"Vampire urban legends?"
Zero and the Yagami siblings looked bewildered, while Rina enthusiastically scrolled through the paranormal forums.
Recently, trending topics on that site had shifted several tis.
Previously, it was the guy who snapped that blurry Kuwagamon photo hidden in the clouds, sparking heated discussions. But that story soon cooled off—no matter how vehently he swore it was real, he couldn't provide a shred of additional proof beyond that single snapshot.
Proving the existence of an unknown creature from a single photo nowadays... seriously? It wasn't like the good old days when a blurry image could sustain a Nessie legend for decades.
Besides, these forums were packed with veteran paranormal enthusiasts; blurry, questionable photos paired with three-thousand-word essays popped up almost daily.
One lonely, unverifiable photo without other witnesses faded fast.
For Zero, that was ideal. No matter how he looked at it, now wasn't the ti to reveal Digimon to the public. Doing so would inevitably spark widespread panic.
In the original series, Digimon crises beca public only after full-scale invasions made hiding impossible. Normally, governnt agencies and protagonist teams alike tried their hardest to conceal Digimon from public knowledge.
Other than the Kuwagamon sighting, the forums had two more hot topics lately: the mysterious hacker organization "DM Group" and the vampire urban legend.
DM Group's existence had already been verified, but their identity remained unclear. Several hacker groups jumped out claiming to be DM, only to be rcilessly debunked by tech experts in re hours.
Those were just attention-seeking posers. The real DM Group remained utterly elusive.
"A hacker group…? Why are paranormal enthusiasts interested in that?" Taichi asked, genuinely confused.
Rina laughed and quickly explained, "Paranormal enthusiasts have a really wide range! Not just ghosts or monsters, but anything 'unknown' or 'strange'—including aliens, UFOs, and mysterious occurrences—falls within their interests~!"
This ti, DM Group gained attention because they'd earned the nickna "Cyber Ghosts"…
…So people even believed DM wasn't human hackers at all, but rather entities beyond human understanding causing trouble.
Paranormal fans evolved with the tis—just because sothing involved technology or the internet didn't an paranormalists lost interest.
Thus, the idea of a "Cyber Ghost" naturally erged…
"Cyber Ghosts, huh…? Hahaha. Well, in this case, they're actually right by accident…" Taichi laughed awkwardly. Though their speculation was wildly imaginative, DM Group really wasn't human—it was Digimon, beings beyond ordinary human comprehension.
"Anyway, although this DM Group topic is popular right now, even top hacker groups can't catch them. Normal people have even less chance, so leaving it alone should be fine…"
After all, if even tech-savvy hackers couldn't track down DM, how could ordinary folks with zero technical skills?
At most, ordinary people just watched from the sidelines, unlikely to discover the deeper truth or accidentally expose Digimon.
Even if one or two lucky souls did stumble upon sothing strange, burying those rare "truths" discovered privately was easy enough.
Just like that poor Kuwagamon guy—he'd found the truth, but who'd link his discovery of so weird creature to DM Group now? Everyone dismissed his "truth" as nonsense.
"The 'truth' was right there, pinned on the forums all this ti, yet nobody took it seriously. Of course, you can't really bla them…"
Without insider knowledge, who'd ever connect those dots?
The Kuwagamon incident had settled, DM Group wasn't a concern, but the real problem lay in the third hot topic currently burning up the forums:
…The vampire urban legend.
At least seven confird victims so far. "At least," because no one knew if others had gone unnoticed.
Victims were all hospitalized due to acute anemia, losing far more blood than dically possible—two were even in critical condition.
All seven were males between twenty and forty, with no clear connections or shared backgrounds.
They couldn't recall exactly what had happened, only ntioning encountering a mysterious white-haired woman at night.
White hair, red eyes, a beautiful girl roaming the night… and a vampire on top of it all…
"...She really checks all the boxes, huh?" Zero couldn't help blurting out. Taichi and Hikari tilted their heads in confusion.
"Boxes? What boxes?"
"…Ahem! Nothing, nothing!"
Damn, I forgot these two are still elentary students—and we're in Japan, where age ratings on entertainnt are strictly enforced. It's not like back in China, where plenty of elentary kids casually browsed R18 stuff…
Zero quickly hit the brakes. He absolutely couldn't corrupt these pure-hearted elentary students.
On the other hand, Rina was smiling mischievously. "Zero-kun~ About those 'boxes' you ntioned~ Maybe later you could co to my room, and we'll discuss those details very 'carefully,' hmm~?"
"...I deeply apologize! Please spare !"
Zero instantly reverted to his Agumon form, dropping into a perfect dogeza…
Gatomon giggled beside him, suddenly realizing sothing, and glanced mischievously at Hikari.
"Hikari, help Digivolve~"
"Eh?"
Though puzzled, Hikari complied. Amid the glowing light… Angewomon appeared, striking an elegant pose.
"Based on these descriptions, I'm reminded of soone…"
The sacred angel placed one hand on her hip and stroked her chin thoughtfully. Zero grimaced, painfully turning away…
…I know your true nature is a rebellious wildcat, but could you please at least respect your angelic appearance? Your wings and holy aura are literally weeping right now!
"It was probably sothing like this~"
Angewomon suddenly stepped forward, scooped Hikari into her arms with a smooth motion, and pressed the startled girl's face directly into her soft, white curves.
"…" Zero watched in speechless disbelief. "Couldn't you have just explained it verbally? Was demonstrating really necessary?"
"Hehe, just lightening the mood~"
Angewomon reverted back into Gatomon amid bright laughter. Snapping out of her daze, Hikari puffed her cheeks indignantly, pinching Gatomon's face in playful punishnt.
Well, their relationship certainly improved—but Taichi, standing awkwardly to the side, looked painfully lonely.
Zero stepped forward, patting Taichi's shoulder sympathetically. "Can't be helped. Little sisters always grow up eventually~"
"Eh? Wait, no, that's not—"
Taichi fumbled to respond, making Zero chuckle slightly. Though co to think of it…
…Little sister?
That brief flicker of emotion passed quickly. After all, he still rembered next to nothing about his previous human life, especially anything involving "family."
Shaking off those thoughts, he glanced at Haji, who was still cluelessly tilting her head…
…Zero had given up trying to explain those mature references to Haji. He felt guilty corrupting soone so innocent. Yet, knowing he'd probably have to trick her into fusing later only intensified his guilt.
"Anyway, this vampire legend is likely Digimon-related. Probably soone the Dark Army sent to the Real World, planning to stir trouble directly."
But catching her would be tricky. A single Digimon acting alone could easily conceal herself.
"So, from now on, we'll have to handle the Dark Army's attacks while simultaneously tracking down this Digimon hiding in the Real World, before she causes even bigger trouble, right?"
For now, LadyDevimon had rely created an urban legend—but there were actual victims, and that couldn't be ignored. Left unchecked, who knows how much worse she'd get?
By draining human blood and spreading her vampire legend, LadyDevimon was genuinely collecting human negative emotions.
...
Beneath the night sky, the white-haired, red-eyed beauty smiled seductively, luring several pierced, yellow-haired delinquents deeper into an alley.
Amid darkness, the woman's soft laughter mingled with the n's suggestive jokes—until suddenly, laughter turned into terrified screams.
One thug stumbled frantically from the alley, his arrogant grin replaced with sheer panic.
"Monster! Monster!!"
In his blind panic, he spotted a figure at the end of the street—a boy, clearly still a child.
"An elentary-schooler?"
Why was a kid out here?
The boy calmly approached, tapping rapidly on his laptop keyboard, and muttered quietly to himself:
"…Target confird. Let's begin, Wizardmon."
With those words, the boy stopped and smoothly snapped his laptop shut.
