I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 162 Newly Emerging Urban Legend in New York: Spider-Man

"What? The rabbit talisman was stolen?"

When Riley received the call from the agent, he was crouching on the bank's ceiling, using his invisibility suit to survey the entire scene from above, pinpointing the exact locations of the robbers and devising a battle plan.

It was precisely because of the agent's interruption that Riley immediately thought of the unusual behavior he had seen when he met Jade that morning.

Clearly, the talisman that suddenly disappeared must have been stolen by Xiaoyu while she was on guard.

After all, with Felicia's help, Jade had already convinced her friends that what she said was true. Therefore, she no longer needed to take the talisman to school and prove herself to her classmates.

But in this universe, apart from briefly playing with the Ox Talisman at the museum, Xiaoyu hasn't really used the power of the talisman much.

This led to her, who was already very curious, becoming far more interested in talismans than Xiaoyu in the original story.

Now that the Rabbit Talisman is so close, how could Xiaoyu resist the urge to do something wicked?

Therefore, this incident cannot really be blamed on the poor security system of District 13.

Under the doting and indulgent care of Zhengqi, even the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, would fail to keep an eye on Jade due to a momentary lapse in attention.

So much so that these are security measures that can only be used to prevent ordinary people from getting hurt, no matter how many are piled up, or even if they fill the entire underground vault space...

But when facing Xiaoyu, this chosen one whose destiny cannot be explained by science, it is destined that there will be some malfunctions here and there.

In the end, it's just like something made of paper, utterly meaningless.

"Alright, tell Sheriff Black I have a pretty good idea what happened... Don't worry, the Black Hand isn't that powerful. After I deal with these bank robbers, I'll go get the talisman."

With that in mind, Riley calmed the agent down and then hung up the phone.

Immediately, a phantom image of a New York map was projected onto the blindfold. Using the previously installed tracker, Xiaoyu's location was quickly pinpointed.

The good news is that, just as Riley guessed, Jade, who secretly took the Rabbit Talisman, is moving at high speed towards the school.

The bad news is that the red dot representing Xiaoyu suddenly disappeared completely from the map after moving for less than a second.

This made Riley, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and thought that Xiaoyu was just a little playful and wouldn't cause any trouble, instantly transform into an old man on the subway with his phone in an emoji-like pose.

"Although I did think about having a little surprise for the new day before I went to bed last night... this isn't the kind of 'surprise' I want! Can't I just study properly for a day? If I keep missing classes and being late like this, I'm really going to get my parents called in!"

As Riley muttered to himself, his lips twitching, he realized that he had originally planned to locate the robbers and then perform a real-life Assassin's Creed-style stealth attack. However, upon realizing the seriousness of the situation, he had no choice but to abandon this tempting idea.

After taking a closer look, remember the area where Xiaoyu's signal last appeared before it disappeared.

Riley deactivated the map projection, restoring a full view, and then retrieved another rabbit talisman from the system's storage space.

next second...

Amidst the sounds of pained groans, the once large gang of robbers, who thought their operation was a sure thing, were all brought to the ground by Riley, who was so fast that he was no longer visible to the naked eye and seemed like a ghost!

Even before they lost consciousness, they were still chatting and laughing, imagining how they would use their share of the money to live a carefree and happy life after the operation succeeded.

One of them hugged the money bag with great joy, exclaiming that with this money, his seriously ill daughter could be saved.

Unexpectedly, everything went black, I closed my eyes, and then opened them again...

In what seemed like a short time, the man was horrified to find himself handcuffed and sitting in a prison van on his way to prison!

The commotion of waking up attracted the attention of a fellow prison guard. And from the guard's gloating smile, he learned that he had been dealt with by Spider-Man…

Not only did the various rumors surrounding Spider-Man begin to become increasingly mysterious from that day onward, much like the Bat-Vigilantes from the neighboring universe.

Some people say that Spider-Man can fly.

Some people say that Spider-Man is actually a mysterious magician.

Some even go so far as to say that Spider-Man's ability to climb walls is due to his incredible speed. And once Spider-Man reaches full speed, he becomes so fast he's practically invisible, and can even surpass human limits by walking on water!

As these seemingly absurd, urban legend-like statements spread widely throughout New York City, Spider-Man's deterrent effect on criminals undoubtedly rose several notches!

But the man no longer cared about any of that.

All he knew was that Spider-Man's appearance extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart!

By the time he came to his senses, the man had already grabbed the iron bars of the prison cart and let out a furious and resentful cry!

After being ordered to stop by the prison guards, he sat back down with a gloomy face.

The man secretly gritted his teeth and swore an oath in his heart...

If Spider-Man causes him to go to jail, preventing him from raising enough money for treatment in time and causing him to miss his daughter's best treatment period...

Then he, Flint Marco, will definitely do everything in his power to take revenge on Spider-Man after he gets out of prison!

……

The scene shifts, and the timeline is pushed back a little to the time when Xiaoyu was in school.

At this moment, the three members of the Black Hand gang had all removed their high-tech uniforms. Then, together with Tru, they sat by the window in the donut shop and enjoyed their breakfast.

Or, to be more precise, Tru unilaterally enjoyed the donut.

Because on the table, there were as many as six lunchboxes filled with donuts in front of Tru alone.

Clearly, the large Trudeau enjoyed this high-calorie, sweet food.

In a sense, his claim in the original story that he chose to abandon the darkness and embrace the light because of the free donuts that Uncle Long mentioned that were provided every Thursday in District 13 might not really be an excuse.

"Oh, if only I hadn't lost that rabbit charm. Then I could have put it on my hoverboard and flown straight to Hong Kong to enjoy authentic and delicious Hong Kong-style breakfast."

Compared to Tru, who had a great appetite, Zhou, also of Asian descent, showed absolutely no interest in the donuts covered in icing and chocolate needles—a dish that seemed like it could turn low blood sugar into diabetes in one bite. He only ordered a cup of hot cocoa, holding it in his hand and taking a small sip.

Then he frowned, sighed helplessly, and began to complain.

"You're right, but I wish there were no Jackie Chan and Spider-Man in this world."

Hearing his good friend's complaint, A-Fen, who also had no interest in donuts, chimed in with a reply.

He then crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and, recalling the orders given by Valon, continued speaking with a puzzled expression.

"Speaking of which... what do you guys think the boss is thinking? Why did he send us here to stake out this place? What are we even going to see?"

Clearly, what happened last night made the Black Hand trio quite suspicious of Valmont's drastically changed personality. It was only out of their past friendship that they chose to faithfully carry out Valmont's orders, no matter how absurd they sounded.

"Who knows? The boss seems to have become even more formidable lately... but his personality has also become more enigmatic, and nobody can guess what he's thinking."

Even so, Lasu felt overwhelmed by the richness of just two or three donuts and was already full. She was also getting bored sitting there, unsure of what to do.

Then, following up on his brothers' comments, he jokingly responded.

"Speaking of our previous topic, if it were me..."

"I hope the talismans can be delivered directly to our door and appear in our lives on their own initiative."
