Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Immediately afterwards, even the water pipe burst, and a huge stream of water poured down from the gap in the water pipe, pouring on the fireflies, instantly extinguishing the flames from the flamethrower.

I'm thinking about a question, that is, it's actually quite comfortable when writing about protagonists and heroes as rivals, because both parties abide by the rules. Even if Batman is written about in the future, there will be many ways to escape. As long as you strictly follow the comics, don't play. Don’t deliberately deify the bad jokes... But when writing villains as opponents, I find it difficult to write. Even third-rate characters like Firefly are not easy to deal with, and the identity of a phantom thief is not suitable for frontal combat and fighting. It's not what he should do. Escape is what he should do. But if he ran away directly, I'm worried that writing it like this will make you think that the protagonist is too weak or not strong enough. This is more difficult to do. place

Chapter 65: You can tell at first glance that he is not a human!

The torrent pouring down from the water pipe became stronger and stronger, and the firefly was suddenly overwhelmed and had to bend down.

"Normal fire hoses cannot have such high water pressure!"

The abnormal pressure on his body made Firefly instantly realize that Kaitou Kidd must have done something in advance.

"Shet! What do Penguin's men do? We agreed to cut off the water supply to the fire pipes, but the water pressure was changed without anyone noticing? Penguin actually had the nerve to tell me that everything was ready?"

Firefly secretly resented it.

Back to two hours ago, when Dean came to the museum to make final arrangements, he arrived at a place filled with a large number of red pipes from the ventilation ducts. That was actually the fire valve center of the entire cultural relics exhibition hall. Connected to the water tower on the rooftop.

At that time, Dean accidentally discovered that the water valves of all the fire water pipes here had been artificially closed, and there was no pipeline in the entire building that was under maintenance and needed to temporarily close the valves.

Logically speaking, this situation cannot happen. If a fire breaks out in the museum, and the fire sprinklers everywhere do not emit water, wouldn't it mean that the fire is allowed to grow bigger?

This is too dangerous, there is definitely something fishy in it.

Dean didn't know at the time that the Penguin had found Firefly to deal with him. He only knew that the dragon egg ruby ​​necklace was the bait used by the Penguin to lure him.

Therefore, he initially thought that the Penguin might blow up the entire exhibition hall or kill himself by setting fire to a large area.

So Dean cleaned up all the tampering done by Penguin's men, and then specially adjusted the water pressure and the sensitivity of the fire sensor, so as to avoid Penguin and others discovering in advance that the fire protection system was back to normal and going back to tamper again.

Only when the flame comes into close contact with the sensor of the fire sprinkler head will the water flow be started, and the increased water pressure at this time will directly burst the water pipe.

Although the water pressure was adjusted to a high level, the fireflies were caught off guard and staggered two steps by the water flow. However, it was definitely unrealistic to say that this could suppress the fireflies and prevent them from moving.

After spending a little effort to straighten up, the firefly walked out of the water.

But the time wasted by taking that cold shower just now was more than enough time for Kaito Kid to slip away from him.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape successfully like this? Kaitou Kidd, I'm not the only one arranged by Penguin."

Looking at the deep and dark corridor in front of him because the fire was extinguished and the light source was lost, Firefly showed a sneer.

He casually flicked the water on the flamethrower, then reduced the fuel ratio, and then tried to pull the trigger. A thin tongue of more than ten centimeters suddenly spurted out.

Firefly has pre-waterproofed the flamethrower so it will not malfunction just because it is splashed with water.

After confirming that the weapon was in good condition, Firefly walked toward the fork twenty meters in front of the corridor, scanning the surroundings up, down, left, and right as he walked.

Soon, Firefly, who walked into the fork in the road, saw a slightly green figure not far away moving deeper.

It turns out that Firefly has installed infrared night vision lenses on its hood, so that it can see the surrounding things clearly even in the exhibition hall with all the lights out.

This is why he is not worried about Kaito Kidd using smoke bombs to hide his figure. Infrared rays can easily penetrate smoke.

In Firefly's eyes, Kaito Kidd's route is clear at a glance.

boom!

A tongue of flame shot out from the flame launcher and swept towards Kaitou Kidd in front of him. The fire suddenly illuminated a large area in the fork in the road.

I saw Kaitou Kidd running just over ten meters away. There were four doors on the left and right of this fork in the road, one of which was three to five meters in front of Kaitou Kidd.

Seeing the light of the fire, Kaitou Kidd immediately understood that it was Fireflies who had launched an attack. Without even thinking about it, he immediately rushed forward, opened the door and dodged in.

A stream of red flames roared past Kaitou Kid's position in an instant.

"It came so quickly."

Kaitou Kidd, who flashed through the door, took a quick look around the room. This was also an exhibition hall, and the main collection was various imitations of famous paintings from the Renaissance.

As for why they are so clearly forgeries, it is because the paintings were not carefully framed, mounted on the wall, and then covered with high-strength glass.

Instead, it was directly propped up on the easel and placed several times around the entire exhibition hall without any protective measures.

There are even world-famous paintings like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa inside.

As we all know, the "Mona Lisa" is now collected in the Louvre Museum in France and cannot appear here.

There is no other explanation other than imitation.

Kaitou Kidd didn't stop moving at all, and quickly released a simulation doll at the first place he saw when he entered the door to attract the attention of the fireflies.

Then he quickly hid in a corner window, using a row of easels as a cover.

To be honest, it's not a very good cover, but there's nothing else in the gallery that can serve as cover.

boom!

There was a loud noise, and Firefly kicked open the door and walked in. At a glance, he saw a figure not far away.

The corners of his mouth hidden under the hood slightly curved into a bloodthirsty arc. He only glanced at Kaitou Kidd's dummy and immediately looked away.

Because in the imaging of infrared night vision devices, the depth of the display is different depending on the temperature of the object.

The temperature of the dummy is naturally much lower than that of the human body, so even if the appearance is the same, Firefly can still tell at a glance that it is not a human being.

Firefly looked into the exhibition hall and soon discovered Kaitou Kid's hiding place.

call!

A stream of flames shot out in that direction, instantly igniting dozens of paintings.

Kaitou Kidd had sharp eyes, and when he saw Firefly ignoring the dummy, he knew that he was about to be exposed, so he prepared to dodge in advance.

When Firefly fired flames in this direction, Kaito Kidd immediately rolled to the side, constantly out of the visible range of Firefly's night vision device.

Although Kaitou Kidd was temporarily missing, Firefly still took his time and did not deliberately look for Kidd.

"Kaitou Kidd, there is only one door behind me in this exhibition hall. If you hide here, you are simply asking for death!"

The firefly stood at the door, shooting flames continuously into the rows of easels, as if waiting for Kaitou Kid to jump out.

In the blink of an eye, all the paintings in the exhibition hall were ignited, and the raging fire spread quickly.

Fireflies continued to emit flames, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.

At this moment, Firefly discovered the figure of Kaitou Kidd behind a painting...

Chapter 66: Robin Arrives Belatedly

In the display of the infrared night vision device, the temperature of the figure just matches the human body temperature, so it cannot be a dummy.

At that time, Firefly, who was wearing a fireproof and heat-insulating uniform, did not notice that he had overlooked a certain fact.

Eager to watch the Phantom Thief being burned to death, Firefly immediately pointed the muzzle of the flamethrower at the figure, grinned ferociously and fired a tongue of flame that instantly engulfed it.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

A miserable wailing sound sounded immediately, and the sound was the same as that of Kaitou Kidd.

Upon hearing this scream, Firefly suddenly showed an intoxicated expression, similar to the way a musician would when listening to Mozart playing the violin himself.

"Scream, scream, scream even worse!"

Firefly increases the power of the flamethrower to output more intense flames.

The increase in room temperature also accelerated.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Kaitou Kidd, who was covered in flames, fell to the ground, rolling around on the ground, and his wails became more and more shrill.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Firefly laughed loudly. At this moment, he only felt comfortable all over his body, and a pleasure that was about to reach its peak shot from bottom to top, straight to the Tianling Cap above his head.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Firefly's laughter stopped.

Because he found that the body temperature of Phantom Thief Kidd displayed on the night vision device was rising rapidly, and it had already exceeded fifty degrees Celsius.

Not to mention that a person's body temperature will not rise rapidly due to being burned by fire. Just talking about the extremely high body temperature of fifty degrees, Kaitou Kidd should have been dead long ago.

But not only was he not dead, he still had the strength to roll on the ground and even scream!

It is absolutely impossible for normal humans to have such tenacious vitality.

The firefly immediately stopped outputting flames and turned to look elsewhere in the exhibition hall.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, because there are "Phantom Thief Kid" everywhere with a body temperature as high as 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.

There are also "Phantom Thief Kid" with a normal body temperature of 36-7 degrees Celsius, but these Kid's are far away from the fire.

In an instant, Firefly's brain was buzzing, and he finally remembered something he had ignored.

Although the temperature of the dummy is much lower than that of a real person under normal circumstances, as long as the materials are used properly and it is roasted by a violent flame, its temperature will soar upwards without deforming, and it is not possible to reach the normal temperature of the human body. Difficult matter.

Generally speaking, the dummies in people's normal impression are made of various silicone rubber foams and the like. They will quickly deform when burned by fire, and they will no longer be humanoid, and of course they will lose their role in confusing people.

That's why Firefly didn't think about the heating of the dummy, nor did it consider that the material of the dummy used by Kaitou Kidd would be so resistant to high temperatures.

cheated!

After realizing this, Firefly's mood suddenly became extremely different, as if he was forcibly stopped just as he was about to reach the top. The frustrated, impatient and angry emotions were clearly revealed on his face.

Unfortunately, it was completely blocked by the full-coverage mask, making it difficult for outsiders to see his face.

"I have always been standing near the door. If anyone comes or goes, I will definitely be discovered. Kaitou Kidd is definitely still in the exhibition hall."

There are dummies whose temperature has increased everywhere within sight, so Firefly simply doesn't need night vision goggles.

He reached out and tapped the hood above his ears, and pressed the button to turn off the infrared night vision mode.

Anyway, all the paintings in the exhibition hall were set on fire. The blazing fire was enough to illuminate the entire space, so there was no need to use night vision goggles.

When Firefly turns off its night vision function, the eye mask becomes an ordinary lens.

The next moment, he saw Kaitou Kidd, who was screaming at the top of his lungs with his hands in a trumpet shape at the corner window.

"Oh! I've been discovered."

Noticing Firefly's gaze, Kaitou Kid immediately put down his hand and smiled sheepishly.

Seeing that Kaitou Kidd still had such a carefree attitude, Firefly felt an unknown fire burning in her chest, and was so angry that veins popped out on her head.

"Kaitou Kidd, you are indeed very clever, but these little tricks can only delay your death at most, but they will not change your fate of being killed by me!"

Aiming the flamethrower at Kaitou Kidd again, Firefly's eyes burst out with infinite killing intent.

"Didn't you notice? Actually, you overlooked another thing."

Just when he was about to pull the trigger, he saw Kaitou Kidd suddenly reaching out and straightening the white top hat on his head, and said calmly.

"It's raining heavily outside. In Gotham, the temperature is already very low at night in early March, and now it's raining so heavily, it's so cold it makes people shiver."

Firefly was stunned when he heard this.

"And you set such a big fire here and raised the indoor temperature in a short period of time. The temperature difference between the inside and outside at this moment is probably dozens of times...haven't you realized it yet? Just a reminder, the windows in the museum are useless. High-strength materials are just ordinary glass.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaitou Kid knocked on the window behind him with his other hand.

With a loud bang, the entire glass window exploded and shattered into countless pieces.

call--

As the glass shattered, a cold wind carrying rain blew in from the window.

Kaitou Kidd's cloak was blown and fluttered wildly.

Wait, cape?

Firefly realized that he had overlooked the third thing. Not long ago, Kaito Kidd had used his cloak to block the flames, and he should have been burned to ashes long ago.

As a result, Kaitou Kidd now has another cloak behind his back?

Where did this guy get so many capes?

There’s no way the cloak is the real thing, right?

"Don't even think about running away!"

Seeing Kaitou Kid trying to jump out of the window, Firefly was about to catch up. He was not afraid that Kaitou Kidd had gliders and could fly.

The two wings on the back of his firefly are not just for decoration!
