It's hard to imagine the torture he was enduring. His flesh was tearing apart, his bones were burning. He seemed to be using all his strength to crawl out, raising his right hand above his head, but eventually, his strength gave out. He gradually turned into a pool of blazing mud, unable to rise again.
The bloody M and the spontaneously combusting corpse, all of this has exceeded people's imagination.
Someone held up a mobile phone, suppressed the fear in his heart, and quickly spread the strange scene before him through the Internet.
Someone knelt on the ground helplessly, looking up at the sky: "Oh God..."
No one noticed the figure walking out of the back door of Araki Financial Company.
...
Light Yagami spread out the Death Note, tore off the page he had written today, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the inconspicuous trash can on the street.
In the corner of the notebook, "Self-immolation" was clearly written.
After the paper was discarded, the writing on it unexpectedly began to "burn itself." From the name to the cause of death, the words on it eventually returned to nothingness. Just like the person erased by the notes.
Bleeding from knife wounds, falling into an elevator shaft, and human self-immolation are the most painful ways of death that Light Yagami can currently think of. The feeling of having all limbs cut off, witnessing one's own blood constantly draining away, and finally enduring death by flames is enough to make people desire to seek death on their own initiative.
Faced with such pain, death is the happiest way to get rid of it.
Light Yagami walked to the street, his hands in his pockets, staring at the blazing fire in the house. In a trance, he saw the woman he had sentenced to death, smiling gently at him.
It was not until the sound of sirens was heard in the distance that Light Yagami turned and left.
It takes about 5 minutes to walk from here to the restaurant. As I walked on the road, the voice in my head started to ring.
"Special Mission: The Birth of Kira"
"Mission Status: You have executed ten criminals, including the ringleader, but it seems someone behind the scenes has escaped your punishment. You left behind the symbol of Kira, and were able to spread it through the Internet to announce your existence to the world..."
"Task Verification: Completed. Completion: 80%."
『Task evaluation: a flaw in the ointment』
"Rewards: Master-level false voice skills (all voice software will find it difficult to detect your false voice), master-level stealth skills (you will be able to avoid most conventional cameras and detect cameras that are not hidden deeply)"
"Ok?"
Light Yagami was stunned.
The person behind the scenes...he actually overlooked this.
The moment he saw Endo Hiroshi, Light Yagami couldn't hold back his murderous intent. He should have used his note-taking ability to force Endo Hiroshi to tell him who was behind him.
"But it doesn't matter. The police will intervene and investigate this incident later. By then, through Makima's computer, we should be able to find out who the big shot Endo Hiro is talking about."
"Then we'll kill them all together."
To eradicate all evil, the family must be on the road together.
However, this reward was a pleasant surprise for Light Yagami. While it wasn't as powerful as the full-fledged abilities, it could be considered a simplified version. His voice-spoofing abilities aside, his stealth skills would likely allow him to freely navigate execution sites without worrying about being spotted by cameras or even human eyes.
The psychologists' research is correct.
Sometimes, seeking a sense of accomplishment, criminals return to crime scenes, or other locations where they are more exposed. Narcissistic and paranoid individuals often return to crime scenes, deriving pleasure and a sense of control from witnessing the panic of the crowd and the police's reaction. For some psychopaths, killing isn't the ultimate goal; observing the reactions of others, especially the police, is.
But such research does not apply to Light Yagami.
Just now, he saw the shocked and terrified crowd outside, listened to their praises and curses, but felt little emotion. In other words, he didn't feel the expected "sense of recognition" or "disappointment."
Whether the onlookers were cursing "good thing he died" or accusing him of "having no right to kill", Light Yagami didn't care.
Even if his efforts are not recognized by society and ordinary people, he will still stick to the path he believes is right. Yagami Light said silently: "I don't care about that."
Because from the beginning to the end, he was just a hero who acted out of interest.
...
"Hey, Yue-kun, where did you go?"
Kitagawa Umi touched his full stomach with a satisfied look on his face and looked out the window curiously: "There are so many people gathered there, and there seem to be sirens. Is something wrong?"
"I don't know~"
Yagami Light shrugged, putting on a confused expression: "Things like that probably have nothing to do with us. Have you eaten enough?"
"Yeah, I'm full!" Kitagawa Umi nodded repeatedly, a sweet smile blooming. It was indeed a famous couple's restaurant. Even without a couple, the dishes were still delicious.
"Now that we're full, we should go back."
Volume 1: 18 Police Actions
Yagami House.
Light Yagami opened the door calmly and stuck half of his body out.
"Yue-kun, you're back~"
I saw Makima sitting on the sofa, she had changed into her uniform and was wearing the pure black coat.
"Eh? Miss Makima, you're still going out at this time? Is something wrong?" Light Yagami glanced at the clock, which was pointing to 6.
Normally, Makima wouldn't be working overtime at this time. There was only one possibility: a major case had occurred and needed to be handled. If it was a major case...Yagami Light understood. It was him.
"Something happened in the Central District."
"Could it be the Araki Financial Company incident?" Light Yagami asked knowingly.
"Huh? Yue-kun knows everything?"
“It’s a little hard to know.”
Light Yagami took out his cell phone, which was playing footage taken by the crowd. The number of likes and comments on the video was soaring at an alarming rate.
"It seems like a major incident. Nine bodies were found in the lobby of the loan company alone. The symbol "M" was painted in blood on the walls and floor. I'm afraid it's more than just a simple internal conflict within the Yakuza organization." Yagami Light offered his own analysis: "Perhaps someone is seeking revenge."
"maybe."
Makima's tone sounded a bit cold. She slowly walked over to Light Yagami and gently placed her hands on his cheeks. Their foreheads rested against each other, enjoying the moment of tenderness before leaving. But soon, a hint of doubt appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"Yue-kun, where did you go just now?"
"I'm having dinner with Kitagawa, you know that, sister." Yagami Light paused and said, "But I saw the address where this video was posted, it seems to be not far from the restaurant where we are having dinner."
"Is that so..." Makima nodded thoughtfully, "Tsuki-kun, please take a leave of absence from the cram school tonight."
"Huh? Why?"
"It's too unsafe." Makima's face was full of tenderness. "It doesn't matter how many scumbags in the financial company die. But since such a big thing has happened, as Yiyue-kun just said, there may be a murderer wandering around Chiba."
"I, your sister, don't want you to get hurt. I don't want you to be at risk like that."
"So, why don't you just stay home today? Wait until your sister investigates the harm of the incident."
A somewhat stiff smile appeared on Light Yagami's face. Did this count as shooting himself in the foot? But since Miss Makima had already said this, it would be unreasonable for him to disobey her any further.
"Okay, I understand. I won't go out until Makima has thoroughly investigated the matter," Light Yagami replied obediently, then added in a teasing tone, "But, Miss Makima, please remember that you can't say what you just said in front of outsiders."
"Even if you think the people in the financial company are trash, if outsiders hear it, they might accuse you of being cold-blooded, Miss Makima."
"Accusations from outsiders?" Makima tilted her head, sizing up Light Yagami curiously. "What does Light-kun think of this?"
Light Yagami said without hesitation: "Good death."
"That's enough."
"As long as Yue-kun is by my side, it doesn't matter what others think~"
"Actually, if that kind of garbage dies, it's dead. I don't want to bother with it. But it happens to be within my area of responsibility, so I have to go. If I don't go today, I might not be able to get home on time in the future."
Makima opened her arms and gently embraced Light Yagami in her arms. She rested her head on Light Yagami's neck and greedily inhaled. Her golden eyes showed no signs of emotion. The smell of blood she could smell became even stronger.
But Makima said nothing, loosened her hands, and said calmly: "I'm leaving. Yuejun is alone at home, please be careful."
"I'm not a three-year-old child, don't worry, Miss Makima."
bang——
After watching Makima leave, Light Yagami rubbed his temples with a headache.
After 60 days of surveillance, it seems that I will stop today. I don't know when Makima will come back. If I find that I'm not at home when she comes back...
Light Yagami cannot bear the consequences of that.
Washboards, handcuffs, and even police whips were all thrown at him. Of course, the physical pain was a minor concern; he didn't want to destroy the bond of trust between him and Makima. Trust is not about small or large; just one breach can inevitably crack even the most close relationship.
Makima was the most important relative he had ever had since crossing into this world. He didn't want the trust between them to be shattered, even slightly.
"call···"
Slumped on the sofa, Light Yagami pulled out his phone and found the number marked with Ryougi Shiki. Without hesitation, he quickly edited a "leave request" message and prepared to send it to her.
Unexpectedly, Ryougi Shiki sent a message to him before him.
[Ryougi Shiki: I have something to do today, so please don't come.]
"..."
Light Yagami breathed a sigh of relief, his guilt instantly dissipating. It was like when a man and a woman break up, both of them prepared a plan, but the woman spoke first. He felt a sense of relief.
After quickly deleting all the leave requests, Light Yagami replied, "Okay."
After finishing all this, Yagami Light looked up at the familiar ceiling: "Jurisdiction, scope of functions, Miss Makima, who are you..."
...
Ji Ye waved his hand, directing the grassroots police on the scene to set up a cordon to block the surging reporters and onlookers outside. He took out the cigarette from his mouth, threw it on the ground and crushed it, then entered the interior of Araki Financial Company first.
As soon as I entered, I was stunned by the scene inside.
The corpse lay on the ground, its dark red blood splattered all over the floor, easily staining anyone who wasn't careful. The corpse's arms and legs were twisted in irregular shapes, as if they had been struck hard by an external force.
The lobby on the first floor is filled with densely packed "M"s, as if someone is proving their existence.
The most horrifying sight was the "corpse" in front of the elevator, leaving only ashes and blackened bones. Strangely, it was the only body so burned, while the flammable materials nearby remained intact.
It was as if some magical external force isolated the original body of this corpse from the world and punished it alone.
Ji Ye ordered: "Have the autopsy results come out? Also, check out all the surveillance footage from the entire building and the surrounding area.

Volume 1: 19 The Birth of Kira
Thanks to the high crime rate, the Japanese government has finally begun to focus on the training of forensic scientists. This has led to a steady increase in the number of people employed in the profession, preventing tragedies like those in "unnatural deaths" from happening again.
Autopsy, they are professionals.
The police officer in charge of compiling and reporting the relevant details at the scene came to Ji Ye and reported with some embarrassment: "Inspector, the autopsy is still in progress, but there may be some problems here. I need you to take a look."
"what?"
Ji Ye recognized him, a very experienced grassroots police officer, his name seemed to be Hayakawa. Normally, nothing would cause him to react like this. What could it be?
Ji Ye followed Hayakawa to the monitoring room and began to check the surveillance footage before the witness arrived:
The two gatekeepers seemed to be welcoming someone to the main entrance, but the door was pushed open, but the person who pushed it open was not captured in the photo. Even the conversation was the same, the two people were talking to the air from beginning to end.
The same is true for subsequent monitoring.
The long-haired man stood respectfully beside the sofa, which seemed to be occupied by someone. He stood there motionless, watching the seven people fighting in front of him.
The same thing happened with the third-floor surveillance camera, which captured Endo Makoto seemingly talking to the air. His reaction upon entering the elevator was as if he had witnessed something indescribably terrifying.
"How is this going?"
Such an absurd scene made Ji Ye frown deeply.
Araki Financial Company is the target she has been pursuing. She has been trying to get evidence of the group's crimes from Tsuruta Kusunoko, but before she could start the investigation, the group died strangely in this way?
Everyone seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, trapped in an unknown illusion and no one survived.
'Someone hacked into the surveillance here and erased my presence?' Ji Ye immediately thought of this and asked casually, "Are there any witnesses?"
"Unfortunately, no. No one saw who entered Araki Financial. Even the surveillance cameras along the street didn't capture any suspicious individuals."
"Officer Himeno, there's also this place."
After exiting the surveillance room, Hayakawa Aki led Himeno to the third floor, to Endo Hiroshi's office. This room was not equipped with surveillance cameras. Several forensic officers gathered at the door, bewildered, only to see the white wall covered in suffocating red spray paint.
