Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

"Officer Himeno, what's wrong with you?!" Hayakawa Aki was shocked when he saw this and quickly unbuckled his seat belt and walked forward to ask.

"No...it's okay!" Ji Ye gasped, and said with lingering fear: "Go to the back seat and see what's going on."

The fear of facing death lingered in my heart. How could this happen? Just a glance...

"This is so embarrassing." Ji Ye reached into his arms and wrapped the black cloth he had prepared at some point around his right eye. He held onto the car door and got out with Hayakawa Aki.

I didn't blame Makima in my heart. Just now... it must have been my sudden intrusion when she was using her ability that caused this consequence. She had brought this upon herself.

They came to the back door and just as they were about to open it, it was pushed open from the inside.

Machima was seen holding a white handkerchief, wiping her fingers expressionlessly, and got out of the car first.

The two police officers in charge of guarding him regained consciousness as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Seeing Nishiguchi Hideyuki lying on the floor of the police car, his limbs twisted into a knot, his eyes moving erratically, he looked like a dazed man. His face was horrified. His nostrils twitched slightly, and he could smell a burning smell.

"Hey! Hey! What happened?!"

"We just... just didn't do anything! Inspector, you have to believe us!"

They anxiously explained that this person was a person specifically assigned to be protected by the higher-ups. And just when they were momentarily distracted, he'd become like this. Who could they turn to for justice?! As police captains, they could easily shift the blame to the junior officers, but they'd be in big trouble.

When Himeno saw the miserable state of Nishiguchi Hideyuki, he couldn't help but gasp. It was really... horrible to watch. But at least he wasn't dead. As long as he wasn't dead, he could be dragged to the judge's seat for trial.

"Ms. Makima, what on earth is this..."

"Tried it out, and now... verified some of my thoughts about Kira."

Makima spoke in a gentle tone, turning her back to the two panicked police officers and saying, "Don't worry, all of this was caused by Kira. I used my ability earlier to save Nishiguchi Hideyuki from Kira's clutches."

"It's really... quite an astonishing ability~"

The interest in Makima's eyes grew.

Her power is domination. She can control those she deems inferior, including demons. Even the dead, Makima can manipulate them, making them obey her commands and use their abilities from life.

People dominated by Makima will develop a strong obsession with her and obey her orders completely, but when no orders are given, they will become a "doll"-like standby state.

Her command was "survive," and under her control, Nishiguchi Hideyuki would burst forth with an absolute will to survive, a will no less powerful than that of a mother who, amidst the ruins of an earthquake, held up half the sky for her children with her mortal body until her death.

His spirit, his body, every cell in his body will try to survive under Makima's control, erupting with terrifying power.

Giving this kind of order when facing a dying person can even indirectly prolong the other person's life.

Just now, Makima's long-range killing curse, which belonged to Kira, struck, aiming for Nishiguchi Hideyuki's heart. If she didn't strike, Nishiguchi Hideyuki would be engulfed in flames and die within three seconds.

One side is: [survive]

On one side: [Self-immolation means death]

Two terrifying powers far beyond ordinary people's imagination are engaged in a life-and-death "battle" within Hideyuki Nishiguchi's body. The winner can execute orders on him.

But the result—

"Failed."

There was a strange look in Makima's eyes.

This battle between the rulers ultimately ended in defeat for both. Kira's instant death power failed to activate Nishiguchi Hideyuki, and Makima's power of domination could no longer affect him. Nishiguchi Hideyuki's soul was crushed to dust in the battle between the two, leaving only a shell lingering in the mortal world. He could no longer be controlled by the Death Note or the power of domination.

"You have the same type of ability as me, Kira~"

Makima murmured to herself, wondering if it was her illusion, but she could clearly feel that the power of the curse seemed a little... unskilled, not firm, as if there was still a faint spark shining in the deep darkness.

If it was the pure black Kira, his own power of control might not be able to resist Kira's power, and Nishiguchi Hideyuki would die in front of him.

This isn't right.

Kira had already used his power to kill so many people, so why did this unskilled and wavering situation occur? Makima's face was thoughtful, and all she could think of was one thing: there was more than one Kira, or... the first generation of Kira was training his own successor.

"Kira's power can be passed down!"

Soon, this conclusion was also deduced by Machima.

She touched her white chin.

She could also do things like long-range curse killing, but the prerequisite was to go to the prison and take out the prisoners who were supposed to be executed, and use them as consumables one for one, and she also had to control small animals as her eyes in order to launch the attack.

What about Kira? What's the price Kira, possessing similar abilities, would have to pay? Superpowers don't come for no reason in this world; using them inevitably carries a curse of fate, meaning the loss of something—a soul, a body, a lifespan... If Kira's long-range curses also require human lives...

No, it's impossible. His killing rate was too high, and the police would definitely discover him. And amidst the fluctuations of power, there was no scent of life.

There are still many doubts, but... there is one thing Makima can be sure of. That is, Kira himself is now within the Tokyo area!

The golden lines in Makima's eyes reappeared.

In a distant, wooded park, a burst of birdsong erupted. A strange sight unfolded in the skies above Tokyo: crows, migratory birds, and all manner of fowl circled in the air, a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse. Suddenly, they flew off to every corner of the Tokyo metropolitan area, faithfully carrying out their orders.

On the ground, invisible ripples appeared in the eyes of cats and dogs, and there were different degrees of abnormal movements. In addition, even the rats in the sewers, the frogs jumping in the fields...all the creatures that could be called animals had become Makima's spies and began to act.

But activating this ability wasn't without cost. Makima coughed up a mouthful of blood, which sprayed onto the clean white handkerchief. Such large-scale control couldn't be maintained for long, only three days at most. If they didn't find any trace of Kira within those three days, they would no longer be able to control the animals and their own spies.

"Ji Ye..." Makima's tone was a little weak, and she ordered: "Send people to search all the surrounding areas where we can see the scene just now."

"Also, have someone go to Chiba TV and have them retrieve the data for paying subscribers within Tokyo who regularly watch the Chiba channel at this time."

"There are also online live broadcast rooms. We have also sent people to investigate."

"Although we still don't know the specific rules for Kira's ability, but... Kira must have made the impromptu decision to activate it after seeing what just happened." Makima's mouth curled up slightly. "Then, call for reinforcements. We need to let Kira know our movements so that he won't reveal his flaws~"

"Announce to the public that Kira has killed again~"

...

...

"What did you say?"

The inspector who was still at the scene, handling the remaining matters, was stunned. "Ki-Kira took action? Then...what about Mr. Nishiguchi?"

The deputy inspector did not bother to clean up the mess and quickly called his direct subordinates at the scene. He got into the police car, installed the police lights, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed in the direction of Nishiguchi Hideyuki and others.

The police who stayed in place looked at each other, loosened their knees with shame on their faces, and let Kawada Ryuichi go: "Sorry, Kawada-kun, if we don't do this..."

"Forget it, I don't blame you." Kawada Ryuichi crawled up from the ground tremblingly. Although the anger in his heart had not dissipated, he also knew who this anger should be directed at.

Damn the consortium! Damn the bureaucracy!

Don't leave any alive, kill them all! Even if I kill them ten thousand times, it won't be enough!

He sat in the corner, feeling somewhat dejected. He had served the Metropolitan Police Department for most of his life, only to have his dignity trampled upon and trampled upon...

"You guys..."

"exist."

"That guy just said 'Kira took action'. Who is Kira? A foreigner?"

The flames of revenge flickered in Kawada Ryuichi's eyes. He didn't care who the other party was, even if they were criminals. As long as they cooperated, as long as they could kill Nishiguchi Hideyuki, he was willing to pay any price!

"Kira..." Several police officers exchanged glances, seeing the worry and fear in each other's eyes. "Kira is a vicious criminal who has suddenly appeared recently and specializes in killing criminals. The Public Security Department's Demon Squad 4 has announced that it has taken over his related cases..."

"Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4?" Kawada Ryuichi was stunned. That super mysterious department.

If they announce that they are in charge of Kira's case...that means Kira might be a super-powered criminal!

Kawada Ryuichi once resented those criminals who relied on their supernatural powers to cause chaos in society. But now... he completely understood their thinking. He only wanted to find Kira and, no matter the cost, get him to kill Nishiguchi Hideyuki!

Or has Kira already killed Nishiguchi?

Kawada Ryu looked into the distance with hope.

Huh? .jpg

Volume 1: 60 To deny the past is to kill!

"Beep—"

"The vow of not killing has been taken..."

"Shh... an unknown error has occurred, correcting it—"

"What's going on?!"

The moment Light Yagami heard the system's announcement, he opened his arms, raised his head, and quietly waited for the completion reminder of the "Ring of No Killing" and then received the reward that belonged to the winner.

But...it didn't arrive, and a situation that I had never encountered before occurred

The task status column still shows "Unfinished" and prompts that an unknown error has occurred?

What's going on?! Is the name wrong?

Light Yagami rarely felt flustered, and a feeling of being plotted came over him.

He saw Yukinoshita Yukino write her name, and there was no doubt that Hideyuki Nishiguchi was the real person. After all, he was the son of a consortium. You could find his photo by just searching on the Internet... Another possibility was that the arrogant guy standing in front of the camera was a scapegoat found by the Nishiguchi family.

But that didn't make sense either. The face was the same, the name was the same, and if the guy in front of the camera wasn't dead, the real person behind him should have been dead too. As long as the person died, the vow of not killing would be fulfilled, but in the end, nothing happened.

"There's only one possibility—!"

A cold sweat instantly soaked Light Yagami's back. This was the first time he had ever seen such a strange situation. He could only think of one possibility: the Public Security Bureau's members had used some means unknown to him to destroy the Death Note's lethal power.

"How could this happen?!"

Light Yagami immediately thought of the police car that Hideyuki Nishiguchi got in.

Normally, a police car would be a sedan like the Toyota Crown, but this time it was different, it was a large SUV. Yagami Light had thought that was the exclusive privilege of the consortium's criminals, and even police cars had to serve them.

But now it seems... that the car was not the one that he had originally thought was for Hideyuki Nishiguchi, but for the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4!

Puff-!

Pfft!

Time seemed to slow down, strange music lingered in his ears, and Light Yagami could hear his own powerful heartbeat. That heartbeat was not due to fear, but to unprecedented excitement.

It was like a chess player, battling in the fog, finding the key to a breakthrough. Or like catching a glimmer of inspiration while solving a math problem that has remained unsolved by humans.

The anxiety and fear brought about by the sudden situation are now turning into fuel for the fire, making the ambitions in my heart burn brightly!

Although there was no direct evidence that the head of the Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4 was sitting in the car, he had been executing criminals every day these days and had never encountered any unknown mistakes.

Does this mean that the Taima Class members must be near the criminal to activate their own abilities and counter the Death Note's power? Only in this way can the system error be explained.

'That's right, it must be like this!'

"I caught the Public Security Anti-Demon Special Operations Section 4 making this fatal mistake!"

"This game of getting the other person's real name first..."

'I won!'

"Now, if we can hack into the Metropolitan Police Department's internal surveillance system and reconstruct the car's movements... even if the Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4's personnel are masked and their true faces can't be seen, and their true identities can't be confirmed, as long as we know where their headquarters are, all problems can be solved with time."

Blessing~

Light Yagami couldn't help but squint his eyes, feeling unprecedented relaxation in his heart.

In the past, Light Yagami feared only Makima, but now he had to add Ryougi Shiki to the mix. As for power, there was only one Anti-Demon Section 4. But now, as long as he had intelligence on the Anti-Demon Section 4, he could do many things without any constraints, even if the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark.

"Beep—"

『Error fixed』

"Mission: Ring of Unkillability. The target's soul has been annihilated. Mission accomplished."

"Your authority has been upgraded: Your Death Note's authority has been upgraded. Effect: You will be able to control the actions of the person whose name is written (complex cause of death). Your daily usage increases by 3 → 4."

Stage 4: Successor

"There seems to be a last ray of light left in the girl's heart. Try to swallow up the last ray of light in her heart."

Mission Reward: You will unlock the Pseudo-Death Note (obtain the target's real name). Cooldown: 30 days. Death Note Privilege Upgrade: Daily Usage Increases from 4 to 10.

At this time, the system also completed its self-salvation and honestly spit out the reward belonging to Light Yagami.

Light Yagami listened and keenly grasped the key information - "Soul Annihilation"

From this implication, humans are divided into body and soul. Death means... the destruction of both the soul and body. But this hint indicates that the body still exists, meaning the heart is still beating.

His Death Note could be seen as either a command or a calamity sent from heaven. By forcibly creating a "cause" to bring about the outcome of "death," it was the most unstoppable causal weapon, its self-igniting flames refusing to extinguish until the target had been incinerated. To counter his Death Note, one must possess at least the same causal-level power to extinguish the flames of cause. At least that was what Light Yagami believed.

But the power of the notes does not act on the soul. Does this indirectly confirm that the conflict between the law of causality and the law of causality will lead to the annihilation of the soul?

Or was it just that the abilities and souls of the Anti-Magic Class Public Security Police, whom he had never met, were forcibly acting on Nishiguchi Hideyuki... Almost in an instant, Light Yagami deduced the cause and effect.
