71.42% Death Note : A New Story / Chapter 20: The Plan

Chapter 20: The Plan

It was already seven in the evening by the time I had come up with a feasible plan.

The idea that I had in mind was to write a name on the death note with a pencil. It may sound stupid, but it's ingenious nonetheless. I would tear out a page of the death note, and I would continue to write names on the page. After the page would be filled, I'd erase it and write another name on the same page. That way, the notebook would never end. I'd be writing names for all eternity, and I'd still get away with it.

However, this wasn't the main thought process behind the plan. If I continually killed people for one day, and didn't write as many the other day, due to college activities, homework, eating dinner, etc. I'd easily be caught. The time I would pass doing other activities, could be noted. Based on the timings of the deaths, anyone could trim down the approximate location. They could assume the location to be a hoax, a way to mislead them, nonetheless, they would still investigate the city to be sure.

The only way I would escape suspicion, would be by giving the death note to someone else. When the death note would be in someone else's possession, I obviously wouldn't be suspected. I'd give the death note to someone who would indefinitely write a lot of names; a psychopath.

As the psychopath would write names aimed at a different group of people, anyone observing the deaths wouldn't be able to track down a specific time a person would write in the death note. For example, while I'd be having dinner, the psychopath might be writing more names. This would make it hard for anyone to track down the owner of the death note. And for some reason, they were capable of doing so, they would catch on to the psychopath and not me. This was all assuming that they'd catch on to the way the death note would work.

Nonetheless, for this plan to function successfully, I'd require three things to be true about the death note. One, after passing the death note to someone else, it shouldn't have any side effects. Two, after writing down a name and erasing it, I should be able to write down another on the same location of the page. Three, tearing out a page of the death note, and writing a name on that page, should bring the death of the mentioned person. If the torn page of the death note didn't function similar to the death note, my plan would fail.

I opened up a new page to start experimenting on the three requirements.
