Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

This office is relatively small, and the furnishings and decorations inside are not very expensive. It should not be Bruce Wayne's office.

Kaitou Kidd didn't stop in the office, he directly opened the office door and walked out.

However, the moment he opened the door, a faint smell of blood suddenly rushed into his nostrils.

"Didn't you say that when the Mask Society attacked this place, the people inside had basically evacuated? There should be no one in Wayne Tower now. Logically speaking, the Man-Bat would not rush into an uninhabited building, and They probably won’t be able to break through Wayne Tower’s defenses either…”

Kaitou Kidd's expression was gloomy and uncertain. There was a high probability that something terrible had happened here.

"There are no corpses or bloodstains around here. The smell of blood is coming from that way."

After sniffing it with his nose, Kaitou Kid looked towards the corridor on his right, his eyes becoming solemn.

He walked over there cautiously, making no sound as he moved.

Hey~hey~

When Kaitou Kid came to the corner of the corridor, a sound of chewing reached his ears.

Kaitou Kidd immediately stopped, his back pressed against the wall, and he quietly poked his head out.

When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, Kaitou Kid's pupils shrank instantly.

Not far behind the corner, I saw two human bats lying on the ground, as if they were eating something.

The blood all over the ground, as well as the human corpse lying between the two man-bats with its bones exposed, already explained too many problems.

"Why is there a man-bat in this place!"

Kaitou Kidd was shocked and puzzled by what he saw in front of him.

"Where is Lucius Fox? How did the Man-Bat break into Wayne Tower?"

Chapter 206: One pigeon kills two bats!

Roar!

As if they heard something, the ears of the two man-bats moved in unison, they looked in the direction of Kaito Kidd, and roared.

However, Kaitou Kidd had already retreated behind the corner at this time. The two man-bats did not notice his approach. They shook their heads and looked at it for a long time, and then went back to start eating.

"Damn, I thought the biggest difficulty was the group of man-bats outside Wayne Tower, but I didn't expect it would be even more difficult after entering."

Kaitou Kid leaned against the corner wall, gritting his teeth and thinking.

"Speaking of which, why would a bat have the habit of eating humans like this? I remember that Kurt Langstone only inherited the habit of sucking blood. What modifications did these masterminds make to the formula of the serum?"

No matter how large the Wayne Tower is, it cannot have a large open space like a plaza. Its internal space must be narrow and limited.

On the surface, it seems that the man-bat has a huge body and relies on flying, which is half useless in such a narrow terrain.

But the same goes for Kaitou Kidd.

In the narrow space, the angle and direction he could dodge were greatly restricted. The man-bat's huge body could almost block three-quarters of the cross-section of the corridor.

In other words, if we meet in a long corridor and the Man-Bat flies towards Phantom Thief Kid at full speed, he won't even have a place to hide.

No need to think too much, the flying speed of Man-Bat is far faster than the movement speed of Phantom Thief Kidd.

But if it is in a relatively open place, Kaito Kidd's extraordinary reflexes will ensure that he is not afraid of the Man-Bat.

Even though his own speed is far inferior to that of the Man-Bat, he can easily avoid all the Man-Bat's attacks.

Just like Kaitou Kidd cannot move faster than bullets, he can still dodge bullets.

At this moment, there are two man-bats blocking the way of Kaitou Kidd. He only has two choices now.

The first is to take a detour in another direction, and the second is to find a way to deal with these two man-bats.

"This road is the only way to the control room. If you take a detour, you can only climb out through the gap and come in through another window..."

Kaitou Kidd thought in his mind.

"But there is a fatal problem with this, that is, it is impossible to determine how many man-bats there are in Wayne Tower and where they are roughly. The windows of Wayne Tower cannot be peered into from the outside. It is possible that I opened a gap. There happened to be a few man-bats behind the window.”

"We must get to the control room as soon as possible, so that we can roughly figure out which route has the least number of man-bats, and also find out the location of Lucius Fox."

The Wayne Building has more than eighty floors, nearly three hundred meters high. At least half of the floors are highly classified, and there are countless hidden passages and secret rooms. No one knows which floors have them. what.

Without Lucius's guidance, Kaitou Kidd would have found the potion amplification diffusion device on his own, which would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Let me think about it... the human bat serum can give humans the biological abilities of bats. The modified human bat virus has similar effects. For example, it can receive powerful hearing of ultrasonic waves. Is it possible that humans can also acquire the physiological abilities of bats?" defect?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Kaitou Kidd's mind. If this could be done, it would be much simpler...

After a while, Kaitou Kidd walked out from around the corner, this time without even controlling the sound of his footsteps.

The sound of tapping echoed throughout the corridor.

The two man-bats that were eating suddenly stopped and approached so openly. If they couldn't be discovered again, the crisis in Gotham would have been resolved long ago.

Roar!Roar!

Two weird roars suddenly sounded, and the two man-bats dropped the devoured corpses on the spot and flew towards Kaito Kidd.

Kaitou Kidd didn't panic, immediately changed direction and ran back.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap!

Kaitou Kidd ran forward with a calm expression on his face, but strangely, his speed was not very fast.

Of course, compared to ordinary people who lack exercise and are in poor health all year round, Kaitou Kidd's running speed is already quite fast, but compared to Kaitou Kidd's mobility shown in previous performances, it is indeed slower. On many.

And the consequence of this is that in almost the blink of an eye, Man-Bat is about to catch up with Phantom Thief Kidd!

Fortunately, Kaitou Kidd happened to run back to the corner he came out of before, and he immediately turned around and re-entered the corner.

The two human bats had no time to brake, and flew forward for a certain distance according to the inertia before catching up again, flapping their wings and flying into the corridor behind the corner.

This small interruption was not enough to allow Kaitou Kid to get away from the Man-Bat. At most, he was less than ten meters ahead, and this distance to the Man-Bat was just two flaps of its wings.

The moment the two human bats flew around the corner, a strange cold light suddenly appeared from mid-air.

Looking carefully, there was a steel wire lying across the wall of the corridor in front of him, with a height of about two and a half meters, which was exactly the same height as the man-bat's neck when flying.

However, the human bat's eyes showed no fluctuation, not even a ripple appeared, and it continued to fly, as if it could not see the wire in front of it at all.

If the man-bats continue to rush forward at high speed, it is foreseeable that their heads will be severed by sharp steel wires!

Ahead, Kaitou Kidd was still running at a neither fast nor slow speed, and he didn't seem to be interested in the Man-Bat's final fate.

Just as the man-bats were about to hit the steel wire, they suddenly lowered their flying height and flew under the steel wire. At this time, their feet were only about twenty centimeters from the ground.

Normally man-bats wouldn't fly so low, but they didn't want to hit the wire either.

Similar to bats, man-bats have poor vision and sense of smell. It is true that they cannot see steel wires, but they also have the ability of ultrasonic positioning. Even if they cannot see it, they can detect the existence of steel wires and easily bypass them.

Apparently, Kaitou Kidd's plan failed.

At this time, there are no more obstacles between the two man-bats and Kaito Kid, and there is no other corner ahead!

The Man-Bat's flight was not hindered at all, and it still maintained its top speed to chase Kaitou Kidd. In just a few breaths, it reached behind Kaitou Kidd.

Immediately afterwards, the fangs and claws came out, biting towards Kaitou Kidd in front of him, biting his neck in an instant.

At the critical moment, a white shadow suddenly fell from the ceiling. Before the two human bats could react, it came between them, and at the same time, two blue electric lights lit up.

ZZZZZZZZ!

Boom!Boom!

Not long after, the two man-bats fell to the ground.

Chapter 207 Is the Penguin the mastermind behind this?

In the corridor, Kaito Kidd squatted between two man-bats and looked down at them.

After confirming that they would not wake up in a short time, they withdrew the high-voltage electric shock device held in both hands.

It can be seen that in addition to the original white gloves, his hands holding the electric shock device are now covered with another layer of red gloves. The gloves are covered with dense sucker-shaped objects.

Just now, Kaitou Kidd used this pair of suction cup gloves to fix himself to the ceiling and set an ambush for Man-Bat.

As for the Kaitou Kid running in front of him, he was actually just a stiff-moving puppet used as a bait to attract the man-bat.

As we all know, the vision and smell of bats are generally relatively slow, and some species of bats are even basically equivalent to having no vision.

Although the eyes of most bats can actually see objects, but they do not rely on vision, when bat DNA and human DNA are mixed and mutated, the advantages and disadvantages of the two creatures are amplified.

Kurt Langstone's serum will have more human parts, so he can retain his sanity and memory, and the sensitivity of his five senses will be closer to that of humans, while the current man-bat virus is undoubtedly the other way around.

Mutants infected with the virus are more bloodthirsty and more deadly to humans, but they lack rationality. Although their hearing is well developed, other senses are not satisfactory.

To make it easier to distinguish, Kaitou Kidd calls the latter the mutant man-bat.

From a purely visual and olfactory perspective, the mutated human bats infected by the human bat virus are actually not much different from highly myopic humans suffering from rhinitis. They are expected to detect the presence of other people by seeing or smelling them. , that's almost impossible.

It was precisely because of this that Kaitou Kidd came up with the bait plan just now.

The steel wire that the two mutant bats almost ran into when they turned the corner was actually not something Kaitou Kidd expected to use to deal with the enemy from the very beginning.

His real purpose is to make the mutant bat lower its flying height, because Kaito Kidd has fixed it on the ceiling with suction cup gloves. If the mutant bat flies too high, it can directly touch it, so the ambush will be meaningless. .

When Kaitou Kid was fixed on the ceiling, he also wrapped his figure with a cloak.

Even if the mutant bat uses sonic positioning to detect something on the ceiling, it will only be a strange-shaped object, and it will not know that it is a person.

In addition, there happened to be a "person" running away in front of them. The concept of thinking did not exist in the minds of mutant human bats. They would not have thought that there was a person hiding on the ceiling.

In fact, even if the wire is not used, Kaitou Kidd is hiding quietly on the ceiling, and the mutant bat will most likely not be able to find him, but the wire is still installed just in case.

In order to prevent other human-bats that might exist in Wayne Tower from being attracted, Kidd tied up the two mutant human-bats with ropes, threw them into the office at the end of the corridor, and left them as quickly as possible. left here.

Follow the route straight to the control room in Wayne Tower.

Along the way, Kaito Kidd also ran into three mutant human bats, which were found in different locations each time.

But this time, unlike the previous times when there was only one way to go, there were other routes to go around without having to face them.

Kaitou Kidd didn't want to waste time fighting with the mutant bat. As long as there were other paths, he would take that path without hesitation.

I don’t know if it’s because Batman often walks through ventilation ducts and is well aware of the risks involved. The vents in Wayne Tower are made very small, making it difficult for even babies to crawl inside, let alone adults.

This also gives Kaitou Kidd one less shortcut.

Just as Phantom Thief Kidd rushed to the control room of Wayne Tower, on the other side, Batman, who was piloting a Bat-fighter to lure away countless mutant bats, smelled an unusual smell.

"During this period, Kaitou Kidd should have reunited with Lucius, but Lucius did not send a signal to me..."

Batman's eyes narrowed, and suspicion suddenly rose in his heart.

"Did I be deceived by Kaitou Kidd? Or did Lucius have an accident?"

He tried calling Lucius's communication device, but got no response.

"Something's wrong... I ordered Lucius to notify me as soon as he sees Kaitou Kidd, but I didn't tell Kidd the location of Lucius. The surveillance system of Wayne Tower can monitor it. At every turn, Lucius should have spotted Kid before he was found, unless...Kid hacked into Wayne Tower's surveillance system, but there's no reason he would."

Batman frowned, the doubts in his heart getting deeper and deeper.

"Did a large number of man-bats break into Wayne Tower? But there is no entrance made by man-bats outside the building, and the employees of the group have already been evacuated. There shouldn't be anyone inside except Lucius."

“What the hell happened at Wayne Tower?”

Even though he was extremely worried, Batman couldn't go to Wayne Tower to find out what was going on at this time.

There were too many mutant bats attracted by his ultrasonic waves. Even with the power of the bat fighter, it was very difficult to escape from the encirclement. The hard outer armor was already covered with scratches.

Although it may not cause serious damage for the time being, over time, the Bat Fighter may not be able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of mutant bats.

Suddenly, a communication signal was transmitted to the Bat Fighter.

The source of the signal is Batgirl!

Batman picked up the signal immediately.

"Batman, Francine Langstone is missing!"

The next second, Bat Girl's urgent voice rang out.

"When did this happen?"

Batman asked immediately.

"About a month ago!"
