Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"One month! No one found out for such a long time? Where are her neighbors? Doesn't Francine work in a subsidiary of Wayne Group? An employee disappeared for a whole month, and her colleagues and boss were completely Don’t you think it’s strange?”

Hearing this, Batman's face darkened.

"I have contacted the manager of Wayne Biological Laboratory. He said that Francine called him a month ago to ask for a long leave. Considering her husband's affairs, he thought that Francine should rest for a while. Time is a good thing, so I agreed without much thought.”

Batgirl replied.

"As for Francine's neighbors, I asked them one by one. They only knew that no one had been in or out of her house for a long time. They didn't know when she disappeared. Five out of ten surveillance cameras nearby were broken. "It is impossible to determine how Francine disappeared, but she definitely did not leave voluntarily."

"Because the door to her house showed signs of being pried open, but not a single item was missing, and there was no record of Francine's booking on the flight, ferry or rail system a month ago, I'm sure she was there He was kidnapped before he even entered the house.”

Batman thought for a while and then said: "The reason why Francine was kidnapped can only be the human-bat serum, but she herself does not know the information about the serum, so the purpose of those people who kidnapped her is only..."

"To threaten Kurt Langstone!"

Batgirl continued what Batman said.

"Now we just have to wait for news from Robin. I hope he can find some clues in Arkham Asylum."

Not long after, the Batfighter's communication signal receiver rang again, and this time it was Robin calling.

"Batman, Francine Langstone has been kidnapped!"

As soon as the signal was connected, Robin's anxious voice came out.

"Yes, can you tell us something we don't know?"

Batgirl asked, and Robin was surprised that she was also on the communication channel.

"Batgirl? Are there any results from your investigation?"

"Yes."

"So you've roughly guessed the whole story of Francine's kidnapping, so I'll keep it brief."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Robin continued.

"A month ago, someone found Kurt Langstone under the pretext of a prison visit and showed him the photo of Francine being kidnapped. In this way, they obtained the formula of the human-bat serum from him."

"Before completing his research on the human-bat serum, Kurt had anticipated that the current situation might occur, so he had long ago hidden a backup of the human-bat serum research data somewhere else. He told the kidnappers where the backup was hidden."

"Through the information obtained from the Arkham guard, I found out that the person who visited Kurt in prison was an unknown member of the Penguin Gang. It was obvious that he was instructed by a higher-up to threaten Kurt Langstone."

Robin told all the information he had found out during this period in one breath.

"Penguin Gang..."

Batman's eyes gradually became sharp. Could it be that the Penguin was the mastermind behind all this?

Recalling that a few hours ago, the Penguin led his men to fight a fierce battle with the Mask Society, as if they were determined to fight evil for the sake of Gotham justice. But now it is discovered that the Man-Bat Virus is suspected to be related to the Penguin Gang?

But the question is, what is the reason for Penguin to spread the Man-Bat virus? He has no motive to do so!

If it were the group of mentally ill criminals in Arkham Asylum, it would be difficult to understand their motives for committing crimes, but it is impossible for the Penguin to do things without reason.

Things are becoming more and more confusing.

-

Wayne Building.

After going through untold hardships, Kaito Kidd finally arrived outside the monitoring room.

As soon as he arrived here, he was attracted by a long trail of horrifying blood on the ground.

Judging from the traces, it seemed as if someone had been dragging a bleeding body towards the monitoring room not long ago.

On the ground next to the door of the monitoring room, a mutant bat lay on the ground, its body charred black and it was already dead.

There were more than a dozen broken holes on the ceiling, and a thick electric wire hung from one of the holes. The wire was cut off and just touched the body of the mutant bat.

Even now, the broken wires are still flashing dazzling electric light, and you can tell with your eyes that the voltage is extremely high.

Whoosh!

Kaito Kidd pulled out a card gun, aimed a sharp playing card at the wires on the ceiling, and instantly cut off the hanging broken wires, causing the electric light to suddenly go out.

After all, the blood on the ground can conduct electricity, and Kaito Kidd doesn't want to be hit by the high-voltage electric current.

"Someone must have entered the monitoring room not long ago."

Kaito Kidd bent down, wiped the blood on the ground with his gloves, and said to himself.

He walked straight over and opened the door of the monitoring room, and as expected, it was locked.

The door of the monitoring room is also an electronic door and cannot be pried.

But this did not pose a problem for Kaito Kidd. He just flicked his finger and an ID card appeared in his hand.

This ID card was found in the office where he entered through the window, and it should be a spare card.

I held the card over the sensor and swiped it over it, and the door of the monitoring room was opened.

Kaito Kidd pushed open the door and walked in.

Then he saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground in the monitoring room, only two meters away from the door, with bloodstains extending backwards from his body.

It was obvious that this person was the source of the bloodstains outside.

But when Kaito Kidd turned the man over, he was shocked to find that he was none other than Lucius Fox whom he was looking for!

He came to the monitoring room to find Lucius's location through surveillance, but he found that Lucius was in the monitoring room. It was really fate and a coincidence.

after a while……

"Hey! Hey! Mr. Fox, time is running out now, wake up!"

what sound?

In a deep coma, Lucius faintly heard someone's voice.

Is someone calling you?

Impossible, I'm already dead...

"Mr. Fox?"

Suddenly! Lucius opened his eyes and woke up from his coma.

Then, a figure wearing a white top hat and a monocle came into view, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Kaitou Kidd?"

Lucius murmured.

He sat up and found that his whole body was wrapped in bandages and the bleeding from the wound had stopped.

"Are you feeling okay? I'm not proficient in medical skills, I just helped you stop the bleeding."

Kaito Kidd asked.

feels good!

This was Lucius's real thought. Although his injuries were still serious, he was no longer in danger and could hardly even feel the pain.

It is definitely not as simple as what Kaito Kid said, "It's just a matter of stopping the bleeding."

This is indeed the case. When Kaito Kidd came in, Lucius's condition was already not optimistic and he was in a completely critical state.

The huge amount of blood loss almost took his life. If Kaito Kidd had arrived two or three minutes later, he would probably have died.

Waking up Lucius in this state is almost like a race against death. How could it be just a matter of stopping the bleeding?

Kaito Kidd used the recovery medicine exchanged in the system. Although the effect was not as strong as the zombie skeleton, it was still a big problem for Lucius to restore the blood color in his body that had lost too much blood.

"Mr. Fox, I know you are seriously injured, but I have a more urgent mission here, so I have to wake you up."

Looking at Lucius, Kaito Kidd said solemnly.

(Are there any problems with my recent writing, everyone? Feel free to tell me if you have any ideas. Also, two-in-one means combining the words of the previous two chapters into one chapter)

Chapter 208: Kaito Kidd's Elevator Horror

"Why are there mutant bats in Wayne Tower?"

Kaitou Kidd looked at Lucius and asked.

"I remember that everyone here should have evacuated. It is impossible for mutant bats to come in."

"Initially, I had the same idea as you, Kaitou Kidd."

Lucius answered.

"About half an hour ago, I received a notification from Batman. He asked me to wait for your arrival in Wayne Tower. At that time, we all thought that the building would be safe, but we were wrong."

At this point, Lucius sighed and continued: "It is true that all Wayne Group employees have evacuated, but this building is not empty!"

"A few hours ago, when the Masked Club besieged Wayne Tower, they sent a small team into the building to search for Bruce's whereabouts. However, it wasn't long before the Masked Club moved to Robinson Park."

Kaitou Kidd's expression changed.

"It seems that you have already thought of it. Yes, when the Mask Club left, they did not take all the members with them. There were still twenty or thirty people left in Wayne Tower."

"Tsk, Mask Club, these people are really haunted."

Kaito Kidd clicked his tongue and said in wonder.

"At that time, everyone was relieved that the Mask Club had retreated. No one had the heart to count their numbers, so we subconsciously thought that all of them had left."

As a result, when Lucius hurried back to Wayne Tower, he was unprepared and encountered a mutant bat attack.

Fortunately, he took the main entrance route and took the elevator directly to the floor with the monitoring room. He happened to encounter a mutant bat not far from the monitoring room, giving Kaitou Kid a chance to save his life.

Otherwise, if Lucius had been attacked anywhere other than the control room, he would probably be helpless by now.

At that time, even if Kaitou Kidd finds Lucius's location through the monitoring room, he will not be able to save him, because the gap between "recovery" and "resurrection" is like a chasm.

Especially in the system mall, the prices of resurrection props are frighteningly high. Not to mention that Kaitou Kidd doesn't have so many exclamation points. Even if he did, he couldn't really spend that much to revive Lucius.

After all, they are just two strangers who have nothing in common.

Because Lucius was too seriously injured, he lost consciousness after barely hiding in the control room and had no time to send a signal to Batman.

"In other words, there are at least twenty mutant human bats lurking in this building at this moment..."

Kaitou Kidd walked into the monitoring room and looked at the monitoring screen above.

"Nearly half of the surveillance images are dark, and only eight mutant bats can be seen in the surveillance footage."

Except for the two mutant human bats that were defeated by Kaitou Kidd at the beginning and the one that was electrocuted at the door of the control room, there are at least nine more mutant human bats whose locations are unknown.

"Mr. Fox, do you know where the drug amplification diffusion device is hidden in Wayne Tower?"

After writing down the known location of the mutant man-bat, Kaito Kidd turned to Lucius and asked.

"You are talking about the Chocolat device. It is hidden in the laboratory numbered A4869 on the th floor."

Lucius replied, and then he took out an ID card from his clothes and handed it to Kaitou Kidd.

"Only by using my card can I have the permission to enter there. My current physical condition cannot go with you, but I can contact you in the control room, and I will instruct you how to operate the Chocolat device. "

Kaitou Kidd nodded, put the ID card away, and then turned around and left.

Just after taking a few steps, Lucius's voice sounded again.

"Kaitou Kidd...thank you for saving my life. Robin is right. You are a good person at heart."

Kaitou Kidd paused and continued walking outside the control room without looking back.

Lucius watched Kaitou Kidd walk out the door, praying in his heart that the latter could arrive successfully. At this moment, the hopes of countless people in Gotham were in the hands of Kaitou Kidd.

He didn't just stay there stupidly. As the door closed, Lucius dragged his seriously injured body and limped to the monitoring desk to sit down. At the same time, he sent a message to Batman explaining what had just happened. everything of.

-

At the same time, countless media workers in Gotham City watching the live broadcast also silently prayed for Kaitou Kidd in their hearts and wished him smooth operations.

Some people are condemning the Mask Club and the Black Mask who formed the club.

"I really can't believe that there are so many bat monsters in the Wayne Tower that should be empty. The Masked Club really doesn't do anything about personnel. Black Mask is really a disgusting criminal. What happened in Gotham today He is to blame for all bad things!”

Some people also changed their view of Kaito Kidd because of his actions in saving Lucius's life.

"Originally, I thought that Kaitou Kidd was just a selfish and vain thief with no interest in him. Even if he said he wanted to steal the virus, I never believed it. But now I can confirm that I used to be interested in Kaitou Kidd." The misunderstanding is too big."

Others were surprised by Kaitou Kidd's method of dealing with mutant bats.
