"Oh~ Miss Aozaki? I see."
Light Yagami knew Ryougi Shiki's social circle well. When she didn't have any commissions, she was basically a homebody who never left the house. In such a vast Tokyo, the only place she could go was Miss Aozaki, the person who issued the commissions.
Without any hypocritical words like "be careful" or "text me when you get home", Light Yagami walked onto the train with a natural expression and waved to Ryougi Shiki.
As the train door closed, Light Yagami pulled out his phone. The screen lit up, revealing a message from Yukinoshita Haruno.
...
...
"how so..."
Yukinoshita and her daughter sat at opposite ends of the sofa. Haruno clutched her cell phone tightly, unable to speak.
He had originally planned to sell his shares in the family's construction company to longtime partners at a very low price, but even then, no one was willing to take it over. The only companies that showed any willingness to discuss cooperation, after using his connections, he discovered that the actual controllers behind them were closely tied to the Truth Church.
"The Truth Church, they've got us in their grasp..."
Yukinoshita Hisako's face turned pale and she sighed deeply: "A group of people came to my house recently."
"what?"
"It's obvious that the person who's monitoring us isn't trying to hide himself... As for what that means, Yang Nai, you understand."
Yang No fell back into his seat, holding the armrests tightly with both hands: "You mean... we can't leave Qianye?"
"Are you kidding me? Is there any other way...what should I do?"
Yang Nai muttered to herself, lost in deep confusion. She had originally anticipated the worst-case scenario, but now, it seemed even her only escape route was blocked.
"what is that?"
Haruno seemed to see a file wrapped in brown paper on the table. It had wrinkles on it, like something a person would do in extreme anger. Haruno reached out to the file. Yukinoshita Hisako wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she could only sigh and watch Haruno open the file.
The encapsulated silk thread was untied one circle at a time, and an increasingly ominous premonition grew in Yang Noi's heart.
The moment the information inside was pulled out, her pupils suddenly contracted.
It's a photo of Yukino.
In addition, it also contains Hayakawa Kiyo's false concern and greetings. To sum up, their leader once again proposed to Yukinoshita Hisako, and at the same time, he loved her two daughters very much. After they get married, he will take good care of the sisters Haruno and Yukino as if they were his own children.
Yang Nai was trembling all over, frantically tearing the file into pieces, his chest heaving violently: "How dare he, how dare he?!"
If this matter only involved herself or her mother, Haruno wouldn't be so angry. But...it involved her sister?
Women are weak, but sisters are strong.
Right now, Yang No had only one thought: he wanted Hayakawa Kiyo dead! Now! Immediately! He couldn't wait even a moment longer, no matter what the cost!
Yang No's head hung low, her entire face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to discern her true expression after the mask had completely shattered. Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she were cornered and trembling with fear, at a loss for what to do.
Yukinoshita Hisako looked at this scene distressedly: "There is no other way. If things are hopeless, Haruno, take Yukino and leave Chiba and Japan. There is one last sum of money in the secret account, which I prepared for you sisters."
"No matter what happens to the Shinrikyo Church, don't return to this rotten land of Japan."
"I will stay at the Yukinoshita family until the end..."
Yukinoshita Haruno raised her head, the light in her eyes had been completely swallowed up, leaving only the blazing black flames: "It hasn't come to that point yet. Mother, you will be fine, and Yukino and I don't have to leave Japan."
“Not to that extent?”
Yukinoshita Hisako was stunned. She knew her eldest daughter's personality well. To say such a thing meant she did have a way out. But if even she was helpless, what else could she do?
The connections that Yang Nai has accumulated were all inherited from these elders!
As if she had thought of something, she solemnly warned, "Yang Nai, don't be deceived by others because you are desperate to seek help. And don't be reluctant to give up because of me. I taught you since you were a child that when it is time to give up everything, you should give up everything."
"The Yukinoshita family can no longer be defended. You and Yukino are everything to me. Nothing can happen to you."
"No." Yang Nai said firmly: "There is someone who can save our family."
"Who?"
"It's God... No, it's the devil."
"Is that so..."
Yukinoshita Hisako looked thoughtful, as if she had guessed something. She still wanted to reverse the outcome in this situation... No matter who the other party was, Haruno would have to pay a heavy price before she could get the other party to take action.
Yang Nai knows her bottom line and will definitely not do anything that will harm her family, so what else can she give?
"I'm afraid she's the only one left."
Is it the body? Is it the emotions? Or even life?
Yukinoshita Hisako's gaze gradually became complex, filled with kindness, tenderness, guilt, and reluctance... With red eyes, she slowly walked towards Yukinoshita Haruno and gave her a hug she had never given her since they were adults. For her own incompetence to ultimately allow her eldest daughter to bear such a heavy fate was an absolute dereliction of duty as a mother.
Pressing Yang Noi's mature and delicate face into the abyss of motherhood, she said softly: "Whether it's God or the devil, making a deal with such a person... Yang Noi, you have decided to sell yourself out."
Yukinoshita Haruno's tense, hate-filled face somehow relaxed. Tears streamed slowly from the corners of her eyes, and she choked with sobs, unable to speak. Receiving her mother's love once again, she clung tightly to her mother's waist, savoring what might have been her final moments.
She still wasn't sure, but since she was selling her soul, she had a vague sense of realization. Regardless of whether she could ultimately pass Kira, the test Light Yagami had given her, paying the price with her life meant giving her soul without reservation. If that happened... Kira would definitely, definitely take action!
She couldn't change her heart, but she could prove her loyalty with her life.
For her mother and Yukino, Haruno is no longer afraid of death. Even if it costs her life, she will never let Yukino be defiled by that damned filthy guy! That is the purest land in her heart!
"It's Mom who's sorry for you, it's the Yukinoshita family who's sorry for you... Haruno, for the sake of this family, please!"
"Ah."
Yang No was lost in this soft, sweet dream, and she didn't get up for a long time. This might be the last time. Until the feeling of suffocation gradually came over her and her consciousness was disconnected, Yang No reluctantly let go of Yukinoshita Hisako's waist.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her white hand: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely keep this family!"
Yang No returned to her room, took out her cell phone, and with trembling fingers, she clicked on the contact with the note "Yagami Light", and tremblingly wrote and sent a message.
She knew what kind of road lay ahead of her. This message was tantamount to saying, "I'm ready, please kill me." Killing oneself with one's own hands would be a thousand times more terrifying than being attacked unexpectedly.
However, Yang Noi, with her blood boiling and anger surging, no longer had time to care about such distracting thoughts.
[Yukinoshita Haruno: I miss you, Yagami, where can we meet? ]
"I miss you" was the code word Light Yagami said before he left. When Yukinoshita Haruno was ready to pledge her loyalty to this devil, she would use this code word to meet him. Haruno had almost figured out the reason, so she didn't say anything more.
But after a moment, accompanied by the panicked heartbeat of Yukinoshita Haruno, the phone vibrated heart-poundingly.
Yagami Light: ▆▆▆, now that you're ready, come here~
After receiving Light Yagami's reply, Haruno's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and she began to dress in a panic. Everything was for a "reason." This kind of big thing would definitely be investigated in the end, so any contact must have a reason.
Even if Yukinoshita Haruno will die in the end, she still needs to show her sincerity now.
After making all the preparations, Yang Nai came to the underground garage of his home and drove away with a bang.
Volume 1: 69 Love You, Sister (6K5)
The place that Light Yagami agreed to meet was a relatively private coffee shop.
This was one of the planned meeting places. The key point was that the female owner was a woman, so Yagami Light quickly used his expertise to establish a good relationship with the owner. On the second floor of the cafe, there was an exclusive private room where no one could disturb them.
But before going to the coffee shop, Light Yagami went to a nearby stationery store and came to a booth that specialized in selling notebooks.
He patiently took out notebooks of different categories and looked through them, until the clerk next to him noticed Light Yagami's strange behavior and walked forward with some curiosity.
"Student, are you looking for a special notebook?"
"Well, I need a notebook with lines. I want a pure white background. Do you have any?"
"Yes, here."
Facing Light Yagami's gentle gaze and handsome face, the clerk, who usually treated customers perfunctorily, softened her tone unconsciously and led Light Yagami to the other side of the merchandise shelf.
Light Yagami opened the notebook handed to him by the shop assistant and nodded with satisfaction.
After paying at the cashier's counter, he casually took off one of the sheets, pushed the notebook back along the counter, and then turned around to leave.
The salesgirl belatedly realized what was happening and shouted, "Hey, sir, your notebook!"
"No, it's inconvenient to hold it in your hand, so I'll just leave it here for now."
Light Yagami left, leaving the shop assistant standing there in a daze.
Everything after that became a natural progression. Yagami Light pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked to his own private room on the second floor. He casually ordered two lattes and sat down to wait alone.
If Yukinoshita Haruno really died because of the notebook, things would become very troublesome. There would be countless clues to find her.
The so-called test of believers...
Light Yagami smoothed over a page of notes lying flat on the coffee table.
"Kira never needs believers. The courage to die is enough to prove one's resolve. The overwhelming emotions from the heart are far more effective than extreme faith."
"Enlightenment" is the courage to face death, the determination to forge ahead, and the responsibility to achieve one's goals and protect one's family. For her family, she decided to risk her life to find herself and participate in the trial. Yukinoshita Haruno's "enlightenment" shines brighter than the sun breaking through the clouds outside.
"Her courage has transformed into enlightenment~"
Light Yagami looked into the distance and watched a dark and steady Crown Toyota slowly drive into the parking lot.
"Are you here~?"
Light Yagami stood by the window, smiled warmly at Yukinoshita Haruno below, and waved. But a moment later, Yukinoshita Haruno, led by the waitress, walked into Light Yagami's exclusive private room.
"Ms. Yukinoshita, did you miss me? We meet again so soon."
Yagami Light extended his hand affectionately and pointed to the chair in front of him: "Come, sit down."
Yukinoshita Haruno didn't show much emotion. This time, she didn't refuse and sat across from Light Yagami with a stern face. It would be the same for anyone; when facing death, no matter how much of a mask you put on, it wouldn't hold up.
On the empty dining table were two steaming cups of coffee and a note with the cause of death written on it.
Before any verbal communication took place, Yang Nai's heart suddenly trembled just by seeing the words on the note.
[▆▆▆, within a minute of leaving the cafe, at a traffic light intersection a kilometer away, he died painlessly in a car accident]
It was like a contract of sale, everything had been planned out, just waiting for the person who wanted to sell himself to sign his name and offer his soul.
"Are you really ready, Miss Yukinoshita?" Light Yagami pushed a pen across the smooth table surface.
Yukinoshita Haruno took a deep breath and said, "There's one thing I want to confirm again."
"Please say."
"If I truly have unconditional recognition and loyalty to Kira in my heart, will I die?"
"Not really, if you really do it~Kira's power can't kill his own believers~"
"Like this..." Yang No put her hands on her knees.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had made this gesture, this humble begging attitude.
"Ye Shenjun, I have a favor to ask of you, no matter what."
"If... I die in the end, please, please help the Yukinoshita family just once. None of those guys deserve to be alive in this world. They deserve to die. Although I want to kill them subjectively, but..."
Light Yagami raised his hand to stop Yang No from continuing.
"Please tell me these words after you have proven yourself."
"Now, the only thing Ms. Yukinoshita has to do is sign your name here."
Yukinoshita Haruno gripped the pen, her hand trembling uncontrollably. Suddenly, a urge to vomit welled up in her throat. She tightly covered her mouth with her left hand, forcibly suppressing the urge.
The pupils seemed to have lost their focus, and things in front of my eyes began to appear double.
But Light Yagami, instead of offering any words of comfort, began to chant: "The more cunning humans are, the more likely they are to fall into unexpected difficulties. The shortcut is the longest way, and the longest way is the shortcut~"
"From the moment you planned to plot against me, the decision you are facing now was destined~"
"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage! Come, Miss Yukinoshita, prove your courage, prove your awareness!"
Death is so lonely and worthless. Death is so dark and terrifying. Death is more terrifying than anything else...but Yukinoshita Haruno has to sit here and face death.
When a person dies, there is nothing left. Just like water disappearing into water, everything returns to nothingness. All the fame, wealth, and pursuits in life will turn into eternal nothingness.
Yukinoshita Haruno still remembers the question she asked her mother when she was a child, "What does it feel like to die?" Yukinoshita Hisako told her that she was just asleep.
But now Yang Nai understood that it wasn't sleep; it was unconscious extinction, a state of no consciousness, a state of never waking up again. It represented disappearance, a permanent end to existence. It was like it had never been born in over a hundred years. It was like a speck of dust in the dimension of space and time, from its birth to its demise through the Big Bang...
Whenever she thought of this, Yang No felt as if she were in a silent, dark space without time or space. But within this darkness, the voice, appearance, and smile of Yukino gradually emerged.
The lower one's status, the less they have to lose, and the less they fear death. Like the pioneers of ancient times, they risked their lives to build a future for themselves and their families... But Yang Nai is different. She was born to enjoy everything, and she has a wonderful life ahead of her.
But now... she was going to die, and walk herself to the guillotine with her own hands.
