Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Kaitou Kidd shrugged his shoulders very naturally and spread his hands.

"Are you sure you want to hold on to me, Batman?"

While he was speaking, his right hand moved imperceptibly, and his index and middle fingers made a slight outward flicking motion.

This movement is very slight, and Kaito Kidd is still talking, and his right hand is relatively far away, so the movement is almost undetectable from the opposite side of him.

The moment Kaitou Kidd finished speaking, a flash bomb suddenly appeared in front of him, and a dazzling light burst out.

He had already hidden a flash bomb in his right sleeve. His index finger and middle finger were connected by an invisible thread. The action just now was to use the thread to open the tab of the flash bomb and throw it out.

The dazzling light suddenly illuminated the dark forest as if it were daytime. Anyone stimulated by this strong light would be instantly blind.

Including the audience outside the virtual live broadcast room.

At the same time as the flash bomb was thrown, Kaitou Kidd turned around and ran away as fast as he could.

While running, he took out his hook lock gun and shot it at the top of the big tree behind him. His body rose into the air and reached the trunk of the tree more than ten meters above the ground in two seconds.

"what!"

However, just when Kaito Kidd climbed up to the tree trunk and prepared to leave this place completely, he saw a scene beyond his expectation.

He saw another tree trunk just opposite the tree trunk where he was, less than three meters away.

A dark figure like a prison was watching him silently.

This figure was staring at Kaitou Kidd on the ground just a few seconds ago.

Batman!

Kaitou Kidd was sure that Batman had definitely not just caught up, but had been ambushing him here early in the morning, and the ambush might have lasted longer than he imagined.

"Then what I just saw down there is..."

At this moment, Kaitou Kidd seemed to understand something.

"Do you think you're the only one who uses dummies?"

Looking at Kaitou Kidd in front of him, Batman slowly spoke.

"I really didn't expect you to pull this trick on me, Batman."

Kaitou Kid calmed himself down and smiled.

"That batarang just now shouldn't be something that an ordinary doll can do, right? Who is that below? Robin pretending to be that?"

"That's a simulation robot. It was developed not long ago. This is the first experiment. It seems to be very effective. Even a disguise master like you was fooled."

Batman said calmly.

"You are using me for this kind of experiment at this time, Batman. I finally understand why so many people hate you."

Kaitou Kidd's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Kaitou Kid kicked his feet hard and jumped down from the tree trunk.

Chapter 195: He runs away, he chases, but it’s hard to fly without wings

boom!

When Kaitou Kidd jumped from the tree trunk and fell into the air, an explosion suddenly sounded.

A thick cloud of smoke instantly emerged, covering Kaito Kid's body.

"A lot has happened recently, so there is one thing I haven't had time to do. But since we met today, let's return the things to you."

The smoke existed for a very short time, dissipating almost as soon as Kaito Kidd finished speaking, and Kaitoo Kidd was no longer in sight.

A white suit belonging to Phantom Thief Kid was left lying there quietly on the ground, as if Phantom Thief Kid had just taken off his clothes and teleported to another place.

There was a small object placed on the surface of the suit, which reflected a faint light under the sparse moonlight in the dense forest.

There is a high probability that it is some kind of gem or something.

In this kind of environment, it is almost difficult to detect the faint moonlight reflected by the gemstone under normal circumstances. It is the kind that might not be found if it accidentally drops on the ground when walking at night.

But now that there is white clothing underneath, it is naturally much more conspicuous.

"The ocean gem of Atlantis?"

Batman thought calmly, without even looking at the suit and gems on the ground, he threw a batarang behind him.

What's strange is that there seems to be nothing in that direction except the deep and dark woods.

Whoosh!

The batarang flew towards the deep forest at an extremely fast speed. According to its normal trajectory, it should have flown a long distance unobstructed and finally stuck on the trunk of a big tree.

Or fall directly to the ground.

However, just as the batarang flew about ten meters away, a slight tearing sound sounded out of thin air.

It was as if something had been cut off.

In the air where no object could be seen, the outline of a long and narrow rope appeared vaguely, but it was broken into two parts. One part was fixed on a branch above, and the other part fell freely downwards.

At the same time, a black figure also appeared from the supposedly empty midair, and fell to the ground along with the cut rope.

At the critical moment, the black shadow let go of his hands holding the rope, kicked his feet into the air towards the trunk of a big tree beside him, and quickly flew out, grabbing the shorter tree on the opposite side. branches.

The diameter of this branch is relatively slender and cannot bear the weight of a person for too long.

Black Shadow was unfazed by this. He grabbed the branch with both hands and used it as a horizontal bar. He made a few flips at high speed and then immediately let go. Using this force, he flipped higher and landed steadily on the ground several meters above. On another, thicker branch.

click!

The moment he took his hand off, the shorter branch below just reached its endurance limit and broke.

It can be seen that this person is quite dexterous and can react quickly and make perfect responses to sudden weightlessness.

"It was so dangerous, I almost fell to the ground... Although I won't be hurt even if I fall from this height."

Squatting on a thick branch, Kaitou Kid breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't know when he changed into dark clothes that blended in with the night.

"As expected of Batman, I didn't deceive him at all. I thought he would have to look twice more to confirm my position, which would at least allow me to keep some distance. I didn't expect... Tsk! This guy is simply not human!"

Kaitou Kidd looked at Batman who was expressionless not far away, and the pressure in his heart suddenly increased.

"Kid has extremely strong body control and flexibility. He may have received professional gymnastics or acrobatic training, just like Selina and Dick... Would a normal magician have this ability?"

Across the way, Batman saw the thief Kidd's smooth movements just now and thought to himself.

As we learn more and more about Kaito Kidd, there are more and more unsolved mysteries.

Where did Kaitou Kidd learn his abilities?

Disguise ability that is comparable to transfiguration, superb and wonderful magic methods, reaction speed to dodge bullets, incredible body control capabilities, and those weird techniques that I don’t know how they work, and can only be described as magic.

When Batman first learned about Kidd, he believed that Kidd's true identity would most likely be a magician. Although Dick had carefully investigated every well-known magician in Gotham, Batman Thought Dick might be missing something.

But now, Batman has doubts about this idea. Which magician can achieve the skills of Kidd? Rather than talking about magic, it's better to think about magic.

But if Kaitou Kidd is really a magician, Batman feels that many of his performances are inconsistent. For example, just now, Kaitou Kidd's rope was cut by a batarang and he almost fell to the ground.

A magician should fly directly or teleport to a safe place, but Kaitou Kid's reaction was completely that of a normal human being.

Assuming that Kaitou Kidd has magic or masters future technology, why doesn't he use those superior methods to get himself out of trouble?

Contradictory, too contradictory.

Looking at Kaitou Kidd, Batman's brows hidden under his helmet furrowed.

Although there were so many thoughts in his heart, Batman did not stop his actions because of this, and all his thoughts were only completed in an instant.

flutter!

Just as Kaito Kidd landed firmly on the branch, Batman suddenly flew out, and the bat glider behind him spread out instantly.

In this dense woodland, not only were the glider's progress not blocked by bamboo branches, but on the contrary, Batman was like a real bat, flying quickly and flexibly between branches.

In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of Kaitou Kidd.

Seeing this, Kaitou Kidd quickly pulled off his night clothes and put on another Kaitou outfit. He didn't know how many sets of clothes he had hidden on him.

With a swipe, Kaito Kidd leapt from the branch, spread his glider wings, and flew into the distance.

"Catching up so quickly? At the very least, I should pick up your gems before taking the next step! Even if you have money, you can't say that you don't care about your own things at all, right? In any case, it's from Atlantis. The rare mineral brought by Sri has certain magical properties. Although the effect is relatively average, aren't you afraid that it will be picked up by others?"

Thinking of Batman throwing the Batarang without hesitation just now, and now chasing after him regardless, Kidd couldn't help but want to complain.

Chapter 196 If I can’t hide, can’t I escape?

Judging from Batman's posture, he probably doesn't care about those ocean gems at all.

Thinking about it, if he cared, he wouldn't have used this thing as bait to lure out Kaitou Kidd.

But, let’s just say, is it really okay to leave something like this that is somewhat related to magic in Gotham?

I'm really not afraid that in the process of chasing Kaitou Kidd, someone suddenly comes here and picks up the ocean gems, and then develops some weird and weird things that can destroy most of the city at every turn.

In this world, similar things are not impossible.

Anyway, no matter what, Batman's determination to pursue Kidd cannot be changed.

"Oooh! What do I see? Batman is chasing Kaito Kidd!"

"This is amazing! I've been dreaming of seeing this for months and thank God I finally get to see it!"

"During the incident at Cavaliers Stadium, I thought I could witness the scene of Batman chasing Kidd, but unfortunately, Batman didn't show up until Kidd escaped. Now I finally see it!"

In the virtual live broadcast room, Gotham's media suddenly became excited when they saw this scene.

Although they were not on site, they saw more today than they would have seen if they had gone to the site in person.

Also more exciting.

The grudge between Black Mask and Bruce Wayne, the showdown between Kidd and Black Mask, and Batman’s pursuit of Kidd.

In just ten minutes, the reversal came so quickly.

So much so that they can’t even think of how to write a headline for tomorrow’s front page.

It’s not that I can’t think of them, but there are so many that I can think of, and each one is a high-quality title, so it’s hard to choose.

What shocked them even more was that the "Smoke Disappearance Technique" that had been tried and tested by Kaitou Kidd was once considered to be a super power of teleportation or a magical magic of space teleportation.

This time it was actually cracked by Batman!

It turns out that Kaitou Kidd used the smoke to cover himself, and the moment he disappeared from everyone's sight, he switched clothes as quickly as possible so that he could not be easily noticed.

At the same time, things that can divert attention are released to attract everyone's attention, such as the simulation dolls in the past or the suits and gems this time.

Kaitou Kid's own costume is white, and the smoke bombs he uses are also white smoke.

When a white thing disappears, people will subconsciously look for white things.

In the dark, white things stand out. In other words, dark things are easier to ignore.

Therefore, when Kaito Kidd takes off his white suit and puts on dark night clothes, he can almost become invisible.

It can be said that any normal person can easily be deceived by Kaitou Kidd's trick. Even if he is aware of this, if he really encounters Kaitou Kidd disappearing in front of his eyes, he will still unconsciously look for people wearing white clothes first.

It takes at least a few seconds or even ten seconds to adapt before you can react and look for people wearing dark clothes.

And this gap time was enough for Kaito Kidd to escape far away from the scene.

This shows how terrible Batman's eyesight is. From the beginning, he was not distracted by the things left by Kidd, and all the latter's movements did not escape Batman's attention.

In Robinson Park, two figures, one white and one black, flew quickly through the trees, startling a large number of birds.

Since the flow of wind is relatively limited in the woods, the height that the hang glider can maintain is also extremely limited. Under normal circumstances, it cannot actually fly at all.

However, the gliders used by Kidd and Batman are not ordinary gliders, and they can still glide unimpeded.

Especially Kaitou Kidd's special glider from the system, its flying speed is vaguely faster than Batman, although it is not significantly faster, and it is not enough to throw Batman away.

Along the way, Kidd kept moving forward while constantly creating obstacles for Batman, including flash bombs, smoke bombs and simulated dolls equipped with gliders... they were all used.

However, the results were minimal, and Batman simply refused to take this approach.

When Kaito Kidd saw that the lower half of Batman's face, which was originally exposed, was now wearing some kind of transparent mask, he knew that things like tear gas and sleeping gas couldn't do anything to Batman.

The defensive performance of the Bat suit is not ordinary. It is perfect in almost every aspect and can be said to be watertight.
