Chapter 45
They didn't know how long they had been running before they finally got rid of the Pagu beast that was chasing them. They took a rest by the river, catching their breath.
After being put down, Edogawa Conan was extremely eager to complain.
After being chased for a while, the Pagumon were exhausted and almost gave up. But then this staff member named Zhenping turned around and taunted them, which actually gave the Pagumon more motivation. They chased them for a long time, shouting and even throwing branches at them.
The original direction was completely messed up, and Agumon looked at the surrounding environment with some confusion.
Where is this place?
"Lost?" asked Jinpei Matsuda.
Agumon's face was filled with confusion. He rubbed his head sheepishly and said, "I can't quite remember the way here. Wait a moment while I look around."
Edogawa Conan stood on a slightly higher stone and looked at the river in front of him. The wide and long river flowed slowly, and the surrounding stones were smoothed by the water. A few fish could be seen in the clear river.
The trees around us stood tall and straight, and the breeze brought some relief from the heat of the escape.
Edogawa Conan relaxed for a moment. "The environment here has changed so quickly. It was a hot and somewhat arid plain before, but now it's forests and lakes."
"The design of this place is amazing," he praised, then turned to look at Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei and said in a sweet voice, "Big Brothers, will this place be officially open?"
"There's no point in testing us. We don't know anything about this kind of thing." Matsuda Jinpei looked at the testing Edogawa Conan with a half-smile.
"But kid, you really aren't like a normal kid."
Kenji Hagihara noted, "It's amazing how calm he is when faced with something like this."
Edogawa Conan's forehead was covered with sweat. He rubbed the back of his head nervously. "But it's because I often appear at crime scenes with Uncle Maori, so I am more receptive to things."
"I see."
Neither Jinpei Matsuda nor Kenji Hagiwara were fooled by him.
Edogawa Conan, eager to change the subject, looked around and spotted a Digimon. He pointed and shouted, "Big Brothers, look, is that a Digimon over there?"
A fish-like Digimon with fins on its head. It looks like a fish but now crawls on all fours.
"Is this a fish?" asked Kenji Hagiwara.
Matsuda Jinpei thought for a moment and said, "It's a frog, right?"
"It's coming towards us." Edogawa Conan said, "It doesn't look like a friendly Digimon either."
Matsuda Jinpei stroked his chin and subconsciously looked around for possible hiding spots for the Digimon. "There's only one, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Agumon ran over from a distance: "I know where this is. We will be able to reach Toy City soon--"
After Agumon saw the Digimon facing them, his voice paused, "There's actually a Betamon here."
It thought of the three humans present who didn't understand this, so it took the initiative to explain, "Betamon is an honest and friendly Digimon. There's no need to worry about being hunted down like Pagumon."
Hagiwara Kenji said, "But it looks like it's in a bad mood."
"Uh." Agumon paid close attention to Betamon's situation, blinked his eyes, and the electric current flashing through the other party was reflected in his pupils. He subconsciously took half a step back.
The three of them watched Agumon's movements, their instincts kicked in once again, and they all became alert.
"The Betamon I've heard are all very kind and honest, but this one... uh." Agumon watched the lightning on the other's body grow brighter and brighter, and swallowed subconsciously: "This one seems angry."
"What will happen if they get angry? Do they live together as a tribe?" asked Kenji Hagiwara.
"No." Agumon shook his head. "If Betamon gets angry, he will release more than 1 million electric currents from his body and attack whoever he thinks is the enemy."
"Like right now."
When Kenji Hagiwara turned around, he saw Betamon, whose whole body was filled with electricity, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Run!" Agumon shouted as he ran.
Several people who were already very skilled in the escape business started to escape with a clear division of labor.
Edogawa Conan had given up struggling and was once again dragged away by the collar.
Betamon, inexplicably angry, released over a million kilowatts of electricity, which burst through the sky, releasing massive lightning and thunder.
Edogawa Conan looked at this scene in shock.
This island is outrageous!
Next, the three of them encountered a Digimon that looked like a flower bud. Among them, Jinpei Matsuda touched a leaf out of curiosity and was chased and pricked by Budmon.
After that, he just avoided Budmon and ran into Draculmon, who loved playing pranks and forced him to play a dangerous challenge game.
He fled again without stopping.
After successfully escaping, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally. Conan Edogawa touched something soft, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a huge poisonous mushroom.
Su Lai likes to bully the weak poisonous mushroom and laughs arrogantly.
Agumon: "..." Have you ever been so unlucky before?
Hagiwara Kenji: "No way, you're coming again?"
Matsuda Jinpei grabbed the back collar of Edogawa Conan's transformed body and said, "Don't touch me next time."
"Run." Agumon said weakly.
Tired.
*
Young Digimon are very fond of dark-skinned adult men. A group of soft little guys gathered around Amuro Toru's feet, biting his trouser legs and wanting him to touch their heads.
At the beginning, when there were not many people, I could still take care of them, but as more and more people gathered around, it became a bit busy.
Zhu Fujingguang was responsible for putting back the cubs that ran out of the cradle to ask Amuro Toru to pat their heads, but there were always a few who escaped quietly when he was not looking and returned to the queue area as if nothing had happened.
In comparison, Kurokawa Akishige was much more relaxed. He leaned close to Amuro Toru and watched him comfort the little Digimon one by one.
"Mr. Amuro, do you like animals?" he asked.
Amuro Toru chuckled: "It's not that bad, it's just that I can't just leave these little guys alone."
Kurokawa Akishige looked at Amuro Toru's relaxed and happy expression and thought to himself.
I laughed so happily, I thought Mr. Amuro was a dog person, but it turns out he is the type that everyone likes?
The little Digimons chirped and lined up, touching one and then the next one followed.
Darkmon had a conflict with a purple, bristly-haired juvenile Digimon, and the two juvenile Digimon were arguing with each other.
The purple Digimon hadn't even grown all its teeth yet, but it opened its mouth and made a biting expression to scare Darkmon.
The black ball beast shrank its body and small drops of water filled its eyes.
Kurokawa Akishige watched the quarrel in the kindergarten in front of him with great interest. He quietly patted the shoulder of the person next to him, reminding Amuro Toru, who was comforting another Digimon with his back to him, to turn his head.
"Mr. Amuro, hurry up, someone over here is being beaten and crying." Kurokawa Akifusa reminded with the intention of watching the fun.
The purple Duoduomon pretended to be fierce and scared the black ballmon, and its small body looked very heroic and confident.
As soon as he showed the winner's pose, he was seen by Amuro Toru, and his little purple body stiffened.
"No fighting." Amuro Toru touched the tearful BlackBallmon and looked at Dodomon with a slightly stern face.
The hard fur on Duoduo Beast's body softened when it was seen, and its round eyes drooped in a look of loss.
There are many cubs in the breeding garden, and there are many similar black-balled Digimon, but Amuro Toru has never seen the same little Digimon with purple fur.
This one looks pretty rare.
Kurokawa Akiwa noticed Toru Amuro's confusion and said, "This one is called Dodomon. Mr. Amuro, are you curious why you haven't seen a second Dodomon?"
Amuro Toru nodded.
"Because Dodomon rarely lives to its full form, which is what we call an adult," explained Kurokawa Akifusa.
Amuro Toru was slightly stunned, and vaguely seemed to sense what Kurokawa Akifusa would say.
"The inherent aggressive nature of Dodomon makes them aggressive even in their infancy. A fully-formed Dodomon is a formidable beast, like a ferocious beast. Therefore, many young Dodomon are killed by other Digimon, making them extremely rare."
Kurokawa Akishige reached out and poked the intimidating Dodomon, and the purple cub became angry and bit his finger.
The young headmaster flicked Duoduomon's head with his backhand to stop the little guy's ferocity.
Amuro Toru's purple-gray eyes dimmed slightly as he witnessed the cruel scene on this island for the first time.
Zhu Fu Jingguang also squatted down and took a closer look at the rare Duoduo beast: "It really looks full of aggression."
Compared with other young animals, it seems like it can beat many others to tears, even though its teeth haven't grown yet.
"Who are you guys!" an angry shout was heard.
Looking over at the direction of the voice, Toru Amuro saw a red Digimon with many tails.
Alimon spread out its nine tails, ready to attack these unidentified people.
Just as the flash attack was about to be launched, Alimon's pupils contracted when his eyes caught sight of one of the figures. He stopped and said in a voice full of surprise, "Mr. Principal?"
Alimon's nine tails, which were used to intimidate the enemy, relaxed, and the joy in his heart surged uncontrollably, and he rushed forward quickly.
"Long time no see, Alimon." Kurokawa Akifumi rubbed Alimon's head.
Alimon breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness it's the headmaster. When I heard the children's voices just now, I thought they were in danger."
Kurokawa Akifumi chuckled: "Erimon is becoming more and more reliable now."
"By the way, this is Alimon, the director of this breeding garden." Kurokawa Akifusa explained to the two people behind him.
Alimon shifted his gaze to Amuro Toru and Morobushi Kagemitsu and asked in confusion, "Who are these two guys?"
"He is my employee, and he may be the person you have the most contact with next," said Kurokawa Akifusa.
Alimon nodded, not quite understanding. Before they could say anything, they were interrupted by the crying of the young Digimon.
One of the cubs was crying, and it was like a fuse was lit, and the rising and falling cries echoed through the sky.
"It's over, the children are crying." Alimon rushed over anxiously.
"Let's help too." Zhu Fu Jingguang offered.
Amuro Toru nodded and joined in comforting the cubs.
Kurokawa Akishige chose to tease the culprit, Dodomon, alone. The purple-haired young Digimon was so arrogant that it made the other little Digimon cry, and fell into his claws as soon as it turned around.
The dark-haired headmaster smiled and said, "I love to discipline bad kids the most."
Duoduomon's body trembled, and its small body struggled in Kurokawa Akishige's hands.
The Digimon who returned to the cradle were quickly soothed and stopped crying. The tired and noisy cubs soon settled down.
Ellimon sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Amuro Toru and Morofushi Kagemitsu, "Not bad, much faster than I could do it myself."
Amuro Toru: "It's our fault that it became like this, and it's also thanks to Erimon."
Alimon felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and touched the back of his head with a red face: "No."
Its ears moved, and some subtle sounds came.
Alimon's eyes darkened and he looked towards the entrance of the breeding garden.
"Something's coming."
Alimon rushed over quickly: "Don't move, I'll go take a look."
*
"Why isn't it over yet?" Kenji Hagiwara, who had just walked to the entrance of the breeding garden, saw the fiery red Digimon rushing out.
Conan Edogawa was also very tired. Although he was pulled back and forth the whole time, the mental fatigue was insurmountable.
"What Digimon is it this time?" Jinpei Matsuda held his forehead with his hand, his head aching.
Agumon: "Erimon, the headmaster of the Nurturing Garden, will definitely be a friendly Digimon this time."
"Who are you?" Alimon's eyes were alert, and his tail exploded like a peacock spreading its tail, full of aggressive posture.
Edogawa Conan couldn't help but complain: "This one looks very fierce, it doesn't look like a friendly Digimon, right?"
"Uh..." The experience of strength along the way made Agumon a little doubtful of himself. It seemed that no matter how docile a Digimon was, it would become extremely violent when encountered by them.
"Are you going to run again this time?" Hagiwara Kenji asked with a sigh.
Matsuda Jinpei's eyes were sharp: "It looks like there's only one this time."
Edogawa Conan had a bad feeling: "Are you trying to subdue it?"
Alimon understood what they meant and suddenly grinned hoarsely, its tail taking on an attacking form, ready to use the flash of electricity.
Electricity surrounded Alimon, and thinking of Betamon's store attack, Edogawa Conan fell silent.
This familiar situation has happened many times.
"Why don't we just run?" he suggested.
Hagiwara Kenji looked at the electricity surrounding Ellimon. Betamon's memory was still fresh in his mind. He nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
Alimon lowered his voice with anger and ferocity: "It's not that easy to just come and go as you please!"
Yellow lightning crackled around him, and danger was imminent.
"Please wait a moment."
Toru Amuro shouted as he hurried over.
Alimon's movements were interrupted. He looked at the two humans running over in confusion: "What's wrong? Are they the bad guys who are trying to break into the breeding garden?"
"This must be a misunderstanding." Zhu Fujingguang explained gently: "They are our companions and also employees of the director."
Alimon rubbed his head, glanced at Morobushi Kagemitsu, then at Matsuda Jinpei, who was wearing sunglasses behind them. He pointed and asked, "Is that the guy wearing sunglasses too?"
Zhu Fushigure was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across Matsuda Jinpei's dark face, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Yes, he just looks fierce, he is not a bad guy."
"So that's how it is." Alimon nodded, not quite understanding, and apologized: "Sorry, I thought it was a bad guy."
Amuro Toru glanced at Matsuda Jinpei's somewhat embarrassed state and chuckled: "Why are you guys so embarrassed?"
Thinking of what he had encountered after entering this place, Matsuda Jinpei's face darkened. He refused to answer and asked instead, "Why are you here too?"
Hagiwara Kenji breathed a sigh of relief.
When Edogawa Conan saw Amuro Toru, he felt tears well up in his eyes for a moment: "Mr. Amuro!"
Amuro Toru's eyes fell on the obviously wrinkled back collar of Edogawa Conan's shirt, and he blinked in confusion: "Conan, what's wrong with your clothes?"
Edogawa Conan: "..."
Mr. Amuro, there's no need to observe so closely at a time like this.
