Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

"If that's the case, then it's the ability to act on the soul, counteracting the cause of death, 'heart paralysis'... and forcing the opponent to live? A bolder guess is that the opponent's ability is—deep control over the soul!"

'I forcibly implanted the will to live in Nishiguchi Hideyuki's soul, thus preventing his physical death. In his self-immolation, he unleashed an unparalleled will to survive, overcoming the inevitable cause of death.'

Light Yagami's eyes flickered. All his inferences were wild guesses based on the system prompts. To know the other party's ability, he needed to conduct another test. The difference was that this time, the other party plotted against him, and next time, he would be the one plotting against the other party.

For example, being hit and killed by a high-speed dump truck is not something that can be changed by the will to live implanted in the soul. If it were not for the law of causality, then death would be inevitable. On the contrary, the opponent's ability is deeply controlled by the soul.

Light Yagami shook his head.

Putting aside the question of testing the other party's abilities for now, we need to select a suitable criminal who won't harm others. The most important thing now is to find out his true identity.

"We can't delay the investigation. We must thoroughly investigate everything today. Once we're done, any traces we can find will be erased."

"As for the rest, we'll consider it later."

"But Yukinoshita... even after all this, she's still not completely broken?"

Light Yagami looked at Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were empty, dark as if nothing was there, but her weird smile had not faded.

She felt her soul falling continuously, heavily falling into the dark quagmire, and countless hands stretched out from the bottom of the quagmire, grabbed her ankles, and kept dragging her.

The noble soul has been dyed into extreme black by the black mud, and there is no longer a trace of light.

All the previous light was squeezed into a singularity by the darkness, but the light that bloomed from this singularity was brighter than ever before against the backdrop of the black mud.

Dang rang~

She subconsciously loosened her hand, and the pen in her hand fell to the table with a clang.

In the moment when Light Yagami was distracted.

She raised her hand and aimed it at her neck. Ten jade fingers suddenly exerted force, tightly pinching the white and delicate skin, constantly contracting. The tender flesh on her neck gradually became blue veins due to the immense pressure.

Although the body was in such unbearable pain, the mind felt more relaxed than ever before.

This movement was like an invisible black thread invading her heart. She seemed to have been following the ancient law from beginning to end, killing someone means paying with one's life, and now she was sending herself to the gallows.

"That's enough, Yukinoshita! Stop running away from reality!"

Seeing this, Light Yagami had no choice but to reach out and firmly grasp Yukinoshita Yukino's arm to stop her from self-harming.

"You did great, didn't you?"

"Justice has been served by your pen, so why punish yourself like this?"

Light Yagami pointed at the open Death Note, its blank pages rippling in the breeze from the window. In the center, neatly written, "Nishiguchi Hideyuki" (literally "Nishiguchi Hideyuki"), the words drifting in the air, tormented Yukinoshita Yukino's heart.

"I... killed someone."

"I..."

Yukinoshita Yukino clutched her temples, her delicate body trembling non-stop as if in fear. Wherever she looked, the world lost all color, becoming pitch black as ink. Only the two colors of blood and black remained.

"You didn't kill anyone, you just followed your heart and did the right thing~" Light Yagami's tone was gentle, without any impatience.

Friends who often kill people know that, except for those who are born evil and have no guilt about killing, normal people who do this will experience a nightmare-like chain reaction out of fear.

Moral condemnation, the majesty of the law, the gene that suppresses cannibalism... If no one enlightens you, you will probably live in fear all your life.

Light Yagami never lies to women, but he has a special affinity for women and can always fill the void in their hearts inadvertently through words.

"I know you don't want to kill him or trample on the law. You simply can't tolerate his existence. You believe that the correct law cannot tolerate the existence of such a person."

"Only when humans compare their dignity with their past and allow one of them to disappear, is it called murder, and does it carry the meaning and sin of murder."

"Yukinoshita Yukino, open your eyes!"

"Don't deny your past or present self!"

Volume 1: 61 The Truth Cult X The Disaster of the Yukinoshita Family

People tend to bottle up memories that are too painful.

Just like Yukinoshita Yukino at this moment, her eyes were dull, she stumbled to her feet, and left the activity room of the Shinkansen Club in a daze, not knowing whether she heard Light Yagami's advice clearly.

As Yukinoshita left the activity room, Light Yagami pulled out his phone, ready to check the surveillance footage along the way...

"System prompt: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you. Please pay attention to your surroundings."

The sudden prompt sound made Light Yagami subconsciously stop what he was doing.

around?

He raised his head and glanced around him. There were absolutely no normal people, no ninja-like beings like those seen in movies or TV shows, or perhaps... people with invisible powers? That wasn't right. His physical fitness, after years of improvement through the system, had already approached the limits of human capabilities. It was impossible for someone to be around him without him noticing.

So...when you are sure there is no one around, what is the meaning of this prompt?

As if inspired by something, Light Yagami glanced out the window. The eerie sight of crows and migratory birds circling around him, like a post-apocalyptic disaster, seemed to have occurred after Yukinoshita activated her ability.

'Is there any connection between the two?'

Light Yagami suddenly remembered his previous inference.

The Public Security Anti-Demon Section Chief's ability could be the control of implanted souls. Based on this inference, is controlling animals possible?

"No way! That's ridiculous! Is it really possible to turn every animal in the Tokyo area into your spies? Or is it just the Chiba area?"

"You need to be careful these days."

The incident took place in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, but looking at this exaggerated scene, I'm afraid the range of the ability can cover the entire Tokyo area... Light Yagami glanced vaguely at the bird standing on the branch outside the window, and silently turned his body.

The intrusion program in the home computer was remotely launched through the mobile phone.

But the result made Light Yagami somewhat disappointed. The other party reacted quickly and the relevant surveillance footage disappeared directly.

But...it's not completely without gain.

Yagami Light stroked his chin. It would take exponentially longer to piece together the missing pieces of surveillance footage, but he could still deduce the approximate location of the Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4 headquarters. Even if they planned it out or not, they would eventually uncover all the true information about the enemy.

...

...

Yukinoshita Hisako angrily grabbed the teacup and threw it to the ground. With a loud bang, the teacup shattered into pieces.

Looking at the elegant villain in gold-rimmed glasses in front of her, she gasped, her plump breasts with mature charm heaving violently, and shouted angrily: "Get out, get out of the Yukinoshita family! Go to hell with your dirty mind!"

Faced with such an angry Mrs. Yukinoshita, the smile on the bespectacled man's face did not diminish but grew. He silently took a step back to avoid stepping on the teacup fragments on the ground.

"I sincerely hope that Mrs. Yukinoshita will consider this matter~"

"As for personal feelings, after all, your husband has been dead for many years, and our leader is still unmarried. He also has no children, so he really likes a goddaughter like Miss Yang Nai."

"From a public perspective, the Yukinoshita family's business in Chiba has been squeezed out over the years, and their status has been declining. Meanwhile, our Shinrikyo lacks the 'roots' to gain a foothold in Chiba. If Mrs. Yukinoshita agrees to this, it will undoubtedly be a win-win situation for both parties."

"What a beautiful thing~"

The man with glasses changed the subject: "Besides, I heard that the security in Chiba seems to be not very good recently. Serial killers appear one after another. There are ghouls and Kira... If Madam Yukinoshita agrees, our Church of Truth will send someone to protect Madam. Then her life will be absolutely guaranteed."

"You said, right~"

The man with glasses wore a fake smile, and his words lacked any genuine warmth, instead filled with cold threats. They could send someone to protect the Yukinoshita family, or they could also send someone...

"Three days, just three days. Madam Yukinoshita, please give me a reply after careful consideration. After all, Chiba is not Yukinoshita's Chiba, and there are still many people we can cooperate with."

"But by then, the Yukinoshita family's business and safety may not be guaranteed~"

The man with glasses left a business card with "AUM" printed on it and walked out, his hands clasped behind his back. A fleet of pitch-black cars was already waiting in front of the Yukinoshita family's mansion. Seeing him arrive, little Kara, wearing sunglasses, quickly opened the car door to greet him.

A discerning observer outside the entrance would easily have spotted familiar faces within the motorcade. Inside sat a who's who of Chiba's most influential figures from every walk of life. There were high-ranking police officers, medical professionals, and rising stars in science and technology. Even the most celebrated celebrities, considered unworthy of their own achievements by outsiders, were reduced to kneeling on the luxurious carpet inside the motorcade.

Yukinoshita Hisako clutched the handles of the leather sofa tightly, her distinguished face trembling slightly. She pursed her full, rosy lips, squinting her eyes, unsure what to think. After a few deep breaths, she let out a deep sigh, rubbing the wings of her nose feebly with her thumb and index finger.

The extremely strong attitude shown to outsiders was finally exposed at this moment.

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had been eavesdropping from the cubicle, emerged from the shadows and sat on the sofa next to Yukinoshita Hisako. Her feet were together, her knees slightly tilted, and she looked calm and elegant.

He leaned forward slightly and poured another cup of tea for himself and his mother. He leaned against the edge of the sofa, placed the cup to his lips, and sipped it slowly.

They were mother and daughter, but their faces were so delicate and close that they looked like sisters. Neither of them spoke first until Yukinoshita Haruno finished her cup of tea.

Suddenly, she chuckled: "Will Xue No find that the owner of this house has changed when she returns home?"

"Enough joking! You're still in the mood to laugh at this moment!" Yukinoshita Hisako controlled her emotions and growled, "When did you come?"

There is no one in this family who can make her worry-free.

Her useless late husband died young in a car accident. Her youngest daughter is childish, nearing adulthood, still indulging in fairytale fantasies. She enjoys the benefits of the family yet craves independence and division. She can't even be financially independent yet craves personal independence. Absurd! Childish! As for her eldest daughter...

Yukinoshita Hisako glanced at her sideways. She was indeed capable, but sometimes she was too heartless. The family was already in crisis and she still wanted to play such a joke.

"Mother, you taught me. No matter when or where, I must maintain elegance~" Yukinoshita Haruno said softly, "I just got here. And... I've been in charge of the company's affairs, so I really don't know much about your personal affairs, mother. But judging from your reaction, the problem seems a bit tricky."

"Tell me about it."

"For example, who was that person just now?"

Yukinoshita Hisako slumped down on the leather sofa, silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Tokyo Aum Shinrikyo. That man just now was Hayakawa Kiyohide, a cadre of the Shinrikyo and the person who handles external affairs."

The more she spoke, the heavier her tone became. After all, she was a woman, and having lost her husband, she had only her eldest daughter to confide in in this huge family.

"Religion..." Yukinoshita Haruno thought thoughtfully.

I'd assumed it was just a large corporation or conglomerate, but I never expected it to be a religion. As the political situation deteriorates, more and more religions are being registered. Some are used by unscrupulous politicians to achieve their own agendas, while others are illegal organizations seeking to amass wealth by promoting and deifying personal beliefs...

In modern Japan, capital, religion, and politics are a trinity, tightly intertwined. A politician's voice depends on the amount of capital behind them, and their rise to power is aided by the votes of religious forces.

In Chiba, there were seven or eight religions, large and small. Even the old and prestigious Yukinoshita family sometimes had to visit the leaders of these small religions to seek benefits.

Yukinoshita Haruno had heard of Aum Shinrikyo. Some time ago, they announced to the media and the public with great fanfare that they would begin research on the Apocalypse Virus. Founded over a decade ago, this Tokyo-based religion has suddenly gained immense fame in the past two years.

"Have they already reached out to Qianye?"

"Yonori, you've been in charge of the company's affairs. You should have noticed that business is getting harder and harder... A big part of the reason is because of this Aum Shinrikyo."

"Not only that, the reputation of the agent they support in Chiba has been growing. If this continues, I'm afraid our Yukinoshita family will..."

Yukinoshita Hisako did not say the last words, but both mother and daughter knew the final outcome.

It will be destroyed.

Yukinoshita Haruno's demeanor lost its elegance. She asked tentatively, "If that's the case, it won't come to that. At most, the family business will be further eroded. If I were to seek help through marriage..."

Unlike Yukino, Haruno had already made up her mind. Having grown up under the protection of her family, she had to put aside her personal feelings and contribute to the family when necessary, even if it meant marrying into a family.

"useless."

Yukinoshita Hisako said expressionlessly, "The leader of the Truth Cult came to our door today, and the news has spread throughout the community."

"Everyone is watching our every move. No one will choose to take risks at this time. We just need to wait quietly and we can share the Yukinoshita family's whale drop."

"I know them all too well, just like we once did."

"Has their power really grown to this extent? It's clearly just... religion."

Yukinoshita Haruno also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Such a dominant force had never appeared in Chiba before. Upon its appearance, all other factions surrendered. Remember, these local tyrants are always xenophobic. While they often fight among themselves, they unite against outside forces when they appear...

What exactly is Aum Shinrikyo?

"They have already gained quite a few seats in the House of Representatives. Although I don't know the exact number, by the time the next House of Representatives election comes... the number will probably be exaggerated."

"This is the most intuitive interest relationship...but if it were just that, this situation would not have occurred. Another point is that this religion secretly raises assassins." Yukinoshita Hisako revealed this shocking fact with an expressionless face.

"Death warrior?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little confused for a moment. It was hard to imagine that in this highly developed 21st century, there would still be death squads.

In that case, wouldn't it be equivalent to—

"You guessed it right, it's a cult."

"Under the pretext of 'saving souls and preventing them from falling into hell,' they sell tokens of faith to believers at exorbitant prices to collect money. This money is then used to bribe officials on a large scale to seek personal gain..."

"In the Tokyo area alone, there are hundreds of disappearances related to them..."

"Through violence, sex, and literature, they forcefully expand their membership, co-opting influential figures from all walks of life to channel their profits and support their religion... They brainwash people into madmen who will sacrifice everything for their leader, launching suicide attacks to eliminate their opponents. Unconfirmed reports indicate that within their ranks are members of a superpowered criminal wanted by the Japanese government."

"This ability is like the sword of Damocles hanging over those guys' heads, ready to fall at any moment."

Yukinoshita Hisako sneered repeatedly, "Even the so-called 'unmarried'. From what I know, the leader has dozens of mistresses, including sisters, mothers and daughters. The most prominent ones include the wives and daughters of senators. Once they are controlled, they will soon become bargaining chips for sexual bribery."

"The evil ghost who eats people without leaving any bones behind has now extended his hand to Qianye, wanting to attack our Yukinoshita family."
