With only 34 million yen, the lives of those 17 people were exposed to the butcher knife of the Truth Church.
The insider was sensible. After receiving the money, he quickly used his authority to compare the facial features, found the information, and quickly sent it over. He didn't even read the content clearly. For an insider like him, remembering the information of the betrayed person was a psychological burden and there was no need to read it.
Those members of the Truth Church were relatively measured in their actions. The worst they did was beating a protesting couple to the point of crippling them.
After pressing the last enter key, the insider subconsciously closed the page.
At the same time, he also lost his last chance to survive.
On the last page of the document, in the column of family information, the name of his immediate superior ten years ago was clearly marked.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and approached the computer screen mysteriously.
[Insider: Since you're so forthcoming this time, I'll give you another piece of information. We're investigating someone in Section 1...]
Volume 1: 67 Don't Become a Japanese Policeman, You Will Be Unlucky (6k5)
The gray sky seemed to be brewing a rainstorm.
It's really not good weather for traveling.
But Light Yagami still fulfilled the agreement between him and Ryougi Shiki.
His brow furrowed slightly, a thought lingering in his mind that he still couldn't pin down. It was probably last night when Yagami Yue had sensed a sense of being watched. The feeling was faint, and vanished without a trace the moment he sensed it.
Only Light Yagami, the owner of the Death Note, could experience such an abstract feeling. If I had to describe it with human-speak, it would be like someone with superpowers trying to pry into the Death Note's power. But the moment the power was activated, they were killed by the Death Note.
Therefore, Light Yagami could be sure that his identity hadn't been exposed. Although his features were still visible, it was probably like being exposed by dozens of people at once? It was the same level as when the police retrieved the surveillance footage and saw his profile in the crowd...
But this still aroused Light Yagami's vigilance. This time, it was an unknown spy, but what about the next time? Would there be a greater risk of his identity being exposed? Who was spying on him? The Public Security Bureau? Or was it Hayakawa Kiyo, the mastermind behind Araki Finance?
At this moment, the system seemed to sense Light Yagami's inner thoughts and quickly responded:
"When the host is attacked by an information-type esper, the system will automatically counterattack based on the scale of the attack. At the same time, the Death Note's powers will be fully unlocked against such enemies, and you will gain the Eyes of Death, and you will..."
"After all, it's Tongzi. If there's a problem, it can really solve it."
Now, in this bizarre world, the threat level of abilities like "The Magic Mirror Tells Me," which Light Yagami feared the most, has been completely reduced. While not completely eliminated, it no longer poses a fatal threat.
Just like that, Light Yagami, feeling relaxed, sat on the train to Chiyoda Ward with Ryougi Shiki.
Today, Ryougi Shiki didn't wear her usual red jacket, but a pure white kimono with a belt bag tied around her waist that looked like a firework. Compared to the past, she had a more feminine and delicate look.
This outfit made Yagami Light take a few more glances, curious: "Liangyi, you really like wearing kimonos... Even on rainy days, you still wear such a formal kimono."
Ryougi Shiki didn't say anything, but just made a nasal sound as if to agree.
When she was with Ye Shen, she would feel strangely at ease. When she was with Ye Shen, she would have the illusion that she was with him. When she was with Ye Shen, he would imagine that he could also go to that side...
Everyone will fantasize about taboo things, because people have this amazing masturbatory ability to enjoy imagining things they can't do.
"Why did you go all the way to Chiyoda's dessert shop?"
“Because of the good reputation.”
Light Yagami spoke seriously, reciting his prepared remarks: "The commentary app says 'rated a must-try dessert for Tokyo residents for ten consecutive years.'"
"The most famous signature dish here is Liang Yi's newest strawberry ice cream. According to customer reviews, it tastes better than Haagen-Dazs."
"That's it..."
Ryougi Shiki nodded.
Actually... she doesn't like ice cream, or rather, her pursuit of delicious food is almost nonexistent. Born into the prestigious Ryougi family, she was able to enjoy a variety of top-notch Japanese cuisine from a young age. Through her independent culinary practice, she mimicked food textures familiar to her, resulting in her exceptional cooking.
But this was simply to master the skills necessary for a lady of a noble family, not out of a desire for delicious food. While living alone, she often made do with tomato sandwiches and bottled water for three meals a day. The gourmet cooking skills she mastered were only used for family gatherings or entertaining important guests.
Light Yagami was left with the impression that she liked strawberry ice cream, not because she liked it, but...she simply overcame her inner weaknesses when accompanied by important people.
So, it doesn't matter what you eat or whether it tastes good or not. What matters most is who you eat with.
"Get off the car."
The tram stopped and people got off one after another.
The two walked side by side, very slowly, mainly because of Ryougi Shiki, who was wearing wooden clogs, forcing Light Yagami to slow down as well. However, slowness had its advantages, and it earned them both the attention of the audience.
Of course, the main focus was on Ryougi Shiki. Although Light Yagami looked handsome in his casual clothes, he still couldn't compare to the carefully dressed woman beside him.
Tall and slender, with delicate features, a faint golden glow flickered beneath her eyes. After getting off the train, her usual cold demeanor was accentuated by an indescribable... ethereal quality. She seemed uninterested in anything, simply surveying the surrounding scenery with indifference.
Although you are walking on the ground, you have the illusion of standing on a high place overlooking the scenery.
Light Yagami noticed this, but didn't think much of it. He'd encountered this kind of situation many times in his time with Ryougi Shiki, and he'd gotten used to it. After all, she was a woman, and her moods were always unstable. Light Yagami had already anticipated this.
"arrive."
Light Yagami stopped and looked up at the large sign of the dessert shop. But out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the manor belonging to the Anti-Demon Section 4 not far away.
The gate was locked, and there wasn't even anyone on duty at the entrance. But walking all the way from the tram station to here, I spotted at least three plainclothes officers. Combined with the large and small surveillance cameras along the street, there was practically no blind spot coverage.
It can be said that it is already very risky for Light Yagami himself to come here, and it is simply impossible to install new surveillance under the supervision of these surveillances.
Light Yagami led Ryougi Shiki up to the second floor of the dessert shop and sat down in a spacious area. He was distracted, and even while ordering, his eyes were fixed on the nearby manor.
"Yashi, you seem a little distracted."
Ryougi Shiki picked up the milk tea handed to her by the waiter and took a sip. The main dish was hot milk tea with strawberry ice cream, a must-try food combination.
"Eh... Is that so? Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about a difficult problem in my math homework." Light Yagami scratched his head with a wry smile, looking innocent.
Ryougi Shiki was indeed Ryougi Shiki, unlike some easily fooled little girl like Kitagawa Umi. Even with her acting skills, she couldn't fool him. After being exposed, Ye Se Yue had no choice but to restrain her thoughts, leaving only one of her thoughts at the Taima Class Manor.
He took the strawberry ice cream handed to him by the waiter and licked it with pretended happiness.
'Sweet...'
They both clearly didn't like sweets like ice cream, but neither of them mentioned it. If they did, it would ruin the "atmosphere," and breaking that barrier would be awkward for both of them.
Light Yagami was eating while checking his phone.
Today's headlines are about the "Proposed Juvenile Law Amendment." The outrageous public outcry generated by the appalling and diabolical proposal has finally forced the leaders of the government to amend the long-standing juvenile law. And, in public on social media, they pronounced a verdict on the crimes mentioned in the proposal.
People die, but their sins cannot be erased.
Light Yagami told Ryougi Shiki the news with a faint smile.
At this moment, Ryougi Shiki suddenly lowered her head and stared at Light Yagami's watch.
Light Yagami was certain that Ryougi Shiki's pupils were originally black, but after opening their Mystic Eyes, they would become a mixture of red and blue. But now... something unprecedented! While still black, Light Yagami could detect a faint golden glint.
The corners of her eyes became softer, and she was in a completely different state from the "Ryougi Shiki" she had been in before.
Yagami Light subconsciously touched his nose: "Liangyi, what's wrong?"
"Shiki... seems to value you very much, so you must keep it a secret from Shiki~ and don't let anyone know."
"Who are you?!" Yagami Light finally realized that while the person before him was still Ryougi Shiki,... it wasn't entirely her. Her speaking style and aura were two completely different people. In layman's terms, this person before him was probably Ryougi Shiki's alter ego.
Ryougi Shiki had no intention of explaining the issue, but simply smiled gently. "It's a very strange power. Shiki can see the death line, but can't kill it. It's just a false death line. I should be leaving soon. I look forward to our next meeting, Yagami-kun."
In her last moments before closing her eyes, she murmured, "Actually, Shi doesn't like strawberry ice cream."
call--
Ryougi Shiki's body seemed to have lost its support and was about to fall towards Light Yagami. Fortunately, Light Yagami was quick to catch her limp body.
'Strange, very strange!'
Light Yagami was extremely anxious, and his eyes, which were usually firm and calm, were now trembling as if they could not find a focus.
"She was looking at my watch just now. Has the corner of the note stored in the watch been discovered?"
'How could this happen? It's ridiculous!'
I was just taking the opportunity of going out with Ryougi Shiki to investigate the public security base, how could I encounter such a thing... Light Yagami felt uneasy. This kind of unexpected event that was beyond my control was the most difficult to accept.
Fortunately, Ryougi Shiki's other personality did not seem to reveal his intentions.
"I was so... careless. I only thought of using Ryougi Shiki as an opportunity to go out, but I didn't take Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes into account."
'We must reduce our contact with her.'
Light Yagami made a decision quickly. Although thinking this way might be a bit unfair to Ryougi Shiki, the more he came into contact with such a dangerous personality, the greater the risk of being seen through.
Ryougi Shiki slowly woke up.
She looked around blankly, and when she saw Light Yagami's hands on her shoulders, a faint blush crept into her ears. She casually slapped Light Yagami's hands away and sat up straight.
"Strange... Weren't we just on the train? When..."
"Maybe you're tired, Liangyi. You've looked absent-minded from just now until now." Light Yagami explained considerately.
"Eh? Me? Absent-minded?" Ryougi Shiki was slightly startled, and her attention was quickly diverted by Light Yagami's words. As if she had thought of something, she had a worried expression: "I'm sorry, Yagami, I..."
Ryougi Shiki was about to say something when a siren sounded next to the dessert shop.
The sudden incident interrupted their conversation. Looking towards the source of the noise, Light Yagami spotted a familiar face, Hayakawa Aki. He rushed out of the car with an anxious look on his face. He was wearing a bulletproof vest and clutching a pistol, seemingly loaded.
'What happened? '
Light Yagami's impression of Hayakawa Aki still lingers on the scene after the punishment of the bully. At that time, he was serving as an assistant to Officer Himeno.
"Could it be...that something happened to Himeno?"
Light Yagami's expression changed slightly. Ji Ye's words made her a good police officer, and judging by her words, she seemed to be a follower of Soichiro Yagami. It was hard not to be moved by such a relationship.
Ryougi Shiki seemed to notice the anxiety between Light Yagami's eyebrows and took a sip of her ice cream. "If you're worried, just go and have a look, Yagami."
"Ah."
Light Yagami wasn't one for pretentiousness. After hurriedly paying the bill, he led Ryougi Shiki towards the source of the commotion. It was an alleyway already crowded with onlookers.
"Hey! Cheer up, Kawada!"
Before people could see clearly what was happening in the alley, they could already hear Hayakawa Aki's anxious shouts in the alley.
"Kawada? That elite police officer whose family was murdered..." Light Yagami breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't Himeno, then it didn't matter. There were so many sad things in the world, and Light Yagami didn't have the emotional capacity to mourn every single death.
Relying on his physical advantage, he squeezed out a small space.
Several police officers blocked the entrance to the alley, and could barely see the scene inside through the wall of people.
The man lay in a pool of blood, his chest gushing uncontrollably. A Beretta pistol lay on the floor nearby, smoke billowing faintly from its muzzle. Hayakawa Aki crouched beside Kawada Ichiryu, anxiously administering first aid, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save the lives that were slipping away.
"What extent can the Mystic Eyes do?" Light Yagami suddenly thought, tilting his head to the side of Ryougi Shiki.
Because of the dense crowd, this tilt of the head created an extremely ambiguous distance between the two of them. "Liang Yi, can you do this? Kill the bullet in his body, and then kill the bleeding wound?"
Ryougi Shiki's ears turned redder and redder, but after hearing Light Yagami's question, she forced herself to regain her sanity. Her eyes turned towards Light Yagami and became softer. It was because of this gentle character that she looked at Light Yagami differently.
But, this kind of question... Ryougi Shiki shook his head with some regret: "It can't be done. His heart has been shot through, he will definitely die."
"Kawada! Live!" Hayakawa Aki shouted anxiously, but the gushing blood became hotter and hotter.
Kawada Ichiryu's dim eyes seemed to light up again, and her spirits were lifted. She raised her shaking hand, reached into her bosom, and tremblingly pulled out a blood-stained USB drive.
He forced a smile and said, "Hahaha, I told you I'd find the evidence. Everything you want is in there."
Hayakawa Aki took the USB drive and held it tightly in his hand: "Why didn't you call for reinforcements?"
"Your investigation isn't as clean as it seems. Cough!" Another mouthful of blood was coughed out. "This happened suddenly. They came to me with a purpose..."
"That's it. Dying on a mission to search for evidence is truly disgusting... I already thought the Metropolitan Police Department was completely rotten."
The last glimmer of light in Kawada Ichiryu's eyes began to fade, and his spirited pupils gradually began to blur. In his final moments, he looked dazed, "I say... Hayakawa Aki, I know... you're a good police officer, too."
"But this Metropolitan Police Department, this law... it's not worth it... it's not worth it..."
"Think about what Kira would do..."
His hands fell weakly to the ground, his pupils completely lost focus, his gray eyes looked at the gloomy sky, and a muffled thunder fell, seeming to make a mournful cry.
Hayakawa Aki stared at the scene in a daze, the tension in his heart seemingly snapping with the sound of thunder. It was as if something had been changed forever.
At this moment, the roar of an ambulance finally arrived, and emergency personnel, carrying a stretcher, pushed through the crowd and rushed to the scene. Looking further away, I seemed to see vehicles from TV stations and newspapers rushing in.
A fatal shooting occurred within three kilometers of Sakuradamon Gate. Such a headline would surely grab people's attention and, by the way, redirect public opinion against the tax thief. If it were revealed that the deceased was a police officer, public opinion would explode! It would be a feast for the eyes!
Perhaps this is what Kawada Ichiryu calls "a speck of dust of the times." When he was alive, he was like a speck of dust quietly falling in a corner, without any glamorous value. But after his death, he was able to trigger such a huge flow of traffic.
After watching Kawada Ichiryu's body being covered with a white cloth, placed on a stretcher, and sent into the ambulance, Hayakawa Aki silently turned around, turned his back to the crowd, and gradually disappeared at the end of the alley.
"Let's go and take a look." Light Yagami said.
Sometimes he also enjoyed observing people, so he and Ryougi Shiki broke free from the surging crowd and headed towards the other end of the alley.
