PS: I really don't dare to update too much for the new book. I currently have 40 chapters in reserve. As soon as I can sign a contract and get a recommendation, I'll burst into action, okay? I'll post two chapters today! (Blushing) Also, I owe everyone two chapters, so I'll post them all at once with the recommendation.
Five minutes later, Yuanxiao plundered three small hooligans and left the alley alone.
The tens of thousands of yen in his pocket were enough to solve his financial困境. He could leisurely enter a computer cafe, look up information about this world, and quietly wait for the good show that would start in half an hour.
There was such a cafe right across the street from the alley, and it was even on the second floor, the best position. From the second-floor window, he could observe most of the street and the alley, and he could easily leave through the back door on this floor.
"Pollo Cafe."
Yuanxiao glanced at the sign and paused as he walked into the cafe.
The window seat he had his eye on was already occupied by a middle-aged man. The coffee cup was still steaming, indicating that the man had only taken a few sips. This clearly meant the middle-aged man would be there for a while.
If he came to a computer cafe specifically, he would probably have to wait at least an hour.
"An hour is too long."
Yuanxiao's fingers brushed his waist, and a flat red dart landed on his fingertip.
As the King of Assassins, long-range sniping, close-quarters combat, and mid-range darts were his three main assassination methods. After five years of practicing national martial arts in Chaoyang City, he had enhanced the dart technique to an unknown degree.
Whoosh!
A faint sound of breaking air, and the dart pierced the middle-aged man's chest in mid-air.
If the dart were made of steel, its force would be enough to pierce the man's heart.
But this red dart was different. It was entirely 3D printed using a powder from Tok's hand that dissolved in blood. The moment it entered the body, it would paralyze the muscles and dissolve in the blood.
Within five seconds, an ordinary person hit by this dart would experience unbearable headaches.
"Ah!"
A cry of pain, the middle-aged man clutched his head, feeling as if it was about to explode.
The pain came too suddenly, like a needle in his brain, making him dizzy and disoriented. He immediately shouted at the approaching waiter, pulled out his wallet, grabbed a handful of yen, and had them call a car to take him to the hospital.
It was clear that the middle-aged man was a regular here.
Hearing the middle-aged man's desperate plea for help, the waiters quickly helped him leave the cafe. No one realized that everything was done by Yuanxiao in just a few seconds at the door.
"Give me a cup of coffee and the computer by the window. The rest is a tip. I like the quiet atmosphere here. Please don't disturb me unless it's necessary, or I'll be very troubled!"
Yuanxiao came to the counter, took out a ten-thousand-yen note, and smiled warmly.
"Sure, please wait over there."
The female waiter nodded happily after a brief hesitation. First, the middle-aged man had already left, and second, her tip was substantial.
Yuanxiao sat in the wicker chair and skillfully opened the computer in front of him. His fingers brushed his waist, and he removed a USB drive, which he inserted into the port. The software he had carefully written took over the computer's firewall, and various hacking programs began to run in the background.
In his previous life, as the King of Assassins who roamed the world, his strongest skill was not firearms or combat.
Hacking was his greatest strength. The entire world's network and surveillance cameras were his eyes. No network could stop his intrusion, and no target could escape the assassination once their whereabouts were exposed.
With his computer skills and the decent configuration of the cafe's computers, it was not difficult to hack into the city's police station, modify the identity database, and forge a surface identity that wouldn't be easily seen through.
The half-hour approached quickly, and Yuanxiao unplugged the USB drive, erasing all traces of his intrusion.
In this half-hour, he not only forged an identity but also figured out what kind of world this was. The famous Clover Company in the city confirmed that this was the animated version of the "Death Note" series.
The Shinigami Ryuk, tired of life in the Shinigami realm, deliberately dropped his Death Note in the human world. This terrifying notebook, which could kill anyone whose name was written in it, was picked up by high school student Light Yagami on the playground.
When he confirmed that the notebook was real, he decided to use its power to eliminate criminals and create a world without crime, becoming the god of the new world. He then began to punish criminals as "Kira," causing many criminals to die of heart failure, regardless of nationality.
This reckless approach drew the attention of the police. The mysterious detective L declared it a mass murder and announced that he had begun an investigation, requesting assistance from the ICPO and establishing the Kira Investigation Headquarters in Japan.
Through various investigations, L eventually determined that Kira was in the Kanto region and issued a challenge.
Receiving L's challenge, Light Yagami believed that L would be a stumbling block on his path to creating a new world. Due to his arrogance and naivety, he accepted the challenge and engaged in a confrontation, writing the names of investigators in the notebook to protect his identity from being exposed...
"What an interesting world."
Yuanxiao sipped the still warm coffee, leaned back in the wicker chair, and looked out the window.
Across the window was the alley where he had plundered the three small hooligans. Calculating the time, they should be waking up by now.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, the three hooligans, supporting each other and limping, walked out of the alley. Their bruised and swollen faces made passersby avoid them. The three hooligans, with grim faces, tried to hail a taxi, but no one stopped.
"Damn, today is really unlucky."
The hooligan with yellow hair, dragging his dislocated arm, cursed in his heart. Seeing fewer cars, he stood in the middle of the road and stopped a passing taxi, determined not to pay and to remember the license plate number, ready to take action if the opportunity arose.
Why is my vision so blurry, and my heart feels so uncomfortable.
The hooligan with yellow hair felt his limbs go numb, and he collapsed on the road, losing consciousness.
Bang!
The taxi driver, unable to slow down in time, hit the hooligan with yellow hair. Fortunately, the speed was low due to the pedestrian crossing, and no major accident occurred. However, the driver was at a loss, seeing the hooligan lying motionless on the ground.
Several screams echoed. Not only did the hooligan with yellow hair fall, but his two companions on the roadside also collapsed.
People screamed and called the police, and soon the street was crowded with onlookers.
"Dead..."
A cold smile appeared on Yuanxiao's lips.
The hidden force tore the heart, just like the effect of the Death Note.
Kira's most skilled method of killing was to cause heart failure, and he didn't even bother to use other methods, using this one to show his existence to the world. The three hooligans who died of heart failure would soon appear in the news.
Whether it was L in the police or Light Yagami, they would not sleep well tonight.
The simultaneous death of three unknown hooligans gave the impression that Kira was in this city, which was something Light Yagami could not accept as a frame-up. He would urgently try to find this unknown killer.
Similarly, the famous detective L would be puzzled.
Why would the cautious Kira do something so obvious to expose his tracks? There were only two possibilities: one, Kira was setting a trap, deliberately coming to this city to kill and divert their attention; the other, Kira was directly challenging him in this city.
"What will you do?"
Yuanxiao finished his coffee in one gulp and turned to look at the webpage on the computer.
Just yesterday, the mysterious detective L, through delayed live broadcasts around the world, used the death of a body double and the starting point of Kira's crimes to declare war on Kira in Japan, locking Kira in the Kanto region.
With the new developments, what will they do...
