[Digimon 06] Purple

badge?

Zi raised her eyes and met Yu's questioning gaze cast towards her from the side of her head, but she herself was also at a loss for this strange term spit out from the mouth of the metal phantom beast. "I don't know what a 'badge' is." She said frankly to the Digimon in front of her——Looking at Yu's expression, it should be the first time he's heard of such a thing, "Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"

But what she didn't notice was that, after staggering her eyes, Yu's eyes were thoughtful.

Zi's ​​calm answer made the Metal Phantom Beast's movements noticeably stagnant.It actually put away the scythe formed by gathering energy, floating in the air like a ghost.Only the blood-red highlights in those empty eye sockets hid in the darkness and observed the person in front of him.

This time Zi calmly met the scrutiny of the metal phantom beast.At least, she didn't think she had that thing called a "badge" that Metal Phantom Beast said.

Ziben thought that her honesty would make Metal Phantommon give up—she saw Yuu’s hand in her pocket, so she must be ready to summon Strongmon at any time—for the combination of Strongmon and Hualamon Whether she will be able to defeat the metal phantom beast in the end, after experiencing the battle in the evening, she is not at all sure.But since she doesn't have what the Metal Phantom Beast wants, it naturally doesn't need to waste time on her.

The reality ran counter to Zi's expectations.

"Jie Jie Jie..." I heard the piercing laughter of the metal phantom beast again, "It's a pity," it was still the kind of meaningless sigh that people couldn't grasp, but it was uttered by a deep and hoarse voice. Its voice suddenly sank, and it murmured meaningfully, "Humans are really naive and stupid creatures."

Before the words fell, the voice of the metal phantom beast suddenly disappeared in place.Before the eyes of Zi and Yu caught up with the erratic figure, the black robe appeared again in the shadows.Different from just now, the metal phantom beast's crutches were holding a pale face full of shock at this moment.

The moment Zi saw the familiar face clearly, Zi immediately panicked, "Youdou!" For a moment, she completely lost her mind, rushing forward desperately to get out of the hands of this devil in the shell of death. To save my younger brother, fortunately, Youyan quickly grabbed her arm and stopped her forcefully, "Student Ruoye!"

The undeniable force coming from her arm and Yu's low voice still made Zi wake up a little bit.She immediately stopped her useless resistance, and stared coldly at the boy bound by the metal phantom beast, "Youdou, why are you here?" Her fair face was as cold as frost and snow, and there was a faint chill in her voice .

Uto was silent.He glanced at Zi quickly, then quickly lowered his eyelashes, and pressed his lips tightly together.An unknown force lifted his body in the air, and the metal Phantom Beast's cane was placed across his fragile neck.Whether it was fear or some other factor, the blood on his cheeks had completely gone.

"Jie Jie Jie," the voice was actually a metal phantom beast, and its opening remark was still the same strange laughter that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, "This boy has been hiding behind secretly for a while." Dou, "It seems that he wants to," the metal phantom beast deliberately paused for a while, as if it had been thinking for a long time to get such a vocabulary that can be accurately expressed in human language, "sneak attack?" Tighten the metal cane that is strapped across Yu Dou's neck.

The boy was strangled and raised his head reluctantly, but he still kept his lips tightly shut and said nothing.

Faced with this stalemate, Zi suddenly felt powerless.She lowered her shoulders in frustration, and whispered to the metal phantom beast, "I've already said that I don't know what 'badge' is, what else do you want?"

The unfolded dark cloak drew a slight arc in the night, and the tall body of the metal phantom beast soundlessly approached Zi's place, "It's okay," the withered knuckles wearing metal fingertips turned the metal staff in their hands, The ram's blood-colored stone-studded eyes stared eerily at her. "Anyway, regardless of the process, the result is always the same."

I don't know if she had an unrealistic hallucination under the oppression of the metal phantom beast. For a moment, Zi seemed to hear the sound of continuous waves coming from the distant horizon.

No... that's actually not a hallucination.

Just behind the metal phantom beast, monstrous waves instantly rose.The salty sea water covered the sky, and the huge tide rolled up behind it almost completely isolated the dark night sky above.

Barely visible in the night, a sailing ship sailed on the cusp of the wind and waves, with the pattern of sails on the mast fully bulging.

Following Zi's gradually raised line of sight, the Metal Phantom Beast noticed something strange behind him.

The moment it turned its head and was distracted, Yu from behind suddenly grabbed Zi's wrist again and pulled her back.At the same time, the figure of the strong beast crossed with the two retreating people, the golden light flashed away, and rescued Yudou from the metal phantom beast's confinement.But Yudou, who was protected by the strong beast, fell into a tense state, "Sister, you stand back!" He jumped out of the strong beast's arm eagerly, and took out a Zizi, which is very familiar with it, from his pocket. machine.I don't know what Youdou did, but I saw a huge arc-shaped transparent barrier opening from the screen of XrosLoader. The appearance is like the texture of soap bubbles, and seven-color halos can be seen flowing in it under the projection of lights.

The rushing waves naturally hit the barrier opened by Yudou.Seemingly a thin layer, the waves rush back into the sea as if hitting a solid rock, splashing sparkling water in the night.Pirate ships with carved skulls on the bows, which I had only seen in that wild dream, drifted in the waves.As the tide gradually subsided, this pirate ship, which seemed to have sailed out of the Middle Ages, parked boldly on the streets of the community.

Zi and Yu looked at each other.A corner of the robe of the metal phantom beast protruded from the bottom of the boat, and the ram-headed crutch fell not far from the robe.

After putting away the foam barrier, Youdou felt his legs and feet go weak, and he sat back on the ground.

A tall and strong figure jumped off the bow of the pirate ship.The black robe embroidered with gold trim walked behind him automatically without wind.He stopped beside Yuto, and stretched out his hand to Yuto who was sitting on the ground.

"No." Yudou waved his hand, "Let me rest for a while." The nerves that had been tense since being hijacked by the metal phantom beast completely relaxed at this moment. Various factors combined made him tired now. It's going to kill me.

"Iron Hook Beast, huh?" The clear voice rang in his ears, and there was no extra emotion.

"It's Captain Iron Hook." Udou subconsciously explained.He turned his eyes and saw Zi's expression was calm, he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his short hair, and sighed sadly, "Sister..." Seeing Zi's face as usual, Udou felt more and more weak.

"Secondly sickness from watching too many cartoons? Huh?" Zi glanced at the dull Hook Captain Beast, and fought back.

Uto sighed again.Now he has fully realized what it means to be self-inflicted, "I apologize..." he muttered inarticulately, "I just didn't expect it," he raised his eyes again, and glanced at Yuu who was walking towards the two from behind. , "Senior Amano is actually..." Even though he was still staring at a pair of dead fish eyes, there was a little disappointment in Yuto's tone for no reason.

His words made Zi realize something, "You already knew that I was a 'Digimon Hunter', and you kept it from me." Recalling the series of performances of Youdou since this period, Zi was not surprised by this fact .Including the previous Butterfly Beast incident, I am afraid that Yudou was also abducted into the same dream with them in a daze at that time, but he did not see him for various reasons.

Youdou didn't answer for a while, but just looked at her with somewhat aggrieved eyes.

At this moment, two strange voices came from above: "Master Youdou?" "Master Youdou, are you alright?"

The siblings looked up at the direction of the sound almost at the same time, and saw two small heads protruding from the railing of the bow of the pirate ship.Due to the night, Zi could only see two vague outlines.It can only be confirmed that they kept holding on to the railing with both hands in unison, and kept looking around in the night to find Youdou's figure.

Under the streetlight, Youdou's face blushed unnaturally for a moment, "Didn't you tell me not to call me 'Sir'..." He just underestimated, then raised his voice and said to the two heads above, "I'm fine , put the boat away!"

"Obey!" The two heads above responded in unison.

One of the heads jumped out of the railing with light movements, and she flapped her transparent wings behind the back and flew around the pirate ship for a circle, leaving countless golden fluorescent powder in her path.After being surrounded by fluorescent powder, the entire ship shrinks rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it changes to the extent that it can fit in the palm of your hand.

The miniature pirate ship fell to the ground from mid-air, and Captain Iron Hook quickly stepped forward to pick up the model-sized pirate ship, and stuffed it roughly into a rectangular glass bottle.After doing all this, he handed the glass bottle to the Digimon who appeared in front of him—who appeared at an unknown time—a boy in green clothes.After receiving the glass bottle, the boy in green and the little fairy just saluted the captain together, and then they turned into two beams of light and entered Udou's XrosLoader.

"It's Petermon and Dinkmon." Yuu quickly recognized the identities of these two Digimon, "But I remember that the hunter's rule book limits..."

"...Only one can reload." Yudou accepted Yu's words, and then explained to the two of them, "These two guys are an exception, both of them and this pirate ship are like the 'accessory equipment' of the hook beast , so their scope of activities is limited to the ship. To know that a ship can only have a captain, it must have sailors."

Speaking of which, Uto stood up with one hand on the ground, followed behind Yu and carefully stopped near the pile of fabric left after the metal phantom beast was crushed, "This guy, what's going on?" He asked He hesitated and kicked the limp fabric with his toe, "Is this considered a successful hunt?"

There was no light blue halo around the Digimon data fragments after being defeated, and XrosLoader did not respond.

"Of course not."

Zi's ​​body froze in place immediately, and felt shuddering for a while.There was no horrified laughter, but the terrible deep and hoarse voice still blew into her cochlea gently against her back.

Behind him, the shadow of the black robe descended from the sky.It can be seen from the ground that the open shadow seems to engulf her completely.

Zi opened his mouth.She felt her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't make any sound.

"I will accept this badge."

The tip of the sickle made of dark red light just happened to pass through the heart.She lowered her head a little, and she could see the invisible blade that pierced through her chest with a shimmering light.

pain.

Once upon a time, I have experienced similar pain in my memory.Her body was directly pierced by the blade, and her consciousness was tormented blank by the familiar pain.

Uto stood there stunned by the sudden change.He was dazed for more than ten seconds before he heard his own voice trembling from his lips, "Sister..."

Is this hallucination?This is an illusion!How could my sister...

As if eager to seek approval for this idea, Yuto turned his head to look at Yu in a panic, but he didn't expect the fear in the other party's eyes to be more than his.

The blood completely disappeared from the blond boy's face. His hands hanging by his side seemed to want to grab something from the void, but the trembling hands couldn't even do this simple movement.Only he knew that it was a scene that had appeared in the digital world a year ago, and now it was reappearing before his eyes again.This time, he still watched helplessly as the sharp weapon pierced the thin body of the person in front of him again.He vowed to protect her, but nothing changed.

"Huh? Strange." The metal phantom beast put away the scythe without warning, and the inevitable smile disappeared from the face of the skeleton.The unconscious body of the girl in front of it immediately collapsed to the ground after leaving the only support.The Grim Reaper in a large cloak was still floating in the air, thinking.

It still didn't get what it wanted, and it lost interest for a while.

Just when the Metal Phantom Beast was about to leave the spot and return to the Digital Crystal Realm to question the guy who let it snatch the badge, a golden figure suddenly stood in the way of his eyes.It's a pity that it has long lost the mood to play with these children, "What's the matter?" It turned its head, and glanced at the blond boy who was still standing under the light not far away.It clearly understands the brand-new rules of this world, and also understands what kind of position humans occupy in the combination of humans and Digimon.

"Oh, how could it be?" You lowered his head, his long golden hair hung down in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment, "Strong Beast, the goal this time is not hunting," he chuckled and evoked the end of his voice. There was a hint of cruelty in the innocent voice, just like when he stood beside the Dark Knight Beast a year ago, "It's obliteration."
