Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

The next moment after Light Yagami made this move, the cold and sharp short blade was pressed against his neck. Light Yagami could even feel the strong wind brought by Ryougi Shiki's high speed, and it felt indescribably cold on his face.

"Yagami Light, you've done so many bad things!"

"Do you really think I dare not kill you?!"

I don't know if it was to intimidate Light Yagami to increase his deterrent power, or to convince himself, but the blade in his hand once again approached Light Yagami's neck.

A very shallow bloodstain appeared on Light Yagami's neck.

Life is hanging on the line.

If this blood line moves forward just an inch, it will sever Light Yagami's artery, and at the same time, it will also cut the death line in the demon's eye. Death is inevitable.

Ryougi Shiki's eyes were red, and under the moonlight, a faint crystal reflection could be seen.

Why didn't Light Yagami explain? Even the simplest excuse would have given Ryougi Shiki an excuse to hypnotize himself, but he said nothing...

Her heart was filled with turmoil, but her hand holding the knife remained remarkably steady. In this world, the Demon Eye and the knife were the only things that wouldn't deceive her...

"I believe you. After all, you're Shiki." As if unfazed by the threat of death, Light Yagami continued, "If you want to kill me, it's best not to strike my neck. Today's incident has become too much of a fuss. It will definitely attract a high-level investigation. This will naturally include the sudden appearance of the corpse of Light Yagami."

"I don't want you to be charged with murder."

"So... based on Araya's attack method, cut me in half!"

"Ogawa Apartment has already collapsed with the death of Araya Soren. It will soon collapse and cover up everything for Shiki."

"Right now, right here. Either kill me, or I will continue to purge this world as Kira from now on!"

"Let's do it! Shiki!"

The offensive and defensive dynamics seemed to reverse, and Light Yagami, whose life was threatened, took the initiative. Instead of advancing, he retreated, bringing his neck closer to Ryougi Shiki's dagger once again.

A trace of scarlet blood dripped down the blade.

This was the first time that Light Yagami felt so close to death.

"you--"

Ryougi Shiki's pupils shrank, and she instinctively retracted her knife-holding hand.

The choices in life are often like tossing a coin. It is not the coin that makes the choice for you, but your heart will tell you the answer at the moment the coin is tossed.

As Light Yagami advances, the answer in Ryougi Shiki's heart also surfaces.

Kill Light Yagami? She... couldn't do it.

How could he kill someone he had sworn to protect with his life?

Life is like a scale, with Light Yagami on one side and the sinners he killed on the other. The other side isn't the innocent masses, the innocent lives created by Light Yagami's extreme will to destroy the world...

Therefore, Ryougi Shiki couldn't do it and couldn't make up her mind.

Let Light Yagami be buried with those crimes, and let herself be the executioner... Ryougi Shiki can't do it.

'Why are you angry?'

At that moment, Ryougi Shiki fell into deep confusion. If she believed that all lives were unequal, and didn't think that Japanese law was necessarily good... why, why was she still so angry?

Was it because he'd been deceived by Ye Shen? Was it because his trust had been betrayed? Or was it because he was completely disappointed in Ye Shen? He spoke so much about being righteous, yet his other side was so dark...

Perhaps, each reason plays a role.

Physically and mentally exhausted could best describe Ryougi Shiki's current state of mind. The pain from the battle pales in comparison to the pain she feels within. She's shaky and on the verge of collapse, wanting to drop her dagger and fall into a deep sleep.

"I won this bet!!"

Light Yagami remained calm, but in his heart he had already declared victory.

He understood Ryougi Shiki better than she knew herself. But human nature is fickle, and even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, there was still a possibility that Ryougi Shiki would kill Light Yagami in a fit of rage.

It's a big gamble.

If they win, Ryougi Shiki's heart will be broken, and it will no longer be an obstacle to their future. If they lose... Light Yagami will give up his heart.

Of course, even if he knew this extreme situation would happen, Light Yagami would still make the same choice to come to Ryougi Shiki's rescue. He may have been deceiving women, but when faced with a matter of right and wrong, he would not hesitate to make the right choice.

The air returned to calm.

Ryougi Shiki's subconscious reaction meant that she had already made her choice.

Light Yagami smiled faintly, as gentle as ever. He raised his hand, gently placed his index finger on Ryougi Shiki's slender, white wrist, and without even a lick of force, he pushed her knife-wielding hand aside.

"Shiki... I'm sorry." Light Yagami apologized sincerely.

At this moment, the building was shaking violently, dust and rocks were falling from the ceiling, and it was on the verge of collapse.

"This is not the place to talk, let's get out of here quickly." Light Yagami took a few steps forward with his back to Ryougi Shiki.

"Yagami Light, what you said...is there even a trace of sincerity in it?"

"...We are friends. No matter what mistakes you make, I will forgive you. If one day it reaches a point of no return, I will definitely save you."

Light Yagami spoke rapidly, repeating the truth he had told Ryougi Shiki. His tone was filled with anxiety. If he dragged on any longer, the building would collapse.

"I will never forgive you. I will never let you go."

Ryougi Shiki's tone was dejected, and his hands dropped naturally. With a clang, his hands, which never voluntarily relinquished their weapons, loosened their grip, and the dagger fell to the ground. The color of his Mystic Eyes, which had been shining with strange light, gradually faded.

Not giving her the chance to feel discouraged, Light Yagami showed his dominance for once, grabbed her slender wrist and ran towards the elevator.

After pressing the down button several times, the elevator didn't respond. As Araya Soren said, Ogawa Apartment was dead. Yagami Light had no choice but to grab Ryougi Shiki's hand and run to the emergency exit.

Throughout the entire journey, Ryougi Shiki remained passive. She didn't take the initiative, didn't refuse, didn't make any choices, and simply let Light Yagami pull her wrist, feeling the warmth of his body.

In a trance, Ryougi Shiki thought how nice it would be if this scene was not based on deception.

It would be great if Light Yagami was not Kira.

But there are no ifs in this world.

It was not until the first floor that I saw Asagami Fujino lying on the ground, her life or death unknown, and bloody bodies scattered around.

Light Yagami didn't care about anything else. He bent down and carried Fujino Asagami outside in a princess hug.

Shortly after the three of them left Ogawa's apartment, a deafening crash was heard behind them. All the blood, tears, and sins were buried in the ruins.

The huge sound of collapse also awakened the unconscious Asagami Fujino. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Ryougi Shiki and immediately took a defensive stance. Although her body was very weak, she still opened her Distortion Mystic Eyes.

"When..." Asagami Fujino touched her lower abdomen in surprise. The pain that penetrated deep into her bones had disappeared since she didn't know when, as if she had undergone a painless minimally invasive surgery.

Looking at Ryougi Shiki again, he realized the knife in her hand was gone. For a hunter, losing a weapon meant...

Ryougi Shiki laughed at herself. Since she couldn't even bring herself to kill Light Yagami, she no longer had the need or the right to punish Asagami Fujino. In the initial battle on the bridge, she had only killed the appendicitis in Asagami Fujino's abdomen, and had never intended to kill her...

"The indecisive Ryougi Shiki is unfit to wield a sword."

Ryougi Shiki couldn't forgive herself for being like this. It was really... too bad.

Ryougi Shiki's sharp aura was fading at an alarming speed. If she was a sword unsheathed before, then now she was... just an ordinary girl.

"That's it...it doesn't matter anymore."

She will not forgive Light Yagami, nor does she want to care about a world that has become rotten. Possessing the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, she can kill all living things, but she is powerless against the human heart and its sins. Light Yagami's deception has ultimately broken her heart.

Now, she just wanted to return to the Liangyi family mansion on the other side of the bridge.

Liangyi put away his sword and stopped killing.

The power of the Demonic Eyes was ultimately unfortunate. Perhaps once she had gotten over this emotional knot, or perhaps Light Yagami had sent her a distress signal, the Demonic Eyes would be activated again...

Not wanting to say a single unnecessary word, the bloodstained white kimono no longer had its original purity. Ryougi Shiki turned around dejectedly and staggered towards home under the moonlight.

Asagami Fujino looked at Ryougi Shiki's back with a puzzled look on her face, somewhat confused about the current situation.

She fell unconscious the moment she entered Ogawa's apartment, and when she opened her eyes again, she was right here. However... that "divine will" within her disappeared, and Ryougi Shiki, who was chasing her, seemed to have suffered a major blow...

"How does it feel to accomplish revenge with your own hands, Miss Asakami?"

"Well, still..."

With a dazed look on her face, Asagami Fujino replied subconsciously, but quickly fell silent. She looked warily at the man who smiled gently at her.

'How does he know about someone he has never seen?'

"Don't look at me like that, Miss Asagami. We've already communicated, haven't we?"

"Have you communicated?"

The confusion in Asagami Fujino's eyes grew even more intense. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she stared at the boy in front of her who was about her age with wide eyes and blurted out, "You are... Kira?!"

Light Yagami nodded slightly with a smile on his face: "Nice to meet you, Miss Asakami."

"My name is Light Yagami, you can also call me——"

"Kira!"

Volume 1: Chapter 111: Light Yagami's Rumbling Declaration

"Miss Makima, something bad has happened!"

Inside the Anti-Demon Public Security Headquarters, Makima's office door was hastily opened by his men.

The subordinate's eyes were filled with fear, as if he was deeply shocked by the explosive news: "The Anti-Demon Public Security officers who went to Ogawa's apartment... all their vital signs have disappeared."

Makima paused as she stirred the coffee with a spoon, then asked expressionlessly, "When?"

"Just now."

"Also, according to the nearby surveillance, Ogawa Apartment...collapsed. Ms. Makima, I suspect this is all Kira's trick. His goal is to wipe out our elite members of the Demon Police in one fell swoop at Ogawa Apartment."

As one of the most highly-placed members of the Anti-Demon Police, he knew that the Kyoto team, led by Kishibe, was on a mission to capture Kira. But now, their vital signs had all vanished, and even the location Kira had provided had collapsed. Could this mean... this was all a trap set by Kira?

After the shock subsided, the female operator clenched her fists, a surge of anger at being mocked. Thirty elite soldiers, including four of them, including Minister Kishibe, had died at Kira's hands in such an inexplicable manner.

How absurd and how sad.

They were all careless, having assumed that Kira would not harm the innocent Anti-Demon Public Security. However, they never imagined that Kira, driven to desperation, had already broken that bottom line and become unscrupulous.

It's unimaginable what will happen next. How many more innocent people will Kira, now out of control, attack?

Makima turned the back of her chair and looked out the window at the bustling night scene of Chiyoda District with cold eyes.

There was still some time until the time she and Anbian agreed upon, but now she heard the news of Anbian's death...

Did Kira do that?

The verdict on this case remains in doubt. Makima knows Kira well enough to believe he wouldn't do something so utterly mad. After all, besides the Anti-Magic Police, there are also native residents in Ogawa Apartment...

Machima casually asked, "Ogawa Apartment collapsed. Did anyone escape from inside?"

"Surveillance footage..." The female operator swallowed. "After comparing faces, only the eldest daughters of the Yoji and Asagami families appeared near the scene."

"Send someone now to ask them to cooperate with the investigation." Makima took a sip of coffee and ordered calmly, "Anyway, appearing in such a place at such a time is a bit too coincidental."

“Immediately dispatch personnel from the nearby police station and do not allow anyone to enter or leave.”

"Yes, I understand!" The female operator hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then... Miss Makima?"

"Of course, I'll report this to the Chief Cabinet Secretary. After all, the one who died was Kishibe, the current top commander of Japan's Anti-Demon Division. With something this serious, I have to report it personally."

Makima stood up and said, "Since there are no other suspicious people nearby, there will be no obstacles in the follow-up investigation. Go ahead and do it. Also, bring back the bodies in Ogawa's apartment, especially the demon hunter's body."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."

"...Yes, I understand." The female operator felt subconsciously afraid of Makima like this. She pressed her right hand with her left hand, trying to stop the subconscious trembling.

Why did Miss Makima emphasize the demon hunter's corpse so much? She could only keep this question deep in her heart, not daring to ask it out loud.

"That's it, let's get started."

After giving the orders, Machima put on her black coat and was about to go out, but the office door was pushed open again.

That person was the operator responsible for monitoring, keeping an eye on, and coordinating with the Demon Hunters stationed outside. Her face was heavy at the moment. "Ms. Makima, something's wrong."

"what?"

"Operator Himeno, who was assigned by Minister Kishibe to Morioh Town to investigate the serial disappearances of women... just now, lost vital signs."

"The surveillance footage shows that Operator Ji Ye disappeared after turning the corner of the alley."

"The technical department analyzed that they were attacked by criminals with unknown superpowers."

Makima paused for two seconds before passing them and walking out the door. Her gaze was deep, and the corridor of the Public Security Building was dimly lit, and half of her body seemed to blend into the quiet moonlight.
