Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Calm down, Rogers, what happened?"

The mayor was confused by the strange situation at home and asked quickly.

"Master, you...your most beloved Zhe Ai Blue Stone is being targeted!"

With worry written all over Rogers' face, he took out a strange black card from his arms and handed it to the mayor.

The mayor took the card with a puzzled look on his face. After briefly glancing at it, his expression suddenly changed.

"Tonight at 3:33 in the morning, I will visit your mansion and take away the dazzling Eye of the Sky.

Yours sincerely, Phantom Thief Black Crow"

Sorry, this chapter was unfortunately blocked before, and the plot written later was also deleted. Therefore, some readers who saw the chapter before the blocking may find that a lot of content is missing in the second half. The starting currency is only seven points, but it has been modified now. It’s over, I’m not making excuses, Yuzi has screenshots to prove it. As we all know, the starting point is to collect one point for every two hundred words, so two thousand words are ten points. Sharp-eyed readers should be able to find that only seven points are collected from the 2094 words in this chapter. This is because hundreds of words have been deleted for shielding, although it is now revised. The ban has been lifted, but the charge is still based on the original deleted word count, which is equivalent to spending points to watch points of content.

Chapter 219: Waterloo just after debut?

"What! Kaitou Kidd is targeting my beloved gem?"

This familiar behavior of foreshadowing theft instantly reminded the mayor of Gotham of Kaitou Kidd, and his whole heart suddenly lifted.

So much so that he didn't bother to read the signature at the bottom of the notice.

That's Kaito Kidd. Even Batman can't do anything to him!

Can the security level of the mayor's mansion alone be enough to stop Kaitou Kidd?

A few drops of cold sweat slid down the mayor's forehead, and he thought uneasily in his heart.

Although he didn't want to say it, he could only admit this fact.

A strong sense of crisis and despair crept into the mayor's heart. If he was just an ordinary rich man, it would be fine. Anyway, Kidd would return the gems after stealing them, and there would be no actual economic losses at all.

But the problem is that he is the mayor of Gotham, the highest official in the city, and he can be said to represent the face of Gotham to a certain extent.

If Kid, the thief, could enter and exit the mayor's mansion freely and steal the treasures stored there, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Gotham government.

Although the city government's reputation in Gotham is already very poor...

However, when the mayor was despairing about his imaginary future, the voice of his old butler Rogers suddenly sounded.

"No, sir, this warning letter is not from Kaito Kidd!"

Ok?

The mayor was stunned when he heard this, then looked down, and sure enough he found that the word at the bottom of the notice was the Phantom Thief 'Black Crow', not Kidd.

Moreover, the style of the notice letter is also a little different. The card of this notice letter is black and the text on it is white. Kidd's notice letter is just the opposite.

At the same time, in the lower left corner of this notice, there is also a cartoon avatar similar to the lower right corner of Kidd's notice.

For some reason, this trailer doesn't feel like a parody of Kaito Kidd at all, but rather like an enemy of Kaitou Kidd, his opposite in every way.

"The Phantom Thief Black Crow? Who is it? I don't remember there being a thief with this codename in Gotham."

After chanting this unfamiliar name twice, the mayor was sure that there was no one with this name in his memory.

To be the mayor of Gotham, you must first understand the criminals in this city. Who are the dangerous entities that need to be focused on and who are the insignificant minions? You must remember these clearly.

Ninety percent of people with names like Kaitou Black Crow who have never heard of them are newcomers who have just embarked on the road of crime.

Therefore, the urgency in the mayor's heart suddenly dissipated.

"Since it's not a warning from Kaitou Kidd, there's nothing to worry about."

Thinking of this, the mayor's face suddenly returned to calmness, and even showed a bit of ridicule and disdain.

"Rogers, this guy called Phantom Thief Black Crow is probably just an imitator of Phantom Thief Kidd. He is not much different from those pirated Kidds that often appeared in Gotham some time ago."

"It's all because you made such a fuss, making me think something big happened at home and was startled, but you showed me this in a panic?"

The mayor waved the notice letter towards Rogers and said in a dissatisfied tone.

The panic on Rogers' face remained unabated. He shook his head desperately and asked, "Sir, do you know how this notice was discovered?"

"Ok?"

The mayor gave him a strange look.

"How did you find it? Isn't it because a servant inadvertently found the card in a familiar place while working? This is how Kaito Kidd's previous notice letters were found, and his imitators should also follow this habit."

"No, sir."

Who knows, Rogers shook his head, and then nodded again, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed with the mayor's guess.

"This notice letter... was found in the glass cabinet of Zhe Ai Blue Stone!"

Rogers spoke.

"What did you say?"

The mayor couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, you heard it right. I saw this notice letter from the glass cabinet in the middle where the Zhe'ai Blue Stone is stored when I was passing by the collection room."

"The card is not stuck on the outside of the glass cabinet, but actually placed inside! And there is an extra hole on the top of the glass cabinet that can just fit an arm!"

Rogers said with a lingering fear on his face.

"In other words, this person sneaked in unknowingly, evaded all our monitoring equipment and security measures, and came to the location of Zhe'ai Blue Stone unimpeded."

"Wait a minute, Rogers, something's wrong..."

At this time, the mayor stopped Rogers and asked with a look of disbelief.

"You said that the warning letter of the Phantom Thief Black Crow was found in the glass cabinet. Doesn't that mean that he has been able to steal the blue stone? Why didn't he just take the stone away instead of putting a warning letter? "

"This...I don't know."

Rogers lowered his head.

"By the way, what time is it tonight?"

Suddenly, the mayor remembered the time on the notice letter and quickly lifted up his sleeves to look at his watch.

"At 00:53 midnight, there are still more than two hours left before the predicted time."

"Sir, do you want to notify the GCPD?"

Rogers asked.

"Then you still need to ask? Contact Jim Gordon immediately and send someone over! But don't think about relying on the GCPD. It may be too late. We still have to rely on ourselves to protect the Blue Stone!"

At this moment, the mayor of Gotham had a hint of courage in his eyes and ordered to Rogers.

"Rogers, go and mobilize all the bodyguards here to the collection room. I will never allow anyone to steal the Zhe Ai Blue Stone, not even Kaitou Kidd!"

after a while.

In the Gotham Mayor's Residence, the mayor, Rogers and more than 20 tall and powerful bodyguards came to the collection room and gathered around the glass cabinet of Zhe Ai Sapphire.

I saw that the transparent glass cabinet did have a hole through which an arm could be inserted, and directly below the hole, a blue gem lay quietly on the red cloth, shining brightly.

"Sir, it is well known that Kaito Kidd is particularly good at disguise. If this strange crow has the same skill, then it is very likely that he is hiding among us now."

Rogers leaned close to the mayor and whispered.

"Yes, Rogers, you're right."

The mayor looked at Rogers calmly and said, and then his eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

"Because you are the Phantom Thief Black Crow!"

Swish, swish, swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 bodyguards in the field all pointed their guns at Rogers.

I saw the mayor walking to the glass cabinet of Zhe Ai blue stone, with cold eyes, he stretched out his hands, clamped the top of the cabinet and lifted it up.

The next moment, the top cover of the glass cabinet was lifted entirely, but what was exposed below was not a gem, but another airtight top cover!

To be precise, this is the real top cover of the glass cabinet. The glass cover with holes on it is just covering the original glass cabinet to create the illusion of a hole.

This phenomenon means that Rogers was lying when he said he found the notice in the glass case.

In the current situation, there is only one possibility for people who lie like this.

"How did you figure it out, Lord Mayor?"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, Rogers simply stopped pretending.

Next, he made an unexpected move.

Chapter 220 Kaitou Kidd? Will definitely replace it!

Gotham, the mayor's mansion.

In the collection room, surrounded by more than 20 bodyguards, "Rogers" suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled it down sharply.

tear-

The entire butler's uniform was ripped off and thrown aside in an instant. Hidden under the plain butler's uniform was an exquisite black suit.

Not only had the clothes changed, but the old butler's face had also changed to that of another person, as if he was several decades younger.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the old butler Rogers turned into a young man wearing a black suit and a black top hat.

The dark cloak fluttered in the wind behind him, making waves.

At first glance, the Phantom Thief Black Crow is simply a replica of the Phantom Thief Kidd. The only difference apart from the color is that the monocle he wears on his face does not emit any unnatural reflection.

At least in the dimly lit collection room, the monocle of Phantom Thief Black Crow has no reflection at all.

Therefore, he has no way to use reflections to cover his face like Kaitou Kidd, and he still needs to wear the mask he should wear.

"This...is this? The one just now..."

Everyone in the field widened their eyes in surprise.

It's not that they were surprised because they had never seen it before. On the contrary, they knew the action very well, and some of them had even seen it multiple times.

That's Kaitou Kid's signature skill - instant disguise!

"So besides Kaitou Kidd, is there anyone else in Gotham who knows this technique?"

Every bodyguard at the scene thought as if facing a formidable enemy.

With that move just now, it was enough to prove that the person in front of him was definitely not a simple Phantom Thief imitator.

"It seems that my disguise skills are still lacking. I didn't expect to be recognized by Mr. Mayor so quickly... But that's it for now, so let me introduce myself."

The man who had completed his disguise said to himself calmly, completely ignoring the more than 20 gun-toting bodyguards surrounding him.

"My name is Black Crow, the Black Crow who will kill Kaitou Kidd and replace him! If Kaitou Kidd is a white dove living in the light enjoying cheers and applause, then I am a dove hiding in the darkness. A crow waiting for an opportunity."

Phantom Thief Black Crow introduced himself.

"Black crow? Crow?"

Across the way, the mayor of Gotham suddenly raised his eyebrows when he saw the fearless attitude of the strange thief Black Crow.

"I'm not interested in what nickname you want to call you, you dirty and lowly thief! And what are you guys doing standing around? I didn't hire you just to let you watch the show! Hurry and do it for me... "

Just when the mayor of Gotham was about to order the bodyguards to kill the thief Black Crow, the latter suddenly spoke.

"You don't want them to shoot me, do you, Mr. Mayor?"

The corners of Kaitou Black Crow's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"I suggest you don't let them shoot unless you want to kill these loyal bodyguards."

"Do I need to remind you what Kaito Kidd does before he steals?"

Do something?

What else can be done, isn't it to survey the on-site environment in advance and make some props and traps in advance?

The mayor thought in confusion.

"Did he arrange something in this room in advance that could help him get out of the current trap? It's impossible. Not to mention whether he has enough time. I come to the collection room almost every day. I know the texture of every tile here. I remember it very clearly, if there was really a trap, I should have discovered it long ago!"

This Phantom Thief Black Crow must be bluffing!

He wanted to use this kind of words to confuse his inner judgment.
