In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

"Hello, Kato-kun, my name is Chen Yi."

"Please give me your guidance, Chen." The other party replied indifferently.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened for the rest of the time, and Kato Megumi, who sat behind him, didn't speak to him either. He just endured it until school ended.

"Hachiman, aren't you going to the Service Club today?" Chen Yi slung his guitar bag over his shoulder and glanced at Hikigaya, who, as usual, didn't ask if he needed to come along.

"It's not because of the evil spirits, I've been picking my sister up from school lately," Hachiman explained.

"If we can't see it, there's no need to worry too much... No, being cautious is definitely a good thing." Chen Yi abruptly changed his words halfway through, because he suddenly realized that he didn't really have the right to say that.

"That's all for now, Chen. See you tomorrow." Hachiman waved and walked out of the classroom.

......

"What is a workplace visit?" Chen Yi asked, taking a sip from his cup.

"Didn't Hiratsuka-sensei tell you? The school will organize a workplace visit activity around mid-May, and you'll need to form a team to participate in social practice or something..." Yui Yuigahama explained.

"..."

Now that you mention it, it seems that Hiratsuka-sensei did indeed mention something about work...

"So, it means we need to visit and learn from companies, right?" A social practice activity, oh, I see.

Chen Yi understood.

"That's roughly the idea. Have you decided who you'd like to team up with?" Kasumigaoka asked.

"High school sophomores are going too?" Chen Yi glanced at Kasumigaoka.

“It’s organized once a year, and both first- and second-year high school students participate,” Yukinoshita replied casually, holding a book in her hand as usual.

"Who will I team up with...? Do I know anyone in my class?" Chen Yi counted on his fingers, no more than one hand.

"Chen-kun, would you like to try teaming up with me?" This was Kasumigaoka taking advantage of the situation, with Yotsuya Miko interrupted as she was about to speak.

"Let's talk about it later. I didn't understand any of the activities during the workplace visit. I'll ask Hiratsuka-sensei tomorrow first."

P.S.: I'm giving a shout-out to the author of the book "Anime Crossover: Welcome to My Dungeon" (or similar title).

Reincarnated as a Slime

Lin Ye acquires the unique skills [Omniscient] and [Omnipotent], and also finds Rimuru eating grass.

"I am invincible, OVO!"

......

A dungeon with absolutely nothing in it.

Lacking a city lord, they randomly summoned an unlucky soul from another world, granting him the unique skill "Transmigrator".

"What kind of place is this?!"

Books by veteran authors, good read! (。???)ノ?

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Sixty-Five - The Trap

"Commander, he's catching up," Kroos said, following behind Chen Yi.

I deliberately didn't take Yotsuya home today; I was setting a trap to get rid of him.

Chen Yi maintained his pace and acted according to the previously set plan.

I turned and went into a coffee shop, sat down, ordered a latte, and pretended to play on my phone.

Chen Yi glanced casually at the doorway, threw the straw packaging into the trash can, and then tossed the 'Soldier Ant-1' into a corner out of the surveillance camera's view.

'Klukay, go.' Chen Yi didn't choose to control the mechanical mouse himself. In this environment, he was just bait, and Klukay's situational awareness was much stronger.

"Commander, the enemy has stopped about 35 meters east of the café." Kroos's voice rang in his mind, and at the same time, his phone automatically opened the screen of the mechanical mouse.

A red circle appeared on the screen, and the image was locked on the stalker.

“Light jacket, boonie hat, loose jeans…” After noting down some basic characteristics, Chen Yi gulped down the latte, which was still warm.

Chen Yi casually opened the map and began planning the route, while taking out drone parts from his guitar bag and starting to assemble them on the spot.

He worked quickly, and in a few moments, he put the assembled 'Dandelion-1' back into his backpack.

"Klukka, come back. We can proceed with the next step." Chen Yi called out in his mind. After waiting for a while, he noticed the mechanical mouse bumping into his shoe. He squatted down, put it away, and then left the cafe.

"Commander, what's the plan next?" Kroos asked.

"Go into the alleys. If he doesn't come, then follow him instead," Chen Yi replied with a leisurely gait.

......

The international student appeared at the school gate, a little later than usual, and was not accompanied by a girl as usual.

"Boss, he didn't go home with his girlfriend today." Watanabe Tetsuya opened LINE and reported to his sugar daddy.

"I understand, keep up." Yukinoshita leaned on the balcony railing and glanced at the balcony of the house next door.

The family didn't grow any plants; their balcony was piled with cardboard boxes and other miscellaneous items.

That was Chen Yi's home.

She had a feeling that she might find out what kind of person Chen Yi was today.

On the other side, Watanabe Tetsuya followed leisurely, maintaining a safe distance.

The lesson he learned last time made him more cautious. He no longer followed him openly and relentlessly, but instead chose to play it safe, only remembering the bare minimum of his whereabouts so as not to be shaken off.

"Boss, the other person entered a coffee shop alone. I don't know if they were meeting someone they know, so I don't dare to approach them rashly." Watanabe Tetsuya stopped and watched the coffee shop entrance from a distance, with no intention of going any further.

"Why don't you go in?" Yukinoshita asked.

"The other side has a strong counter-surveillance awareness. If I choose to enter, the probability of being discovered is very high," Watanabe Tetsuya explained.

“Counter-surveillance…” Yang Nai glanced at the balcony of the other party’s house again, but due to the angle, he could not see the furnishings inside.

'Okay.'

The boss didn't press the issue too hard, which was quite humane. Watanabe Tetsuya breathed a small sigh of relief.

A dozen minutes later, a familiar figure was reflected in Watanabe Tetsuya's glasses. He put away his phone, lit a cigarette, and followed.

Several times he narrowly escaped detection, thinking he was about to be discovered, but the other party made no move.

Watanabe Tetsuya stopped, opened the map, and found that the international student was only about one kilometer away from home.

"They didn't even notice me today?" Watanabe Tetsuya gradually relaxed, then remembered the last time he was discovered.

Could it be a scam?

They hadn't gone far when the other person suddenly turned and entered a small alley.

"?" Watanabe Tetsuya's heart tightened instinctively, and he quickened his pace.

"Is he planning to... take a shortcut home?" Watanabe Tetsuya glanced at the map briefly; the other person was generally heading towards the apartment.

"Boss, I'm not sure if they've spotted me. They've taken a small alley... For safety's sake, I don't think it's necessary to continue following them." Watanabe Tetsuya quickly typed a few lines with one hand and sent them to Yukinoshita Haruno.

'You want to breach the contract?'

"I understand, boss." With a sigh, Watanabe put away his phone.

Hurry up and catch up. He adjusted his hat.

......

"Commander, the enemy has 'taken the bait'." Kluge's 'Soldier Ant-1' stood at the alley entrance, keeping a close eye on the man's every move.

"Phew..." Hold on, I'll declare victory in 40 seconds.

Hiding in a dead corner of the alley, Chen Yi leaned against the wall and looked up at the narrow sky.

The weather wasn't particularly good today; there was no sun, but it was still quite cool.

Footsteps sounded.

The stalker walked right past Chen Yi without noticing him at all.

"Hey bro, need a light?" Chen Yi didn't miss the chance to take advantage of the other guy's back being turned and stepped on his knee.

Watanabe Tetsuya immediately knelt on the ground.

"Damn it!" Watanabe Tetsuya immediately prepared to retaliate, but as he turned around, an elbow suddenly loomed large in his field of vision.

Before he could block it, Watanabe Toru took the elbow strike head-on, seeing stars.

Chen Yi pressed his advantage, continuing to unleash powerful punches, targeting his opponent's joints.

Although both arms were not fully engaged due to old injuries... but who was Chen Yi? He was a tough guy who had experienced all kinds of dangers. The time it took for him to throw two punches was enough for him to get used to the pain of his old injuries, and then his adrenaline started to kick in.

"Stop hitting me... Brother, I was wrong!" Watanabe Tetsuya shouted, raising his hand to protect his head, completely powerless to fight back.

"Don't look up, turn around," Chen Yi said in a low voice, slowly straightening up.

"You dog... Red bean paste private horse." Watanabe Tetsuya planned to retaliate when the other party relaxed, but he raised his head and then lowered it again.

Chen Yi flipped his right hand, and the cold blade of the red hand axe pressed against the skin of Watanabe Tetsuya's neck.

Where did this thing come from? Watanabe Tetsuya's pupils dilated in shock, and he obediently turned around, maintaining his kneeling posture.

"Who sent you?" Chen Yi pulled out several cable ties from inside his coat and tied Watanabe Tetsuya's hands tightly behind his back.

“…” Watanabe Tetsuya remained silent.

"Not going to talk?" Chen Yi took a cell phone from Watanabe Tetsuya's body and turned it on.

"What's the password?" Chen Yi asked, looking down at him, holding an axe in one hand and a phone in the other.

“Commander, his phone password is…” Kroos replied.

She had already seen and remembered it when she followed the tram last time.

"Okay." Chen Yi typed in and unlocked the screen.

"!" Watanabe Tetsuya was truly shocked. This boy knew his phone password without any interrogation? Is he even human?

"Brother, brother! Stop! You can't afford to mess with that person!" Watanabe Tetsuya recalled the details of his previous conversation with the sugar daddy and suddenly realized that the sugar daddy might be some big shot, so he quickly tried to defend himself.

"Oh? It seems like you're the one who messed things up? I think he's more likely to retaliate against you than against me, since he even sent people to follow me. I guess he's not afraid of offending me." Chen Yi said dismissively.

"..." Damn it, he was right. How could this high school student be so heartless!

Watanabe lowered his head and remained silent.

"Don't you want to elaborate? If you plead guilty and accept punishment, you might get lenient treatment from the police," Chen Yi said with a smile.

"...Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk..." Watanabe Tetsuya hesitated for a moment before choosing to confess.

"Scumbag?" Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's first reaction was that it was outrageous.

However, Chen Yi felt relieved when he thought that Yang Nai was the one behind it all.

“Brother, you don’t seem like the kind of person who would play with a young girl’s heart. How about… we pretend this never happened today, and I’ll give that young lady false information later and not interfere with your life? What do you think?” Watanabe Tetsuya’s eyes lit up, and an idea popped into his head.

"Too late, bro." Chen Yi finally couldn't hold back his laughter, opened his coat, and revealed a voice recorder tucked into the inner pocket.

"Beep—" Chen Yi turned it off and gently patted Watanabe Tetsuya's face.

"Since you're afraid of being retaliated against by that so-called young lady, why don't you just go in and sit for a few months? Oh, right, you smoke, don't you? Here you go." Chen Yi casually took another pack of cigarettes from his pocket and showed it off triumphantly.

“…” Watanabe Tetsuya remained silent.

"Fine, I've learned my lesson from being outmaneuvered by you today." There was no regret in the other person's eyes, only a sense of relief at accepting defeat.

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Sixty-Six - A Counterattack

Miss Yukinoshita, don't you have any other alternate accounts?

Chen Yi looked at the contact labeled 'Boss' in Watanabe Tetsuya's phone, clicked on the details page to view the specific information, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

He opened his phone and checked the contact whose name was 'Nakano Hina', and it was exactly the same.

Chen Yi photographed the chat logs, profile pictures, and other information, and uploaded them to the cloud.

"Alright, bro, go to jail and find a decent job when you get out." Chen Yi ignored the filth of the environment and leaned against the wall.

"Where's the lighter? Can I borrow a light?" Chen Yi pulled a cigarette from the pack and held it between his fingers.
