Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Just what I was thinking.”

In the dictionary of Kyoto's number one butter shooter, the word 'no' never exists at times like these.

With the speed of lightning, Nightstar, in a mere two seconds, stripped off his clothes, making Touma and Saya feel as if he usually deliberately slacked off and lazed around. He then entered the bathroom together with Touma and Saya.

“Oh, right, speaking of the ability to materialize one's soul, it can form the clothes you want to wear…”

Touma and Saya unfastened their underwear, their snow-white feet stepping on the tiled floor. They brushed back their black hair behind their ears, their faces slightly flushed, and a wave of spiritual energy emanated from their bodies.

In the next second, a black, gauze-like long dress, a pair of thin suspender black stockings, and a pair of black and blue high heels directly and automatically dressed Touma and Saya. A delicate black neck ring also appeared on their snow-white necks.

“How is it?”

Although Touma and Saya felt very shy, they still turned around and looked at Nightstar, softly asking.

“Mother told me last time that this performance outfit of mine looks the best. I made some slight improvements. This is an exclusive outfit I only want to show you…”

“It's good, very good, but…”

Nightstar admired Touma and Saya in this elegant outfit, which also had a hint of sexiness due to the see-through gauze material, and chuckled.

“Just looking doesn't seem to satisfy me.”

“Really, are you a hungry ghost for sex…”

Although Touma and Saya said this, they still obediently knelt down. While waiting for the bathtub to gradually fill with hot water, they began special training to suck milk in this specially prepared decisive outfit.

Chapter 483: Massacre in the Courtroom, Declaration of War Against “Mask”

The next morning, inside the Tokyo Court.

“You came here today too. Aren't you afraid of getting burned?”

Hearing the question raised by L beside him, Light Yagami, dressed in casual clothes and sitting in the audience席位, smiled and retorted softly.

“Aren’t you the same?”

“I’m not the same as you.”

Even in the solemn atmosphere of the courtroom, L still maintained his usual bizarre posture of squatting on the chair. He rubbed his eyes, which were showing signs of fatigue from collecting and analyzing information all night, and looked at the judges and jury who were preparing, and said lightly.

“I just want to confirm your actions and the attitude of the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible. If you really become a wanted criminal by then, and I become a suspected accomplice helping the criminal, continuing to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building would not be a wise choice.”

Speaking of this, L paused for a moment, looked at Light Yagami, who looked relaxed, as if nothing would happen next, and as if he was just here to listen, and slowly said.

“But you are different. As long as you rely on your ability, even if you are not in the court, you can still take the lives of criminals. But Light Yagami appeared here today. If things go that far, everyone present will be investigated. Even if your fabricated alibi is seamless, your travel records and the time you appeared in Kyoto, all these traces cannot withstand investigation.”

L's analysis was correct.

Compared to the Death Note in the original plot, Light Yagami, who has awakened his spiritual abilities, although he possesses powerful power himself and is no longer an ordinary person who can be taken down by a few police officers, he will also leave more traces. After all, the range of his manipulation of the Soul Avatar is limited.

Appearing in Kyoto several times for no reason, coupled with the fact that he had no alibi when “Kira” appeared, the Metropolitan Police Department is not stupid. As long as they investigate deeply, exposure is only a matter of time.

“I know.”

Light Yagami rested his chin on one hand, looking interested, and replied softly.

“However, in order to change this increasingly decadent world filled with sin, my previous actions are no longer enough. I must increase my influence, and… the second the judge slams the gavel and announces that unjust result, I will immediately kill the criminal. Only in this way can the world understand that what ‘Kira’ pursues is the ultimate justice. Moreover…”

Light Yagami patted L on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“With your ability, even if you are not inside the Metropolitan Police Department, you should be able to find out information. At the same time as the Metropolitan Police Department starts investigating, we can also start investigating. I always feel that there must still be enemies lurking inside the Metropolitan Police Department, just like that Congressman Sato.”

“Hmm… I feel the same way.”

L said in a flat tone: “There are so many people in Sakura Province, but after Rikka Sakurakawa revealed the truth about so-called spiritual abilities, the frequency of spiritual ability users appearing is too low. Also, last time, the incident of Atsuta Shrine trying to create a spiritual object probably involved more than just Kouka Shinomya. There are even higher-ranking people involved. If there really is such an organization, if I were them, the first target would be the Metropolitan Police Department, which is an institution that maintains social order and can obtain a lot of information.”

Just as L's voice fell, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, a middle-aged man wearing neat clothes, with a crew cut, with a violent aura in his features, but somewhat listless due to being imprisoned for too long, wearing handcuffs and shackles, walked slowly to the defendant's seat under the escort of the bailiff.

“He is the criminal, Takeshi Takebayashi.”

Hearing L's introduction, Light Yagami nodded slightly and muttered in a barely audible voice.

“Twenty-seven kidnapping cases, fifteen murder cases, multiple cases of illegally possessing firearms, forming violent gangs, bribery, extortion, threats, intentional injury… The crimes this guy committed are enough to warrant twenty death sentences. The nature is extremely vile.”

“Yes, this guy…”

Just as L was halfway through speaking, he suddenly inadvertently caught sight of a familiar face not far away.

“That person is…”

Light Yagami noticed the change in L's expression and followed the direction of the other party's gaze. What came into view was a young man wearing a suit, tie, and glasses, with slightly longer hair, and a handsome and refined appearance.

The two looked at each other, with the same thought in their minds.

This guy's appearance… seems highly similar to the man who went to Oda Noto's shop and had a tarot reading with the Mother Goddess…

Could it be…

The same person?

“Light, don’t be impulsive.”

Although L could not feel spiritual power, he knew Light Yagami's character very well. After all, before becoming allies in the same camp, he had been analyzing “Kira’s” psychology and character. At this time, with just one glance, he knew what Light Yagami wanted to do, shook his head and stopped him.

“There are too many people here. Even if we don’t consider the issue of involving innocent people, your identity will definitely be exposed if you fight the other party here. Don’t take the initiative.”

Light Yagami did have the idea of taking action here and directly killing the young man. Although the other party had not yet committed any substantive attacks, Light Yagami still remembered the declaration issued by “Mask” at the time, which was practiced by “Kira”.

Anyone who awakens spiritual abilities will only have two results.

One is to become an assistant of Overload Society after being investigated.

The other… is to be completely eliminated.

Since this young man has not shown any intention of becoming an assistant to “Mask”, then he is an enemy that must be eliminated.

Just as Light Yagami was thinking this, the young man made an unexpected move.

He stood up from his original position, walked to the empty seat beside L, and sat down directly.

"You… …"

"Please keep the courtroom quiet."

L, who was about to speak, had no choice but to swallow his words when he heard the judge announce the official start of the proceedings.

At this moment, after seeing the young man sit down, Light Yagami's brown eyes revealed a scarlet light, no longer concealing his spiritual power fluctuations, his fingers gently caressing the delicate brooch on his clothes, ready to enter the battle state of activating soul manifestation at any time.

The young man, however, was calm, as if sitting next to L was purely coincidental, his gaze never wavering, his attention entirely focused on the widely publicized trial.

"This guy… …"

Like Minami Hino, Light Yagami sensed the strange aura emanating from the young man, similar to that of an evil spirit, but even he, who was skilled at understanding and manipulating people's hearts, didn't understand what the other party was trying to do by appearing here.

Did he know his and L's identities and deliberately come to provoke him while he couldn't easily act?

Wouldn't that be too foolish?

Light Yagami didn't act directly, partly because he didn't want to expose his identity in public, and partly because… …

"I… …am I sweating… …"

Only then did Light Yagami notice that his palms were sweating due to nervousness.

He realized something.

He could disregard everyone else, even his own life, but L, who was just an ordinary person without any power but of great value to the Transcendence Society, had become his constraint.

In a situation where L might be implicated, Light Yagami did feel nervous, worried that his careless actions might lead to L's death.

… …

An hour later, after the jury finished deliberating and whispered a few words to them, the judge delivered the final verdict.

"The evidence against the suspect, Takabayashi Manabu, is conclusive, the chain of evidence is clear, and the impact is extremely bad. However, considering that the suspect suffers from severe mental illness, cannot control his behavior, and lacks self-care ability, the following judgment is now made."

"The defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to a specialized mental health treatment facility to serve his sentence."

The moment he heard this verdict, Light Yagami shook his head.

"As expected… …How disgusting."

The Metropolitan Police Department wanted to use Takabayashi Manabu's crime to restore its public credibility, but in reality, the police and the prosecutor's office were not in the same camp, nor were they superior-subordinate relations. Often, the two sides would even have conflicts over the sentencing of criminals.

This was also reasonable.

During the arrest of criminals, the sacrifices of police officers, and the heinous crimes committed by those suspects, were all witnessed by the officers of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But in the eyes of the prosecutor's office, those lives and crimes were just mere words, used as the basis for sentencing.

The two sides had completely different ideas, and according to Light Yagami's speculation, most of the officials in Tokyo didn't want to carry out the death penalty during their term of office, so they must have used some connections to ensure that Takabayashi Manabu would not be sentenced to death by providing proof of his mental illness.

Anyway, it was said to be life imprisonment, and after commutation, this heinous criminal might return to society in a few years, but those officials didn't care. Since it didn't threaten their personal safety, they would naturally choose the least troublesome approach.

"Yes, disgusting."

Just as Light Yagami was about to act, the young man wearing glasses suddenly stood up in full view and walked step by step towards the defendant's seat.

"To see evil and not choose to punish it is to be evil oneself."

"This world needs to undergo a painful but necessary transformation."

Although the young man's voice was very soft, it seemed particularly jarring in the quiet courtroom.

"Hey, stop!"

Seeing several bailiffs come forward to try to stop him, the young man simply shook his head, took off his glasses, and slowly crushed them in his hand.

"Those who want to hinder the transformation are also evil."

In the next second, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the young man summoned the Soul's True Name that shocked both Light Yagami and L.

"Sever injustice, Minamoto no Yoshitsune."

Following the young man's call, a man wearing ancient samurai armor from the Sakura Province, with long black hair, appeared. The rusty long sword in his hand was drawn and sheathed in an instant.

And the next moment, the bailiffs, the judge who dropped the gavel, the jury sitting beside him, and Takabayashi Manabu, who was standing in the defendant's seat and didn't know what was happening, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The air fell into silence.

Only after two or three seconds did the courtroom erupt in panicked screams, and everyone frantically fled outwards, not wanting to end up like those blood mists.

"You… …"

Seemingly sensing the spiritual power fluctuations on Light Yagami's body, the young man turned his head, looked at L and Light Yagami, who had stood up, and said softly.

"I am just a messenger of God. However, it is really surprising that you two are sitting together."

He sized up L and Light Yagami, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head.

"Never mind, I have no intention of killing you. Such a thing is meaningless. Tell that 'Mask' that my actions today are just the beginning."

"The real struggle begins from this moment."

After saying that, the young man's figure disappeared from the spot.

… …

Later that day, in a detached villa by the sea, Yagami Hoshi and Futaba Rio were having a video call with Light Yagami, who was far away in Tokyo.

The content of the call was naturally the incident that happened in court earlier that day, which had caused a huge uproar.

"Public opinion is exploding now… …"

Futaba Rio flipped through the news online, almost all of which were reports about the incident, and the most outrageous thing was that, in the absence of any evidence, a considerable number of unscrupulous reporters had written outrageous reports that were jaw-dropping.

"A person with special powers? A brutal murderer, is he an accomplice of 'Mask'?"

"A demon who went on a killing spree in court, the true face of 'Kira'?"

"A perfect crime with no traces left, a new accomplice of 'Mask' and 'Kira'?"

… …

"These guys are really getting more and more outrageous… …"

Futaba Rio sighed, covering her forehead, clearly feeling very speechless.

Clearly, the members of the Transcendence Society didn't know the young man's true identity either, but just because he possessed the ability to manifest souls, these unscrupulous media outlets had pinned the blame on them.

"That person's style is indeed a bit too extreme."

Even Light Yagami, who was always considered radical and ruthless by the members of the Transcendence Society, gave such an evaluation.
