"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

Before she was fully awake, Kotoe could hear many voices lingering in her head.From a familiar doctor, from my sister, from Mr. Zhou... But Qin Hui couldn't hear what they were talking about, like a dilapidated radio that could no longer receive signals, no matter how I adjusted it, it could only receive a buzzing murmur.

"It's this little girl? What can mere humans do?"

"Really, what does Kirubimun-sama want this human girl for?"

"Don't speculate on the meaning of Lord Cherubimon casually. Master Cherubimon must have his reasons for doing this!"

Not long after, those annoying voices finally gradually moved away from her.Qin Hui forced herself to open her eyelids, only to feel sore all over her body, and her limbs were stiff as if they didn't belong to her, especially the back of her neck, which was still slightly numb.Qin Hui tried to move her fingers, and then barely supported her body.

The memory before coma tends to be clearer.Kotoe put her hands behind her neck and kept pressing the surrounding skin to soothe the pain.Damn giant rock beast, it's so ruthless!She cursed in a low voice, and stood up on the ground again.The legs are still a little sore and limp, but fortunately they are not injured, and they can be restored to their original shape with a little movement.

She checked her body and found that her waist bag was still there, and the contents of the bag were not missing, including the armed Tyrannosaurus that might become very important to her.At this point, Kotoe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to look at the surrounding environment.

In fact, she didn't need to do that at all.Because except for a glimpse of light in an inch square of where she was, the rest was pitch black, and even the outlines of things in the darkness could not be captured.A more vivid description is that her current situation is a bit like the heroine in a horror game with a light source, but as long as she goes beyond the map outside the range, she can't see anything.

God, where did the giant rock beast take her?

Qin Hui tried to walk a certain distance towards the front she believed. At the beginning, she walked slowly and carefully. After a while, she quickly found that the place was very wide, as if she could not touch the boundary at all.So she simply stopped, because she was not sure whether her behavior of continuing to move forward was simply a waste of energy.

At this time, Qin Hui suddenly remembered something.Ever since she got the badge of light in the underground ruins, or more accurately, after entering the underground ruins, she didn't seem to get sick again.Several times during the subsequent journey, she encountered possible triggers for the disease, but it turned out that nothing happened.Is it her luck?Or something else... like, the badge of light.

Then can she come to the conclusion that at this moment, the emblem representing light can help her break through the darkness and walk out of this chaotic and boundless area.

Guessing like this, she immediately stopped moving forward, but found the light gray and water blue armed Tyrannosaurus machine in her bag. "The emblem of light..." she whispered silently, trying to summon the pattern of the emblem like the last time.It's just that no matter how she pressed the buttons below the screen alternately, her machine never responded.

"How could it be?" The hand holding the machine hangs down feebly, Kotoe gave up trying.She raised her head, and there was also seemingly endless darkness above her head. She felt as if she was trapped in a certain samsara space, and no matter how she walked, she could not escape this terrifying black envelope.

It was light before, but now it's... dark?

"Huh..." Qin Hui let out a breath, and then took a deep breath.She had to be calm, panic would not do her any good at this moment of cluelessness.She tried to recall what she said before she was caught by the giant rock beast, maybe she could find some clues in it.But no matter how she recalled, she couldn't remember what Grotonmon said at all. Even before, he didn't show the idea of ​​catching him and threatening Takuya and the others.Now that he has found the digital code, what else does he need to do?To threaten Takuya and they exchange fighter spirit?Despite the possibility, she didn't think that keeping herself in this dark place would pose any threat to Takuya and the others.But if the Grotonmon doesn't get any benefits, then...will it be the Cherubimon?

When this idea appeared in her mind, Qin Hui couldn't help laughing at herself.She really thinks highly of herself, what's the use of the cherubim to catch her, a sickly human child? !Apart from her damned inescapable asthma, she doesn't think she has any other special features that can be used by the "big devil" Cherubimon who destroys the world.

Qin Hui simply sat down cross-legged.She put the armed Tyrannosaurus machine back into her pocket.And at this moment, her fingers touched something.Kotoe turned her head and glanced curiously, then took out the wrinkled envelope from her pocket.

By the way, she almost forgot about this.Written notification about the interview.

Qin Hui carefully opened the envelope and took out the thin piece of letter paper. She couldn't help but recall her sister's furious appearance in her mind.Speaking of which, the first opportunity for her to come to the Digimon world was because of this interview notice from the selection meeting.At that time, she sent the registration form without telling her sister, because she was afraid that her sister would not agree, and imitated her sister's signature to sign the form.It turned out that she didn't expect that when she received the interview notice, the other party's notification phone also came to her home.Afterwards, the lie was exposed, and my sister was furious, and after that...

Qin Hui smiled wryly.She unfolded the letter paper and found that she didn't seem to have read the sentence on it properly.

But... his fingers unconsciously clenched the fragile page tightly.Even if she knew the time and place of the notification above, it would be of no use to her.It seems that it has been more than a week since I came to the world of Digimon. In addition to her, there are Takuya and others. The number of six people is enough to be called a mass disappearance that can cause a sensation in the society... And now she is trapped In this unknown place, I don't know what happened to Takuya and the others.

"If I also have the spirit of a fighter..." When this idea came up, Kotoe was taken aback.How did she become the same as Youshu, who would place expectations on this unrealistic possibility.However, once such thoughts appear in the mind, it is not so easy to get rid of them.

Fighter spirit...does there really exist a fighter spirit that belongs to her?

No... no no no no no no... Kotoe shook her head, trying to expel such thoughts from her mind completely.It shouldn't be like this, she should be used to being alone, and she won't let herself rely on others casually, let alone this kind of soul power that has no basis at all.

"No, it's not like that." In her mind, a small voice reminded her. "You have obviously been relying on others. Kimura Kouichi, isn't that boy your only friend? You clearly know that your existence is a trouble to him, but you still can't help but want to rely on him. So If one day he also chooses to leave you, you must be in pain and wish to die immediately, right?"

"Huiichi?" Kotoe shrank her legs, and then rested her chin on her knees, "Heh, who can't live after leaving someone?" She habitually wanted to veto that this was too extreme However, when the boy's gentle smile clearly appeared in her memory, she noticed that she could not deny the fact, "Kuichi..." At that moment, the cowardly and incompetent she seemed to come back again.Her mind was full of thoughts of wanting to see him, just as one of the few reliances when she was sad and tired.

"But he's not here. I can only be stronger." She laughed at herself, but felt extremely bitter in her heart.

"Won't you be reconciled?" The little voice in your head said again, "Compared with those friends who are on the same road with you, don't you feel reconciled? They don't know anything, they have a happy family, have healthy body, but even so they don't realize how happy it is to have these feelings, but complain about some trivial things."

That voice, that voice in her head, was not a hallucination. "Who? Who are you?" Qin Hui suddenly stood up from the spot, but the voice in her head was still telling her the anger buried deep in her heart.She tried to find the source of the voice, but finally found that the voice really existed in her head, and whispered to her constantly.Who on earth was it that actually spoke out some negative thoughts that flashed through her mind?

"Shimizu Kotoe, do you hate everything in front of you? Do you hate this cowardly self in front of you? Do you want to change the status quo?" The voice was seductive, and a white light suddenly appeared in front of Kotoe's eyes, and countless beautiful pictures appeared in front of her It flashed before my eyes.

The parents who only exist in memory and photos, gently holding her and her sister, the family of four took a walk in the park; she was able to participate in the sprint competition at the school sports meeting that she had never been able to watch; on a hot summer day , to be able to feel the luscious sweetness of ice cream; and the dream she has always longed for, to be able to stand in the center of the stage and sing, and she caught a glimpse of Kouichi's face in the audience, and he looked at her and showed her Gentle smile.

These scenes of her dreams emerged one by one in front of her, as beautiful as a dream from which she would never wake up.Qin Hui stood in place and stared blankly at this scene passing by quickly, forgetting where she was for a moment.

However, she quickly withdrew her wandering thoughts. "It's really beautiful." Qin Hui tilted her head and smiled subconsciously, "But these are all lies." With a little girl's coquettish tone, she calmly stated the fact that she believed.

"No." Unexpectedly, the voice in her head firmly rejected her, "These are all real." After a thought-provoking pause, the voice added again, "These will no longer be your delusions , for they will all become real."

"Family forever, health forever, friends forever. You have nothing to lose." The seductive voice told her, "As long as you accept this, no... this is actually you as well." desire, that is what you desire, power!"

The originally empty environment changed, and a long and narrow corridor appeared in front of Kotoe.But at a glance, at the end of the corridor, there is something shining with a beautiful dark blue light.Her feet began to move involuntarily.It took only a moment for her to pass through that darkness and reach the place of light that guided her.

"What the Digimon world can't give you, I can give you."

"Come on, this is yours, yours alone... the power to change everything!"

"Mine?" Qin Hui's puzzled voice raised slightly.She stared at the blue shell-shaped thing in front of her that was emitting sea-blue light to the surroundings.A little ruby ​​from the center of the shell shone brightly, and the too harsh light made her eyes feel dry and painful.Even so, she couldn't bear to take her eyes off it.

"Yes, this is your unique fighter spirit. Among the ten fighters, the water-type fighter, Nanamon's fighter spirit." The voice clearly answered her question.

"Water type fighter, Nanamon's fighter spirit? Is it mine?" Kotoe subconsciously repeated the words of the other party.What puzzled her was that she didn't have the slightest doubt about this mysterious voice.In fact, the water system is indeed one of the ten fighters, and she has seen related records in the murals of the candle beast village.

"Come on, grab this power that belongs to you, so that you will no longer be a burden to others, won't you?" Right on her mind.

Kotoe is not without desire.She is just an ordinary person, so she will naturally have the emotions that ordinary people should have.When looking at Takuya, Kouji, Junpei, Koizumi, and even the youngest Yuki... When she watched them fight from the sidelines, she felt extremely envious in her heart.I envy them that they can acquire such incredible power, and even envy them that they can acquire the capital to meddle in their own affairs.Unlike her, it's always just that she can't protect herself.

"Is this true?" However, when the fighter spirit that "truly belongs to her" appeared in front of Kotoe's eyes, she actually flinched.She didn't have the courage to reach out to grab this power, because she was doubting herself, wondering whether she, who couldn't even have a healthy body, could really have the ability to evolve into a Digimon.

Could it be that she can run freely after getting the fighter spirit?Is it possible to make up for everything she lost after getting the fighter spirit?Kotoe didn't know the answer.Even if "he" told her in a decisive tone: "Of course."

Thinking of this, Kotoe took a step back timidly.At this moment, her hearing caught a slight whisper from a quiet place behind her.She turned her head uneasily, as if she caught a glimpse of a vague outline in the darkness.

"Why are you hesitating? Why don't you reach out? Isn't what you desire close at hand?" The voice seemed a little impatient, and "he" kept urging Kotoe, hoping that she could wipe that touch away as soon as possible. The dark blue light is held tightly in the palm of your hand.

At this time, Qin Hui became curious and wary of the shadow behind her. She pretended not to hear the urging from "him", and looked hard into the depths of the darkness, trying to see the figure hiding in the darkness clearly.The visitor didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, and she didn't know what kind of measures should be taken to be correct.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you grab the power that can completely change you?"

"Who is it?" Qin Hui ignored the urging voice, and instead took two steps towards the darkness, "Takuya? Koizumi?" She tentatively called her companion's name, comparing similar heights in her heart, she Changed the title, "Wild wolf beast?" However, when she saw the figure clearly, she regretted her recklessness.

What appeared before her eyes seemed to be just a humanoid statue covered in pitch-black armor.Its hands were hanging by its sides, and it stood motionless not far from her.But this statue gave her a terrible feeling, especially when she was stared at by the lifelike blood-red eyeball on her chest, it seemed that there was really a cold gaze that was constantly examining her.Qin Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at herself for being nervous.

"It doesn't matter, does it?" The voice was about to run out of patience, "Go grab it! Grab your fighter spirit!" At the same time, there was an invisible thrust that kept Kotoe away from the statue, sending her back to the statue. Back to the fighter spirit.

Kotoe forced herself to temporarily forget the statue behind her and the strange gaze from it.She thought for a moment in silence, and Qin Hui had to admit that what the mysterious voice told her was really very tempting.After possessing the spirit of a fighter, she is no longer just a mere spectator, no longer a burden, isn't this what she has always hoped for most?So, she settled her mind, and then stretched out her hand to the fighter spirit.

As her fingertips approached, the dark blue light became more and more intense, as if the spirit of a fighter echoed her, just because she felt her presence and felt her state of mind.And that voice that didn't know where it came from was also trembling with excitement because of her actions.

"Okay, that's it! Quick, grab your strength!"

However, Kotoe's hand still failed to touch the clump of light in the end.She smiled helplessly, retracted her hand again, and replied to the whisperer hidden in her mind: "I'm really sorry, I still can't believe the words from strangers so quickly. And I don't believe it, There is such a free lunch in this world.”

"Hey, Mr. Mysterious Man, please tell me: what is the price I will pay after entrusting this fighter spirit to me?"
