Chapter 39: The charges are cleared and the scene of the execution

"Jade Rabbit Beast, please help us"

The puppy beast looked at the Jade Rabbit with pleading eyes in it.

"Please calm down, are you having a hard time?"

The soft voice of the Jade Rabbit Beast reached the ears of the two, and the original nervous emotions were relieved, making their hearts feel more peaceful.

"Lord Jade Rabbit Beast, in fact, we want to leave the City of Angels and go to another place to live again"

The big-eared beast plucked up the courage to say what it hoped for the puppy.

"Because we don't want to live in the city anymore"

"I understand your feelings."

Without any questioning, the Jade Rabbit Beast smiled gently.

"It's okay, you're all brave kids. So I will grant your wishes."

"Huh?"

The unreasonable request was easily agreed to by the other party, which made the puppy beast and the big-eared beast very stunned.

This is too easy, I thought the Jade Rabbit Beast would hate and be distressed.

"But before that, puppy, can you talk to us alone?"

After a pause, the Jade Rabbit Beast still said to the little dog beast in that gentle voice.

"There's something I want to confirm, okay?"

"Huh?"

Hearing the words of the Jade Rabbit Beast, the little dog beast once again showed a stiff expression.

"What do you want to confirm?"

"Actually, after the statue of the Divine Angel Beast was shattered, someone saw you leave from there. So, I just wanted to confirm. ”

The red eyes of the Jade Rabbit Beast looked at the little dog beast calmly.

"Ah, you don't have to be too nervous. If you don't want to, I won't embarrass you, but because of the statue, some people have been put in prison. I don't think the gargoyle beast can mistake the criminal."

"Then I'll promise you!"

The kind-hearted puppy beast finally agreed to the Jade Rabbit Beast's conditions, and although the statue was not broken by it, it was also at fault. What's more, there are innocent people who have suffered unjustly because of this incident.

"Puppymon! No wow! ”

"I'm sorry! Big-eared beasts! ”

The puppy apologized as it knocked the big-eared beast unconscious.

"Well, even if there's something hard to say, you don't have to."

Seeing that the big-eared beast was knocked unconscious by the puppy beast, the Jade Rabbit Beast said a little embarrassed. Then, it took on a serious expression.

"Little dog, are you really up to it?"

"Well, because it's my fault"

The little dog beast nodded, timidly.

"Lord Jade Rabbit Beast, did you already know that we were prisoners?"

In front of the Jade Rabbit Beast, any lie will be exposed. The little dog beast already knew in his heart that the jade rabbit beast knew the truth.

"Yes"

"We'll be covered"

"It's going to be fine, trust me."

The Jade Rabbit Beast's smile was gentle, but there was a hint of sadness in that smile.

"Maybe you will be wronged"

"Lord Jade Rabbit is really gentle."

There was no more uneasiness, and the little dog beast laughed.

"Actually, I'm scared, but I don't want to implicate innocent people because of our mistakes"

"But can Lord Jade Rabbit promise me one thing?"

"You don't want the big-eared beast to be implicated, do you?"

The Jade Rabbit Beast said softly.

"I'm sorry"

The puppy whispered an apology.

"It's okay, I'm going to make the long nightmare end, I promise"

"Jade Rabbit Beast"

Seeing the Jade Rabbit Beast talking to itself, the little dog beast showed a confused expression.

―1―

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cell, and Kaye stopped telling the uncle next door the story of what happened in the digital world in the past few days.

The Jade Rabbit Beast spoke to the Angel Beast guarding the cell.

"Open the door."

"Yes."

Angelmon took out the key and opened the cell.

"It's finally time to come out."

The Hemdilummon stretched, his expression much lighter.

"I'm very sorry for wronging you before."

Jade Rabbit apologized to everyone.

"No, thank you for always thinking of us, Jade Rabbit."

Kaye thanked him.

"yes, thank you so much, Jade Rabbit."

Finally acquitted, and the multi-way beast is also happy.

"Did you find the prisoner?"

Kaye asked.

"Well, it's the little dog beast who did it, it's already confessed, and it will be executed tomorrow"

At the mention of the prisoner, the Jade Rabbit Beast's eyes were clouded.

"Too good"

Although it was the puppy beast who caused everyone to suffer injustice, Kaye's heart was still very heavy, and it was really cruel to be executed just for breaking the statue.

"That's also its fate, since it was born in the City of Angels, it must follow the rules."

Hedilumon didn't sympathize with the puppy at all, because it had caused him to worry about it for a long time.

"The hypocrite's rules are really troublesome."

"That's right."

As if thinking of something, Kaye looked at the cell next door and said to the Jade Rabbit.

"Jade Rabbit Beast, can you release Mr. Li?"

"I'm sorry I don't have the right to do so"

The Jade Rabbit Beast shook its head regretfully.

"However, after tomorrow, we will send this human back to the human world with you."

"How could it be?"

Mr. Lee could not be released, and Kaye was disappointed.

"Haha, it's okay, young man. Actually, it's pretty good here, right, Guardian Beast? ”

Knowing that the boy was worried about himself, Mr. Li just smiled gently.

"No, ten hours ago, you also complained that the lunch in the prison was not to your taste, and there were no beds to provide rest."

The mechanized voice of the guard beast made Mr. Li a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry too much about this little thing, Guardian Beast."

"Mr. Li really doesn't feel comfortable staying in prison?"

Kaye's expression seemed more worried.

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

Mr. Li smiled lightly.

"Young people, don't underestimate the uncle, even if the environment is bad, the uncle can survive. Hold on until tomorrow and return to the human world with you. ”

"Definitely. After returning to the human world, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a multifaceted examination. Thirty-two hours ago, you said that the prison environment would make you physically uncomfortable. ”

The mechanized voice of the Guardian Beast was heard again.

"Uh, that's really incomprehensible."

Mr. Lee's expression was even more embarrassed.

"Guardian Beast, can you be quiet? It would be embarrassing for me to say this in front of young people."

"Yes."

Following its partner's instructions, the Guardian remained quiet.

"Mr. Li, are you really okay?"

Even the multi-way beast and Kaye looked at Mr. Li with the same expression.

"Haha, I said it was okay, but you should hurry up and go to your companions, they are still very worried about you."

"Well, take care then, Mr. Li."

Kaye nodded, and said in response.

"Thank you for taking care of us all the time."

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Li."

The multi-way beast also said goodbye.

"That Mr. Lee"

Before leaving, the Dark Road Beast walked up to his cell and glanced at Mr. Li with a complicated expression. The voice was very low.

"When I return to the human world, about the incident five years ago"

"I know, I'm going to discuss that with Julia."

Knowing what the Black Diplomon wanted to say, Mr. Li also put away his smile.

"It may have something to do with that person, but you and Ryder still have to take care of those two juniors. Don't let that little girl know about that person."

"It's still too cruel for her after all"

"I'll try my best."

Sighing slightly, the black dilumon agreed to the other party's request.

"Aren't you going to leave with your companions, Hedilumon?"

A gentle voice came from beside him, and the Ledlummon closed its mouth.

It turned its head and saw the Jade Rabbitmon standing behind it, and with a worried expression, it asked the Darklumon who had raised its head.

"Is it that you have been in prison for too long and are a little unwell?"

"I'm fine, I'm just catching up with old acquaintances."

The Hedilummon pretended to be relaxed.

"Alright, bring me to Ryder~"

―3―

After Jade Rabbitmon helps Kaye and the others find the real culprit, Kaye and Dolumon, as well as Hadilummon, who have suffered injustice, are also released. Realizing her mistake, the Divine Maiden also apologized to the guests.

The long night was finally over, and although there was a lot of accidents, it was finally able to be solved smoothly.

All thanks to the help of the Jade Rabbit Beast, it will be so smooth

Of course, except for Ryder's suspicion of it, everyone has a lot of trust in the Jade Rabbit Beast.

Until the next morning, the Divine Maiden had planned to send the guests back to the human world. However, Kaye intends to postpone his return to the human world for a while. Because, this day is the day when the puppy beast was executed, although he did not meet the prisoner who caused everyone to suffer injustice. Kaye felt sympathetic to the prisoner, so at least for the time being he stayed to see for himself whether the alleged execution was really that cruel, if it could be prevented

Thankfully, Kaye wanted to stay for the time being and see the truth about the alleged executions agreed to by Ryder.

It is an amphitheater. The so-called "amphitheater" is a kind of performance venue that is open in the middle and surrounded by circular or oval buildings. In the center of the venue is the place where the performances are performed, and the seats are arranged along the perimeter. Originating in ancient Rome, this building was mainly used for gladiators and other athletic competitions, and some also used for theatrical activities, and the design of the venue became the blueprint for modern stadiums.

The arena was filled with the inhabitants of the City of Angels, and Kaye and the others were also seated.

The atmosphere throughout the arena was filled with fear and unease.

"Kaye, you have a hobby for this, that's a bad thing."

Yabei, who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes at Kaye and said, it is not a happy thing to see the executioners on the spot.

"It's not that you misunderstood, I just"

Kaye, who was misunderstood, hurriedly explained.

"You want to understand the cruel side of the City of Angels, right?"

The demon fox beast's calm voice came, and its blue moment showed a hint of sorrow as it saw that the execution was about to begin.

"Actually, I've known the rules here, but even I don't want to see it."

"Hehe, speaking of which, aren't we, as DHT, also executing Digimon that 'violate the law' because of the laws of the human world? In a way, our behavior is also a radius of eight taels. ”

Ryder laughed to himself.

"This"

Because of Ryder's words, Kaye began to feel guilty.

"Hmph, isn't it just death, anyway, it will be reborn. There's really no point in discussing that. ”

Only the little demon beast will not be infected by the atmosphere, it has an indifferent expression.

"But we also hunted to protect the human world from uncontrolled Digimon."

It wasn't that he didn't feel guilty, and Yabei began to quibble.

"What's more, the baby Digimon that strayed into the human world will not be hunted and will be sent back to the digital world."

"You're really good at quibbling, but I don't want to deny the mistakes I've made."

The Hedilummon glanced at Yabei and looked back into the center of the arena.

"It's really ridiculous to kill each other not to protect and survive, but to execute 'criminals' for violating frivolous laws"

"Hypocrites who killed so-called enemies in the past, and now start executing their own people, are hypocrites, compared to the dark Digimon who died in the war a long time ago. I am afraid that the people who were put to death because of the law were just as dead as they were."

The tone of the Hedilummon was bitter.

"Did the Hemdylummon do something wrong in the past?"

The multi-way beast tilted its head and asked curiously.

"It's a lot, but I don't have anything to regret, you little devil won't understand."

Even if you talk about your past, you will feel like a terrifying Digimon to it.

Thankfully, even knowing his past, Ryder didn't mind. He has always treated himself as a family member, and he has always cherished this happiness

"Whew"

The numbered multi-way beast bowed its head.

"Speaking of which, I didn't see the Jade Rabbit Beast."

Yabei realized that the Jade Rabbit Beast was not there.

"Maybe I didn't come because I didn't want to see the execution anymore"

Kaye replied that the Jade Rabbit was so kind that it would not be willing to go to such a cruel scene.

"Looks like it's about to start."

Ryder reminded his juniors. Soon, the noise that had been heard before had subsided like a low tide, and the Digimon who had been going back and forth on the path hurried back to their seats. At the same time, at the top of the arena, a huge screen began to show images of the audience and the open space in the center of the arena.

In the center of the arena, a round hole begins to open in the ground. Then, a larger birdcage is slowly raised, driven by a lift, with two ends of the cage being a shooter that can only be seen in science fiction movies.

A snow-white puppy beast trembled and curled up in the birdcage with a frightened look.

And the Slash Angel Beast stood in front of the birdcage with a serious face, waiting for the order to execute at any time.

"The eternal guardian of the City of Angels, one of the three major angels, the Divine Celestial Maiden, has arrived!"

At the top of the special seat, the Celestial Maiden appeared and began to ask everyone to be silent. Then bowed respectfully towards the passage to the stateroom.

In the dark shadow, the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast slowly walked to the special seat, she exuded a holy aura all over her body, but the expression under the helmet was so indifferent that it was difficult for people to approach.

When everyone, without exception, stood up together and bowed their heads like the Celestial Maiden, the Divine Maiden Beast nodded lightly and motioned for the people to sit down.

Slashing Angelmon cleared its throat and stared at the little dog beast in the birdcage with a stern expression, and began to interrogate.

"Pupon, you destroyed the Heroic Monument, the Sacred Angelmon Statue. Not only that, but you have even evaded the charges and wronged innocent outsiders. ”

He made a sound like scorching steel.

"Such a stupid act has seriously damaged the image of the City of Angels and caused an extremely bad impact. And the little dog beast not only did not repent, but also planned to escape from the city of angels with sin! ”

"According to the above, it is concluded that the defendant is a puppy beast and will be executed publicly!"

"Woohoo"

The puppy twitched in intense fear, and looked pitiful.

"Blessed are those who die when they are called by righteousness. Rest assured, when you are born again, you will not bear any sin. ”

Slashing Angel Beast exudes due style and pride all over its body, trying to make the prisoner accept his fate with peace of mind, but such words will only cause the opposite effect.

"He's a fanatic, I think I've mistaken the era."

Ryder sighed, Digimon were no less religiously fanatical than humans.

"Hypocrites are like that."

The eyes of the Hedilummon were also full of contempt.

As for the two juniors, they were completely nervous.

"Puppy, what else do you want to say before you get executed?"

Slashing Angelmon asked the prisoner.

"Don't stand it, don't, this kind of thing"

The puppy beast was crying silently.

"I don't want to die!!"

"It's too much"

The puppy's sad cries and cries of pain in the face of death caused a faint anger to rise in Kaye's heart.

"Punish sins!"

Without any mercy, the slashing angel gave the order for the execution.

"Multi-way beast, let's stop it"

"Stop!"

A firm voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Kaye's words, and the ears of everyone who reached them. His eyes were focused on a large-eared beast.

Even the little dogmon with a frightened face was no exception, looking at the big-eared beast that had walked through the main entrance into the middle of the arena.

On the other hand, the big-eared beast seemed to flinch a little when it saw everyone's gaze. Still, it had the courage to run in front of the slashing angel beast.

"Big-eared beast, you can't make trouble at the execution scene!"

Slash Angel Beast scolded it.

"If you don't listen to the advice, you will be punished the same as the prisoner!"

"Then punish me! I'm not afraid of a nasty creature like you! ”

The big-eared beast scolded the other in turn.

"You guy! He openly criticized the judges."

Slashing Angelmon is enraged by the attitude of the Big-Eared Beast.

"Lord Divine Celestial Maiden! Please listen to me."

Ignoring the Inquisitor, the Big-Eared Beast raised its head to look at the Divine Maiden Beast.

"Please cancel the execution of the puppy beast!"

"You guy, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Wait! Slash Angelmon! ”

The Angel Beast was trying to get rid of the little one, but the clear voice suddenly sounded.

At the grand table, the Divine Maiden Beast stood up and looked down at the brave big-eared beast.

"Say everything you want to say."
