“Hoo~”
A shadow exhaled while being impressed.
it seems that the shadow is within a room filled with screens.
just what are those screens used for you wonder?
they are the screens used in order to see.
“I guess just as she said, he is a subject worthy of his attention.”
the shadow made exaggerated thinking postures while mumbling so.
“Now then....should i welcome him?”
***
After entering the sewers, there has only been a single, straight path.
i walked and walked for what seemed to be hours.....although i cant feel tired because i have frozen the property of my body.
“hmm~hmm~~hmm~”
Light began humming in order to ease his boredom, but soon enough, that too became boring.
“Damn....i hope Wolf didn’t get his information wrong.......ahh! shit.....i forgot to send the text.....to begin with,
that damn Wolf forgot to add a number! if he wasn’t dead, i would’ve killed him!!”
Light spent quite some time insulting the dead until he got to his first fork-road.
“hmm.....which one should i choose......?”
while dwelling on which side of the road to chose, the earth began to shook and Light got on all fours, prone mode.
but unfortunately for him, what only shook was the wall behind him.
the wall opened up and lights started up from inside of the newly opened tunnel.
“damn.....i’m drenched in sewers water....lets hope no poop was dropped today. anyhow, is she inviting me in.........?” after getting back up, he used <
while hesitating over whether its a trap that leads outside the sewers or not, the wall suddenly began coming down. which made Light snap into quick judgment and jumped forward inside the small hole that the closing wall has yet to close.
whether its a trap or not.....taking the risk is better than blindly heading in unknown territory.
making up an excuse to forgive him in case it really was a dead end, he continued on.
he kept walking for what seemed to be hours yet again, but this time around.......“Hahahahaha~!” he was laughing.
he began remembering the events with what happened before coming to the sewers.
he stripped Shinichi’s corpse and hanged it up a lighting pole.
of course, with all the filth dropping from his body from the muscle relaxation after death.
it truly is a humiliating scene that would bring nightmares upon those who did the action and those who have seen it.
but the one who is currently doing the action is dead, and the only apology Light had was toward the people who were going to clean up after his mess.
that's when he reached the end of the line.
it was a dead end.
Light immediately dropped his shoulders in disappointment and gave out a wry smile directed toward himself.
he then gasped in surprise when the wall he thought to be a dead end suddenly turned into a two meter video feed TV.

“Truly....truly superb!”
that is the first that that person said toward Light.
with the rear of the chair facing the camera, he couldn’t make up whether it was a female or a male.
the voice was also changed via a voice changer.
it sounded like DarthVader was speaking....
unexpectedly, Light was a huge Starwars fan but that's a story for another day.
Still surprised at the sudden appearance of a 2 meter screen, Light could only open and close his mouth like an idiot.
after a few minutes, that which sounded like DarthVader broke the silence with a forced cough.
that’s when Light regained his senses.
he thought damn.... i never seen a TV screen that huge....the biggest ones i had in home were 32 inch......
“Err.....a-anyhow, y-your powers....are truly fascinating!”
“.....?”
“i had the liberty of handing you a gift, no? i watched you fight then.”
“by gift....you mean those scum?”
“Yes, those trash....didn’t you have a score to settle with their leader?”
DarthVader spoke in a matter of fact tone.
really....even if you’re right, you shouldn’t talk as if you know everything......right?
“anyhow, do you really understand how i used my power there?”
“of course!”
Light was shocked to hear that.
because he knew that stopping time didn’t mean stopping the whole universe’s time, but only those in set of range.
but that also included cameras and devices....as long as they are in range, they as well can be stopped.
and yet....how did she know? isn't her power only to locate people and objects, rather than an all seeing eye-so to say?
but what came next shook Light even further, to the point where his jaw was hung open.
“the way you used your hand......i cant believe you actually distorted both space and time in order to create a paradox! and yet....taking control of that paradox using the concept of time and grab an ancient weapon this concept is yet to be proven by science......and yet, you just used it......truly marvelous!! with this, we can explain how he still has that ancient relic....but, is the reason why you can’t keep it here for long is because the paradox wont fix itself unless the weapon is back in its rightful place?”
while saying that, Light imagined a little girl inquired about what she didn’t understand by titling her head.
Light, at that moment, realized just how much of a frightful the existence of that person is.
having both absolute eyes and an absolute ears, Light smiled as he began making plans for acquiring a new toy.
he smiled as a child who cant wait to get his hands on a toy just a few minutes from reaching the store.
he smiled so brightly.....it made his previous shocked expression nothing but a lie.
