PS: Thanks to the three readers 150501144619020, Qingfengsaolvye, and ≮Zeng Tianzhen≯ for their generous donations.

PS: Why don't you change your names? Lvye, you've also come to the new book, kisses! Tianzhen, you've spent a lot! There will still be two updates today. I've decided to have two updates every day from now on. If not, I'll just write more in the future.

At 2:30 AM, Yuanxiao yawned silently and opened his eyes.

The iron chain locked around his wrist was attached to L's hand on the other end. Unless he cut off his own hand, he couldn't move more than five meters away from L. If he did, L would seize the opportunity to capture and imprison him.

This was the result of their mutual agreement.

Within five meters, L's life was under his control. Conversely, outside this room, the FBI was everywhere. Under a barrage of gunfire, even a martial arts expert like him would be riddled with bullets. Only in this way could they truly cooperate with peace of mind.

Since arriving in this world, he had been thinking about how to gain the greatest benefit.

According to the conventional methods of professionals, it was through killing and more killing. As long as he killed, he would disrupt the world's trajectory, disrupting the operation of the world's essence, thus obtaining the essence power that the world's essence used to repair the leakage in the story world.

As the warning on the professional panel stated, the moment the protagonist died was the end of this world.

However, the butterfly effect caused by his actions might lead to Yagami Light's premature death. This required L's power to protect Yagami Light, ensuring he didn't die before he achieved his goal.

There were three methods for professionals to invade and benefit from the fantasy world.

The first method was to disrupt the plot and obtain the essence power that the world's essence used to repair the leakage in the world. This was the source of all professionals' power and the most important gain in the fantasy world for professionals today.

The second method was to complete tasks assigned by the Golden Continent's Golden Will.

However, this world was a free world, and he wasn't a true professional, so this path was blocked.

The last method was to kill the life forms in the fantasy world, which had a certain probability of dropping treasure chests of varying levels. These chests might contain skills or equipment that the deceased possessed in life.

Killing Yagami Light, Yuanxiao immediately dismissed this idea.

Even if a treasure chest dropped, he could imagine what would be inside: some school supplies, a few of Yagami Light's clothes, or even some high school subject skill scrolls.

Apart from that, there would be nothing valuable.

The Death Note belonged to the Shinigami, so only by killing the Shinigami could he obtain it.

With the power of an ordinary person, whether using firearms or his martial arts skills, killing a Shinigami was just a joke. One misstep, and he might end up in the Shinigami's hands, unable to escape. Many professionals had died in the fantasy world because they didn't understand this.

"But, I really underestimated these natives, didn't I?"

Yuanxiao sat up and looked at L, who was sleeping on the tatami three meters away, with a helpless sneer.

L only saw him as an extremely skilled killer, which wasn't wrong. However, L didn't know that he was also a peak-level martial artist in the realm of hidden strength, capable of hearing even the slightest sound within a radius of several meters.

For the past two hours, the FBI outside the house had been preparing a big meal for him.

At the same time, in the adjacent room, over a dozen FBI agents were ready.

"The negotiator, everything is prepared as you requested," an FBI agent said coldly.

"I understand. Conduct the final check; we only have one chance," the negotiator said seriously.

Sitting in front of the computer, the negotiator nodded in satisfaction as he watched the simulated rescue and capture process on the screen.

Kira was no longer the most important thing in their minds. Capturing this mysterious person was the priority. By capturing him, they could learn more about the Death Note, including valuable information on how to deal with the Shinigami.

Bang!

A light bulb exploded, plunging the room into darkness.

"What's happening?"

The negotiator lowered his voice and said angrily.

"It's likely that our equipment is drawing too much power, causing voltage instability and burning out the light bulb. However, this won't affect the equipment's operation. The power supply is sufficient, and this is just an accident," the FBI equipment installer said in a low voice.

"Don't let any more accidents happen," the negotiator repeated.

No one noticed that at the moment the light bulb exploded, all the surveillance cameras went dark for an instant.

In that instant, Yuanxiao did three things.

First, he flipped over and knocked out the sleeping L. Second, he cut off L's left hand and stopped the blood flow. Third, he swapped their sleeping positions.

In that split second, Yuanxiao's entire body turned purplish-red.

This was the result of pushing his hidden strength to the limit, causing muscle damage and ruptured capillaries.

However, he had to do these things in an instant because there was likely an infrared thermal imaging device in the other room monitoring them. He only had the first moment of darkness to swap positions with L.

"Hehe! If you don't act quickly, L will bleed to death."

Yuanxiao lay down and laughed coldly. This time, he came mainly to protect Yagami Light and use L's power to do things he couldn't. However, he had overlooked one thing: he underestimated the world's essence's rejection of outsiders.

This rejection meant that everyone in this world would have an invisible hostility towards him.

Fortunately, he had prepared for an escape in advance. Although the FBI was formidable, they still fell short of capturing him.

Yuanxiao turned over and looked at the multifunctional electronic watch on his wrist. It was 2:45 AM. If nothing went wrong, the FBI in the adjacent room would break through the wall in fifteen minutes, rescuing L and capturing him in an instant.

The seconds ticked by, and it was 3:00 AM, the best time for humans to fall into a deep sleep.

In the adjacent room, the lights were on, and two large machines started up. One of the strange machines had a row of iron pillars, each about ten centimeters in diameter, arranged in two rows, two meters high. Under the pressure of the machine behind it, the iron pillars hammered the wall with a loud roar.

Bang!

In an instant, the entire building shook, and half of the wall between the two rooms was violently torn apart.

The terrifying impact shattered the wall, and the powerful kinetic energy sent concrete and rebar debris flying into the adjacent room. These objects first hit the opposite wall and then fell, burying the unconscious L on the tatami.

"These lunatics..."

Yuanxiao drew a sharp breath, watching helplessly as L was severely injured by the debris.

If he hadn't swapped positions with L, he would have been the one severely injured. In that case, not only would he be unable to continue holding L hostage, but being buried under the debris would make escape impossible.

At that moment, the second machine in the adjacent room started roaring.

This was a large gas welding cutting device, nearly four meters high with dozens of nozzles arranged in a row. It sprayed a high-temperature flame along the destroyed wall, forming a wall of fire between Yuanxiao and L.

"These lunatics..."

Yuanxiao was speechless. They were clearly using gas welding to form a wall of fire, turning half of the room into a cage, trapping him inside, and then easily rescuing L. Next, he would face a row of automatic weapons aimed at him.
