Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

Ji Ye's pupils suddenly shrank. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she was also shocked by the amount of information contained in Asahara Shoko's words.

If, as he said yesterday, everything he said was true, the consequences would be horrific. This was the peak hour for traffic, and if, as he said, the Apocalypse virus was released in the Tokyo subway, how many people would die?!

There was no time to rejoice over Light Yagami's exoneration, as a vicious incident that shocked the entire nation of Japan unfolded. If they had truly carried it out, the destructive power they would have caused would have far surpassed Kira's.

This may be a vicious case that will go down in the history of Japan.

Ji Ye rushed downstairs, started the engine, and sped off with a single step on the accelerator. Her mind gradually constructed the connection between Asahara Shoko's words.

I discovered that these routes have one thing in common: they're close to the Imperial Palace and government offices. If the virus were to leak there...

Ji Ye shuddered.

She couldn't imagine the consequences of that. The entire Japan would be at risk of being overthrown.

"Thank goodness, Kira is here."

Although he wanted to arrest Kira nine times out of ten, this time, Himeno had to thank Kira.

"It's not too late, everything is still in time, evacuate and rescue immediately!"

……

……

"Makima, do you have anything to say?"

The Chief Cabinet Secretary rested his chin on his hands, adjusted the lenses of his glasses with his fingers, and held the report on the incident in his hand with an indifferent expression.

"Without following any formalities, 30 death row inmates serving life sentences or above were transferred from the Ministry of Justice in a manner that was practically a robbery."

"Over 50 extremist members of the Truth Church died at your hands without trial."

"Executing a local police deputy chief in front of the SAT troops..."

The Chief Cabinet Secretary's tone suddenly rose: "Machima, who gave you this power?! Have you forgotten the contract between you and the Cabinet?!"

Machima, who had been left outside the official residence for a whole day, looked normal without a trace of fatigue, and was still wearing the blood-stained combat uniform.

"Of course it's the authority you gave me, sir. This is all about arresting Kira, isn't it?"

"Arrest Kira?" The Chief Cabinet Secretary slammed the table. "Now tell me, where are Kira?!"

"Apart from the corpse you created in the name of arresting Kira, where not a single bone could be found, is there any clue about Kira? No! Nothing! You disappoint me so much, Makima!"

The Chief Cabinet Secretary looked at Makima with eyes filled with anger and deep fear.

It's just that fifty civilians died, and there was a deputy chief of police who was far outside the core power circle. Dead is dead, and the people below have their own rules. There will be people who compete for the vacant position, which is actually a good thing for the vitality of the pool.

His anger wasn't directed at Makima's unruly killing, but rather at the fact that despite causing such a commotion, they still hadn't resolved their chief concern. Kira hadn't even been seen, and he was still acting as a messenger of justice right under his noses.

They signed that contract with Makima just to use her as a good dog and suppress all destabilizing factors that could threaten the lives of their high-level officials.

Makima is the ruling demon.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary signed a contract with the ruling demon on behalf of the Cabinet and the entire Japan.

The contract stipulated that Makima could not control or harm the Chief Cabinet's personnel in any form or by any means, and must obey the Chief Cabinet's reasonable orders and protect them at all costs. This was like putting a chain of power around the demon's neck.

But the price was equally cruel. It was like being on the two ends of a scale, with the former at one end and the latter at the cost of the lives of all Japanese citizens, thus maintaining a balance between the two.

When Makima dies, one random person among all Japanese citizens will die in an accident to replace Makima's death, and Makima himself will be resurrected at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, this randomness is also limited. Otherwise, what if they accidentally hurt their master?

The first to be randomly selected for death would be the prisoners, starting with the most serious crimes. Then, civilians would be selected, including everyone except civil servants. Finally, their masters would be randomly selected, starting with the highest official rank, from the smallest to the largest.

It can be said that unless there are a few more happy bullets from familiar people, or dozens or hundreds of gun-headed demons appear and kill all the people below their official office, otherwise, no matter how Makima dies, it will not implicate them.

A contract that guarantees profit.

But this contract offered them no reward. Wasn't the purpose of having Makima form the Anti-Demon Section 4 to prevent psychics from harming them? The biggest source of instability had already been in the outside world for two weeks, and Makima still couldn't resolve it.

But a contract is a contract after all. Even if you are dissatisfied, you cannot terminate it unilaterally.

"You disappoint me so much, Makima." The Chief Cabinet Secretary leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the expensive table. "The Kyoto team will arrive in Tokyo soon, and they will be responsible for leading the capture of Kira."

"As for you, Makima, you are not allowed to mobilize the SAT again. You are responsible for providing the greatest possible assistance to the Kyoto Group and following their orders. Don't let me hear reports of you killing another local police officer. Do you understand?"

"understood."

Makima replied expressionlessly, showing no sign of being deprived of power.

"Go out."

The Chief Cabinet Secretary rubbed his nose nervously. He had no way to deal with Makima. Fortunately, she was relatively obedient and had no desire for power. This was just a small matter, so he could just give her a warning and let it go. Otherwise... he might have to secretly contact the Kyoto group to suppress and seal Makima.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

"Oh no, sir! The latest news is that Asahara Shoko of the Truth Cult, under Kira's control, revealed his plan to release the Apocalypse Virus at the Chiyoda Line subway station near the Government Building."

"Please avoid it immediately!"

"Nanda?!"

The Chief Cabinet Secretary slammed the table and stood up, his eyes full of panic, and he had lost all the dignity he had when scolding Makima. He was not immortal like Makima, and no one could die in his place. If someone was killed, they would die.

He didn't want to take even the slightest risk.

He immediately ordered, "Machima, you will take charge of this matter! Execute whoever intends to release the virus on the spot!"

Volume 1: 82 The Morioh Town Serial Disappearance of Women

[The criminal released the Apocalypse virus on the Chiyoda Line. All nearby residents are requested to evacuate in an orderly manner! ]

"Who's talking? I was kidnapped, and then rescued by Makima-san and Ryougi Shiki. So I'm in the hospital now?"

drop--

Light Yagami slowly opened his eyes, his gaze met with a soft white ceiling. He was in a single-patient room. The sound of hurried, frantic footsteps echoed from the corridor outside. He instinctively sat up straight, his head aching as if someone had inserted a needle into it and was violently twisting it.

"Ya Shen...are you awake?!"

Ryougi Shiki held a long sword with the nine characters "All warriors and fighters march in formation" engraved on it in her arms, and looked at Light Yagami who was sitting on the hospital bed with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Her voice was full of surprise.

The death lines that covered Light Yagami's body when he collapsed yesterday were real. According to Ryougi Shiki's experience, the more death lines there were, the more fragile the target's life was.

In other words, Light Yagami was on the verge of death yesterday. This was absolutely true. Yet, despite suffering such a serious injury, he recovered in just one day. Such physical fitness was simply not human. This also made Ryougi Shiki vaguely want to cut Light Yagami open to see if he was really a demon.

"Liang Yi..."

Light Yagami covered his head and groaned in pain. He seemed to have lost an important memory, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't recall it.

"Yashi, how are you? Does your head hurt?"

This made Ryougi Shiki a little flustered. Having little experience in taking care of people, she subconsciously drew the blade in her arms and wanted to chop off Light Yagami's head.

Worrying leads to confusion. In reality, even she, known for her miraculous healing skills, would be helpless without knowing the specific symptoms. Just the general description of a headache revealed too many possibilities.

"Yes."

Light Yagami blinked his innocent eyes, looking at the coldly glowing figure of Kanesada in Ryougi Shiki's arms, and subconsciously flinched. Although he had lost his memory, his instinct told him that he would be chopped down by Ryougi Shiki, and he didn't know why he had such a thought.

He silently hid the lost memory in his heart.

Secrets make men more manly, this has always been the rule that Light Yagami abides by. Except for certain people, he never shares his secrets without reservation.

Hearing the noise inside the house, several police officers assigned by Jiye to guard the house were also surprised. However, they still did not forget their duties and immediately called Jiye: "Officer Jiye, Light Yagami has woken up."

"I understand. Lift the surveillance on Light Yagami and immediately evacuate him and Miss Liangyi from the hospital!"

"The criminal released the Apocalypse virus in a subway station not far from you."

“Oh…I understand!”

What a terrible word.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Light Yagami discovered that his hearing was surprisingly good. He could vaguely hear the conversation between them, "surveillance", "prisoner", and "Apocalypse Virus".

"What happened? Am I under suspicion? Is it related to my lost memory?"

Unable to suppress the doubts in his heart, Yagami Light asked cautiously, "Liangyi, am I under surveillance now? Am I under suspicion? What is it?"

Light Yagami looked at Ryougi Shiki with clear and flawless eyes, which made her ears gradually turn red and she tilted her head slightly stiffly.

"It's all right now. Due to some coincidences, you, Yagami, were suspected to be Kira...but how could such a thing be possible?"

Yagami is Kira? Don't be ridiculous. This conjecture, uttered by Himeno, only wavered for a moment before being rejected by Ryougi Shiki. She didn't believe in speculations based on coincidences without evidence. She only trusted her own eyes and ears.

The lines on his body and the smell he exuded made him look completely like an ordinary person. Although his physical fitness was as strong as a demon, it was still within the scope of ordinary people and had nothing to do with the mysterious world.

Aside from that, Ryougi Shiki remembered everything Light Yagami had said to her. Those words were absolutely, absolutely true! Those words were filled with endless tenderness, that compassion, like that of a Madonna, the genuine emotion contained in those words... how could they be false?!

Ryougi Shiki couldn't imagine that these words were fake. There would not be such a shameless person in the world, and Light Yagami would not be so pretentious!

To sum up, Yashin definitely cannot be Kira!

It was this deeply rooted idea that made Ryougi Shiki feel a little dissatisfied with Himeno's actions.

"You two, please evacuate here quickly. Something big happened at the subway station!" The young police officer in charge of surveillance ran up to the two and said anxiously.

Boom——! !

A loud noise echoed, and several people looked out the window. They saw a plume of thick purple smoke rising from the subway station, about 100 meters away. Fortunately, there was no wind, so the purple smoke still had some distance to go before it reached the hospital. But with such things, who could say for sure?

"Purple represents the Apocalypse Virus, and red represents...bug eggs?"

"Are these people crazy? They would carry out such a suicide attack in Tokyo." The young police officer murmured.

Ryougi Shiki looked towards the subway station with some worry. If there were still people inside who had not evacuated, or if someone was infected with the Apocalypse virus, she could save some of them with her abilities.

It’s just that... now she has to stay by Light Yagami’s side all the time.

Light Yagami quietly looked at Ryougi Shiki's profile, and seeing her slightly flickering eyes, he probably guessed what she was thinking.

"Liang Yi, if you want to save someone, go ahead. I have the protection of the police lady, and no one can hurt me."

Light Yagami still clearly remembered that Ryougi Shiki possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which could kill the Apocalypse Virus in the human body. This part was clear, but...

"Why do I subconsciously feel fear towards this ability? Is this also related to my lost memories?"

Light Yagami grew increasingly curious. He had always been a man of strong control, even over himself. At this moment, his CPU was spinning at full speed, pondering the question of his own memory.

Looking at Light Yagami's sincere eyes, Ryougi Shiki's heart moved. She felt as if something had changed since Light Yagami woke up. What exactly had changed? It was hard to pinpoint, but it was probably as if the last trace of impurities had been removed from his eyes, leaving only the most pristine innocence.

Yes, innocence!

The current Ye Shen's eyes were as pure as a blank slate filled with naive curiosity about the world. Even the slightest impurity tainted by this awful world had disappeared.

"Such a Night God, I really envy him..."

Ryougi Shiki nodded heavily: "I will solve this trouble as quickly as possible and then return to you, Yagami."

After saying that, Ryougi Shiki stopped being pretentious and quickly disappeared from the ward with a few flashes.

Light Yagami, supported by two female police officers, walked to the corridor in a hospital gown with difficulty and was evacuated in the panicked and crowded crowd.

As they walked, Light Yagami suddenly asked, "Officer, can you tell me something about Kira?"

"Eh?"

"Being mistakenly identified as Kira's suspect is the only thing I can't stand. I want to prove my innocence."

"It's nothing. Officer Himeno has ruled out suspicion on you, Brother Yagami." Being stared at by such sincere eyes, even a young police officer like her found it a little difficult to bear, and she muttered softly.

"I'm just curious. If it's too difficult, forget it."

"Forget it, Sachiko, let's just talk to Yagami-san about some things. Anyway, Ji Ye-san has ruled out Yagami as a suspect."

"Well... okay. We weren't there at the time, and we heard about it from others." The young officer paused, looking a little nervous. "Because the prisoners who died in the Shinrikyo dojo at the time were absolutely certain that Kira was among the fourteen survivors, including you, Yagami-kun. That's why Officer Himeno asked us to monitor you."

"That's it..."

Light Yagami's eyes flickered. These words were consistent with his memory. There was one thing Light Yagami could confirm: he was not Kira, and judging by the reactions of the other survivors, they couldn't be Kira either.

"This is the wrong direction, completely wrong. I'm afraid Kira has been staying out of the vortex of events the entire time, secretly influencing the direction of the police investigation. Everyone has been deceived by him!"

Light Yagami gave his own judgment: "The fact that I was cleared of suspicion probably shows something wrong. Although I don't know what happened, it should be that during the time I was unconscious, Kira killed someone again, so I was cleared of suspicion."

"That's abominable, Kira. He's messing with the police investigation and throwing dirty water on me. I'll definitely catch him!"

Light Yagami clenched his fists, his eyes determined. This feeling of being forced to do nothing, of being smeared at will, ignited a fighting spirit within him. He was determined to catch Kira, the manipulator behind all this.
