Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Search for Truth

"Uncle, why are you in the Digital World!?"

"Kaye, the kind man who helped us is here?"

The multi-way beast was also surprised.

"yes, it's unbelievable"

Kaye nodded.

"This voice can't be Mr. Li Jianyu, right?"

Hearing the voice of the human male next door, the Ledrummon stood up and asked against the wall.

"yes, listen to the voice, you should be Ryder's Leddy Roadmon."

The guy next door smiled.

"Mr. Li Jianyu? Hedy Roadmon, do you and Ryder know him? ”

Kaye asked.

"Of course, Mr. Lee has lived in Japan for nine years and has worked for DHT shortly after its establishment, but he is an excellent person of the same rank as Captain Julia."

The Hedilumon strengthened his tone and explained.

"And, ten years ago, Mr. Lee was part of an expedition to the Digital World."

"Oh~!? Mr. Lee was also part of the expedition."

Kaye was even more surprised when he learned the truth from the Hadilummon.

"Hehe, that's the case, it's been ten years, it's still worth remembering."

Because of the other party's relaxed tone, Kaye reminded of his father again.

"That Mr. Li, do you know my father Shangjohai too?"

"Ah Hai"

At the mention of a friend's name, a slight sigh came from next door.

"Your father was an excellent man, and if it weren't for his encouragement and optimism, it would have been very difficult for anyone to return to the human world at that time. But because of the protection of Daze"

"Osawa?"

Hearing the familiar surname, Kaye was stunned at first.

"Ah, it's just a good friend of your father, don't care."

I almost realized that I had said something wrong, and the other party hurriedly changed the subject.

"Actually, I came to look for you instead of Julia, because in the human world, you can't find your whereabouts, and you have lost contact. So worried. ”

"Because of the pillar of light, our luggage was swept away."

The multi-way beast replied honestly.

"I'm sorry to worry you."

Kaye quickly forgot about the topic and apologized.

"Don't blame yourself too much."

The other party smiled gently.

"Mr. Li, how did you end up in prison?"

To the acquaintance who was locked up next door, the Hedilumon asked politely.

"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"It's a shame to say."

The voice next door is a little embarrassing.

"Not yet. After I went to the Digital World, my partner Guardianmon and I were actually swept by the pillar of light."

"It turns out that the guard beast in the command room is Mr. Li's partner."

The multi-way beast suddenly interjected.

"Don't interrupt!"

The Hedilumon shouted, and the Multi-Beast hurriedly apologized.

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay."

The other party didn't care too much, but his tone revealed helplessness.

"We were swept by the pillar of light, and then we suddenly fell from the air directly to the teleportation array at the end of the forest. After being mistaken for an enemy, he was arrested and imprisoned. But they didn't seem to listen to me, and I was locked up for three days. However, according to the angel beast guarding the prison, because I have not committed any crimes, I should be sent back to the human world tomorrow."

"Speaking of which, how did you end up in prison? Aren't Ryder and the little girl there? ”

When the uncle next door wanted to ask the reason, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the direction of the exit of the corridor in front of the cell. A slightly flirtatious voice answered his question.

"Because he was charged with an inexplicable crime, he was imprisoned as a prisoner."

Ryder, Yabei and the little demon beast walked to the front of the cell, looking at the 'prisoners' in the cell, Ryder smiled helplessly.

"Ryder!"

Seeing his partner appear, the Hemdilumon stepped over to the cell door with a look of joy on his face. Soon, joy turns to loss.

"I'm sorry, Ryder"

Like a little girl who made a mistake, the Hadilumon bowed its head aggrievedly and apologized in a low voice.

"Hedilummon, don't blame yourself too much, I understand your feelings."

Ryder stood across the fence, crouched down, reached out from between the cracks, and stroked the head of the Ledrummon, chuckling, his eyes blaming no reproach.

"You're standing up for the sake of your juniors, because you're not a weak Digimon either. But next time, be sure to calm down. ”

"Yes"

The black dilumon blushed and nodded.

"It's really good to show affection."

Yabei said to Ryder and the Black Devil White-eyed.

After comforting the Leddy Road Beast, Ryder stood up and walked over to Mr. Lee's cell and began to greet him.

"Mr. Li, it's been a long time, thank you for your continued care for us. We've all heard your conversation with Kaye Kaye, and it's really upset that you're looking for us. ”

"You don't have to worry too much about this little thing, of course the children who are friends should care."

Mr. Li smiled, and then glanced at Yabei.

"The little girl is still very energetic."

"Haha, it's okay, I didn't expect my uncle to be a member of DHT."

Yabeigan smiled, then glanced at Ryder.

In fact, she had just learned that the uncle had actually known Ryder and had been part of the expedition in the past. But the Ryder guy didn't tell himself anything.

Ryder just smiled apologetically at Yabeibi's slightly resentful look.

Then continue the conversation with Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li, in fact, we have successfully negotiated with the person in charge here, and the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast has promised us not to continue to interact with the human world."

"Oh oh~~ That's great. Captain Julia will be proud of you~~! ”

Mr. Li praised the three boys and girls.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, in order to find the prisoner as soon as possible and free my companion from it. We need to hurry up and find clues now, and let Ledhemon and Kaye Kaye tell you about what we've been through in the Digital World. ”

Due to the lack of time, Ryder, who wanted to find clues about the prisoner, stopped the conversation with Mr. Lee.

"Thank you for your hard work, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely get through it."

Mr. Lee didn't say anything more, encouraging Ryder. From Ryder's words just now, he already roughly understood that his friend's child and partner had been wronged, so he needed to hurry up and rescue his companion.

"Thank you for your understanding."

After thanking him, Ryder walked over to the prison where Kaye was being held again.

"Kaye, Dormon, can you tell me what happened at the scene of the crime? It's best not to miss any details and think about it carefully. ”

"Okay."

Kaye recalled.

"When I went to the statue memorial area to look for the multi-way beast, I heard the sound of a crash. When I arrived, I saw a shattered statue in front of the multi-road beast."

"How does this explanation feel like you're saying that the multi-way beast is the murderer?"

Kaye's memories were quickly complained about by Yabei.

"Ah, the multi-road beast is not a murderer!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Kaye hurriedly defended the multi-way beast.

"So, multi-way beast, it's your turn."

Ryder didn't show any extra expression on his face, and motioned for the multi-way beast to explain.

"Actually, I'm chasing the Digital Elf"

(Digimon?) ）

At the mention of the Digimon, Ryder and Hadilumon were stunned at the same time, and Yabei and the Monster and Kaye had puzzled expressions.

I wanted to ask what the Digimon were, but I was worried that Hedilumon would be angry, so the three didn't ask.

"But when I got to the statue memorial area, I lost it, and then I suddenly heard a very slight sound. As I followed the sound, I suddenly saw a white shadow flash quickly, in fact, like Kaye, I had just seen the smashed statue when I came over. ”

"White Shadow?"

The first clue was uneventful, and Ryder quickly recorded the information in his head.

"Ryder, Ryder! I know who the prisoner is?! ”

At the mention of the White Shadow, the Black Dillumon had an impatient expression.

"Please."

"Because I was attracted by the noise, when I went to the scene of the crime, a little dog beast left there with a panicked expression and passed by me. That white shadow must be a puppy beast, I guess it's the culprit. ”

The Hedilummon said with a smug expression.

"Cut, and there is no evidence to prove it, but it is so certain."

The words of the little demon beast are undoubtedly pouring cold water.

"Maybe it's someone else."

Yabei and the little demon beast had a completely annoying expression, and they found fault with the black dilu beast.

"Shut up! There is no time left! ”

The Hemdilumon roared at the idiot pair.

"Even if it's wrong! At least within the range of clues! It doesn't matter if you just take a scapegoat, no one wants to be put to death! ”

"Ugh"

Yabei realized his gaffe.

"Hmph, Uncle Ben is just telling the truth."

The little demon beast turned its head awkwardly and didn't speak.

"Alright, Hedilumon, don't be angry."

Ryder comforted his partner.

"We're going to find that little dog, you're my partner. Kaye and the Dormon are my juniors, so I won't let you suffer unjustly. ”

Speaking gentle words, Ryder's every word was a great hope for the Hedilumon.

"Yabei, you don't need to help, little demon beast, I just hope you don't have to do superfluous things."

Ryder looked at Yabei and the little demon beast with a 'smile', as if he was angry?

"Angry"

Yabei swallowed nervously, and Ryder was definitely angry.

"I also want to do my part to get my companions out of prison"

"I'm sorry for what I just said."

"You're too inferior, aren't you?"

The partner's reaction was met with the white eyes of the little demon beast.

"Your help will only add to the chaos."

The Hedilummon had its back to Yabei, still angry at what he had just said.

"Alright, don't be angry, the Hedilummon is an elder."

Ryder persuaded.

"Yabei has also apologized."

"Hmph, for Ryder's sake, I'll forgive you."

"Yes"

Yabei said reluctantly.

(What's that)

"Now, then, go find that little dog beast and ask the truth."

After jotting down the clues, Ryder prepares to leave the prison.

"Mr. Li, we're taking our leave."

"Come on, young man."

―1―

"What to do, what to do"

In an ordinary house in the residential area of the City of Angels, a small dog beast curled up on the bed, shivering under the covers. Its expression was also full of horror.

"It's all my fault for fighting with the big-eared beast"

The puppy muttered to himself, praying desperately that the 'sins' he and the big-eared beast had committed would not be discovered.

Outside the room, a Digimon with the same snow-white color as the puppy crept into its room and pushed the puppy mon that had been shivering all its life.

"Puppymon"

"Ahhh

The puppy let out a cry of surprise.

"Shhh

The Digimon covered the puppymon's mouth with its long ears, signaling it to be quiet.

"Big-Eared Beast"

Seeing that the intruder in the room was a big-eared beast, the little dog beast was shocked and angry.

"Why are you here?! It's all because of you that we're in trouble! ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fight you."

Faced with the puppy's scolding, the big-eared beast lowered its head.

"Because of me, you were also implicated"

"There's something wrong with me too"

The puppy beast also began to commit its own behavior.

"But I'm really scared."

Thinking of the excessively strict laws of the City of Angels, the little dog beast almost cried out in fear.

"If we were found to be the one who smashed the statue of the Holy Angel Beast, we would all be executed, I don't want to die."

"Puppy, I caused the statue to be broken. So I'm here to say goodbye to you today."

Not wanting his friend to be implicated because of himself, the big-eared beast's expression became serious.

"I decided to turn myself in"

Looking at the gentle eyes of the big-eared beast, tears burst out of the puppy beast's eyes.

"Don't! The big-eared beast will be executed! ”

"It's okay, I'll be reborn, even if we lose our memory, we'll still be good friends."

There seemed to be some sadness—and then the big-eared beast smiled with a transparent smile.

"Big-eared beast, let's leave the City of Angels together, it's not good here at all"

I can't do it.

The City of Angels was originally a cruel place, and everyone lived in fear under terrible laws.

It doesn't matter what happens to the statue when it is broken.

Friends also share laughter and quarrel with each other. But if you are executed for breaking the law by breaking the statue, it is really cruel.

The puppy just wanted to survive himself and the big-eared beast. As long as you don't live in the city, no matter where you are, it's enough to be with the big-eared beast.

If the big-eared beast is gone, the puppy beast doesn't know how to live in the future.

"But did you really escape?"

The words of the little dog beast moved the big-eared beast, but in fact, the big-eared beast was also afraid of punishment.

"The only thing that can leave the City of Angels is the teleportation array, where the Angel Beast handles. He wouldn't let us out without the right reasons."

"We can ask Jade Rabbitmon, Jade Rabbitmon is a very kind and gentle Digimon that will definitely help us"

The puppy beast pinned its hopes on the rabbit.

"Just tell it that we hate the city and want to live somewhere else again, and it will say yes."

"Let's run away together!"

"Yes!"

The two snow-white Digimon nodded, and left the room and ran to the library.

In everyone's impression, the library is the place where the Jade Rabbit Beast stays for the longest time.

At this time, it was already dark, and the phantom flowers, a specialty of the City of Angels, danced in the wind in the dense grass, shining in the dark night.

"Little dogs, big-eared beasts, are you going to the library?"

The sudden sound made the two of them frightened, frozen in place, and their bodies trembled slightly.

They stiffened and turned around, only to see a large gray rabbit-like Digimon walking towards them. Behind the rabbit was a demon fox beast, as well as two humans, and a small demon beast.

"Jade Rabbit Beast"

Ignoring the people behind the Jade Rabbit Beast, the Little Dog Beast and the Big-Eared Beast showed nervous expressions at the same time.

After a brief silence, the little dog beast held back the uneasiness in his heart and looked at the jade rabbit beast with pleading eyes in it.

"Jade Rabbit Beast, please help us"
