Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

Yukinoshita Yukino had a vague premonition that on September 9th, something big would happen that would shock Chiba and even Japan.

Volume 1: 70 Contain, Secure, Protect (6k)

Machima still didn't return home on time.

“It’s been getting really busy lately…”

Light Yagami breathed a sigh of relief, yet a hint of disappointment lingered within him. He wondered what Makima had been up to lately. Perhaps the entire police force had been mobilized because of Kira's incident.

After a quick dinner, Light Yagami returned to his room and locked it carefully.

His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard. After ensuring his safety on the Internet, he opened the phishing website "Savior Kira" that was deliberately left by the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Will you stay?"

Light Yagami muttered to himself.

Before leaving Chiyo Ward, he could not forget Hayakawa Aki's dark, determined eyes. It was a look that shattered the faith he had held so long in. Along with it, his soul became dark and dim.

Light Yagami could probably guess what had happened.

Ichiryu Kawada infiltrated as an undercover agent and found out some important information, but he died in front of Aki Hayakawa because of betrayal by an undercover agent inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

It's a sad and tragic story that makes people feel sad.

"Kawada Ichiryu, I have deeply felt your awareness."

"Now, I need you to give me an opportunity..."

"Will there be?"

Light Yagami is bound to punish the Shinrikyo, but he lacks a pretext to clear himself of suspicion. Because from the current perspective, Kira's only chance to punish the Shinrikyo is the Yukinoshita family.

If things are ultimately unsuccessful, Light Yagami will follow the plan already laid out and temporarily relinquish ownership of the notebook. In the original plan, Yukinoshita Haruno was one of the options, and Kawada Ichiryū was the backup option. But now that Kawada Ichiryū is dead...

"There's no mistaking that look."

"Hayakawa Aki, will you inherit Kawada Ichiryu's will? Will you choose Kira?"

Light Yagami muttered to himself.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. When a dying person is about to die, his words are kind. What Hayakawa Aki said to himself was absolutely from the heart. What will happen to a person who has nowhere else to go, who has gone to extremes, who believes in Kira?

I would choose... to fight to the death!

Light Yagami had a strong premonition that tonight, Hayakawa Aki would make a choice.

"Come on, prove it to me! Hayakawa Aki!"

Light Yagami turned the computer chair around, resting his elbows on his abdomen and supporting his chin with one hand. The faint fluorescent light from the computer screen was imprinted on his calm face.

Time passed minute by minute.

Until seven o'clock.

The homepage of the [Savior Website] jumped, and a new post appeared. Its title was——[Kira Qinqi·Taki]

'It's really here!'

Although there was no clear evidence, Light Yagami had a feeling that this was what he was waiting for!

"Taki, Kawada Ichiryu. It was Hayakawa Aki who was using his account to pass information to Kira."

Light Yagami's pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body moved from a lazy state to a state of concentration as if launching a slingshot, his fingers tapping on the keyboard at a speed that left afterimages.

Lines of code flashed by.

But to sum up, Light Yagami's orders have only three purposes: [contain], [control], and [protect]

He quickly saved the post he had just sent and deleted his access history, while also protecting Hayakawa Aki on the other side of the screen so that his actions would not be discovered by officials from the Metropolitan Police Department.

It turned out that the Metropolitan Police Department's tax thief, despite the highest order from the police top brass, still allowed this post to exist for nearly thirty seconds before disappearing.

In those thirty seconds, Light Yagami completed all of the aforementioned operations. He even had the leisure to follow the internet cable to find Hayakawa Aki's address and send out a pop-up window with a single English word: "Killer."

"This is perfect coordination~"

"If it were the current Hayakawa Aki, he would definitely be able to pass the so-called believer's test!"

After doing all this, Light Yagami slowly opened the "top secret information" sent by Hayakawa Aki.

Lines of cold words and pictures slid down in Light Yagami's pupils. The more he saw clearly, the more the corners of Light Yagami's mouth curled up.

This is exactly the opportunity he needs!

"Plan pass り——"

...

...

Everything went as Hayakawa Aki expected. The post he sent with his enlightenment was deleted by the network security in less than thirty seconds, just like water disappearing into water without causing any ripples.

Just as he was about to close the screen and choose the most brilliant ending in his mind, something unusual on the screen caught his attention.

【Killer】

Hayakawa Aki's pupils suddenly shrank as he stared at the pop-up window.

"what happened?"

"Has Kira seen the contents?"

A light rekindled within Hayakawa Aki's dead heart. If Kira saw the contents, he would undoubtedly take action! That way, even if he were attacked, he would die without regrets. Although he still had many questions to ask, the pop-up message didn't include any contact information. Only those six letters remained etched deeply in his mind.

The darker the moon, the deeper the darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Hayakawa Aki finally regained consciousness from the dizzying transformation. Dragging his stiff and exhausted body to the balcony, he lit a cigarette. The air was thick with the bitter, salty aroma of nicotine.

He leaned against the fence, his head naturally lowered, looking at the deserted street with a melancholy expression. As a police captain, he could have rented a luxurious apartment, but he chose to live in this old apartment near the road, donating most of his salary to the welfare home.

but...

Hayakawa Aki's gaze fixed as a man staggered into his sight on the sidewalk. He looked like a drunk.

Hayakawa Aki looked at the man expressionlessly: "What time is it now? Eleven o'clock? Or twelve o'clock?"

He rented an old apartment, and most of the surveillance facilities nearby were outdated or even non-existent, which led to the high crime rate. Japan is still the same Japan, at least for now, there has been no significant improvement in public security due to Kira's appearance.

If you dare to wander alone in this dangerous neighborhood at this time, the possibility of being robbed will greatly increase. You may be attacked by a thug who suddenly jumps out at the next street corner and steals all your belongings.

In the past, Hayakawa Aki might have gone downstairs to remind and escort the other person, but now... his mood has completely changed.

"Even if someone sacrifices his life to light a lamp, the long night will never end..."

Hayakawa Aki casually crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray beside him, brushed the dust off his hands, turned around and prepared to go back to the room.

But the next second, the unusual movement on the sidewalk caught his attention.

The man who was staggering before suddenly covered his hands and coughed up a mouthful of blood, then reached out to grab his chest and twitched violently. Finally, with Hayakawa Aki's almost dazed expression, he fell to the ground with a bang.

"What's happening here?"

"Heart palsy?"

"Kira?!"

Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and Hayakawa Aki realized that this might be Kira sending him some kind of message.

"What could it be? What message was he trying to send by manipulating someone to die downstairs in my apartment?"

"Or was it just an accident?"

Without giving it much thought, Hayakawa Aki hurriedly threw on his coat and rushed downstairs. The distance wasn't far, and within a minute or two, he was at the scene. The moment he stepped onto the scene, Hayakawa Aki's steps faltered, realizing that the area where the man had collapsed was in a blind spot for surveillance cameras.

"That means if Kira wants to communicate with me here, he won't be discovered."

Getting closer, step by step.

Hayakawa Aki came to the side of the corpse. All the wanted criminals active in the Chiba area were remembered by this elite policeman. After seeing the face of the corpse clearly, he confirmed that the other party was a wanted criminal.

The corpse's hands were tightly covering its chest. Apart from the subconscious reaction of the human body when the heart is paralyzed, there is also a possibility that there is some vital information hidden inside.

Hayakawa Aki had no suspicion and put on the gloves he carried with him without any expression. He gently opened the dead man's coat and saw a piece of white paper about the size of A4 stuck on the inner layer.

"Could it be this?"

Hayakawa Aki carefully took it out. The words on it made his breath hitch.

[Hello, Inspector Hayakawa, I'm Kira]

[I have sensed your resignation, I have understood your awakening]

[Now please use the blood on the ground to write your name on this piece of paper. This is the final step. After that, I will execute all the sinners of the Truth Church.]

【Please keep the paper properly and take it away】

"Huh... is it so easy?"

In a world where the very fabric of right and wrong, good and evil, has been corrupted, the distinctions of black and white have been completely reversed. He, who has always believed in law and justice, is forced to collude with criminals to uphold justice.

This kind of person is enough to be defined as a "bad guy".

"But, even evil people need their own saviors!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Hayakawa Aki raised his hand, stained it with the blood coughed up by the criminal, and wrote his name on the notebook with a blank expression.

The moment his name was written, Hayakawa Aki felt as if an invisible hand were gripping his heart. A terrifying, suffocating feeling instantly enveloped him. The light in Hayakawa Aki's pupils seemed to dim.

"Kira...are you here to kill me?"

But... this terrifying feeling of suffocation only lasted for a moment, as if an invisible and unknowable god silently chose to leave after verifying a trivial matter.

Hayakawa Aki survived.

“Hehe——”

"What the hell is this..."

Hayakawa Aki took out his cell phone and called his subordinates to come here to collect the bodies.

While this operation might have had some procedural irregularities, it still left a mark on the scene, and a thorough investigation would inevitably result in disciplinary action. But he was a police captain, and who would let a criminal die? In a world where everyone was a corrupt police officer, Hayakawa Aki, who had only committed minor infractions, seemed like a role model.

Hayakawa Aki looked at the paper in his hand with suspicion, and an absurd and bold guess was born in his mind. He carefully put the notebook back into his pocket.

"Kira's secret to murder is probably using this piece of paper in his hand."

"That momentary suffocation...if you write your name on it, you'll die of a heart attack? That's for sure! But why...I'm fine?"

Hayakawa was puzzled by this, but he didn't dwell on it too much. After his subordinates rushed to the scene and hastily collected the body, he returned to his room and found another pop-up message on his screen.

If Inspector Hayakawa could still see this pop-up window, he would have probably survived the trial and roughly guessed how Kira's ability worked.

Please wait for my instructions. I will contact Inspector Hayakawa if necessary.

【Now you are my most loyal believer】

【Please note September 9】

"Heh, you compare yourself to God and call me a believer? That's quite an accurate title for me right now."

"Are you going to do anything on the ninth day of the ninth month, Kira?"

Hayakawa Aki's eyes were filled with darkness, without a trace of guilt for collaborating with criminals. Perhaps he had always been this extreme, but Kawada Ichiryu's death had only revealed the mask he wore before others.

Hayakawa Aki lit another cigarette, letting the white smoke drape the night in a white veil. The sunlight spilled onto the ground, but did it illuminate the dust or disappear into it?

...

...

"Have you determined their movements?"

Makima took a sip of coffee and said expressionlessly.

Ji Ye held the file in his hand and replied respectfully, "According to the Shinrikyo's venue use records, on September 9th, Shinrikyo core member Kiyo Hayakawa will go to Shibuya Ward in Tokyo to give a church speech."

"Well, that means Kira will kill Hayakawa Kiyo at that time." Makima murmured.

Kira wanted to show off his power, and she wanted to use this opportunity to arrest Kira. Then he would once again activate his ability to control animals and monitor the entire Tokyo. As long as Kira activated his power, he would definitely notice it!

At the same time, she will use her ability to control the power acting on Hayakawa Kiyo's body, so as to force and deduce Kira's whereabouts.

This is an impenetrable web that has been woven against Kira.

As long as... he dares to take action.
