Chapter VII

Previous Chapter

Not being able to detect the arrival of the Ghost Beast was a logical surprise for Barumon. Although in the eyes of Mimi and Koko, it is just a strange creature with a bloody mouth draped in a white cloth, but the essence of the Onimon is indeed a ghost, and it is true that both humans and Digimon can see it clearly, but not necessarily for plants.

Compared to the Fierce Ghost Beast, the Centaur Beast with a larger entity was discovered by Barumon as soon as it appeared, and told the information to Mimi and Xiaoguang.

When asked for the exact location, Barumon pondered for a few seconds, then reached out and pointed.

"In this direction...... About five or six hundred meters away, centaurs and beasts were looking for food. It's really tall, and there are three of me...... No, there could be four. ”

Four Barumons? When I first heard it, I didn't think much of it, but after thinking about it a little, Meimei was surprised, the vertical length is always more surprising than the horizontal one, and even though it is placed under the feet, it is only a distance that can be walked within ten steps, and it is really uninteresting to look at, but once it is erected, the height will have an impressive sense of reality.

"Hey, Ghost Beast, you're mature too, aren't you? Do you know that guy called Centaur? How do you think it compares to you? ”

If you've encountered a very weak Maturity Digimon, you might be able to encounter a second one. With this in mind, Meimei asked the fierce ghost beast on the side.

“…… Probably about the same as me, let's have a draw! ”

After a moment of silence, the fierce ghost beast said decisively.

"Tell the truth."

Mimi just stared at the Ghost Beast.

One second, two seconds, three seconds. The beast bowed its head in despair.

"Well, it's going to kill me just once. It won't even take a second. ”

"You're both mature, don't you have any friendship with each other? How about I take you with me then? Can you help me persuade me? Meimei guessed.

Onimon shook his head vigorously, "How can there be any friendship, like a Digimon with a full sense of justice like Centaur and a guy like me, he will instinctively attack at the first moment." ”

"Very good, then I'm going to bring you with me, if you encounter a situation where you have to fight, throw the fierce ghost beast over, at least you can buy time to escape." Meimei said.

Barumon nodded, because Meimei said that she was going to protect Jia'er, so even she had an inexplicable sense of mission. "I know, if the centaurs are going to fight, we're going to throw the beasts over." If the centaurs are going to fight, we're going to ......."

Just kidding. Meimei sighed weakly, and when she looked back at the beast, she found that this mature beast was far away from her unconsciously, trembling in the corner, looking at herself with big eyes in horror and fear, like the protagonist of the school bullying incident that she often saw on TV.

After all, if you want the ghost beast to play a role, you must be dreaming. If you really want to think of a good way to ensure your own safety and communicate with the centaurs, the first step should actually be to treat the ghost beast as if it didn't exist, and don't assign it any tasks, so that at least it won't cause chaos.

"Ah, by the way, the Seed Beast is here. Is that okay? ”

After a while, Meimei seemed to think of something. She stopped scaring the beasts, and found Barumon to whisper, got the "doable" answer, and sat down with Barummon. One man and one beast worked hard, you and I talked one by one.

During the whole process, Xiaoguang has been squatting down by the lake on the side to watch something, looking serious and quiet.

In fact, after Meimei said before, "Leave the matter of persuading people and beasts to Miss Ben", Xiaoguang acted as a foil intentionally or unintentionally. Even after learning that his body was going to get hurt, he didn't say anything in favor or opposition to moving on, but neither Mimi nor Barumon Fierce Onimon was aware of this.

Both the Agumon and the Ghost Beast looked at Mimi and Barumon with inexplicable expressions on their faces. The Fierce Ghost Beast came over and asked what was going on with the Yagumon, and the Yagumon spread out his hands with a face of "I don't even know this, you are almost a waste beast", and after driving away the Fierce Ghost Beast, he ran to Xiaoguang in a hurry.

"I guess it's the ability to manipulate plants with seed beasts, and although it's weak to manipulate plants in battle, it's easy to write. The reason why they are talking is also because they are constantly translating our human earth into digital text, and they are communicating with humans, centaurs and beasts in real time, so there is no need to disturb them. Kindness...... What happened to you? ”

Agumon shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think Xiaoguang is so powerful." ”

There was no direct contact, but instead he let Barumon use the vines to leave a digital mark that the centaur could understand, and put it on the way back of the centaur beast. Meimei was able to negotiate a way to contact Barumon in a short period of time, which can be said to be quite clever.

But Xiaoguang could see at a glance what they were doing now, either in a moment's thought, or they had already thought about what to do but didn't say it. Either way, it's amazing.

“…… Terrible? What does it mean to be awesome? Is it simply the power of power, or can you do whatever you want? But neither the former nor the latter is for me. ”

The large number of questions thrown by Xiaoguang made the Agumon dizzy, and it said with a bitter face, "Xiaoguang, you can always say things that I don't understand, you really know a lot." ”

"Knowledge is actually part of memory. Records are refreshed, but memories are not. This may be the special memory itself, but it may also be proof that my memory is stored outside of this world. The light made the Agumon reach out its claws, then dipped its fingers in the water, drawing a symbol like the sun in the palm of its hand.

Of course, Agumon couldn't understand that in the world over there, this was a totem called the Badge of Courage. It is also an evolutionary promoter of the subgumon series. Now, however, nothing had happened to it except to make the palms of the Agumon feel warm.

"Symbols are not given meaning as if they were meaningless." Agumon listened to Hikari say strange words that it couldn't understand, and watched as the water stains on his hands disappeared little by little after the "state refresh". Although there is no physical process of "evaporation", it is not surprising for Digimon that the water is sun-dried or air-dried.

"I don't know what it is, but I always feel so warm." Even with the Agumon, the memories don't seem to fade with refreshment. It couldn't tell whether it was the warmth it felt, the temperature of Xiaoguang's fingertips, or something else. In the final analysis, warmth is a very ambiguous word, and even human beings with rich emotions are difficult to say clearly the scale of this.

The penpal-style exchange between the diplomatic team led by the United States and the Centaur lasted for most of the day. Originally, in fact, at the beginning, the centaur beast had already agreed to meet and communicate officially, but perhaps because of the small light, it was rare for a person like Meimei to be cautious, until the other party's reason and position were really determined, Meimei generously appeared in front of the centaur and beast with a group of people.

"Really human?"

The centaur was very surprised, it wore an iron helmet on its head, revealing a T-shape, but the inside was previously pitch black. Meimei guessed that this helmet might mean that this guy was a Greek "person", although on the surface Meimei was the kind of girl who was simple and superficial, but in fact she was warm and generous, liked to deal with many different people, and learned a little bit about all kinds of knowledge.

Although Barumon and Agumon have said that Centaur is a very proud Digimon, when they actually see Mimi, they are very respectful. This made Meimei a little confused, but when she turned her head and saw Xiaoguang's calm face, she puffed up a little, at least pretending not to be in a hurry.

Under the leadership of the centaur beast, everyone came to the ancient realm of Daiino. Along the way, the centaur recounts what it knows as the "Chosen Child", which is not an innate memory like Agumon or Barumon, but is derived from "ancient legends".

When the world plunges into darkness, the chosen child will appear to save the world. Meimei thinks that the voice of the centaur beast is similar to her homeroom teacher, but fortunately, the content is more interesting than arithmetic, so she neither falls asleep nor yawns, but on the other hand, she is also a little nervous, can she really save the world?

Obviously, there was no doubt before, but when she heard the four words "Meimei-sama" recited by the people and beasts, Taidaochuan Meimei realized a heavy sense called responsibility.

"Could it be some kind of oolong incident?" She asked Xiaoguang quietly, "It's the kind of person who actually says to the person on your left, 'Did you see that last night?', but you take it all at once, 'I've seen it, I've seen it', and then the two people who were talking to you are staring at you...... Hey, it's embarrassing. ”

Xiao Guang said, "Then ask a little more clearly." ”

"Uh...... Oh. ”

What if you ask clearly? Will this polite centaur attack us in anger?

It's good to turn around in her mind about this kind of bottomless question, Meimei doesn't have the face to be coquettish in front of a girl younger than herself, all she can do now is to muster up courage.

In the face of Mimi's side knock, the centaur replied patiently, "If it's really easy to determine your identity, ask your respective partner Digimon, do they have a memory that 'they must rely on digital machines to evolve'?" ”

"Digital machine?" Oh, by the way, Barumon said that. Meimei blinked and looked at Barumon.

"Well, I do have such memories. But with Meimei so far, I've only evolved once......"

It seemed to think it was its fault, and it blinked its eyes as if it was about to cry.

However, after being attacked by the Gugamon, the digital machine fell in an unknown part of the forest...... Will it understand this? Meimei was a little worried, she quietly glanced at the centaur beast, wondering if if this big guy would tear everyone apart at once if she told the truth.

It's better to keep it hidden.

"But on the other hand, what did you rely on for your evolution?" Because of her weak heart, Meimei didn't dare to ask the centaur beast, but turned her head to look at the fierce ghost beast.

Because it was said when it was communicated in text, the fierce ghost beast was not attacked by the centaur beast, but probably because of the same weakness of heart as Meimei, the fierce ghost beast did not speak after the centaur beast appeared, and it was cringe.

"Ah...... Well, I was too lazy to eat, so I produced some computer viruses and evolved into a fierce ghost. ”

At the mention of this problem, the Fierce Ghost Beast looked sad, "When I was a candle beast in the past, if I had worked harder and learned some magic, I would be a wizard beast now." If I had a more sunny personality, fought more, and were good at using the flame of the candlemon, I could have evolved into a majestic flame beast. ”

Not...... Probably a bad boy who went astray. Meimei set the nature of the fierce ghost beast, then thought about it, and added a few more modifications.

It's because he's lazy and goes astray that he is a bad boy with waste wood.

Centaur seemed to have similar thoughts to Mimi, and after listening to what Onimon had said, it spoke contemptuously, "Digimon like this will be consumed by darkness sooner or later. And I'm different......"

In fact, the centaur beast scared Meimei as soon as she opened her mouth, and thought she had seen through something, but she didn't expect that such a powerful-looking guy actually wanted to show off himself, and said a lot of spiritual experience, Meimei couldn't understand this kind of thing at all.

In the end, she asked the centaur beast to find food, wanting to discuss it with Xiaoguang in a short time.

Although according to common sense, the centaur beast should help her find a digital machine, but Meimei is not sure, after all, there are some things that are true, but you still have to be cautious when you really face it.

Eun, Meimei feels like she's become an adult.

At this time, the importance of Balu Beast is reflected, and everyone's discussion will never be heard by Centaur Beast. Because after the centaur comes in, it will only see the two people who have noticed everything in advance.

"Hikaru is such a terrible experience...... What's next? ”

"Don't worry, Centaur is a kind and upright Digimon, and even if Mimi and Hikari lose their Digimon, it won't hurt us."

Agumon said confidently as he spoke.

Meimei replied angrily, "Where are you so sure?" ”

This was just a casual question, because this guy was already as confident as a mystery in many things. But Meimei really didn't expect that this question would also raise some eyebrows.

As if remembering why he was so sure, the Agumon didn't have time to answer at the first time, but scratched his head.

"Uh...... It's hard for me to answer that. Because I just know that, Centaur is kind and upright, and it's a trustworthy and righteous Digimon, and I'll know it as soon as it evolves. ”

"Yes, yes, it's like the Ghost Beast knows that the Centaur Beast will kill it, right? Anyway, it's such a strange world, so I can accept this strange setting. ”

Meimei said as she looked at the fierce ghost beast.

But the fierce ghost beast showed a blank expression, "No...... Not really. ”

"The reason why I knew that Centaur would kill evil Digimon was because of rumors, and I heard from other Digimon. I didn't even know how to use my new body after I evolved, and it took me a long time to get used to it...... Hey, what you say, what I said is true. ”

Meimei and Xiaoguang glanced at each other, revealing a strange look.

After repeated questioning, it seems that the "interface" of Agumon and Barumon is also different from the "Digimon Vision" possessed by Onimon. According to Meimei's game experience, it's more like a "self-contained development system" that the protagonist of a certain type of game has. Not only can you use a new body and tricks immediately after evolution, so you don't have to adapt to it at all, and you can also consult a lot of counseling without a teacher, which is not something that you should have in the general growth period at all.

After the centaur returns, Meimei decides to take a risk. She found the centaur beast and asked about it, and the information she got was the same as that of the ghost beast. Seedmon and Ballmon are special, and Meimei has such a concept. Correspondingly, the answer "whether or not I am the chosen child", which was originally a positive result, has now become vague and unstable.

Because Mimi didn't reveal the fact that she didn't have a digital machine when she asked, the centaur beast was even more convinced of the identities of the two girls after learning about the special features of Agumon and Barumon.

"So...... You are indeed the chosen children. ”

Is that really the case? Meimei thought worriedly.
