Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

"I..."

Fortunately, Makima did not make things difficult for her and straightened her back again: "I will assume that Miss Liangyi is Yuejun's friend for now. Come with me~" Makima walked in front with her hands behind her back, leading Liangyi Shiki through the emergency evacuation passage to the third floor.

Bring her to the red painted "Kira".

"Miss Liang Yi, what do you think?"

Ryougi Shiki's gaze was drawn to Kirasuo, who was filled with malice and anger. His heart, shaken by Makima's words, gradually became firmer. With an expression of unprecedented solemnity, he raised his hand and touched the wall.

Behind him, Ji Ye was about to take action to stop this act of vandalism. However, Makima stopped him with a cold look that seemed to say, "Let her do it."

"Makima~" Ryougi Shiki murmured.

Ryougi Shiki instinctively reached for the short blade tucked behind her waist. This was her stress response in the face of danger. The pressure of this wall was simply too much. The overwhelming sense of oppression and the evil emanating from it seemed to be condensing into a solid object and overflowing from the wall.

The person who drew this string of characters was absolutely insane. Ryougi Shiki had never seen such a depth of evil in a human being.

"Ok?"

"Perhaps, the M represents you, Miss Makima. And Kira, the murderer, left this message to provoke you." Ryougi Shiki expressed his thoughts. Then, shaking his head, he denied it. "No, it must be wrong. It wouldn't be such a coincidence."

"Who knows?" Makima said, hands behind her back, as she walked alongside Ryougi Shiki. She actually agreed with Ryougi Shiki's point: "Perhaps the criminal is using this method to provoke me, the head of the Public Security Anti-Demon Specialty Section 4~"

Ryougi Shiki's lips parted slightly. Still a little puzzled...

"You revealed such top-secret information right in front of me?"

absurd...

"In that case, the murderer is someone close to you, Miss Makima." Ryougi Shiki focused his mind and made his own judgment.

Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4 is quite mysterious. The public only knows of its existence, but not its specific director. If the M drawn here is meant to provoke Makima, then it must be someone who knows his identity.

"No, my position is confidential. Even the people around me don't know." Makima shook her head, with a hint of doubt in the depths of her eyes.

"There's no Moon-kun scent..."

'Not Yue-kun.'

Silence fell for a moment, until a deputy inspector named Hayakawa Aki walked into the office. His expression was grim as he reported, "Ladies and gentlemen, the autopsy results are in. They include issues with the surveillance footage."

Makima crossed her arms and said, "Speak."

Hayakawa Aki took a deep breath and revealed the chilling truth: "First, the surveillance footage. After repeated confirmation by our technicians, there's absolutely no problem with the footage. There's not a single trace of tampering. It's been like this since it was filmed."

"What did you say?!"

Ji Ye's lady's cigarette slipped silently from between his fingers and fell to the ground: "No problem? Are those people just talking to the air?"

"It seems so..." Hayakawa Aki's tone was a little stiff, but it was the truth. He was the first to receive the news, and his reaction was even more excited than Himeno's. He initially thought that the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy had betrayed him.

Makima raised her hand to stop Jiye from exploding, and signaled with her eyes, "Go on."

"Nine of the ten bodies died of cardiac arrest, not blunt force trauma. The charred corpse in the hall... died of spontaneous combustion, but it likely suffered severe knife wounds and collisions before death. Traces of knife scrapes and fractures were found on the bones."

"Heart attack?"

"Ridiculous--" Ji Ye was about to refute subconsciously, but she suddenly thought of Kusuno Tsuruta who committed suicide by jumping into the water a few days ago. The cause of death was not drowning, but also heart failure.

What the hell is going on?!

All the people involved in this case died of heart failure? !

A huge suffocating feeling swept over everyone.

If the information we have so far is true, it means...

"The prisoner has the ability to control cardiac arrest and human self-immolation, and can also block himself from being seen on surveillance cameras."

"Perhaps he created an illusion and killed people in it." Ji Ye showed a far-fetched smile on his face: "Everyone in this building saw the guy named Kira, but the surveillance camera didn't capture it."

"Can we assume that Kira has a similar ability to illusions, pulling the people in this building into it and wantonly slaughtering them in his dreams?"

"Ha." Ji Ye spread her hands and looked helpless. If that was the case, this case would not be something she could solve.

It must be handed over to the head of the Anti-Demon Special Section 4, that is, Makima.

"That's really interesting, Kira." Makima sighed softly: "What you said, Jiye, may be the ideal situation."

"Huh? Ideal? Isn't this ability bad enough?" Ji Ye couldn't understand the meaning of Makima's words.

"If, Kira's ability is——"

"What about the cause of death?"

Ryougi Shiki had quietly opened her magic eyes to observe the remaining atmosphere at the scene, and used her cold and serious voice to serve as Makima's mouthpiece.

The same type of people are not empty words.

Her intuition told her that Kira's ability was not to create illusions and pull people into them to fight. But like her own, he had the ability to forcibly erase them.

【Devil Eye of Direct Death】

All things originate from a source, and where there is birth, there must be an end. We call this end "death." Those who have awakened the Mystic Eyes of Death can discern dark, crack-like lines on the surfaces of most objects—the so-called death lines.

If you use the blade to cut along the dead line, it will cause undefendable and unhealable damage to the object.

"I'm afraid the same is true for Kira."

"See the cause of death of all things and control it in advance?"

"Ji Ye~" Makima said, "Go investigate the prisoners who have died of heart failure recently. Those who died in prison, those who died during the pursuit, and classify them into categories."

"Huh?" Ji Ye's heart trembled, and he quickly reacted: "I understand."

Makima muttered to herself, "Since the criminal used this method to announce his existence, calling himself Kira, I'm afraid he'd already tested it before. Today's incident will not be the beginning, nor the end."

"But..."

"Kira's abilities were enhanced in some way, causing him to swell up enough to dare to expose himself to the police."

"In that case, we must meet his challenge well~"

Volume 1: 22 Torch and Kira

a new day.

After washing up, Light Yagami peeled an apple for himself and started to enjoy the meal on the sofa.

Machima came home a little late yesterday. If I remember correctly, she arrived home around 3 a.m., so she is still sleeping soundly with the door closed.

"I don't know what I'm busy with."

Light Yagami felt distressed and thought to himself that he had gone too far.

His original intention was to help Makima reduce the burden, but wouldn't this have a negative effect?

"But... a short pain is worse than a long one. Once Kira's name spreads throughout Japan, it will instill fear in the hearts of the guilty, and law-abiding people will chant Kira's name. Then, we can eradicate the existence of criminals."

People are all afraid of death. If they are not afraid, then use the death penalty.

If you are not afraid of even the death penalty... Light Yagami can only silently send his blessings in his heart, fearless warrior.

"In the name of Kira..."

"If Makima were to handle this, I'd be afraid the message I left behind would be sealed. Her desire for control is too strong..."

"Let's watch TV."

Light Yagami took a bite of the crisp, sweet apple and, for once, turned on the TV, switching to the Chiba local news channel. The anchor was holding a press release, reporting on the major events in Japan yesterday.

At 5:30 p.m. yesterday, police received a report and went to Araki Financial Company in Chuo Ward, Chiba City...

[It is reported that the incident resulted in a total of ten deaths and has been designated as a wide-area designated incident by the Metropolitan Police Department. This is the seventh wide-area designated incident this year.]

[Here, we solemnly remind all citizens not to go out unless necessary and pay attention to your own safety! ]

Light Yagami sighed with some regret. It seemed that the message he left behind was intercepted by the police.

"Really? Makima is always against me! She has no idea of ​​my good intentions!"

Light Yagami touched his chin, thinking about how to announce Kira's existence.

The permissions of the notes have been revoked. If you want to manipulate the cause of death again, you have to wait for Yukinoshita Yukino to break the vow of not killing... Then, determine the target to be killed through the news broadcast, erase them during the live TV broadcast and leave a message.

But that would mean waiting for a chance to broadcast the entire criminal hunt live.

Light Yagami has always preferred to be proactive rather than passive, and does not want his plans to rely on opportunities given by others.

Messages were continuously coming from the phone. Light Yagami glanced down and found that the sender was Kitagawa Umi.

Apparently, the other party had also seen the news and was reporting it to him. Yagami Light didn't even need to open his phone to guess what she would post.

It's usually like: "Oh my God, Yuejun, please watch TV!", "Something happened near where we had dinner yesterday!", "It's really scary!", little girls are like that.

Light Yagami was holding the remote control, preparing to change the channel.

Suddenly, a staff member outside the screen rushed into the camera and whispered something anxiously in the host's ear.

Yagami Light paused in his attempts to change channels. Generally speaking, such a situation rarely occurred in a formal news program. A temporary interruption was already considered a live broadcast incident.

There is only one reason for this situation, and that is that something big has happened.

The host's face was pale, his throat moved up and down, and he said stiffly:

[An urgent announcement: According to reliable sources, the word "Kira" written by the criminal was found inside the Araki Financial Corporation building. Nine of the ten victims died of heart failure...]

Is this a provocation to the police who are inaction?! Where do these tax thieves put the safety of our people?!

[As taxpayers, we have the right to know. This station will continue to follow up on this case for you!]

The TV director switched the camera and showed a photo of the wall with the word Kira written on it.

Light Yagami had a strange look on his face. Is this... a traitor among the police officers responding to the scene?

This really... fulfilled his wish.

Light Yagami quickly took out his cell phone and opened the live broadcast room of Chiba TV Station.

The development of the Internet has promoted the flow of information. Generally, TV stations will set up synchronous online live broadcast rooms for netizens to discuss.

Chiba TV's motto is authenticity and freedom. Whenever a major news story is broadcast, the comments section reveals the truest side of people's hearts.

As expected, after the host briefly explained the case, the comment section was filled with complaints:

[The police are using our taxpayers' money to do their duty and collect the bodies?]

There's no need to report this kind of thing anymore. It's always kept secret, and it never ends. If we report it in the end, it'll either mean the killer has been apprehended, or we'll just wait until the internet's memory fades and people forget about it.

[Why don't you ask the Special Section 4 to help? What a bunch of good-for-nothings!]

[It seems like there was a similar case involving that ghoul several years ago, but there was no progress until a similar incident occurred recently, so we asked the Special Section 4 to take action...]

"Allowing such a dangerous person to exist without revealing any information? Inaction! Dismissal! Inaction! Dismissal!"

And when the host revealed these bombshells...

Nine people died of cardiac arrest? Is this true? Are they making this up?

Araki Financial Company is a loan shark, right? The people there are all scum who deserve to die! Do you think this Kira is a knight who stands on the side of us ordinary people?

[No, buddy, have you read too many novels? What era is this still full of knights?]

[No, upstairs, haven't you heard the story of the knight-errant? In the second year of Yuanhe...]

"Ha, now that you mention it, it's a little scary, but in a way, it's also quite satisfying. The loan sharks did such disgusting things, and even after being caught, they didn't get the punishment they deserved. And yet, Kira killed them all. It's so satisfying—"

[Do you remember that during the live broadcast of the hostage rescue the other day, the criminal, Otoharada Kuro, seemed to have suddenly died. Could it be...?]

【Battle! Awesome!】

[Kira-sama, please kill all the guilty people! OR2~]

The floors jump rapidly and the information is overwhelming.

Some who had made mistakes in the past felt panic, thinking that such a method was too bloody and brutal. Some who had been persecuted by the Yakuza felt blessed, thinking that Kira was helping them get revenge.

It’s very strange that although it is just a piece of news based on “reliable sources”, few people question its authenticity.

It’s like staying in a dark, cold, and numb world for a long time. As long as there is a ray of light, people will rush towards it frantically.

Whether this light is the glare of the sun or the deadly light of a supernova explosion.

"There is no torch in this world, Kira is the only light..."

Light Yagami's expression remained calm, his crimson eyes reflecting the contents of the screen. Those words seemed to be imbued with life, stirring Light Yagami's heartstrings.
