Chapter 57: The Truth About the Other Half

"So, this is the truth that Mr. Kamijo lost his life because he saved you, right?"

Ryder looked at Chishi calmly.

Ten years ago, he and Hedilummon, who had lived briefly in the Founding Village, were guided by Digimon to find the explorers trapped in Overlook. At that time, it was a happy thing to be reunited with my mother, but out of fear for my father. At Ryder's wayward request, he and everyone go on to find his father and Tomoshi Kamijo and Tomoshi Osawa.

Thankfully, my father was fine. Until the end, what appeared in front of everyone was a terrified Tomo-shi. As for the back, it is just his words of remorse, and the truth that he knows that his friend lost his life for protecting him. By the time everyone arrived at that place, there was nothing left, whether it was the corpse of Kamijokai or the dangerous dragon-like Digimon, and there was only a large pool of blood on the ground that belonged to humans.

"Even if you hate me, I won't complain. Because I am the culprit who killed your father"

Chishi's voice was very calm.

"Uncle"

When Kaye learns the truth, his mind is in a state of flux.

His father died in an accident in the digital world, and this accident was to save his friends. My father was a great man, and Kaye was always proud of him. Even such an 'accident' is common sense for the deceased father. But

His father's death was indeed caused by Chishi, if Chishi hadn't had a sudden nervous breakdown at that time and hadn't left his father and fled. Father must still be saved. But Kaye himself is not qualified to judge others for fear of the unknown horror of existence and death. Even if he knew the truth, Kaye didn't resent Chishi, but he was very sad in his heart.

But Kaye always believed that his father's choice was not wrong. Father will not die without help

"I don't resent my uncle, because my father has always worked hard to protect the people around him, and my uncle is my father's friend, and of course my father will not leave his friends behind."

"Of course, I'm still sad but I'm also proud of my father"

"Kamijo-kun"

There was a slight surprise on Tomoshi's face.

"Dad has always felt guilty because of the death of his friend, so my mother, who was the first to be abandoned in order to survive, Dad is actually guilty, right?"

At this time, Yabei suddenly spoke.

"Even so, I understand my father's feelings. In the face of a terrible existence, it is also a normal reaction to run away from something. ”

Why do you always feel ashamed of your dead friends? And how little is missed for his wife?

The dusty memory is slowly retrieved, and Yabei has always understood. When he was very young, Yabei was vaguely aware of the relationship between his parents, but he had always been a fool and didn't care

Friends are more important than wives. What's more, before the death of my mother, the bond between husband and wife has long reached the end

Yabei, who has always looked like a fool on the surface, actually knows his father better than anyone else. My instincts are never wrong.

"Are you alright?"

Feeling that Yabei was a little strange, Ryder cared.

"It's okay, it's okay~~"

Yabei showed his usual smile, and his voice was full of energy.

"The vampire monster deliberately broke out of Daddy's black history, of course, in order to make everyone guilty, it's a pity~~ We're not so weak! Kaye, a good old man, doesn't hold a grudge against his father! ”

"Yabei"

Kaye didn't know how to speak, but he immediately realized that the smile was fake. If you look closely, your eyes are as blank as glass beads, and there is always something uncoordinated in your movements.

"Hey, is this your normal you?"

Even the new demon beast sensed that something was wrong with his partner.

"It seems that it has been triggered by negative emotions."

The Enchantress sensed the negative fluctuations of Yabei.

"Kaye, what's wrong with Yabei?"

The multi-way tyrannosaurus felt that the subnorthern was weird, but it didn't know how to describe it.

"Everyone, why are you looking at me like that? I'm normal! ”

Yabei said in a big way.

"Daddy, Ryder! Hurry up and decide what to do with the vampire beasts, if you continue to stand stupidly, you will still be caught by the vampire beasts and used for their weaknesses! ”

"I feel like vampire beasts will peek into other people's inner weaknesses, and that's terrible!"

"For you, I don't need to peek inside at all."

The Vampire Beast changed its silence and replied in a calm voice. He stared into Abei's godless eyes, then turned to Ryder.

"I guess you're more interested in the people behind the intruders who instructed them to kill in the digital world five years ago, right?"

"The human male is the puppeteer. You've already noticed, Ryder. Arnoor. ”

"I'm not in a position to make decisions without evidence."

Ryder replied with a pretended lightheartedness, his red eyes staring coldly at the vampire beast. When the other party said his full name, he realized in his heart that the vampire monster was targeting him this time. What is the reason for this? Or rather

(Because does it have anything to do with 'her?') ）

As for not telling Kaye and Yabei about his suspicions about Zhishi, on the one hand, he did not have enough evidence, and on the other hand, he also took into account Yabei's feelings.

"Wait! What the hell is going on!? Uncle was behind the invasion of the digital world five years ago? Ryder, you've always known that?! ”

Kaye asked Ryder with a flustered expression, the 'human male' that the vampire beast said was referring to his uncle, but Ryder's answer completely showed that he actually knew.

"It's absolutely impossible! Uncle, that's not true, is it? ”

“”

Zhishi was silent, and there was no need to answer. Because, the vampire monster was the one who experienced it five years ago, and he was almost killed by him.

"First the weakness of the past, then the people behind the invasion of the digital world. Dad, how many things are you still hiding? ”

In the face of Yabei's questioning, Zhishi still didn't say a word.

"Five years ago, due to the sudden invasion of humans in the Abyssal Forest and the Terminus of the Forest, a large number of Digimon were brutally killed and their Digicores destroyed."

The vampire beast stared at everyone with a blank face, telling another truth.

Indeed, it is the law of this world that the law of the jungle is the strong, and the strong have the right to control the life and death of the weak. But my territory will never be invaded by humans. ”

※※※※※

Five years ago, the digital world --

The Abyssal Forest, as the territory of the vampire beasts, is always night, and the entire forest is filled with the breath of death and darkness.

In the mist, a spider beast is preying on a garchimon. The Agalimon panted and fled, and the speed of the spider beast behind it became faster and faster, and the distance between it and the Agagemon gradually shortened.

After running wildly for dozens of minutes, the garments were exhausted, and their legs were as if they had been filled with lead, and they could no longer move. So, in the end, it simply stopped, waiting for the spidermon to arrive behind it.

"I'm going to be eaten"

The garzmon sighed, closed its eyes and waited for death to come.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and a violent wind began to blow all around. Immediately afterward, the surrounding space began to distort, and several vortices appeared from above.

"What's going on!"

The Kazhimon looked at the whirlpool in panic, and the spidermon that had been preying on its prey also looked at the same place as its prey.

In the whirlpool, a strange machine with only a purple body flew out of the whirlpool. Subsequently, several heavily armed and weapon-armed humans emerged from the vortex.

"Z!"

A kizzamon flew over and aimed its golden eyeball at the spidermon's forehead and shot a beam of light capable of destroying data, causing the spidermon to collapse into data, and finally even the digital egg turned into data and disappeared.

"Ahh

Garramon's eyes widened, completely unaware that Spidermon was instantly wiped out by a strange Digimon, leaving no DigiEgg behind. Fear arose in its mind, the destruction of the Digicore was the most terrible thing than death, which meant that it could not be reborn as a Digi egg after death.

While they didn't notice themselves, the Extra Beast slowly crawled towards the lush grass, hoping to hide itself from the grass.

A human voice came from behind, and the garzmon was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned its head.

The kizzmon had already appeared behind it, its golden eyes staring at it without any emotion. At the direction of a human behind it, Kizzmon's eyes were aimed at the Garzmon's chest and a laser was fired.

“！”

Before it could scream, the Grubikon vanished into data in despair.

After mercilessly destroying the two Digimon, several humans and Kizumon continue to hunt Digimon in the forest.

The forest is on fire, and armed humans are brutally slaughtering their infant Digimon, raining down bullets relentlessly on their bodies. And the Kizzmon didn't spare any Digimon and destroyed them.

At the junction of the Abyssal Forest and the Forest Terminus, you can clearly hear the screams of the Digimon one after another. Of course, the new species of demonic beast guarding the junction did not panic because of this, but reacted quickly.

After sending a ghost beast to report to the Night Lord who was sleeping in the coffin, a new species of demonmon and a few evil drakemons dealt with the kizzy beasts.

Kitzmon, a mysterious Digimon with terrifying lethality, is more powerful than the average full-fledged body. Any Digimon that is attacked by its rays will have their data instantly corrupted and completely disappear.

The drakemons were red-eyed in this battle, and the brutal cruelty of their enemies sparked their anger and fighting spirit, but also allowed them to fully exert their strength. However, until Kizmon destroys the light, any attack is like a void.

It didn't take long for the Evil Dragons to be almost wiped out. Under the frantic attack of the new demon beast as a complete body, several Kizz beasts were destroyed. At the moment, it was also seriously injured.

"Bastard I don't want to die yet"

Faced with the remaining Kizzmon, the new demon beast that knew it was at a disadvantage fled the junction alone with the last of its subordinates as a shield.

Once the new species of demonmon guarding the junction leaves, the weak Digimon that inhabit it lose their chance to survive and become the next targets to be eliminated.

The life of the strong is important, who cares about the life or death of the weak? Only the hypocrites on the other side would. But it didn't matter anymore, even if it was against the Night Lord's orders. After all, it's all about staying alive on your own.

Meanwhile, on a hillside far from the junction, a dark-haired man in a white lab coat research coat stares at the burning forest, listening to the screams of the Digimon with a twisted smile on his face.

"Look, the power of the human is Ahai who can destroy Digimon, and I'm avenging you"

At this moment, the voice of a mercenary was heard over the communicator.

"Send the third squad to support."

"Digimon will only bring disaster to humanity, and they must be eradicated"

There was a heart-rending scream over the communicator, and although I didn't see what was happening, I heard the crushing scream. Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can understand that those humans were brutally killed.

"What's going on! Feed!! ”

With the psychology of luck, Zhishi called to the communicator nervously, but the communicator was busy.

"Squeak-"

Similar to a mouse, but a very sharp voice came inexplicably. Suddenly, countless bats flew over. Immediately afterward, the bats gathered together and turned into a human figure.

"Are you the one behind the order for the invaders to attack the Abyssal Forest? Stupid humans. ”

A cold voice with a slight anger pierced Zhishi's ears. In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Tomoshi watched as the swarm of bats began to disappear, only to see a vampire-like Digimon dressed in aristocratic costumes and wearing a red mask appear in front of him.

When he saw the Digimon, he looked terrified. The muscles of his face twitched, and beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead. Trembling slightly in the powerful deterrent.

"Stupid? I'm thinking about the safety of the human world! Digimon can only bring disaster to humanity! ”

Although the appearance of the vampire monster made it timid, Tomoshi did not give in to this sense of oppression, and glared at the vampire beast.

"Hmph, sinners who have violated my land, do not think that you will die a peaceful death. Even if an iron spear pierces every part of your body and drains every drop of blood from your body, it will not alleviate your sins. ”

Calm words, but with a shuddering rage.

"Kiezmon! Destroy him! ”

Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhishi hurriedly ordered the two Kizz Beasts around him who were responsible for protecting him to eliminate the vampire demonic beasts.

"Z-"

The two Kizzmon that obeyed his orders operated their wings and spun rapidly, forming a tornado towards the vampire beasts.

"Death Scream!"

Seeing that the Kizzmon was rapidly approaching him, the vampire beast summoned the dark magic around it, released an infinite bat-like shadow from its cloak, and attacked the two Kizzmon violently.

Under the influence of the Shadow of Darkness, the two Kizzmon immediately turned gray, and their bodies lost their mobility due to petrification. Just after Kizzmon was petrified, the vampire beast drew blood-red blood whips from each of its hands, shattering Kizzmon's eyeballs.

"All the staff retreat immediately! Get out of the digital world! ”

While Kizmon was defeated by the Vampire Beast, Chishi had already used the communicator to order the others to leave the Digital World immediately. He then quickly took out the space-time concussion bomb and threw it out.

Seeing that the culprit wanted to escape, the vampire beast prepared to release a large number of bats from its cloak and attacked the human.

In the next instant, the orb emitted a blinding white light.

"Huh!?"

The superior eyesight that you possess as a vampire Digimon is self-defeating. The light of the sun burned the optic nerve, and the vampire beast had to give up releasing the bat and cover its eyes with a cloak.

Under the white light, a whirlpool formed in front of Chishi, and in an instant, he jumped into the whirlpool and escaped from the digital world.

※※※※※

"Why did Uncle do such an excessive thing!?"

After learning the full truth about five years ago, Kaye confronts Chishi about the deterioration of humanity's relationship with Digimon because of the disaster he brought to the Digital World five years ago. Because of this extreme behavior, Digimon hate humans.

"Even if it's a dead father, you don't want humans to turn against Digimon!"

"Uejo-kun, the reality is even more cruel than you imagined."

Tomoshi shook his head regretfully.

"On the surface, Digimon don't conflict with humans. But is that really the case? In the past ten years, there has been a lot of chaos caused by the appearance of Digimon in the human world, and DHT has indeed played a big role. ”

"No matter how hard you try, you can't change the fact that Digimon threaten humanity! As long as those ferocious beasts exist, innocent people will still be sacrificed! Digimon are the enemies of humanity! ”

"That's not the case!!"

The cry of denial did not come from humans, but from multi-way tyrannosaurmons.

"Digimon are not enemies of humans! Humans and Digimon can coexist peacefully! I've always lived with Kaye and the rest of you, and we're all gentle people. Even if there is an occasional quarrel, Digimon or Humans! It is possible to coexist peacefully! ”

"Multi-Way Tyrannosaurusmon"

Kaye looked at his partner unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that it was the multi-way tyrannosaurmon that negated Zhishi's extreme words and spoke his heart.

"Yes, uncle, your opinion is wrong. Humans and Digimon can coexist peacefully. ”

"Your father was killed by Digimon, but despite this, you still think that Digimon and humans can coexist peacefully? Digimon are extremely unstable beings, and if they are affected, they will immediately turn into bloodthirsty beasts. ”

"Hey! There should be a degree of prejudice! Say something about it! Hello"

The new species of demon beast was very unhappy with Zhishi's words, and she was expecting Yabei to say something, but she didn't say a word. This makes it unpleasant.

"But the Digimon in front of you is also the culprit that has brought disaster to the human world."

Staring at the vampire demonic beast, Zhishi's eyes revealed a hint of cruelty.

"For the safety of the human world. At the very least, it's time to execute the vampire beasts. ”

"But"

Kaye was still hesitant, and Ryder just looked at Chishi coldly and didn't make any comments.

"There's no need to listen to him, Kaye."

Yabei, who was originally speechless, spoke at this time.

"It's brazen enough that Mom and Kaye's Dad both died because of your weakness and blamed all the blame on Digimon. The reason why you want to execute the vampire beast is because you want to continue to conceal your crimes. ”

"What did you say?!"

"Of course I do! Only I know you better, Daddy! Actually, you've long thought that the vampire monster will tell you about your crimes, and we won't kill him, right? So, you must have brought Kizmon with you! After getting rid of the vampire monsters, I want to erase our current memories! Less to hide! I said my instincts can't go wrong! ”

Yabei shouted at Zhishi emotionally.

"I've also said, 'No matter how hard you try, you can't change the fact that Digimon threaten humans.'" ”

Even if it was the second daughter's loud and angry reprimand, Zhishi's indifferent expression that seemed to be wearing a mask made Yabei disgusted.

"Release the Kizzmon."

Ignoring Yabei no more, Chishi gave instructions to the spies who accompanied him.
