CHAPTER 18
Light thought fast. The solution was simple; it just needed time to work, which meant using delaying tactics while manipulating Misa to keep her from blurting out the directions too soon.
Rem would move my death note, but she is tethered to my location unless I give up ownership, and I don't want to be helpless without my memories. I can get her to make Ryuk do it.
Ryuk was laughing and Rem was going into a verbal panic, flinging constant questions at Light as if she thought he could actually answer.
Rem will calm when she sees me taking this well. This isn't a bad setback. I've gotten out of worse situations before. I can handle this, and everything will go exactly as planned.
Light snuck a hand into his pocket to switch off his cellphone and took a deep breath. Then he placed his hands on Misa's shoulders and put an irresistible expression on his face as he gazed directly into her eyes.
Light said, "Misa, I think this must be something to do with the investigation. We need to discuss the future of our relationship in more detail, to be certain we've both agreed on what to do and so we know we're satisfied with the other person's reasoning. But the Kira investigation comes first. I'm going into the bathroom for some privacy so I can talk with my father. Don't listen at the door. When I come out, we need to have a long talk about our relationship."
Misa will certainly listen at the door.
Misa looked stunned but hopeful. That was good; that would make her especially easy to manipulate. She didn't want the relationship to be over. Light turned his back on her and went into the bathroom. Rem and Ryuk followed.
Light closed the door and then said, "Ryuzaki, I'm sure you can hear me from the cameras and microphones, so I'm just going to explain my deductions quickly and then I'll go back out to Misa. I think your idea to get information from her by using this trick is working. I think Kira could have left physical evidence at whatever place Misa will indicate."
Rem said, "Light, what are you doing?"
Without pausing, Light continued, "But, I doubt this is a useful clue. Kira has means of spying on us and of manipulating things from a distance. If there ever was physical evidence at that location, I'm sure Kira has already moved it."
Light's eyes flickered in a meaningful glance to Ryuk.
Rem said, "Ryuk, go move the death note to a completely new hiding place, far away from the old one, or I will find a way to torment you in revenge. It is near where Misa's death note was buried before, but instead of being close to that big tree it is right next to that huge boulder. On the north side, I believe."
Ryuk said, "Okay, okay, but you're really stretching your favors, Rem. You're lucky this is so entertaining, or I might just let L catch him."
As Ryuk disappeared through the wall, Light continued, "Ryuzaki, since you haven't called my cellphone with a different plan, then I'll follow mine. I'll go back to the room and I'll be nice to Misa. When I've convinced her of my good intentions, I'll ask her where that location is. I'm sure she'll tell me honestly, and then I'll dump her just as you asked and never have anything to do with her again. But, if she doesn't tell me, I'll have to keep up a pretense of a relationship until I can get that information out of her."
There. Misa should have heard that, and I already know she will do anything to keep a relationship with me, even a fake relationship. Even if she does tell, it should take so long that Ryuk would have moved my death note to a new place, so L will get nothing.
Light composed himself, preening in front of the bathroom mirror a bit as if getting ready to impress Misa, and then he turned and walked to the bathroom door slowly, with deliberately placed steps that should be audible to any eavesdropper. He slowly opened the door, not finding Misa crouched there. Instead, she was sitting on the bed, looking sad and hopeful and worked up.
Light smiled, exuding comforting, pleased body language as he approached Misa, then sat down next to her and said, "Misa, I received permission from the rest of the investigators to tell you the truth. Ryuzaki staged this break-up. It was all a trick to see if you're the second Kira, or if you knew anything. Ryuzaki suspected you were withholding information because you wanted to protect me, and that you would let out that information if you believed that I no longer cared about you."
"Oh, Light, I knew you wouldn't leave me. I knew it!"
At once, Misa's arms were clamped around his chest, restricting his breathing.
Now, I just have to keep delaying. I think Ryuk can fly fast enough that it should take him twenty minutes or less to reach the right place. Unfortunately, my death note is part of the human world because I still own it, so it won't be invisible as Ryuk carries it and people might notice it flying as Ryuk transports it away. I wish I could have warned him against that.
Misa's fingers began wandering downward, slowly at first, and then she made a quick grab for the button to unfasten Light's trousers.
Light jumped out of reach, but not in time. The front of his trousers was already hanging open. The sneaky bitch had managed not just to unbutton, but also to unzip, almost instantly. Her face looked positively predatory in a chilling way.
Light said, "Misa, we shouldn't do anything until we've talked out all our issues."
"But, this was just a trick Ryuzaki was playing. We can be together now. There is nothing to keep us apart any more, Light."
Before, when she was living in the investigation headquarters, she wanted to have sex but only if we could hide under a futon to block the cameras. Misa wants me but she shouldn't be quite this bold in front of the cameras. Did she not listen at the door to the bathroom?
Light quickly fastened up his pants and said, "Misa, if our relationship is ever to go anywhere, you need to let me talk out our issues. Now, can you be quiet and listen?"
"Yes!"
L will quickly realize I'm delaying, but I have no choice. Will he send anyone in to stop me, or will he hold back, reasoning that I'll get the truth out of Misa eventually and that sending in people to arrest us might make Misa decide to never reveal the information?
Angling his body so that the digital clock on the wall would remain within view, Light looked deeply into Misa's eyes, trying to project an air of sincerity and concern, and launched into a very complicated, detailed discussion of all the "issues" in their relationship. He carefully worded everything to provoke as little upset as possible, and skirted all the real problems - how annoying Misa was, her clinginess, her bland personality, and the way she swung wildly between the two extremes of intelligence and stupidity.
Eleven minutes into the speech, Misa's cellphone rang, and before Light could grab it, she had it against her ear, saying, "Oh, hello Ryuzaki. Okay, I'll tell him."
She held out the phone to Light. "It's for you!"
Light gingerly took the phone, and as soon as he'd pressed it to his own ear, L said, "I thought you might want a warning. Get to the point immediately. You have one minute."
"I'm getting to it. There's a right way and a wrong way to do this. It's better with gentleness, not force."
"Your minute is already running out. You won't like what I have planned if you don't cooperate."
The connection went dead.
What the hell? Is he threatening to torture us? He can't scare me into speeding things up, and no matter how suspicious this situation makes L, I can always convince the others that I thought I was doing the right thing.
Light gave the cellphone back to Misa and picked up the speech exactly where he'd left off.
He'd barely gotten out a few sentences when the television suddenly turned on by itself, showing a video of Light naked, tied to a chair, while L gave him a blowjob. Because of the camera angle, no part of L's face was visible, but it was unmistakably him, with his distinctive shaggy black hair and the weird posture of his slender body. To make things worse, the Light on screen was giving verbal directions to L.
Misa's eyes were incredibly round, her mouth slack and hanging open. Not the slightest sound emitted from her, not even breathing. Light ran to the television and turned it off. When that didn't work, he unplugged it, but it just kept playing the video.
Obviously, it was rigged with an internal battery and the buttons were disconnected.
Misa let out a high-pitched shriek, and her arms flailed wildly in the air. Light wanted to laugh at her.
When Misa got her breath back she said, "No... no... Ryuzaki raped my Light. Is that it? Or, it's video editing, special effects. Ryuzaki isn't really there, it's just one of his tricks."
The video suddenly switched to a scene of L on the bottom, with Light above, thrusting into L and talking dirty. L's face should have been visible from this camera angle, but it was edited out. It was still clear it was him. L ejaculated, and then there was a close-up of Light licking the semen from L's belly and talking about how much he liked it between licks.
Then it was suddenly a shower scene, the camera zoomed in to show almost nothing except Light's face endlessly mouthing L's erection, water streaming down over everything. It was very detailed and graphic and was not at all the sort of thing that could be produced by video editing, involving too much close interaction of touching objects.
Misa's face was beginning the transition from shocked to insanely furious.
L had said that one possible trick would be to make Misa as angry as possible. Well, I can play along with this to delay talking about the information L wants, and pretend I'm doing it in order to go along with his plan. Rem will just have to endure this for Misa's sake.
Light said, "Misa, I admit I've been having sex with Ryuzaki, but it's only because he's so much better looking than you."
"What!"
"Well, to begin with you're too skinny. You should put on some weight. Also, you shouldn't dye your hair. And I hate the gothic lolita style. You should wear regular clothing, like Ryuzaki does. There's nothing wrong with a t-shirt and jeans."
Misa sputtered incoherently, clenching her fists and unable to get out a single word. Then she said, "But he's a guy! That's disgusting. And he looks horrible. I don't think he even brushes his hair."
Misa moved to turn her back to the still-playing video, but she stopped the movement halfway, as if sickly fascinated and unable to tear her eyes away from the screen.
In a mumbling, quiet voice, Misa said, "It can't be. Why would you do this? Light, how do I stop you from seeing him? Is he blackmailing you?"
Light allowed his gaze to flicker to the clock.
It is getting to the point where Ryuk might be safe even if L mobilizes forces immediately. Just a few more minutes. This will turn Misa against me, but it's also very distracting, and every extra moment is precious.
Light said, "Misa, I'm not breaking up with you. I can't resist Ryuzaki because I have very exact sexual requirements that he meets, but there is no need for us to stop dating because of this."
"You'll leave him?"
Tears were starting to overflow from Misa's eyes and run down her face.
Light said, "No, Misa. I told you I can't resist him. The real reason I couldn't leave headquarters is because he always wants to have sex and I give in every time. We're almost constantly doing it. It started before I ever met you. We had sex while we were going to college together. That first night I met you, when you came to my home, and I kissed you, I was thinking about fucking him while we kissed."
"Light! Light!"
"But we don't need to break up, Misa. Let me talk to him. We've had threesomes before, so maybe he'd be willing to let you join in, if I phrased it just right. However, you definitely have to gain some weight first. You don't turn me on at all the way you are now."
"Threesomes! Threesomes!"
Misa's voice was abnormally high-pitched and starting to crack. Even more tears were running down her face.
Rem suddenly loomed close and said, "Light, you're tormenting her!"
Light turned his back on Rem and said, "Yes, Misa. Matsuda has joined us quite a number of times, and a few other people as well on rare occasions. In fact, I think this would work best if you seduced Matsuda, and then I introduced the idea to Ryuzaki. Yes, why don't you gain a little weight, and seduce Matsuda, and then after that I'm sure Ryuzaki won't object to you joining us. We'll all become a nice stable foursome. You want me to be happy, don't you, Misa? This will make me very happy, and you'll be able to have sex with me that way."
Misa let out a despairing little wail and threw herself onto the bed on her stomach, burying her face in the pillows and letting out deep, wracking sobs.
Rem said, "Light Yagami, you're giving Ryuk more time, aren't you? This is... necessary."
About time you figured that out, Rem. You're so slow sometimes. Yes, with Misa like this, it'll certainly cause a delay. She's in shock.
Light sat down on the bed next to Misa and stroked her hair from the back.
He said, "Misa, don't worry. Soon everything will be good. Just seduce Matsuda for me, okay? And, one more thing I just thought of. I've never been in anything bigger than a foursome. I'd really like it if you could seduce one of the girls from your modeling agency and bring her along too. Any of them would work. They're all more attractive than you are."
Misa let out a scream stifled into the pillows.
After a few more sobs, Misa suddenly sat straight up, twisted around and began hitting Light. Her mascara was running down her face along with her tears and was smeared everywhere. Her fists were weak and ineffective, drumming against his shoulders. There was no strength in them, and she was gasping as if she'd run a long distance, huge shuddering breaths.
She stopped hitting, looking down, her head drooping, and shoulders shaking.
She shook her head several times, then looked Light straight in the eye and screamed, "You're lying! You're lying! This is all a trick."
She rolled her eyes and an insane giggling began coming out of her mouth in little spurts, as if she couldn't control it. She wrapped her arms around herself tightly and rocked gently until the laughter died down.
Then, in a surprisingly calm voice, Misa said, "This is a trick. Ryuzaki is making you say strange things to upset me, to see what I'll do."
I pushed her too far. She realized I was lying.
Misa continued, "You still love me, Light, you do, and I'll make you realize it. I won't give up. I'll do everything you need me to do. We'll go together, and dig. Maybe you'll remember telling me about it then, and why it was important."
Light stood up and held out his hand, "Do you want to go right now? But first you should fix your make-up. It looks horrible."
Misa self-consciously traced her fingers along one cheek, then looked at the blackish smears on them and ran to the bathroom. Her steps were lighter, practically skipping.
I need to keep her off the subject, talking about other things.
Light called out, "Make sure you fix it completely. You're going to have to work to keep me interested. Having an attractive appearance is part of that work."
Misa called out, "But you were just lying when you said I needed to gain weight, right? I'd get fat!"
"You're far from fat, Misa. You're a twig. I don't like it."
Then Misa suddenly blurted out, "I remember exactly what you said then, even though you don't. You said to hike along the Umeboshi Trail until I come to the place-"
"Are you sure I said something like that?"
"Yes, Light. You gave very clear instructions. You said once I came to the place-"
"But, if I did tell you this, then why didn't you do it?"
There was a pause, and then Misa said, "Well, I think I went partway there, because I remember getting ready and starting down the trail, but I think I just must have given up or something. I went back home and never dug anywhere."
I'm sure L has already given orders to send people to that park. Will it be the task force, or the police? Probably the police, because L still thinks Misa could kill the task force, and also because it would be just like L to cut off the entire park from every side in order to question everyone who tries to leave. Only the police have enough numbers for that. Is Ryuk already clear of the perimeter?
Misa said, "Anyway, you said to stop hiking right where there's this really large stump that is completely hollow and has only a single branch on it. Then I should face the east, and in that direction I'd see a really large tree, the closest tree that was large, and I should dig at the base of it."
Just then, the door to the hotel room burst open, and numerous officers in helmets with low, darkened visors completely covering their faces crowded inside. At the same instant the door opened, the television turned off, finally no longer playing the L and Light porn show.
Misa stuck her head out the door of the bathroom and said, "Hey, Light, what's going on?"
Light raised his hands in the air and said, "Misa, don't resist them. I think they're here to arrest us, but we didn't do anything wrong, so there won't be any harm. We'll both be fine, and they'll release us again as soon as they realize they don't have any meaningful evidence."
Hopefully, Rem will realize I'm actually talking to her.
One of the officers said, "Is that Misa Amane? And the chief's son?"
Another officer said, "Quiet. We have to keep everything confidential."
Light said, "I have no objections, and I'll cooperate fully. So will Misa."
Misa held out her wrists to be handcuffed, her face looking cheerful and innocent, a mask of perfection just like she used in her movie acting.
An officer said, "We're only here for the girl. You can stay, Light."
Light remained where he was until the officers had left, and then he made his way out of the hotel entirely, aiming for where Watari should supposedly be to pick him up. Rem was full of nervous chatter, but Light ignored her. L had bugged everything, so there was no chance to talk sense into Rem. She'd already been through one crisis after another without killing, and she was learning, she was being trained to trust. Light Yagami's plans did not fall apart and fail, ever. Soon Rem would be completely sure of that, and her confidence would only grow with time.
Just as expected, Watari was still waiting in the same place. Light got into the back of the limousine, and then pulled his cellphone out of his pocket as he settled in and Watari drove away, pretending to be surprised that it was switched off. It wouldn't fool L, but it might fool all the others. The key to beating L was isolation. No matter how suspicious L was, he was still helpless if everyone else could be fooled.
Watari did not go directly back to headquarters, but drove around aimlessly for more than an hour. Light caught on right away, but said nothing about it.
So, L is playing the time-wasting game too, thinking he can get some advantage that way. Ryuk was given enough of a head start that he almost certainly escaped undetected. Even if the flying notebook was seen and chased, I'm still confident Ryuk could get away, and that he'd try hard until he'd completely lost any pursuit. He doesn't want Rem to torment him, or for his entertainment to end so easily as L getting a hold of the death note now.
When Watari finally did arrive at headquarters, only L was there, sitting in front of a computer in the main investigation room, working diligently at carving a slice of pumpkin pie into many little pieces and then distributing them onto a plate in neat little rows. His eyes were large and intense, and he seemed not to notice that anyone had arrived.
As Light approached and Watari got out the chain, Light said, "Where is Dad, and the others?"
L said, "Everyone else is at the secondary headquarters, investigating the new lead. Misa has been very useful. Of course I can't discuss any of it with you, Light, since you're still a suspect."
"I understand. Someday, you'll see that I'm innocent, and then we'll solve many cases together, won't we?"
The handcuffs clicked into place, each side being locked by Watari. The weight of the chain felt comfortable as it hung between them, oddly reassuring.
After a pause to push food around on his plate, L said, "I'm finding the secondary headquarters very interesting. Even though Kira can seemingly observe and influence events at a distance, and some evidence of the kind Kira might want to destroy has arrived there, Kira has done nothing. I am beginning to think that Kira does not have a way of observing the secondary headquarters. I wonder why not?"
Rem said, "Could he mean the death note? What else could it be?"
Rem, if the death note had been found, Ryuk would have already returned and told us, to see the drama unfold. Because Ryuk isn't here yet, it means he must be searching out a distant hiding place. You should be able to figure that out on your own.
Light said, "Ryuzaki, if there was any physical evidence at that location Misa mentioned, Kira has already moved it. I'm sure if Kira hadn't moved it, we would have seen some indication of it by now. Kira would have attacked us to try to get the evidence back and also to erase it from our memories."
L began typing at the keyboard in front of him, and in moments had brought up a map of Tokyo.
L said, "I wonder if Kira has not attacked the secondary headquarters because you do not know where it is, Light. I could show you right now. It would be an interesting experiment."
Light leaned close. "Go ahead, Ryuzaki, show me. It won't matter. You'll see."
L said "Here," and hovered the mouse pointer over a particular area, zooming in several times until Light could see the exact building, and a little text box showing the address popped up.
Rem leaned close and read the address out loud. Her incorporeal face overlapped with L's face, and the visual effect was incredibly creepy, like half of L's face had turned monstrous.
Light averted his eyes and said, "There. I know now, and nothing will happen as a result of it."
L made a noncommittal noise and continued to play with his food. For the rest of the day, L did almost nothing, spending an extraordinary amount of time simply crouched in his chair, staring off into space. He occasionally had short, cryptic phone calls with other investigation team members, mostly Aizawa, but even when Rem leaned right next to the earpiece and repeated the other side of the conversation word for word, Light couldn't make much of it. It had to be some kind of code, or else meaningless things meant to look like code and waste his time and energy. He did try to crack whatever it was, but no solution came to him.
Ryuk eventually arrived and told his story to Rem and Light. Some bystanders had noticed the flying notebook, or rather the flying box, since the death note had been placed inside a plastic bag and then a box and Ryuk had wisely dug up and taken away the entire thing. However, there hadn't been any pursuit and he left each and every bystander who seemed to notice it far behind.
He'd left Tokyo altogether and flown as far as Osaka. There, Ryuk snuck into a construction site, burying the box with the notebook deeply in the soil under a place where they were pouring a concrete floor for a new building, and then he'd watched them pour concrete over it.
Ryuk had a good chuckle at that point in the story, and then had said, "If you want to use your death note again, Light, you'll need a jackhammer or a backhoe. And, you know what the best part is?"
Light stayed silent.
Ryuk said, "Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting you can't answer me. Well, the best part is the irony. The place I picked to bury it is the new Yotsuba sub-headquarters they're building in Osaka. When it's finished perhaps Higuchi's buddies will be walking above it every day, completely unaware of what's beneath them."
Well, this means nothing. L will never find my death note now, and I'll never touch it again, so it doesn't matter where it is. L shouldn't ever have a reason to go dig up all Yotsuba property, and that building is probably very expensive, so it would be difficult to get permission to break up the foundation. It also removes the temptation to ever use it again, since I'd have to go to a great deal of trouble to dig it up.
That night, L was a playful and aggressive sexual partner. He used soft little bites and tickling to distract, and he was constantly squirming out of Light's grasp or flipping him over. L obviously wanted to be on top, and he resisted nearly everything Light did. He wouldn't undress fast enough, he wouldn't spread his legs, and every time Light climbed on top, L would use a combination of strength and his flexible slenderness to make a few quick moves to suddenly pin Light beneath him.
L had been on top so frequently since his first time that Light was getting tired of it. He wanted to be inside L, in that warm enclosing space, and he refused to back down. It was time to top again.
Light wrestled with L for the tube of lubricant, and they each tried to elbow the other out of the way, vying to prepare the other for penetration without allowing themselves to be prepared. What had started out as aggressive foreplay turned into their first true fight for sexual dominance, not anything painful, but a lot of pushing and wriggling and holding each other down. It was frustrating but strangely exciting all at once.
When Light finally managed to pin a nude L long enough to suck in the full length of his penis, L stopped resisting and became helpless and needy, thrusting up into Light's mouth and letting Light prepare him for penetration without any more struggles. Light then entered L and fucked him long and hard, slamming him into the mattress again and again. Light didn't let up until L had made all those wonderful noises L tended to make during sex and had come twice, triggering Light's own orgasm with the second time.
From the smug, satisfied look on L's face as he lay there practically glowing, Light guessed that L didn't really care that much about who topped. He just enjoyed the struggle for dominance. Well, it was another way to win against L. The relationship with L had always been about competition, and it was nice to think about that part of things not stopping as the Kira case faded away and Kira's very last kill, on November 5th, retreated further and further into the past. L seemed as if he'd always be a challenge on some level, no matter how much things changed.
The remainder of the week until the ultimatum for L would kick in was odd, in several different ways. The other investigators rarely came to the main headquarters at all any more; they were supposedly too busy at the secondary headquarters. Usually it was just Matsuda, and he did things that were pointless, that Watari was capable of doing, such as making coffee. Light was almost completely certain that L had arranged the few visits that did happen as cover-ups, to throw off suspicion, or perhaps to be obvious as cover-ups and therefore create suspicion and an urge to act. Was the secondary headquarters now a trap, baited and ready for a Kira attack?
Soichiro only arrived once during that time span, and he seemed more reserved than ever, worn-out, uncertain, and very old. When Matsuda arrived he was always too talkative, almost like a high school girl, prattling on about every subject except the investigation. Aizawa visited twice, and he was gruff and impatient each time, clearly anxious to leave. Mogi never came, and neither did Aiber or Wedy.
L was stranger than usual, even by L standards. He was idle far too much of the time, especially considering the approaching deadline. Staring off into space became a regular occurrence, the thing Light could count on finding L doing nearly every time Light glanced L's way. And, L was moody during sex, constantly switching back and forth between aggressive and hesitant, while the rest of the time his emotions were more unreadable than ever, his face incredibly blank. When food was in front of him, he became highly focused on playing with it, endlessly arranging and re-arranging it before finally, almost reluctantly, consuming it. Light thought he had probably never seen L eat so little.
Rem told Ryuk the address L had given for the secondary headquarters, and tried to convince Ryuk to go there and spy for her, but Ryuk insisted that he'd been threatened into doing enough errands and was done for a while. Ryuk frequently became bored stiff and left headquarters, probably scouting around for unattended apples and taking his obligatory trips to the shinigami realm, so that he'd never overstay the three-day limit for a shinigami who wasn't attached to a human through a death note.
And then, the very last day arrived, the end of the month-long span that L had been given to prove his deductions, or to step down as head of the investigation since his habit of having sex with the prime suspect was too unprofessional. Light wondered whether the others would feel sorry for L and extend the deadline, or if L would pull some trick to be allowed a new deadline, or if L would technically step down but continue to lead secretly by manipulating things from behind the scenes.
It wasn't like L to simply give up. This was the most important case of L's career, and it had consumed far more of his time than any other case of L that was known to law enforcement officials. Perhaps there was some secret case that had consumed more time, but none of L's known cases had remained unsolved for so long.
Light almost expected the entire procedure to be skipped, but instead the task force had assembled by ten in the morning, all looking morose and nervous except Aiber. The con man probably had too much control to look upset. Almost none of them were talking except Matsuda, and with him it was a meaningless jabber interspersed with high-pitched giggles and requests for more coffee. Wedy was smoking constantly, stubbing out her cigarettes before she was done with them and lighting new ones.
Light stood, waiting for L to finish on the computer and spin his chair around to face the others. Finally, Soichiro cleared his throat loudly and said, "Ryuzaki, I think it is time."
"Yes, of course," L said, and turned his chair, not bothering to stand up.
L continued, "It is possible that we will all die today, but in that case others will carry on our purpose. We are here to deliberately provoke Kira, by giving him information we've been withholding from him before now. We have considerably more evidence on both our suspects than ever before. It is not a complete proof, but at the very least it is enough to justify keeping both Misa Amane and Light Yagami under close observation for the rest of their lives. However, I suspect the facts disclosed today will trigger some sort of action that will yield additional clues. Kira will have no choice but to strike back once we've shown him how close we are to catching him."
Light felt the hair on the back of his neck prickling.
Calm down, it's most likely a bluff. Even if it isn't a bluff, nothing L has found can force me to act. And I can probably keep him from provoking Rem too much. Even if it gets extremely bad, I have an emergency plan to fall back on. I can get through this.
Light said, "I'm not frightened of surveillance, because I know I'm not Kira. Watch me as long as you want. But, if you've managed to get more evidence against Kira, then I'm impressed, Ryuzaki. I thought it would be almost impossible since the deaths ceased completely some time ago."
In a dry tone, L said, "Thank you, Light. Now, Aizawa bring the evidence."
Aizawa carried over an external hard drive, and L hooked it up to his computer. L's fingers hovered above the keyboard, not typing anything, and he glanced over his shoulder at Light.
L said, "Light, I'm about to prove that you have a hallucination. Do you have any confession to make before I show you the proof?"
