They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 562 Interlude
Inside a temporary command post, the air was as still as lead.

White light illuminated a room full of solemn-faced military officers and government officials.

In front of them was a huge screen showing a battle between HerculesKabuterimon and Mammothmon.

Koushiro stood calmly at one end of the conference table. Beside him, Tentomon had reverted to its Rookie form and was curiously observing the humans with their various expressions.

"So you mean... electrons... phase... life from another world wants to invade our world?"

After a long while, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a cabinet secretary, tapped the smooth tabletop with his knuckles and repeated Koushiro's explanation in a dry voice.

"Yes, they are life forms made of data that broke through the firewall and came into our world, which is what you just saw."

Koushiro nodded in reply.

"It's incredible..."

"This creature is truly amazing..."

Upon hearing this, the other officials began to discuss it.

Based on the content presented in the video, the power displayed by the Digimon completely surpasses that of their conventional human weaponry.

If we could gain control of this power...

Thinking of this, several of the officials couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.

Currently, Digimon only appear in their country, which may give them an advantage.

Looking at these guys with their own ulterior motives, Koushiro couldn't help but shake his head. Even in this children's world, these politicians were still the same.

But this is fine...

"quiet!"

Just then, a man in his fifties, sitting in the main seat, spoke up, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Our first priority now is figuring out how to weather this crisis..."

The others quieted down upon hearing this and nodded in agreement.

"Izumi-kun, I approve your request. The technical staff at the National Intelligence Center will fully cooperate with you. But in exchange, you need to provide all the intelligence about the Digital World..."

Then, the middle-aged man looked at Koushiro and said.

"can."

Koushiro nodded; this was, after all, an exchange of interests.

As for how much to give and how to give it, that's up to him to decide.

An agreement was reached, and both sides got what they wanted.

With the intervention of official forces, a nationwide, comprehensive search was launched.

Meanwhile, in a hotel that had been temporarily requisitioned as a safe house, the parents and guardians of Taichi, Yamato, Sora, and the others were all summoned there by officials.

Then I was told about the Digital World...

Parents felt anxious upon hearing that their children were adventuring in another world.

Even though Koushiro repeatedly explained that Taichi and the others would be back soon, his anxiety remained unabated.

Half an hour later, the air in the open space in front of the server began to distort without warning, and data streams appeared, eventually converging into a human shape.

It was Taiichi, Yamato, Sora, and others...

"Taiyi!"

"Awu!"

"Beautiful!"

The parents were stunned at first, then burst into shouts of joy and disbelief, and rushed forward.

"Dad? Mom?"

Taiyi was stunned; he never expected to see his parents here.

Everyone else looked bewildered, clearly not expecting this.

"Taiyi!"

Yuko Yagami rushed forward and hugged her son tightly, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Other parents also gathered around, offering their concern and care.

After a brief, somewhat chaotic exchange of pleasantries, Koushiro walked in, and all eyes turned to him.

"Everyone,"

He looked around, his expression serious.

"Welcome back. But I'm sorry, we don't have much time to celebrate our reunion."

After saying that, Koushiro recounted the invasion by Myotismon and Kari's abduction.

"What did you say?!"

Taiyi's face instantly turned extremely ugly. The slight warmth he had felt from reuniting with his parents vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness and surging anger.

He grabbed Koushiro's shoulder, his voice trembling with excitement:
"Jia'er...she's been kidnapped?!"

"Calm down, Taichi."

Koushiro adjusted his glasses, which had been knocked askew by his movements.
"I went to your house as soon as I got back, but it was already too late."

The other party's goal is very clear.

Upon hearing this news, the children's parents were even more furious.

"No! This is too dangerous!"

Meimei's mother screamed.

"My Meimei would never participate in something so dangerous! What is your government doing?"

"That's right!"

Ah Zhang's father also stepped forward. Supporting his still-shaken son, he roared at the person in charge surnamed Gao Shi.

"Send a group of children to fight monsters?"

Stop blaming everything on the children! We pay so much tax every year, where are your troops and your weapons?!

"Sir, please calm down."

"We have already witnessed the power of that monster."

Conventional weapons have very limited effectiveness against them.

Fighting those Digimon—that's something only these Chosen Children can do.

The person in charge, named Gaoshi, was also quite helpless. He had recently witnessed the power of the Digimon on that battlefield.

That was definitely not an enemy that conventional forces could handle...

"I don't care whether I'm chosen or not!"

Taiichi's father, Yagami Susumu, this usually mild-mannered salaryman, now blushed and stood in front of Taiichi.

"He is my son! Not a tool for you to sacrifice!"

The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

"That's enough, Dad."

A calm voice rang out.

Taiichi gently pushed away his father, who was blocking his way.

"This is not a responsibility that others have pushed onto us."

"This is something we have to do."

Because only we can do it.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over his companions before finally settling on Koushiro.

"and,"

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"The one who was taken away is Jia'er, my sister."

"I must go and rescue her!"

Awa silently walked to his side, and Sora, Mimi, Joe... all the children stood behind Taiichi one after another.

Their adventures in the digital world have forged them into a true team...

The parents looked at their children, at the unfamiliar determination in their eyes, and were speechless for a moment.

They tried to stop it, only to find that the children who once needed their protection had unknowingly grown into this kind of person.

Just then, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

An intelligence officer rushed in, not even having time to salute, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement, and loudly reported:
"Report! Target located! The location of the Vampire Beast has been confirmed!"
