Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

The creepy scene made Bai Yi's heart tremble.

After opening several iron doors one after another, all I saw were extremely cruel and bloody scenes.

Some were covered in wounds; some had purple and blue faces, obviously having been poisoned for a long time; some had their first reaction upon seeing the light and freedom...

He actually knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowed towards the empty corridor, begging for forgiveness.

Who are they... and why are they treated like this?

Here... no!

What kind of existence is the Shion family?

When Bai Di first came into contact with the Shion family, he felt that since they were a family that could invent Shion's Hohan, one of the Seven Treasures, they must be a family with good conduct. He dared not say that all members of the family were people with bright hearts, but at least the head of the family and even most people were like that.

Gradually, the killing within the clan was seen by everyone as nothing more than the rotation of the clan, and was not a big deal.

only……

The actions of the current head of the family really made Bai Yi feel that the Shion family he thought of was really a kind family that was listed as one of the seven treasures of Qibao City?

Even...was the previous head of the family also such a person? Did he also have unknown secrets?

"叏思!"

Gengar reminded that the pursuers behind him had arrived and would soon meet Bai Yi.

"hide!"

Bai Di took a look twice, then used his virtual state to crash into a room that had not been opened yet. Gengar also crawled in along the shadows.

The outside world fell into silence in an instant.

In the monitoring room, the monitoring personnel also fell silent.

The other party's energy response disappeared. Either he went into a room like he had entered the basement before, or... he completely left the basement.

There are no surveillance cameras installed in these underground prison rooms. They were originally intended to be installed, but the surveillance personnel did not want to see those disgusting images every day, so they removed them.

I never thought that I would hurt myself today.

If the intruder is not found today, his head will probably roll in those prison cells.

"Everyone, open the rooms and search one by one!"

You don't have to find the person, just a little trace pointing in a certain direction or to another person, and you can escape the death penalty.

As for the other person...

None of his business!

……

Back here, after Bai Di randomly entered a room, he and Geng Gui held their breath and slowed down their breathing to avoid making any noise and being discovered by the people who were still patrolling outside.

"Gen Si?"

Why should I hold my breath? I don't need to breathe when I hide in the shadows.

"Hold your words."

The room was pitch black, and Bai Yi had no idea who the owner of the room he had entered looked like.

I don’t know whether they welcome me or not?

"叏思!"

Geng Gui stretched out his claws, poked into his throat and dug around, then pulled out a torch.

"Ignite?!"

The firelight instantly illuminated the dim room, but that was not the point. The point was...

"I know your mouth is connected to space, and I can tolerate putting living things in there, but it's outrageous that you put a torch in there and took it out and set it on fire."

Bai Yi looked at the bright torches, and the shock in his heart was no less than when he came to the underground level.

It seemed as if ten thousand Arceuses were running by.

"Geng Si geng Si~"

Gengar waved his hand, asking why he was so surprised by such a small matter.

But he didn't know how to restrain the smirk on his face.

"You're itching to get back to work."

"Hey~"

Gengar controlled the claws, held the torch and looked around, finally getting a rough idea of ​​the room.

It's... very clean here.

Unlike the rooms outside where even the blood had dried up, this room looked very ordinary, like a normal room for people to live in.

There is a toilet, a table, chairs, a bed, and all the basic facilities are available. Although there are no play equipment, compared to the people in other prison cells, this place is like heaven.

And on the wooden bed, a young girl was sleeping soundly.

The girl was wearing slightly dirty and worn clothes, and there was some dust on her face.

"This is……"

"Huh? It's dawn?"

The girl was awakened by the conversation between Bai Yi and Gengar. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.

He stretched as if no one was around and looked at Bai Yi with sleepy eyes.

"Who are you? You're not in the family, right? You're a new face."

The girl was not very alert, perhaps she thought she was already in this place and it seemed useless to be alert.

"Family...are you Shion, Miss Shion Ming?"

Bai Yi took out a photo from his arms, but unfortunately the girl's face was covered with dust, which made her look a little different from the photo, which was why Bai Yi didn't recognize her at first glance.

"Ah... I am, who are you?"

Miss Shion Ming nodded and admitted stupidly.

"What a coincidence! That's great! I'll take you away and the mission will be accomplished!"

The mission target is right in front of him, and Bai Yi just wants to take the other party away, so that Sanhua's mission is completed and the system mission is also completed.

It's a pity that the side quest was not completed...

Bai Yi thought with regret, but Ziyuan Ming shook his head, leaned against the wall, and rejected Bai Yi's idea.

"I think Aunt Yuan asked you to take me away, but no, I still have things to do."

"Huh?! Is there anything more important than your own safety?"

Ming's words put Bai Yu into a brainstorm, and movie plots such as deliberately getting captured just to infiltrate the enemy emerged in his mind.

"My second uncle said he knew where my father was, but he just wanted me to wait a few days. He said he would tell me where my father was in three days, and then I could leave on my own."

Ziyuan Ming blinked her eyes, her eyes were clear and she wasn't lying. It was obvious that she trusted her second uncle very much.

But the point is...

"Isn't that the current head of the family? He took over while your father was away. Look at his current reforms, they are completely contrary to your father and his people."

"Besides... weren't you the one he knocked out and brought here during the chaos?"

Bai Yi couldn't imagine that a man who was knocked unconscious and whose father's position as the head of the family was taken away could still trust others so easily.

"Eh? Really? I was wondering why Xiaojia and the others weren't around me anymore."

Shion Ming then reacted somewhat normally and habitually patted her left waist, where she hung the Poké Ball.

"Yes, so, you leave with me first, and we will go find Master Sanhua to ensure your safety first."

"No, my second uncle hasn't told me where my father is. I can't leave."

Shion Ming was resolute in his attitude, showing no signs of being shaken by Bai Yi.

"..."

Bai Yi was speechless. He couldn't imagine how the other person survived while traveling for a year. Would he really not be deceived and sold?

"How about this, you stay here with me and wait, and I'll go with you in three days."

Ziyuanming approached Baiyi and discussed.

"……wait……"

Bai Yi laughed angrily. After all, he had stayed here for more than ten minutes and his strength was almost recovered. He could continue to activate the psychic mask and return.

"If your second uncle really cared about you, why would he lock you up in a place like this? If he really wanted to tell you your father's whereabouts, why would he wait ten days instead of telling you right from the start? Why would he knock you out and go through all that trouble?"

Bai Yi really wanted to turn around and leave, but he hadn't completed either of his two tasks yet, and leaving now would only leave him with regrets.

"Well...but he is my second uncle, why would he want to harm me?"

Ziyuan Ming thought about it seriously and came to the conclusion that "he is my second uncle and he won't harm me", which made Bai Yi laugh on the spot.

"Forget it. I have no objection if you want to stay here, but I have a question that I want to ask you."

"No problem, just tell me."

When Ziyuan Ming saw that Bai Yi no longer insisted on taking her away, she also smiled happily.

"As your father's daughter and the heir of the family head's lineage, you will definitely make the real Shion Treasure Rice, right?"

"Yes, you want me to help you make it? But I don't have the ingredients. The other ingredients are simple, but the real Shion Hohan requires a very rare kind of grass leaf."

"Is it this one?"

Bai Yi took out the chaos grass that the old man had given him during the day from his arms.

"Hmm... no, it's a little dark and I can't see clearly, but the taste is not right. It needs to be lighter."

Ziyuan Ming leaned closer and smelled the chaos grass in Bai Yi's hand, then shook her head, indicating that this was not the right material.

"What about this?"

Bai Ji took back the chaotic heart grass, took out another leaf and handed it to Ziyuan Ming.

"Hmm... Hey! That's it! How did you get the material?"

Ziyuan Ming smelled it and jumped up with excitement.

Only the head of each family knows where to get this material. The rest of the people only know how to make it and use this leaf, but they don’t know what this leaf is called or where it comes from.

"...Is that so? Thank you."

Bai Yi retracted the leaf, and his eyes became more thoughtful.

The grass leaves handed to Shion Ming were the lavender leaves found in the ruins destroyed by the Dragonite at that time.

After an expedited investigation by Ms. Junsha, it was discovered that this was a plant called Heart-Confusing Grass. It was harmless to the body, but eating too much would cause mental depression, and it had an addictive feeling like smoking that drug.

Along with the Heart-Confusing Grass, it was considered a confusing thing and was once listed as a banned item that could not be used.

It was not until later that people began to study the dosage and use of adjuvants that these two herbs became popular again.

However... no matter how precisely the dosage is controlled, it will eventually cause irreversible damage to the body. The alliance generally only allows hospitals to use a small amount to treat certain diseases.

But now, one of the ingredients of the Shiyuan family's Shiyuan treasure rice is actually a banned poisonous weed...

But why did the previous head of the family use the herb of confusion when making the Shion Treasure Rice, while the current head of the family uses the herb of bewilderment?

Is the death of the previous head of the family related to these two herbs?

Bai Yu, who had just untied some of his thoughts, discovered that there was an even more complicated ball of thread ahead.

But at least what is certain now is that Baofeilong first ate the Aster Rice mixed with the Heart-breaking Grass made by the current head of the family, which caused him to go berserk, and then someone in the family lured him to Feiyun City to cause damage.

The purpose is to destroy the confusing grass?

Bai Yu told the system his speculation in his mind. This is the basic step in submitting puzzle tasks.

"Oh, the host is right. Then how did the Ziyuan family lure the violent dragon to Feiyun City, and how did they destroy the place with the confusing grass so accurately?"

“…Is there an attraction between these two herbs?”

"Yeah."

"So... the current patriarch is using the Heart-Confusing Grass to make the Violent Dragonite actively look for the Heart-Confusing Grass, thereby destroying the Heart-Confusing Grass from the root...

Because only the previous head of the family knows the location of the Heart-Confusing Grass, the old head of the family is unable to threaten the current head of the family.

In other words... the disappearance of the former patriarch was most likely caused by the current patriarch."

"Ding, my roommate has successfully found out the branch of the side quest - the Violent Dragonite, and received a reward..."

"Ding, the progress of the side quest Rescue Shion has been updated.

The former head of the Shion family, Shion Fuji, and his second brother Shion Kei had a conflict when they took over the position of head of the family. Because his elder brother succeeded to the position of head of the family, but his ambitious younger brother could only become a foil and assist his elder brother in managing the family. This made the ambitious Shion Kei very dissatisfied, so he designed to let his elder brother go out to collect the confusing grass, so as to..."

"Ding, the host needs to find out what Shion Kei did to his brother, as well as Shion Teng's current situation, whether he is alive or dead."

"Note: This mission has been changed to the Secret of Ziyuan. The score for rescuing Ziyuan Ming has been settled."

"Oh ho~"

The secret of the Shion family. It seems that the love-hate relationship between brothers is not the final outcome.

"This mission of yours is really long and boring. It's already been several rounds, and there are still follow-ups. If it doesn't work, just tell me that the Shion family is actually a big evil, so that I can improve my strength and destroy them."

Bai Di looked at the task list. Below the side quest representing the Shion family, while the progress was updated, there were several more question marks. Obviously, this task had several steps and several links to each other.

"Since you have chosen to stay, I will not stay any longer. I wish you good luck."

The reason why Bai Yu wanted to take Ziyuan Ming away was to improve the task score and complete the task.

Now that the main objective of the mission has changed and the score for this part has been settled, it doesn’t matter whether Ziyuan Ming is taken with him or not.

"Well... okay, then please tell Aunt Yuan and Sister Hua for me. I will go find them once I know where my father is."

Ziyuan Ming still believed that her uncle would tell her the answer, and then take her to find her father and reunite the family.

"……up to you."

After saying this, Bai Di turned around, walked across the room and left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his brain would be polluted by Ziyuan Ming, and it would be a waste of time if he became stupid.

"Hello, Miss Sanhua, I have something to tell you briefly..."

Bai Di quickly left Shion's castle and came to a big tree. He took out his mobile phone and called Miss Sanhua as soon as possible.

"…Fuck! How come that girl has become so ugly after not seeing her for a year?!

My thing doesn't look that big, but how come my brain is as small as earwax!"

After hearing Bai Yu's investigation results and meeting Shion Ming, Sanhua was so angry that she almost entered menopause early.

He started cursing while pressing the phone. The sound was so loud that Bai Yi was scared so much that he quickly put the phone away and almost fell off the branch.

"Forget it. I'll tell Mom about this. Let her worry about it herself. I can't do anything about it."

"Ouke Ouke~ Then I'll get busy first. This family is really interesting..."
