[Digimon 06] Purple

This is a semi-circular room as a whole.

Lights of different colors are flashing on the precision instruments that occupy most of the space. Wires of different thicknesses are twisted into bundles that cannot be distinguished from each other. Image.If she hadn't been mentally prepared for a long time, Zi would probably suspect that she came to a high-tech laboratory that she had only seen in sci-fi movies, rather than the core area in the body of the crystal beast.

Just like it is impossible to accurately find the existence of a drop of water from the river and sea, her body, which has already been digitized, easily merges into the torrent of data of the crystal world beast, becoming an imperceptible one-hundredth of a millionth.What's more, the ongoing hunting operation outside has successfully distracted part of the attention of the crystal boundary beast.

But that doesn't mean it's foolproof.

Recalling Selene's entrustment, Zi quickly put away her thoughts of emotion, and she quickly walked to the side where there was an input keyboard, and opened the analysis mode of XrosLoader.

The two slender arms that once belonged to the Molecule Beast protruded from both ends of the machine as connecting wires, and were accurately inserted into the wiring jack on one side, and then several circular images were projected in mid-air through the narrow square screen.The program specially made by Selene automatically started to operate the moment the connection was made to the host computer, and the lines of data codes quickly filled the blanks in the circle.

Zi continued to observe for a while, and was quietly relieved when he saw that the program was running smoothly without any abnormalities.

"At this moment, he has probably been waiting for a long time."

The densely packed characters are reflected in the bottom of the purple-colored eyes, forming a sentence that is completely reversed, "I mean Selene-kun."

"What?" XrosLoader flickered, and another screen popped up in mid-air, and the sesame-sized text that filled her pupils was instantly replaced by a flowery beast with two hands, "I just noticed it was being used? If you regret it, don't agree so readily at the time!" She slouched and tilted her body, looking as if she was leaning on the arc-shaped frame.

Zi glanced at Hualamon, then turned his gaze back to the half of the transparent light screen that was being calculated, "I know what I'm doing."

It's just... I can't help but feel emotional.

If it was an unexpected accident that her soul was involved in the digital world through the rift in time and space, then since she was able to escape from this disaster with the power of the miracle badge, everything that happened after that was orderly and step by step.When she left that weird watch shop a few months ago, she thought she could get away from the unimaginable strangeness, but she didn't know that the curtain had already been drawn, the set was ready, and the invisible script was already pushing her to step on the journey slowly. The stage that uses everyday life as a cover.

"Do you regret it?" Xu Shi caught some clues from her changing expression, Hualamon couldn't help asking again, but this time the tone was completely different from the last time.

"I know what I'm doing, that's enough." Zi replied with the same sentence, and then asked, "What about you? As far as I know, the name 'Ceres' belongs to the ten gods in Roman mythology." One of the two main gods." According to the naming habits of Digimon, she had a vague guess of what kind of power was abandoned by Hualamon. Compared with the titles of "Shenming" and "Fanchang", the level of status is self-evident.

She thought that with Huala Beast's temperament, she would complain and protest to her by saying "don't say something I don't understand", but she didn't expect that flower to shift her eyes unnaturally.Several times he hesitated to speak.But after a while, she turned her head angrily as if remembering something, "Hey, are you disliking me for being too weak now?!"

Violet pursed her lips.Know that worry and gloom are not for her at all.

"correct……"

When she was about to ask Hualamon for another guess of her own, the half body of Hualamon on the screen was suddenly replaced by the image of a molecular beast mechanical capsule, "Miss Zi, we have encountered some troubles." It was still mechanically synthesized There is a weird and angular accent in pronunciation, but the meaning expressed in the sentence is completely opposite to the dullness of the tone.

Zi suddenly felt her heart tighten, "What's wrong?" She subconsciously asked.

"In short, it is a defensive self-destruct procedure." Knowing too professional vocabulary will only confuse her, so Molecule Beast chose the simplest and most popular way to explain to her, "After Lord Selene gave her The cracking program does not contain part of the code that can crack this program. With my ability, I can't do anything about it."

"Eh?" Zi looked at it blankly, "But..."

"But," Molecule Beast continued without waiting for Zi to finish speaking, "Inside your XrosLoader, I found the same fragment as this defense program. In other words, this should be a program that you are very familiar with." That's right."

After finishing speaking, Molecule Beast seemed to press the button to activate a hidden mechanism.Hearing the rumbling sound of the machinery running behind him, Zi habitually turned his head to look backward.

It turned out that the room was not a semicircle, but a complete circle was divided into two by a wall.Now Molecule Beast has released one of the restrictions between the two spaces, and through the transparent barrier, it can have a panoramic view of the other half of the room at a glance: in comparison, the space on the other side is much empty, There are no bulky and bulky machines, and no piles of wires... Only Yuuichi is standing in the other room, looking at her with a little bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Little... purple?"

He looked the same as before, except—

Zi's ​​pupils tightened suddenly, and she stared at Yuu's chest in disbelief.Right there, corresponding to the heart, a lily whose petals were dyed pure black was blooming brilliantly.

This is what Molecular Beast calls a defensive self-destruct program.

"How could it be..." Zi unconsciously raised her hand to caress where the petals were, but when she approached, her fingertips hit the invisible barrier between the two, "How could it become so?"

Did the Crystal Boundary Beast notice her movements?

No, if the Crystal World Beast had already noticed her existence sneaking into the core area, then it would definitely directly erase her data without using such a roundabout way.That being the case, there is another possibility: this is the most effective protective measure added by Crystal World Beast to this piece of core data, which makes Yu the last shield to protect this piece of data. If Rene's request comes here, then when the ignorant Ji uses the warrior snatcher to pierce the core of the crystal world beast, the existence named "Amano Yu" will disappear together with that data. Two clean.

"Despicable guy..." Zi's hand pressed against the barrier slowly clenched into a fist, "Despicable guy!"

All her calmness and self-control were thrown out of the sky by her. Once she thought that the worst possibility was about to happen, she couldn't contain the trembling all over her body, but she didn't know how to vent the anger born of fear.

"Xiao Zi." The boy's palm pressed against the opposite side where her fist touched, comforting her silently through the transparent barrier.Just seeing the black flower blooming on his heart that seemed familiar, Yuu roughly guessed the current situation he was in, "I'm fine, please calm down first."

The gentleness that would make her feel at ease in the past, now makes her throat sore, "Calm down?" Zi shook her head blankly, "I can't do it because I don't know what to do..." It's not that she has encountered falling into a trap in the past. Never in a desperate situation did she panic like this.

"But I know."

Zi suddenly raised his head, "Really, really?"

"En." Yu showed a wry smile on his lips, lowered his eyes, and stroked the lily's soft petals with his fingertips, "Being trapped by the program I wrote, I probably deserve it."

The black lily bloomed silently on the tip of his heart.

Sitting on the ground.He thought about the procedure for a long time, and suddenly he caught sight of Zi's expression leaning against the transparent barrier from the corner of his eye.After hesitating to speak for a few times, she clearly expressed worry and anxiety on her face, which is unimaginable. In other people's descriptions, she usually looks arrogant and indifferent.

He couldn't help smiling.It was around this moment that he made up his mind to make a choice.

"It's such a time, what are you still laughing at?" The leisurely look made Zi a little annoyed.

"Xiao Zi," Unexpectedly, Yuu's voice was tinged with a pleasant smile, "If you can't calm down as soon as possible, you won't be able to help me break this program."

Most of the haze that was still lingering on her face a moment ago dissipated immediately, "That means... can you do it?" Afraid that the method he thought of was another possibility that she was afraid of, Zi immediately added a sentence , "I mean, a way to undo this program without hurting yourself!"

"When I was writing this program, I deliberately left a loophole." Speaking of this, Yuu held the corner of his mouth bitterly. "Although it is nominally a war game where I bet my life with senior Daqi, I still can't help but think that there is probably no need to be so decisive, so I reserved a 'back door' in the program, that is, Two black and white castles in the shape of chess. Unfortunately..."

It's a pity that the Dark Knight Beast preempted it, and it used the power of the Raksha Beast to blow up one of the two castles, completely cutting off the arrangements he had made regarding the retreat.And everything that happened after that became a terrible scar, indelible, and will stubbornly remain on his heart forever, "Fortunately, the only ability of the crystal world beast is to copy." For him, it has become a thing of the past, and now he—even in the posture of a distressed prisoner—at least has the ability to protect her, "It completely copied all parts of the program, including the one I deliberately set. that part of the

"That is to say," Zi followed his explanation and completed the last half of the conclusion, "as long as you start from the loopholes, you can crack this program." Only then did she belatedly recall what Yu said at the beginning The words, "But, should I do it?"

"This is the best choice." Yu replied, "Now I can't operate it myself, and Xiaozi just needs to follow my instructions. Even if you encounter problems, Molecule Beast will help you, right? ?” Provoking an ending sound that symbolized a rhetorical question, his eyes turned to the machine-shaped Digimon that appeared on the circular translucent screen.

The pair of eyes that were exposed after the shell of the molecular beast was broken, which looked like light bulbs, kept flashing with different colors of light.It is clearly a mechanized creation with a whole body, and the eyes it looks at You Shi are actually a bit more humane and meaningful.

Purple doesn't know anything about computer programs, but it doesn't.But for the concealed test question, from its standpoint, it has to agree with this presumptuous answer.

As a result, Molecule Beast's light yellow indicator light in the right eye flickered several times and then went out completely, "Leave it to me, please."

The assurance from Molecule Beast reassured Zi a little, "Okay, I understand." She turned back to the keyboard and clenched her ten fingers, and did not ask until the trembling of her hands subsided a little. "Hey, Yuu, I'm ready, what should I do?"

"Well... First of all," came a young man's soft voice from behind her, "Xiao Zi, I like you the most."

At that moment, accompanied by the curse-like words, the chime composed of heartbeats kept making circles and ripples in Zi's brain.Clenching the fingers that almost pressed the wrong button, the scorching heat on her cheeks with Hongxia made her subconsciously want to blame him for this untimely confession.

However, she should have told him earlier that the answer she had been thinking about for a long time——

"Yes, me too."

The author has something to say:

This is the first time that the number of words has decreased after the revision (laughs.

At that time, I thought of three options for this scene. I originally wanted to get Longma out, but I always felt that something was wrong, and it ended up like this... It still feels wrong, but I couldn’t think of a better way, so it was like this (x In addition, I showed this article to my friend, and then persuaded her to make up DXW, but she reminded me to update it every day, which made my conscience feel very sorry when I was in the Calvin period.
