NARCISSUS, [Y/N]

"Would you look at that! Narcy managed to solve another cold case! The Doumoto family is grateful that they're willing to give you one hundred million yen!"

I crinkled my face before chuckling. "Aoyagi, don't call me that. I'm glad I helped them. Now they're assured that their son's killer is put into life imprisonment. May his soul finally rest in peace and ascend to heaven..." I gazed at the computer monitor, smiling.  "Justice will prevail no matter what."

"That's our girl! But, what will you do with that amount of money?"

"Of course I will donate it to those in need. I already have enough money. Having too much money for me can get boring."

My male companion smiled fondly at me, nodding vigorously. Aoyagi had always looked up to me ever since I started working in the detective field. He said he aspired to be as good as I was. His deduction skills weren't exactly the most reliable, but it's fine. You can't always start off too good at something. Even I went through that cringey phase. .

..Ew.

But it's all in the past. The past is nothing but a vague finished ordeal that is never coming back.

"Oi! Narcy! Yagi! Turn on the television! J is speaking!"

We obliged as Noka frantically approached us. The synthetic voice on  the monitor had started speaking.

"Kira.. It's been months. Why aren't you killing me? Oh, hah, you can't! Can you? Why is that? Here I thought you can eliminate every single criminal. But you can't even stop me! Stop us! More and more innocent people are dying. And you're doing nothing to stop it. You truly don't deserve the recognition you're getting. You don't deserve your acolytes who've given you nothing but fidelity. And what are you doing for them? Nothing. You are plain and pathetic, Kira. You cannot defeat the most wanted criminal in the world."

"I don't like where this is going..." Noka commented, nervously biting her nails.

"None of us do." Aoyagi sighed, follwed by me. "The audacity of this bastard."

I placed my fingers on my upper lip, peeling the skin off it while attentively listening to the tape. This was interesting... though not in a good way. Never. J was challenging Kira again. It felt as if everything was just a movie about Kira and J's battle, where we, the audience, had to watch. Unfortunately J kept on breaking the fourth wall and targeting innocent watchers.

Intriguing, but scary. Scary because it wasn't scripted or anything. It was real. A perilous, terrifying reality. J added more chaos in this already disgusting world where the innocents were being killed for no particular reason.

It's scary for me to be able to read J's ideals. I was confident that they were killing people just because they wanted to challenge Kira. They wanted more chaos—to let out the evil Kira was trying to prevent.

Honestly, I did not agree with Kira's ways of 'cleansing' the world. It was childish. It didn't make him any different from the murderers he was getting rid of. The worst part was that was he even sure that the people he's killing were actual criminals? The amount of falsely convicted suspects weren't scarce.

But if the optimist in me would speak, she'd say she couldn't put a blind eye to the fact that his works definitely lessened global crime rates. I almost believed that the world had become a better place—but no.

I know what opinion I stand by. I know that this world can never run out of evil people. It is bound to be that way. It's not a virus you can get rid of even after several researches for the cure. There is no cure to begin with when evil is etched in humanity, hidden within our veins given to us by our ancestors, by nature itself. The evil who is hiding, waiting for the right moment to show itself. The evil, growing larger day by day as the weak succumbs to it helplessly.

But right, who was I to detest? The world was rooting for him and his divine deeds. It's hard to brush it away, but since I couldn't do anything, whatever. In a another perspective what he was doing made it seem like we're allies. We catch criminals, Kira punishes them.

"I anticipate the hour of my death by the hands of you, Kira."

The broadcast ended. My subordinates kept on barking rants while I stayed silent, blankly staring at the screen.

It was déjà vu. It reminded me of the "L vs. Kira" era.

I wondered what's that dude up to nowadays. I barely heard of him. If he were to go against the two of them, it would be a worldwide conflict—well, J vs. Kira was already a grave problem to the whole world.

"Tch!"

I skinned my lip a bit too much that it ended up bleeding. I scratched my head and looked up, resting my chin on the back of my hands.

Petty J. Petty ideals. What a petty world full of petty people! Killing people just to prove Kira's ideals wrong. Utterly disgusting that I could almost, and wish to actually vomit on their face.

Please Kira, if you do kill them, let me vomit on them first.

And apparently J had supporters too. Loads of them. They had their minions scattered across continents. Minions who were willing to be sacrifices for the sake of J's true identity's safety. They'd go as far as killing themselves via pills hidden in their mouths after being caught and forced to reveal information, the latter which resulted in miserable failure. Yes, those dumb fucks were that devoted to that baby coward.

My thoughts were stressing me out. I thought I might need a punching bag to release my anger.

I stared at my computer, about to open a file when surprisingly, the screen turned blank white.

No way someone hacked into my sacred computer! I needed not panic as I thought it was just a prank by my other subordinates.

I thought Kira was the one who gave me a mini heart attack when a calligraphic L floated on the center of the screen. I hastily put on the headphones and positioned the mic.

I was just thinking of him earlier. Now what did he want?

"Pardon me if I shocked you, but I need to talk to you, Narcissus. I would like you to work with me on a case. . .

The Jack the Ripper II case."
