Chapter 1740 NO.356: Beelzebumon:?
“It’s really endless.”

"Who says it's not true? It's our turn to do the work here, and we are used to it."

"You are used to it, but this is my first time here."

On the other side of the direction where several troublemakers tied with dark chains were taken away by the Fallen Angel Digimon, several Ghostmon who were responsible for the aftermath of the scene and the restoration of the terrain were working, chatting and complaining about the unfairness of fate.

"I thought things would get easier when I saw Lilithmon-sama's Demon King's army intervene, but I didn't expect that they would be killed by the Royal Knights and there would be no replacements. As a result, we have to risk our lives to fill in."

"That's a Royal Knight. Those who haven't reached the Ultimate Form aren't qualified to go forward. Even if they reach the Ultimate Form, they may not stand a chance."

"So amazing? How did you know that?"

"Go check the network in the human world. You can't stay in the dark zone forever, right? You're always in danger. Since you're already getting paid, why don't you try to expand outside?"

"What does this have to do with wages?"

"Those humans can be bribed with money, and you can ask them to take you out to see the world."

"Ah? The higher-ups don't care?"

"There are so many Ghostmon, the higher-ups probably don't care about the ones that escaped, and the threshold to bribe those humans is quite high. First of all, you have to find a way to contact humans. Whether it's those in the control room or those clients disguised as Digimon."

"Do you have any connections? You've looked up information, so you must be very experienced!"

"There's no way. We have to find it on the spot!" Senior Ghost Beast sighed, but the repair tool in his hand was still moving skillfully.

“Neither the people in the control room nor the customers here are permanent. You never know when a new group of people will come. You can only take a gamble immediately after finding the right person. The person who helped you last time may not help you next time. It’s even possible that he will cheat you!

"The humans here are really bad."

“But we are also bad,” the younger generation asked puzzledly.

"But they are even worse!" the senior emphasized seriously.

"That's what our predecessors warned us about. Later, they all disappeared one after another. So we have to be extra careful when using humans."

Finally, he changed the subject: "But it has to be when you can recognize humans and talk to them about mutual assistance."

"That sounds like trouble."

"But if we stay here forever, we won't have any troubles even if we die," the senior sighed, looking into the distance where the roar came again, "There's another fight, and if we get caught in the aftermath, we'll be in big trouble."

"What the hell? They're fighting again. Didn't the captain say that these people were very cautious after entering the camouflage state?"

"Everyone is pretending. They are indeed cautious. It is said that the human who made the rules wanted to create a cautious atmosphere where everyone is alert and confront each other to reduce the chances of conflict."

The first thing that suddenly broke into the conversation was a long staff with a hook on the end. The other two ghost beasts who were chatting immediately straightened up when they saw it:
"team leader!"

"Once you've finished your work, move to another place. If you stay here, be careful of being caught by other team leaders and asked to do your work for you."

The Skeleton Satanmon, who was laughing hideously, said softly.

【

Skull Satamon/Skull Satanmon, perfect form, immortal type, virus type, pursues power and destruction, and eventually becomes a fallen angel Digimon that fell into the dark area. But because of this, he was refined to be more evil.

"Confrontation can't eliminate conflict, and fighting and killing are not uncommon," the white spots in the dark eye sockets of the skulls passed by the commentary, and all turned toward the distant buzzing. The captain of the fifth engineering team, Skull Satanmon, also expressed some feelings as an experienced person, "After all, most of the humans who come here are not gentle and kind."

"Then... Captain, do you know any kind-hearted guys?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" He knocked on the other person's head and then 'bowed' to the junior who had no neck and could only lean. The senior suppressed his nervousness and said quickly, "Captain, I'm sorry, this guy is here on his first day and his brain is not very good." "It doesn't matter, I'd rather say I want to get to know him, a gentle and kind fat sheep. We who are not qualified to be granted the protection of the king can't see each other clearly like other guests. After all, we can only rely on observation."

"Well... in that case, would Darkmon and BlackLionmon be good candidates?"

"You are getting even more aggressive!"

"Hey~, don't be so strict, No. 2, let's talk while flying. Although I don't know what you think exactly, the humanoid Dark Warrior's mimicry does not represent humans. The ones who really look more like humans are the shifty Scoutmon and Sakuyamon next to Darkmon."

"Eh? Sakuyamon? Why?"

"Digimon that look like human women are very popular in the human world. Even their appearance is the same. Both males and females are keen on mimicry. The same is true for Angewomon, Melvamon, and Rosemon. If you see them, you can assume they are human."

"So that's how it is! Thank you for your guidance, Captain!"

"It's just a few words. You should be careful not to talk to customers during working hours. If the guards use this to harass you, you will be in trouble."

"Ah, absolutely not!" The senior once again took the initiative to speak up, and once again pressed down the younger generation who seemed to be distracted, "We will definitely not cause trouble for the captain!"

"Ah, yes."

"But you have to listen to what I say. It's rare to find a ghost beast that is willing to ask questions and knows how to think. You two have a bright future, provided you can survive in this position."

If you live longer, you will have some value to be utilized.

Such words would never come out of his mouth, but as it flowed through the blackened digital core in the middle, a dull bang and a sharp scream were heard.

That's a person.

A human male whose true entity is revealed as he is difficult to disguise as data during a high-speed sprint.

He flew past him with a relatively calm attitude, as if he was speeding, and created a gust of wind and waves that was enough to knock down two of his subordinates nearby.

And at the place where he came from - a giant beast with skin as big as a corn cob rose from the ground, allowing Tacticmon to meet it with an equally huge body for a few seconds, and then the stunning Jesmon came again!
But I shouldn't pay attention to the source...

The reason for his regret was the black and red blade light that passed through his body at the same high speed and the shark-tooth projectile that pierced through his core.

The cold light came from the finger blade slashed by the distorted and restless young man who also had a poor camouflage at high speed and belonged to the dark beast.

There is a faint trace of a card between the seemingly blunt fingers.

But compared to that subtle detail that seemed like an illusion, the three-barreled shotgun held in the hand of Sakuyamon next to the young man was something abrupt and conspicuous.

And that should have been the most unfamiliar thing to a Digimon like SkullSatanmon who had found a safe position to live, but it made a sense of familiarity surge in his data core with a crack that was gradually widening.

It's like, I've seen it somewhere.

It seems like I've heard it somewhere before.

Three-barreled shotgun shells, bullets wearing masks...

Beelzebumon...sama...?
Or……

What? As the bullet hole began to dissolve and the pitch-black Digi-Egg took shape, all thoughts and words came to an end.

The life of SkeletonSatanmon ended here, but the subordinate of Demonmon who was standing next to him was not hit directly by the blade but was pierced by the bullet with eyes and self, and was able to continue his little thoughts and words on his behalf before his death.

"Beelzebumon...sama...?"
