Matsuda failed to implement his plan in the end, and Keisuke Kaguchi died on the second day as the new chairman.

On that day, he attended the press conference of the new chairman of the board of directors, dressed brightly, with suits and leather shoes, and his hair was meticulously fixed behind his head by pomade.There are crowds of people around, and it is quite hot.He sat in the most central position, even though he pretended to be friendly, he still behaved like a high-class man, and he said nothing more than flashy and beautiful words.The reporter's questions were obviously arranged in advance, and the flattery and flattery interactions are all methods that politicians are familiar with.

As the ratings climbed, everything went perfectly.Huo is complacent, and has already constructed a beautiful picture of the future in his mind. His huge head is only filled with three things: power, money, and women.In fact, it is difficult for him to sort these three things. A capable person, such as him, does not need to make extra choices at all, so he naturally decides to firmly hold these three options in his hands.

From the moment he received the Death Note, he knew that he had dominated everything.So he fell madly into the infinite fantasy and longing for the future, and then he heard a laugh from someone in the crowd.The sneer was short, but extremely piercing, so that even in the noisy scene, he immediately caught it.He was displeased, but vaguely felt that he didn't know where the fear came from.Carefully peeping to find the source, all he could see was the flashing lights, which made him dizzy.

"Time is up."

The coldness spreading from the soles of his feet made Huokou shiver abruptly. He was ashamed of his inexplicable panic, and tried hard to restrain his face, his expression became stiff and distorted.He looked around blankly, but there was only white, dizzying light, like harsh reflections on coarse-grained film.

"The time has come," said the grim man.

Huokou wanted to question him loudly, but he lost the opportunity forever.The chair fell on its side, and he fell to the ground like a beetle that was overturned.Chaotian's siblings struggled for a while, and soon lost all sound.

Huokou Qingsuke died of a heart attack.

When Yagami came out of the bathroom, L was squatting on the chair in front of the table.The screen is black and the power light is off.He just stared at the dark screen for an unknown how long, at least during the time he was taking a shower, L never moved.

The victim's information submitted by Matsuda was scattered and spread out on the desktop.Some names were circled with a black signature pen, Ye Shenyue knew that L had a new direction.The death of Kesuke Keokuchi means the breaking of the clues, but the word dead end never appears on L - because he can always move forward.

Ye Shenyue touched L's shoulder, and the outline of his shoulder blade was under the palm.He rubbed along the uneven lines, and the touch felt like a hard stone sculpture.

"What are you thinking."

"I'm thinking of a guy," L said, "who's always one step ahead because he's already arranged everything."

"Him? KIRA?"

"You clearly know I'm not talking about KIRA," L looked back at Yagami Yue, "As for who—what do you say, Yue."

"Who could it be..." Ye Shenyue looked down at L, who was asking seriously. L's expression could not be said to be serious, but his expressionless face always gave people such an illusion.

"Pretentious."

Ye Shenyue's voice disappeared in the grinding between her lips and teeth.

He felt peaceful, he had neither worry nor fear, he didn't think about anything.Maybe L knew it a long time ago, he already knew everything - Ye Shenyue did not guess like this all the time.

But he is still greedily absorbing, greedy for a moment of amnesia, temporarily forgetting those so-called "fate" and so-called "struggle". He may be more immersed in this "game" than he imagined.He felt a slightly sweet taste on the tip of his tongue, perhaps chocolate hazelnuts.Before it could melt in L's mouth, it was swept away by the foreign invaders.

"You should eat less sweets, I feel like my teeth have been badly eroded lately..."

Ye Shenyue's voice was very low, almost raving, and the words lingered between their lips that were constantly pressing together, buzzing

Tremors, buzzing in the chest.

How strange, L thought.He was soberly aware that Ye Shenyue did this on purpose, but he still clearly felt his desire.

"You can choose to kiss less or brush your teeth more," L said.

Ye Shenyue smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved like crescent moons, unexpectedly there was a touch of tenderness.The eyes are filled with a different color from the past, it is a smudged golden color, like malt stirred by the wind in the sun.It swayed, swayed, stirred at the tip of his heart.

"You really have no interest."

"I don't admit it."

Tired of squatting, L simply stood up.Ye Shenyue was a little surprised that L's height when he stood up was about the same height as him, even though the latter was still arched, his eyes were still at his level. L tugged at the metal chain connecting the wrists of the two, "I can only say that my taste is a little different."

There was a towel on Ye Shenyue's neck, water was dripping from the tips of her hair, and the surface of her skin was still entangled with dense water vapor.His black pajamas were half open, exposing his bare chest to the air. L pressed his palm against the skin on his chest, the moisture grew wantonly between his fingers, and the water droplets fell on the back of his hand, disappearing in a flash.

"You look like you just got out of the rain."

L wiped Ye Shenyue's hair with a towel, "Don't catch a cold."

The little bit of gold in Ye Shenyue's eyes disappeared, and it was swallowed by the waves of the night.There is an unknown mood fluctuating, maybe a kind of melancholy, or a kind of loneliness.The chaos gradually gathered, but Ye Shenyue's eyes were a little out of focus. L felt his gaze falling on him, but also felt that Ye Shenyue's gaze seemed to penetrate his body, extending to infinity, beyond the dimension of space that humans can perceive.

L's wiping movements gradually stopped. In fact, these things didn't matter to him. He could pretend that he didn't know anything, so that they would feel at ease with each other.Once those secrets come to light, they will become a burden.

Of course, this is a sensible choice.Although people live by reason, they do not live entirely by reason.

So L thought for a while, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Shenyue did not answer, but his silence was not a rejection, he was just hesitating how to respond to L.

"What's wrong?" L asked again.

Ye Shenyue turned his head to one side, avoiding L's first shallow kiss, but he did not refuse the second one.The kiss landed on the corner of his lips, as if being gently swept by a feather. The more gentle L is, the more clearly he realizes that this is an aggression that makes him throw up his armor and flee.

Sometimes Ye Shenyue feels panicked, but more often he feels indifferent - because there is nothing in his heart.There are only some remains of memories, which will eventually be buried by the wind and sand of time.

"I had a dream. I dreamed that I was in the rain and you were there."

"Didn't 'I' have an umbrella?"

"you have not."

"Is that so, so the person you dreamed about was indeed me. Then?"

Ye Shenyue pursed her lips and revealed a bewildering smile.It's as embarrassing as an "ancient smile", but it's surprisingly real.

"...I forget," he said, "I don't remember, who remembers a dream."

"Really?" L didn't seem to be very curious, and didn't intend to delve into it, "Forget it and forget it, it's just a dream."

"You know what, Moon. When I was little I lived in London, where it was always raining. Next to the orphanage was a church with a tall tower always standing beneath the clouds, topped by a huge stained-glass window with Maria .The color of the brick wall has faded, but it is still vivid. As a child, I would always lie on the window and stare at it, and then I realized something."

"It's just a symbol." L said, making a strange gesture with his pale index finger, and then it pointed back at itself, "What a coincidence, I'm also a symbol."

"I understand that even if I die, there will be many people who will take my place. One after another, they will repeat my face, repeat my actions, and replace my name. No one cares who is behind that letter, It's nobody, but it could be anybody—it always makes me feel lonely."

"Now I don't think it's that bad. A symbol that has always existed means—" L's fingers caressed Ye Shenyue's cheeks, followed by a stiff jawline, and then his fingers went around Ye Shenyue's nape of neck. L leaned closer to his face, tilted his head and kissed Ye Shenyue's lower lip lightly.

"Never mind the dream, I'm here, and I've always been here."

"And you, Moon."

L felt Ye Shenyue's lips began to tremble slightly, which was clearly his shock and astonishment.He could not utter a word, only the chaotic breathing, blowing carelessly like the wind in the wilderness.Ye Shenyue felt that indescribable feeling came back again, it was flowing warmly, gurgling in the blood vessels.He vaguely heard something collapsing, like the roar of a glacier collapsing into the deep sea.

Ye Shenyue still maintained his superficial composure, his eyes were almost cold, and his lips were as tight as a razor.

"I'm going to die."

L looked at him as if he had said something stupid, and he looked at him amusedly, "I will die too."

Ye Shenyue is convinced that L knows nothing about his fate spinning around in place, but he also feels that even if L knew, he would say so.After a long time, he finally felt a strong emotion in his heart, so complicated that he couldn't tell what it was.

"This is wrong." Ye Shenyue heard herself say in a hoarse voice.

"But it's already started."

People are like this, even if they know the ending, they will still make the same choice.Ye Shenyue feels that the fog of the past is gradually dissipating. Maybe Ruk is right. It may not be a coincidence that he chose Akimoto to cooperate with his actions. Doomed.

"Yes, it started, and it will never end when it starts. Ending a war is always much more difficult than starting a war." Ye Shenyue's voice was very soft, "None of us knows the ending, you now It’s not too late to stop.”

He said as if he was about to retreat, L stretched out his hand to clamp Ye Shenyue's arm, Ye Shenyue never thought that L's fingers would have such a strong force, the strength of the fingertips was separated by a thin layer of fabric, deep Embedded deep in his flesh.

"I know you're not a deserter, Ye Shenyue. Why put on airs, is this your way of trying to get you?"

Hearing the words, Ye Shenyue first laughed a few times, and then he started to laugh out loud, the end of his eyes were wet with tears from laughing. L didn't say a word, he quietly watched him laugh from beginning to end, he laughed miserably, and in the end even his voice became hoarse, his throat was almost oozing blood, and the pain was unbearable.

Then L was suddenly pulled forward by a brute force, and Ye Shenyue grabbed the collar of his T-shirt with both hands. He was so hard that L's collar was deformed by him and kneaded into a ball.They were very close, nose to nose, confused and unable to distinguish each other.The lingering rhyme of the laughter was not exhausted, Ye Shenyue was panting violently, the warm breath that she exhaled escaped in the cramped space, but her eyes were strangely calm, and the ice blue burst out from the depths.

"Let's do it," he said hoarsely.
