[Digimon 06] Purple

According to Fei He, the store has recently become popular with girls of all ages.

Most of the decorations in the store are pink in line with girls' preferences. All kinds of shiny trinkets are neatly placed in the glass counter, and the adorable plush toys of different shapes are piled up from big to small all the way to the ceiling.The clerks in pink uniforms covered with lace nimbly walked through the crowded crowds, and from time to time they could hear the energetic "welcome" sound coming from the door.

Clutching her schoolbag to her chest, Zi followed Feihe as she struggled to squeeze past a group of chattering high school girls, from time to time she had to be careful whether her feet would step on someone's shiny student leather shoes.After a while, she managed to leave the "high-risk area", but in a blink of an eye, she found that she had lost Fei He's figure.Zi looked around in the crowd looking for the school uniform of the same style as hers, but unfortunately the store was overcrowded, and she couldn't find Fei He at all.

She is really not suitable for such a place.Not daring to shout out, Zi had no choice but to hug the schoolbag in her arms tightly.

Just before she found Feihe, her eyes were attracted by something in the showcase.

It was a metal brooch in the shape of a feather.It adopts a unique hollow design as a whole, and the general pattern of feathers is composed of several smooth and winding silver lines, which hold a dark red rhinestone in the center of the jewelry like stars holding the moon.

Zi leaned against the counter and looked closely at the brooch.In her impression, Feihe likes this delicate and uncumbersome design the most, and this accessory itself is quite suitable for the meaning of Feihe's name.Thinking that Fei He's birthday would be in a few days, Zi began to weigh the wallet secretly and planned to buy this little ornament as a birthday present.

But this must be kept secret from Fei He.

She was thinking joyfully when someone patted her shoulder from behind unexpectedly, and then Feihe's bluffing voice broke through the noise around her and reached her ears, "Ah Zi, why are you here?! I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"Sorry, I didn't expect it to be so lively here, and I got separated accidentally."

"Well, forget it, follow me closely this time." After saying that, Fei He stepped forward to take her arm, and skillfully led her to a certain corner of the store.This side seemed to be more crowded than the rest of the store.Feihe managed to squeeze into the crowd with Zi, pointing to the rows of cloth dolls of different styles on the shelf and excitedly introduced to her, "This is it! This is the Fujii handmade doll that is very popular among girls recently. How's it going, isn't it cute?" Seeing Fei He's complacent look, it seemed as if all the dolls on the display rack were made by herself.

Zi looked in the direction of Fei He's finger.The wooden display rack was decorated with bows tied with pink ribbons by the clerk, and an oval sign with "Fujii" in handwritten characters was specially hung on the rack.The cute humanoid puppets are sitting on the shelves in rows, with different expressions, waiting for customers to choose.

"Indeed..." Zi nodded in agreement, but still didn't understand the meaning of Fei He's bringing her to this store.

"No, it's not here, it's that one!" Seeing that she hadn't found the "surprise" he wanted to give her after looking at her for a long time, Feihe couldn't help reminding her aloud, "In the corner of the third row the puppet."

Zi looked at the location Fei He said in confusion.After she saw clearly the puppet that Feihe was pointing at, she couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh, "It's too much, Xiaohe." That's what she said, but her face was full of embarrassment. With a faint smile.

"I told you," Feihe stretched out his hand with a smile, took the initiative to take the puppet off the display stand, and handed it to Zi, "This doll was basically made according to Ah Zi's appearance, right?"

Zi Ninjun couldn't help but took the doll "using her as the original model" that Feihe said.Whether it's the hairstyle, the color of the pupils, or the cold and indifferent expression on the face, they are indeed somewhat similar to her.Even the design of the clothes... She remembered that she had a similar navy blue beret with tassels.

Well, I always feel that if I'm not careful, it will turn into a horror movie... It's better to keep this idea secret from Fei He.

Zi's ​​thoughts were still wandering all the way, but Fei He didn't expect the puppet in his hand to be taken away. "It's decided!" Seeing Fei He holding the doll in both hands, he said to her seriously, "Why don't you just give this to Ah Zi!"

"Eh? Wait!" Feihe's whim made Zi a little surprised, "Xiaohe, this is too..." She always felt a little embarrassed to receive a gift for no reason, she hurriedly searched for an excuse in her mind, and wanted to Refuse Feihe's kindness with suitable excuses.

"It's okay, it's okay." When Feihe said this, he had squeezed into the crowd again and walked towards the cashier, "Anyway, my mother just put this month's pocket money into the card, so why don't you wait for it if you don't spend it?" Is it moldy?" She deliberately used a nonchalant tone, but she still couldn't hide the sadness in her tone.

Zi couldn't help but startled.

Those prepared excuses seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

Fortunately, the environment here was noisy enough to easily cover up her low sigh.

The scene in sight instantly turned into a blurry TV with bursts of white snowflakes flashing, and the sudden dizziness made Zi hurriedly reach out to support the display cabinet beside him.Fortunately, the blur in front of her eyes only lasted for a moment, and she saw Feihe not far away again holding the doll and approaching the cash register.But the surroundings were still buzzing with people, the toy store's advertisements were constantly repeated on the LCD TV hanging on the wall, and the background music was singing happily, the atmosphere was the same as usual.

Maybe something happened, but in fact nothing happened.

After calming down, Zi went through the crowd again and squeezed in the direction where Feihe was.She hadn't taken two steps forward when she heard a sharp electrical sound which was amplified ten times by the stereo and played out. The piercing noise went straight into her ears without any precautions.

She subconsciously shrank her body and raised her hands to block her ears together with the people around her to resist the damage to hearing caused by this terrible sound.Accompanied by the noise, there was a burst of bursting sound of light bulbs, which made the warm yellow lights surrounding the room disappear one after another in the gradually spreading darkness.The TV also stopped working, and the sound of electric current caused by a mechanical failure and the intermittent singing mixed in it did not know when they came to a stop in this dark environment.

But Zi seemed to be able to hear the continuous buzzing lingering in her brain, and felt dizzy for a moment.

"Ah Zi," came Fei He's voice, her eyes were darkened, she couldn't see Fei He's face clearly in the darkness, she could only judge her location by the direction of the voice, "Are you alright?" A hand that was so nervous that the palm was sweating constantly grabbed her wrist, and there was a faint rubbing sound unique to the packaging plastic bag during the movement.

"I'm fine, hurry up now..."

However, the second half of Zi's sentence was directly lost in a deafening explosion.

The overly bright white light replaced the silent darkness without any connection.Before falling into temporary blindness, Zi hurriedly closed her eyes forcefully, but her dry eyes still felt a stinging pain.

It just so happened that the phrase "TimeShift" floated into her ears along with the white light.

Regardless of the fact that she was still unable to open her eyes under the stimulation of strong light, Zi turned around vigorously to find the source of this familiar "spell".However, just after turning half a circle, she belatedly realized that her wrist was still tightly held in Feihe's palm.

"Zi, where are you going?" Her sudden movement made Feihe grab her even more uneasy.

For others, the sudden explosion completely broke the nerve to maintain calm, and the fear broke out overwhelmingly after losing the control it should have been.The customers in the toy store frantically crowded toward the not-so-spacious door.No matter what else they could do, the only thing left in their minds was the idea of ​​running away.

The pushing force from behind was astonishing. Zi had to hold on to the display case beside her to stabilize her body from being pushed down. In addition, she had to hold Feihe's hand tightly to prevent the two from getting separated.Fortunately, just following the pushing crowd, they managed to escape outside the toy store.

Seeing the pleasant afternoon sunshine outside the store again made both of them extremely grateful.

"What the hell is going on..." Fei He's eyes were slightly red, she wiped away the tears squeezed out of the lacrimal glands with her fingers between the stimulation of light and dark, talking to herself in fear.

Violet shook her head.She couldn't see what she looked like at the moment, and she might not be much different from Feihe.

Now a bunch of people—including the clerks working in the toy store—are surrounded outside the store, recalling the scene just now with lingering fear.Among them, several high school students dressed as bad girls were even more irritable in the face of this sudden accident. Their emotions, which had nowhere to vent, drove them forward to push the shop assistants, cursing and swearing a lot .

"Xiaohe, you wait here, I'll go check on the situation."

The incidents caused by bad guys made the scene even more chaotic.Thanks to them, this is the best time to return to the survey site.So Zi patted Feihe's shoulder comfortingly, and after saying this, he lowered his body and squeezed into the crowd again.

At present, most people's attention is attracted by the bad girl who provokes troubles, so she successfully avoided everyone's sight and slipped back into the empty toy store with all the lights out.

What she didn't expect was.

Looking at the situation in the store, Zi gently took a breath of cold air.

No one noticed when they were running away before. At some point, most of the goods sold—especially plush toys—seemed to be attracted by an invisible magnet, and they all stagnated on the ceiling.

There were no traces of charring at the scene, and there was no smell of gunpowder... It would be better to say that they only heard the sound of an explosion. Most of the messy scenes left in the store were caused by people fleeing in a panic.

While Zi was thinking, the giant magnet that might have been placed on the zenith suddenly lost its effectiveness.The fluffy dolls fell from the sky one after another, like a weird rain.

Seeing a chubby lion doll roll to Zi's feet.She bent down to pick up the puppet, and lovingly patted off the dust on the golden fluff around its head.It's a pity that only one lion doll can be treated so kindly, and the rest are scattered in other corners of the store, and no one cares.

Zi casually put the lion on the display stand of Fujii's handmade dolls that survived against the wall, then opened the schoolbag she had been holding in her arms, and took out her mobile phone from the bottom.

Abnormal phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense, and the sentence "TimeShift" that can be used as decisive evidence... Isn't the answer to this question simple?

In the relatively dark environment, the backlight of the phone suddenly turned on.Zili was in a store without a light source. From the phone address book, she found the email address that Molecule Beast had sent her before, wrote down her question on the email interface and pressed send.

——She didn't think it was a good idea to directly use XrosLoader and digital communication in public places, but fortunately, the "omnipotent" molecular beast in electronics actually thought of such a communication method.

Only ten seconds later, she received a concise and clear reply from Molecular Beast, answering her doubts: "It is the trap set by the hunter to hunt Digimon."

So, this hunter set traps in the real world, using the connection between the two worlds to hunt Digimon lost in the Digital Crystal Realm?

Zi Leng closed the flip cover of the phone.The only light source in the room was instantly extinguished and plunged into darkness.

Hunting Digimon is indeed based on one's own ability, but it is too much to affect the normal order of the real world for this selfishness.As far as this incident is concerned, a little carelessness will turn into a more serious stampede!

Thinking about it, the fire nestled in her heart ignited again, urging her to do certain things.

"...Zi?" Just at this moment, Fei He's low voice came from behind, tentatively.

Zi turned around in a jerk, and the dark figure of Feihe was slowly approaching her.Secretly complaining that she only cared about the Digimon and the hunter, she almost forgot that Feihe was still waiting for her outside the door, and almost took out the XrosLoader and impulsively went to the Digital Crystal Realm to teach the ignorant hunter a lesson.

"It's better for us to leave quickly," Feihe walked to her side, and she deliberately lowered her voice as if she was afraid of being discovered by outsiders, "The situation outside is very chaotic now, and some shop assistants have already called the police... If the police If you come here, I don’t know how much time will be delayed...Zi, don’t you still have to go to cram school?”

Zi patted her head annoyed, indeed she had completely forgotten about going to the cram school.

Farrar Beast is right.She does get angry easily.Hidden under her natural ice face is her impulsive disregard for others when she gets angry.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that since the other party has already launched a trap to catch the prey you want, how could it be possible to stay where you are and wait for her?

So she can't do anything at the moment, she can only follow Feiheshe and secretly leave the noisy center of the toy store, and take the opportunity to send an email to Molecule Beast asking it to investigate the incident.

"I'm sorry." In front of the subway station, Feihe handed the paper bag in her hand to her with a full face of apology, "I just wanted Ah Zi to see this puppet that looks very similar to you, but who would have thought that this would happen? about..."

"It's not Xiaohe's fault." Zi carefully took the paper bag with both hands, "And I should be the one to say 'thank you' for this gift you gave me." She treasured the puppet from the bag He took it out, stuck it next to his face, and deliberately put on the exact same expression as it.

Fei He's eyes flicked back and forth between these two faces with similar expressions, and he immediately burst into laughter, as if he had completely forgotten the haze caused by the accident just now.

Seeing that it was almost time for the cram school to start, the two girls waved goodbye.

Fei He stood where he was and watched Zi's departure.After Zi's back completely disappeared from her sight, Fei He turned around slowly and returned to the street where the toy store was located. "Are you ready?" Facing the direction of the setting sun, the chestnut-haired female student walking alone on the street with her schoolbag seems to be talking to herself, "Let's show some color to those brainless guys. Bar."

In the next second, a thin female voice sounded out of thin air, responding to her with a bit of laziness and determination, "Understood."

The author has something to say:

I basically typed this chapter on my mobile phone while I was at work... When I came back, I found that the number of words was -口-!

Then I coded the new chapter like chicken blood, because I saw it, um, there was already a comment to guess what happened to You's reaction =v=So I won't keep it secret, it's roughly like this~ only I hope that even if you know what will happen in the future, dear friends, you will not abandon me so soon QAQ I haven't had time to show my affection yet (heavy fog.

In the end PS, I just couldn’t imagine how a piece of jewelry would look good. Hehe, so I searched for treasures and found one that I liked and described it casually (““”)
