Chapter 250 Open-book Exam
"How is it? Any Idea?" Miles looked at Yang Le with expectant eyes, hoping to get an answer from Yang Le.
"A little bit, but I'm not sure either." After all, there is too little information, and Yang Le couldn't possibly get the answer from Miles's few words, but it doesn't matter, Yang Le has a Method to confirm his guess.
"Wait until the Party is over, take me to the Position you made contact," Yang Le said to Miles. "I need to see the scene to make a conclusion."
"Okay." Miles nodded.
Along the way, Miles gradually let go of his defenses and chatted a lot with Yang Le. It could be considered that he had completely reconciled with Yang Le, while Yang Le still maintained his previous attitude, neither cold nor fawning. Overall, the two could be considered to have had a pleasant conversation.
The current State of the two shocked others. Clearly, these two had a bad relationship before, so how could they suddenly reconcile?
"What happened between you two? Why do I get the Feeling he's afraid of me?" Gwen asked curiously. When Miles saw her just now, he finally didn't have that lovestruck expression anymore, but was somewhat fearful. This confused Gwen, so she came to Yang Le to find answers.
"Simply put, a Parallel Universe version of you beat Miles up, and then I saved him," Yang Le said.
"Parallel Universe me?" Gwen became even more confused after listening to Yang Le's Explanation. "Why would that Gwen beat Miles up? It wasn't because Miles harassed her again, was it?"
"That's a long story. I'll tell you after the Party is over," Yang Le said.
Gwen thought so too. It was a Party now, and indeed not the Time to talk about these things. The two of them had been standing in the Corner for a long Time, and other people's Line of Sight, whether intentional or not, had swept over them several times.
As the Party neared its end, Yang Le gathered everyone to tell them about Miles and Prowler. After all, if this matter was really as he thought, then this would be a Multiverse Event.
What was frightening wasn't Prowler Miles from Universe 42, but the person standing behind him who was providing assistance.
Of course, Yang Le didn't fully reveal his Idea, but just told everyone he had a Clue about this matter, mainly to ask who wanted to go to the on-site investigation next.
As expected by Yang Le, adhering to the main Idea of "since we're already here," all the Spiders raised their hands.
"Then shall we take Action tomorrow?" 616B Peter asked. In his opinion, it was getting late, and Miles, being a Child, should obediently go Home.
"Tomorrow's not the weekend, I still have to go to school," Miles quickly said. "Let's do it tonight. I'll get Uncle Aaron to cover for me, saying I'm staying at his Home."
After saying that, Miles pulled out his Mobile phone and made a Phone call. Aaron knew about Miles's other Identity. He was surprised to hear that a new Prowler had appeared. Ultimately, after Miles showed him the group he was going with, he nodded in agreement.
"Done," Miles said proudly as he hung up the Phone, like a Student who had aced an exam.
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking. Speed was of the essence, and indeed, the sooner the better.
And so, when the night was dark and the wind was high, Spider Team set off. Even Yang Le transformed into Spider-Monkey to maintain formation, and also enjoyed the Feeling of Swinging Web in New York City.
Led by Miles, everyone arrived at the Position where he had fought Prowler earlier. Because this was also the Position where he subdued Rhino, the Ground was pitted and uneven, looking like a mess.
"This is it," Miles pointed to an Open Area in front of him. "I fought that Prowler in roughly this Position."
Everyone focused their Line of Sight on Yang Le, wanting to see what Method he would use to find Clues in this Open Area. Gwen, who was with Yang Le all the time, guessed Yang Le's Idea.
"Clock King?" Gwen asked.
Yang Le nodded and replied, "That's right."
After saying that, a White Light flashed, Spider-Monkey disappeared, and in his place stood Tin Can Clock King.
Unlike Gwen, who had seen Clock King's Ability, the other Spiders didn't know much about Yang Le's new Form and could only quietly watch Yang Le's Performance.
The Clock King Mechanism on his Crown rotated counterclockwise, and a Light Screen erupted from it, gradually expanding until it encompassed the Open Area in front of Miles and then slowly stopped.
Before everyone could understand what was happening, several figures appeared out of thin air within the Light Screen. Those figures were Miles, Prowler, and Rhino who had fallen on the Ground.
Yang Le explained, "These are images of what happened in this area previously. I used my Ability to replay them in this way."
"Wow!" Miles exclaimed.
"Shocking," Shadow Spider marveled. These things were just too magical for an Old Guy from the last century like him.
After a few exclamations, everyone refocused their Line of Sight on the images, which played until the point where Miles was a step behind and Peter arrived just in Time, then stopped.
Miles was a little embarrassed. After all, he hadn't beaten his opponent, which felt like a public execution. But thankfully, everyone's attention was locked on the Prowler, and no one was focused on his loss. Otherwise, he would have wanted to find a Crack to disappear into.
"This really looks like Uncle Aaron's Attack Method," Ultimate Peter said after watching the whole thing. He had fought Uncle Aaron many times and could recognize his patterns.
After seeing the Prowler's Form and attire, Yang Le was basically certain that this Prowler was Miles from Universe 42. He was just about to Opening his mouth to remind everyone when someone else spoke first.
"Don't you guys think this Prowler and Miles look really similar?" Penny said, leaning her Body out of her Mecha. "I used the Computer to compare them, and your body shapes are almost identical."
"Now that you mention it, it really is," Shadow Spider said, touching his chin and leaning closer to the images.
You know, Clock King's replay, while it looks like playing a Video Recording, is actually vastly different. Clock King's Ability replays past Time, so the images in front of you are essentially untouchable real people, without any difference.
"It's Miles from Other Universe." To prevent ridiculous answers like twin brothers from popping up, Yang Le took the lead and stated the answer.
"How did you know that?" Spider-Ham asked. Even for him, a cartoon character who doesn't really care about logic, Yang Le's answer seemed too hastily concluded.
To this, Yang Le simply said, "Sorry, open-book exams mean you can do whatever you want."
