Beika Town, the old apartment building.
Suto was lying quietly on his bed with his eyes closed, listening to music on his phone.
The phone vibrated slightly.
He opened his eyes.
The discomfort from earlier had already weakened a lot.
Suto looked at his phone.
Eriri had sent him a message.
[Eriri: You met my mom today?]
[Suto: Yeah.]
[Suto: Your mom is really beautiful.]
[Eriri: You bastard!]
[Eriri: I’m warning you!]
[Eriri: Don’t get any ideas about my mom!]
[Suto: ???]
[Suto: You doujinshi artists really do have rich imaginations.]
[Suto: I’m just an ordinary high school student.
What could possibly happen between me and a young, rich, beautiful madam?]
Eriri lay on her bed and looked at the messages on the screen.
Her mind couldn’t help imagining some extremely ‘inappropriate’ scenes.
She quickly shook her head, throwing all that trash out of her mind.
Then she tried to change the topic.
[Eriri: You’re actually working part-time at the market?
Are you really that short on money?]
[Suto: Not as short as you’re imagining.]
[Eriri: Then why are you killing fish?]
[Suto: Killing fish is just my hobby.]
[Eriri: ?]
[Eriri: Who takes killing fish as a hobby?!]
[Eriri: You fish-killing maniac!]
…
Fish-killing maniac?
Looking at the screen, Suto found it a little funny.
How many fish had he killed?
Someone like Uncle Takagi, who had been killing fish for decades, was the real fish-killing maniac.
If possible, Suto also wanted to try killing chickens, ducks, and cows.
According to the rule that “the larger and heavier the target killed, the more coins drop,” killing a cow weighing several hundred jin should directly drop several silver coins.
Unfortunately, Toyogasaki was not Totsuki.
He had no way to meet Mito Ikumi for now, so he temporarily had no chance to kill cows.
Otherwise, he would become a cow-killing maniac.
Although the title sounded unpleasant, it was still better than being called a human-killing maniac.
Thinking of this, Suto’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
Killing people.
Since killing snakes and fish could drop coins, then killing people should also drop coins, right?
Suto naturally was not the kind of person who would do anything to pursue power.
But where was this?
Beika Town! Visit g.com for the full chapter.
The public security here was even more chaotic than Gotham City.
If he truly ran into criminals, Suto did not mind carrying out justice on Heaven’s behalf.
However, his current strength was still too weak, and he had no powerful weapons.
The only weapon in his inventory was a baseball bat.
Once he encountered a dangerous criminal carrying a knife or gun, Suto could only turn and run.
Fortunately, he had [Double Jump], so the other party probably would not be able to catch him.
Were there any people in Beika Town with high sin value but low combat power…?
His phone vibrated again.
[Eriri: Hey!
You!
Why did you suddenly stop talking?
What are you thinking about?]
[Suto: I’m thinking about how to kill people.]
[Eriri: !!!
I’m calling the police!]
[Suto: Go ahead, Kashiwagi-sensei.
But making a false report carries legal responsibility.]
[Eriri: You bastard!
There’s a limit to joking around!]
[Suto: Fine, I won’t joke anymore.
Actually, I was thinking about how to become the god of a new world.]
[Eriri: ?]
Suto closed the LINE interface and began searching online for the information he wanted—Beika Library.
The reason he remembered the name of this library so clearly was because of a classic case from the Conan anime: “The Library Murder Case.”
This case had once been called one of the scariest episodes in Conan by many people.
When Suto watched it as a child, he also felt that this case was terrifying.
Especially the library director, Tsugawa Shuji, who looked kind on the surface but had murdered a staff member after his drug trafficking was discovered, hiding the body on top of the elevator.
He had even almost killed Ayumi from the Detective Boys.
Suto quickly found the information he wanted.
“This world really does have Beika Library, and the director is Tsugawa Shuji.”
Looking at the kind-looking man’s photo on the screen, Suto narrowed his eyes.
“There hasn’t been any case of a missing staff member in the library yet, which means that staff member probably hasn’t been killed for now.
But Tsugawa Shuji should have already started drug smuggling.
Of course, I can’t rule out the influence of the world fusion causing this originally heinous criminal to not walk the criminal path in this world.”
After thinking for a moment, Suto tried using his talent skill—[Death Declaration].
[You can declare the death of a target.
The declared target will die within three days, with the cause of death being random.
This ability has a cooldown of one month.]
A strange feeling rose in his heart.
From that feeling, Suto understood that this skill did not simply sentence the other party to death.
He could also add some conditions.
This way, there would be no future worries.
Suto spoke in a low voice.
“Tsugawa Shuji, the director of Beika Library, if you have already participated in drug smuggling or committed any other criminal activity, then I hereby declare your death.”
The moment his words fell, Suto felt his heart empty slightly.
Behind the talent skill [Death Declaration], there was now an additional notification.
[Remaining cooldown: 30 days.]
It should have been used successfully.
This skill felt a little like a curse.
Or rather, it was more like a kind of judgment.
For the next three days, he only had to quietly wait for the result.
He just didn’t know whether killing someone through [Death Declaration] counted as his “kill.”
If it counted, then Tsugawa Shuji should drop money when he died, right?
Suto lowered his head in thought.
Although the cooldown of [Death Declaration] was rather long, it really did count as controlling another person’s life and death.
Compared to the Death Note, it did not have that many side effects.
And he would not be as flashy as Yagami Light, so what he did should not be seen through or discovered.
Speaking of which, did Yagami Light and L exist in this world?
Suto did not directly search their names, just in case that “world-class detective L” noticed and started watching him.
What he searched for was the school Yagami Light attended—Daikoku Private Academy High School.
The results showed that this school truly existed, and it was not too far from Toyogasaki.
Then Yagami Light and L should both exist.
The Death Note should also exist.
“I wonder what year Yagami Light is in right now.
I remember that in the anime, he picked up the Death Note in his third year of high school…”
Suto knew the plot well.
He could completely wait until Light went to school, then go to his house and take the hidden Death Note.
Would killing with the Death Note count as a “kill”?
That thing had no cooldown time.
Its “killing” efficiency was far higher than [Death Declaration], which could only be used once a month.
However, the Death Note was somewhat sinister and would involve Shinigami… Thinking about having a monster that only he could see watching him at all times, Suto couldn’t help frowning.
After all, he had far too many secrets.
Forget it.
He didn’t need the Death Note.
Besides, human size and weight could not compare to cows.
If killing people dropped fewer coins than killing cows, then there was absolutely no need to take that risk.
“I’ll wait for the result of Tsugawa Shuji’s death first.”
Holding his phone, Suto continued browsing current news.
When it reached ten at night, he prepared to turn off the lights and sleep.
Before sleeping, Suto suddenly remembered that Katsura Kotonoha had taken the initiative to send him a “good morning” message that morning.
For an introverted girl like her, sending a message once was already rare.
Suto opened LINE and took the initiative to send Kotonoha a “good night.”
After thinking for a moment, he also sent Eriri a “good night.”
A moment later, both sides replied.
[Katsura Kotonoha: Good night!]
[Eriri: ???
You’re sleeping this early?]
Suto placed his phone aside and did not bother replying to the night owl Eriri.
He was someone who needed to sleep early and wake up early.
