Chapter 44

Agumon tilted his head, "What's wrong with you guys? If you don't hurry up, Snotmon will catch up."

Edogawa Conan stiffened.

Compared with a creature that looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex cub and the densely packed things behind him that were throwing indescribable objects, Edogawa Conan felt that his patience seemed to have increased.

Jinpei Matsuda silently watched Agumon opening his mouth to speak, and thought of what Kenji Hagiwara had said before about the difference between a child's voice and the roar of a dinosaur.

It's absolutely true.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Agumon urged anxiously.

The rustling sounds behind them were getting louder and louder, and the indescribable objects were irritating their nerves.

"It doesn't look like there's any danger. Let's go and see for ourselves." Hagiwara Kenji followed. "We need to shake off those creatures behind us first."

Matsuda Jinpei nodded and quickly followed.

Even if Edogawa Conan resisted a little, it was of no use. He was still sandwiched by Matsuda Jinpei.

"Big brother, put me down, I can run by myself." Edogawa Conan couldn't help but say.

Matsuda Jinpei ruthlessly dismissed the idea: "Forget it. If there's any danger later, how are you going to escape?"

There was a hint of frustration on Edogawa Conan's face. It was true that at his current level he really couldn't outrun those unknown things.

Kenji Hagiwara tentatively touched the tree with his fingers. A bright green light rippled out from the point of contact and then passed through unhindered.

When my body completely passed through the trees, everything in front of me changed.

Jinpei Matsuda and Conan Edogawa followed closely behind and also passed through the trees. Then, the rustling sounds on the other side of the trees gradually faded away. They successfully got rid of the unknown green guy.

"It seems to have been shaken off."

Hagiwara Kenji breathed a sigh of relief.

"What was that thing just now? The way it attacks people is so disgusting." Matsuda Jinpei complained.

"It's Snotmon. He likes cool, humid places the most, but for some reason he's been extra active lately." Agumon explained to Jinpei Matsuda and others.

As soon as the words fell, the three of them couldn't help but fix their eyes on Agumon.

Matsuda Jinpei asked cautiously, "What about you? What are you?"

"My name is Agumon, and I'm a Digimon."

Agumon grinned, his fangs faintly visible, and his innocent smile made him seem less dangerous.

Edogawa Conan's eyes trembled slightly. He boldly touched Agumon's claws, and his three views were immediately shocked.

Is it true?!

This is too unscientific!

"We can't stay here for too long. The sun is blocked by dark clouds. It will be very dangerous if Snotmon finds us." Agumon said seriously.

Jinpei Matsuda glanced at the sky covered by dark clouds and pushed up his sunglasses. "Why is it dangerous when the sun is blocked?"

Agumon led the way and said, "Snotmon and his friends only like dark and humid environments. They hate sunlight the most and won't even set foot in sunny places. When the clouds cover the sun and there's no sunlight, the Snotmon will become active. If we catch up to them then, the scene will be unimaginable."

When they thought of the indescribable pink object thrown in a perfect parabola, Edogawa, Conan and the other two broke out in sweat.

You can't even touch that thing!

"By the way, Agumon." Edogawa Conan shouted, "Have you seen three children of the same age as me?"

Agumon glanced up and down at Edogawa Conan and thought carefully: "No."

Edogawa Conan frowned.

Where did Yuantai and the others go? Detective Badge also lost its signal after coming in. Could the three of them have also encountered Snotmon?

"If you need to find someone, I can help." Agumon smiled friendly. "You probably aren't familiar with the routes on the island. I'm also looking for my friends, so I can help you find the missing children."

After thinking about it, this is indeed the only way. They don't know the route on the island, and they don't even know the specific location of Yuantai and the others. It would be bad if they run around and encounter Snotmon again.

Conan Edogawa described the physical characteristics of Genta and the others to Agumon.

Agumon: "If it's a child, Kumamon might know something."

The three of them and one Digimon decided to head west to the Toy City to look for Bearmon.

The ecology of Failu Island is diverse and complex. Behind you is a lush forest, which will turn into a barren grassland in the blink of an eye. The intricate network of telephone poles is densely packed, and the sun is baking the ground from high in the sky.

Edogawa Conan frowned, sensing the ecological problems of the island.

The forests and lakes are intricately intertwined, full of strange incongruities.

Agumon paused and said in surprise, "There's a village ahead. Maybe we can find the person you're looking for."

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda exchanged glances.

A village? Are there people living here?

The whole picture of the village gradually appeared before their eyes, and the colorful tents looked like small mushrooms on the plain.

The corners of Jinpei Matsuda's mouth twitched.

I was really overthinking it.

Rainbow's little tent was quiet, and there was not a single Digimon in sight within the village.

There was an eerie quietness.

Agumon looked around for a moment, then muttered with a puzzled expression, "Why is the village empty?"

In the corner, several gray long-eared Pagu beasts looked at the people who broke in and whispered to each other.

Kenji Hagiwara looked curiously at the small tents in front of him, which were only as high as his knees. "Are there Digimon living in here too?"

"There should be a group of them living here, but why aren't there any?" The yellow Digimon scratched the back of his head, his expression full of confusion. "How strange."

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes moved slightly under his sunglasses. He heard a faint sound behind him, but when he turned around, he found nothing.

Kenji Hagiwara shared the same feeling: "Something is always watching us."

"Well, be careful hagi."

Edogawa Conan stood next to the tent, raised his hand to open the tent, and frowned as he looked at the things on the mini table.

The way the things on the table were arranged looked like the owner of this tent had gone out temporarily for something.

It's not just this tent, the same goes for the others.

It's so weird.

Edogawa Conan noticed a black shadow flashing by quickly from the corner of his eye. His eyes flashed and he chased after it in an instant: "There's something here!"

He shouted and chased, a gray shadow floating in the air, completely trapped in the corner.

The gray shadow turned around, and the other person's figure was reflected in Edogawa Conan's pupils.

Pagumon slowly turned around, with sweat on his forehead from nervousness.

Matsuda Jinpei, who had caught up after hearing the news, paused after seeing it clearly, his eyebrows moving slightly: "A flying pig?"

piggy.

Veins popped out of the Pagu beast's head, and just as it was about to attack, it noticed the number of opponents. Hagiwara Kenji was one step behind Matsuda Jinpei, and the height of the two adult men carried an overwhelming aura.

Pagumon landed on the ground with a thud, choosing to temporarily protect itself.

"This one doesn't look aggressive." Kenji Hagiwara squatted down and looked at it.

Pagumon had a smile on his face, and his flexible ears made a greeting gesture. The round ball looked harmless.

Hagiwara Kenji blinked: "Are you saying hello to me?"

Pagumon's ears twitched enthusiastically.

"It's Pagumon." Agumon stared at the Digimon sitting in the corner with a complicated expression.

Conan Edogawa: "What happened to this Digimon?"

Agumon recalled his past experiences and said, "Pagumon is a species that particularly loves to play pranks, lie and cheat, and always bullies other weaker species."

Hearing this, they turned their attention back to Pagumon.

Pagumon shuddered, and hurriedly put on a harmless look with its ears: "Pa, Pagumon is a good Digimon."

The way he was hastily explaining himself and trembling with fear made him look nothing like someone who would bully another race.

Instead, it looks like they will be bullied by other races.

Agumon was speechless: "Maybe this one is different."

Matsuda Jinpei reached out and poked the Digimon in front of him, his tone full of interest: "It looks very weak."

Pagumon's gaze rested on Matsuda Jinpei's sunglasses. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, then disappeared in an instant, and he still had a friendly smile on his face.

Matsuda Jinpei naturally did not miss Pagumon's unnaturalness. His eyebrows moved slightly, but he did not point it out directly. Instead, he exchanged glances with Hagiwara Kenji.

Hagihara Kenji understood.

Pagumon twitched its ears happily and rubbed Matsuda Jinpei's fingers skillfully: "Pagumon is a good Digimon, and the others are just rumors."

While they were talking, many noises were heard around them one after another. One after another, gray Pagu beasts came out of the tent and surrounded them with smiles on their faces.

Edogawa Conan looked at the sudden increase in the number of Pagumon and had a bad feeling in his heart. He raised his hand and tugged at Hagiwara Kenji's clothes. He said in a timid voice, "Big Brother, why are there so many Digimon suddenly here?"

Densely packed gray Pagu beasts surrounded them, their red eyes smiling, looking like an evil force.

Matsuda Jinpei: "Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

Hagiwara Kenji: "Jinpei-chan, I have a bad feeling."

Agumon: "What are you going to do?"

"do what?"

Pagumon, who had been rubbing against Matsuda Jinpei docilely, seemed to have transformed into a beast. His red eyes curved, and his laughter became increasingly arrogant. "Hey, you bastard with sunglasses, you dare to call me a pig?"

The corners of Hagiwara Kenji's mouth twitched slightly: "It has completely changed."

Edogawa Conan: "Are you getting arrogant because your friends are here?"

Pagumon pointed his ears at the sunglasses on Matsuda Jinpei's face and said, "If you know what's good for you, take those sunglasses off and apologize to me."

The guy who was called the "sunglasses bastard" sneered and raised his hand to push up his sunglasses: "Dream on."

Pagumon's forehead suddenly bulged with blue veins: "You have to give it to me, even if you don't want to! Brothers, grab it for me!"

Trouble's speech as an evil force is completely different from when he was like a little quail just now. Edogawa Conan's half-moon eyes: Hey, you're changing fast too.

"Oh!" The rest of the Pagumon acted in unison, took out long and thick branches, and rushed towards Matsuda Jinpei and the others like bandits.

Countless Pagumon quickly rushed towards Matsuda Jinpei, waving the branches in their hands with clanging sounds, and their subsequent forward movements left no chance for resistance.

"Hey, hey, no way." Kenji Hagiwara had sweat on his forehead. He felt that the situation was a bit difficult to deal with. There were too many Pagumons, and they had no chance of winning by themselves.

Edogawa Conan opened his eyes wide, looking shocked: "He's really coming!"

Agumon collapsed and held his head: "Oh no, run!"

Matsuda Jinpei clicked his tongue, grabbed the back of Edogawa Conan's collar, picked up the commanding Pagumon and threw it back into the Pagumon herd.

Agumon ran and shouted, "As expected, all Pagumon are liars."

"Brothers, catch the curly-haired bastard wearing sunglasses first!" Pagumon shouted loudly as he chased after them relentlessly.

"Oh!" The remaining Pagumons were full of fighting spirit and chased them closely.

Although Pagumon looks small, its perseverance in chasing people is comparable to that of a slug. Although its attack method is much better than that of the pink indescribable creature, there is one thing that is extremely infuriating.

They are particularly noisy.

"Curly-haired bastard!"

"Don't run if you dare!"

Chasing and taunting, a group of Pagu beasts chattered endlessly, a completely effective long-range attack.

A hash mark popped up on Jinpei Matsuda's forehead, and Edogawa Conan could clearly sense his displeasure.

"These guys!" Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth.

Hagiwara Kenji suppressed his laughter: "Zhenping, calm down."
