"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

This is a rectangular room that seems to be made of glass or crystal.Unknown white vines snaked outside the transparent walls, and those snow-white vines densely wrapped around the room, like curved patterns naturally carved on the walls.The exquisite silver lampstands seen on the stone steps are also hung on the walls. There is a bright pearl in the center of the lampstands for lighting, but in addition to these pearls, there is also a snow-white lamp on the central altar. The candles flickered gently, so that this building, which was supposed to be located in the deep sea where you can't see your fingers, radiated a gentle silvery white brilliance around.When you look up, you can see the dark blue sea water outside the transparent pointed cone zenith, glowing faintly.

Qin Hui walked down the steps and stood on the aisle between the benches.She glanced roughly at the layout of the room, but found that she didn't find anything like an exit.This square transparent space seems to be isolated in the depths of the ocean, relying on the tiny ray of light, it exists alone.

She probably chose the wrong direction.Thinking of this, Kotoe lowered her head a little.Just when she was about to tell Bogomon and Q&Amon this information, Bogomon's panicked shout came from behind: "Kotoe, come and have a look!" Hearing Bogomon's voice was a bit strange, so Kotoe took a few steps Go back to the altar-like decoration that they got out of just now.

The pogo was still standing by the altar, holding the red velvet drapery that covered the altar.They had come to this place a moment before through a secret door under the altar.But now... when Qin Hui walked in, she found that the secret door had disappeared.Beneath the cloth, only white marble remained.

Qin Hui looked at Bogomon and Q&A beast in surprise, and Bogomon immediately shook his hands and argued, "Qinhui, I didn't do anything!" Then he glared at Q&A beast beside him, "You can also say something What is it, stupid beast!"

"Ah?" The quiz beast seemed to have just woken up from a dream, "What are you talking about? And I'm a quiz beast, not... eh!" The quiz beast's voice disappeared into a crisp belt snap.

Kotoe was too lazy to watch the daily small theater between Bokomon and Quimonon.Kneeling in front of the altar, she raised her hand and tapped on the snow-white area in front of her, and as expected, she heard a muffled sound.Kotoe curled the corner of her mouth bitterly.Just as she was about to find another way out, she suddenly found a small mark on the upper part of the altar, but it looked like a mark carved on the stone wall. She touched it with her fingers to roughly determine the shape of the mark.It's just that this trace is not a regular-shaped symbol, and Kotoe has never seen such a symbol in his impression, so he naturally left it behind.

"Did it really disappear?" Bogomon looked at her with a mournful face.

Qin Hui nodded with difficulty, and she looked around again: "Let's find another exit, there should be some mechanism leading to the ground in this place. Now?" Her eyes alternated between Bogomon and The question-and-answer beasts turned around, hoping that they could give their own affirmative comfort.This time the two little ones didn't say anything more, Bogomon nodded: "Understood." And the Q&A beast followed Bogomon to look for traces of the mechanism.

Before starting her search, Kotoe couldn't help but glance back at the only painted glass above her.The mermaid with long golden hair has a calm expression, and the scales on the fish's tail reflect a beautiful blue light in the sea water.The dense and winding snow-white vines did not completely cover and surround it, but she could clearly distinguish the color of the mermaid's hair under the reflection of the dark sea water, which was incredible.

Nothing at all.

Kotoe carefully flipped through the blank thick book on the altar, inspected the only white candle on the silver candlestick next to the book, studied the glass-like walls, and even bent down to look at the rows of Is there any hidden mechanism hidden under the bench?However, she got nothing.The only thing that can be determined is that all the utensils in this place, including the benches and the wordless book placed on the altar, have some old traces.This is a very contradictory thing, because from the length of the candle, it seems that it cannot support it to burn for so long, but whether it is the peeling paint marks on the back of the bench or the yellowed corners of the pages, it clearly gives this A clue that indicates a contradiction.

However, this conclusion is irrelevant to the current Kotoe.After all, it didn't help her find the exit.

Kotoe walked around the room a little irritably, and finally had to sit on the steps in frustration, accepting the fact that she couldn't find any way out.

She couldn't help but start asking herself, why is she here?Why does she have to sit here now, agonizing over being trapped in a glass house that seems to have nowhere to go?Everything shouldn't be like this... Could it be that this is the future she wants?

"Kotoe, how's it going? Have you found the exit yet?" Pokomon, who also turned around the room, looked at her expectantly, as if putting all his hopes on her.

Qin Hui shook her head, then bent down, wrapping her arms around her knees.She felt as if she had lost the strength to speak.The only thing she could do was to force herself to accept the fact in front of her.

"Woo! How could this be? Is it possible, is it possible that we will be trapped in this place until we become a pile of dry bones? I don't want it!" But Kotoe's silence before was exchanged for Pogomon There was a loud howl.

Qin Hui glanced lazily at Bogomon, then lowered her gaze again.

What happened before passed her eyes like a revolving lantern. At first, with the help of the ice wizard beast, she escaped from the castle of the ultimate angel beast without stopping, and then entered the tunnel at the end of the tunnel, where there seemed to be no way out. Then he was accidentally buried in an inexplicable crack, and finally arrived at this cage-like place along the weird stone steps... Kotoe suddenly felt a sense of fatigue and boredom, and it ran along the limbs Baike penetrated into every corner of the body.

Not only Takuya, but also Koizumi, Junpei, Yuki, and even Kouji used that kind of cautious gaze, letting it fall on her body as if there was nothing, and then before she found out, it was like Averted his gaze as if nothing had happened.They try their best to create an atmosphere where nothing happened, but they always inadvertently reveal certain details that people care about in their eyes, expressions and manners.

Otherwise, why would Junpei act so hesitant to speak to her in the carriage?Why did Tuo pay special attention to her when they were running for their lives?And why, when everyone was running away, everyone slowed down a little, just to cooperate with her, a patient who has been dragging her feet? !

Qin Hui looked at the armed tyrannosaurus machine that she had grasped in her palm at some point, and couldn't help but ask herself: Is this the future she wants?

The Pogo beast has already started pacing back and forth in the aisle, and the voice of chattering is like a noisy background sound: "No! Absolutely not! My baby hasn't been born safely, and he hasn't had a glimpse of the world yet. Do you want to be trapped here for the rest of your life? I don’t want it! Baby, Mom and Dad are sorry for you!”

Perhaps, being trapped in this place is the right choice for her future.

From the very beginning, her fate was already doomed.She was born a waste, a burden, how could she really obtain that magical and special power like Takuya and the others? !She is different from Takuya and the others. She has recognized this fact for a long time, but naively and stupidly believes in the faint hope, wants to believe that her choice is correct, wants to tell others... no, It is to prove to myself that I am not just a drag.

But she failed, didn't she?

Nanamon is right.She thought she had caught the last train of luck, and deluded herself into weaving a hopeful dream.How can useless waste have its own reality? !

Kotoe buried her face in a small space surrounded by her arms.She took a long breath and slowly closed her eyes.Just the thought of stopping makes me lose the courage to keep going.

"That..." Q&A poked Pogomon on the shoulder, as if it wanted to say something to him.

"Ah! This is not your problem in the final analysis! If you didn't drill holes randomly, we wouldn't be trapped in this unknown ghost place!" The angry Pogomon grabbed the question-and-answer beast's belt, "You This idiot!"

"Please be quiet..."

"I'm not an idiot beast, I'm... ouch!" Kotoe's voice was drowned out by the wailing of the quiz beast, "Even if you say that, I...don't flick my belt!" The quiz beast was messing around Scurrying, dodging the pokomon that is still nimble even with an egg stuffed in its bib.

"I don't care! Stupid beast! Stupid beast! Stop and don't run! You stupid beast!"

"Can't you just shut up?!" When Kotoe came back to her senses, she realized that she had stood up from the steps and yelled at Pogomon and Q&Amon.

Her abrupt shout made Pogomon and Q&Amon freeze in place at the same time, and they all turned their gazes to Kotoe, with bewildered expressions on their faces.

"Why did I encounter such a thing?" Qin Hui lowered her head and turned around slowly. "Why does it have to be me?" She glanced coolly at Pogomon and Q&Amon, her light gray pupils couldn't find any focal length, "Hey, if it's Takuya who's trapped here with you, or someone else Everyone is good, so I can evolve and take you out, right?"

"You think so?! It must be...!" She clenched one hand into a fist, then loosened it weakly, "I know it! I'm a useless guy! Even if others don't Tell me I know it too! Without the spirit of a fighter, I will only become a burden to everyone!" Kotoe raised her voice sharply, "What 'member of the team' is just a good-sounding, lame comfort That's all!"

Kotoe knew that all of this had nothing to do with Pogomon and Q&Amon, and she shouldn't willfully turn the depression she felt due to her own incompetence into anger and vent it on them.There was a voice in her head constantly telling her to calm down, but once the gate was opened, it was not so easy to stop.In the end, the voice in her head urging her to calm down was suppressed, and the only thing she could hear clearly was her meaningless yelling.

"Even without me, they can still go on with their own strength! And I can only watch from the side, and then talk nonsense, this kind of indifferent role... Who would want to become such an existence ah!"

"This thing... this thing!" She raised the armed Tyrannosaurus machine that she had been holding in her hand, and threw it aside, "What use is it to me!" The rectangular machine was thrown alone to the corner.Qin Hui looked back with a sullen face, unwilling to give another glance in its direction.

This was the first time that Bogomon and Q&Amon saw Kotoe showing such emotional fluctuations, and her sudden outburst of anger made both little ones feel a little flustered. "Qin Hui..." Bo Gaomon seemed to want to go to her side to comfort her, but was rudely waved away by Qin Hui: "Go away! Can't you just leave me alone!"

Saying so, she turned her back angrily, not wanting to look at Bogomon's sympathetic expression at the moment.

When she raised her head, the benevolent expression of the mermaid on the stained glass looked more like pity in Kotoe's eyes.She just felt unwilling, but still painfully avoided that invisible sight. "Why me?" She repeated in a low voice, a question that no one would know the answer to, "Why me...my existence, no matter in this world or in the human world, is so inevitable no?"

"How thick-skinned it must have been to be able to follow them shamelessly until now..." She laughed at herself.

The snow-white vines wrapped around the transparent wall formed a tight shape.Qin Hui looked at the dark sea outside in confusion, but couldn't see her pale complexion and dazed expression through the reflection.

"Kinto..." Bogomon walked up to her carefully, and said in a low voice, "If you feel sad, just cry." After finishing speaking, Bogomon glanced tentatively at her expression at the moment, and considered himself "Although doing this may not change anything, but... this should make you feel better." Saying so, Bogomon lowered its head.

Kotoe didn't look at the Pogomon standing behind her.She lowered her head slightly, pressing her forehead against the cold wall.She can't cry.Because excessive mood swings are also triggers for asthma.It's just...Koto touched her cheek in bewilderment, but it was unexpectedly damp and cold.

Tears piled up in her eyes faster than she imagined, and her vision soon became hazy.Qin Hui squatted down, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth, but she still couldn't hide the low whimper, which leaked out from between her fingers.

She could feel the pogomon gently stroking her back, just like her mother used to do in her vague memory. "It's okay, it's okay... there must be something to do." Maybe Bogomon himself didn't understand why he said such words, maybe this was the only words he could think of as comforting words.

But... what to do?What should she do?She seems to have lost the courage to continue walking... She even pessimistically expects that she will be imprisoned in this glass cage for the rest of her life, walking towards the end of her life alone.This is the result that everyone wants.Whether it's Takuya and the others, or sister, or...Kuichi.

Huiichi.

When thinking of this name, the scarlet, emotionless eyes of the Dark Beast appeared in her mind.

"Ah? What is this?" The question-and-answer beast who didn't know when it came to Kotoe's side pointed to the place where Kotoe was leaning just now.His curious question successfully attracted the attention of Kotoe and Pogomon.
