"welcome."

Deus sat on his altar, looking down at the contestants on the circular platform below. "Well then, now that everyone is here, let me explain the rules of this survival game again."

"First of all, the diaries you hold are called Future Diaries."

"This was originally an ordinary diary that you used, but by distorting time, it can show your future."

"But the gifts from the gods are not free. You must hunt each other in this game, plunder and merge the future diaries of others! And the last one to survive in the survival game will have the opportunity to ascend the throne of the gods and become a true god!"

"Gods?"

Chosen as number 1, the girl with long pink hair silently observes the others on the platform around her.

Because of Deus's interference, the game participants can only see each other's outlines. Although they can use this to determine each other's gender, height, and body type, they cannot see each other's faces.

This is undoubtedly a form of protection for them.

2nd is a slender girl with long twin tails, and she is the only person Miku knows, Yuno Gasai.

The 4th is a tall, adult male wearing a suit.

5th is a child, who looks to be only five or six years old.

The 6th is a woman dressed as a shrine maiden, kneeling on the ground.

7th is a bad hairstyle with a spiral airplane shape.

8th is an older woman whose figure has changed.

And the remaining 12th, who wore a strange hood and dressed in bizarre ways.

Including herself, there were only 8 people in total.

On the platforms where the 3rd, 9th, 10th, and 11th are located, there is now only the blood-red 'DEAD END'!

This means that four people have already been eliminated before the game has even started!

Miku Nakano never intended to become a god, didn't want to participate in any games, and didn't want to kill anyone; she just wanted to live.

"Have four people already died?"

4th looked around, his expression somewhat serious.

Yuno Gasai was the first to ask:

"Deus, is there a time limit for this game?"

"Three months."

Deus's gaze fixed on Yuno Gasai. "That is, by July 28th, if a winner has not been determined by then, everyone will lose their qualification to become a god, and I will collect all of your future diaries. Those who were involved will also lose all memories of this game within the past three months, and those who are still alive can return to normal life."

The fourth person's eyes flickered slightly, and without hesitation, they called out to the others:

"If that's the case, there's no need for us to fight each other, is there?"

"Let me state upfront that I have no desire to become a god, nor will I kill anyone. If the only punishment for not participating in the game is losing abilities that were never meant to be ours, I can accept that."

"of course."

He paused briefly, then continued:

"I will also protect other game participants who share the same ideas."

"puff."

7th, the delinquent with the spiral-shaped haircut sneered, "Who knows if you're telling the truth? You say you'll protect us, but aren't you secretly planning to find out our identities and then kill us? Those four who've already been eliminated, you might be the one who did it!"

The fourth seemed to have anticipated this, but he simply recounted it calmly:

"I know you won't easily believe me, so I won't ask you to provide any information about yourselves. As long as you don't break the law, you can enjoy the convenience of knowing the future until July 28th."

"To show my sincerity, I can reveal my identity."

"My name is Keigo Kurusu. I am currently the head of the Special Crimes Investigation Division 5, First Investigation Section, Criminal Investigation Department, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. My phone number is..."

4th's candor silenced everyone, though there was suspicion that he had deliberately given a false name. But the fact that he could provide such accurate identification information at least proved that he and Keigo Kurusu did indeed have a very deep relationship, if not a friend, then an enemy.

Regardless of which one it is, others can find him through Keigo Raisu.

of course.

The most likely scenario is that he wasn't lying; he really is Keigo Raisu and genuinely wants to help others. If someone did call him, it means that person is being hunted down by other participants.

For those who don't want to participate in the game or fight with others, this is undoubtedly a windfall. But for those who aspire to become gods, Keigo Raisu will become the biggest stumbling block on their path to godhood.

Whoever they want to target, they must first consider the threat posed by Keigo Raisu.

of course.

They could also choose to start with the 4th.

But if 4th really is Keigo Kurusu, the head of the Special Crime Investigation Division 5 of the First Investigation Division, it wouldn't be so easy for ordinary people to investigate him.

After all, what if he was deliberately luring others to investigate?

That's a complete trap.

Those who don't want to become gods won't investigate him, while those who do want to become gods risk being investigated by him.

Many thoughts flashed through Nakano Miku's mind, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She feared that the other participants were like the 3rd and 9th—murderers or terrorists who would relentlessly hunt down others.

If everyone had the same idea as 4th, the game might have ended peacefully...

Perhaps because of 4th's remarks, no one is now easily expressing their own opinions.

If you obey the 4th, you are giving up the chance to become a god.

If everyone gives up, Deus might just declare the game over.

However, if one refutes it in public, one will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism and risk being attacked by the masses.

Similarly, publicly supporting the 4th also carries the risk of becoming a target of public criticism.

After all, there are still 8 people left, and no one can be sure what the remaining 6 people's attitudes are. With four people already eliminated, isn't it natural to suspect that there might be a real killer among them?

and so.

Silence itself is an attitude.

“Deus”.

Keigo Raisu was not surprised by the silence of the others; he continued to ask Deus:

"I want to know how the other four were eliminated?"

Deus's enormous head stretched out in front of them:

“我不会告诉你们具体原因,但可以告诉你们,3rd、9st、10th还有11th的死都跟1st和2nd有关,并且10th是2nd亲手杀死的。”

This time.

All eyes turned to 1st and 2nd, their expressions filled with disbelief.

The 4th Keigo Kurusu's gaze towards them also became extremely wary:

"Aren't these two girls a bit too ruthless?"

Although their faces weren't clearly visible, judging from their clothing, they were probably quite young, likely students. They looked completely harmless, yet they silently took down four people!

Moreover, since Deus put 1st and 2nd together, doesn't that mean they have formed an alliance?

Deus said that the 10th was killed by the 2nd himself, so weren't the other three killed by the 1st?

How did they discover the identities of the other people?

Isn't this the first meeting of the game?

Isn't this the first time they've met?

Why did they already know the identities of the other people before the meeting even started?

This just doesn't make sense, does it?

For some reason, a thought flashed through everyone's mind:

These two girls, are they...?

"It wasn't me! Why is everyone staring at me like that?"

Nakano Miku trembled. "I didn't kill a single person! The pressure of you all watching me like this is really immense!"

Moreover, isn't Deus's description a bit too leading?

Although the 3rd, 9th, and 11th, as well as the original 1st, did die because of her, wasn't it Kira who did it?

What? Kira-kun only attacked because of her?

That's fine.

Nakano Miku took a deep breath and accepted the gazes of others with composure.

Let's just assume she killed him. After all, she can't very well implicate Kira-kun, can she?

and……

Nakano Miku looked up at the enormous, mechanical-like 'god' and felt a strange sense of unease.

Do gods look like this?

Even if it's a god, shouldn't it be a god of machines?

Deus is clearly not a benevolent god, as can be seen from the so-called games He organizes and His ambiguous answers.

After all.

Can the winner of this game really become a god?

Does anyone know if this is a Deus scam?

and also--

Why did no one question her identity?

She's not the original number 1!
