Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Are you okay, Robin?"

After the blockade was lifted, Gordon led the police to start a carpet search, while Bruce walked to Robin alone and asked softly.

"I'm fine, Lu...Mr. Wayne, you have to know that I'm always optimistic."

Robin smiled lightly.

"Indeed, Kaitou Kidd's actions this time made me too emotional. Whether it was his way of changing concepts or replacing the Bat lamp with Kidd's lamp, I had some uncontrollable emotions. Even broke the lamp."

"But I'm much calmer now. After what happened today, maybe my inner evaluation of Kaito Kidd needs to change."

Listening to Robin's words, Bruce stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "I believe you will catch him one day."

"thanks, I will."

Robin said.

"What are you talking about?"

Gordon came over and asked.

"Nothing, just discussing what happened when the smoke enveloped the Bat Lantern just now."

Bruce replied with a natural expression.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air came from the sky.

I saw a bat-wing-shaped aircraft with a weird shape and a cool look descending. It was extremely fast. It flew from the distant sky in just an instant and landed on the lawn of the stadium, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"That's...the Bat Fighter!"

In the audience, the citizens who were planning to leave suddenly stopped when they saw this scene.

In Gotham, there is only one person who can fly that aircraft!

"Oh my God, Batman is here, but why? Kaitou Kidd has already successfully stolen the gems and left, why is he here now?"

"You ask me who I am asking, but based on my understanding of Batman, he was probably dealing with a super criminal more vicious than Kidd, and now he has his hands free."

"Listening to what you said, it does make sense. With Robin here, it's normal for Batman to deal with other super criminals first. God, why do Gotham have so many super criminals?"

The audience started discussing Batman.

As they thought, the person piloting the Batplane was indeed Batman. After the Batplane landed on the lawn, the door to the cabin opened automatically.

A tall, muscular man wearing a black suit walked out, it was Batman.

He slowly walked up to Robin.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you have other things to deal with today?"

Robin asked in surprise when he saw Batman's arrival.

"Mr. Wayne, Director Gordon, I need people, a lot of people."

Batman did not answer Robin's question, but spoke directly to Gordon and Bruce next to him.

The tone was consistent with his usual speaking habits, his voice was hoarse and his words were concise and shocking.

"What do you need people for?"

Gordon and Bruce asked in unison.

"Dig a hole."

One word came out of Batman's mouth.

"This matter is closely related to the whereabouts of Kaito Kidd. He brought the bat lamp to a depth of about five meters underground, right in the center of the lawn."

After hearing this, Gordon and Bruce's eyes suddenly changed, and they quickly went down to gather people to dig.

He didn't even ask for details, as if whatever Batman said was correct.

"Now that there are only two of us here, you should tell me what's going on, right? Why are you here now? And how do you know that the Bat Lantern is underground."

Robin asked with a straight face.

"I used a sonar detector to locate the BatLight."

Batman spoke.

"At first I thought Kaito Kidd would escape from the sky, so I flew the Bat Fighter to ambush in the air in advance, in order not to arouse his suspicion..."

"You just lied to me and said you had to deal with other things today, and asked Lucius to disguise himself as Bruce Wayne, because Kidd knew that Batman was Bruce, and Robin didn't know that Batman would come. , so Kaitou Kidd will think that Batman is too lazy to pay attention to him, an unknown thief, and is completely unaware that his escape route has been cut off by you?"

Before Batman could finish speaking, Robin continued following Batman's words.

Batman said nothing, seeming to acquiesce.

"But it seems your ambush plan didn't work."

Robin crossed his arms and said.

"My previous concept of Kaito Kidd's plan was not perfect, and he prepared a second completely different action plan."

Batman narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Kid's action planning ability exceeded my expectations. I underestimated him. His plan design... is very interesting."

(ps: I recommend a book, "I Practiced Magic in the United States". The subject matter is relatively novel and very interesting. The link is below)

I recommend a book written by a great person. It’s very well written.

Chapter 161 It’s true, something is wrong with Kaitou Kidd

In Gotham, in a large botanical garden near the Cavaliers Stadium, a strange object as thick as a straw protruded from the soil.

The top of this object has a lens that is bent at 90 degrees. After a few turns, it retracts underground.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound of mechanical rotation came from the ground.

hum!hum!

I saw a huge drill bit coming out of the soil and quickly drilling a big hole in the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a figure covered in mud emerged from the soil.

"call--"

Dean breathed a sigh of relief and patted the dirt on his body casually, shaking off some larger mud chunks.

When operating underground, this is the inevitable outcome.

He had just crawled under the Cavaliers Stadium along the tunnel that had been dug in advance. In order to prevent others from discovering the tunnel, Dean used the system to exchange a two-meter-thick soil layer at both entrances and exits of the tunnel, making it appear to outsiders Everything is fine on the ground.

But this is also very inconvenient, that is, every time he enters and exits the tunnel, he must dig out the two-meter-thick soil layer again, and he will be covered in mud.

Before digging, you should also check whether there is anyone on the ground. Generally, the botanical garden is closed at this point, but there is no guarantee that you will accidentally bump into patrolling security guards, so confirmation in advance is a must.

This is how things are in the world. There is no perfect plan. Although digging tunnels has great advantages in terms of confidentiality, on the other hand, there are also such troubles.

"Calculating the time, they should have discovered the tunnel of the stadium. I have to leave as soon as possible."

After Dean climbed up from the ground, he checked the scene to make sure there were no clues left, and then quickly left the botanical garden.

At this point, there is no need to waste extra exclamation points to exchange for soil cover for authentic pits, because it will be a matter of time before they are discovered, and getting out as soon as possible is the primary goal.

Not long after Dean left, Cavaliers Stadium, the center of the field lawn.

A group of people took various tools and dug up the location pointed out by Batman.

After digging down almost two meters, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone.

At the bottom of the cave entrance, a dark searchlight was lying quietly inside, and it turned out to be a bat light.

And there is a deep tunnel with no end in sight behind the Bat Lantern, which is probably the escape route of Kaito Kidd.

"Batman is right, Kaitou Kidd really took the Bat-Light underground."

When they saw this, everyone couldn't help but look at Batman and Robin next to them, with surprise written on their faces.

Among them, Gordon and "Bruce" have the dullest expressions. They have been in contact with Batman for too long, and the latter has almost never missed them over the years.

Even so, when they saw the Bat Lantern, disbelief flashed in their eyes.

Not because Batman was right, but because of Kaitou Kidd.

No matter how hard they try, they can't imagine how the Bat Lantern was brought underground by Kid. They know that there is a two-meter-thick layer of soil on top of the Bat Lantern. Could it be that Kid is able to escape?

Not only could they not figure this out, but even Batman found it a bit bizarre.

Kaitou Kidd dug a tunnel about five meters below the ground, just enough for an adult to crawl forward. He only dug out a space about three meters high in the center of the lawn to accommodate the bat lamp.

The bat lamp is located directly above the cave, and there is no problem if it falls straight into the cave under the influence of gravity.

To be honest, this method itself is not particularly mysterious, and it is relatively easy to think of.

There are actually many similar techniques in movies. Dig a big pit underground, and place a wooden or iron board or other mechanism similar to the environment on top of the hole to cover the hole. When the mechanism is activated, the wooden board will automatically open, and the objects on it will be opened. Naturally, he fell into the pit.

Even as early as when Phantom Thief Kidd was previewing, some people had wondered whether the Bat Lantern might be hidden underground. However, at that time, Phantom Thief Kidd's tunnel had not yet been dug into the stadium, so after repeated inspections, it was found that everything was normal under the lawn.

Even if Kaitou Kidd has dug it, there is still two meters of soil under the ground, and common inspection methods still cannot find the existence of tunnels. No one will have time to dig two meters deep on the lawn to see if there is a tunnel underneath. .

Then the problem is coming.

How did Kaitou Kidd make the Bat Lantern break through the two-meter-thick soil and fall into a deeper cave?

No one could imagine it, including Batman.

At least, it's absolutely impossible to do this using conventional means.

Could it be that Kaitou Kidd really knows magic? Or did he use some kind of space teleportation technology?

"If that's the case, why did he dig this tunnel?"

In the pothole, Batman looked at the endless tunnel and asked himself.

"He could have just teleported the Bat Lantern away, but why didn't he do that? If the distance he could teleport was limited, he could also choose to teleport the gems in the Bat Lantern. There was no need to take away the Bat Lantern. Is it just for this? Create a more dramatic magic show?”

"If Kaitou Kidd doesn't have the ability to directly teleport the bat lantern, how did he make the bat lantern pass through two meters of soil?"

Thinking about it, Batman turned around and looked at the front of the Bat-Light, the cut-out Bat logo.

He put his hand in, and then some strange powder stuck to his fingers.

These are all micro trackers, many of which are hidden within the bat logo and on the ocean gems. These trackers are so small that they are no different from dust and are basically impossible to see after being dispersed.

According to Batman's expectation, when Kidd puts his hand in, he will get some trackers on his hands or cuffs. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. All the trackers are still in their original positions, and the tracking sticks on the gems All the utensils have also been taken down.

But this is to be expected. What Batman cares about most at this time is not the tracker, but the cutout on the Bat logo.

"The incision is extremely smooth. Kaito Kidd completed the cutting in a very short time. Even the cutting tools specially developed for promethium alloys developed by Wayne Group cannot reach this level. This means that he has something beyond the modern era of the earth. Technological cutting tools, alien technology? Or future technology? Or some unknown technology..."

"If Kaitou Kidd could directly transport gems out of the Bat Lantern, why did he use tools to cut them? It can be said that he changed away from the Bat Lantern for performance effect, but when he took out the gems underground, there was no audience. There was no such thing. A need..."

Batman frowned. The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt. Kaito Kidd's various actions seemed contradictory.

Chapter 162 It’s time to count the harvest

"Did you find any clues?"

At this moment, Robin also jumped down and asked next to Batman.

"...No, Kaito Kidd's anti-reconnaissance ability is also outstanding. He must have received professional training. Very few people can notice such tiny things."

Batman didn't even look back.

"After I go back, I'm going to make a major revision to the Kaitou Kidd file in the Batcomputer."

"See, I told you a long time ago that Kaitou Kidd is not as simple as he seems."

Hearing this, Robin crossed his arms and said.

"You're right, so what?"

Batman turned around and asked expressionlessly.

"Are you feeling complacent now that I misjudged a criminal's abilities?"

"Of course not! For God's sake, how could you think so? I'm just saying that Kaitou Kid's abilities need to be given the attention they deserve! Well, I also want to refute your previous questioning because I never caught Kaitou Kid. My abilities are not what you said."

Robin frowned and said dissatisfied.
