Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

The moment the TV turned on, Yukinoshita Yukino could clearly feel her heartbeat accelerating, as if she was walking on a suspension bridge. She was about to do something very important with Light Yagami.

First, her mother and sister were secretly carrying out some unknown actions without her knowledge. Then, she began to have different feelings about watching TV with Light Yagami...

The boy and the girl fell into their own thoughts.

The TV host's solemn voice began the announcement: "According to a Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson, the Director of Warning, who was stabbed at 09:09 yesterday morning, is no longer in danger of death and has been transferred to a special ward. The Metropolitan Police Department has established a special investigation team regarding Kira, who manipulated the victim into giving suicidal speeches in front of media cameras for two consecutive days."

Now, let's hand the microphone over to the Metropolitan Police Department's criminal investigation expert to comment on Kira, who indirectly prevented the [Metropolitan Police Department Director Shooting Incident] and the [Apocalypse Virus Leak Case].

Upon hearing this, Light Yagami put the cleaning tools aside.

He stood up straight, placed one hand across his chest and pinched his chin with the other, listening to the broadcast on TV to see if there was any useful information.

"Previously, only the Anti-Magic Public Security Bureau announced an investigation into Kira, but now even the Metropolitan Police Department has set up a special investigation team, showing increasing attention."

"If I were Kira."

Just as Light Yagami was about to start putting himself into the role of Kira and guessing his next move, the scene on the TV screen changed.

In front of the camera.

Under the Japanese flag and the yellow cherry blossom flag, the Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson sat upright before a pile of cameras, looking solemnly into the camera. Dozens of uniformed police officers flanked him.

It must be said that regardless of the final result, this grand ceremony probably shows how much the official authorities value Kira.

"...Kira is most likely killing out of a sense of justice. He might even have ambitions to become a god. I have to say that's a very depraved mentality."

"Please abandon the stereotypes that the criminal couldn't be a student, a woman, or an elderly person. Explore all possibilities. Kira is attempting to become a spiritual symbol. Our police experts speculate that Kira may be terminally ill. He desires a different kind of eternal life, the eternal life of death..."

"Now we will begin the question-and-answer session."

One of the reporters couldn't wait to ask, "I absolutely don't mean to confirm Kira, but in recent days, the discussion about Kira has been exploding around the world, especially in Japan."

"Do you think that under these circumstances, in the foreseeable future, will there be a downward trend in the incidence of robbery and other serious crimes in Japan?"

"And with Kira's help, they successfully prevented the [Apocalypse Virus Leakage Incident], a case that would have endangered the entire society if it had succeeded. Are there any plans within the police to commend them?"

"Well, normally, this is probably a natural phenomenon. However, even with such a positive impact, it can't cover up the fact that Kira is a criminal. The Metropolitan Police Department will never commend a criminal! The law is sacred and inviolable. Anyone who breaks the law, regardless of their motives, must be brought to justice!"

"However, considering that the people Kira killed have already violated the law, the final trial result should be lenient. Here, Kira, if you are watching on TV, as the spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department, I urge you to surrender yourself and stop falling deeper into the path of crime!"

'wrong. '

"If Kira really turned himself in, given Kishibe's attitude towards me, I'm afraid he would die in the detention center the next day. This is just a trick by the police to satisfy Kira's vanity."

He looked at Yukinoshita, who was sitting at the other end of the table, with some curiosity, and was about to ask her what she thought. Unexpectedly, it was Yukinoshita who spoke first: "Yagami-san, do you think Kira's actions are just?"

"Justice? No, it's definitely not justice." Light Yagami said firmly: "Perhaps what Kira did was right, but it is definitely not justice..."

"There are obviously many ways to change the current situation in Japan, but Kira chose to use such an extreme method." Yagami Light paused and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with a serious look: "Yukinoshita-san, you don't agree with Kira's approach, do you?"

Yukinoshita was flustered by the question. She couldn't tell Light Yagami that her family was likely connected to Kira, and she couldn't betray them. Because she loved her family so deeply, Yukinoshita had to force herself to accept Kira's point of view.

Although she used to make false statements and gaffes, she never lied. But now, for the sake of her family, Yukinoshita Yukino has no choice but to lie.

Her eyes dodged, avoiding Light Yagami's gaze, and she vaguely denied Light Yagami's question.

"Yukinoshita, I have an idea about Kira~"

"what?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned. From the report just now which contained very little information, did Light Yagami deduce anything?

Light Yagami said in a half-joking tone: "That is, Kira's academic performance may not be ideal."

"..." The novel angle really aroused Yukinoshita's curiosity: "How did you come to this conclusion?"

"Kira might have killed out of a sense of justice, but I'm more inclined to believe there's another reason. He sees no hope of changing the dire situation in Japan from the top down, so he can only trample on the law from the bottom up."

Light Yagami confidently analyzed, "I've always believed that a person wouldn't go to extremes unless they were desperate and had no hope. If Kira had been born into a wealthy family, he could have used his family's influence to change official policies. But Kira chose to stop evil by killing, so that's not the case."

"Secondly, if Kira's academic performance is top-notch, he could try to get into the University of Tokyo or Waseda University and attempt to become a politician, initiating top-down reforms rather than bottom-up revolutions. Even if he gets into these two universities and graduates with the best grades, he still needs to accumulate experience before he can move up to the upper class. Even if he reaches the upper class, it doesn't necessarily mean he can change Japanese society, but it's still a hope, and Kira won't go to extremes."

"Of course, the above inferences are based on the analysis that Kira is a normal person. If Kira was born with injuries caused by criminals, or is an inherently evil being, then the above inferences are not valid."

While Japan's social classes are rigid, there are ways to transcend them. Learning can indeed change one's destiny. Simply gaining admission to the University of Tokyo or Waseda University is like having one foot halfway across the social ladder. Graduating successfully from either university, or acquiring the connections there, means one has fully transitioned to a higher class.

Japan today has not yet reached the stage in later generations where "hard work may not necessarily be rewarded."

Taking the police system that Light Yagami is most familiar with as an example, the police are divided into professional groups and non-professional groups.

The non-professional team starts from the lowest rank of Patrol Sergeant, ninth rank of the police, while the starting point of the professional team, Inspector, is the end point of many non-professional team's life.

Once you become a professional officer, you don't have to do anything but work your way up through the ranks, doing routine patrols and picking up quick, easy, and economical cases in Beika Town. By the time you're nearing retirement, your rank will be at least a junior officer. With a bit more luck, solving any of the "major criminal cases," "wide-area designated incidents," or "Taimon Public Security and Metropolitan Police Department joint major cases" will inevitably lead you to a high position in the police force.

There are approximately 300,000 police officers in Japan, and of those, only around 500 have passed the professional exam. Each year, the number of people who pass the professional exam barely breaks into the single digits, and in some years, only a single digit can pass, even against the backdrop of Japan's exorbitant crime rate.

Of these few pitiful people who are admitted every year, 70% are divided up by the University of Tokyo Law School, the remaining 30% is divided equally between Kyoto University and Waseda University, and the remaining pitiful little is divided up by other universities in Japan.

Even though there is discrimination among the various departments at the University of Tokyo, and many people outside the university promote the idea that studying is useless, it is undeniable that getting into the University of Tokyo means standing at the top of the contempt chain.

Yukinoshita Yukino followed Light Yagami's line of thought and thought about it, realizing that this was indeed a possibility. If Kira's grades were that good, he wouldn't have resorted to the extreme of killing to stop evil.

but……

Yukinoshita Yukino complained, "Even so, the number of people who can be excluded is definitely limited. There are only a few people who can pass the professional group exam every year, and how many people from Japan can take the professional group exam?"

"Well... that's for sure. There's a limit to who can be ruled out. Even if we start from the current eligible people and work backwards to the past references, we can't rule out many people. But there is one thing that can at least narrow down the possibility that I am Kira."

Light Yagami's thoughts were clear and his sentences were fluent. It was unclear whether he was talking to Yukinoshita Yukino or to Anbian who was guarding the monitoring device.

"I'm one of the best students in Japan. Even for something as rare as getting into the professional team, I can pass it with just a little effort. Plus, my family background almost completely eliminates the possibility that I'm Kira."

"Well, and you, Yukinoshita. You're currently staying out of this, but with your family background and current achievements, if you work hard, you could join the police force as a professional... No, your personality might not suit you to be a police officer. As a graduate of Tokyo University Law School or Waseda University Law School, you could become a prosecutor or a lawyer, and you could change this country bit by bit through your own efforts. There's no need to identify with a criminal."

"For students like us, what we should do is to work hard to reach a position where we can change society, and then gradually pry open society and continuously squeeze Kira's living space."

"Never overestimate a person's bottom line. Once it's touched, it will continue to fall. This is true even for you, Yukinoshita."

"Otherwise, even if we arrest the current Kira, there will be a second Kira and a third Kira in the future..."

"That's it..."

Measuring a person's worth by test scores and rankings is foolish. Even with excellent grades, some people still have flaws in their character. For this reason, Yukinoshita Yukino focused more on cultivating moral character and addressing the weaknesses of others at school, and didn't really focus on lighting up her talent tree for learning.

At Sobu High School, he was second in grade, a top-tier student. But looking at the entirety of Japan, he was probably just an average first-rate student.

There are also gaps between geniuses.

But after hearing what Light Yagami said, it seemed she had to take this path. She had to get into the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo and change this wrong world.

Simply striving to eliminate the enemy doesn't improve oneself, so it won't solve the problem. Arresting Kira is only a temporary solution; improving oneself is the fundamental solution.

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes moved slightly, and her soul resonated with Light Yagami on this point.

Perhaps, this is the power of a confidant.

But there was one thing Light Yagami didn't know. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't fully empathize with Yukinoshita Yukino's current state of mind. She wasn't simply standing aside, but was already... involved.

She was almost certain that her mother and Kira were secretly connected. This situation was like courting disaster. What could she do? Her family's lives were in constant danger. If she wanted to reach a position that could change Japan, she needed time to settle down.

She has no time left.

She could only pray that her sister and mother would not be too deeply involved in the Kira incident, so that there was still a chance to salvage everything. This was the last ray of light in her heart.

Her face was pale, but she still said to Light Yagami sincerely: "Thank you, Yagami."

Wearing headphones on the shore, he quietly listened to the conversation between Light Yagami and Yukinoshita Yukino.

Even someone like him who reviews with a purpose and from a harsh perspective has to admit that what Light Yagami said is correct and it is indeed a very novel perspective.

At this moment, Kishibe was sitting inside the Chiba Police Station, responsible for sorting out the mess left by Makima. He was selecting useful people to join the new Anti-Demon Section 4 he led to continue the investigation of Kira.

At this moment, he waved to the old man from the Kyoto group beside him and told him Light Yagami's deduction. He asked him to contact those who had passed the professional group exams over the years. These people had relatively clean identities and could almost completely rule out the suspicion of being Kira.

"If only I were a little older, I could become a police officer now." Yagami Light's tone sounded a little regretful, and he said to himself: "From the current perspective, the police, including the public security, are completely wrong in their investigation direction. They are blindly investigating survivors related to the Truth Cult..."

"If I were a police officer, I would check Kira's information channels first."

Huh? Anbian squinted his eyes, quieting the busy crowd around him.

"Put yourself in Kira's shoes. If you want to avoid missing out on a single execution, if you're not a member of the police force, then there must be someone connected to them, a mole. Once you identify this mole, you can follow the clues and catch Kira."

"Another point. From what I can see right now, Kira doesn't want to harm the police, so he needs to avoid them. If I were Kira, I would send as many people as possible to infiltrate the investigation team, keep abreast of the police and public security investigation progress, and avoid the risk of being exposed myself."

"From this perspective, we can categorize and add different criminal lists to the database accessible to people with different levels of authority within the police. Because according to the police reports, Kira should be using the internal police database to identify targets for execution."

"Judging from the fact that Kira murdered a member of the Shinrikyo cult, Kira was either a police insider with evidence of the Shinrikyo cult's crimes. Or, he was a victim whose family had been persecuted by the Shinrikyo cult and was out for revenge. In any case, it's unlikely that he was just following the words of a Shinrikyo cult member and engaging in 'victim blaming'."

"If we execute people according to the list in the file, we can gradually narrow down the scope of Kira until we lock on to one person."

"Of course, given Kira's cunning, this method might not be effective. Most of the time, the execution list is determined based on news reports. This is the safest way."

"But if the authority is even greater, a gag order could be imposed on the media, prohibiting them from reporting any cases related to the criminals. Or perhaps the judicial documents website could be blocked. While this might embolden the criminals in the short term, it would also force Kira to retrieve the execution list from the police's insider database..."

"If this isn't possible, there are many other ways to extend this. Report the criminal's news at different times. Once Kira makes a move, we can use this to determine the area where Kira is located."

Shore listened silently, and stopped flipping through the personnel files.

My eyes locked onto Hayakawa Aki's file, examining it with mild interest. This guy actually pulled out a gun and threatened the now-deceased deputy police chief during an operation against the Shinrikyo cult... How interesting.

Anbian waved his hand and handed over the file in his hand, classifying Hayakawa Aki as a useful person in his mind.

In the activity room of the God's Waiting Department.

Light Yagami searched for entries related to Kira, and the [Savior] website encountered a massive amount of visits driven by people's curiosity. It has now completely collapsed, but many new websites and bloggers who want to take advantage of Kira's popularity have emerged.

Sharp-eyed Light Yagami spotted a fellow survivor, an internet celebrity, who was now solemnly recounting his connection to Kira on his channel. Seeing this playful and mysterious act, the comment section suddenly became flooded with complaints.

I hope that their messages here will be discovered by Kira hiding behind the Internet, and then divine punishment will be sent down to save them from their suffering.

Light Yagami's tone was somewhat emotional as he spoke to Yukinoshita, who looked very stiff beside him, "But now it seems that the road we have to go is quite long. Even if the night is long and dark, someone has to sacrifice his life to light the lamp."

"I guess these bloggers who use the name Kira may not live long."

"Why do you say that?"

Yukinoshita's heart tightened. Every word Light Yagami said about Kira stirred up a wave of unease in her. Everything Kira did could be connected to her family, and that only exacerbated her guilt.

"Their desire to become internet celebrities stems from a desire to make money. But using Kira's name is nothing more than a way to capitalize on people's desire for Kira to save them, and then turn that fantasy into money for themselves."

"It would be fine if they just transformed themselves, but if they really put themselves into the character set by Kira, I'm afraid they will be dead soon."

Volume 1: 85 Sisters Confrontation

Another week passed.

The shore maintained a high-intensity surveillance of Light Yagami, but found nothing. Among them, the monitoring device was destroyed by Makima the moment Light Yagami returned home on the first day.

As a replacement, Kishibe installed a bunch of pinhole cameras inside Sobu High School, ensuring almost no blind spots except in the toilets. All of this was done without Light Yagami's knowledge.

But even so, under the eyes of the people on the shore, even when he was alone and most likely to expose problems, Light Yagami was still flawless and no one could find any flaws in him.

He was a perfect high school student, a well-rounded person with all the qualities of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor, inheriting the legacy of Soichiro-sama. All the beautiful fantasies people had about Japanese high school students were embodied in Light Yagami. Even with the enemy-like gaze on the shore, even Light Yagami had to admit that he was the best high school student in Japan.

If even these are pretended...it would be too scary and too artificial.

Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of suspicion, Anbian was unwilling to give up. But now it was almost time to give up the fantasy.

While Light Yagami was cleared of suspicion, Kira's killing continued.

The bait spread within the police's internal authority was completely ineffective. Under the authoritarian orders of the Anti-Demon Section 4, there were fewer news reports about criminals, and the judicial documents webpage was closed... But with the Internet being highly developed, there were still news reports like murders in the streets being uploaded to the Internet, and these news reports could not be blocked.

The fastest time was when Kira had killed someone before the police even arrived.

"What else can we do?"

It cannot be completely blocked, and Kira's existence is like a ghost wandering in this world.

"We can lower the level of surveillance on Light Yagami. Of the five tainted families, the last one left is the Yukinoshita family. Bring Yukinoshita Hisako and Yukinoshita Haruno to us for a final review in the next few days."

"Doesn't the Yukinoshita family have a little daughter?"

"Based on the surveillance footage and eavesdropping devices at Sobu High School, she's just an ordinary female student. The Yukinoshita family is keeping her a secret, so there's no need to pay attention to her. Of course, for safety's sake, there's no problem with conducting any necessary interrogations."

……

……

After dinner, Light Yagami sat on the sofa, constantly swiping his phone and looking at the screen with a gloomy expression.

The content on the webpage was a collection of popular cases from other self-created Kira websites created after the indefinite collapse of the "Savior" website. The verdict on this case had just been announced a few days ago. The comment section below had already seen dozens, perhaps hundreds, of petitions pleading for Kira to kill the individuals involved.

The case involved a minor and was decided after Kira became famous.
