"People are also claiming they themselves are supernatural beings." Things that did exist in Near's world, though he didn't point that out yet. This man likely still believed on some level that he was humoring Near, if only to explain to himself why he had listened this long. It was likely only a matter of time before he proclaimed the whole thing nonsense and stalked off, but Near saw no reason to push the man to that point with any additional force. Thus, the shinigami which he knew to exist were left unmentioned.
So too was why he believed the account of the anonymous. Though Mello had made his identity known, Near of course wouldn't reveal that connection carelessly. Even if Yagami Light had vanished, something that had yet to be confirmed beyond the bulletin and Matsuda Touta, Mikami Teru was still present, and thus a threat.
"As I said, the continuation of this system is unverified, since I don't believe the dates were checked last night on the magazines. But they were checked for two consecutive nights--as we perceive them." Near picked up his car, having it drive over two imaginary hills, the peaks of which reached the level of his eyes. "These checks indicated that instead of mere hours, three months of time had passed in the duration."
Mello's conversation was taking an interesting turn. Was Mello going to attempt to have Matsuda follow him? If L were still himself, it'd be difficult to accomplish; Near knew this from his interactions with the Japanese task force, and simply because Matsuda hadn't been the one to call him. But with L's condition and his statements to the detective in the Chapel only days ago, it was likely that Matsuda was seeking a new form of guidance. Had Mello been revealed to Matsuda as L's heir, then? There'd be no other reason to compel the approach; Mello was guilty of the elder Yagami's death. That alone wouldn't endear any members of the task force to Mello.
Able to eavesdrop and consider without any impact on his own conversation, Near continued. His conversation might well end in a few moments, however, depending on the man's reaction to his statement. "As for how I know about the medicines, the answer is simple. I was taken from a time after 2009."
