Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Meanwhile, Gotham General Hospital, inside Barbara Gordon's single room.

Barbara was lying on the hospital bed, watching the news of Phantom Thief Kidd played on the hanging TV in the ward very seriously.

Beside the hospital bed, Cassandra sat in a chair and watched with Barbara.

"Do you care about that man named Phantom Thief Kidd?"

Cassandra gestured to Barbara suspiciously and asked.

"Um?"

Barbara was taken aback when she heard the words, and asked strangely, "Why do you think so?"

"You never take it this seriously when you watch other TV shows."

Cassandra underlined this sentence.

"Um……"

Barbara pondered for a moment, and then said: "The reason why I watch the news about Phantom Thief Kidd so seriously is because my father is the police chief, and Phantom Thief Kidd is the prisoner he wants to arrest, so I pay attention to Phantom Thief Kidd's news." Information, I hope that one day he can capture Kaitou Kidd."

She is lying.

Cassandra thought to herself.

She couldn't understand the meaning of Barbara's words, but through the interpretation of Barbara's body language, Cassandra was very sure that what Barbara just said was not the truth.

Cassandra didn't know why Barbara was lying to herself, but she wasn't going to expose it.

Because she is also very sure that Barbara has only good intentions for her and has no malice towards her. Since Barbara doesn't want to say it, Cassandra won't ask either.

In addition, although Barbara did not tell Cassandra her secret identity, Cassandra actually guessed a little bit.

The reason is simply that she once saw Batgirl Night Watch swinging from one building to another with a shackle gun.

Although it was only a few seconds, Cassandra saw Barbara's shadow through Batgirl's extremely subtle body movements.

Not to mention being 100% sure, at least it's pretty close.

She thinks that the reason why Barbara cares about Phantom Thief Kidd should be related to the secret identity of Batgirl, and Barbara's lying should also be related to that.

Barbara doesn't want anyone to know she's Batgirl.

Cassandra interpreted this conclusion, but why? She doesn't quite understand.

Cassandra's life is very monotonous, even boring. She can stand on the roof and watch the whole process of the sun from rising to setting without doing anything else.

She doesn't have a mobile phone, and has never been connected to the Internet. A few months ago, she didn't even know half a word. Reading and reading newspapers are naturally insulated from her. If it wasn't for Barbara who was willing to patiently teach her how to read, Cassandra now She couldn't even understand the news, although she could understand relatively little.

Therefore, Cassandra actually doesn't know much about Phantom Thief Kidd, Batman, Robin, Batgirl or even any other superhero or villain, at most limited to the level of knowing that such a person exists.

Counting from birth, the people Cassandra has communicated with, including Barbara and Dean, have no more than one hand, and they can survive until now purely by martial arts.

This also caused Cassandra's personality and views on things to be somewhat incompatible with the general public. In the eyes of many people, the unspoken rules that can be tacitly accepted without saying much are completely incomprehensible to Cassandra. .

For example, Batman or Batgirl are obviously doing good deeds, but why cover their faces so that others don't know who they are?

If Barbara cared about Kaito Kid herself, why did she pretend to be her father?

Cassandra couldn't figure it out.

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

"Do you hate Phantom Thief Kid?"

Cassandra stared at Barbara with pure eyes and gestured at the same time.

"To be honest, I don't dislike Kaito Kidd very much, but it's limited to him. I know that he has a good heart and a good sense of humor. Sometimes I actually like him."

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

Cassandra could see that Barbara was telling the truth this time, and then she was even more puzzled.

Even Cassandra, who doesn't read the news very much, knows that superheroes and super criminals are incompatible. Barbara, who is a bat girl, is obviously hostile to Kaitou Kidd.

But Barbara said that she didn't hate Kidd the Phantom Thief, and Cassandra couldn't help but fell into confusion.

"What Kaitou Kidd did was wrong. Although he did not cause great harm to others like other criminals, nor would he cause society to panic, but he used other people's property without permission to perform so-called magic shows. This is wrong in itself, and more importantly, this kind of wrong behavior will not be exchanged for good results."

Barbara saw Cassandra's confusion, so she explained.

"Phantom Thief Kidd made a mistake. The mistake he made was indeed not serious, but no matter how small a mistake is, he must be held accountable. That's why my father, Robin, Batgirl... and many others are so persistent in trying to catch him."

"However, I think if it was not GCPD but Robin and the others who caught Kaitou Kidd, they might not choose to put Kaito Kidd in prison, but instead try to make him repent and change his past."

Hearing this, Cassandra's pupils shrank slightly.

You have to take responsibility for the smallest mistakes...but what if you make a big mistake?

Cassandra remembered what happened when she was nine years old, and a complex emotion rose in her heart.

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

For some reason, she suddenly became curious about Kaitou Kid.

"What kind of person do you think Kaito Kidd's true identity will be?"

Cassandra asked, gesturing to Barbara.

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

Barbara said in a speculative tone.

"This is just the Phantom Thief Kidd I guessed. As for what he looks like in real life, I don't know, and no one knows."

Cassandra nodded absently.

At this time, she stood up suddenly, waved at Barbara a few times, and then walked towards the door.

"Wait, Kassan, where are you going?"

Just as Barbara wanted to call Cassandra to stop, Cassandra had already left the ward and closed the door.

"This kid is really unpredictable."

Barbara shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself.

"I have known Kashan for half a year, but I still feel as ignorant of her as I was when we first met."

Just now, the strangeness in Cassandra's eyes did not hide from Barbara's eyes.

Barbara didn't point it out either.
