Digital Hackers' Memories

Something that could make a police officer and his colleague forget their backpacks and rush out in a hurry is definitely not a trivial matter.

"Just to be on the safe side, let's call the police first!"

Chapter Ten: Evolutionary Program

"Is this right here?"

A few minutes later, Makiko Date, who had already skillfully put on her police headset and was contacting her colleagues, asked softly.

"Yes, according to our data, the overpass tunnel not far ahead of you is one of the 'origin' points of this large-scale power outage."

At this point, the colleague on the other end of the headset emphasized it again.

"We are still unable to determine the true cause of this incident, so please be very careful."

Faced with her colleague's advice, Makiko Date patted her chest as usual and said firmly.

"I'll protect myself. Or do you think a few unknown hackers can take me down?"

This isn't just Makiko Date bragging. She was a delinquent who got into fights during high school, and later joined the police force for special training. Her fighting ability is definitely no less than that of a regular SWAT officer.

"We're not worried about you!"

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice came from the other end of the earpiece, along with the sound of the other person panting, clearly indicating that they had rushed over in a hurry.

"What I'm worried about are the hackers!"

"If you beat someone up and they end up in the hospital again, I'll put you in solitary confinement!"

"Not only that, I'm also going to deduct your bonus! You'll be eating instant noodles next month!"

Startled by the sudden voice, Makiko Date, after confirming that the other party was her direct superior, Goro Matayoshi, habitually pulled the earpiece away from her ear and only spoke again after the other party had finished venting.

"I understand, Uncle Ji."

Deliberately drawing out her voice, Makiko Date assured her boss in a slightly teasing tone.

"I promise I won't send anyone to the hospital this time."

"Damn it! I told you not to act recklessly!"

Clearly understanding the subtext in the other person's words, Matayoshi Goro, like his bosses who were furious with him, was also itching to get his teeth pounding with anger at his violent subordinate.

"If you weren't the only one nearby, I would never have contacted you!"

She shrugged indifferently. Anyway, Makiko Date knew that her boss was just saying that, and when the time came, he would definitely contact her as soon as possible.

"Mission accomplished, sir!"

And so, after reaching a unilateral "consensus" with her superior, Makiko Date finally revealed her capable and vigilant side as a police officer, groping her way into the dark tunnel step by step.

............................................................................................................

"Isn't this the new world?"

After a brief standoff, Allosaurus X seemed to realize the strangeness of this digital space; it was not the "new world" it had expected.

"where is this place?!"

Slowly lowering its head and adopting a crouching posture, Allosaurus X stared at the little foxmon blocking Piccolo's body and let out an angry roar.

Allosaurus X could tell that Mikomon was wary of it, just as it was wary of Mikomon.

In particular, the strange "mechanical eyeball" where the other party was hiding gave him a strange sense of crisis, which was no less than the X virus that infected him.

In fact, this is why Allosaurus X, which has strength far exceeding that of a mature-stage Allosaurus, remained vigilant when facing a mere juvenile Foxmon.

Otherwise, with the fighting instincts Allosaurus X honed in its original world, it would have already pounced on it and torn it to shreds.

This is the survival rule of the old X world, and it's also the guarantee that the Digimon there can survive in a world ravaged by the X virus.

"Would you believe me if I told you?"

Looking at the restless Allosaurus X not far away, Kokomon knew the nature of this type of Digimon well.

Before meeting Chen Ze, the little fox also had a similar mindset—only believing in the facts she saw and understood, and never easily believing other people's "sweet talk".

This was particularly evident in Allosaurus X. Kokomon even suspected that the other party's question was merely a test, and that its true intention was simply to find out its strength or weakness.

The little fox beast, who often defeats powerful enemies with wisdom and cunning, is well aware of this.

If I show even the slightest bit of cowardice, Allosaurus X will definitely hunt me down as its prey.

Regardless of race or sympathy, this is the instinct of all battle-type Digimon that have experienced a crisis.

"Do not believe!"

Just as Little Foxmon had imagined, Allosaurus X revealed a cold smile on its ferocious face, and then charged towards her like a tank.

"I hate this passive situation..."

Just as Allosaurus X was about to rush in front of him, the little foxmon, who had originally planned to take this opportunity to accumulate strength and evolve into a form even more powerful than Renamon, had no choice but to activate the "evolution program" that he had copied and rewritten from Chen Ze.

tumultuous!

In an instant, the data within the little fox beast's body changed and reconstructed in a predetermined way.

The "evolution program," written from pure data and the source code of the invaders, rapidly optimizes and replaces certain flaws, allowing it to be recombined in a more perfect way.

Little Fox Beast - Evolution...

Its body and tail were rapidly elongated, and two handguards bearing the Tai Chi symbol were also quickly forming...

As the near-human-like form appeared, a faint demonic aura emanated from her body, forming a flame around her that resembled a will-o'-the-wisp.

Will-o'-the-wisps and demonic energy mingled together, terror and nightmares merged into one.

This is the evolved form of the little foxmon, a form that only Digimon that has undergone special training and possesses superior intelligence and exquisite magic can achieve.

—Renamon!

tumultuous!

Within the ghostly flames, the newly evolved fox-like beast slowly emerged, its eyes as calm and sharp as ever.

No, now the fox beast's eyes are even sharper than before.

And that is indeed the case. After evolving into Renamon, she gained a deeper understanding of her own power, and her improvement in demonic arts was the biggest manifestation of this.

In addition, the optimization of the evolution program allowed Renamon to break through its previous limitations, resulting in a significant improvement in both strength and speed.

In other words, this evolution not only preserved all of Renamon's abilities from its prime, but also allowed it to undergo a further transformation, becoming even more powerful.

At this moment, even without using its strange demonic arts, Renamon could defeat a considerable number of powerful Champion-level Digimon simply by relying on its own strength and speed.

PS: Updates should be stable from now on.

Chapter Eleven Weapon Mode

"A fox-like beast?!"

Seeing the suddenly evolved Renamon in front of him, Allosaurumon X, despite being filled with surprise and confusion, still stubbornly charged towards it.

Temporary evolution during a crisis is not uncommon for Digimon like Allosaurumon X, which has fought countless battles.

Rather than pondering the opponent's sudden evolution, Allosaurus X's most common approach is to simply crush it.

Boom...

The road surface beneath my feet suddenly cracked open, revealing countless fissures.

Those cracks, extending half a meter deep into the ground, are enough to demonstrate just how formidable the power Allosaurus X is currently unleashing.

This is a unique attack method of Allosaurus X—tilting its head forward to maintain a horizontal posture, and then charging at high speed to completely pierce through the enemy.

—Explosive headbutt!

"Chen Ze!"

Seeing this, the fox demon beast, which was nearby, simply let out a soft, unassuming growl.

Because she knew that Chen Ze was still observing everything happening here through Little Bick's perspective.

And right now, I need the other party's help to defeat, or even hunt down, this powerful Digimon from an unknown dimension.

Xenomorphic data, powerful X-antibodies...

Any one of these things would be enough to tempt the fox-mon, an assassin whose goal is to "hunt down the strong".

............................................................................................................

"I knew things would turn out this way. Didn't I tell you to take the opportunity to hide?"

In the real world, Chen Ze, who was running while looking at his phone, couldn't help but curse.

Despite his repeated instructions to the fox beast to hide, it stubbornly chose to evolve and fight, fully demonstrating its obstinacy.

Fortunately, the "Growth Period Evolution Program" that I wrote was perfect enough to eliminate the "bad" evolutionary tendencies of the Light of Innocence and the Corruptor's source code to the greatest extent possible.

Otherwise, who knows what stage of growth the little foxmon will evolve into now, or whether it will have the ability to compete with Allosaurus X.

"You'll die from your own personality sooner or later!"

Despite his constant cursing, Chen Ze ultimately chose to support the fox demon beast.

"Confirm activation of 'Weapon Mode'?"

As Chen Ze swiped his finger across the "Mechanical Eyeball" app on the screen, a smart voice synthesized based on the voice of the fox spirit immediately entered his headset.

"Startup confirmed!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ze activated Little Bick's hidden "weapon mode" with his voice.

"Activating 'Weapon Mode', please wait..."

............................................................................................................

"Activating 'Weapon Mode', please wait..."

Hearing the voice coming from Piccolo's body, Renamon frowned, seemingly a little uncomfortable.

It's unclear whether she was uncomfortable hearing her own voice from Little Bick, or dissatisfied that Chen Ze had intentionally or unintentionally "forgot" to give her control over Little Bick's weapons.

Fortunately, Piccolo's transformation was fast enough that it blocked Renamon in a fraction of a second, completing the "weaponization" process.

boom!

Caught off guard, the massive Allosaurus X, like an out-of-control tank, crashed directly into the "tiny" Little Piccolo in its eyes.

tumultuous!

The next moment, Piccolo, which unfolded like a thin film, transformed into a reddish-white wall of fire, and Renamon took the opportunity to disappear from Allosaurumon X's sight.

"Ow!!"

A flame reaching 1,500 kilometers, combined with disrupted data, creates an overload impact...

Even Allosaurus X, a powerful Digimon capable of surviving the X-Virus invasion, couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

Silence!

Almost simultaneously, the ghostly and agile Renamon appeared behind Allosaurus X, its explosive demonic aura further enhancing its claws to the extreme.

—Fox Strike!

Clang!

In a daze, Allosaurus X seemed to hear a hallucination of a sharp blade being drawn.

Immediately afterwards, it felt a cut on its back, more painful than flames.

Tear!

The fox-like beast's eyes remained calm, almost to the point of indifference, as if it hadn't just successfully launched a sneak attack.

"Ow!"

In contrast, Allosaurumon X, which had been severely injured, was not so calm. Its instincts as a Fighting-type Digimon made it whip its tail and slam it into Renamon, who had no time to dodge.

—The dragon whips its tail!

Silence... Boom!

The instantaneous sonic boom tore through the air, and the ear-piercing roar deafened her in that instant.
