Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Kaitou Kidd raised his head in a certain direction and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, a voice came from the sky.

"Do you think you can use the same trick a second time? Kaitou Kidd!"

Chapter 153 I'm Smart and Have Seen Through Everything

In mid-air, a red, green and yellow figure suddenly appeared and landed in a circle in the center of the lawn in an extremely standard superhero style.

Face to face with Kaitou Kidd.

"We meet again, Kaitou Kidd, don't try to escape this time!"

Robin crossed his arms and looked at Kaitou Kid with a confident smile.

"Robin."

Kaitou Kid stared at the high-spirited young hero in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled.

"I can't remember how many times I've heard you say this. Don't you ever get tired of it?"

Hearing this, Robin's expression froze, and then he snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Just wait and see, Kaitou Kidd, I hope you can still say something like this later."

Kaitou Kidd glanced vaguely in the direction of Bruce, who still stayed where he was, sitting firmly on the fishing platform.

"Where did Batman go? Is the Bruce I saw really Bruce? Batman thinks Kaito Kidd is not qualified enough to let him take action? Well, maybe it seems so in terms of strength, but it doesn't look like something Batman would do. .”

Or is Batman hiding somewhere now and Robin is a decoy to attract attention?

Kaitou Kid was thinking in his mind. While he was paying attention to the movements of Robin across from him, he was also vigilant about the surrounding environment, always on guard for someone approaching him from a blind spot.

This would consume a lot of energy, but when you think about facing Batman, you can't be too cautious.

Although he was on high alert in his heart, Kaito Kidd still had a calm and confident look on his face, as if no difficulty or obstacle could stump him.

Years of training have allowed his ability to control facial expressions to reach its peak level, truly demonstrating the word duplicity perfectly.

"I heard that Batman has returned to Gotham for a while, and I thought he would act with you."

Kaitou Kid smiled and said to Robin, his tone and attitude did not sound like enemies to each other, but rather like good friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Ha~"

Hearing Kaitou Kid's doubts, Robin chuckled disdainfully and said.

"Batman has more important things to do. He has no time to deal with a thief like you, Phantom Thief Kidd. There are too many people and things in this city that are much more important than you."

"But you've never been absent from any of my performances, right?"

Kaitou Kidd curled his lips and said with a smile.

"Weird! Thief! Gay! Virtue!"

Robin's face was filled with veins, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Think about it, you won't let me be soft-hearted to you by talking nonsense!"

At the same time, Robin's appearance caused another commotion and discussion in the audience.

"I knew that lighting up the Bat-lamp was not that simple. Although it was Robin instead of Batman, I thought their duel would not be bad."

"Look, Robin seems to be talking to Kaitou Kidd?"

"What are they talking about? Why can't you hear the sound? Has the radio speaker been turned off?"

"Why did Robin start chatting with Kid the Kid? And it seemed like the atmosphere between the two of them was pretty good? I thought Robin and Batman were both tough guys who hate evil."

"Stop chatting, I want to see fighting! I want to see fighting!"

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about? If you are sick, go to Arkham for treatment. Don't go crazy here!"

Among the audience, a petite black-haired girl was looking in the direction of Kid and Robin in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.

"Hey! Look at that! Kaito Kid is moving! He's walking over to the Bat-Light!"

At this time, an audience member pointed in the direction of the lawn.

"So, what do you want to do? Attack recklessly like those GCPD officers, rush over and beat me up?"

On the lawn, Kaitou Kidd was talking as he started to walk around. In front of Robin, he walked around to the other side of the bat lantern. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the bat lantern and the broken hole on it. white cloth.

It is different from the previous situation where the white cloth covered the bat light. At this time, the bat light is on, so you can see a halo on the white cloth.

And because the white cloth had been cut with several long slits by batarangs just now, part of the light from the bat lantern could shine through the slits and shine into the sky.

However, of the original complete bat symbol in the sky, only the part with unknown meaning remains.

In addition to the light coming out, the broken opening also revealed some parts of the bat light, which were exposed to the perspective of the surrounding high-speed cameras.

"It won't be that troublesome to deal with you."

Robin said quite confidently, "I have seen through all the tricks you used last time, and you have no way out."

"Oh~ It sounds like you are already confident, but if I remember correctly, you were not present at the last rehearsal, right?"

Seeing Robin so confident, Kaitou Kidd was surprised.

"Did you see through all the tricks just by relying on the videos related to the preview? Why don't I believe it?"

Kaitou Kid put his hand on his chin and looked Robin up and down suspiciously.

"I guess someone sorted everything out for you."

He said meaningfully.

"Huh, so what? I'm not alone like you. I have friends. Is there anything wrong with accepting help from my friends?"

Robin admitted it openly and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"As expected of you, Robin."

Kaitou Kidd smiled and shook his head, a light flashing in his eyes.

Another thought came to mind: "Sure enough, the trick last time couldn't be hidden from Batman's eyes. Fortunately, I prepared Plan B, but I don't know if Batman will think of something deeper than me."

On the other side, Robin also thought to himself: "In the past two days, I have been reviewing the entire process of Phantom Thief Kidd's day with Bruce, and in the end I only came to the best conclusion."

"All the secrets are hidden in that white cloth. Now that the white cloth has been scratched by me, I want to see what else you can do, Kaitou Kidd?"

Robin stared at Kaito Kidd closely, while recalling the tactics Kidd used that day.

"Bruce believes that the Bat Lantern was not transformed by Kidd from the beginning to the end, but was created by the special lens hidden inside the white cloth to create the illusion of disappearance. In other words, the white cloth covering the Bat Lantern actually has countless hidden objects underneath. Qing’s lenses, maybe some of them were scratched by batarangs.”

"Kidd used white cloth to cover the location of the Bat-Light twice. The first time was to cover the lens on the surface of the Bat-Light, and the second time was to make everyone believe that the Bat-Light had indeed disappeared. After all, if If the bat lantern is still in place, the white cloth cannot be spread flat on the ground.”

"But...is the white cloth used twice, really the same one?"

Robin's eyes flashed and he focused on Kaitou Kid's hands.

"With Kaitou Kidd's extremely fast hand speed, it is not difficult to switch between two pieces of white cloth without attracting others' attention. All you need to do is dig a hole in the middle of the second piece of white cloth, just enough for the bat light to pass through. That's good, and then the special lenses on the bat light will make the white cloth and the ground look seamless, as if the entire white cloth is really spread out..."

"This is also the reason why Kaito Kidd must destroy those seven high-speed cameras, because his action of switching the white cloth may be filmed!"

Chapter 154 The monster thief never steals treasure.

It must be said that Robin was a little disappointed when he learned the truth about Kaito Kidd's method.

This method is really a bit too simple, even so simple that it can be called cliché.

But at the same time, he had to be shocked by Kaitou Kid's thinking, because at least at that moment, everyone was really deceived by him, including Bruce!

Although Bruce knew deep down in his heart that the Bat-Light could not disappear out of thin air, he did not immediately understand the truth of Kidd's entire method at that time.

It took him a while to react, even though the speed of thinking was scary enough.

Many people made him think about it for several days, but he might not be able to find the doorway.

Even Robin couldn't figure it out for a whole day and night until he was awakened by Bruce's prompt.

"Now, Kaitou Kidd's white cloth has been scratched by me. It can neither cover all the surfaces of the Bat Lantern perfectly, nor can I freely replace it with another white cloth."

"And the Bat Light is still on. As long as there is a slight gap between the lenses, there will be light coming through, showing the fact that the Bat Light has not disappeared."

Robin thought triumphantly.

"Even if the connection between Kaito Kidd's special lenses is so tight that it can even block the light from the bat light, this fact will also be exposed if Kaitou Kidd later puts on another piece of white cloth."

If Kaitou Kidd didn't change the white cloth, then he would no longer be able to use the method of covering the white cloth in place to prove that the bat light had disappeared, and he could only stay in place so empty.

In other words, Kaitou Kidd went against what he had shown in the preview!

It is impossible for Kaito Kidd, who has all his secrets revealed, to steal the Bat Lantern, let alone steal the ocean gems hidden in the Bat Lantern.

When the time comes, Robin will be able to win without any effort!

Moreover, his victory this time was not by seizing Kaitou Kid's physical skills or defensive weaknesses and defeating him with combat power, but by winning through the magic technique that Kaitou Kid is best at and most proud of!

Such a blow is tantamount to coming up with a riddle that the Riddler cannot guess, turning the Scarecrow's fear poison into an emboldening poison.

Only by defeating the opponent in his field will he be dealt a real serious blow. Then Robin can take this opportunity to correct Kaitou Kid's thinking and guide him to give up the path of the Kaitou through performance art and return to the right path.

Isn't this a great merit?

For now, we just need to see what Kaitou Kidd plans to do.

"The material used for this white cloth is not cheap. It is so scratched. How pitiful."

Kaitou Kidd looked at the several narrow holes clearly visible on the white cloth and couldn't help but sigh.

"Robin, do you know that you are damaging other people's private property?"

"Do you think you are qualified to say this?"

Robin's mouth twitched, and he was out of breath. Sometimes he wondered whether Kaitou Kidd realized that he was committing a crime.

"At least I have never caused real property damage to anyone, nor have I harmed anyone. Oh no, I forgot that there was a Penguin. One of his money laundering companies was taken down because of me, and he probably lost a lot of property. "

Kaitou Kidd waved his hand and said.

"I'm not making excuses for my actions, Robin. I know full well that I'm breaking the law, but what I'm trying to say is that what you superheroes did is exactly the same as mine. You broke it yourself. Is the law less important than mine?”

Robin's face was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Kaitou Kidd would suddenly start saying these words to him.

"You don't have to rush to refute me. I know that in this hellish place like Gotham, if you really want to do something good, you can't do it according to the law. The illegal acts you did are necessary to fight against criminals."

Kaitou Kid didn't wait for Robin to speak and continued.

"Perhaps you will think that you are violating the law for more noble reasons, and I am just a thief who wastes a lot of social resources in order to practice his performance art, and may also induce citizens to imitate crimes."

Robin listened blankly to Kaitou Kid's speech, not understanding what he meant by this now.

Could it be that he gave up on himself because he foresaw his own failure and had no hope of victory? Is this his confession?

"Robin."

Kaitou Kid suddenly said.

"Look around at the people in the audience."

Robin looked at Kaitou Kid suspiciously, but the latter just looked back at him lightly, and he glanced at the auditorium without knowing why.

"Look, what are the expressions on their faces?"

Kaitou Kid asked.

"Are they worried for their safety? Are they terrified of not knowing what's going to happen next? No."

Kaitou Kidd asked himself.

"These people are looking forward to my performance because Kaito Kidd's performance brings them true joy and genuine awe."

"Robin, don't you think it's a good thing to have such expressions on people's faces in a city like Gotham?"

Kaitou Kidd said this.

"Is darkness and depression the only colors of this city? Don't the people living here deserve some time to breathe? What have those ordinary people who are just trying to make a living done wrong?"

"I have given the people of Gotham an extra period of time to breathe and a less scary place in their frightened days. From this point of view, what is the essential difference between you and me?"

"Forehead……"

Robin was about to say something, but suddenly it felt like a foreign object was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
