Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

If Barbara herself cares about Kaito Kidd, why would she use her father's name?

Cassandra couldn't understand.

Even though there were many things she couldn't figure out, Cassandra wouldn't bother to get to the bottom of it because she felt it would be disrespectful unless she really wanted to know the answer.

"Do you hate Kaitou Kidd?"

Cassandra opened her pure eyes and made gestures while looking at Barbara.

"To be honest, I don't really hate Kaitou Kidd, but that's just him. I know he's not bad at heart and has a great sense of humor. Sometimes I actually like him for that."

Unexpectedly, Barbara shook her head, indicating that she had no ill feelings towards Kaitou Kidd.

Cassandra could tell that Barbara was telling the truth this time, and then she became even more confused.

Even Cassandra, who doesn't watch the news very much, knows that superheroes and super criminals are incompatible. As a Batgirl, Barbara and Kaito Kidd are obviously hostile.

But Barbara said she didn't hate Kaitou Kidd, leaving Cassandra confused.

"What Phantom Thief Kidd did was wrong. Although he did not cause huge harm to others like other criminals, nor did he put society into panic, he used other people's property to perform so-called magic performances without their consent. This thing itself is wrong, and more importantly, this wrong behavior will not lead to good results."

Barbara saw Cassandra's confusion and explained.

"Kaitan Kid made a mistake. His mistake was indeed not a big one, but no matter how small a mistake is, he still has to bear responsibility. That's why my father, Robin, Batgirl... and many people are so persistent in catching him."

"However, I think if Robin and the others had caught Kaitou Kidd instead of the GCPD, they might not have chosen to put Kaitou Kidd in jail, but would have tried to find a way to make him repent and change his past."

Hearing this, Cassandra's pupils shrank slightly.

No matter how small a mistake is, you have to take responsibility... But what if you make a big mistake?

Cassandra thought about what happened when she was nine years old, and a complicated emotion arose deep in her heart.

She didn't show it, but continued to ask Barbara about Kaito Kidd.

Somehow, she suddenly became curious about Kaitou Kidd.

"Who do you think Kaito Kid's true identity is?"

Cassandra gestured to Barbara and asked.

"I don't know. I guess he is a magician. He is passionate about his career and has little interest in things other than magic. He should be a very kind person in terms of personality, and occasionally he has a bit of a bad taste, and He is very young, maybe only in his twenties?"

Barbara said in a speculative tone.

"This is just my guess about Kaito Kidd. As for what he really looks like, I don't know, and no one knows."

Kassandra nodded in ecstasy.

At this time, she suddenly stood up, waved to Barbara a few times, and walked out the door.

"Wait, Cass, where are you going?"

Just as Barbara was about to call Cassandra, the latter had already left the ward and closed the door.

"This kid is so unpredictable."

Barbara shook her head helplessly and thought to herself.

"I've known Cass for half a year, but I feel like I still know nothing about her like I did when we first met."

Just now, the strange look in Cassandra's eyes was not hidden from Barbara's eyes.

Barbara didn't point it out either.

Chapter 140 This! It's called a win-win

"I hope that kid knows what he's doing."

Barbara could only think so.

To some extent, Barbara may not know Cassandra as well as Dean does.

Dean at least knew that Cassandra had super martial arts skills, but Barbara didn't know anything about it.

The reason is simple. Barbara's contact with Cassandra is almost exclusively in the library. She doesn't even know where Cassandra lives. She wants to help prepare a place for Cassandra to live. If it doesn't work, you can take her to an orphanage under the Wayne Foundation.

But Cassandra refused Barbara's proposal and did not let Barbara know where she lived every day.

Every day, Cassandra went to the library in the morning, and Barbara used her free time to teach her how to read. When dusk approached in the afternoon, Cassandra left the library on her own, never letting anyone else follow her.

The only exceptions were when Barbara took Cassan to go shopping, buy some clothes, or have a big meal.

However, during these processes, Cassandra showed obvious discomfort and a serious lack of common sense about various aspects of life.

I can't use a knife and fork when eating, I don't know where to put my skirt on, and I have no interest in makeup. I even have a strange fear of lipstick, as if it is some kind of poison, and I don't want to let my lips touch it.

What's even more frightening is that when it comes to communicating with people, Cassandra is almost like an autistic person. She refuses to have contact with anyone. She keeps hiding from the clerks in the clothing store, making people almost think she is a thief.

As a result, these few outings not only failed to bring Barbara and Cassandra closer to each other, but actually made Cassandra afraid of going shopping with her.

After that, Barbara stopped asking Cassandra to come into contact with human society. She started by letting Cassandra learn to write. When she can normally understand English words that are frequently used in daily life, she will try to teach Cassandra again. Della integrates into modern society.

Obviously, teaching in the library or shopping in a relatively safe urban area during the day are very difficult to encounter danger even in the city of Gotham.

Cassandra didn't need to use her force in front of Barbara at all. Barbara didn't have the ability to predict the future, so it was naturally impossible for her to know this.

After all, who would have thought that this fourteen-year-old girl was actually a hidden super martial arts master?

In other words, Dean was luckier. He happened to be walking with Cassandra at night, and he was still walking through the deep alleys, so it was normal for him to encounter robbers and gangsters.

All in all, Barbara was worried about Cassandra's livelihood at first, but as time went by, she found that Cassandra did not seem to be malnourished and was surprisingly healthy.

Except for the fact that her clothes are often torn, Barbara doesn't seem to have much to worry about.

Over time, Barbara let Cassandra have her own way. After all, she had no right or position to dictate to Cassandra.

After Cassandra left for a while, Barbara put away her thoughts and turned to the issue of Kaito Kidd.

"In two days, Kaid Kidd will officially steal Bruce's ocean gems at Cavaliers Stadium... I don't know how Bruce will deal with him."

Barbara thought with interest.

"Although it is difficult to imagine that Batman will be defeated by Kidd, if Kidd can really defeat him... maybe it will make things more interesting, and Bruce's expression will definitely change. Very wonderful."

This is not about gloating over misfortune, nor is it a chaotic heart that fears the world will not be in chaos, but a mockery of Batman.

People who have never worked under Batman can hardly imagine what kind of hard work it is. If they didn't still have firm beliefs in their hearts and the significance of Batman's existence to Gotham, Barbara and Dick would have given up their jobs long ago. Quit.

Although they don't say it, they have long been complaining about Batman in their hearts. One by one, they are insignificant trivial matters when taken individually, but when accumulated together, they become full of resentment.

But Batman is still a person with an extremely strong desire to control. His orders to others are always absolute, and he does not allow anyone to say no. This often makes Dick and Barbara dare not speak out, and sometimes they are eager to let Bat Xia suffers a little loss.

That's it for other criminals. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal. Now that there is a kind-hearted criminal like Kaitou Kidd, if you are deflated, it is really just deflated.

Then things changed.

Both Dick and Barbara actually expected Batman to fail.

But if Kaitou Kidd is completely defeated, they will also be in a happy mood.

Because they all suffered at the hands of Kaitou Kidd, it would be nice to let Batman take revenge on their behalf.

Anyway, no matter who loses or wins between Batman and Kidd, they can see a wonderful show and make them feel good.

In this case, isn’t this a win-win situation?

At the same time, in the Batcave, Dick was in a similar mood, watching Bruce tinkering with a bunch of strange things.

"Have you encountered a problem?"

Dick asked with a smirk on his lips.

"What are you doing here, Dick?"

Bruce asked calmly.

"Where else would I go? Today is a day off, I don't have to go to school, and it's still noon, so it's not time to need Robin."

Dick shrugged and asked.

"Either do what you should do, or go through the files of important cases from previous years. How long have you been involved in this cause? How many files have you read?"

"Uh..." Dick was speechless.

"Your reconnaissance reasoning ability still has a lot of room for improvement, Dick. This is why you have been unable to catch Kaitou Kidd, and instead were tricked by him."

Bruce's hand that was originally used to fiddle with a pile of objects suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Dick and said.

At the same time, he also displayed what he had worked out in front of Dick, which looked like a simulated sand table.

"This is?"

The moment he saw the sand table, Dick's pupils shrank and he was surprised.

"This is a simple sandbox based on the lawn of the central football field of Cavaliers Stadium."

Bruce said calmly.

I saw a small iron object standing in the center of the miniature football field lawn in the sand table, surrounded by a circle of miniature camera models, and outside the camera model was a circle of little people.

That’s right, the iron object is a miniature version of the Bat Lantern.

In addition, there is a layer of white cloud-like cardboard hanging above the sand table, and a small white man stands next to the bat lamp.

What was shown on the sand table was the scene where Kaito Kidd was rehearsing!

Chapter 141 Deciphering the mystery of the disappearance of the bat lamp

"You shouldn't have figured out Kaitou Kid's method, right? It only took one night?"

Looking at the sand table made by Bruce, Dick suddenly thought of something and showed an incredible expression.

"I came up with three different ways to achieve a similar effect, but only one is of reference value."

Bruce spoke, confirming Dick's thoughts.

"I've said it before, you should find time to improve your detective reasoning skills instead of just acting recklessly every day. If you were smarter than Kaitou Kidd, you wouldn't always lose to him."

Dick's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

To be honest, Dick's thinking ability is already very strong. At least judging from his age and series of achievements, he is a young elite with genius-level intelligence.

Although he often seems to be a step too slow in his actions against Kaito Kid, it is undeniable that Dick can finally reflect Kid's true plan in every incident, except for some special parts.

Don't think that this is an afterthought, because most people can't even see the shallow plot of Kaitou Kidd, and they are led by the nose every time.

At some point, Dick could even ambush Kaitou Kidd in turn. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, at least he had a chance to set up an ambush.

Kaito Kidd's superb disguise and voice-changing skills allow him to have an excellent first move, and his proficiency in magic gives him a certain advantage in misleading others' psychology.

To sum up, even those who are smarter than Kaitou Kidd may not be able to see Kidd's overall plan in time.

It's actually not easy for Dick to do that.

However, in Bruce's mouth, he was said to be an impulsive and reckless brainless person who was either bad at this or bad at that. It was as if Dick had endless thorns in his body and problems that could not be corrected.

Since Dick became Robin, Bruce has become more and more demanding on him in the past few years, and the faults have become more and more frequent, which often makes Dick feel uncomfortable.

And this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that Dick has no way to refute Bruce, because Bruce can surpass him in all aspects, and Bruce can do everything Dick cannot do.

So when these words came out of Bruce's mouth, there was no sense of dissonance at all.

On the other hand, can Dick do what Bruce can't?

At least for now, no.

Perhaps the creation of the Teen Titans may become one of Dick's most important feats, but Bruce is also the founding pillar of the Justice League, and even part of the reason for the birth of the Teen Titans was to emulate the Justice League.

Therefore, in front of Bruce, Dick really has nothing to praise.

This also deepened Dick's inner resentment towards Bruce.

Dick sighed helplessly, not wanting to discuss this matter with Bruce in depth. He brought the topic back to the original sand table and pointed at the sand table as if he hadn't heard anything.

"So...how did Kaitou Kidd make the Bat Lantern disappear that day? Do you plan to use this to simulate the entire process?"

Dick pinched his chin and asked. He himself was actually very curious about Kid Robber's method. He had done a lot of simulations secretly and was close to success several times, but it was difficult to achieve perfect results.

"Also - why use a sandbox to simulate in such a retro way? Doesn't the Batcave have virtual projection technology?"

“Because it’s more intuitive to use this.”

Bruce replied calmly.
