In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Just like it is now.

Wearing a white down jacket and a black face mask, the middle-aged man with messy blond hair brandished a fruit knife in a warning gesture, grinning menacingly as he threatened:

"Hey kid, what are you looking at? This is none of your business, get out of here!"

Kira Yoshikage glanced at the middle-aged man who hadn't showered in who knows how many days and reeked of a sour stench, then looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was blocked under a streetlight by him, her face pale. He couldn't tell if she was being suffocated by the stench or frightened.

"Is this the safety situation in Japan? I love it!"

Kira Yoshikage remained completely calm upon witnessing this scene, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Japan has long been known internationally for its low crime rate.

Some say this is because Japanese people 'don't want to cause trouble for others, so their crime rate is low,' hence the low crime rate.

That's both right and wrong.

That's not right, because the number of criminals in Japan is no lower than in other countries.

The idea that "the crime rate is low because people don't want to cause trouble for others" is purely wishful thinking on the part of some people.

The reality is that, because they don't want to cause trouble for others, victims often don't choose to report the incident to the police afterward.

Especially for 'minor' incidents like robbery, victims generally won't report it to the police unless the amount stolen is huge.

Even if a single woman is raped, she is unlikely to choose to report it to the police because she is afraid of losing face and fears that it will prevent her from gaining a foothold in society and her company.

Calling the police won't make them feel safe; instead, it will label them as 'troublemakers' or 'improper.'

Due to various factors, fewer people are reporting crimes, and the reported crime rate is naturally lower.

In addition, the Japanese government will also "go both ways"—

In order to maintain a 'low crime rate', local governments often choose to conceal the facts of crime.

For example, an unnamed Osaka government agency once concealed 80,000 cases over five years.

Furthermore, Japanese law itself is designed to maintain a low crime rate. For example, gangs and adult films that are illegal in other countries are legal in Japan.

In short:

As long as I legalize illegal acts, it doesn't count as a crime. As long as the facts of a crime are concealed, then there is no crime!

With two measures combined, how can the crime rate not be low?

However, the truth is that in less than a month, Yoshikage Kira had already been robbed twice and attempted suicide once.

As for the security situation in Japan, well, those who know, know.

"Yale yaale".

Kira Yoshikage expressionlessly tugged at his collar and walked straight toward Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Chapter 33: As long as you don't call the police, you haven't committed a crime.

As Yoshikage Kira approached step by step, the middle-aged man nervously pointed his blade at him. Thick black energy surged from Kira's body, and he issued a stern warning:

"Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, don't come any closer!"

Snapped!

Kira Yoshikage paused slightly, but only for a moment, before continuing to approach the middle-aged man at a leisurely pace.

Seeing that he couldn't intimidate Kira Yoshikage, the middle-aged man turned his blade on Kasumigaoka Utaha once more, gritting his teeth and threatening:

"If you come any closer, I'll kill her!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man quickly approached Asakagaoka Utaha and reached out to grab the pale-faced girl.

At the same time, the dense black mist behind the middle-aged man rapidly condensed into a three-meter-tall, ominous, and ferocious evil spirit!

As the middle-aged man moved, the evil spirit also reached out and grabbed at the girl not far away.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face grew paler and paler, because she could see it, she could see the terrifying evil spirit formed from dense death energy!

From the beginning, she was afraid of more than just the man, because she had pepper spray and a stun gun in her bag.

But how can these things possibly deal with evil spirits!

"Close your eyes."

A calm voice reached the girl's ears. Perhaps out of fear, or perhaps out of an inexplicable trust, Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes as her body trembled violently.

At the same time, the distance between Yoshikage Kira and them had shrunk to less than three meters!

Killer Queen!

Kira Yoshikage's eyes flashed, and a large pink cat instantly appeared behind him, rushing straight towards the middle-aged man with the knife and the evil spirit behind him!

Euler!

boom!

The three-meter-tall evil spirit's upper body was instantly sent flying, but it suddenly bounced back midway. For some reason, the evil spirit's lower body was still firmly attached to the middle-aged man's back.

This is a ghost!

"You can see me!"

"Humans, delicious, I want to eat them!"

The evil spirit, whose face was now riddled with holes after being punched for no reason, felt no pain. Instead, it let out a sharp and excited hiss. It abandoned Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was right next to it, and suddenly stretched its body, rapidly closing the distance between itself and Kira Yoshikage.

At the same time, Yoshikage Kira calmly pressed his thumb.

boom!

The spirit behind him exploded in the silence, without making a sound or leaving any trace.

thump!

The middle-aged man collapsed to the ground, screaming in terror:

"A ghost! There's a ghost!"

"No! Impossible! Ghosts don't exist!"

"Thinking is a pie! Cheese is poison! It's all fake! It's all fake!"

Like a mentally unstable madman, the middle-aged man kept muttering "Thinking is a pie, cheese is poison," stumbled to his feet, and ran towards a side alley, yelling.

"You can't fool me! You can't fool me! It's all fake!"

Yoshikage Kira glanced at him but did not choose to chase after him. After all, he knew the law well and that being caught murdering someone was a crime.

and.

The combination of anti-intellectualism and evil spirits is rather bizarre.

The reason why anti-intellectual cults have always preached that "thinking is a trap and knowledge is poison" is because they believe that all supernatural forces originate from human "cognition," including evil spirits.

Anti-intellectual cults tend to eliminate human understanding of the 'supernatural' in order to achieve the goal of eliminating supernatural forces.

In short, anti-intellectual cults firmly believe in the idea that "if I don't believe in ghosts, then there are no ghosts in the world."

While the anti-intellectual cult's actions may be somewhat extreme, its ideology can indeed be effective in combating the supernatural to some extent.

Kira Yoshikage snapped out of his thoughts, and the middle-aged man had completely disappeared into the darkness.

Yoshikage Kira casually pressed his thumb.

The dark alleyway fell completely silent; there were no terrified screams from the middle-aged man, nor any explosions.

Nothing happened.

His peripheral vision swept over Kasumigaoka Utaha, who, despite trembling with fear, obediently kept her eyes tightly shut.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had no idea what had happened.

Her memory lingered on the hideous demon that was almost pressed against her face, but then she heard the middle-aged man scream in terror and flee in panic.

But after a few seconds, everything seemed to return to calm.

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked nervously:

"Can I open my eyes now?"

She received no response; all she could hear were the fading footsteps.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the girl nervously opened her eyes, only to see the boy's departing figure.

Both the evil spirit and the middle-aged robber have vanished.

She subconsciously glanced at the gloomy alleyway beside the road. The middle-aged man had just jumped out from there to rob her, and he had probably already fled back into the alley.

But what if Yoshikage Kira leaves...?

call!

A gust of cold wind howled in and swept in, making the tree branches tremble violently.

"Wait for me!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a chill run down her spine. Fear drove her to quickly catch up with Kira Yoshikage. Only when she reached Kira Yoshikage's side did the girl feel a strange sense of relief.

"Kira-kun,"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nearly bit her tongue in nervousness, and said in a trembling voice:

"That evil spirit just now, you..."

Yoshikage Kira looked puzzled:

"What evil spirit? What are you talking about?"

"me……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha froze, unsure what to say, stammering, "Then what did you just now...?"

"I didn't do anything."

"But that homeless man was too timid; he ran away as soon as I got close."

Although Kira Yoshikage's answer was reasonable, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but ask:
