Chapter 1907
NO. 526: There should be a camera to spy on the characters' lives.
Crack Team, a name specially coined by a group of 'fans' who have been exposed to otherworldly digital IPs.
Its original positioning was indeed a human hacker group that used mechanical-system Digimon to do bad deeds, and that bunch borrowing the name truly lives up to it: they really have been walking the path of illegal crime.
It has been mentioned that in the early years of the Federation's digital domain, much research data came from the Crack Team's 'contributions', including a large number of inhumane Digimon experiments that greatly accelerated industry development; undoubtedly a rather dark period, since at that time there were indeed no laws protecting Digimon rights, so the original Crack Team was not heavily pursued by police, but rather investigated by fellow civilian organizations such as Beast Tamers and Net Detectives.
What the industry regrets is that they were allowed to survive.
Precisely because the authorities did not rush to intervene early on, and also because the Crack Team, relying on unrestricted methods, has always stayed ahead in gathering information on Digimon and the digital realm, when the authorities finally decided to intervene, it was far from smooth.
Thus the organization became one of the few 'century-old brand' criminal groups in the entire Federation.
Moreover, rumors have it that the authorities deliberately let it run as a black-gloved hand.
The basis for this rumor is that the Federation's Net Surveillance launches a large crackdown on the Crack Team every few years, yet each time only a handful are caught, while a pile of data is always obtained—essentially fattening the fish before scooping them up.
After a century, no one knows how much academic material the Crack Team has provided, making it hard not to suspect internal collusion.
Aomo is not clear about this, but he does know that Tuo Hai has some connections with certain members of the Crack Team.
After all, this is not the first time it has been mentioned.
Moreover, the fact that such a tenacious black organization has capable people is hardly surprising; what is surprising is that he would bring it up now.
But upon careful thought, it's not strange either.
Black-on-black has always been a stable livelihood; the Crack Team members wandering in the dark zones is perfectly natural, but the businesses and research lines related to the dark zone require high investment and technical skill without guaranteeing high returns—a high-risk choice that obviously would not be the Crack Team's main line.
If anyone truly cannot forget, they would likely have to find their own way—
Then comes this very opportunity right now.
Aomo would suspect that Taku Hai's proposal wasn't his own idea, but rather a request from that side—taking advantage of the moment when the Seven Great Demon Kings are half-sealed and the Demon King army is scattered, while this side still has many Digimon from the main Digital World, net police, and net detectives on standby, responsible for short-term monitoring, which indeed makes it inconvenient for the Crack Team members to show up.
Let him handle it himself.
The demon thought.
Even doing things personally has its limits.
Although he is extremely curious about the anomalies of the Gate of Great Sin, this stage of gathering researchers is still too early.
The proposer, Tuo Hai, is not like Bi Ze, who needs special attention as a half-baked individual; he simply conserves some energy to prepare for the future—
The training for the adult division's horse girls, with another round coming up tomorrow.
The most obvious possibility indicated by the abnormal signs of the Gate of Great Sin.
Will there be a chance to witness that Ogudomon?
He is not certain, but he is glad he did not hastily disband the temporary command chatroom established during the previous operation.
Before, Kai once had a question phrased as 'Maybe they're betting that Aomo and his crew won't be able to quickly assemble a savior team this time'—Aomo, who was messing with that chatroom, confidently replied, 'Sure, bro, sure.'
Calling everyone back again is not difficult; giving a heads-up now, if something really happens, the threat priority of the aberrant super demon king will always outweigh personal conflicts.
But just because one gets a 'will definitely come' answer doesn't mean they can stop worrying about 'when they will come'.
After all, Aomo himself is a very busy person; if this time happens to clash with an important match, he too would be the first to sigh.
Go and sigh together with the tall, blond-haired man in the audience seats, feeling that one can still hear that sigh (x).
From June to October, these four months not only mark the end of summer training camps, but also mean the interleaving of several world-class G1 races.
Whether it's the high school division or the adult division's horse girls, fan accumulation and prize amounts are always the more the better.
Properly participating in these well-known races can be considered a necessary baseline test: it's both a time to demonstrate training results through actual combat, and to ensure running condition.
Otherwise, after several months without hitting the field, just comparing data with everyone at the training ground, who could say what results she would achieve?
Always on the battlefield, keep in mind the fighting spirit that the strong contemporaries on that mighty track can bring you.
Whether feeling oppressed or wanting to crush it, or any other complex emotion, trainers hope they don't forget that state.
So-called rehabilitation is exactly that.
The horse girl line is extremely competitive.
This cutthroat competition isn't only in daily practice, where some people will steadily run even without the trainer's urging, but also in continuously participating to max out 'Saichang suitability' and 'Saichang experience'.
Although the latter is generally not advocated.
Even having such a derisive nickname as the 'Battle-Scarred Madman Cup,' but that's only a consequence of going too extreme.
Just strike a balance.
Aomo Lindun, who has lived over a decade in the East Yan Culture sphere, also likes to strike a balance.
Since too many matches accumulate fatigue and ruin the athlete's running condition, and may even lead to psychological abnormalities, we should set a precise 'appropriate amount' standard; coincidentally, perceiving and quantifying the mind is also an area where demons are fairly skilled.
Then it's time to go into battle.
The Gatekeeper Mud Derby, the Short Distance Horse Championship, the Terra Prize (Autumn), and then the Autumn Splendor Prize—these are mostly the tracks of the ancient horses.
And during that period, the classic-year GIs are mostly local events, scattered across multiple cities in the Federation; indeed, they lack competitive intensity, and are more about feeling the atmosphere while staying alert for the appearance of certain 'enemy assassins'.
An obscure dark horse suddenly bursts out from the local GI Saichang——such stories are not uncommon in the Federation's horse racing history.
But most of them cannot achieve a respectable result, unable to leave a legendary trajectory on the central Saichang.
But trainer Aomo Lindun obviously won't let his guard down because of that.
He will only continue to gather data on the competing athletes using that always rather subtle, safety-law-sensitive method, conducting research and targeting them with utmost seriousness.
Frankly, this cutthroat trend is quite suited to his style of trainer, like a fish in water.
——Because of the high-intensity cutthroat atmosphere, it's easy to obtain recent information about the competing horse girls, making it hard to be caught off guard.
——Even because of the highly information-driven era, there are many professional judges who analyze the competing horse girls; the more popular a horse girl is, the more Aomo can obtain useful insights for reference.
At this point, if a horse girl suddenly deviates from her norm, not racing for several months, then mysteriously enters this race, it really feels like something uncanny to anyone.
Although this is also a sort of open ploy, designed so that you 'know there's a problem but can't analyze it, only able to respond on the spot,' trainers and horse girls who can endure and suppress that much actually do not exist.
Taking the cost of several months of career blank period, or participating in some small fry fish‑blasting competitions, to gamble on a chance to ambush and assassinate a strong opponent…… This business, in the present day where opinions differ, still has no one daring to take it; on the contrary, during Aomo's tenure, the Qianming representative who hasn't competed in any event besides the Dream Cup has continually been portrayed by the media in this way.
Kids, this isn't funny.
If Qianming's leg condition had improved, Aomo wouldn't have had to keep Qianming on the sidelines while letting Sirius and Bai Ren take turns competing in the Qiu Gu Horse Race, and would have had Rudolf look after her more.
What kind of ten-year sword-forging endurance — it's simply because that brown-haired horse girl's current condition is a one-time crash cannon; you can't just casually pick a race and ruin it.
For this reason, he hasn't spared giving the other party overt and covert psychological counseling during this period, yet the other party still, with their usual unyielding, traceless determination, pulls against him, and moreover, together with other horse girls, shows some suspicious cooperation.
This indirectly raises the difficulty of his management; under such busyness, if he were to be disturbed by a sudden release of some Ao Gu Du beast, adding new 'care clauses' would be a relatively light price—what Aomo fears most is indeed their temporary poor condition, yet he himself happens to be absent at that time.
The demon thought: It's time to activate the new Puppet MKIII.
The safest solution is indeed to recall the new camera protagonist.
