Yang No narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of a possibility, took the express box with the words "Express Delivery in the City" printed on it, and looked at the sender. It was not Light Yagami, but a name he had never heard of before.

"Did I guess wrong?" Yang Nai was puzzled, but she didn't show any abnormality. She walked straight back to her room with the package in her hand.

With a nervous mood, I opened the express package and revealed the true appearance of the items inside.

A plain white paper, very similar to the one Light Yagami had given her for the trial that day in the cafe. It was only a thin sheet, with lines of small words written on it.

Yang Nai quickly held the paper in front of his eyes and read the contents carefully.

[Ms. Yang No, when you receive this package, it means I may have fallen into a state of being unable to control myself. Starting from midnight tomorrow, you will be required to carry out the execution on behalf of Kira. Please use your own channels and TV news to determine the execution list. Do not violate Kira's execution standards. Do not kill the wrong person, do not miss the opportunity to kill, and kill everyone who should be killed.]

[Please note: there are only four chances per day]

[Please note: Do not let Ms. Yukino touch the paper]

[Finally, if you are worried that your family may guess your connection with Kira, please let them touch this page.]

[Don't worry about the contents of the note being leaked. These words will soon disappear. And the names of the people who wrote them will also disappear after they die. This will become an ordinary piece of paper.]

If you are not investigated, please come to the school to see me with this paper after confirming that you and I are safe.

Under Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze, the writing on the paper seemed to be consumed by flames, gradually turning black and disappearing, while the paper itself remained unchanged. Haruno clutched the paper tightly in her hand and murmured, "It's truly miraculous... So, Yagami, are you being targeted now? Don't worry, I won't expose you."

The ordinary white paper has an inexplicable magic that constantly induces the desires deep in people's hearts.

Yukinoshita Haruno stared at the words in her hand, speechless. A sudden thought struck her: if she wrote Light Yagami's name on them, would she then be able to keep the paper all to herself? And then, could she then use this thin piece of paper to rule the world as she pleased?

A burning thought formed in Yang No's mind, but it was just a thought. A strong premonition told her that if she wrote Light Yagami's name on this paper, something terrible would happen immediately. Or rather... a disaster would occur.

Haruno took a deep breath, calming her ambitions. She began to wonder when to let her mother touch the paper. After that, she wouldn't have to worry about Kira's secret being revealed. According to what Light Yagami had said when they met that day, if she touched the paper and learned about Kira, the moment she tried to reveal that information, her memory would be stripped away and altered.

In other words, absolutely safe!

……

Volume 1: 81 Let me, Yukinoshita Haruno—

Yukinoshita Haruno did not go to bed early today.

She usually goes to bed at 11 p.m. and gets a full eight hours of sleep. Before bed, she drinks a glass of warm milk and does 20 minutes of stretching exercises. She falls asleep instantly, sleeping through the night and never bringing fatigue or stress into the next day.

Especially today is Sunday.

Everyone has Monday syndrome, so on Sundays, Yukinoshita Haruno goes to bed earlier than usual.

But today is different.

It is now 23:59 PM. Yukinoshita Haruno sits upright in her office chair, staring at her watch with excitement flashing in her eyes.

There was no need to screen and confirm which criminals to kill, Yukinoshita Haruno had already selected the targets early on.

According to the afternoon news report, the headquarters of the Shinrikyo cult in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo has been searched by the Metropolitan Police Department, but nothing was found. However, no results do not mean innocence.

Just like the frequent complaints about the victims of the Truth Church on the Savior Kira website, every one of them is still fresh in my mind. They are scum who can be killed without any problem.

Yukinoshita Haruno planned to target these people. She had memorized their names, faces, and positions within the Shinrikyo (the True Truth Church). The cause of death was already written on that page of notes. Once midnight arrived, Yukinoshita Haruno would write their names, and her power would activate.

puff-

puff-

Yukinoshita Haruno's heartbeat was strong again. This time, it was different from the past. It was not because she was frightened by Light Yagami. Instead, it was because she was an ordinary person and suddenly had the power to control death.

Until this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly felt that family interests and the execution of justice were no longer that important. What mattered was that she could control the death and fate of others at will.

"Sbarasi~"

When did this start? This morbid desire. Perhaps it had been there since childhood, with an unusual obsession with Yukino. Or perhaps it was because of Yukinoshita Hisako's words and deeds in controlling her life that Haruno also had this desire.

She gave all her kindness to Yukino, not wanting her sister to be dominated by her mother like herself. She wanted Yukino to have the power to pursue her true self... Then, she should vent all her evil and control the life and death of her enemies.

In the past, Haruno didn't have that ability, so she always showed a mask to outsiders as "the cheerful eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family." But no one knew that her heart was pure black... a black that had abandoned worldly constraints.

For example, right now, murder, which could become a lifelong nightmare for Yukino, is something Yukinoshita Haruno can't wait to try.

"Right, Ye Shen, you also want me to kill the people of the Truth Church, right~"

To Yukinoshita Haruno, the Chiba branch was merely a secondary target. Asahara Shoko, the man far away in Minami-Aoyama who wanted to turn the Yukinoshita family into a star-rage force, was the ultimate scum.

Tick-tick~Finally, the second hand pointed to twelve, and the minute hand and hour hand moved forward one space together.

The time has come.

Almost in an instant, Yukinoshita Haruno lay prone with her upper body, her black eyes flashing with an excited and crazy red light, and her waving hands seemed to be conducting a grand symphony.

"Let's set the time to 09:09~"

"Yagami Light, you're helpless now and desperately need a bloodbath to prove your innocence, right? But don't be too hasty, otherwise it will seem too deliberate. I know, I know, I, Yukinoshita Haruno, can imagine what you're thinking. I'm the one who understands you best!"

"I, Yukinoshita Haruno, will present a gift for Kira's birth!"

“Ehahahaha——”

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the four names written neatly in her notebook and smiled morbidly.

……

……

"Master, what should we do next?"

The headquarters in Minami-Aoyama was brightly lit even at midnight. In the smoke-filled meeting room for the leader and his staff, Asahara Shoko sat at the head of the group, his large, hairy feet carelessly stepping on the backs of Nakagawa Tomomasa's wife and daughter.

His expression was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

It's ruined, everything is ruined.

That bastard, Nakagawa Tomomasa, didn't accomplish anything, and instead escalated the situation to the point of complete collapse. Do you know what the people who came to search Minami-Aoyama this afternoon said? They asked him where he hid the research materials related to the Apocalypse Virus?

Ha, at this point, Asahara Shoko almost knew everything, and their use of the Apocalypse virus to create human weapons was exposed.

When you have bad luck, you can't stop it...

All the hard work of years was over. All gone. His dream, his fantasy of entering the Cabinet Secretariat, was shattered. Even before the House of Representatives election had begun, Asahara Shoko already saw a future of crushing defeat.

Look at the attitude of the search personnel this afternoon. They have no respect at all and are even unwilling to call him "leader".

Those congressmen who had already made arrangements for the transfer of benefits, after what happened in the morning, claimed to be sick or simply refused to answer the phone when they were contacted.

"Yeah!"

Asahara Shoko suddenly exerted force with his legs and stepped hard on the human foot pad. Another painful sound came from under his feet.

"This world has become filthy!" Asahara Shoko's tone changed, becoming solemn and dignified. Even within the core power structure of the Shinrikyo, he maintained his usual playful and mysterious demeanor: "Our mission is to save the souls of the world..."

If we talk about who Asahara Shoko wants to kill the most right now,

The first person to come in first is undoubtedly Kira, the guy who planned everything. A self-immolation incident destroyed his dream of becoming an official. After the incident, Asahara Shoko immediately tried to understand Kira, which made Asahara Shoko feel boundless fear.

If that guy targeted him, he would be dead for sure. But Kira hadn't made a move on him until late at night. Why?

Asahara Shoko couldn't fathom the twists and turns involved. While he hated Kira with a vengeance, he was also deeply afraid of him. This was probably the common mentality of people who committed serious crimes.

Despite his hatred, he had to suppress it temporarily because he did not know Kira's identity. He would then order all his followers to break up into smaller groups and have them throughout Japan keep a close eye on Kira's movements. If Kira was captured, he would be given the most painful death possible.

Besides Kira, Asahara Shoko hated the people of the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4 the most. The search for the Chiba branch was led by the Anti-Demon Public Security. However, since they still didn't know their identities, they had to give up.

But he also wanted to kill the Superintendent of Police, the head of the Taima Public Security Bureau. He had secretly given him numerous gifts, shown considerable sincerity, and performed numerous shady acts for him. Yet, even so, he showed no mercy during the afternoon raid, showing no respect at all... What did he mean by that? Was he using Asahara Shoko as a shady glove? Damn it!

Asahara Shoko placed his two feet on the snow-white back, spread his arms and shouted, "The first person we need to purify is the Superintendent General Kunimatsu Koji."

"That guy really doesn't take our Truth Church seriously."

Assassinate the second-in-command of the entire Japanese police system!

This plan, which sounded crazy to outsiders, did not cause any waves among the core power circles of the Shinrikyo, or they had long been accustomed to Asahara Shoko's madness.

Although this proposal sounds bold, it is vaguely reliable.

The Japanese police's top police official, the National Police Agency Commissioner, wasn't powerful enough to know his travel routes. But they knew the Superintendent well, and for this very day, they had bribed someone close to the Superintendent, allowing them to retrieve detailed information about his travel routes.

That was enough. It was enough for them to plan and launch an assassination case that would shock the entire East!

What they need most now is time, time to destroy and transfer the evidence of their crimes in Japan, and time to divert the attention of those government lackeys.

One of them asked: "What to do? With a gun? Or... a virus?"

"Of course I would use a gun. Using a virus would be too obvious and easily discovered."

"Our goal isn't to actually kill the Director, but to divert the police's attention." Another person said, "Do you think the Metropolitan Police Department officers will care more about us or their superiors? It's obvious, right?"

Asahara Shoko looked at the man with dissatisfaction: "My informant in the Metropolitan Police Department leaked the information to me. The police will raid one of our laboratories tomorrow."

"I was thinking... since it's too late to transfer it, why not just use it right away?"

Asahara Shoko tapped his finger heavily on the center of the map. "This is the Tokyo Metro station with the heaviest passenger flow and the most complex lines. Brave believers, take the newly developed vaporized virus and unleash it from here! Let the souls of all the sinners in Tokyo be purified!"

Asahara Shoko seemed extremely excited, dancing and gesticulating like a madman. His cold eyes swept over everyone present: "Remember, this is my sect's top secret. Anyone who dares to leak it will be killed."

"That's it, let's go and select the warriors! The planned time is also set at 09:09. This way, we can intimidate Kira who is hiding in the dark!"

……

……

Ji Ye, who had not slept all night, sat in the office of the Public Security Manor with red eyes.

She rubbed her head irritably. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Light Yagami was most likely Kira. She couldn't accept such a possibility. The search and cleanup were complete. The other thirteen survivors had been largely ruled out as suspects.

Neither his social network nor his browsing history on his phone or computer showed anything suspicious, even for the most eccentric male internet celebrity. Currently, the only person left was Light Yagami, who lay unconscious in a hospital ward.

Light Yagami has not woken up, and Kira has not committed any more crimes until nine o'clock.

"Kira, hurry up and kill whoever the criminal is, just do it!"

Ji Ye shouted in his heart.

Humans are such contradictory creatures. Before the deduction that Kira was Light Yagami came out, Himeno was eager to stop every murder Kira committed. But when this deduction came out, she instead hoped that Kira would kill people quickly.

Kira still killed people while Light Yagami was completely unconscious. This way, he could eliminate suspicion to a large extent, and in this way, Ji Ye's almost collapsed heart could be relieved.

Surveillance of the five tainted families continues, but nothing suspicious has been found so far, not even in the highly-watched Yukinoshita family. The eldest daughter goes to work, and the youngest attends school as usual. Everything is proceeding normally.

"Ms. Makima has worked so hard, Brother Ye Shen, you must not let Miss Makima down!"

The moon is cold and the sun is warm, which can burn people's lifespan.

The earth described is exactly what Ji Ye is feeling right now. So is Miss Makima. She was left outside the official residence for the entire night and was only just called into the office to give a work report.

Always remember, there will be reverberations.

Just as Himeno stood up in disappointment and was about to lead the Tokyo police to conduct a surprise inspection of a secret base of the Shinrikyo.

Her cell phone rang.

Almost immediately, Ji Ye answered the phone: "What's going on? Did Kira commit another crime?"

"..."

The person on the other end of the line was obviously startled by Himeno's hurried tone. He was silent for a full two seconds before continuing, "Yes, Mr. Himeno. Please check the NHK channel. We are on our way there!"

"NHK Channel!?"

Ji Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at the clock on his desk. Could this be a repeat of yesterday's incident?

Ji Ye hurriedly opened the live broadcast room and saw a bearded man roaring madly. Ji Ye recognized him; it was the leader of the Truth Church, Asahara Shoko.

His condition at this moment was similar to Hayakawa Kiyo's yesterday, with white smoke rising from his body, a precursor to self-immolation.

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know. They announced a press conference early this morning, saying they had something important to announce."

Below Asahara Shoko, gathered what could be said to be the purest crystallization of the entire Truth Church believers. Except for letting them die directly, anything could be done under Asahara Shoko's orders.

"Kira is real--!!!" A red halo appeared in the depths of Asahara Shoko's eyes, and under the horrified gaze of the core power structure of the Truth Church, he delivered the opening remarks of the drama.

"…planned and launched the assassination of the Metropolitan Police Department's Chief Superintendent and carried out the shooting plan!"

"Planned and launched the Tokyo Subway Apocalypse Virus Leak! The goal is to release the virus on a total of four lines: the Chiyoda Line, Marunouchi Line, and Hibiya Line..."

"The time is now!"

What is he talking about?!
