Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

……

Standing alone in front of the ruins of Ogawa Apartment for a while, he took a last look at the ruins filled with blood and tears. Light Yagami dusted himself off, stood up, turned around and chose to leave without any reluctance.

It would be troublesome if we continued to stay here.

On the one hand, he had to get home before Miss Makima, and on the other hand, it would be troublesome if his identity appeared at the crime scene.

Fortunately, he has become the master of the Death Note at this moment. Surveillance cameras, a product of this mortal world, are completely unable to capture his body, and the best police dogs cannot detect his scent at the scene.

He clearly left his footprints at the crime scene, but there was no effective means to prove that he had been there.

The Locard exchange principle no longer applies to Light Yagami at this moment.

Similarly, information about him would be blocked the moment the Anti-Magic Public Security interrogated Ryougi and Asagami, becoming the nameless "that adult." Afterward, their memories would resurface.

I can do all this thanks to Yukinoshita Yukino.

During the time when everyone lost their memories, he accidentally completed all of Light Yagami's main and side quests, and thereby obtained these incredible permissions.

Now he...can kill whoever he wants.

"Yukinoshita Yukino is truly a treasure girl. It's just that while my memory was sealed, she went a little too far... Isn't that right, Ryuk?"

Light Yagami walked under the dim street lights with his hands in his pockets, as if talking to himself, speaking nonsense to the empty street.

"Hehehe~" A sinister laugh that only Light Yagami could hear rang out beside him: "As expected of Light, you noticed me so quickly?"

As the words fell, a ferocious and terrifying figure appeared beside Yagami Light. This figure, like Yagami Light, was elusive and could not be looked at directly.

In simple terms, he is an intelligent assistant named Ryuk, born from the ultimate liberation of his powers. He appears at the thought of Light Yagami, and disappears at the same thought.

While holding the note, no sound can be detected, but it can write its name on the Death Note in place of Light Yagami. Rather than being an intelligent being, it is more like an absolutely loyal "stand-in" born from Light Yagami's will.

"Ryuk, you said you could write on the Death Note for me, right?"

"Hehehe, how about it, want to give it a try? This is my first time trying to kill someone. But I can't do it now. The notes are still at Light's house. Even I can't kill someone with my willpower without the notes."

"Well... then, tomorrow."

Light Yagami murmured, his eyes flashing with excitement. The notebook was no longer restricted, which meant... he could finally begin his killing spree!

"How about a paragraph like this, based on the Rumbling Declaration?"

"To all Japanese people: I am Kira, using the power of the God of Death to speak to all Japanese people. On the island of Japan, all moral bottom lines have been broken, and all the evils buried there have begun to erupt... My goal is world peace.

"However, twisted sin will devour all that is good in the world. Over the long years, the hatred that continues to grow will not only target this island, but the entire world... The punishment will not cease until all the guilty are killed. The power of the God of Death will kill all sinners on this island and beyond, and flatten all the land of sin until all sinners are expelled from this world!"

"Well, it's a good script, that's it."

Light Yagami murmured, screening in his mind the guys who were important enough to serve as spokespersons for this declaration... This person, whom Kira wanted to use as an example to scare the monkeys, must first be guilty, and then be important enough.

But then again, what meat-eater in Japan doesn't have a bit of black on their body? No one can escape it.

The images that flashed through my mind finally stopped at one of them: "It's decided to be you..."

……

……

"You mean, Kishibe died in the special operation against Kira? Along with twenty-nine elite members of the Taima Public Security?"

Late at night, the Chief Cabinet Secretary was still in his office, his chin supported by his hands, his eyes colder than ever.

A lot of major events have happened internationally in recent days, and he has been busy giving speeches every day, which has already made him exhausted. Now, Anbian, who he assigned to restrain Makima and investigate Kira at the same time, and who he placed high hopes on, just died in the deserted night?

waste! It's all rubbish!

"So, what was the result? Did Kira catch him?"

There wasn't even a moment to mourn for the dead Anbian and his companions. The dead were just numbers after all. What mattered was the living people in the positions of superiors! As long as Kira, the great threat, could be dealt with, even if more Anti-Demon Police died, it would be worth it!

In the eyes of the Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Anti-Demon Public Security Force is nothing but firewood. Firewood for their country's progress!

"No, the cause of the accident is still under investigation. It is not yet certain whether it was Kira's fault or another super-powered criminal."

"Oh, useless trash! Thirty elite soldiers died in vain, achieving nothing!"

"Trash, it's all trash!"

The enraged Chief Cabinet Secretary grabbed the paper in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at Makima's face without hesitation. However, this level of attack was impossible to touch Makima, and he caught the ball of paper in his hand.

Makima didn't get angry about this. She just crumpled the paper ball in her hand and threw it into the wastebasket next to her.

He made a suggestion in a brisk tone: "So, how will Mr. Secretary choose to respond? Will you call a press conference tomorrow and announce Kira's legitimacy in front of all the media? Those killed by Kira will be defined as criminals without trial, in order to maintain your image in Kira's eyes?"

"Or should we continue to train new personnel to join the operation to capture Kira?"

"Or? Ask the FBI for help?"

Every word Makima said was heart-piercing, like sharp arrows piercing the Chief Cabinet Secretary's fragile heart, and his face turned pale and blue.

Indeed, if even the highly anticipated Anbian died in the investigation, it would obviously be impossible to train a successor.

There are only two paths left.

Either surrender to Kira and declare his legitimacy in the name of the government, and from then on, the entire Japanese economy would be run under theocracy. Or, ask the FBI for help and ask them to send more extraordinary people to investigate this series of events...

As for Makima? He'd become increasingly unpredictable lately, making the Chief Cabinet Secretary wary. The contract guaranteed Makima's loyalty to some extent. But re-enlisting him in the lead on something as significant as capturing Kira... was out of the question. He could only be kept in the cold, serving as a coordinating force.

How to choose?

Surrender or ask for help?

Either way, it would bring disgrace to the entire government. Asking the Americans for help would inevitably lead to a similar situation as MacArthur's...

The distorted expression on his face finally disappeared with a breath of foul air, and the Chief Cabinet Secretary's face returned to calm.

Always think positively about everything.

The initial purpose of arresting Kira was because they were worried that he was a destabilizing factor and that he would kill the officials in the government office, because none of them were clean. But after observing for a period of time, Kira didn't kill any of them. Does this mean that... Kira is controllable?

Another concern is that surrendering to a criminal would be too embarrassing in the eyes of the international community. But asking the FBI for help would be equally embarrassing, and since both are embarrassing, they should choose the option that is more beneficial to them.

The humiliation turned into fuel for excitement, burning fiercely in the Chief Cabinet Secretary's heart.

If... I could please Kira with this, and use Kira's power for my own benefit, what a wonderful thing that would be!

With the precedent of Makima, as long as he signs a contract with Kira... everything is possible! Kira's power is even greater than Makima's. He can use Kira to eliminate his political enemies and the enemies in Japan...

Humans are such complex creatures.

Sometimes, if you think about a contradictory thing from a different perspective, all the results will be reversed.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary made a decision, tapping his index finger on the table rhythmically. "Then acknowledge Kira's existence! We can stop the hunt for Kira. Let the joint investigation team hold a press conference tomorrow."

"The focus of the Anti-Demon Police will return to normal."

After saying this, the Chief Cabinet Secretary waved his hand slightly irritably, driving Makima away.

"Hmm... I'm a little surprised you made the choice so quickly."

Machima raised an eyebrow, as if marveling at how the Japanese could be so disloyal, their backs bent so quickly. With no conviction or bottom line, these officials, eager to defend the law, surrendered to the criminals as soon as the defenders died.

It's really... so sad, Himeno, Kishibe.

After Machima left, the Chief Cabinet Secretary slumped in his seat, muttering to himself, "I'll have to host the press conference myself... Show my sincerity."

Volume 1: 112 Imprisoned

It is late at night.

On their way home, Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino were stopped by agents of the Taima Public Security Bureau. They were blindfolded and taken to an interrogation room in the basement of the Public Security Building.

Makima was in charge of interrogating Ryougi Shiki, while Asakami was in charge of another manor.

The incident was a big deal, but for Makima it was more of an act. She brewed a cup of coffee for Ryougi Shiki and passed it to her across the table.

"So, can you tell me the reason, Miss Liang Yi?"

"The reason for appearing at Ogawa Apartment."

A faint golden light flickered in Makima's eyes, as if she were trying to manipulate Ryougi Shiki to extract the information she was trying to convey. However... her ability to control beings, whether objective or subjective, whose life forms were equal to or superior to hers, could not be affected.

Ryougi Shiki placed her hands on the coffee cup, her beautiful eyes dim.

The greatest sorrow is a dead heart, and her heart has died in Light Yagami's hands.

She shook her head, not intending to cooperate with Makima's investigation. Perhaps dying here would be the best outcome for her... at the hands of Light Yagami's guardian.

This is fate.

Seeing that Ryougi Shiki didn't say anything, Makima threw out her own chip and took out the photo of the two of them entering the bridge one after the other.

"From these images, it seems that you and Ms. Asagami had a fight, right~"

"The damage inside the bridge is severe, and repairing it will cost a lot of money... Even if you say nothing, you will probably be charged with provoking trouble and damaging public property, causing substantial economic losses, and be imprisoned."

"Also, the surveillance footage captured you and Asagami Fujino entering the Ogawa Apartment together. Shortly thereafter, thirty elite Anti-Demon Public Security officers perished there. Their bodies are currently being stored in a morgue less than fifty meters from you..."

"Did you do it? Or was it Kira? What happened in there? Miss Liangyi, please tell me~"

Makima's voice remained gentle, not wavering at all due to the seriousness of the incident.

When she heard the number of thirty deaths, Ryougi Shiki's empty eyes finally showed a ripple, and deep pain emerged.

If... she hadn't underestimated her own strength from the beginning and had chosen to use the "Nine Character Kanesada" as a weapon, Araya Soren wouldn't have been her opponent. If... she had been able to get to Ogawa Apartment earlier, she could have saved these lives.

The sin is on her, and her knife is hesitant and confused.

Ryougi Shiki's delicate body trembled slightly, like a delicate puppet that had lost its soul. She spoke with a tone of self-blame, "It's Araya Soren... a tantric monster who has lived for two hundred years."

"From the Truth Cult incident, to the recent serial suicides of women, and today's incident at Ogawa Apartment... they were all his doing. His body has become one with Ogawa Apartment. I was no match for him. I was knocked unconscious and dragged into a folded space, imprisoned."

"Hmm... I see. If the body and the apartment are fused together, then the apartment's collapse means..."

"He was killed by Kira." Ryougi Shiki said calmly, "It was as if Kira had his fate by the throat, and he was killed without any ability to resist."

"That's how it is... absurd yet true. As for the Asagami Fujino you questioned, Ms. Makima, it's because I discovered she was using the power of her Mystic Eyes to torture criminals, and I wanted to stop her senseless behavior."

"But it's all over."

"above."

Makima's brow furrowed slightly, feeling something was amiss. However, she couldn't use her power over Ryougi Shiki, and her explanation was plausible, so she thought it would be okay to just smooth things over and close the case with that explanation.

But... the most fatal loophole is: Kira didn't know about Araya Soren's existence at first, otherwise he wouldn't have sent thirty Anti-Magic Police as pioneers to investigate Ogawa Apartment first.

We don't know his true name, nor do we understand his true appearance... but he later somehow mastered these two elements and killed Araya Soren.

Even more bizarre is that the surrounding surveillance cameras captured no one besides Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino. If we rule out the possibility that Kira himself was hiding inside the apartment and perished when the building collapsed, wouldn't that be the same scenario as Kira's first appearance?

The same surveillance footage showed no signs of modification, and the same strange thing happened when I was at the scene, but there was no witness to prove it.

"Ryougi Shiki is hiding something..."

"Shiki, you seem to be hiding something very important." Makima raised her hand and caressed Ryougi Shiki's cold face with unusual tenderness. "Kira didn't actually curse Araya Sōren remotely. He was there and executed him personally, right?"

"You saw Kira's face and decided to hide it."

"I... don't remember."

Ryougi Shiki looked thoughtful, but finally shook her head blankly.

She had indeed seen Kira's tall figure, almost blending into the darkness, and a fleeting glimpse of his profile, but Kira's true appearance lingered in her memory like a mist.

At the same time, Makima's earphones also rang with reports from his subordinates, and the interrogation of Asakami Fujino was generally similar.

Makima's eyes flickered. This was another important piece of information about Kira.

"Anyone who has seen Kira or knows anything about him will forget or distort all information about him when interrogated."

"I just don't know if there's a time limit for this kind of memory distortion and forgetting~"

"What a remarkable cognitive distortion barrier, it prevents any witnesses from spreading information. Unless the investigators themselves directly battle Kira, there's virtually no chance of finding him."

Makima murmured, coming back to her senses. Her white index finger slid down Ryougi Shiki's cheek and pressed against her lips, feeling the strange coldness.

"Shiki~ Since you've forgotten, stay here for a while and remember everything~"

Makima pressed the microphone: "Imprison Ryougi and Asagami separately for half a month. If they still haven't remembered Kira's true appearance, release them."

After confessing everything, Makima put on her black coat again and walked out of the interrogation room.

The moment she walked out the door, a hint of confusion appeared in Ryougi Shiki's eyes. The fog covering Kira's true appearance was lifted, and related memories emerged again.

All I think about is the Night God...
