"They really look alike..."

"One is the future Yukinoshita, the other is the past Himeno... If I hadn't existed, the future Yukinoshita might have become like Himeno."

After hearing Ji Ye's melancholy words, Yagami Light pretended to be hesitant and asked: "Officer Ji Ye, you are right, but..."

"The current Japanese law has completely deviated from its original purpose."

Volume 1: 48 The Only Way to Fight the Cruel World

"Let's talk about the most intuitive point. Officer Ji Ye, you are a police officer, and you should know more about this data than I do."

"Of those criminals you personally arrested, how many committed crimes so heinous that the death penalty was absolutely justified? And how many of those sentenced to death could be carried out within a year?"

"Looking at the entirety of Japan, I'm afraid the number of people executed each year won't exceed double digits."

"Only life can repay life. The death penalty is the bottom line, but Japan can no longer even maintain this bottom line. That's why... extreme monsters like Kira exist!"

Light Yagami looked indignant. He felt sorry for Kira's misfortune and was angry at him for not fighting back, while at the same time he denounced Kira as a monster.

'My acting skills would be the best even in WWE!' Light Yagami thought complacently.

"They must really enjoy hearing what I'm saying. Passionate, angry young people who understand Kira while also upholding the law. Oh my god, this is the perfect character."

'Actually, it's not that complicated.'

"Kira exists only because he wants to kill, can kill, and dares to kill. Justice? Law? How can it be so inconvenient?"

"It will change!" Ji Ye's face was stern. As if the atmosphere was a bit too heavy, she put on a playful smile and said, "Oh, come on, why would I even think of discussing this with a student like you?"

"Ordinary people like us are powerless to change the status quo. All we can do is fulfill our responsibilities and maintain the last bit of dignity left in Japanese law."

Yagami Light remained calm and tried to continue breaking through Himeno's psychological defenses, just as he had done when he had shaken Yukinoshita: "But this is meaningless."

"That's it. None of this means anything. No matter how happy your life is, no matter what dreams you harbor, they will all be crushed by the wheels of this falling era. It's all the same; everyone will die one day."

"So, is human birth meaningless? Are the lives of those police officers who died defending the law also meaningless?"

"No! It is us who gave meaning to the lives of those police officers! Those brave dead, those pitiful dead, it is we, the living, who can mourn them!"

"This is the only way to fight this cruel world!"

Ji Ye clenched his fists: "There will always be a way, everything will be fine...someone will make changes from within."

"That person might be me." Ji Ye laughed self-deprecatingly. Behind her, invisible waves emerged. A "ghost demon" invisible to ordinary people appeared behind her.

Possessing superhuman strength, she might even be able to act rebelliously at the most critical moment.

She understood, she had always understood. The laws that low-level police officers like them defended were always "articles" formulated to serve those in power, and were never meant to be justice.

She used to deceive herself, but now she has the possibility to try...

"I'm sorry for the loss of Miss Makima's trust!"

Ji Ye clapped his hands solemnly on Light Yagami's shoulders and said, "A great cause, the heavy responsibility of the times, may fall on you. So, Yagami... your passion must not be extinguished. Don't let momentary indignation blind you."

Ji Ye patted the dust off his hands and said, "Alright, since you're a good student, I'll make an exception for once and you won't have to do the statement. Just walk home, enjoy the cool breeze, and calm down."

"Let's go, pack up."

It must be said that the Japanese police were not very fast in responding to calls, but they were very fast in recovering them. While Light Yagami was distracted, Ji Ye had already called on his junior officers to get in the police car and leave with the body.

Light Yagami stood there blankly, stroking his chin, and shook his head in amusement: "Really... You can't even do it yourself, but you always like to encourage others to radiate positive energy and do what you think is right..."

From the moment they first met, Himeno encouraged Light Yagami to "join the professional team," even though he himself was just an ordinary non-professional team member, having been working as a police inspector for nearly ten years...

Although she hid it well, Light Yagami still caught the darkness deep in her heart.

"You clearly wanted to emulate Kira and deliberately take that last resort, yet you still encourage me to obey the law and study hard to improve every day."

"On the one hand, there's the righteousness of being a role model in front of others, and on the other, there's the righteousness of one's own heart. These two diametrically opposed kinds of justice are intertwined... What a contradictory spiral, isn't it?"

"You're really contradictory."

Light Yagami dusted off his handbag.

Boom——

Thunder, strong winds, and drizzle.

Light Yagami held up his umbrella expressionlessly. He had always been calm and didn't need a cold wind to calm him down anymore.

"You might as well drive me back."

Light Yagami felt a little regretful.

The mission...is not completed after all.

He had already executed the worst bully, and the remaining few would live in fear of the videotape. But... executing the bully didn't equal saving the girl. In other words, the more deadly crisis had no end in sight.

The last bit of hope in Light Yagami's heart was also destroyed. No miracle happened. Nishimiya Shoko was really a devil as he had expected.

How to do?

What else can be done?

Nishimiya Shoko, it seems she has no idea she's a demon. I'm afraid it won't be long before the police from the Public Security Anti-Demon Section come looking for her and either detain or annihilate her...

What do you think? Do you want to kill the attacking police?

First of all, Light Yagami didn't know their names. Even if he used some tricks to find out their names, he would not be able to escape the attention of the relevant authorities in the end. He appeared at the crime scene too frequently, and no matter how thorough his reasons were, he would definitely be suspected.

Or was he controlling the prisoner and sending a message to the Public Security Anti-Demon Section officers remotely, threatening them not to touch Nishimiya Naoko? Otherwise, he would eliminate the high-ranking officials? Such extreme protection measures would be easily discovered with just a little investigation; there was no way to hide it.

Light Yagami is not a selfless philanthropist, nor does he have any special preference for disadvantaged groups.

God loves the world, but all are equal under Him.

Nishimiya Shoko's life is life, and the lives of the public security officers who are fulfilling their duties to annihilate the demons are also lives. All lives are always equal.

Light Yagami is a man who practices what he preaches.

Just like what was said to Yukinoshita Yukino: I will not harm innocent people.

If things truly reached a point of no return... Light Yagami didn't know what he would do. Perhaps he would silently stand in the distance and watch this doomed annihilation battle unfold, shedding sincere tears for the loss of life.

"Mission prompt: Your believers are in danger of death—"

"If the believer dies, the mission fails..."

『Believer's coordinates: ▆▆▆』

Volume 1: 49 Lifelines

(This chapter is more delicious with the song "ARIA: The World of the Sky" and "Galan's Cave")

The darker the moon, the deeper the darkness.

The wind was blowing violently, accompanied by the last thunder, and heavy rain poured down, washing away the sins of the world.

Nishimiya Naoko held an umbrella with difficulty, standing alone in the middle of the deserted street, motionless.

It was cold, damp, and all kinds of discomforts combined together.

Nishimiya Shoko didn't understand why she went out at this time. She was like a possessed person, controlled by some mysterious power, walking on the path in the pouring rain.

She looked cautiously and timidly at the densely packed small tents on both sides of the street.

Japan appears prosperous and orderly in the lens, but what's the reality? Garbage is everywhere, homeless people are camped out everywhere, and late at night, it becomes a volatile crime scene.

Just like now, Nishimiya Glass has already seen the zipper of the tent being quietly opened, and through the gap in the tent are pairs of greedy eyes, as if they are staring at some prey.

Shila-

Shila-

The sounds of zippers unzipping became more frequent.

Nishimiya Glass couldn't hear. In her world, she could only hear the dull thud of dense raindrops hitting the ground. But she could see those malicious gazes, as if roaring silent evil words, trying to drag her into hell.

'Can't!'

'Run, run!'

The sense of crisis in her heart finally broke through the mysterious bondage. Nishimiya Glass took a stiff step, trying to quickly cross this difficult and wet street. Once she crossed this street, she would soon be home.

The heavy rain soaked Glass's little white shoes, and a few strands of brown shoulder-length hair stuck to her fair face.

The pressure on Nishimiya Naoko's face eased. Is it safe...?

On the cement road leading home, the moment the raindrops splashed onto the ground and bounced up, the interweaving of the raindrops was like a maze. At the end of the maze, I saw that red figure -

Two-part ceremony.

Almost the moment he saw the red figure, the Infinite Demon felt a tremendous pressure.

"This woman is extremely dangerous..."

"Kougua! The power of death is the power of death! Retreat, you must retreat!"

The Infinite Demon couldn't understand. Its liberation required the death of its body. Once liberated, its healing abilities were so powerful it could be reborn with a single drop of blood. So why was it feeling this twisted fear?! What could possibly kill it?!

Its source is infinite! How could it possibly die here?

escape!escape!escape!

The Infinite Demon subconsciously activated his own abilities, hoping to influence his body again at the subconscious level, allowing her to escape from the extremely dangerous woman in front of him. However, he was shocked to find that his body seemed to be out of his control.

...

Nishimiya Glass recalled her childhood fear of ghosts and monsters. She would often cower in a cupboard and tremble in fear when her mother went out and left her home alone.

But now, it was people she was afraid of.

The kindness of giving food out of pity, the evil bullying, the strong mother...

A hole seemed to appear in Glass's heart that could not be filled or healed. Perhaps there is no such thing as an unhealable wound in this world. An unhealable wound is not a wound but should be called death.

Nishimiya Shoko's heart...seems to be dead.

She stood there blankly, her hand holding the umbrella drooping limply. The moment she let go, the umbrella was blown away by the strong wind, leaving her standing there alone.

Although she didn't recognize the woman in the red jacket in front of her, Nishimiya Glass had a premonition that she was here to kill her.

'Why is this world so unfair?'

A mixture of rain and tears flowed down Nishimiya Naoko's face. She was so tired of running away that she couldn't run away anymore. She might as well die here.

A deserted street, dying without anyone watching... Isn't that wonderful? It's perfect for someone like her!

Nishimiya Glass smiled brilliantly, tears flying back with the wind, and she placed her hands on her chest: "Kill...Kill me!"

The wind was mixed with her roar, making it unclear.

The purpose of language is to convey human emotions. Even if you can't hear the content clearly, you can still feel the emotions contained in it.

And Ryougi Shiki truly felt this feeling of anger and despair.

"Finally, I see you, Nishimiya Glass~" Ryougi Shiki hummed softly, reaching for her waist, taking out the short blade that had not yet been unsheathed, and holding it across her chest: "You must be... in a lot of pain!"

"Living as a matter of course, dying as a matter of course. Ah, how lonely it is..."

Shine——

The sharp blade with a cold glow was exposed under the moonlight.

The darkness and dampness in the air seemed to be wiped out by the light of the knife.

"It's best to let the demons themselves deal with it. No matter who you are, if you want to destroy the demons, you will inevitably be infected by them. I call this ominous cycle a 'curse.'"

Ryougi Shiki threw the scabbard on the ground and walked towards Nishimiya Shoko step by step with an expressionless face.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"So I will bear this curse."

If she had awakened the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception earlier and met Nishimiya Shoko, the body of the infinite devil, earlier, perhaps she could have been saved from her suffering.

Too late...

It was not until Aozaki Touko felt the breath of the devil that she learned about this girl who was almost driven crazy by the infinite devil.

"I'll set you free."

Ryougi Shiki's eyes were filled with pity. When she opened them again, the world she saw had completely changed. Reflected in those pupils, which glowed with strange light, were dark lines like cracks.
