In an instant, the fire extinguisher descended from above and landed on his head with a bang!
“I’m really sorry.”
Leon looked at the security guard who had been knocked unconscious on the ground and said apologetically.
Just now, it was precisely the transparent Leon who had held the fire extinguisher and launched a sneak attack from behind.
Leon grabbed the security guard’s foot with one hand and dragged him into the surveillance room.
Koromon followed beside him and conveniently closed the door.
“Leon, what are we doing here?” Koromon bounced forward and looked at the dozen or so screens on the surveillance console inside the room as it asked.
“If the culprit really appeared in the supermarket, then they definitely left behind some clues in the surveillance footage…”
Leon sat in front of the surveillance console, flexed his hands, and said, “Now, we’re going to find them!”
Hearing Leon’s words, Koromon jumped onto his lap and watched the surveillance footage with him.
Leon rewound the time by several hours, then watched at accelerated speed.
There were not many people who came to the supermarket today.
It had even been empty for quite a long time in the afternoon, and only near evening did people gradually arrive.
Just like that, they watched all the way until 6:30 in the evening without finding anything unusual.
Time flowed on, reaching exactly seven o’clock, which was ten minutes before the bomb exploded.
A familiar figure appeared in the video — the man wearing the peaked cap.
His entire process of stealing alcohol had actually been captured by the surveillance cameras, but it had not alerted anyone.
“Looks like someone was slacking off at work.” Leon glanced at the security guard lying unconscious on the floor inside the room.
He continued watching, and another familiar figure appeared in the video.
A middle-aged woman stood in front of the toiletries shelf.
She looked around, then reached one hand into her pocket as if trying to take something out.
The culprit… was it really her?
Leon immediately became alert and watched carefully.
He saw the middle-aged woman secretly take out a red label and stick it onto a bottle of body wash.
Written clearly on the label was: 50%.
Holy crap, case solved!
Leon felt both amused and helpless.
No wonder that middle-aged woman had argued with the cashier earlier because of the discounted body wash.
Schemes, it was all schemes…
So… all of this had been directed and acted out by herself!
In that case…
The culprit could not be her either!
Leon felt terrible.
He glanced again at the countdown on the Digivice.
[2:50]
There were less than three minutes left before the bomb exploded!
“Damn it!”
Leon forcefully scratched his hair.
The more anxious his mind became, the more chaotic it grew.
He could not help suspecting whether he had overlooked some important detail.
At this moment, the surveillance footage time had already synchronized with reality.
He looked at the surveillance feeds before him.
One of them showed the cashier area, where several people were lining up.
At the front of the line was precisely the old grandmother in the wheelchair from before.
Wait! This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Suddenly, Leon thought of something.
That’s right, he had forgotten someone.
That old grandmother in the wheelchair!
Generally speaking, an elderly person in a wheelchair had limited mobility, so every movement she made should have been very noticeable.
But strangely, when he was watching the surveillance footage earlier, he had not noticed when this old grandmother entered through the supermarket entrance at all!
How could this be?
Leon’s heart trembled.
He quickly reversed the surveillance footage and began observing the other party’s movement route.
At 7:07, the old grandmother finished buying her items and went to line up at the cashier.
At 7:04, the old grandmother bought many things and also bought a bottle of fresh milk.
However, in the surveillance footage before seven o’clock, Leon looked through everyone in the entire supermarket, yet he did not see this old grandmother in the wheelchair at all.
Could it be…
Leon’s brain spun rapidly.
He remembered now.
Just now, he had always assumed the culprit must have entered through the supermarket entrance, so he had been watching the entrance the whole time, completely ignoring the changes happening inside the supermarket.
While thinking this, he adjusted the time to 7:01.
Finally, beside a shelf selling clocks, he found the old grandmother.
That place seemed to be a surveillance blind spot.
There was a small area that could not be captured, so on the surveillance footage, the old grandmother looked as if she had suddenly appeared there.
“I know who the culprit is!”
Leon shot up from his seat and said excitedly.
“Uu?” Koromon instantly rolled off his lap and onto the floor with a splat, startled by Leon.
“Come with me!”
Leon had no time to comfort Koromon.
He picked Koromon up in one motion, then rushed out of the surveillance room door like the wind and ran outside.
[2:30]
[2:29]
[2:28]
Time was running out.
Leon sprinted forward with all his strength.
To complete the mission, and to prevent innocent people from dying in the explosion, he had to find the bomb and end all of this!
Leon ran all the way to the clock-selling area, his ears filled with the sound of clock hands moving.
Tick.
Tock.
But amid all these ticking sounds, he heard a different sound.
Beep beep.
That was—the sound of an electronic countdown!
The sound was very quiet.
If one did not listen carefully, it could not be heard at all.
Leon quickly followed the sound and searched hard among these clocks.
Finally, he discovered a massive grandfather clock in the corner.
Something seemed to be attached behind this clock.
He immediately turned the grandfather clock around, and there was impressively a C4 bomb attached to it!
“Finally found you!”
Leon’s eyes lit up as he looked at the countdown on the bomb.

There was only one final minute left!
Without the slightest hesitation, he took out a card from his clothes.
On the card, a terrifying green figure was glowing brightly.
Summon: Ogremon!
In an instant, the Ogremon Monster Card bloomed with blue light.
A tall and ferocious figure appeared within the blue light.
Flowing white hair, green skin, two huge sharp horns on his head, and sharp fangs growing from his mouth.
His entire body emitted a violent aura, and in his hand he gripped a huge and savage bone club.
[Name: Ogremon]
[Type: Ogre]
[Stage: Champion]
[Attribute: Virus]
[Special Move: Pummel Whack]
Leon looked at the Digivice in his hand.
Ogremon was also known as Evilmon.
This was because its appearance came from the “oni” of Japanese yokai legends.
Ogremon possessed well-developed muscles, powerful attack power, and destructive force.
It was extremely belligerent and dared to challenge opponents whose combat strength was far higher than its own.
Just like the huge bone club in its hand, which was said to be a trophy taken from SkullGreymon’s body.
However, whether it was picked up from the roadside or obtained by hundreds of Ogremon ganging up on one SkullGreymon was unknown.
Hehe.
Speaking of Ogremon, one had to mention Leomon.
In the first generation of “Digimon”, he and Leomon were both controlled by Devimon using Black Gears, later joining the Chosen Children to fight against the Dark Masters.
As Leomon’s destined rival, Ogremon would initiate battle every time he saw Leomon.
It was not because Ogremon was naturally combative, but because Leomon was an opponent he acknowledged.
Later, before Leomon died, Ogremon finally understood that Leomon was not only his rival, but also his lifelong close friend.
The deep bond between Leomon and Ogremon in the original series was something Leon did not understand as a child, but finally understood after growing up.
Wasn’t this… just thick bromance!
Ogremon’s Monster Card was the same as Leomon’s.
The summon time was only five minutes.
Moreover, due to the effect of the Transparency Potion, Ogremon was currently also in an illusory transparent state that the outside world could not discover.
“Ogremon…”
Leon looked toward the tall green ogre before him and said in a deep voice, “Time is short.
Take the bomb somewhere away from the crowd immediately!”
“Leave it to me.”
Ogremon nodded, picking up the grandfather clock containing the bomb from the ground with one hand.
In the next moment, he transformed into a green whirlwind and sprinted wildly toward the outside of the supermarket!
“Leon, where are we going next?” Koromon looked toward Ogremon’s departing back and asked.
“Now, the bomb has already been found.
Only the final culprit remains.”
The expression on Leon’s face became serious.
He picked up Koromon and also ran toward the outside of the supermarket.
“We’re going after that old grandmother.
She definitely hasn’t gotten far yet!”
