Volume 1: 80 Yukinoshita Kira
The second-in-command of the Chiba Prefectural Police was publicly executed.
Such a horrifying thing...
Ji Ye was shocked and speechless. Her previous actions were just a pretext for killing people. But when it came to the real owner, Miss Machima, she really dared to kill people...
This brutal scene even brought a strange look to the eyes of Ryougi Shiki, who had just been fighting side by side with him.
Killing people right in front of him... no, murder, was that really right? Hadn't he been trying to prevent similar killings? But thanks to a high-ranking police officer who was doing nothing but taking a job, Yasami nearly died in the dojo. Making him pay with his life was an extreme act, but it still complied with Ryougi Shiki's wishes.
'Just this once.'
Ryougi Shiki silently warned herself in her heart that if there was a next time, she would stand up and stop Makima even if the criminal was the one.
"Sorry, sir. I need to report this to the Chief Cabinet Secretary." The SAT captain, though terrified, insisted on fulfilling his duty. This was the order from the Chief Cabinet Secretary, granting Makima unlimited power when necessary, but requiring her to report everything she did.
"Well, go ahead."
"Yes."
Captain SAT breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called the official's dedicated phone number. The call was quickly connected, and after explaining the entire situation, the official's dignified and elderly voice said angrily, "Have Machima come to see me immediately!"
Then the person on the other end of the phone hung up.
Captain SAT said with some embarrassment, "Sir, the Secretary asked you to see him immediately."
Makima remained calm in response to the order. She turned to Ryougi Shiki and said, "Miss Ryougi, could you protect Yue-kun while I'm gone?"
"Sure." Ryougi Shiki responded solemnly.
Although she did not approve of Makima's brutal methods in her heart, her will to protect Light Yagami was no weaker than anyone else's.
"Have Yanmu send Kyuji Kanesada over to us, so we don't run into a monster like that again." Ryougi Shiki had already made up her mind. She would guard the door of Light Yagami's ward, never leaving. With Kyuji Kanesada by her side, no one would dare harm Light Yagami.
But one thing still bothered Ryougi Shiki: why was Light Yagami involved in this kidnapping case? Even though he was just one of the kidnapped people in a large-scale kidnapping case.
"...Is that so? I understand." After listening to the SAT members' report, Himeno said seriously, "Ms. Makima, according to the survivors, they were abducted here because they were near Araki Financial during the [Araki Financial Incident]."
"Among the first prisoners you killed at the shrine, one of them confirmed with certainty that Kira was among the seventeen people abducted, and shouted, 'Kill all the survivors, and Kira's attacks will stop.'"
Ji Ye reminded: "He is so sure that Kira is among these survivors, he is very likely a superpower."
Suspicious, maybe even nine out of ten.
Ji Ye couldn't help but think again of what the square-faced secret police had said to him, that Light Yagami might be Kira. Although there were still many incredible things, so many coincidences overlapping together made it inexplicably believable.
"Ms. Makima, wouldn't Mr. Ye Shen be..."
Makima seemed to be awakened by Jiye's words. On the day of the Araki Financial incident, she smelled the smell of blood on Light Yagami. But this matter can be explained. On that day, Light happened to be eating near the place where the incident occurred.
Squinting her eyes, Makima raised her hand, and invisible power surged into Light Yagami's body, as well as the bodies of the remaining fourteen survivors. She quickly shook her head, sensing no fluctuations typical of a psychic.
Ji Ye reminded again: "We have clearly analyzed that Kira is hiding somewhere in the Greater Tokyo area. Every time Kira takes action, he is under your surveillance, Miss Makima... Kira is likely to have the ability to conceal his aura."
"We have all the surveillance footage from the streets around that time. That psychic was so convinced that Kira was among the survivors, so we can give it a try!"
"At least conduct a body search. If not for abilities, then for tools. At least check all suspicious items on the body! This must be done on all survivors at the scene."
Himeno was also confused by his concern. He had already confirmed that Light Yagami was not Kira. Now, another deceased esper was using his powers to subtly point the finger at the list of survivors. Although the power might not be reliable and the person was dead, Himeno still wanted to confirm it.
She couldn't accept the possibility that Light Yagami was Kira, even if it was possible. That would be a blasphemy to Lord Yagami Soichiro, and it would be a blasphemy to her own expectations of the younger generation!
Subconsciously, she reached out to Light Yagami who was lying on the ground.
The next second, a short blade with a cold glow was placed across Ji Ye's neck, and the threat was self-evident.
Ryougi Shiki's cold voice said, "No matter what you do, I will not allow anyone to touch him for any purpose until Yashin regains consciousness."
"You..." Ji Ye was speechless. She really wanted to say that when the person woke up, the investigation would most likely go astray due to the person's subjective will.
"That's enough, Himeno. I'm the head of the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4."
Under the power of control, Ji Ye's body stood up against his will.
"Miss Makima, you're going to regret this!"
Ji Ye struggled and said, "Haven't you always wanted to catch Kira? At least, now it's a clue. We should strictly monitor and search all the survivors... This is the only clue we have about Kira now."
It was ridiculous, but Ji Ye had once confirmed with Makima that none of the public security officials, or even any registered psychics, had abilities related to intelligence. Now it seemed that the cult, the Truth Cult, might have had an intelligence-related psychic, but Makima had remotely crushed him.
All Ji Ye can rely on now are the seemingly plausible clues left by that guy before he died.
Facing Ji Ye's doubts, Makima said slowly: "First of all, my power perception cannot be wrong. Secondly, if Kira is really in the dojo, no one in the dojo would live so long if they knew his name and appearance."
"According to our analysis, Kira's abilities are limited. The number of people he kills per day is capped at approximately ten, and they are usually killed on the same day or the next day."
"The simplest way to verify this is, if Kira continues to kill people during the few days Yue Jun was unconscious... then he can be eliminated as a suspect. After that, you can use your own methods to eliminate the remaining thirteen people."
After saying that, Makima released the control effect on Ji Ye and returned control of her body to her.
Ji Ye was speechless. As Makima said, this was indeed the most direct method of verification. If Kira had stopped punishing the criminals during Light Yagami's coma, then the possibility of Light Yagami being Kira would be greatly increased, but there was still no solid evidence, and vice versa.
"That's it~"
Makima waved her hand and said, "Jinye, remember to collect the evidence at the scene. In addition to Kira, the Truth Cult is also a target to be eliminated."
"Yes, I understand."
Outside the dojo, an ambulance flashed red and blue lights and emitted a rapid whistle.
Ji Ye stood there silently, looking at Light Yagami lying unconscious on the ground, and said silently in his heart: "I hope it's not you, Brother Yagami."

【#Who is Kira#】
What happened at 09:09 AM ignited a wave of online searches on the Japanese internet. On the one hand, there was the highly publicized new religious group exposing its dark inner workings under the gaze of numerous mobile phone cameras and media outlets; on the other, there was the self-immolation scene, which seemed like divine punishment.
It makes people feel an indescribable sense of weirdness.
In particular, Hayakawa Kiyo's words "Kira is real" before her death not only increased her popularity, but also ignited people's curiosity.
Originally, Kira's story was limited to a small area in Chiba, and even with the announcement of the Demonic Class, few people paid much attention. How many new criminals, like celebrities, emerge every day? If I had to memorize every one of them, how would my brain capacity be sufficient? How would I even devote more energy to work and life?
The Internet has a memory of only seven days.
But if it were to be recalled from the forgotten memories of the internet, the effect would be completely different. An internet expert dug up a special report from Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4 that was once broadcast on Chiba TV, and the content of the report perfectly answered the question raised by the trending search:
Kira targets criminals and plots a massive serial murder. This is absolutely unforgivable, the greatest heinous crime in history.
Oh, it turns out to be a criminal killer!
Huh? Criminal killer!
Look at the adjectives given to it by the Anti-Demon Class! "Super-large", "the largest in history", "unforgivable".
The super-large one is aimed at the criminals who are most hated by the civilians. The largest in history illustrates Kira's achievements, and the unforgivable one illustrates the incompetent rage of the master and the weak law that are hated by the civilians.
Good, good, good! Applause, yes!
Can this be called a criminal? The people of the world have suffered from weak laws for a long time! Kira, who was defined as a criminal by the government, was suddenly elevated to a hero of justice in the eyes of these civilians.
Combined with the urgent investigation notice issued by the Metropolitan Police Department on the Chiba branch of the Shinrikyo cult, the authenticity of Kira was further proved.
Inexplicably, instead of fearing Kira, people are embracing him with a frenzy. How long will this wave last? It's hard to say, but one thing is certain: it will surpass the average internet memory span of seven days.
Those young people who claim to be messengers of justice took off their masks and searched for all terms related to Kira on the Internet.
Soon, the [Savior Website] came into view.
Faced with a massive influx of new IP access, the Metropolitan Police Department's cybersecurity department had no choice but to abandon monitoring. It was simply too much, from a few thousand visits to tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands...
Everything was progressing in the direction of the prophecy that Light Yagami had spoken to Yukinoshita Yukino at the very beginning. Fate was like a one-way street, and everyone was moving towards their predetermined fate.
A virus called Kira, rooted in the human heart, was detonated.
……
……
evening.
"Something big happened at the Truth Church's temple."
Yukinoshita Hisako and Yukinoshita Haruno, mother and daughter, sat on either side of the sofa. After Yuki's mother listened to the report from her servants, she dismissed her attendants.
"Police from across the prefecture have been dispatched to the scene. We just received word that even Tokyo's SAT unit has been deployed. Any online information about the incident will be immediately blocked by cybersecurity authorities."
"SAT? That's a really big deal..." Yang Nai was a little surprised, but it was only for a moment. Now, no matter what it was, it didn't really touch his heart.
No matter how big the matter is, can it be bigger than the fact that Kira is real? I wonder what Lord Yashin would think when he sees what he planned.
"At least for now, it seems the Truth Cult is finished. There's been such a big commotion in Chiba that even the SAT and the Anti-Demon Public Security have been dispatched. Regardless of the final investigation results, their headquarters in Minami-Aoyama will be targeted for investigation. Their power and influence will suffer a devastating blow, leaving them with no time to care about Chiba."
"The crisis... was resolved just like that."
Until now, Yukinoshita Hisako still has the illusion that she is floating in a dream.
This behemoth that weighed on her heart, a behemoth that even made her ready to die, the newly emerging political and religious complex in the Tokyo area, was solved so easily?
Just by manipulating Hayakawa Kiyo to reveal the dark side of the Shinrikyo in front of the media, a series of chain reactions were triggered... The monster named Kira is really terrifying.
Like daughter, like mother. The pleasure of trampling on and transcending order that grew in Haruno's heart was also felt deeply in Yukinoshita Hisako's heart.
With such power, all politicians, religious forces, and financial groups would be wary of it. Once someone committed an unspeakable crime, and then was manipulated into exposing everything to the media, it would be more terrifying than killing them.
After all, death is merely the interruption of one's own thoughts; one loses one's own life, but the real world persists objectively. Kira's actions are equivalent to destroying his entire reputation in the objective world and the power he has painstakingly cultivated... Such a price is simply too horrific for someone of their class.
"The sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head is a greater threat to the powerful than to ordinary criminals."
As long as any competing businessmen or politicians are executed in Kira's name and all the dirty laundry behind them is exposed through Kira himself, the enemies standing in front of the Yukinoshita family will be afraid and disappear!
As long as they have Kira's help, anything can be done, and they will become the invisible emperors of Chiba!
Yukinoshita Hisako was thankful that her eldest daughter was secretly connected to Kira. The guilt she felt for her daughter was unknowingly swallowed up by the power that overshadowed her. She harbored a faint hope, hoping that Haruno would do more for the family, secretly communicate more deeply with Kira, no matter how great the cost!
If possible, she would even want to bear the price on behalf of Haruno. For the sake of her family, she would not mind even if she had to sacrifice her soul and body to sell to the devil. In Yukinoshita Hisako's heart, the family is greater than her two daughters and greater than herself.
It was a pity that Yang Nai, who always obeyed his orders, refused to budge on this matter. Whether it was direct orders or indirect inquiries, Yang Nai was completely on guard, not revealing any information even to his closest people.
This made Yukinoshita Hisako both angry and relieved. She was relieved that Haruno had finally grown to a point where even she, the head of a large family, was helpless. She was also angry that Haruno still cared too much about herself and her as a mother. Putting family ties before family meant that Haruno couldn't reach the same level as her.
Some seek to become gods by gaining supreme power, others seek to change a nation from within, and still others seek to gradually ascend to supremacy for their own family. Perhaps someone like Yukinoshita Hisako is suited to traveling to a world like "High Martial Arts/Fantasy: The Rise of the ○○ Family."
"Yang No, did that person... contact you?"
"Not really." Yang Nai picked up the teacup and took a sip. "And mother, this matter has become so serious that our family is likely to be secretly monitored and investigated. So during this period, it is better not to talk about similar topics~"
"I know." Hisako nodded, and finally asked tentatively: "Yonano, can you let that person..."
"No, mother!"
As soon as Yukinoshita Hisako opened her mouth, Haruno knew what she was going to say next. To put it crudely, as soon as Yukinoshita Hisako pouted, Haruno knew what she was going to say. Such a thing was absolutely impossible.
"Mother... is in danger." Haruno's heart sank. It was for Yukino and her mother that she had the resolve to pass Kira's test.
What about her mother? Yang Nai knew her mother well. Her mindset had already placed the family above all else. Her concept of good and evil was even more indifferent than that of her, the eldest daughter. In fact, she only cared about the interests of the family.
Continuing this curiosity would only draw her mother deeper into the trap. As someone at the center of this vortex, Haruno knew the allure of Kira's power to even the most ordinary person, a power even more addictive than ℃ addiction. Once her mother came into contact with Kira, she would be completely captivated.
"You must not let your mother come into contact with Light Yagami."
Yang No made up her mind: "Mother, I will never do anything that will harm the interests of the family, but wanting to do more is no longer possible. Please let go of that thought, otherwise it will be a disaster for our Yukinoshita family."
After saying that, Yang Noi didn't care about her mother's reaction and planned to turn around and go back to her room.
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Yang Nai's heart skipped a beat. How could it be so fast? Could it be that the Anti-Demon Public Security Bureau came to investigate?
The door to Yukinoshita's mansion was opened, and the maid took the package from the courier. After signing for it, she came to Yang No and said, "Ms. Yang No, this is your package."
"My delivery?"
Yang Nai was stunned. She had been busy with the Truth Church's affairs these days and hadn't bought anything online. Could it be that...
