Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

Then why did he go out for tutoring after dinner?

Makima is good in every way except that her desire to control him is a little too strong.

If he didn't take advantage of this free time after dinner to do something...Yagami Light wouldn't have the chance to go out normally. He had to report everything he did and went to Makima. He'd paid double the fee to collude with the cram school, getting the relevant person in charge to cooperate and fabricate a statement. This had bought him three hours of free time.

Light Yagami put on his hood, pulled up his mask, carried his bag, and walked alone on the path.

It's clear that the flow of people at this time of year is much smaller than usual. With public security collapsing and crime rates soaring, the police's announcement has considerable deterrent power. The admonition "stay at home unless necessary" is definitely not just empty talk.

After walking for about ten minutes, Light Yagami arrived at a crossroads. To the front was the road leading to the cram school, while to the left was his daily routine.

Light Yagami pulled out his phone and scrolled through this morning's news: [Yesterday evening at 11:00 PM, a man in his thirties was found dead in a pool of blood in an alley in Chiba City's Chuo Ward. His body was suspected to have been mauled by a ferocious beast. This is the fourth "beast murder case" this year. We will continue to follow up on the police investigation.]

His daily routine after dinner is to investigate and monitor the "suspects".

Regarding this case, Light Yagami had very few clues from the police. The only two clues were that the murderer had short, neutral hair and was wearing a red jacket with a white collar. In Chiba, a city with a population of eight million, finding someone who matched those two clues was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

but...

Light Yagami, however, had already suspected someone early on.

Her name is Ryougi Shiki.

It can be regarded as the year-end friend of Yagami Yue.

Whether it was the time of the crime, or the hairstyle and clothing, they all fit the murderer's personality template perfectly. Especially the red jacket with a white collar, which was given by Light Yagami himself.

"I hope...it won't be you."

The usually silent and cold woman left a deep impression on Light Yagami. This was the first time Light Yagami had ever hoped so much that someone would not commit a crime.

If Ryougi Shiki had killed someone who deserved death, Light Yagami would have supported her wholeheartedly. But the victims of this series of deaths were all innocent people: children, pregnant women, and middle-aged people working hard to support their families...

The dazzling number "59" flashed in the calendar of his phone. He had been monitoring Ryougi Shiki for nearly two months. However, each of the crimes occurred after Light Yagami had been monitoring her.

All clues seemed to point to a woman named Ryougi Shiki, who never once defended herself. But even so, Light Yagami refused to believe she was the murderer and insisted on a two-hour surveillance day after day.

But besides monitoring Ryougi Shiki today, Light Yagami had one more thing he wanted to do. He wanted to select a lucky person and test the limits of his so-called "control over the cause of death."

Before today's privilege escalation.

The Death Note can only write a name and cause the target to die of cardiac arrest within ten seconds. This improvement may make Light Yagami's budding ideas a reality. For example, could a text prefix be added before death, thus achieving the prerequisite for death?

A heart attack? What caused it? Was it caused by something stimulating, or was it caused by an accident? The same cause of death, yet many different ways to achieve it. Human imagination holds many interesting ways to die, and Light Yagami wants to achieve them.

Self-immolation, drowning, falling from a building, suffocation... and then a complete set of lynchings was developed based on the degree of the criminal's death penalty.

'This is...amazing!'

However, the current authority is just a simple upgrade, and the purpose that Light Yagami wants to achieve is not that complicated. It is just a simple announcement to the world about the birth of the god of death.

For example...

Yagami Light pinched his chin, lost in thought: "What should I do? Draw a special symbol?"

"A sickle? That seems a bit too vulgar. A swastika? I'm not that kind of god of death. What about a cross? I'm not the Christian god."

Suddenly, Light Yagami thought of Makima's face, a blend of purity and charm, and blurted out, "Then... let's just draw an M."

"makima~"

...

Chiba, under the cover of night, fell into an eerie silence. Few people were around, and the occasional whistle of a flute proved that the city was still functioning.

Arriving at a famous cross-sea bridge, the dim yellow streetlights had been switched on. The once bustling bridge was now nearly empty. The sound of tires scraping against the road could only be heard after more than ten seconds.

Light Yagami discovered a poor woman who was seeking death.

As for why I say pitiful...

Light Yagami looked over the guardrail of the bridge and saw purple crystals on the woman's beautiful face. This was an extremely rare virus, also called the "Apocalypse Virus" by experts.

Those infected with this virus live in immense pain every moment, the pain burning their nerves like hell, and death is a relief compared to it. Existing intelligence indicates that this virus is mostly transmitted through sexual contact.

"Do you want to jump from here? It would be very painful to drown." Light Yagami smiled and walked behind her.

Kusunoko Tsuruta turned around and looked at the boy standing behind her, her eyes devoid of any emotion that a suicidal person should have.

Despair, numbness, fear, sadness... none of the above, only a smile as pure and bright as a baby's. However, that smile, coupled with the purple blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, had an indescribable sense of strangeness.

'Late stage, dying, no more than three days left.'

The final symptoms of the Apocalypse virus include purple blood oozing from the corners of the mouth and purple crystals appearing on the body beneath clothing. The patient will suffer from the pain for the last three days and watch themselves die.

There is no cure.

Light Yagami respects and fears death, considering it the most severe punishment in the world, and deeply believes that no one in the world can withstand such fear.

"But why can't I see the fear of death on this guy's face?"

"Down below, boyfriend, down below, find him."

As she breathed, the woman's brow furrowed deeply, and more blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. As if she had found someone to share her joy with, she gestured excitedly at the deep and forbidden ocean current below.

As he said that, he handed the phone to Light Yagami.

'Intellectual disability?'

Such unclear way of speaking quickly made Light Yagami realize that the beautiful woman in front of him was probably mentally retarded.

Light Yagami took the phone and a long chat history appeared on the screen.

The woman's profile picture was an extremely ordinary picture of the sky. Due to her intellectual disability, the content she sent could not be expressed in words. She could only express her emotions through bouquets of roses and hugging emojis.

【Love#】

[The other party has cancelled #]

...

[The other party has cancelled #]

The series of messages did not receive a positive response from the other side of the screen. Light Yagami's eyes remained unchanged and continued to slide down.

【Smile#, thumbs#】

[Is this annoying?!] This is a voice message.

Just by the voice, Light Yagami could tell that the person on the other end of the phone was a wretched, frivolous man. His voice contained boredom and anger, and it seemed that he couldn't get rid of the woman in front of him for some reason.

[What are you doing smiling at me?! You stupid woman! I sold you out, and you're still smiling at me?] This paragraph was the text, and then the woman replied with a [question mark #].

[There's a big shot who's also been infected with the Apocalypse virus. No one dares to take his orders, even if they offer a large sum of money. Because the Apocalypse virus is so terrifying, no one is willing to take them. I don't know what this big shot's quirk is, but he insists on having a woman awake when he can obviously have someone unconscious. But Tsuruta, it's all thanks to you.]

After selling you to him and letting him have his pleasure once, the money he gave me was enough to pay off my gambling debts. Not only that, my status in the group skyrocketed. If I could throw you to those bastards who used to look down on me and have their pleasure once again, no one would dare disobey me anymore... But you dared to cuckold me and not resist, what a slutty woman! You deserve to die, Kusunoko Tsuruta! ! !

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The scarlet text could be felt through the screen, revealing a deep sense of malice. Taking advantage of the woman's mental retardation, he unscrupulously vented his malice on the chat app without any reservation.

But the woman couldn't understand the text at all, and just thought the man was angry, so she sent a question mark along with emoticons of tears and hugs.

"The police are also following me. If they find out what I've done, things will get really troublesome. So, Kusunoki, please make the most of your last chance to be of use~"

Finally came to a voice:

The man said in a deliberately disguised gentle voice:

"I'm under the bridge. If you want to see me, just jump down and find me. Remember to bring your phone with you. Come find me quickly, Nanzi. Be careful not to let the police see you."

Yagami Light scrolled down the page out of habit, but due to an error, he was redirected to another backend. There were topics related to mothers and babies, which were being played aloud via the phone's built-in read-aloud function.

The sound was clear and gentle, like an antidote to heal people's hearts.

But how can we cure it?

When Light Yagami raised his head again, the woman's expression had become even more sinister. Her left cheek was twisted with pain, but her right was a sweet, happy smile. From beginning to end, she had lived in a dream called happiness woven by a man.

"Give it back to me. I'm going to find him."

After the sweetness, anxiety set in. The woman reached out to take the phone back from Light Yagami, her eyes frequently glancing towards the deep ocean current beneath the bridge. Light Yagami yielded to her will and returned the phone to her.

Kusunoko Tsuruta took the phone and climbed over the guardrail again, her body swaying.

"Drowning is one of the most painful ways for humans to die."

"This process usually lasts 3-5 minutes. You can feel the seawater pouring into your body until it bursts."

"Death, what does it mean?"

The woman stopped jumping into the sea, coughed up a mouthful of purple blood, and looked at Light Yagami again with a confused and curious look.

Yagami Light looked at the bright moon in the sky and explained to himself:

"You can't breathe in the water, but the increasing amount of carbon dioxide accumulated in your body stimulates your respiratory center to breathe, which is very painful. Because you are underwater, your consciousness will control your body and not breathe. But when you really can't hold it any longer, your instinct will take over and you will start trying to breathe in the water."

"The mouth and nose will inhale a large amount of water, causing related irritation reactions. The body is in a state of extreme hypoxia, and the drowning victim at this stage is the most painful."

"Consciousness gradually failed and the brain began to shut down."

"Eventually, your pain will disappear, but the basic feeling will remain. You'll feel your body enter a light and airy state, as if you're floating in the air, and your mind will automatically start replaying the happiest moments of your life."

“The human body is amazing, isn’t it~”

Tsuruta Kusunoko nodded, not quite understanding, and smiled happily again: "Happiness, Makoto and I, happiness!"

"After saying so much, you still don't understand..." Light Yagami shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand, took out the Death Note from his bag, and opened a brand new blank page.

"His name is Cheng, right?"

"Yeah!" Kusunoko Tsuruta nodded heavily. This was one of the few names she could remember.

"What's your full name, can you tell me?"

"Endo, Endo Makoto!"

Beep, beep—

At the other end of the bridge, the sound of urgent sirens could be faintly heard.

Hearing the sound, Kusunoki Tsuruta looked towards the end of the bridge with her head raised like a frightened rabbit.

"B-Bye."

She turned her head and gave Light Yagami a last bright smile, then she let go of his hand without hesitation and fell straight towards the sea below.

Light Yagami watched the scene expressionlessly, and with his hands he quickly took out a pen from his chest and began to write on the blank page of the Death Note at the fastest speed in his life.

Just before she fell into the sea:

[Tsuruda Kusuko is about to die]

puff-

"Police!! Damn, are they too late?!"

Volume 1: 8 Himeno's Investigation

"Name?"

"Yakami Yue."

"Year..."

"Wait, you're Chief Yagami's child?!"

The policewoman who was asking questions outside the guardrail of the bridge suddenly raised her head and looked at the chestnut-haired boy in front of her.

Like! Really like!

"If Director Yagami refers to the former Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, then I'm right." Yagami Light swallowed stiffly, looking terrified. He perfectly portrayed the reaction of someone witnessing death for the first time.

After confirming her identity, her eyes looking at Light Yagami became familiar and gentle, and she naturally treated Light Yagami as her own.

She withdrew her hand from taking notes, tucked her notebook away, and sighed, "Ya Shen... you should still be studying."

"Yes, I'm a freshman in high school now."
