Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

Silence fell once more, and the last rays of the setting sun were completely swallowed by the horizon.

Seeing that Ilya hadn't said anything for a while, Lin Shiye stood up to take his leave, but suddenly, his clothes were gently tugged.

He turned around and saw that the girl had also stood up from her chair, her ruby-like eyes looking straight at him, her tone carrying an unyielding stubbornness.

"I don't want to go home tonight."

"What do you mean?" Lin Shiye was stunned for two seconds before belatedly realizing what he meant.

"You're not planning to spend the night at my place, are you?"

Ilya didn't speak, but nodded seriously.

"You really are..." This time, Lin Shiye was caught off guard.

"Brother Shi Ye, you'll take me in, right?" The girl put her hands behind her back, swayed slightly, and began to act cute in a soft voice.

I can't do anything with you. Sit tight. That's a clutch situation from the Cologne Major that will be etched into CS history. Masixi left-clicked to death, a desperate burst of fire... Oh wait, wrong channel.

"Alright, follow me." Lin Shiye waved his hand, turned around and led the way, but after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ilya tilted her head in confusion.

"Hmm...some fun is coming my way, I'm going to check it out," Lin Shiye said.

"Someone's home. Here's the address, why don't you go there yourself?"

Upon hearing that there was something fun to be had, Ilya became interested as well.

"No need, I'll go with you!"

"Okay." Lin Shiye picked up Ilya and carried her on his shoulder, then disappeared from the spot in an instant.

That familiar, nauseating smell... I've finally caught him, the real person!

Inside a teaching building.

Yuji Itadori is fiercely elbowing a large jellyfish.

"Don't make any more mistakes, Shunping!"

"Mind your own business!" The black-haired man, whose hairstyle resembled Yu Ishigami's, had a gloomy expression.

"What do you know about me anyway?"

The blue-purple jellyfish lashed down with its tentacles, and Huzhang spun around and flipped to barely dodge it. However, the concrete wall behind him exploded, creating a hole, and rubble fell down in a shower.

"I just killed some scoundrels and parasites! So... don't get in my way!" Yoshino Junpei roared.

He didn't want to hurt Huzhang, but having already killed someone, there was no turning back.

Itadori clenched his fist, his magical power surging beneath his muscles, staring intently at the enormous jellyfish shikigami before him. Suddenly, the nonchalant admonition of Gojo Satoru popped into his mind:

If you encounter a summoned shikigami, just attack the caster directly.

That's right! Since fists can't break this giant jellyfish, let's just beat Shunping awake!

He made up his mind, pushed off with his feet, and shot straight towards Shunping like a cannonball.

"Yodogetsu!" Shunpei shouted in surprise. The jellyfish instantly lashed out several tentacles to block in front of him, but Itachi nimbly twisted his waist and dodged them all, getting right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing a fist the size of a sandbag heading straight for his face, Yoshino Junpei hurriedly summoned his shikigami to block it in front of him.

boom!

A muffled thud exploded as the attack was completely blocked by the jellyfish's body. However, the brute force still ripped through the shikigami, sending Shunpei flying and crashing heavily onto the floor, sliding a considerable distance away.

"Why... why do you have to get in my way?" Yoshino Junpei struggled to his feet, his voice trembling with tears.

"Human hearts are dark and ugly! Those people don't deserve to live in this world!"

"I don't understand what you're saying. Perhaps those people really deserve to die, but..." Itachi said, looking at Shunpei's figure in front of him.

"Is it really worth giving up all the good things in life? Once you kill someone, the boundaries of life become blurred, and even the people you cherish most will gradually drift away!"

"Can you really say something like 'the human heart is dark' to your mother?!"

Upon hearing this, Shunping couldn't help but recall his mother's gentle smile, the awkwardness when he first met Itsuji, and the warmth when the three of them ate together... Those few moments of light during the days of bullying flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

But the cold reality pulled him back the next second.

"If it weren't like this, if it weren't like this..." Tears streamed down her cheeks and fell onto the ground, Shunping's voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Have my mother and I been cursed by the hearts of men?!"

Huzhang's pupils contracted.

"Why...why am I always the one who gets hurt?" Shunpei clenched his fists.

Why does all misfortune have to befall me? Even my mother met with tragedy!

He roared, and the jellyfish shikigami reappeared behind him, its two tentacles sprouting sharp spikes that pierced straight towards Itadori Yuujin.

This time, however, Itachi did not dodge and took the blow head-on with his body.

When fresh blood came into view, Yoshino Junpei froze.

"Why...why didn't you dodge?"

The jellyfish shikigami dissipated uncontrollably into the air. Itadori gritted his teeth and endured the pain, slowly walking step by step to him and squatting down.

"I'm sorry, I knew nothing, yet I was still spouting nonsense." His voice was soft, cautiously probing.

"Come to the vocational college, Shunping."

"With strong teachers and reliable companions, we will definitely find the person who killed your mother and make them pay!"

Shunping just shed tears, his lips moved but he didn't say a word.

Just as Itajō was about to say something more, a slow, leisurely sound of footsteps came from the stairwell. He looked up and saw a tall, gray-haired man with stitches all over his face slowly walking down the stairs.

Human? No… no, it is!

"Nice to meet you." A playful smile appeared on Zhenren's lips.

"The vessel for Sukuna".

As soon as he finished speaking, its arm suddenly swelled and grew larger, and before Tiger Cane could react, it slammed him against the wall behind him.

"Master, wait a minute!" Shunping hurriedly tried to stop him, but Huzhang was already firmly pressed against the wall and couldn't move.

Am I an idiot?!

Itachi cursed himself inwardly: a humanoid cursed spirit with a stitched-up face—wasn't this exactly what Nanami had said?

"Shunping, don't go near it!"

"Run! Please, run!"

"Katana, calm down." Shunpei stood there helplessly, looking around, and subconsciously wanted to explain.

"Mr. Zhenren isn't a bad person..."

He froze halfway through his sentence.

Bad...person?

The things the real person had done flashed through his mind. If judged by normal standards of right and wrong, then the other person was clearly a thoroughly bad person.

Why would such a bad person be kind to me alone?

"Thinking too deeply can sometimes lead to more serious consequences than thinking too little." At this moment, Makoto's hand had already silently landed on Junpei's shoulder.

"Shunping is the second biggest idiot after those you consider idiots."

"That's why you died." It leaned close to Shunping's stiff ear and chuckled.

"Transformation through non-action".

The curse power entered Shunping's body and began to alter his soul, but the next second, nothing happened.

"Huh?" The real person was dumbfounded.

Shunping finally realized what was happening, panting heavily as he quickly took several steps back to create some distance. Huzhang also took the opportunity to break free of his restraints, stepping in front of Shunping and firmly protecting him behind him.

"Why is my technique ineffective against you?" The master frowned, looking at the other party with confusion.

"Yes, why?" Lin Shiye put his arm around its shoulder and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"That's so strange."

The real person froze on the spot.

"Really...?" Cold sweat slid down his forehead, and he couldn't help but force a smile that looked worse than crying.

Lin Shiye looked at it.

"Are you laughing at my mother?"
