Chapter 2's ending is more decent than yours.
Shinjuku on a rainy night is somewhat bizarre and surreal.
The electronic sign and neon lights cast shadows on the wet ground, which, as the water gently flowed, transformed into abstract patches of color.
Men and women walked through it, holding umbrellas.
At this moment, in a secluded, narrow, dark alley.
The light here is dim, and the noise is blocked out by the tall buildings.
A young man was staggering into the alley.
He had chestnut hair, was tall, and wore a black sweater and a khaki coat.
They walk with their backs bent and their heads down.
He gripped the bag on his shoulder tightly with both hands.
The rain soaked his hair and coat, making him look very disheveled.
"They killed... killed two people..."
"I actually killed someone..."
Confusion, fear, shock, doubt, excitement, guilt... a whole host of intense emotions were surging toward him.
He stopped and rested his elbow against the wall.
"Life is very precious."
"Do I have the right to arbitrarily punish others?"
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly raised his head.
"wrong!"
Beneath her rain-dampened bangs, a pair of sharp and determined eyes shone brightly, captivating even in the dim surroundings.
"Haven't I been thinking about these things all along?"
"This world is rotten! Rotten people should die!"
"Someone absolutely has to do this!"
"Even if it means sacrificing my spirit and life, I cannot let the world continue to sink into depravity..."
"If someone else finds this notebook, can they eliminate the people the world doesn't need?"
"impossible!"
"But if it were me, I could do it!"
"No, only I can do it!"
Just as Light Yagami thought of this, a mysterious sixth sense suddenly made him turn around abruptly.
Suddenly, someone appeared behind him.
He was only two or three meters away.
Seeing him suddenly turn around, the man seemed startled and raised his hands to show that he meant no harm: "Um... excuse me, just kidding."
The other person's Japanese wasn't very good.
"A foreigner?" Light Yagami asked. "Is there something you need?"
He secretly became more vigilant.
I didn't realize I was so distracted that I didn't even notice someone approaching.
Could it be that they're after the Death Note?
No, what am I thinking?
How could anyone else possibly know about this?
In other people's eyes, I'm just an ordinary high school student.
The other person was a foreigner, probably asking for directions.
Sure enough, the man pulled out a notebook and, as he approached, asked, "May I ask where the address in this is? Also, if I may be frank, you don't seem to be in very good shape..."
Light Yagami ignored the other person's concern.
He leaned closer, looking at the small notebook in the other person's hand: "Where?"
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!
As he subconsciously bent over, Light Yagami instinctively tilted his head to the side, but it was too late.
A powerful blow struck the back of his neck.
Light Yagami's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
Mud and water splashed onto most of his face.
He struggled to move his head and looked at the other person with difficulty: "Who... are you?"
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised.
If you get hit on the back of the neck like that, wouldn't you be knocked unconscious on the spot in a TV drama?
Was it because Light Yagami shifted slightly just now?
No wonder he has top-notch athletic ability.
Unfortunately, although he did not faint on the spot, he had obviously lost the ability to resist temporarily.
Speaking of Light Yagami...
According to the system's explanation along the way, the world barrier of Universe 77 has loosened for unknown reasons, forming some special spatial nodes.
At those junctures, the line between reality and illusion is blurring, and fantasy is seeping into reality.
"Robbery... oh..." Light Yagami stammered, "I can... give... you money..."
Xu Yuan did not answer. He squatted down, unzipped his bag, and took out the Death Note with a black cover.
Upon seeing this, Light Yagami's pupils contracted violently!
No one would go to such lengths to steal a notebook unless the other party knew its value!
This person actually knew about the Death Note?!
"Who...are you?"
"I'm just a cleaner," Xu Yuan said casually.
This time, his Japanese became exceptionally fluent.
The native-level Japanese proficiency provided by the system is truly impressive.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan opened the Death Note.
Then he took a pen from Light Yagami's bag and wrote the three characters "Light Yagami".
"What...what did you write?"
When Yagami saw what he had written in his notebook, a sudden, extremely ominous feeling welled up inside him.
"Isn't this notebook yours?" Xu Yuan asked earnestly. "I'll write your name on it for you."
"No!!!" Light Yagami suddenly shouted.
He somehow mustered the strength to struggle a few times, trying to get up, but ultimately failed, his cheek pressed against the cold ground, his eyes bloodshot.
"Stop!!! You can't do this!!"
Xu Yuan snapped his notebook shut: "But I've already done it."
"Scratch it off!!!" Light Yagami shouted.
Xu Yuan shook his head: "Cross out the useless stuff."
Upon hearing this, Light Yagami froze in shock.
"Am I... going to die?" he murmured. "Am I about to die?"
Xu Yuan gently shook his head.
As long as the world of Death Note doesn't collapse, Light Yagami won't die; instead, the story will loop again and again.
Those fantasy worlds are all in time loops.
Thinking about it that way, it seems worse than death.
"You won't die, you'll just return to your stage," Xu Yuan said.
However, Light Yagami did not hear him.
Or even if he heard it, he wouldn't believe it.
At this moment, he was gripped by a deep fear of impending death.
He didn't understand why the person in front of him was doing this.
Was it to kill him to silence him and seize control of the notebook?
Damn it! He's only just found his purpose in life! He's only just escaped boredom!
Fate played such a cruel joke on him!
Is this retribution for murder?
Ugh... this world is truly awful...
I only cleaned up two pieces of trash; there are plenty of people in the world who do bad things and get away with it!
Why should I?!
This is not fair!
This is absolutely unfair!!!
...So, am I going to die?
Am I... going to die?
How many seconds are left?
No, there might only be a dozen seconds left...
Die, die...
I'm going to die...
I'm going to die...
I don't want to die...
His past life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
In a daze, he saw his parents' faces and his sister's face.
He remembered that his mother was still at home waiting for him to come home.
But he can't go back...
In the final seconds of his life, Light Yagami's eyes no longer held the fear of death, but instead revealed a tender longing and boundless reluctance to part.
"What a... shame..."
Xu Yuan silently observed the changes in his expression.
He suddenly smiled slightly and said softly, "That's more dignified than your ending."
