Most of the evils in this world have indeed been eliminated, but…

Yagami Light raised his head, staring intently at the Yagami Light on the screen, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen, directly into the other's heart.

“Committing the sin of arrogance, without any bottom line, using so-called ‘justice’ as an excuse, even using family members connected by blood as tools, ‘Kira’… You are not some so-called god at all, just a vile existence more hideous and disgusting than those evil spirits… You will surely be punished.”

Meanwhile, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yozora, who were searching for a place to rest on the street, also saw this so-called memorial, which was actually a hypocritical television program for this world's Yagami Light to take the opportunity to boost his influence.

“This world's Yagami-kun is actually this kind of person…”

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the hypocritical face on the screen, feigning grief, and her eyes also revealed undisguised disgust.

Although most of the members of the ESP Society did not approve of Yagami Light's overly radical actions as “Kira,” they were all very clear in their hearts that people are different, and Yagami Light's strong sense of justice, which could be called obsession, was not without reason. As long as he could stick to his bottom line and only punish those who committed unforgivable crimes, there was nothing to say.

But this world's Yagami Light is completely different.

Yukinoshita Yukino was not clear about the specific process and details of the explosion case seven years ago, but for those in the know who knew that Yagami Light was “Kira,” no one would think it was a simple coincidence.

In this world, Yagami Soichiro, Yagami Sayu, and Yagami Sachiko, the family of Yagami Light, except for Yagami Light himself, all died in a shocking explosion created by a criminal who escaped criminal charges and soon escaped from a mental rehabilitation institution.

If he wasn't a psychic, how could he have created such a large-scale explosion without being discovered by the Metropolitan Police Department in advance?

If he was a psychic, why wasn't it discovered during the arrest? Could it be that the criminal didn't use his psychic abilities to resist?

The only reasonable explanation Yukinoshita Yukino could think of was one that also filled her with strong disgust.

From beginning to end, this was a show directed and acted out by this world's Yagami Light.

As for the purpose?

Perhaps it was to pave the way for “Yagami Light's” future. After all, the story of the orphaned child of a heroic Metropolitan Police Department group leader, who was admitted to Todai with excellent grades and eventually became a member of the National Diet, coupled with his seamless acting skills and disguised personal charm, was a must-have skill for politicians.

Perhaps it was to create a tragedy that no one could ignore, using this extreme method to declare his justice as “Kira”… No, it was correctness.

Or perhaps, both purposes were present.

Even his father, mother, and sister could be sacrificed. Who could know how many shocking and cruel crimes this world's Yagami Light had committed along the way?

This new world was built on the framework of “Kira's” extreme ideology, at the cost of the lives of countless ordinary people…

An arrogant “palace.”

“Alright, it doesn't matter what kind of person he is.”

Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the pedestrians on the street was attracted by Yagami Light, who was giving a speech on the screen, Yozora took the opportunity to pull Yukinoshita Yukino away, and said casually.

“He is our enemy. Knowing this is enough. As for what kind of person he is, what kind of obsession or ideal he holds, it doesn't matter.”

“Dead people have no ideals or goals.”

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly, and then heard the hostess's voice coming from the screen with a smile.

“Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, please be sure to watch Tokyo Sakura Television. At that time, Diet member Yagami will personally come to the scene to discuss his ideas on the upcoming legal reform, as well as his personal views and opinions on ‘Kira.’ Thank you for watching today, goodbye.”

“Did you hear that?”

Hearing that this world's Yagami Light will participate in a live television interview during prime time at nine o'clock tomorrow night as a member of the National Diet, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyebrows twitched a few times, and she couldn't help but speak out.

“I've found his weakness.”

“Only now? You're useless, Mushi-no-kun.”

Yozora smiled and patted Yukinoshita Yukino's head, then said softly.

“The original sin that guy represents is ‘arrogance,’ and this ‘arrogance’ will become the reason for his inevitable failure.”

“Because of ‘arrogance,’ he wants to become the god of the new world, but the world only knows ‘Kira,’ and doesn't know him, Yagami Light. In this world, which has now been cleared, where almost everyone worships ‘Kira’ as a god, what do you think his greatest feeling is?”

Hearing the question raised by Yozora, Yukinoshita Yukino thought seriously for a while before answering.

“The satisfaction brought by a sense of accomplishment?”

“No.”

Yozora shook his head and slowly said a word.

“Boredom.”

“No matter how many difficulties he encountered, or how many heinous crimes he committed, to complete this masterpiece, which is, in his eyes, the so-called perfect new world, at the moment it is truly completed, for an arrogant person like him, all that can be felt is complete emptiness and boredom.”

“Yagami Light is very smart, so smart that he can realize that ‘Kira’ can only ever be a symbol. When ‘Kira’ becomes a specific person in the eyes of the public, ‘Kira’ will also lose his divinity.”

“Similarly, he is also very arrogant, so arrogant that he cannot accept that this masterpiece he created can only be attributed to the name ‘Kira,’ even if he is ‘Kira.’”

“Because of this, this world's Yagami Light will use this method to enjoy another kind of worship from the world.”

“This arrogance is his greatest weakness.”

After listening to Yozora's words, Yukinoshita Yukino first nodded in agreement, then sighed helplessly, supporting her forehead.

“You… you’re always slacking off normally, and haven’t been thinking seriously, have you?”

Yozora replied confidently.

“With you, Rio, and Christina, so many people are thinking, what is there for me to think about?”

Yukinoshita Yukino looked speechless.

“I’m shocked that a personality like yours hasn’t devolved into a paramecium…”

Several hours later, in a luxurious duplex apartment in Tokyo.

“You're really amazing…”

Watching Yozora use only a piece of wire to crack open the high-end anti-theft door in front of her, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but praise.

She could naturally feel that the other party had not used the ability of soul materialization at all. This exquisite high-level lock-picking skill, which didn't even make the slightest sound, was completely a skill that the other party originally possessed.

Yukinoshita Yukino imagined it.

If I were to throw myself into this world alone, without the ability to use mobile payment, swipe a card, or even have an ID, it would be incredibly difficult to survive without using my soul's manifestation ability.

But if it were Ye Xing… …

With his silent infiltration skills, seamless acting, and flashy survival skills that an ordinary high school student shouldn't possess, he could even settle down in this world and stay for as long as he wants.

Could this be the professional quality of a professional exorcist?

After entering the apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino was already very tired, but she was still a little worried and asked, forcing herself to stay awake.

"What if the owner of this apartment suddenly comes back?"

"That won't happen."

Ye Xing waved his hand and sat directly on the sofa in the living room, answering nonchalantly.

"Before choosing this apartment, I went to the underground parking lot to check the parking records. The owner of this apartment has two private parking spaces. One of them has a black sports car. According to common sense, the other car should be an SUV suitable for long trips, travel, and luggage. According to the parking records, the owner only drove the other car out yesterday and didn't park it back at night, proving that they didn't come back all night."

"Before entering the door, I also confirmed that there were two faint, but noticeable, long marks on the carpet at the entrance, where the carpet was pressed down. It must have been left by the wheels installed underneath the suitcase when dragging it because the suitcase was too heavy."

"And there."

Ye Xing raised his hand and pointed to the TV and the back of the vertical air conditioner in the living room, and said with a chuckle.

"The power cords of the air conditioner and the TV have been unplugged. Based on this, the owner of this house should be older and still retains the habits of the older generation when going on long trips. When I was outside the building, I also roughly looked around and only this house's balcony had no clothes drying, presumably worried about heavy rain when they were away from home. Combining these factors, it's at least a long trip that will take them away from home for a week, so you don't need to worry."

"As expected of you… …"

Yukinoshita Yukino was completely convinced.

Whether it was finding a place to rest, taking the train to Tokyo, or getting through and pretending to be an ordinary person who originally lived in this world, it was all thanks to Ye Xing. She didn't contribute anything at all.

"Luckily… … you're here."

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words with a hint of shyness and arrogance, Ye Xing just waved his hand nonchalantly and replied with a smile.

"No need to thank me. We are companions. No matter what hardships we encounter, I will accompany you through them."

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino showed a look of emotion upon hearing this, she heard Ye Xing add immediately.

"Of course, the premise is that you don't care how these hardships came about, just face them."

Hearing Ye Xing's words, Yukinoshita Yukino belatedly realized one thing.

That's right, she shouldn't have appeared here in the first place.

Ye Xing is an "Observer," but she is not.

The reason why she appeared here, in the final analysis, was because of the two's hands at that time… …

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face turned red, she pursed her lips, and dispelled the idea of making some aggressive remarks to Ye Xing.

Didn't she understand this guy?

Once she said that she was brought here by Ye Xing, Ye Xing would definitely say that if she hadn't wanted to hold his hand and had improper thoughts about him, these things wouldn't have happened?

There's no need to humiliate herself.

"Finally, I can rest."

Yukinoshita Yukino dragged her tired body, simply washed up, and then returned to the living room, lying down on the sofa, looking exhausted.

"Yeah, rest."

Ye Xing leaned back on the single sofa on the other side, holding his cheek with his hand and smiling.

"If there are other people besides us who have come to this world, no matter who it is, they should be able to realize that, according to my personality, since I know the location of Yagami Light in this world at nine o'clock tomorrow night, even if I don't launch an attack, I will at least go and take a look. This is a good opportunity for us to gather together."

"The others… …"

Yukinoshita Yukino showed a worried look when she heard this sentence and murmured.

"If Yui and the others also come… … how will they survive in this world… …"

"Chong Nai."

Hearing Ye Xing call her that again, Yukinoshita Yukino was a little angry, but who knew that the other party's next sentence made her stunned.

"You are a kind person, just like Yui."

"Me? Kind?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was slightly stunned before shaking her head, and said with a bit of helplessness.

"How could you associate me with such words? I think you really need to rest too, you're getting delirious."

"Isn't it?"

Ye Xing still had a smile on his face, but just said softly.

"If you weren't a truly kind person, how would you have gained Yui's approval and become her, and everyone's, friend?"

"Friend… …"

Hearing this word, which was originally unfamiliar, but has become very familiar after nearly a year and a half, and can touch her heart, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes flickered, she raised her head to look at Ye Xing, mustered her courage, and her voice became a little trembling.

"Then… … are we also considered friends?"

"Absolutely not."

"So we're not… …"

Before Yukinoshita Yukino had time to be disappointed, Ye Xing suddenly stood up, sat next to her, took her hand, and said softly.

"I hope it's a relationship above that. In my words, I hope you can become my family."

"Family… …"

Yukinoshita Yukino finally understood at this moment what kind of relationship Ye Xing had always been talking about when he said family.

Husband and wife… … aren't they family?

"I… … I… …"

Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face flushed red, recalling the words that Yuigahama Yui and her sister had once said to her, mustered all the courage in her heart, took the initiative to lie on Ye Xing's legs, lying on her side and daring not to shift her gaze upwards, like a frightened little rabbit, and replied softly.

"Actually, I… … I also want to become your family… …"

"Then can you not think about it?"

Ye Xing's abstract answer relaxed the tension in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart a lot, and at the same time made her feel both annoyed and amused.

"I never thought that one day I would actually eat a boomerang and become a Chong Xing classmate who fell in love with Yukinoshita Chong Nai."

Yukinoshita Yukino let out a dissatisfied hum.
