Chapter 1744

NO. 358: The black market suspected to be some kind of restroom.

How is this possible?

When the exit key not only became useless but also began to fade, astonishment struck not only the puppet Aomo but even the little Aomo, who was holding a meeting during his rest after training, unconsciously let out an "Huh?"; several adult horse girls who had their heads down immediately perked up their originally drooping ears and cast doubtful gazes.

Moreover, several other high school and middle school horse girls who were originally just listening in tilted their heads at seeing little Aomo's sudden small movement.

While holding the meeting, this person had just been enumerating Chengtian Bai Ren, Tianlangxing Xiangzheng, and the Qianming representative, each of whom seemed to have fallen into bad running habits because they weren't truly following the system's theoretical guidance, showing no mercy; he could be called a very unpleasant child.

Under the worried gaze of the solemnly Luna-mode-switched Ludaofu Xiangzheng, he held back a little.

Well, indeed, Ludaofu Xiangzheng, who has been running since childhood under the guidance of a family-hired consumptive professional trainer, has a running style that can be called dignified and majestic, the posture of a king; naturally, he is not among those being called out one by one.

Such her, being called a demon king back then was only because the Qianming representative repeatedly lost and fought, evoking empathy, and she at that time was not merely repeatedly defeating the Qianming representative? She once crushed an entire generation of horse girls, her momentum and temperament inevitably bearing the title of demon king. But aside from that, in other years the title of emperor still predominated, proving that her professional running style, as proper as a respectable school, is flawless.

As for such a model student, Xiao Aomo felt that he should create a leading role, that is……appropriately give some face.

But this action seemed to be considered by the other horse girls as "the Luna-persona Ludaofu being able to suppress a bit of the brat-like trainer," which is another matter; nowadays these horse girls are more wondering why the little trainer suddenly made a puzzled movement and then began to act foolishly.

At first glance one might have thought he discovered something while pointing out those three old-timers' flaws, but upon further thought, considering his abrupt departure and return just before……

"What happened?" Aimu Zhiji suddenly asked.

Among those present, if we speak of who has ample experience in "pretending to be fine after an incident while still having to restrain oneself," it is obviously her and Chengtian Bai Ren, but Chengtian Bai Ren now is still somewhat stuck in the embarrassment of being pointed at, obviously lacking Aimu Zhiji's reaction speed as an outside observer.

But once Aimu Zhiji spoke like that, not only her, even those like Ailisuzhi who lack such empathy would react.

"Any gains? Little Guinea Pig."

"I'm afraid we'll still have to wait a while." Xiao Aomo said calmly.

He had obviously readjusted his mindset during the time spent on these two issues, but then he let out a puzzled mutter with the expression of an old man fumbling with his phone on the subway:

"Just leave like that?"

"?"

This mutter was crystal clear for those horse girls with exceptional hearing.

But before they could ask further, the sound of feet hastily tapping the sand made them turn their gaze toward that side, where someone who seemed to have had effective swimming supervision for a few days, now able to drag three big watermelons and walk swiftly, was Shinjou Akane.

If little Aomo knew what they were thinking, it would mercilessly expose: it's telekinesis, she added telekinesis.

Even the pair of heavy fruits that couldn't be properly held in swimwear, without violently shaking to trigger the little black cat and little sister's alarm, were also thanks to telekinesis.

But apparently, little Aomo wasn't really free to pay attention here.

This is both an opportunity for Miss Akane to show off in front of these true fitness and sports experts, and an opportunity belonging to Lilith Beast on the other side.

After all—

The team on Aomo's side had already been easily split.

But the reason for the split wasn't the Demon King Army's efforts being notably effective; it was simply… that Souha Takumi and Jess Beast never expected Aomo Lindun's side to go offline unsuccessfully.

According to the original battle plan, everyone should have on Aomo's side forced the target to be isolated and left as many data traces as possible, then let the guard robot scan the scene traffic and extract that portion of the target.

Being isolated was to make the data easier to identify, and extracting was to refine the opposing IP and further doxx their location.

This series only required the Guard Machine Beast to steadily perform its steps, which should have been unproblematic; at the point when that man's IP address even showed his real-name verification online, only one link went wrong: that Aomo Lindun and Bellstar Beast failed to each follow their respective evacuation routes.

Aomo Lindun went offline himself, while Bellstar Beast and Jess Beast went together—this retreat route marked in the battle plan was beyond doubt, so whether it was Jess Beast clearing the path or Souha Takumi closely followed by the Strategy Beast, they chose to trust each other and pursue a clean, swift execution.

And thus, nobody looked back.

Trust is a virtue, but blind trust became the mistake at this moment; the only one who glanced back was apparently Bellstar Beast.

It was precisely this glance that made her pause in her charge, then she suddenly raised her dual guns, causing the six barrels' combined shot to scatter directly into the metal spray proper to a shotgun.

Boom!

The pursuit sounds during the escape were expected; Jess Beast, Strategy Beast, and Souha Takumi charged into the exit without suspicion, only upon reaching another realm and looking back did they notice a missing graceful figure that should have been there.

"Go back?"

Frowning, though Jess Beast had no brows to furrow, he turned his armored face, bearing wolf and dragon traits, toward Souha Takumi. Skilled in coordinated team combat, he would intentionally yield command to someone more capable and qualified, having participated in various battles, always leading Digimon teams, once having saved the Digital World as the Savior Net Detective—undoubtedly an excellent choice.

But more importantly, he ought to understand Aomo and Bellstar Beast better than I do.

Jess Beast keenly felt his own makeshift nature, and Souha Takumi likewise had the awareness of battlefield command.

"Go back!"

He called out crisply, and with one hand pulling the Tyranno Machine and the other the Digital Soul, the Scout Beast and Guard Machine Beast's feet lit up with azure data-stream patterns, and the next moment:

Rust Giant Dragon Beast and Final Bow Garuru Beast replaced those two and immediately turned toward him.

Just like transferring Pokémon at a Pokémon Center in the Pokémon anime, this similar process is also standard equipment for many who make a living with Digimon, tamers and net detectives alike—everyone is familiar with it, and even Digimon are no exception.

"Keep up with us."

Souha Takumi only needed to throw out that line and turn around when he again heard a shout:

"Big brother!!!"

Feeling somewhat annoyed, as if answering would mean being doused with the chief's characteristic coffee, Souha Takumi involuntarily shuddered.

But the great friends still turned to look, boldly responded, and moreover gave a direct command in response:

"Ami! You also keep up! Talk on the way!"
