Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"Couldn't you have already figured out the method of Kaitou Kidd? 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 worthwhile."

Bruce spoke, affirming Dick's thoughts.

"As I said before, you should find time to improve your reconnaissance and reasoning ability, instead of just being reckless every day. If you are smarter than Kaitou Kidd, you won't always lose to him."

The corners of Dick's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

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

Although it often appears to be a step late in the action against the Kaitou Kidd, it is undeniable that Dick can finally reflect Kidd's real plan in every event, except for some special parts.

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

At some point, Dick could even turn around and ambush Kidd the Phantom Thief. Let alone whether he succeeded in the end, at least he had the opportunity to set up an ambush.

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

Taken together, even a person whose wisdom surpasses Kaito Kidd may not be able to see Kidd's overall plan in time.

It's not easy for Dick to do that.

But in Bruce's mouth, he was said to be an impulsive and reckless brainless person, either this or that, as if Dick had endless thorns and flaws that could not be corrected.

Since Dick took the role of Robin, Bruce has become more and more demanding on him in the past few years, and his picks have become more and more frequent, which often makes Dick feel uncomfortable.

And this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that Dick has no way to refute Bruce, because Bruce can surpass him in all directions, and Bruce can do what Dick can't do.

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

Conversely, 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 deep resentment towards Bruce.

Dick sighed helplessly, he didn't want to discuss this matter with Bruce in depth, he brought the topic back to the original sand table, and pointed to the sand table as if he didn't hear it.

"So... how Kaito Kidd made the bat light disappear that day, are you planning to use this to simulate the whole process?"

Dick pinched his chin and asked. He himself was curious about Kidd's method. He had secretly done many simulations, and several times they were close to success, but it was difficult to achieve perfect results.

"Also—why do you 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 flatly.

"Uh, well, you have the final say. You said just now that you thought of three different ways to make Kaito Kidd disappear. Which three are they?"

Dick continued.

I saw Bruce took out a small white cloth model and pinched it with his thumb and forefinger. Obviously, it was the white cloth that Kaito Kidd used to cover the bat lamp before, and it was also an important part of Kaito Kidd's technique.

"The first method, assuming that Kaito Kidd has mastered some kind of space transfer technology, such as the sonic explosion channel of the mother box or future technology, may come from the 30th century or the 64th century. The carrier medium of this space technology may be other not-known The object noticed may also be this piece of cloth."

Bruce made his first guess with a serious expression.

Dick: "..."

How should I put it, what Bruce said is by no means alarmist, let alone whimsical, but a real objective fact.

For example, the Flash in Central City, he often goes to the 30th century for vacation, and occasionally brings back some "specialties". The Flash's old enemy, Reverse Lightning, even traveled directly from the 25th century.

In addition, it is said that Superman has been to the 31st century, what superhero legion has he joined? Dick didn't know the details, but it did happen.

Even Dick himself has met the Man of the 64th, a future magician named Abra Cadabra, a supervillain who fought alongside the Teen Titans' Kid Flash.

They are said to be magicians, but they use all unimaginable future technologies, and their performance is more magical than magic, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Taken together, it seems reasonable to expect Kaito Kidd to have some sort of space technology as well.

However, Dick, who thought he knew something about Kaitou Kidd, still felt that this was unlikely.

"The second way, Kaitou Kidd is a magician on the surface, but actually masters magic, and the white cloth is his magic tool."

Speaking of this, Bruce paused, glanced at Dick and said, "I know what you're thinking, Dick, the possibility of these two ways being true is very small, but it's definitely not zero!"

"The Zatara family has used magicians as their profession for generations, just to cover up their research on magic. No one can guarantee whether Kaitou Kidd is the same."

"Have you forgotten Cadabra? When he came here in the 64th century, he started by disguising as an ordinary magician. No one can tell that he is using future technology. You can be 100% sure Isn't Kaitou Kid like this?"

Bruce's calm question had Dick lost in thought.

Yeah, he really doesn't seem to be 100% sure that Kaito Kidd is using normal modern magic, because it's so easy to disguise it with magic or futuristic technology, and Dick would never see it.

Not only Dick, but even Bruce is very likely to be deceived, because this is the limitation of the times.

The problem of magic is actually okay. Bruce can consult Zatanna at any time, and what he fears most is the kind of future black technology that will not know how many centuries later.

It is impossible to detect the problem with existing technical means.

"The first two possibilities are indeed relatively small, so I think the third possibility has greater reference value."

At this moment, Bruce changed the subject and began to talk about the last way he thought of.
