Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

After admiring it for a while, Dean felt that he was getting tired of aesthetics, so he put the gems away again.

"Please give it back sometime."

It would be of no use to Dean to keep this thing. Although it was quite valuable, Dean was not very short of money.

Even if Dean really wants to sell the stolen goods from a profit perspective, he has no credible channel.

Could it be possible to find the gangsters in Gotham? Come on, if they can get one-twentieth of the original value, it’s considered a reasonable price.

The Penguin is a little better, I guess it can be given to one-fifteenth, which is the top.

But again, Dean doesn't need this money.

Returning the gems would benefit Dean even more.

Just imagine, a thief who is greedy for money or a monster thief who ignores money, which one is more mysterious, and which one makes people think that this guy may be mentally ill?

Create topics and arouse heated discussions, and the greater the possibility of gaining exclamation points.

Dean considers himself not a generous person, but he can still distinguish the pros and cons.

Unless you really steal a super artifact, such as a mother box, then it is worth keeping.

At this time, Dean's ears suddenly heard a system prompt.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the custom mission - stealing the 'Angel's Blood and Tears' ruby

Mission Difficulty: Easy (Easy, Medium, Hard, Extremely Hard, Desperate Situation, Impossible Mission)

Treasure value: low (low, average, ordinary, excellent, fine, rare, legendary, immeasurable, special note: only treasures with at least one extraordinary characteristic can be evaluated as ordinary quality)

Gorgeous level: C (D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS)

Overall evaluation: C- (average, better than ordinary people)

Reward obtained: 514 exclamation points (obtained midway) + 600 exclamation points (completion of the task), totaling 1114 exclamation points."

After listening to the system prompts, Dean's eyes showed a bit of surprise and joy.

This so-called custom task didn't pop up last time he was in the museum, which was really an unexpected surprise.

Does this mean that the system has opened a new function of publishing tasks?

Dean immediately called up the system to check.

However, when he opened the system interface, he did not find a mission page, and the total number of exclamation points did rise to 1114 points.

Dean touched his chin and fell into thought.

It seems that this system does not have formal "official" tasks, and all actions must be chosen by the host.

In addition to the exclamation points earned during the mission, you will also be rewarded by the system for completing the mission itself.

In general, Dean is very satisfied with this. He does not want to just mechanically complete the tasks issued by the system.

"Now that I have more than a thousand exclamation points, let's see what I can exchange for."

Dean entered the exchange mall with anticipation.

A dazzling array of items filled Dean's sight, causing an earthquake in his pupils.

Not only because of the terrifying effects of those rare treasures, but also because of the prices marked on them.

"Multiple Reality Modifier - can set or modify anything in the multiverse at will, worth one thousand trillion wow points."

"The Five-Five Divine Armor—can perfectly reflect attacks from enemies of any level in the multiverse, and is worth eight hundred trillion exclamation points."

"Krono Shapeda Time Bomb—can destroy entire timelines in the entire multiverse, worth a gigabyte of wow points."

……

Dean was silent for a long time, then changed the order of the mall to price from low to high, and then appeared...

"Cool Beach Fat Times, worth 2 points of exclamation points."

"A high-frequency electric toothbrush, worth 10 exclamation points."

"An abandoned manuscript by an unknown author, worth 5 points of exclamation points."

There is no mess of daily necessities or garbage, no more than thirty points.

Dean said nothing, quickly swiping the interface and directly selecting the price range of 500 to 1,000. The items finally became normal.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Dean discovered an interesting item.

"Low-level resistance talent card - after using it, you can permanently obtain low-level talent resistance skin, worth one thousand exclamation points.

Resistant skin (low level): It can slow down 10% of the trauma caused by special attributes such as burning, freezing, corrosion, toxins, etc., and speed up the healing of such wounds. "

After thinking for a while, Dean immediately decided to redeem this talent card.

With his current strength and financial resources, strengthening his defense capabilities is the best option.

After the exchange was completed, Dean left the place with satisfaction.

-

Some time later, the Gotham Museum of Art.

Due to the theft of the Angel Blood and Tear Gem, and the large number of petals and cards covering the central exhibition hall, the museum had to close early.

The museum, including tourists, security guards and other staff, was carefully checked by the GCPD before leaving, but in the end no gems were found.

Gordon even conducted a round of screening within the police force, but the results remained unchanged.

No one knows how Kaitou Kidd suddenly appeared, and no one knows how he suddenly disappeared.

Even the museum's surveillance cameras failed to capture a single image of Kaito Kidd.

It would be fine if Kaitou Kidd were dressed in a low-key style, which would be very useful for concealment. However, he is dressed in white from head to toe, so he should be very conspicuous at night.

However, the fact is that he left no clues for the police.

It’s so unbelievable, it’s simply a fantasy!

On the lawn in front of the museum, Gordon sat on the flower bed, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

"Didn't I remember that you switched to smoking a pipe?"

At this time, Bullock, who was also holding a cigarette, came over.

"Harvey, don't mention this, we will still be good partners."

Gordon raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

"Tell me, did you find anything?"

"Guess what? I really made a new discovery."

When it came to business, Bullock was unambiguous and told Gordon the complete information he had obtained.

"Twelve minutes ago, someone spotted a patrolling security guard in a bathroom in the museum. To be precise, the security guard allowed himself to be discovered because he was locked in the cubicle with his hands and feet tied."

"While we were searching the museum, someone heard the noise of the security guard struggling and rescued him."

"The security guard said that he was suddenly knocked unconscious while on patrol. The assailant hit him from behind, so he didn't know his identity. He didn't wake up until fifteen minutes ago."

Listening, Gordon's eyes narrowed slightly, "You think the person who knocked out the patrolling security guard was Kaitou Kidd."

It was a question, but the tone was affirmative, because Gordon thought the same way.

"The weirdest things just started now."

Bullock continued, "According to the security guard's statement, he was knocked unconscious two hours ago, but within the two hours he was unconscious, more than one patrol officer saw him, and this was also recorded on the surveillance camera. Records of security patrols!”

As soon as these words came out, Gordon's expression suddenly changed.

Chapter 8 Shock! GCPD and Robin teamed up to defeat a thief

Gordon stood up from the flower bed in a hurry and even accidentally dropped the newly lit cigarette to the ground.

"You mean that during the two hours when the security guard was unconscious, Kaitou Kidd pretended to be him and moved around the museum, and even colleagues who had known him for a long time did not recognize him?"

Gordon asked with a solemn expression.

Indeed, if Kaitou Kidd had this ability, it would explain why they couldn't find any clues.

It's not that the surveillance camera didn't capture Phantom Thief Kidd, it's that it's not possible to determine which of the people captured is Phantom Thief Kidd.

Bullock glanced at the cigarette on the ground with pity, then turned around and said: "Jim, do you remember the four police officers who were responsible for guarding the gems before? They said that you personally asked them to transfer their posts."

Hearing Bullock mention this matter, Gordon immediately understood.

"They didn't lie, but what they saw was not me, but Kaitou Kid pretending to be me!"

"With the information currently available, we can only draw this conclusion."

Bullock concluded.

"I'm afraid ordinary disguise techniques can't achieve this effect."

Gordon pondered for a moment and said, "This reminds me of the guy in Arkham."

"Clayface, do you think Kaitou Kidd may be related to him?"

Bullock's face suddenly became serious, but no one who might be related to that group of lunatics was easy to deal with.

"I can't tell yet. I have to go to Arkham Asylum to talk to Clayface."

Gordon set tomorrow's schedule on the spot.

"There shouldn't be anything found in the museum. Let's close the team."

With that said, the two gathered their men together and left the museum.

-

The next day, a piece of news caused a sensation among all Gotham citizens.

"Shocked! The GCPD and Robin teamed up to lose to a thief?"

This article occupies the entire front page of Gotham Gazette, detailing the crime process of Phantom Thief Kidd yesterday.

A large close-up photo was also published in the newspaper. It was the scene where Kaito Kidd was illuminated by the spotlight when he first appeared in the exhibition hall.

That white dress, that elegant demeanor, that slender figure, that monocle full of mysterious reflections...

It reveals a strange charm that makes people think that Kaitou Kidd must be handsome even though his face cannot be seen clearly.

"Which photographer took this photo? It's a very good photographer. It captured almost one-tenth of my charm."

In the fourth-grade classroom at Gotham High School, sitting in the window seat in the second-to-last row, Dean thought shamelessly while reading the newspaper he just bought today.

Dean looked at the signature of the report. It was a female reporter named Vicki Weir.

"Vicky Vale seems to be quite famous in Gotham. It is said that she is having an affair with billionaire Bruce Wayne?"

Dean's eyes rolled, and an idea came to his mind.

"I was originally thinking about a better way to return the gems. Maybe this is a good choice..."

In the classroom, apart from Dean, there was obviously more than one student who was interested in Kaitou Kidd.

The buzz about Kidd kept ringing in Dean's ears.

"Have you seen the news today? There's a new super criminal in Gotham!"

"Of course, the GCPD and the media call him 'Kid the Phantom Thief'. It's a bit weird, but it's much better than 'Two-Face' or something like that."

Some people have heard of it, and naturally some people have not.

"What Phantom Thief? What are you talking about?"

A classmate who obviously doesn't like to watch the news asked confusedly as he couldn't understand the heated discussions around him.

The classmate sitting next to him rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother, you really need to get in touch with this society to avoid being derailed by the times."

"We are talking about a super criminal named Kaito Kidd who stole the 'Angel's Blood Tears' ruby ​​from the Gotham Museum of Art yesterday. He stole it while the GCPD and Robin were present at the same time!"

"GCPD? It's not surprising that the gem was stolen, but then again, it's not easy for Kaitou Kidd to successfully steal the gem in front of Robin and escape unscathed."

"What's even more complicated is that Kaitou Kidd is different from other thieves. It is said that he sent a warning letter to the museum and the police several days before committing the crime. He even stated the time, place and method."

"Ah? Then didn't the police know in advance that he was going to steal something? They could have set up a special trap."
