I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 180 Deer Paradise

Time flies, and after five days of intense dungeon runs, Riley finally got to enjoy Saturday off.

For Xiaoyu, this day brought both good news and bad news.

The good news is that Xiaoyu kept her promise and finished her holiday homework ahead of schedule.

So Riley kept his word. After saying hello to Uncle Long, he booked tickets for the Deer Park online.

The bad news is that because Riley can't tell which one is the real Jade—at least that's how it appears on the surface—Black Jade naturally follows Riley and joins the amusement park trip.

This infuriated Xiaoyu, making her grit her teeth and hate Hei Xiaoyu's existence even more.

So much so that the two little girls kept making a fuss on the way to the deer park.

If it weren't for Riley, caught in the middle, constantly trying to calm them down...

I'm afraid these two will start fighting before they even get to the Deer Park!

Incidentally, after learning that Xiaoyu had become two, Felicia was also surprised and wanted to come and find out.

Unfortunately, before Felicia could even interact with the two Jades, Riley, who seemed to have anticipated this, pulled her aside. With the condition that he would take Felicia out to play alone next time, the overjoyed Felicia temporarily put aside her superficial friendship and agreed to obediently undergo training in District 13 until this matter was resolved, avoiding direct contact with Jades.

As for why Riley did this...

Just as Peter guessed, the shrewd Riley had already figured out which of the two was the one for him back in the Mafia headquarters.

After all, the real Jade was still wearing the symbiote suit that Riley had lent her.

By relying on the mental connection established between himself and the symbiote suit, Riley could easily discern who the real Jade was in this universe.

However, the answer given by the soul fluctuations, coupled with the darkness that instantly covered the entire Black Hand headquarters, allowed Riley to guess Jade's true identity.

That is, the Jade from the same universe as the Holy Lord in the parallel universe, who has become the Queen of the Shadow Legion.

Therefore, in order to avoid exposing their identities and disrupting the current delicate balance, a battle to the death is about to begin.

Riley could only pretend to be unaware for the time being, and try to find a way to break the deadlock without bloodshed while spending time together.

In order to achieve this goal, Felicia naturally cannot meet with Jade from this universe.

After all, if Riley wasn't mistaken...

Because "Riley" in the parallel universe left prematurely for some reason, Felicia in that parallel universe obviously couldn't ask Riley for help.

Therefore, it was impossible for her to rescue her father with Riley's help, and after being persuaded by Riley, the whole family chose to join District 13, and she became Jade's best friend with a relationship that was both friend and foe.

In other words, Felicia was a complete stranger to Hei Xiaoyu.

This meant that no matter how much Riley pretended to be deaf and dumb...

Given Xiaoyu's familiarity with Felicia and Hei Xiaoyu's unfamiliarity with her, these two drastically different attitudes towards each other are destined to lead to trouble. Hei Xiaoyu will undoubtedly sense something is amiss immediately, choosing to confront the situation and abandon her pretense, thus escalating the situation to its worst possible outcome.

Because of this concern, Felicia, who, like Riley, could easily distinguish which of the two Jades was her best friend, absolutely could not meet with either of them before resolving the issue of Black Jade.

"Hey Riley, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Just as Riley's thoughts were drifting far away, racking his brains to figure out how to resolve this crisis peacefully without angering Black Jade.

The disgruntled shouts in his ears pulled Riley back to reality.

When Riley blinked, he saw two Jade girls, standing in front of him with their hands on their hips, looking at him with their cute chubby cheeks.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I spaced out for a moment... You know, the Black Hand Gang was just taken down, there are just too many things to worry about."

At this moment, led by Riley, the three of them had already passed through the amusement park gates with their tickets and entered the interior of the Deer Park.

So, gazing at the bustling amusement park, Riley, who in his previous life had never experienced such a place due to his birth and work, lacking both the opportunity and the inclination to do so as an adult, and thus never having visited an amusement park in his entire life, was gradually infected by the lively atmosphere filled with laughter. Recalling the wonderful childhood he spent in this life as "Riley Parker," accompanied by Ben Parker, May Parker, and Peter, he couldn't help but smile.

"Uh, where were we?"

That's why Riley reached out and gently patted both Jade's heads, one on each side. While responding softly, he decided to temporarily set aside his complicated calculations and the heavy responsibilities he had always carried, so as to leave both Jade with a beautiful and pure memory.

Today, he enjoys a rare holiday as an ordinary person named "Rie Parker".

"Hmph, I knew you weren't listening!"

Although she was very annoyed, her long-awaited amusement park trip was now interrupted by Hei Xiaoyu, who was a third wheel.

But considering that the other person looked exactly like her, and that her father had also confirmed that she was indeed Xiaoyu, and not a fake pretending to be her.

Xiaoyu, who considered herself magnanimous, wouldn't have continued arguing with Hei Xiaoyu in the Deer Park.

Following Riley's lead, he then expressed their diametrically opposed viewpoints, awaiting Riley's decision.

"I want to go to the haunted house first, but she wants to ride the roller coaster first! So, it's a tie now, the decision is yours!"

While speaking, Xiaoyu was secretly relieved that the two of them had failed to reach a consensus.

After all, Hei Xiaoyu looks exactly like him, so that's one thing...

But what if everyone's ideas are exactly the same...

Wouldn't that be like the person in the mirror suddenly appearing in reality?

It's practically a template for horror movies!

This is why Xiaoyu's rejection of Hei Xiaoyu stems more from her fear of the unknown. She's terrified that Hei Xiaoyu might quietly replace her, which is why she reacts so negatively to Hei Xiaoyu.

Otherwise, just like in the original story, where Tama encountered "Taiya" from the future timeline several times...

Xiaoyu often finds the existence of another version of herself very cool.

How could things have turned out this way, as if we were mortal enemies? We argue endlessly over the slightest disagreement.
