Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

The map quickly revealed the apartment's shape. Although it was built near a shantytown, its shape was indeed a bit exaggerated. It was almost like a spiral, showing perfect symmetry.

Looking at this building——

There was something wrong everywhere, yet there seemed to be an inexplicable rationality to it.

Light Yagami immediately informed Ryougi Shiki of this discovery, believing it was likely a case within a case. As for Yukinoshita Yukino, they would discuss it when they met tomorrow.

After thinking for a moment, Light Yagami found Officer Hayakawa's address through the Metropolitan Police Department's files. He followed the network cable and discovered that the other party's computer was actually turned on.

"Judging from Kira's behavior when he killed Kurosawa Kusakata, Officer Hayakawa seems to be trying to contact Kira. Why not take this opportunity to test him?"

With this mentality, Light Yagami was about to press Enter.

His fingers paused at the last moment, tapping away all traces of himself. He thought of what he had said to himself on the shore: Never think you're smart. Don't rely on luck, don't try.

What if Hayakawa Aki's abnormal behavior is just a trap set by the Anti-Magic Public Security Bureau against Kira? In fact, they have already set traps in all of Hayakawa Aki's communication channels, just waiting for Kira to jump into them?

Yes.

Don't take chances, don't try!

"After I knew that Yukinoshita Yukino was Kira, I got a little carried away."

If this was a trap, as an accomplice, he would probably be imprisoned at most... No, he might be caught and tortured and lose his memory again, and eventually become Yukinoshita's scapegoat and be killed.

That was secondary. If he hadn't lost his memory in the end, and the police had followed him to find Yukinoshita...

The Death Note is a force of evil, but the world cannot exist without it. Having the Sword of Damocles and not using it is one thing compared to not having it. The only thing that can defeat evil is a deeper evil.

"If I ask Ryougi to contact Anti-Magic Section 4... I wonder if the source of the information will be questioned."

"Let's investigate this matter secretly first."

……

……

"Are you saying that the mastermind has been found?"

"uncertain."

In the afternoon, in the God's Aide Club's activity room, young men and women sat at opposite ends of a long table. Yukinoshita Yukino sat beside them, listening intently to Light Yagami's report.

"Beside Onoe Nami, a strange person appeared who I am very concerned about."

"That guy...also appeared next to another client. Even more coincidental, there's no relevant information about him in the Metropolitan Police Department's internal database."

"In other words, there is a possibility that he is an illegal resident."

Yukinoshita Yukino took the phone handed to her by Light Yagami and looked at the man with a gloomy expression captured by the standard-definition surveillance camera on the screen.

Yukinoshita Yukino was secretly shocked.

She didn't have much hope at first, and she ordered the investigation to find out how many secrets Light Yagami had hidden. She didn't expect that Light Yagami would find out so much information in just one night.

It's really... scary.

Although she believed she had already thrown herself into the arms of the evil camp, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but mourn for the good police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Anti-Magic Public Security. It would be very distressing to stand on the opposite side of someone like Light Yagami.

"What about the eight suicides before? No relevant information found?"

"Because it happened so long ago, and the nearby cameras are in disrepair, they didn't capture any useful footage." Yagami Light sighed and continued, "Also, I must remind you, Yukinoshita-san, what exactly do you want?"

"After I conduct a thorough investigation and confirm that the guy on the screen is the murderer of this series of suicides, will you punish him? Or will you submit all the clues to the Metropolitan Police Department or the Taima Public Security Bureau and let them deal with this dangerous superpowered criminal?"

Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino remained silent, Light Yagami thought that she was too naive and had not thought about this issue seriously.

He continued to explain, "If it's the latter, you might not be thanked by the official police, but instead be targeted by them. Regardless, the fact that you, a high school student, got involved in this sort of thing is already suspicious enough."

"Even if we're doing this in the name of the Yukinoshita family, it's still the same. Getting involved in this kind of thing carries with it unpredictable risks."

"What if, after reaching a definitive conclusion, I proceed directly to execute the person?"

Yukino hugged her barren chest, and there was no extra emotion on her delicate face. She responded naturally.

"That... is naturally the best. However, if we do that, this trial seems to lose its original meaning. The prisoner will die unconscious, and the outside world will never know his crimes... If we manipulate him into confessing his crimes to the police and dying, we can't rule out the possibility that the Anti-Demon Police will eventually come to visit."

"In short, it comes with huge risks. A police officer once told me not to take chances or try it."

"And, all of this is based on knowing his real name. If your ability, Yukinoshita, can only be activated when you know his real name."

"He's like a black ghost wandering around Tokyo, just like the outside world's speculation about Kira, the only difference is that only we know this guy is the mastermind behind it."

Light Yagami sighed. For some unknown reason, he still advised, "Honestly, Yukinoshita... stop it."

"I don't know what kind of experiences and what kind of stimulation you, a young lady from a happy family, have gone through to fall into the state you are in today."

"But no matter what, you've already done enough. There's no need to take this kind of risk. Even if it's just to satisfy your sense of justice, you can target the criminals you've already identified."

"I've always believed that using superpowers to hunt down superpowered individuals with a mortal body is taboo."

"It's a taboo, and it will bring unimaginable disaster. If the other party's ability is to sense those who have bad intentions towards us and bring disaster upon them, we will both die without a burial place."

Light Yagami's earnest exhortations did not change Yukinoshita Yukino's mind. On the contrary, she looked at Light Yagami with amusement in her eyes.

She didn't refute or agree, but simply said to herself, "If this power could be used to make the criminal confess his crime at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department without killing him, then a world where no one would be hurt would be achieved~"

"But since this is the power given to me by God, I can only use this power to kill people instead of handing them over to the law. This already shows that this is God's will, Kira's will."

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her hand to stop Light Yagami from continuing. Her heart was as hard as iron now, and there was no way she would be moved by Light Yagami's persuasion.

She said coldly, "Also, it's not impossible to pass on information to the Metropolitan Police Department and the Taima Public Security Bureau~"

"All we need to do is get the Taima Public Security Bureau's personnel moving, have them investigate the criminal hiding in Ogawa's apartment, and finally get the results~"

Yukinoshita Yukino pressed the remote control and the TV screen lit up.

"Let's see who is suitable to play the role of 'Messenger'?"

Light Yagami was stunned and his expression became complicated. He understood the implication of Yukinoshita Yukino's words.

Since he chose to report the incident to the Metropolitan Police Department and the Taima Public Security Bureau himself, and since investigating the culprit in Ogawa's apartment himself was also risky... then, having a dead person do it wouldn't be a problem. At most, it would only cause people to question Kira's motives.

"Isn't this a bit too extreme..."

Light Yagami was silent and speechless.

Watching the TV channels flickering, although the Metropolitan Police Department is trying its best to block news about the criminals, some major criminal cases are impossible to cover up. Even if the TV station is willing to block the reports, the Internet will not allow it.

There will always be bad incidents reported.

This was exactly what Yukinoshita Yukino wanted. She planned to manipulate those damned people to leave messages to the Metropolitan Police Department and the Anti-Magic Public Security Bureau, so that they would search Ogawa's apartment. Using the lives of the criminals to complete the dialogue with the authorities...

Looking at the profile of Yukinoshita Yukino, it is cold, mysterious, evil, and chilling.

Light Yagami sighed and could only fulfill his duty as an accomplice, walking with Yukinoshita all the way until darkness.

Although everything is still in the speculation stage, if the mysterious man hiding in Ogawa's apartment is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then he really shouldn't be alive in this world and must be killed as quickly as possible.

[Shocking! A very evil juvenile delinquent has appeared in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto! ]

This is the first extremely serious case involving a minor in the 21st century in my country. It may promote judicial progress. Please stay tuned for further updates.

[The Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters dispatched a specialist to guide the investigation! ]

[Kyoto police report on the junior high school student murder case: The three most vicious juvenile offenders have all been arrested! ]

Kyoto police respond to details of the juvenile offender case: The suspect premeditated the crime! He selected the burial site and dug a pit the day before, then placed the victim there the next day and began digging a second pit to bury the body.

[Psychological experts evaluated and analyzed juvenile offenders and found that they had no empathy, which is professionally called "zero empathy"]

[Principal: It is unexpected that a suspect with good academic performance would commit such a horrific crime. I urge the police and prosecutors to severely punish him!]

[Lawyer: This case is the first major criminal case since the age of application of the Juvenile Law was lowered under the influence of Kira. The three extremely serious juvenile offenders are all under the age of 14, so it may be difficult to punish them. Please do not have too high expectations...]

[Expert: This is a vicious case that shocked the entire Japanese Ocean. Even a criminal as extreme as Kira would not resort to the method of "burying alive" in the 21st century. This act is so evil that it is unimaginable!]

A series of eye-catching reports came into view. These were cases that occurred in Kyoto Prefecture a few days ago.

Three juvenile delinquents under the age of fourteen conspired to kill a student who had been bullied by them for a long time, and buried the body twice in a wasteland twelve kilometers away from the victim's home.

Anyone who's ever committed murder knows that it's easier to kill than to dispose of the body. This isn't a joke; the actions of these three juvenile offenders clearly demonstrate their true meaning. Even at their tender age, they've learned to bury the body to avoid detection.

If it weren't for the recent intimidation and threats that Kira had inflicted on all police officers, I'm afraid such a horrific burial case would have been covered up by them.

The autopsy showed that the victim had inhaled a large amount of soil into his lungs. This autopsy showed that when he was first buried in the wasteland, he still retained some consciousness, in layman's terms, he was not completely dead.

If the three juvenile offenders had still had a conscience and decided to call an ambulance during this period, the victim might have been saved. However, no miracle happened, and the offenders still chose to bury the victim alive.

The final fatal cause of death was inhaling too much mud and being unable to breathe... In the deep underground, enduring the double pain of body and mind, unable to see the light or hear the sound, he suffocated to death.

Just reading these text reports makes one feel a despair deep in the bones.

Why have humans become so bad?

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the cold text with icy eyes, unable to utter a word. Perhaps before this, she still felt sorry for Light Yagami's execution of those who wrote the criminal plan, but after seeing this news...

"It's still too gentle."

Minors are easily influenced by others, such as imitating others or being influenced by their suggestions, to commit crimes. The characteristics of juvenile crime in recent years are precisely the younger age of perpetrators, the gang-like nature of the crimes, the brutality of the methods used, and the adult-like behavior of the offenders. These criminals are more like demons than adult criminals.

There is only one infinite demon, but even if you don't magnify the evil in your heart, such magical things will still happen.

"In this situation, Mr. Yagami, do you think they deserve to die?" Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly asked.

What is the problem?

Yagami Light's breathing hitched, and his heart grew heavier. No matter how he looked at it, these young scumbags had no chance of living in this world.

But is there a precedent?

Even though the current juvenile law has been lowered, it is obviously impossible to punish several minors under the age of fourteen based on the current juvenile law.

"They have been born into this world for fourteen years, yet have created no positive value. They have already transformed into demons and begun to take the lives of others."

"What on earth is the purpose of such a person being born into this world?"

Light Yagami fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Light Yagami didn't say anything, Yukinoshita Yukino thought he was still soft-hearted and continued her mental attack: "How about it, Lord Yagami, do you want to give them a chance to start over and redeem themselves?"

"If I hadn't killed them, they might have only been sentenced to one or two years, or perhaps received a few months of psychological counseling, and then they could have changed their names and started a new life."

"How……"

"Don't go provoking me, Yukinoshita-san." Light Yagami interrupted, "I'm not as noble and saintly as you think. I've always believed that juvenile law is used to protect adults from abusing minors. I've never believed that juvenile law is used to protect those whose minds have long since turned into demons, but who are deemed by the law to be mentally immature minors..."

"For a bill like the Juvenile Law, objective materialism is meaningless. Subjective idealism like Kira's is more convincing."

"So, kill them."

After receiving Light Yagami's answer, Yukino's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that she had overthought. Light Yagami was still the same Light Yagami. Although she had not yet evolved to the point of killing people with her own hands, the fact that he tacitly allowed her to kill people was already the first step.

Soon, Light Yagami will walk the same path that Yukinoshita Yukino has walked~

"Just consider it a request from you, Yagami-san." Yukino paused, pointed at the screen and said, "But killing them won't be that easy. At the very least, we have to remove the mosaics on their faces and find out their real names."

"This shouldn't be a difficult thing for Yagami-san~"

"understood."

Light Yagami snapped his fingers indifferently, pulled out his phone, and using the remote control backdoor he'd left on his home computer, successfully hacked into the Metropolitan Police Department's database once again. Because of the Kyoto case, it took a bit more effort, but he still managed to get the information on the three juvenile offenders.

Look at how they pose in the photo.

One of them had his hands behind his waist, one had his fingers interlocked in front of his abdomen, and one had his palm half-bent and placed on his thigh, with his lips pursed. His expression made people feel that they were holding back a smile... At least in Light Yagami's opinion, they did not feel the slightest remorse for the evil they had committed.

Also, the placement of these hands doesn't seem like the reaction a person would have in an extremely nervous situation.

"They couldn't possibly be unaware of the juvenile law... They committed the crime knowing it, confident they wouldn't be punished."

"We're both teenagers. Juvenile law can only protect the living, but not the dead..."

Light Yagami handed the information to Yukinoshita Yukino, then stepped aside: "All the information you want is here. Go ahead, Yukinoshita."

Yukinoshita Yukino randomly picked up the pen, and without any hesitation, the tip of the pen slowly fell on the Death Note and began her execution of justice.

However, this time it was slightly different. Before executing them with the most extreme means, he had to pass information to the Kyoto Prefectural Police through the mouths of these three young demons, and then use the channels of the Prefectural Police to pass on the matter of Ogawa Apartment to the Anti-Magic Public Security Bureau and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Come on~ I'll borrow your death..."

"The only purpose of your existence in this world is to serve as consumables for conveying information, mobilizing the Anti-Magic Public Security and the Metropolitan Police Department, and as fuel for the violent machine to deal with the dark forces hidden behind the scenes."

Light Yagami thought.
