Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Hearing this, O'Kilwei raised his eyebrows and said in a bad tone: "What did you say! Who did I kill? He was killed by Kaitou Kidd!"

"Kidd the Phantom Thief... no wonder we use playing cards. I understand, boss, it was Kidd the Phantom Thief who killed our companions!"

Chapter 34 Small Surveillance System Jammer

After landing on the ground, Dean glanced thoughtfully at a building in the distance.

When he was on the rooftop, he vaguely noticed someone hiding on the building over there, and thought that the other party was evil, maybe even a sniper or something.

Therefore, Dean appeared defenseless when sliding down on the rope. In fact, he made every move carefully, allowing the wall to block his vital points at all times.

However, when he landed safely and was completely in the opponent's sniper blind spot, the imaginary attack never came.

"Am I worrying too much? Maybe the people over there are just going to the roof to watch the scenery?"

Dean rubbed his chin and thought.

"Forget it, soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth will cover it up. Being a monster thief and being hated by others is inevitable. If you choose this profession, you will have to suffer this old sin."

Although it is estimated that most people are now listening to Vicky Vale exposing the inside story of the scam, there is no guarantee that the GCPD people will arrest Kaitou Kidd and start searching the surrounding area. Dean feels that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he quickly changes his appearance and escapes.

After tossing and turning, going around and around, changing his disguise three times, and playing a guest role as a street hero who defeated several alley robbers, Dean finally made it back to his home.

After returning to the room, Dean couldn't wait to call up the system.

He wanted to see how the operation paid off.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the custom mission - stealing 'Pink Dream' (fake)

Mission Difficulty: Easy

Treasure value: Average (it has no value, but can be exchanged for $50 million)

Gorgeous grade: C+

Comprehensive evaluation: C (basically used, starting to look good)

Rewards obtained: 735 exclamation points (from Gotham’s elite, GCPD police, Jim Gordon, Robin...) + 600 exclamation points (given after completing the mission)."

According to the last experience, the mission report ended here, but the system prompts did not stop.

"Complete the hidden goal and provide key evidence to expose the scam behind 'Pink Dream', and you will be rewarded with an additional 300 exclamation points."

"The account balance is 112 exclamation points, and the total exclamation points are 1747 points."

Dean's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there was such a setting as a hidden target. It was an unexpected surprise.

When he was planning this operation, he didn't actually know that there was money laundering behind "Pink Dream". At first, Dean only thought that the scam was a simple diamond counterfeiting.

In the week before the operation, Dean did not consider investigating Penguin's fundamental purpose of counterfeiting diamonds. After all, Penguin's wealth and status had long exceeded the level of making money by auctioning fakes.

But Dean is a monster thief, not a detective, and he has no secret and reliable source of intelligence, so he only focuses on the counterfeit diamond itself.

But the turning point came quickly. A few hours ago, when Dean sent Dick a misleading challenge to Dick in the restaurant, Vicky Vale happened to appear and claimed that she was here for Gray Letard.

At that time, Vicki went to see Greyletard because of the tip about the influx of illegal assets a few days ago. She wanted to see if she could get something out of Greyletard.

Dean then happens to be disguised as Gray Letard, the seller of 'Pink Fantasy', which is a very good disguise.

In this way, Dean, disguised as Gray Letard, happened to bump into Vicki, and then learned from each other's insinuations that 50 million illegal assets were transferred to Gray Letard's company, which happened to be the "Pink Dream" 'It's going to be auctioned in a few days.

Dean is not a fool, and you won't believe it if there is no problem here.

When we consider that Penguin is unlikely to engage in a low-end business such as auctioning forged diamonds, which will ruin its reputation once and is difficult to sustain for a long time, the suspicion that 'Pink Dream' is a money laundering tool becomes more and more serious.

Later, Dean contacted Lark, the leader of the Penguin Gang, as Gray Letard, and obtained more information from her.

Dean also didn’t expect that there was an industrial chain of black money laundering behind the fake diamond scam, and it actually fit so closely with his notice letter!

Sometimes, things just happen.

Hermes can be a thief who exposes fake diamonds or a messenger who exposes money laundering crimes.

All are correct interpretations.

Who told a god to have so many symbolic meanings...

And in this era, diamond counterfeiting is not a rare thing at all. At most, using the name of Penguin can add some popularity, which is not at the same level as exposing a complete money laundering industry chain.

If Dean wants to earn more wow points, he has to make Kaitou Kidd have more topics to talk about.

So Dean adjusted his action plan without much thought.

Dean was also very satisfied with the final result.

"With over 1,700 exclamation points, there should be more things to choose from."

Open the system panel.

"Name: Dean Suston

Age: 16

Skills: Magic Mastery, Vehicle Mastery, Lockpicking Mastery, Shooting Mastery, Fighting Mastery, Quick Disguise, Voice Change without Props

Items: card gun, hook gun, triangular glider, bulletproof cloak, high-speed self-filling dummy, homemade smoke bomb, homemade flash bomb, homemade tear gas, homemade sleeping gas

Talent: Resistant Skin (Low Level)"

Previously, Dean only had an exclamation value of over a thousand, so Dean changed his luck with a random talent card, and ended up getting a resistant skin, which enhanced his heat resistance, cold resistance, poison resistance and other abilities by 10%.

Although it does not enhance the hardness and resilience of the skin, it can be regarded as strengthening the defense to some extent. If you encounter fireflies, Mr. Freeze or Scarecrow, it should be somewhat useful.

With experience, Dean adjusted the menu to the price range below 2,000 as soon as he opened the exchange mall, and prioritized whether there were skills or props that could save his life, such as counteracting a fatal attack or even resurrection armor.

The result is of course no, you simply cannot buy items of that level at this price.

The next best thing is to see if there is anything that can significantly improve your survivability, including defense, shield, and resistance.

This time there is.

"Secrets of the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt: Practice magical skills and practice hard for ten years to become invulnerable."

Ten years of hard training? Practice your ass!

Dean nodded without hesitation.

The remaining items that can improve survivability are either skills and cheats that need to be practiced by oneself, or various low-level random talent cards. It is not sure what passives can be obtained.

"Forget it, let's look at something else first."

Dean gave up the idea of ​​strengthening his survivability for the time being, waiting to accumulate another wave of exclamation points.

He casually scrolled back through the menu to see if he could find something cheap and practical.

Suddenly, Dean's eyes lit up, this thing is pretty good!

"Small surveillance system jammer: Able to interfere with surveillance cameras within a radius of fifteen meters, causing them to replay the scene one minute ago. Special note: This jammer is limited to optical surveillance equipment manufactured with commonly used technologies on Earth. It is not suitable for use of higher-level technologies. The monitoring equipment is invalid."

"Value: 750 exclamation points."

Chapter 35: Bounty for Kaito Kidd

"Exchange for a small surveillance system jammer, 750 exclamation points will be deducted, leaving 997 exclamation points."

As the exchange was completed, a small object appeared in front of Dean out of thin air, suspended in mid-air by a virtual disk, waiting for him to take it.

This jammer is cylindrical in shape, about the same length as a solid-state drive, and is all black. The start button is at the top, and there are two indicator lights in the middle, red and green. The green light means normal operation, and the red light means the radius is ten There are monitors within five meters that are beyond the conventional technology of the earth.

Dean picked up the jammer, and the virtual tray disappeared.

"I can finally have a good rest."

After finishing everything, Dean rubbed his slightly sore shoulders. He had a lot of work today, especially in addition to his own Phantom Thief mission, he also spent a lot of time working in the kitchen while pretending to be intern Tom. .

Although Dean usually cooked his own meals, this was nothing like working in a hotel kitchen.

Very tired, not just physical fatigue, but a sense of powerlessness that is both physical and mental.

Ask yourself, when Dean trains many high-end magic skills, he exerts much more physical effort than doing those few hours of work, but the physical and mental feeling is completely opposite.

Especially when he thought about going to school again on Monday, Dean felt even more tired.

Sometimes he even thought about dropping out of the private Gotham High School and transferring to Phelps Public High School.

But that's just to think about the public schools here, even Solomon Grandy wouldn't let his kids go...if he had kids.

With these unnutritious thoughts, Dean lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

-

On the other side, the Iceberg Club.

Okiervi and his younger brother transported the sniper's body into the underground secret room. This is the place where the Penguin is specially used to deal with dead bodies, whether they are his own men or the enemies he killed.

In Gotham, there are actually far fewer real murder cases than most people imagine, but the number of cases related to disappearances is a bit unusual.

For example, there's a gang fight almost every night, maybe two, in the East End or in Burnley, it doesn't matter where.

The important thing is that the gang war ended tonight. When the GCPD police came out tomorrow morning, they found that the ground was clean, with no messy fuzzy flesh and blood, and no countless bullet casings. Not even a body was found, but the surrounding The environment can be a little messy.

So the question is, was no one injured in this gang fight? Or are the gunshots during the war all hallucinations of nearby residents?

We don't know, and we dare not ask.

Unless a resident had the courage to call the police in the middle of the fire, the GCPD might encounter some corpses...

The reason why Gotham is called the crime capital has never been because of the superficial reason of too many dead people. Instead, every inch of this city hides crimes that ordinary people can't even imagine.

If there is a city in the world where all kinds of crimes that humans can commit are gathered, and each crime has developed a mature and complete industrial chain, then it must be Gotham.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

There was a knock on the office door.

Penguin, who was browsing the revenue of various industries under his command, raised his head and motioned with his eyes to the two tall bodyguards inside the door to open the door.

I saw O'Kilwei walking in from the door, his face extremely solemn, and it looked like something big had happened.

"Boss, something happened at the auction."

O'Kilwe said with his head lowered, a hint of shame in his tone.

"Did Kaitou Kidd steal the diamond? Or did he see that the diamond was fake? Or...you let him escape?"

After O'Kilwe's words stopped, the Penguin's expression did not change at all, and he just continued to collect the revenue accounts.

Since the news about the auction has not yet been revealed, Penguin, who is far away in the Iceberg Club, does not know the details of the auction.

"It's just a scandal about counterfeiting diamonds. Let Graytard open the media conference and insist that he didn't know that the diamond was fake before he bought it, and then spend some money to bribe a few reporters to write some articles that are beneficial to us. .”

Penguin didn't look back.

"We will re-plan the money laundering plan after a while. As for Roman who needs clean money, let him wait. This time there was an accident, and the fault is on our side. We will take 5% less from him then." 's commission."

"This...boss...things are not that simple..."

O'Kilwe looked embarrassed and hesitated.

"This time our background has been exposed. Kaitou Kidd and Vicki Weir teamed up to launder money and exposed the money laundering. Now Lark and Greylatard have both been caught!"

"Even one of the two snipers I brought died at the hands of Kaitou Kidd!"

As soon as he said this, Penguin suddenly raised his head, stared at O'Kilwei sharply, and said every word.

"Tell me clearly what's going on."

Immediately afterwards, O'Kilwe told the Penguin all the series of things that had happened before.

"...I originally thought that having Lark and Gray Tard in the auction was enough. I only needed to ambush Kaitou Kidd outside, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this."

O'Kilwe sighed, with regret on his face, "When the auction started, I called Sister Luck and reminded her that she must act in accordance with the boss's orders and not act on her own accord. As a result..."

"Kidd the Phantom Thief...Vicky Vale..."

Penguin muttered two names, and suddenly asked O'Kilwei out of the blue: "Aren't you lying in ambush outside the hotel? Why do you know so much about what's going on inside?"

Hearing this, O'Kilwe's heart tightened. The Penguin was indeed not that easy to deceive, but he had already prepared his words.

"Boss, you also know that Sister Luck and Gray Letard have never dealt with me. They are both old men in the gang, and I have only been appreciated by the boss in the past two years, allowing me to control today's affairs remotely. I'm worried I couldn’t suppress them and I was worried about an accident, so I hid the listening device at the auction in advance.”

O'Kilwe said with a wry smile.

"It's not that I don't trust them both, it's just to be on the safe side."
