Chapter 1785: NO.400：Therefore, someone's hesitation is unnecessary

NO. 400：Therefore, someone's hesitation is unnecessary.

In the initial plan, the investigative activities were divided into internal and external parts, proceeding simultaneously.

——In the main world.

The Royal Knights, Heaven's Pole, and the related networks of the Xiangyu siblings sprang into action, using their respective ways to gather intelligence from outside the Hei'an region.

——In the Hei'an region.

The Xiangyu siblings' team likewise had some fallen-angel-type, magic-beast-type, demon-king-type, and demon-bird-type Digimon members that could directly blend into the local ecology.

This advantage is naturally enormous.

Especially, under Xiangyu Ami's command, there actually exists Lilithmon, a top-tier talent capable of directly participating in the Seven Deadly Gates selection.

Theoretically, one could directly infiltrate the core of the dangerous organization as an agent…… but it remains only theoretical.

Entering the core layer is one thing; becoming a black boss on equal footing with other black bosses is another matter.

The risks involved are incomparable.

When the Xiangyu siblings used their connections to gather intelligence on the Hei'an region for preliminary preparations and learned the secrets of the Seven Deadly Crown, even though the person concerned still firmly insisted on their intention and swore an oath to prove they could bring back useful information, in the end they still decided against it.

The Xiangyu siblings are all traditional partner-faction Digimon net investigators, treating their Digimon partners as equals rather than subordinates.

Although, like most tamers, they have long been in a protected commander position, they still possess the professional competence to accurately assess the opponent's ability rather than blindly trust and push them into a fire pit.

Note, it's professional, not occupational.

If occupational, they would often have times when they treat pieces as sacrificial pawns to maximize gain, but that would clearly not be what the partner faction should do.

In short, the part of the content concerning core intelligence theft has indeed been abandoned.

Having lost the spy capable of directly infiltrating the BOSS meeting room, relying solely on those virus seeds to investigate from scratch is obviously far less effective.

Considering that the people in the main world investigating the Hei'an region would be more restrained, always driven by anxiety, and have already formed the habit of "get things done quickly" as an efficiency-driven routine, Aomo Lindun is somewhat unable to hold back.

——At first, he could still be persuaded by the Xiangyu siblings with "Your main job isn't here; just let the professionals handle this kind of investigation," but when he unexpectedly found a breakthrough in the religious group and discovered that these two things actually had points of intersection……

Then he felt a sense of irritation, as if ensnared by the edge of a widely cast fishing net.

The underlying logic of this irritation is anxiety—specifically, the feeling stemming from "having an unsolved problem" that has evolved into dissatisfaction upon the usually neat and tidy Aomo Lindun.

But he of course also understands that this feeling is not widespread enough; that is to say, it cannot be labeled as a matter of course to bypass understanding, communication, and cognition and jump straight into action.

Thus, the choice before him is only two.

Like before, to go it alone, handling everything by himself to avoid all troubles.

Or, to take on all those troubles, explain things honestly, spend effort to let the informed and assisting parties understand his thoughts and actions, and seek a relatively ideal cooperative state and execution plan.

Undoubtedly, Little Aomo would choose the first, while Young Aomo would prioritize the second, but in the meantime—he certainly hasn't forgotten his work as a trainer that is currently underway.

During that period of over four months, the time truly used for preparation perhaps amounted to just over two months.

The remaining two months saw the four classic-year girls needing to participate in other events to accumulate popularity and results, and thus, while aiming for the Chrysanthemum Prize, they might also get a chance to step onto—looking back at the year's final race: the Arima Memorial.

Preparation, consecutive battles—time is visibly tight.

Although one could also think positively, for example, in such a tight schedule his life could largely return to normal, back to everyone giving their all to prepare and run, rather than getting stuck on interpersonal relationships and daily interactions, but first——

How dare you assume everyone is that honest?

Furthermore……

Have you ever considered that during the consecutive battles there might be new conflict events, new mindset shocks, new troublemaker Category: Term that would leave you even more clueless than before?

The demon person is not optimistic about this, let alone that his work to respond over these four months is not limited to these four horse girls.

In contrast, the ladies of the senior division in the ancient horse year and the final Dream Cup challenge.

The Sirius symbol and Narita Shirojin also have the mind to challenge the Arima Memorial, likely needing to participate in some ancient horse events alongside the high school underclassmen to accumulate eligibility, sharing a similarly high probability of events occurring.

While Ludaofu Xiangzheng and Qianming represent these two…… the former has no popularity, fans, or eligibility issues, so there's no need to insist on running. The latter wants to repay old fans but also has poor leg condition; rather than racing early, it's better to fully prepare for the final battle, lacking the qualification to insist on running.

But whether idling will become a helpful hand or the fuse of a new problem, Aomo expresses doubt.

In short, precisely because he has a deep understanding of future prospects and is unwilling to favor one over the other, deviating from due professional ethics and responsibility, Aomo Lindun ultimately chose neither path.

He came up with a third way.

Because he actually understood early on that to interfere with a matter's development, one does not need to thrust one's hand into it.

Although that would rather require taking a big detour, like figuring out who could handle that matter, who is unfamiliar with you, you don't need to be responsible for them, nor do you need their gratitude, but you can indeed make them act, as long as you provide a sufficiently motivating 'reason'.

That reason can be a genuine reason, or it can be a 'headless and tailless piece of information'.

Being able to serve as a 'spark that injects energy into the logical chain', why is that? Because from long ago, ever since being introduced through Xiangyu's connection and first meeting the other party, he has already had a feeling of encountering a kindred spirit.

Even before that, he had seen various kindred spirits in different fields, and had even been directly called a kindred spirit by others.

But truly resembling in several aspects to the point of being identical, as if those few major aspects could produce a thin yet consistent image, up to now there has only been that one.

Barbaromon. X

He is just like Aomo Lindun who took another path.

That path is close to the 'Observer', yet even more human-like than the Observer, more desirous, and thus ironically conforms to Aomo Lindun's original ideal vision: a solitary, free existence, more rational and aloof than Red Kai's wayward son, yet not completely emotionless.

——His interactions with Bi Ze, in Aomo's view, have already been quite attentive.

It is unknown whether the extraterrestrial youngster applied his experience of getting along with himself here, or whether 'Barbaromon. X has been lonely for too long, while Bi Ze happens to have much knowledge he has never encountered (including experiences from other worlds)', or both, but that is not the point.

The point is that, thanks to this understanding, he can better grasp the other's psychological state and thus speculate on the psychological activity that this point, indispensable in the vortex, would generally have.

Either completely leave and go away, or thoroughly dispose of it.

If this matter cannot be avoided, regardless of success or failure, one cannot escape the impact of that troublemaker Category: Term on oneself, so the only option is the latter.

He naturally understands.

Because he is just like that.
