Chapter 288

"Teacher! Are you okay?!"

Nobita anxiously pounced on his teacher, checking him from head to toe, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

"What could possibly be wrong with me? More importantly, why are you all in my house?"

The teacher looked at Nobita and the others in utter confusion, completely clueless about what was happening.

"But teacher just watched the videotape… Doesn't that mean he'll die in seven days?"

Suneo couldn't help but voice his thoughts, his face full of sorrow.

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at their teacher with expressions of sadness and reluctance.

Although their teacher was strict and fierce, he always had their best interests at heart. In their minds, he held an important place. Now, knowing that their teacher was about to die, how could they not feel heartbroken?

"What are you all talking about?! First, you barge into my house, and now you're suddenly saying I'm going to die?! What are you trying to pull?!"

The teacher glared at them, furious.

His intimidating presence was so overwhelming that Nobita and the others instantly collapsed onto the ground, too scared to meet his gaze.

"Have you even finished your homework?! Get back home and do it, now!"

The teacher's angry roar sent Doraemon and the five kids scurrying back through the Anywhere Door in terror.

Naruto: "Wow, Nobita, your teacher is really strict. Suddenly, Iruka and Pervy Sage seem pretty gentle in comparison."

Jiraiya: "Hey! What kind of impression do you have of me?!"

Luffy: "Well, at least he's not as bad as my grandpa."

Garp: "You little brat! You itching for a beating?!"

Sisyphus: "Wait a minute! What kind of world is this? How did they go through a door and end up somewhere else? And what's with that blue creature?!"

Tony Stark: "Haha, I knew it. You newcomers must be shocked. Doraemon is a robot from the future in their universe. He has tons of advanced technology beyond imagination, and that door is a gadget that lets them travel anywhere instantly. But that's not all—he even has tools that can alter causality itself."

Asmita: "What?! Tools that can alter causality?"

Thanatos: "Don't spout nonsense! Even gods struggle to change causality, yet you're telling me some non-human being can do it?"

Tony Stark: "Believe it or not, Doraemon really is that powerful."

Bruce Wayne: "I agree. I'd wager that the scientific advancements in Doraemon's world surpass those of any other universe present here."

Daigo: "I never knew the Doraemon universe was so advanced. If the scientists at TPC got their hands on this kind of technology, they'd be ecstatic."

Thanos: "If I had a tool that could alter causality, I could fulfill my dream even faster."

Aaron: "Indeed. If causality could be freely manipulated, this world would be mine to command."

Odin: "Thanos! You madman! Don't even think about it!"

Ancient One: "Agreed. As long as I'm alive, your ambitions will never succeed."

Sasha: "Aaron, I will do everything in my power to stop you."

Dan: "Wait a second. Does this mean that Doraemon and his friends have successfully contained the anomaly?"

Sengoku: "Not yet, I think. Otherwise, the screen would've confirmed it."

Diana: "Perhaps they have to capture Sadako herself for it to count as a successful containment."

Natasha: "But Sadako's true body exists in another world. Does this mean they'll have to go there?!"

Meanwhile, Doraemon and the others were huddled around the videotape.

Even though it was just an ordinary videotape, it sent chills down their spines.

"We haven't technically contained it yet, right? Do we really have to capture that ghost called Sadako for it to count?"

Gian asked hesitantly.

"Ah! No way! I'm not facing that terrifying monster!"

Suneo shook his head frantically in protest.

"But we have the videotape now! As long as no one watches it, nothing bad will happen! We can just hide it and pretend we don't know anything!"

Suneo, utterly terrified by the screen's earlier display of Sadako, wanted nothing to do with the vengeful spirit.

"Don't forget! The teacher already watched the videotape! He's going to die!"

Nobita anxiously reminded everyone.

The others fell silent.

None of them knew how to save their teacher.

"Doraemon, can we use the First Aid Kit?!"

Nobita quickly asked.

"I'm afraid not. The virus only manifests when the curse activates. Using the First Aid Kit now would be useless, and once the curse triggers, it'll be even more pointless."

Doraemon shook his head.

"So the only way to save the teacher is for someone else to watch the tape and inherit the curse?"

Suneo's voice trembled, and sweat trickled down his face.

The others turned pale at his words, instinctively stepping back to put more distance between themselves and the videotape.

None of them dared to watch it.

As everyone was wracking their brains, Doraemon suddenly had a realization and lifted his head.

"That's it! We just need to alter causality!"

With that, Doraemon took out the Truth-Becomes-Lies Mouthpiece.

"If we use this to say that the teacher never watched the videotape, we might be able to change fate!"

Doraemon's expression was serious as he spoke.

Even he wasn't sure if this would work—this was uncharted territory for him.

"Then let's give it a try! I can't just stand by and watch our teacher die in seven days!"

Nobita pleaded.

"Alright!"

Doraemon promptly put on the Truth-Becomes-Lies Mouthpiece, ready to speak.

The others watched with bated breath.

"Wait a minute."

Doraemon suddenly took the mouthpiece off.

"What's your teacher's name again?"

Hearing this, Nobita and the others frowned, trying to recall.

They had always called him 'Teacher' and never actually thought about his real name.

"I'll go ask my mom!"

Nobita quickly ran downstairs.

A short while later, he came running back.

"Ah, I got it! The teacher's name is Morio Eiichiro!"

"Alright."

Now that he had the name, Doraemon immediately put the mouthpiece back on.

"Morio Eiichiro has never been affected by Sadako's virus curse. He will live a long and healthy life!"

After saying this, Doraemon removed the mouthpiece.

"Did it work?!"

Nobita asked impatiently.

"I don't know. We'll have to use the Time Machine and check seven days into the future to be sure."

Doraemon glanced worriedly at the Time Machine.

At that moment, everyone held their breath in anticipation.
