Chapter 1809 No. 426: Lucemon: The world is changing so fast
The entrances and exits of the Mirror Market are always busy, and always highlight the comprehensive diversity in terms of race, dress, appearance, etc.

However, comprehensive diversity often means the stacking of too many complex elements.

This can be visually tiring.

It will draw everyone's attention to the entrance itself.

Therefore, it is often difficult for the police to find decent witnesses to the case here.

They just quickly checked and searched the artificial intelligence surveillance at the entrance and exit of the mirror market. If there was a result, it would be a good thing; if there was no result, it didn't matter.

There are other angles of investigation. There is no need to focus on this place where there is already too much traffic.

then……

Then they would first run to certain locations around the entrances and exits of the Mirror Market.

Check the surveillance once again and trace the movement of materials in the local area.

However, the devil is always stronger than the good. The places they prioritized for investigation would also become the vigilance points for some people in the criminal circle to do the opposite. For example, the blond man in a black and white suit - after he walked out of the exit of the Mirror Market, he directly avoided the five nearest alleys, three bars, four illegal Internet cafes and twelve small hotels and B&Bs...

However, he did not travel along the avenue, but chose an open-air seat in a beverage shop and lit up the ringing terminal during a brief stop.

"Hello~ who's there?"

"it's me."

"It's really like the sun is rising in the west. You actually took the initiative to contact me here?"

"There is no such thing as the sun in the Dark Area, Lucemon."

"But there are in the human world~ Barba, do you want me to take a picture of you? It's just an artificial sun though."

"No need. I'll stop wasting time on polite talk. I've heard some rumors, like Baalmon X brought a human child to the palace, and that the three archangels and ten warriors have slowed down their preparations for war. What do you think?"

"What ideas could you have? It's a meeting notice," the man said briskly, "You're really cunning to come and discuss this with me~ Barba."

"Stop pretending, Lucemon. You and I both know what this means!" Barbamon was very dissatisfied. "There may be a traitor among us, or there may be an idiot who leaked the news. No matter which one it is, we should not rush to hold a meeting."

Not to mention that the threshold for holding an emergency meeting is high. Between a large number of lives and a demon king, you have to choose one to sacrifice. How can you just hold it like this bastard?

"Then you came to me, right?"

The frivolous and casual tone suddenly stopped, and even the smile lost its warmth in those facial features that were clearly smiling.

"Is it possible that you are that idiot?"

“What?!” The old man, who naturally didn’t expect to be scolded like this, raised his voice eight degrees, “You actually…”

The words that were about to be hurled back were ready to be uttered, but suddenly they were stuck, and a new understanding emerged from the slightly changed tone of voice:

"…You mean constancy?!"

When people are in high positions and are threatened, the direction of suspicion is always clear.

They are often directed towards opponents with many grudges, third parties that pose a threat, people who have grudges but are strong enough in different fields, etc. They often have the common feature of being not too far apart in rank, because in their subconscious, only opponents with equal social status and power can be considered threatening.

This understanding is the same for Digimon, and even more thorough. Because the world they live in is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak, which is much purer than the human world.

So when Barbamon heard Lucemon.Fallen Form say that he had leaked the news, although its first reaction was to be unable to accept it, its cunning nature still helped it to assume and understand the meaning of the other party's words based on that premise.

In this hypothesis, the candidates it suspected were not completely clueless, but rather too clear. If it was transforming into another Digimon and walking outside the temple, then its first suspects would actually be Great Dracomon and some Demon Kings, but it had indeed moved to its base camp on purpose.

The original intention was to conduct secret communications, and before the communication, the surrounding attendants were specially dismissed. Even if there was a leak, it would at most be superficial information such as "there was a secret communication" instead of being alert enough to make an illogical response.

Slowing down the pace of preparations... It's like they got the core intelligence of the plan directly, and realized that everyone was taking advantage of the murderous atmosphere they created. But what is this guy Lucemon. Fallen Form talking about?
It would be fine if he used those brainless idiots like Demonmon and Beelzebumon, but how could he be the one who leaked the information?

How could such a secretive process of mine be exposed... No, it's not completely impossible.

As a greedy demon king who has survived from ancient times to the present day, Barbamon's experience and knowledge are fully worthy of his lifespan.

Although he has Alzheimer's disease in the area of ​​'knowledge monetization', that is an operational problem during action. As an advisor and think tank, his brain is quite quick-witted and he immediately remembered some secrets that the young demon king and the long-sleeping demon king did not care much about.

For example, the only God in the digital world is no longer the only one.

For example, the new god is actually more "passive" than his predecessors. The fact that his existence is still a secret until now is enough to prove that he does not even have a decent organization of believers, let alone the awareness of appearing in public.

But these are not the key points. The most important thing is that although the presence of that god is so thin that it is almost non-existent, it is precisely because of this that it is dangerous enough.

Anyone can ignore a god who is ignored by nature but exists everywhere, except those with ulterior motives.

He has always been the first priority that Barbamon is wary of, but no matter how vigilant he is, most of the time he is really irrelevant and there is no need to mention him. Even if he is at the highest priority of Barbamon's vigilance, he is just a collectible covered with dust.

Even when he wants to show off his collection to customers, he won't mention it proactively. He only becomes aware of it after the customer on the other end of the communication clearly expresses his intention.

“But is it really Him?”

Barbamon subconsciously looked around his own palace where all kinds of treasures were on display, as if the other party would suddenly appear and look at him.

But obviously, it wouldn't be happy if that happened.

After all, regardless of whether it is true or not, once it is proven to be true, it means that at this moment it will be a very ironic phenomenon: those idiots in his eyes did not leak the information, but he was the one who unconsciously leaked the information every time he came to find Lucemon?

The more you claim to be wise, the more you can't stand being too smart for your own good.

If this is not a case of being too clever but a fool defeating the master, the latter will be unable to hold on.

Although Constancy is not stupid, if it is Him, He does not have much technical content:
I'll just hang up next to you, I'll listen to whatever you say.jpg
Just this one action destroyed all my preparations?
Fortunately, it heard the other end of the call say: "Not sure."

"But you really should reduce contact, Barba, whether it's me here or there."

"If you have any ideas or considerations, go and tell those guys. Don't call me if you don't have anything to do. I'm not interested in your little calculations."

"You guy!"

Just when he felt somewhat relieved, his initial dissatisfaction started to rekindle. Just as Barbamon was about to carry out the most classic stereotype of Digimon and give the man a shock via the Internet cable, the man hung up the phone cleanly and neatly.

"Hello? Hello!!"

"What an impatient old thing..."

This is how the person who hung up the phone lamented.

He looked at the call duration displayed on the light screen with annoyance.

"Is it that guy? Isn't it just based on his reaction over the past few days?"

Alright!

He stood up from his chair and clasped his hands together as if to shake off his worries.

Don’t think about that old thing that ruins your mood. It’s a rare opportunity for you to come to the human world, so you should personally learn about the developments over the years...right?

His heart suddenly began to palpitate, as if even the sky in his sight was covered with a heavy shadow. He almost froze in place, and only after the gaze that seemed to be examining him moved away did he begin to look with deep breath at the black-armored figure that mingled with the crowd and walked into the entrance of the mirror market.

I have indeed felt that things are changing extraordinary each day.
