Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Transformation, autonomous driving, and remote control are just its most basic functions.

Bruce and Dick put on their respective battle uniforms as usual, and then got into the car with natural expressions.

"You seem to be paying special attention to that girl named Cassandra."

Dick said suddenly.

"Why? I know you are compassionate towards every poor person, but the way you look at that girl is more than just sympathy. I want to know the reason?"

"What is it about a fourteen-year-old mute girl that deserves your attention?"

Hearing this, Bruce was silent for a long time, and said with a solemn expression: "She reminds me of someone."

"Cassandra, her appearance, her demeanor all remind me of a person I once met...a person who is extremely dangerous."

"Who?"

Dick pressed.

"This has nothing to do with you, Robin. Have you forgotten what I told you? Your only mission tonight -"

Bruce said with a serious expression, and his name for Dick was automatically changed to Robin.

"All actions are to obey your orders. Don't say irrelevant words or do unnecessary things."

Robin continued what Bruce said, then shrugged.

"Yes, yes, it's your decision, Batman."

Batman expressionlessly drove the Batmobile, drove out of the alley and sped away into the distance. The speed of the car almost exceeded the maximum speed limit in the city as soon as it started, and the Batmobile continued to accelerate.

Robin has long been accustomed to Batman's racing behavior. Otherwise, how could he patrol the city in the shortest time and arrive at every crime scene in time?

"So, where are we going to find that bat monster now?"

Robin asked.

"It is said that it is active in the Upper West Side, but the Upper West Side is the second busiest district in Gotham after the Diamond District. The environment there should not be suitable for bats to survive..."

"Robin!"

Batman growled in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, I shut up."

In order to avoid further irritating Batman, Robin quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

What the two of them didn't know was that just after the Batmobile drove away from the alley, a head quietly poked out from the roof on one side of the alley.

"I probably wasn't discovered."

Dean thought as he rubbed his chin.

Of course he is not his true appearance now, but has disguised himself as a public face.

Although it is not sure if the disguise can be hidden from Batman if it is really discovered, this is a preparation that must be made.

At least for now, there is nothing suspicious about Dean. Even if Batman is suspicious of Dean because of his serious illness, it is just his personal habit.

To put it bluntly, as long as it is someone Batman has met, there is no one who is not suspected by him. As for really putting the suspicion into reality and investigating and monitoring it, then further testimony is needed.

You must know that Batman is very busy and does not have the time to check everyone carefully, unless he knows in advance that Dean's identity is not innocent.

But Batman is not a god, can he predict the future?

Besides, Dean has been investigated and identified by Robin and Batgirl before. Even if Batman really questioned their investigation results for no reason, it would at best return to the previous situation, no. It could be worse.

The main problem now isn't Batman, it's Dean himself.

Because Batman doesn't seem to pay much attention to Kidd, a thief who engages in performance art. Of course, that doesn't mean he's just going to let him go, but there is a scale in Batman's heart, and Kidd's weight is obviously not heavy enough.

He wanted to deal with other more dangerous criminals first, and then go back to deal with Kaito Kidd.

Of course, it doesn't matter if juniors like Robin or Batgirl want to practice with Kid the Kid. After all, Batman won't be able to relax if they are left to deal with extremely dangerous super criminals alone.

However, Robin's repeated disadvantages against Kidd made Batman very dissatisfied.

In his opinion, this does not prove how powerful Kaitou Kidd is. On the contrary, it reflects Robin's laziness and that he is not even as sensible as Bat Girl. At least he can distinguish the importance and knows that investigating monster murder cases is better than Bat Girl. Catching the thief is more important.

This is also the fundamental reason why Batman had a bad attitude towards Robin after he came back.

In other words, as long as Dean doesn't act stupid and jump in front of Batman, there is no risk of his identity being exposed for the time being.

This requires a good grasp of temperament. He cannot act too perfect. If there is no suspicious point in his body, that is the most suspicious point. He cannot be full of suspicious points, which is tantamount to self-explosion of his identity.

There must be something suspicious, but this doubt cannot be decisive, it must be something that most people have in common.

This is Dean's next real test, and fortunately, this is pretty much how he gets through it.

Chapter 122 Become a partner of justice

"I originally came to the hospital with the intention of making some insinuations about the 'Bat Monster'. After all, the time when Barbara was suddenly injured coincided with the time when the 'Bat Monster' legend began to spread..."

Looking at the Batmobile going away, Dean stood on the roof and fell into deep thought.

What he didn't expect was that Batman and Dick were also in the hospital, which made it difficult for Dean to ask Barbara for this information.

After all, Dean doesn't know the identity of Barbara Batgirl, and there is no way he knows that Barbara has been to the Upper West Side where the 'Bat Monster' is infested.

Naturally, there was no reason to ask Barbara these things. Even if he showed that he was only interested in urban legends, it would be too far-fetched to give this story to others. Besides, Dick knew that Dean was not that kind of person.

Maybe it's a little strange that Dean is so obsessed with the legend of the 'Bat Monster', since it has nothing to do with him.

He is Kaitou Kidd. The possibility of conflict with this monster or that monster is not too great, so why should he care so much?

Eh~ It would be wrong to think so.

Dean lives in an extremely dangerous and bizarre world. The two most important and core components of this world are superheroes and super criminals. All other things, things and even thoughts are just insignificant supporting roles.

There is no way, this is the cruel reality of the illusory world, and no one or anything can change it.

It would undoubtedly be a very bad situation for Dean if he didn't have enough knowledge about super criminals.

Maybe he himself has no reason to conflict with most super criminals, but this does not mean that super criminals will not be hired!

After so many years of ups and downs in Gotham, the Penguin has always stood firm as the king of the underground, and his rule over the underworld is about to surpass that of Falcone. Is it really just relying on ordinary gang subordinates and bribing the government?

Just kidding, do you think it's still the old days when Falcone was the master?

Now it’s a world of superpowers and mutants!

Among the many known leaders who have surrendered to the Penguin, there are several people with extraordinary abilities such as the Invisible Man, the Hypnotic Man, the Poison Man, and Mr. Inflammable.

Although Penguin himself has no superpowers, he is good at recruiting and managing people with these abilities so that they can be used for his own benefit. This is the most terrifying thing about Penguin.

Many people think that there are not many supernatural beings in Gotham, and Dean thought so when he first traveled through time.

Later, he learned that there were not many extraordinary people here at all, but compared to the extraordinary people in places other than Gotham such as the larger metropolitan seaside city, Central City, their abilities were not very outstanding, and their impact on the overall residents of Gotham was relatively weak. some.

All in all, since you can't change the fact that you live in a fucked up world, you can only accept it.

As a certain savior said, when you can't change the limitations of things, all you can change is yourself.

Dean has been in Gotham for so many years and has never missed a single report on super criminals because it is closely related to his life.

In fact, every Gothamite is similar, because it is closely related to their lives.

Now that a supernatural species that looks like a bat has appeared in Gotham, how can Dean not be interested?

And this time, he plans to try to get first-hand information instead of passively waiting for news reports to come out, not to mention that no one can guarantee that the news content is comprehensive enough.

"But having said that, since Bruce and Dick both appeared in the hospital, we can be 100% sure that the 'Bat Monster' is real."

Dean thought to himself.

"It's night now. It should be time for Batman and Robin to go out, but they show up at Gotham General Hospital. Why? I can't think of any other reason other than coming to Barbara to learn the details about the Bat monster."

"The direction the Batmobile was driving just now was indeed heading towards the Upper West Side. It could only be to find the Bat Monster."

The Batmobile's speed far exceeds that of a conventional sports car. It is obviously impossible to catch up with Dean's hang glider, and flying in the sky with a hang glider is a bit too conspicuous.

However, he doesn't actually have to chase the Batmobile, nor should he.

Dean didn't believe that Batman's counter-reconnaissance capabilities wouldn't detect someone following him. If he wanted to get first-hand information about the Bat monster, he had to find another way.

Ever since, Dean took out the copycat Bat suit and put it on for himself.

Tonight, he's playing an enthusiastic teenager imitating Batman!

He wants to be a partner in justice! ——

Sometime later, the Upper West Side.

Due to the increasingly noisy topic of bat monster murders in recent days, no one here dares to go out at night, although there are not many people who dare to do so at ordinary times.

This quiet, deserted road is perfect for Batmobile racing.

I saw a slender vehicle roaring past the road, and the sound lasted for a long time before it subsided.

Batman dares to drive like this not because he is rich and is not afraid of a car accident, but because the braking ability of the Batmobile has exceeded what normal technology can achieve.

Even when driving at full speed, it can make an emergency stop for a few tenths of a second. Of course, the result is that it will 100% roll over. However, the unique function of the Batmobile allows Batman to freely control the direction of the rollover to ensure that no injuries are caused. to anyone.

As for what to do when there are people in front, behind, left and right...

Is there a possibility that in this case, Batman would not go so fast or use other means of transportation?

squeak!

The Batmobile stopped in front of a forest, which is the junction of the Upper West Side and Robinson Park. It was also the scene of the first crime of the Bat Monster murder case.

That is, the first corpse found to have died under a strange cause was nearby.

Robinson Park is a woodland park located between the Upper West Side and the East Side. It is so large that it is almost the size of a city.

Gotham's longest river, the Finger River, runs right through Robinson Park, and Gotham's largest reservoir is also built in the center of Robinson Park.

Batman and Robin arrived at the scene of the original crime. No one was there anymore, only a blockade remained.

"The bodies here have been sent to the GCPD morgue, otherwise we should be able to get more information."

In the woods, Robin looked at a tree with dozens of strange claw marks.

"Batman, do you think the marks on this tree were caught by that bat monster?"

(It's a credit, I owe two chapters now, okay, no, no, three chapters! I'll start filling it tomorrow. If I can't make it up tomorrow, I'll make it up the day after tomorrow. I swear to the urinal that was smashed by Batman, I will definitely finish it in the end. !)

Chapter 123 The cracked wedding ring

On the thick tree trunk, dozens of long and narrow claw marks are clearly visible, each mark is more than ten centimeters deep. Creatures that can leave such deep claw marks on tree trunks are extremely rare in nature. Even among many large beasts, only a few of them can. Only a few exceptionally powerful individuals can do it.

In a developed city like Gotham, it is basically impossible for such large beasts to appear.

There is no doubt that the marks on the tree trunk are 100% left by the legendary 'bat monster'.

There are many trees with similar traces nearby. There are at least four or five trees nearby at a glance. It is hard to say whether there are more similar trees deep in the woods.

"There is no blood left on the claw marks, and the distance between each mark is relatively tight. It doesn't look like the marks left when a tree trunk was accidentally grabbed during an attack on a human. Instead, it looks like..."

Robin held his chin in his hand and said thoughtfully.

"It's like venting."

Batman's voice came from the side.

"Yes, just like when people are emotionally excited, they will have a strong desire for destruction in their hearts. The 'Bat Monster' obviously used to dig trees crazily here. Maybe killing people intensified some of its emotions, maybe it was excitement. ? Or maybe it’s not enough?”

Robin said, turning to look at Batman.

I saw Batman squatting on the ground next to him, gently peeling away some soil and branches and leaves, his eyes slightly focused.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything new?"

Robin came over and asked.

"The Upper West Side Police Department needs to hone its on-site investigation skills."

Batman picked up a broken ring-shaped object from the ground and said expressionlessly.

Wiping off the dirt on the surface, the ring-shaped object regains its color. The silver ring is inlaid with a diamond the size of a rice grain.

It’s a diamond ring!

And judging by the appearance and specifications of the ring, it's likely to be a wedding ring.
