Light woke up and saw L standing before him. His heart skipped a beat! How could Light’s plan have been reduced to dust?


L sat beside the bars in a hunched, crouched position and spoke,

“It’s over this time, Light! You thought that knowing my name and writing it in the Death Note would bring about my death. But you eventually forgot that even the Death Note has its limits.

“You see, when Misa Amane joined forces with me, she explained everything about the Death Note and the Shinigami responsible for it. I asked Misa to inquire about the Death Note from the Shinigami, and we discovered a rule:

When two people write the same person’s name in two different Death Notes, the first note that is filled in will take effect, regardless of the time of death.

All I had to do was ask Misa to use her Shinigami Eyes to see my remaining lifespan and write my name in the Death Note just a few minutes before my actual death.”

L leaned closer to Light’s face and whispered, “You’re the smartest person I’ve ever faced, but it’s over now!”


Light smirked. “You really think I’ve lost?”


Until next time...
