Volume 1: 28 What do you think of human life?!
"Yes, I am Kira."
Light Yagami stood up, turned his back to the window, and let the strong wind blow through, making his school uniform rustle.
"I killed all ten people in Araki Financial Company."
"But what can I do? Yukinoshita, you want to arrest me? With the recorder in your pocket? Or with the page of notes I gave you?"
Light Yagami opened his arms, a mask of cold smile on his face, his eyes cold and full of amusement as he fully appreciated Yukinoshita's changeable expression.
The afternoon sun shines into the classroom through the window, creating an interweaving of light and shadow, warmth and tranquility.
But this kind of sun could not bring any warmth to Yukinoshita Yukino. Every breath seemed to bring a biting chill, and the world seemed to stand still. Yukinoshita felt lonely and helpless.
When she faced Light Yagami and the deep fear, she realized that she did not seem to be as correct and fearless as she had hoped.
"I've been discovered..."
Yukinoshita Yukino unconsciously loosened her hands from her pockets, letting them fall to her waist.
Light Yagami shook his head: "Yukinoshita Yukino, do you know what you are doing?"
"The head of the Yukinoshita family is a local councilor, and you have a sister who works for the Yukinoshita family's construction company. Who gave you the courage to come face to face with me alone?"
"Did your family come in wholesale?"
He walked over, making cold jokes. He reached up to Yukinoshita Yukino, bent down, and at an intimate distance, reached into her pocket and pulled out the recorder. Then, right in front of her, he deleted the recording with a single click.
【Master Stealth Skills】
In addition to detecting cameras, it also has the function of detecting eavesdropping, which is unexpectedly useful.
"How immature! If I were you, no matter what obsession you have in your heart, you would probably pretend to know nothing and lurk around me."
"Slowly gain my trust, slowly gather evidence, and deliver a fatal blow when I'm most relaxed."
"Or you could secretly contact the police to report it and get help, even though no one would believe what you say."
"You're too impatient, Yukinoshita."
Light Yagami had a look of disappointment, a look of frustration. "Although I knew you might harbor hostility towards me, I didn't expect you to dislike me so much. To the point of being so eager to question me, even forgetting to consider your family's safety, to ask a question I already knew the answer to."
"Why? Because I killed ten villains who deserved no death?"
Light Yagami rested one hand on the table and operated his mobile phone with the other hand, as if searching for something.
Soon, he placed the search results in front of Yukinoshita Yukino: "Take a look, these are the related search terms for Kira."
"Even though the news was censored so quickly, and it was clearly just a name similar to an urban legend, they still chose to believe it, and chose to accuse Kira of the murderer's crime in the forum, hoping that Kira would bring down divine punishment..."
"They are grateful to me, they have infinite hopes for me, and they are full of spitting at the ten villains I killed..."
"Yukinoshita Yukino, don't you think it's interesting?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have sealed that page away as evidence. You could have enjoyed the pleasure of controlling life with the notebook I gave you with just a nod and a flick of your finger, yet you did something so foolish?"
"what a pity."
"enough!"
Yukinoshita Yukino's face was pale, but even when facing a dilemma where her life could be controlled at any time, the fireworks of anger still flickered in her eyes.
Light Yagami looked at Yukinoshita with admiration in his eyes.
"That's what it's like. It's fun to play with toys that can't be broken!"
"What's so funny? What's interesting about this? What do you think of human life? Why don't you understand? Even if they are guilty, why don't they hand them over to the law? Why resort to lynching?"
"Their crime polluted the water flow, but your lynching polluted the source!"
"You use your justice to override the justice of the law!"
Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, trying to overcome the fear in her heart. A pure soul, absolute justice, would shine even in the face of death. "Yes, you possess such power, able to toy with the lives of others at any time. You must be very proud, right?"
"If I still choose to hand over the page of notes you gave me to the police, what will you do? Kill me, the obstacle, right?"
"You seem to be constantly pursuing justice in your heart. If a sinless person like me were to stand in your way, would you kill me? Any obstacle that stands in your way can be removed, right?"
"Will you kill me? Light Yagami."
Will you kill me?
Yukinoshita Yukino's excited and suppressed voice echoed in the activity room and also in Light Yagami's heart, causing ripples.
A strong sense of déjà vu washed over Light Yagami, as if he were once again at the crossroads of fate. It felt like the same dilemma the "him" in his dream had faced. If he chose to kill him, he would not be absolutely just. If he chose not to kill him, he would be punished by the martyrdom of procedural justice.
"You really...are always giving people problems."
Light Yagami shook his head with a smile, and uttered two words calmly: "No."
"Ok?"
"I won't kill you, never. As long as you're innocent, no matter what beliefs you try to uphold, I won't attack you." Yagami Light said with a gentle smile, "I can also tell you that I can take back the power of the notebook at any time. Only what I give you is yours. Using the notebook as evidence to punish me is absolutely impossible."
"And as the son of a former Criminal Bureau chief. As the best student in Chiba, and even Tokyo. As someone who has given numerous public speeches on behalf of the school... do you think the police will think you're framing me, or will they believe that this student, with all the above qualities and a heart full of justice, is Kira, the one with blood on his hands?"
"Your methods are useless against me."
"A futile struggle."
"Are you disappointed with this ending, Yukinoshita?"
Disappointed?
Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes. To say that she wasn't disappointed...that was impossible.
If what Light Yagami said was true, if he could take back the power of the notebook, there would be no way to prove that Light Yagami was Kira. The difference in identity and status also determined that people would believe Light Yagami's words more.
Procedural justice seems to have been completely killed.
She was at her wit's end.
The gap between abilities cannot be bridged by passion or absolute belief.
The proud and righteous fighting spirit of Yukinoshita Yukino sways like a candle in the wind.

Volume 1: 29 People Say Everyone Can Be Killed
The flowers on the high mountain are withering.
Looking at the pretty face full of confusion in front of him, Light Yagami felt a desire to abuse her.
Tearing beautiful things into pieces and staining flawless white paper black is the darkness hidden in the deepest part of human nature.
Yukinoshita Yukino's justice is perfect, and precisely because she is perfect, Light Yagami wants to distort it and make her heart become his own shape.
She is a pursuer of procedural justice; she is a martyr of idealism; she is a practitioner of absolute justice! And what Light Yagami wants to do is to let her be betrayed by the justice in her heart and swallowed by the weakness of human heart——
"Let's play a game, Yukinoshita."
...
Yukinoshita Yukino was extremely confused.
She felt that if there was no Light Yagami, her future life trajectory would have developed normally...she would have become a judge or a prosecutor.
Humanity is finite, and the number of people pursuing justice is limited. Because of human limitations, the justice people pursue must also be limited. The darkness within people's hearts will inevitably cast a shadow over the justice they pursue.
We want to pursue justice, but because humans are inherently finite and their hearts are dark, the pursuit of justice inevitably leads us toward an unspeakable abyss. Those who pursue justice will fall into a cycle of self-deception, believing from the bottom of their hearts that since we are pursuing justice, all means are justified.
Yukinoshita Yukino pursues absolute correctness. Although she may make false statements or gaffes, she never speaks falsely. This also means that she cannot tolerate justice that is bound to be biased.
At what moment did she finally understand Kira, understand Light Yagami? Even she herself couldn't be sure. But she only knew one thing: Light Yagami's behavior was definitely wrong.
She wants to cool down fanatics like Light Yagami.
"Everyone says he should be killed, but I am the only one who has pity."
She also believed that the people at Araki Financial deserved death. She was also outraged by the revelations about their dark past online. In the quiet of the night, she would sometimes daydream about Kira.
But no!
We must pursue justice in results through justice in means.
True justice is like a circle, but it only exists in mathematical equations. No one can truly draw it in reality, not even Kira or Light Yagami. Procedural justice, on the other hand, is like a compass, a tool that helps those trapped in the sea of sin draw a circle. Although it's not perfect, it's far better than drawing it with bare hands.
Perhaps it was his belief that Light Yagami, the self-proclaimed enforcer of justice, wouldn't attack him. Perhaps it was his belief that the arrogant Light Yagami wouldn't discover his methods of collecting evidence. Perhaps it was his sense of mission to cool down fanaticism, or perhaps it was his innate nature as a lawyer...
Yukinoshita Yukino made today's move.
Full of ideals, reckless, and desperate...she completely forgot that when she wanted to become "the only torch in the world", her life did not belong to her own, she could not burn recklessly, and the Yukinoshita family was behind her.
Reality is cruel. The blow from Light Yagami was like a veil covering her heart. Even the brightest light would be dimmed by it. Yukinoshita Yukino was deeply shocked.
And just then.
"Let's play a game, Yukinoshita."
...
'She's not perfect.'
'Kindness and arrogance are two sides of her coin.'
Light Yagami saw all of this.
No one knew better than him how to kill an arrogant person. That was to hold her hand, pull the trigger with her, and shoot her past self.
"Since ancient times, when the justice of two sides clashes, a duel must be fought to determine the winner..."
"Let's play a game, Yukinoshita."
"Give me the right to twist your life. And I will give you mine."
"Let's see which of us will be twisted by the other first."
"If you can do it, I will go to the Metropolitan Police Department and turn myself in and confess everything!"
Light Yagami slowly raised his finger and pointed at Yukinoshita Yukino's eyebrows: "If you can't do it..."
"Use the power of notes with me~"
"The whole world will know that Kira, the judge of justice, exists and changes the world with the Death Note. And then, we will become the gods of the new world.
"..."
Light Yagami's resolute words fell on Yukinoshita Yukino's ears without missing a word. Even beneath the invisible sleeves of her school uniform, goosebumps were already forming on her skin.
Yukinoshita stared at Light Yagami's clear red eyes, lost in thought. Just as she had felt when they first met, she could sense the execution power in Light Yagami's words.
'He means it.'
'He wants to twist my life.'
The hesitation and confusion in my heart faded away unknowingly, leaving only the fire of idealism burning in my heart.
"Accept it, admit it..."
"In this world, possessing the power of the Death Note is not a misfortune... possessing this power is the right thing to do."
"It's not the notes that are wrong, it's Light Yagami. And as someone who is absolutely right..."
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes became firm again, and there was no smile on her face. She crossed her arms and said, "I will correct your problem. As for the final outcome, I will not force you to hand you over to the police. Whether to accept legal sanctions or choose to escape reality is up to you at that time."
"I will win, Yukinoshita." Light Yagami's lips curled up slightly: "And what about...the problem?"
"I'm the top student in my grade, I come from an outstanding family, and apart from not having any male friends or a girlfriend, I'm basically a winner in life."
"To say such things, Light Yagami, you are even worse than I thought." Yukinoshita Yukino refuted with an expressionless face: "You clearly know that the problem I am talking about is your twisted ideas."
"I have a condition."
The atmosphere between the two seemed to have eased considerably. At least, after experiencing a painful lesson, Yukinoshita's tone was no longer as aggressive as it had been at the beginning. After recognizing the gap between herself and Light Yagami, she curbed her arrogance.
"Please say."
"You can't kill any more people during our game."
