[Digimon 06] Purple

"Huh?" When you first heard the news, Youdou still felt a little unbelievable, "Really returned it?"

"It's all returned." Yugo nodded solemnly, "Okada said he found it when he went home yesterday, containing his snatched cards and an envelope with a note written 'I'm sorry' , put it in the mailbox at the door of his house. After hearing what Okada said, I deliberately logged into the game's forum to check the situation, only to find that not only Okada, but all the guys who have been hijacked by the "rare card thief" took Get back what belongs to you."

"So, that guy is serious?" Youdou turned his face away and murmured thoughtfully, "I saw his attitude change so quickly yesterday, I thought he was just trying to put me off..."

On the afternoon of the previous day, Uto immediately rushed back to the ruined game center where Hiroya was after capturing the Knight Chess Beast.After all, HIROYA has absorbed too much energy, which is enough to make the Digimon super-evolve, which inevitably makes Uto feel a little worried about his current state.Fortunately, when he rushed back to the origin, he found that HIROYA's physical condition had returned to normal after the knight chess beast was captured.The only thing that made You Dou feel a little strange was the 180-degree change in attitude of the other party: he not only took the initiative to apologize to You Dou, but also promised to return all the cards he took away.Seeing that HIROYA's spirit was still somewhat sluggish, Uto didn't pursue it too much, but sent him back to the real world after a few symbolic exhortations.Originally, he was ready to urge the boy to return the things, but he didn't expect that he had already taken the initiative.

In short, this turmoil caused by rare cards is temporarily over, right?

"... Yuto, did you hear what I just said?"

Yuto regained his senses in a daze, and found that Xionggo suddenly stood in front of him with a strange expression, "What, what?" He subconsciously looked around for a while, trying to find a direction that could avoid Xionggo's questioning, and then Unwillingly, he finds that he cannot avoid Xionggo's overflowing curiosity at all.

"Where did HIROYA take the previous glasses? Uto, since you can bring the glasses back, it means that you also know that mysterious space? Speaking of which, I didn't see the two of you after the duel with HIROYA yesterday. Although Senior Yu said that there were too many people and couldn’t find you, but you always disappeared inexplicably before contacting me and told me that you went home first..." Xiong Wu stared straight at You Dou, his eyes burning With the enthusiasm and fanaticism that only appear when facing unknown events, "Youdou, are you hiding something from me?!"

Uto turned his gaze to the side stiffly.

"Hey, the guilty expression is too obvious! Well, if you don't say anything else, then you can always tell me," Xiong Wu pointed to the side, "Why did you deliberately detour to this construction site today?"

He came to check whether yesterday's battle in the Digital Crystal Realm had any impact on the human world—how could he say this correct answer when facing Xionggo!

"Could it be...!" Yudou's silence at the moment further promoted the wheel of imagination hidden in Xiongwu's mind to start spinning crazily, "Could it be...Could it be Udou, you are... ...!"

It's a pity that Xiongwu couldn't finish his sentence, and was interrupted by Yudou in a calm tone, "Xiongwu, look over there." He pouted his chin and signaled his friend to turn his head and look back.

Xiongwu turned his head obediently, and found that at a corner not far away, a boy carrying a schoolbag was pushed into the alley by several other tall people.He stretched his neck and looked in that direction a few more times, and finally matched the person in front of him with the impression in his memory, "Youdou, isn't that...?"

Isn't that the guy who bit back and said he cheated after losing the match with Youdou that day? !

"Go, follow and have a look." Youdou was uncharacteristically, he didn't wait for Xiongwu to recover, and took the lead to walk towards the alley - Xiongwu naturally followed.

Just like when they were tracking the glasses, the two parked at the entrance of the alley stealthily, seemingly occupying a corner to study the information on the mobile phone screen together, but in fact the four eyes glanced into the alley at the same time.It's just that before half of the figure could be seen clearly, the noisy noise of the gang of boys came out first.

"Liar!" "Are you trying to lie again?!"

"I didn't!" The besieged boy suddenly raised his voice, overshadowing other people's accusations against him, "I really didn't lie this time!"

"Don't be kidding me!" This time it should be one of the young people who targeted him, "Last time you clearly lost the game because your skills were not as good as others, and you lied to us that the opponent cheated. Later we checked the match It was only after recording that I found out that the cheating ID you mentioned was actually the 'ghost master' who defeated HIROYA with a common card... Now you actually say 'HIROYA is a rare card thief'? Do you think we will still believe you!"

There was no further rebuttal from the boy.And Youdou didn't want to listen to the ongoing conversation in the alley anymore.He looked at Xionggo blankly, convinced that he also saw the word "unbelievable" in the other's eyes. "It's not me." Noticing Yudou's eyes, Xionggo immediately retorted in a low voice, "I don't even know him!"

"How could it be you!" Youdou quickly retorted with his mouth.

But how did that boy know the truth that they deliberately concealed? !

——It seems that there is no other way to find out the truth except to ask directly.

After making up his mind, Uto winked at Yugo.The latter comprehended an "OK" gesture.Immediately afterwards, the two shouted at the same time.

"Mr. Police! Someone here is blackmailing elementary school students!" "It's over here! Mr. Police, come over and have a look!"

The group of teenagers surrounding the boy in the alley were already guilty of guilt, and they panicked even more after hearing such a voice. They had no time to confirm whether the situation was true or not, so they ran away from the alley one by one.

It wasn't until he was sure that the group of people could no longer be seen within sight that Yudou walked slowly into the alley.The first time he saw a schoolbag was thrown in a corner, the buckle was open, and the textbooks that were originally stuffed in the bag were scattered all over the floor.The boy squatted aside without saying a word, just about to pick up one of the books that had been thrown on the ground.After hearing the sound of footsteps again, even though his fingertips had already touched the title page of the book at that time, he stopped abruptly in mid-air, and maintained this posture, carefully raising his head with a panicked expression.

"Yes, it's you." Because of the backlight, it took him some time to see Youdou's face clearly, but he quickly recognized him, "Why are you here? Just now...you heard it all?" After all, the boy didn't pick up the book from the ground. He leaned back and sat down on the ground, "So, you came to see me laughing? Are you satisfied to see me like this now?" Ghost Master'?"

He read out the ID slowly, every syllable was cool.

Yuto once again grabbed Yugo who was about to step forward impulsively, "What you become has nothing to do with me." He said coldly, "I only have one thing to ask you. How do you know 'HIROYA He's the Rare Card Bandit' thing?"

The boy seemed to have misunderstood Yuto's meaning, he deliberately turned his eyes to the side, and said in a frivolous tone, "Why, you are also here to complain for HIROYA? For that dirty bandit?!"

Uto ignored his lame sarcasm, but repeated again, "How do you know about this?"

After replacing a questioning method, the deep meaning originally hidden in Youdou's words was directly exposed to the blue sky and broad daylight.After realizing this meaning, the boy couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, "You... don't tell me..."

Xionggo, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, sighed, "Can you tell us now?"

The boy curled his lips and lowered his head, "Actually... I guessed."

"It's all because of that day, that is, the day I was defeated by you. After leaving the game center, I felt very unwilling and bought another pack of cards. After opening it, I found a 'Platinum Shark' inside."

After hearing this name, Xiongwu gasped, "This is ur in ur, you are so lucky!"

The boy grinned bitterly and continued, "I wanted to use this card to defeat you again. But this card was snatched away by the 'Rare Card Thief' within 5 minutes of my possession." Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became a little annoyed, "It's strange to say that it was a fine day, but for some reason, a gust of golden wind suddenly blew up and swept away the card in my hand."

"Golden yellow, wind...?" Uto asked uncertainly.

"Yes, a gust of golden wind." The boy nodded confidently, "Afterwards, I chased the card all the way, and when I came back to my senses, I found that I somehow came to the different space mentioned by other victims , and the card that should belong to me has already been pinched by the rare card thief. By the way, the reason why you and HIROYA can have that confrontation is because of me." He After a hilarious pause, he continued, "It made me angry to see my cards being robbed. So before the guy left, I said to him, 'You bastard What's so great about other people's cards, I know someone who doesn't need a rare card to beat you!'"

Hearing this, Yugo finally realized, "So it's you!" He bumped Yuto's shoulder with his elbow, "Hey Yuto, now you know why HIROYA came to you at that moment!"

Yudou replied vaguely with a thoughtful look.

"Actually, at that time, I hadn't connected him with HIROYA, who has been rising rapidly in the rankings recently, until he proposed to you—that is, the rumored 'ghost big hand' who can defeat opponents without using any rare cards— When applying, I suddenly thought of the situation when my card was stolen, so I selected HIROYA's game video. Guess what I found in the video?"

"Whenever a rare card is taken away, the same card will appear in HIROYA's hand." Uto replied.

Uto's straightforwardness made the boy look a little frustrated, "You know... also. All in all," he concluded, "it makes me have strong doubts about HIROYA. After all, how can there be such a coincidence in this world? thing."

After saying goodbye to the boy, Yugo followed Yuto back to the game hall again.

"What's the matter, what's the matter? You suddenly said that you have something to confirm, what exactly is it?" After hearing the boy's narration and explanation just now, Yuto became a little strange, which made Xionggo, who could only run with Yuto the whole time, now I just feel confused.

"Come to find someone." After Youdou left this sentence, he entered the crowd and looked around.

The scene in the game hall is still the same.The damage done within the Digital Grain casts no lingering reflection on the building in the real world.However, compared to the scene of rare cards prevailing yesterday, the atmosphere of the players in the game hall today seems to be slightly different.

You Dou went around the hall, but didn't find the figure he was looking for.Just as he stopped to take a breath, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of the electronic screen that could clearly see the information on it at any corner of the hall.

Then, as if someone had pressed the stop button for him, he stood still, staring blankly at the characters on the screen.

"Speaking of which, I haven't mentioned it to you, have I?" Following Yudou's eyes, Xiongwu also looked at the series of IDs listed on the screen, "In the game circle of Ocean Monster Card, the most famous thing is not the ranking. No. 2 on the list, but the No.[-] of Wannian, who is now on the top, 'Don't do it'."

"No.1 may change at any time, but the position of No.2 has not changed since the name of Mr. Bujia appeared on the list. So the players in the forum are all saying that this 'No, Mr. No' is the real top in this game."

"It's just that he has always only participated in online battles, so no one knows what his true face is... Well, what's wrong with you, You Dou?"

After looking away from the list, Uto sighed heavily.He remembered that a few days ago, after his first confrontation with the rare card thief, he returned from the Digital Crystal World and met Senior Yu who happened to pass by this street.

"You two are chasing down the robber who snatched the rare card?" You Dou remembered that he said to himself, "Although I think, instead of following behind each other all the time, it's better to let the other party come to you."

Youdou has always thought that he is almost acting according to his own will in this hunt.But in fact, he doesn't know that he is just a pawn on the chessboard, and the so-called self-awareness is just going in a predetermined direction according to others' predictions.

"No." After buttoning all the scattered details into a string, Uto stepped down his shoulders in frustration, "Compared with him, I'm still far behind..."

In another corner of the city, the street basketball team XrosHeart ushered in their No.30 second consecutive victory after a hard fight.

"By the way, Yuu." After the game, Da Qi asked the junior who was fiddling with his mobile phone while drinking water, "Before you said that the 'rare card thief' incident was left to you to solve, how is the situation now? Are the Digimon at work?"

This is an anecdote that he heard from a member of the baseball club by chance, but he was brought up by Yu before he could tell Jiki that he could handle it all.

"Senior Daqi, what did you say?" Yu put away the phone, and when he turned to Daqi, his face had already changed into the kind of smile he was good at using, "It doesn't matter anymore. That 'Mr. Strange Thief' will never May cause any commotion."

The author has something to say:

Um.On the surface, Uto was doing things, but behind the scenes it was Yuu who was manipulating everything.

If you don’t understand, let me explain a few things Yuu did: one is to imply that Uto can make himself a bait to attract Digimon; Uto led him directly to HIROYA; the third was to remind Uto of the hunting method by text message; Weak and dead in time.The other "I can't do it" is the ID I gave Yu. After all, he has money and brains, and it is no problem to run rampant in the world (no, this incident I just want to show Yu's personal ability that is covered up by the animation, but I My brain is not good, so the layout is very simple, please forgive orz's recent decline, so I let myself go~
