Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Director, let your people re-establish the encirclement quickly, Cicero, I will guard it!"

Gordon nodded solemnly and immediately rushed to maintain order.

"I guess the pink diamond is hidden on you, right? It's not lost yet, right?"

Robin turned his head and looked directly into Cicero's eyes and asked, although the question was asked in an affirmative tone.

"伱...how do you know?"

Cicero, who had previously been thinking about how to hide this from Gordon, suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost and couldn't believe it.

"That's not the point, as long as the diamond is still on you."

Robin looked at the chaotic situation behind him and said to Cicero: "Kidd will definitely come to find you. We have to move to a safe place, and -"

At this point, Robin paused, and his eyes that looked directly at Cicero suddenly became extremely sharp.

"I'm very interested in the real secret of this 'Pink Dream'. What kind of scam does Kaitou Kidd want to expose tonight?"

Hearing this, Cicero's pupils shrank instantly. Robin's words already showed that he knew that diamond counterfeiting was only one part of the Penguin's true intention, not the core secret.

"Someone is starting to approach here. I'm not sure if there's Kaitou Kidd among them. Let's move first."

Robin grabbed Cicero, and at some point he held the grapple gun in his hand, and fired it towards the entrance of the entire venue.

Pressing the button on the handle, the hook lock gun began to retract the rope at high speed, leading Robin and Cicero to move quickly towards the door.

Tear!

At this moment, a flying knife suddenly passed through the air and cut the rope shot by the hook lock gun.

Robin and Cicero fell in a sense of weightlessness. The latter fell to the ground with a plop, but Robin adjusted his body in time at the moment of falling and landed smoothly.

Looking towards the direction where the flying knife came from, a woman wearing a mask and holding a dagger was walking towards this side with eager eyes.

"Hmph! This loser, Cicero, was actually caught by Robin. The secret of the boss's use of diamonds was probably revealed to this loser. I already knew that it was not a good idea to cooperate with such a coward."

Lark glanced sideways at Cicero and thought disdainfully.

"who are you?"

Robin felt a dangerous aura from the woman in front of him, which was completely different from the feeling given by Kaitou Kidd.

"Get out of here, kid! What I want is the person next to you. You'd better stay out of your own business!"

Lark flashed the dagger in his hand, and the threat was clear, "Normally you can follow Batman to show off your power, but today there is no big bat to protect you."

As soon as these words came out, Robin's expression changed instantly, and an unknown fire appeared out of thin air, rushing straight up from his lower abdomen to the Tianling Gai.

"I - never - need - Batman's protection!"

I saw Robin rushing towards Lark with a swish, raised his fist and punched Lark in the abdomen at an alarming speed.

Why do so many people see themselves as Batman's vassals? We are partners! They are equal to each other! This is not a game for adults to play with children!

Robin seemed to have some resentment in his heart that needed to be vented.

"You're a kid looking for death."

Lark's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he bowed his body backward to avoid Robin's fist. The dagger in his right hand also moved at the same time, stabbing Robin's arm hard.

Although Robin was angry in his heart, his mobility was not affected at all. He quickly leaned down to avoid the dagger, and then kicked Lark's calf with a sweeping kick.

The whole set of actions was so quick and concise that there was no time to think. Everything was done subconsciously by Robin.

"Shet!"

With a scream, Lark's body instantly lost weight and fell to the ground with a plop.

Robin took advantage of the situation to pursue, and immediately knocked away Lark's dagger, then pressed on her and locked Lark's upper body.

Just as the two were wrestling, Cicero suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder, which almost scared him to death.

"who is it!"

Looking back, Cicero breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Greylettard, the boss of Ethan International Shipping Company, and he was one of his own.

"Lark is holding Robin back now. We have to take this opportunity to run away quickly. The diamond is still with you, right? As long as the diamond is protected, the boss won't be so angry."

Graytard dragged Cicero up and ran with him toward the door.

"Thank you... thank you. The diamond is still in my pocket and has not been lost."

Cicero said gratefully. At this time, his heart was filled with the joy of the rest of his life, and he ignored a very important thing.

With Greyletard's rich figure and dragging a person with him, the running speed seems a bit too fast...

On the other side, Robin, who had just locked Lark, noticed that Cicero was taken away by a big fat man who didn't know where he came from, and the unusual speed of movement of this big fat man.

"That's Kaitou Kidd!"

Robin was very aware of Greylatard's identity and was about to catch up, but he found that his leg was being held.

"Do you think I'll let you escape? Kid!"

Lark grabbed Robin's left leg with both hands and shouted.

"I don't have time to argue with you!"

Robin said coldly, slamming an elbow into Lark's face, and the latter was knocked unconscious on the spot.

Chapter 29 Pink Dream

Gotham International Hotel, in the corridor outside the auction venue on the 18th floor, Gray Letard was running wildly with Cicero on his back.

"Today's auction has been completely disrupted. It is almost impossible for Mr. Penguin's transaction to proceed normally. How angry will he be? Can I still live on?"

Cicero asked feebly from Grayletard's back.

"Honestly, I don't know. No one can figure out the boss's temper. Maybe he doesn't take your matter seriously at all."

Greytard comforted.

"I hope so."

Cicero sighed.

"You have never cooperated with our Penguin Gang before. The reputation of the Gotham International Hotel is pretty good. All the people who come and go here are Gotham's dignitaries. There is no need for you to hang out with the rest of us. Why did you suddenly agree? Let our fake diamonds participate in the auction?”

At this time, Greytard suddenly asked doubtfully.

"Please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I'm really curious about why you helped the boss. Did he send someone to point a gun at your wife's head, or did he threaten to castrate your son?"

At this point, Graytard seemed to suddenly realize that what he said was inappropriate and apologized to Cicero.

"Sorry, many people have tried to bribe you with money before, but you have never agreed, so I always thought you were a moral hypocrite. The reason why I asked you this question is not out of pure curiosity. I only know you and the gang. Only when the relationship is really close can you analyze your boss’s attitude towards you.”

"It's Okiervi. Mr. Penguin sent him to discuss this business with me...I, I don't want to think of that memory, it's too scary..."

Worry about the future made Cicero feel confused at this time, and his mind was so muddy that he could not hear the loopholes in Greytard's words.

"Ignatius O'Kilwe?"

Graytard said with a look of sudden realization.

"It turns out to be him. No wonder you are so frightened."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a sharp shout.

"Put that man down, Kaitou Kidd!"

Robin caught up and came prepared.

He wears a translucent gas mask on his mouth, which can effectively resist all kinds of toxic gases known on the earth. This is the one he wore in the temporary storage room for bids.

The dull and ordinary eye mask on his face has been replaced with special sunglasses that can greatly reduce the stimulation of bright light and even have infrared sensing function.

In this way, means such as flash lights, smoke bombs, and tear gas will not work on Robin.

"Weird... strange... Kaitou Kidd?"

Hearing Robin's shout, Cicero's face suddenly froze, and his eyes looking at 'Greytard' were filled with horror.

A cold air rushed up his back, making him shiver uncontrollably. His heart was ashen and his hands and feet were cold.

Did he just reveal the secret deal between himself and the Penguin to Kidd?

"Oops, exposed."

Dean shook his head helplessly and smiled sheepishly.

"Robin, since you want this scared guy so much, then I have to give him back to you."

I saw the "Greytard" that was running suddenly stopped suddenly, grabbed Cicero's wrists on his back with both hands, and then made a 180-degree turn and threw him backwards. .

The moment Cicero let go, Dean raised his right hand, grabbed the collar, and pulled it down hard.

His clothes, pants and even his face were all torn off, revealing his true appearance like a golden cicada peeling off its shell.

Kaitou Kidd!

"It's in really good condition, but it's a pity it's fake."

At some point, a small piece of pink diamond appeared in Kaito Kidd's hand, cut into a very standard olive shape, very beautiful.

With a slight flip of his hand, the diamond disappeared. It was unknown where it was hidden by Kaitou Kidd.

On the other side, Cicero was rushing toward Robin.

Robin's eyes were firm, and he moved slightly to the side, allowing Cicero to fall straight to the ground, while his speed in pursuing Kidd did not slow down at all.

"Tsk, Robin, you didn't even pick up that person. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to him if he was thrown?"

Kaitou Kidd saw that Robin ignored Cicero and rushed towards him, so he had to run behind him, complaining about Robin's indifference to others.

"Hmph! You used at least 60% of the force in throwing the person away just now. Even if Cicero fell to the ground, he would only scratch his skin a little bit. In comparison, chasing you is of course more important!"

Robin, who has been trained by Batman for many years, has considerable attainments in dozens of fighting techniques. In other words, he is already familiar with the most basic ways of exerting force.

Robin could clearly see how much strength Kaito Kidd had used just now and what kind of effect it would have.

Hearing Robin's words, Kaitou Kid's eyelids twitched unconsciously. Is this vision too sharp? Will Batman still teach this technique? And Robin is still so young. If he practices for ten or eight years, what will he become?

It's impossible to know what a person is going to do next just by looking at his body movements, right?

At this moment, a voice that was extremely familiar to Robin sounded from behind him, and the voice was full of anxiety.

"Robin! Something big...is bad! Leave Kaitou Kid alone and come back quickly!"

Alfred!

Hearing Alfred's anxious shouts, Robin stopped without thinking and hurriedly turned back to confirm what happened to Alfred.

However, except for Cicero, who fell to the ground and doubted his life, there was no sign of Alfred in the corridor behind him.

"Oh! Dear Robin, please take a few steps forward and I will be right in front of you."

Robin didn't stupidly move forward, but turned around again with a dark face and looked at Kaitou Kid.

He knew that it must be the latter who placed a loudspeaker or some other device on Cicero.

I saw Kaitou Kidd, who took this opportunity to run forward a lot, turned around, smiled at him, and at the same time flashed an object that looked like a headset in his hand.

Kaitou Kid put the headset to his mouth and said, "Robin, my dearest magical boy, what do you want to eat when you get home? I can cook you the best Chinese cuisine."

The words were spoken by Kaitou Kidd, but the voice that Robin heard came from Cicero. The timbre was exactly the same as that of Alfred. Even Robin, who had been with Alfred day and night, could not hear the voice. difference.

While this made Robin look grim, he was once again shocked by Kaitou Kid's ability to simulate human voices without props.

Shocked, Robin would not give up chasing Kidd because of this small delay. He spread his legs and sprinted all the way, a few points faster than before.

A corridor in a hotel cannot be infinitely long. It will eventually reach a corner.

Right now, Kaito Kidd was about to run to the corner at the end of the corridor, and Robin's pause caused a certain gap in position between the two.

When Kaitou Kid turned the corner, Robin inevitably lost Kid's figure in his sight.

And when Robin also turned the corner...

"what--"
