Danger Approaches

Baisha City has been getting increasingly lively lately. Police cars frequently shuttle through the streets and alleys, and in just a few days, news of captured fugitives has been everywhere.

The locals of Baisha City know that flight cameras are being successively replaced in places with high traffic.

Passersby familiar with GD Racers noticed that these flight cameras are the same model as those used in the tournament.

This inevitably leads people to suspect that Liang Xing Toys Factory has some kind of collaboration with the police.

Although it's a bit ridiculous to associate toys with the police, many people are connecting A Lie's livestream accident—the one where Goblinmon appeared—and his claim that it was special effects.

There were indeed police officers asking questions at the end of that stream. Irresponsible speculation from netizens turned out to be correct!

A Lie hasn't been streaming these past few days, just to avoid being questioned by viewers.

On October 18th, the thirteenth day of the ninth lunar month, Liang Xing's 22nd birthday, the teaser trailer was uploaded simultaneously across the entire internet.

A Lie finally had a legitimate reason to start streaming again.

In reality, he didn't need to stop streaming at all; Liang Xing hadn't asked him to keep it a secret.

However, he felt that a simple verbal description wouldn't be enough to convey the shock he experienced at the time, especially before the official promotional video was released.

Although the video's effect still wasn't as real as experiencing it in person, the promotional video was mainly intended to give the locals of Baisha City a heads-up.

Don't make a fuss. As long as you don't act recklessly, Digimon generally won't actively attack strangers.

Liang Xing still has that much integrity.

If it hadn't been A Lie on the scene at the time, he definitely wouldn't have let Goblinmon use its special move on him.

??? A Lie, get out here! Didn't you say it was special effects? Your special effects are broadcast live in sync?

The most upvoted comment in the promotional video's comment section specifically called out A Lie.

If they hadn't seen the promotional video today, they really wouldn't have thought much of it.

After all, they only saw Goblinmon appear, and after A Lie explained it away, the viewers who were just there for fun joined in the commotion. Those who genuinely questioned it were mostly drowned out by the barrage of lively comments and could only investigate privately or through private messages.

But ultimately, the incident happened suddenly, and the livestream was cut off, so they had no other way to learn the truth.

Given the parallel world's crackdown on rumors, no one dared to openly discuss it—for fear of being labeled as spreading rumors.

At most, it would become a city legend, but even three-year-olds in the parallel world know that those things are fake.

For various reasons, they didn't learn the truth until the promotional video was released.

Everyone had only one thought in their minds—that dog A Lie had deceived them!

Could this be considered retaliation for their previous mockery in the livestream?

In any case, A Lie's return to streaming has caused his popularity to soar, rivaling his championship win at the recent tournament.

At the same time, three foreigners also exited the Baisha City Airport.

"What's that flying in the sky?" (Common Federation language; unless otherwise specified, all conversations will be in the official language)

"I don't know. Let's find the agent first."

"Hey~ hey! We should relax first! This is Huaxia!"

The three were all black-skinned, tall, and muscular men.

Standing at the airport entrance, people had to walk around them.

"Look! The men of Huaxia are afraid of us. Hey—! That girl from Huaxia is looking at me; she likes me!"

"Control yourself." One of them—codenamed Black Demon—ignored him and hailed a taxi, carrying a duffel bag.

"Colorful International Hotel." His Huaxia language was very fluent, and the taxi driver gave them a second glance.

"Your Huaxia language is really good. What do you do?"

"Teacher! We are all teachers!" Another one—codenamed Teacher—also had a rough grasp of Huaxia language.

He took the initiative to chat with the driver and inadvertently learned what those little things flying in the sky were.

"Those things are awesome! They've caught all the fugitives these past few days!" The driver's words were certainly an exaggeration, but the public security in Baisha City did seem a bit uneasy recently.

The police were out on the streets catching people every day, and every time they caught a fugitive. Unless they had completely changed their appearance, there were basically no fish that slipped through the net.

"Get out of the car!"

"Stop the car ahead!" (Huaxia language)

"What's wrong?" The driver was a little confused. Why did they suddenly want to get out of the car when they were having such a good conversation?

"Thank you, driver!" (Huaxia language)

Black Teacher paid and got out of the car without saying much else.

The three looked around to make sure there were no small flying devices before lowering their hat brims and hurrying away.

"Weirdos," the taxi driver muttered, but he didn't think much of it.

These professional drivers have seen countless oddballs.

He'd even heard of people jumping out of moving cars!

Getting out of the car halfway through the ride is too common.

But before long, the driver was stopped by the traffic police.

"Excuse me, sir. Could you please identify if these three people were your passengers just now?"

The traffic police showed their credentials and the recording. This wasn't the first time the driver had cooperated with the police, so he reacted after a slight pause.

"I knew those guys were no good! They got out of the car near Baisha University Jinhu Campus, got in at the Jinhu intersection. Oh dear! My son studies there!" The driver got anxious and was about to pull out his phone to make a call.

"Sir, sir! Don't worry!" The traffic police quickly stopped him. He couldn't let him make that call.

The three people were only suspicious, but there was no confirmation of any real danger.

His panicky call to his son might do more harm than good.

"Think again, was their destination Baisha University?"

"No! They were going to the Colorful International Hotel, then suddenly said they wanted to get out."

The traffic police made a gesture of understanding and quickly contacted the relevant police officers in charge of the review.

"Sir, don't worry! My colleagues are already on their way. It's not the terrorist attack you're thinking of, so don't scare your child."

The traffic police comforted the driver, who agreed verbally but secretly contacted his son as soon as he turned around.

"Apply for leave now! Leave the school immediately!"

He didn't care if it was a terrorist attack or not; he just felt unsafe.

At most, he was helping to keep it a secret, but he demanded that his son leave the school quickly.

On the other side, the police also arrived at the Jinhu Campus of Baisha University, and plainclothes officers were also stationed near the Colorful International Hotel to monitor the entrances and exits.

At this time, half an hour had passed since the three foreigners got out of the car. The police officers heading to Jinhu Campus picked up a stolen car case along the way.

If there were no accidents, it was most likely done by the three foreigners.

Then it could be basically confirmed that these three people definitely had a problem!

They were deliberately avoiding Huaxia police officers!

At the same time, the stolen car had already carried the three people close to their destination.

"Stop here! Thank you, young man. I hope you won't make things difficult for us. Keep driving forward." (Huaxia Language)

The three got out of the car, leaving only a coerced college student.

He had just been beaten and was indeed frightened.

So he didn't call the police immediately, but honestly drove forward along the road until he was stopped by the traffic police, and then he burst into tears and sought help.

He swore!

He would go straight home in the future and never go to internet cafes again!
