Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

At the top of the elevator shaft, a black figure stood on the edge of the elevator, holding two ropes in his hands.

Dean couldn't see the specific appearance of this person, but he was obviously much smaller than an average adult man. He was either an underage child or a woman.

Although he wonders why this man is in Wayne Tower, Dean's top priority is to eliminate the current danger.

Dean took out his card gun, fired two playing cards with two bangs, and knocked off the electric shock devices attached to the two mutant bats in one fell swoop.

At this point, the mutant man-bat's body is no longer filled with electricity, and even if he passes by Dean, it will not have any impact on him.

Immediately afterwards, the man above loosened one of the ropes, allowing a mutant bat to fall. Dean could then move from this gap and loosen the other rope.

To prevent two mutant bats from falling down at the same time, Dean would be pushed down as well.

Whoosh!

Dean climbed to the top floor of Wayne Tower as quickly as possible and landed opposite the black figure.

At this time, the appearance of the mysterious reinforcements was completely revealed in front of Dean.

A girl wearing black clothes and a gas mask, half a head shorter than Dean.

The mask she wore covered most of her face, making it impossible for ordinary people to identify her.

Obviously, Dean was not in this category of ordinary people. As a master of disguise, he saw through the girl's disguise in an instant.

And this made Dean even more surprised and curious about the girl's appearance.

Because this girl is Cassandra Cain!

Surprisingly, not far behind Cassandra, there were four mutant bats tied up with ropes into a pile. Although they did not lose consciousness, they were unable to move.

There is no doubt that Cassandra took down four mutant bats by herself.

It's just not clear whether she encountered four of them at once or one by one.

No matter what the situation is, Cassandra's actual combat effectiveness is terrifying.

As for why Cassandra appears here?

This is about a few hours ago, when Dean disguised himself as Bruce Wayne and opened the virtual live broadcast room for the first time.

Cassandra was also a member of the live audience at that time.

In fact, Cassandra herself was not very interested in the riots in Gotham. It was only when a group of thugs attacked her indiscriminately that she had to teach them a lesson.

Therefore, at first she didn't care at all about Bruce Wayne declaring war on Black Mask in Robinson Park, and she had almost no intention of watching the live broadcast.

Until inadvertently, Cassandra glanced at the mobile phone dropped by some thug on the ground and saw the so-called Bruce Wayne on the screen.

Only then did she suddenly realize that something was wrong with Bruce Wayne.

Even though he looked flawless on the outside, Cassandra was certain that the Bruce on the live broadcast was definitely not who he was.

And she also discovered that "Bruce's" body habits were exactly the same as Dean's!

In other words, exactly like Kaitou Kidd.

After all, in Cassandra's eyes, Dean's body language is exactly the same as Kid's.

After the last time she asked Dean face to face, although Cassandra did not see through Dean's lie, she still had doubts in her heart. She still believed that it was impossible for two people in the world to have the same body language.

It is possible for one person to have two different body languages, such as a person with schizophrenia, but how can two people share the same one?

Even twins with highly identical personalities and habits are not possible.

Kassandra has been wanting to meet Kaitou Kidd for a long time, but Kaitou Kidd seems to have disappeared recently, and no notice has been released for more than a month.

There was no chance of meeting Kaitou Kidd.

Until today, Cassandra saw "Bruce"'s live broadcast and immediately recognized his true identity as Kaitou Kidd.

The person who wants to attract Black Mask is not Bruce, but Kaitou Kidd!

Cassandra rushed towards Robinson Park immediately.

However, unlike Batman and others, she had her own means of transportation and could only rely on her legs to travel. Therefore, before Cassandra arrived at Robinson Park, the Man-Bat Virus had already begun to spread in the East End.

Cassandra was originally at risk of contracting the virus, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional. She didn't want to be discovered by outsiders this time, so she put on a mask that covered the lower half of her face.

The filtration effect of the mask was not very good, but it was much better than leaving the mouth and nose exposed, which made Cassandra lucky not to be infected when the virus first broke out.

Instead, she witnessed with her own eyes a scene in which humans were infected with a mutation of the human-bat virus.

Kassandra, who had never gone to school, naturally did not understand what a virus was. Fortunately, she could understand the fact that the infected person's body had undergone tremendous changes.

The root cause of this change is related to breathing!

That's right, Cassandra doesn't just read the superficial body movements of humans, she can still see even the abnormal conditions inside the body.

Although she didn't know anything about viruses, Cassandra knew that there was such a thing as a gas mask, and she also knew that some air needed to be filtered before it could be inhaled.

So she immediately went to get a gas mask and put it on, and then discovered that Kidd had gone to Wayne Tower.

Cassandra is one of the top fighters in the world, and the security measures of the currently nearly paralyzed Wayne Tower are naturally impossible to stop her. She sneaked in easily.

Not long after, an astonishing explosion came from the elevator shaft where Dean was, which not only attracted the mutant bat, but also led Cassandra here.

And helped Dean out of trouble at a critical moment.

——

At this moment, in the elevator room on the top floor of Wayne Tower.

Dean, dressed as Kaitou Kidd, bowed slightly to Cassandra and smiled.

"Miss, thank you for reaching out to me."

Then, under Cassandra's confused and puzzled eyes, Dean raised her right hand and kissed her fingers gently.

Kassandra quickly retracted her right hand, her face a little overwhelmed. She had never had this level of physical contact with anyone in her life.

What was he... doing just now?

Cassandra stared blankly at the back of her hand, unable to understand the meaning of Kid's actions just now.

Although Kaitou Kidd could tell from his body language that he was expressing his gratitude to her, for some reason, Cassandra felt that using her mouth and hands on her hands was not an ordinary behavior.

And she had never seen another person express gratitude in this way, so she was stunned for a moment.

More importantly, when Dean kissed her hand, Cassandra felt a feeling in her heart that she couldn't understand at all.

anger? disgust? joy? hatred?

None seem to match.

Somehow, Cassandra suddenly remembered a word that Barbara had given her before.

shy.

"Is the feeling I just felt... called shyness? Barbara said that girls tend to feel shy when they have close contact with the opposite sex. This should be what she was referring to."

Cassandra thought with some novelty, it was really a wonderful and indescribable feeling.

"May I ask, young lady, why are you here? And how did you come to Wayne Tower?"

At this time, Dean asked Cassandra.

Just as Cassandra was about to make a few gestures to answer, a sound suddenly came from the elevator shaft!

Dean and Cassandra moved at the same time, looking down the elevator shaft, and saw several more mutant bats rushing over.

"Counting the numbers, these should be the last mutant bats in Wayne Tower."

Dean was calm in his heart. If he was still in the elevator shaft, he would indeed have a headache in this situation, but it was different now.

He calmly took out the remaining high-voltage electric shock devices and threw them one by one towards the mutant bats below.

In a vertically upward elevator shaft, you don't even need to aim too much to guarantee a 100% hit.

If the previous elevator shaft was a dangerous place where Dean could face life-threatening danger at any time, then the current elevator shaft is an excellent trap to eliminate mutant bats.

Sizzsssssssss——

Bursts of lightning flashed, and the last few mutant bats lost all ability to move, and fell straight onto the wreckage of the elevator below.

At this point, there is no longer any threat in Wayne Tower. At the same time, in five minutes, the Chocolat device will be turned on and the outside world will return to normal.

The young people of Gotham will enjoy their normal youth years instead of spending the rest of their lives with the city full of bat monsters.

At the same time, the media workers who were watching Kaitou Kidd's live broadcast keenly sensed huge business opportunities after meeting Cassandra.

Who is this mysterious girl with her face covered? What's the relationship with Kaitou Kidd?

Could it be that he is Kaitou Kidd's partner? Or sister? Is it even possible for a more intimate relationship?

This girl seems to be an underage girl. Does Kaitou Kidd exist...

Although Kaitou Kidd seems to be meeting her for the first time, is this important?

It's not important at all, what's important is that they caught Kaitou Kid's scandal!

Regardless of whether this scandal is true or not, they dare to guarantee that as long as this scandal is stirred up, the popularity will probably be unprecedentedly high.

Anyway, Kaitou Kidd couldn't come out to clarify, so it would be impossible to write it in such a way as to attract people's attention!

Besides, they were not sure whether there was a relationship between Kaitou Kidd and the mysterious girl. It was true that the girl helped Kaitou Kidd, and they were not making things up out of thin air.

At that time, as long as the writing is more ambiguous, the effect may be better.

Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie...

——

Some time later, Dean and Cassandra arrived on the rooftop of Wayne Tower early.

I don't know whether it was out of tacit understanding, or Cassandra could see through Dean's body movements that he was not prepared to talk at this time, but the two of them didn't say a word the whole time.

Cassandra had never even done a single sign.

After all, the live broadcast is still going on, and Dean doesn't want Cassandra to reveal any extraordinary information inadvertently.

Now that Cassandra was covered up from head to toe, Dean wasn't worried that she would be recognized from her appearance.

At first, Dean was worried that Cassandra might not cooperate because he had used trickery to make Cassandra think or suspect that Kidd and Dean were two different people.

When it comes to himself, Dean knows that Cassandra will maintain a good communication attitude, but when it comes to Kaitou Kidd, Dean can't guarantee it.

If Cassandra was unhappy and planned to practice with Kaitou Kidd, or was anxious to talk to him as soon as possible, Dean was really not sure what would happen at that time.

Maybe he will be forced to close the virtual live broadcast room suddenly and expose some key information at the same time.

The possibility is very low, but low does not mean it does not exist.

Dean learned about Cassandra's body reading ability through the Eye of True Sight, and he knew that his communication with Cassandra did not need to be through the mouth.

As long as he thinks "Don't speak for now, speak again after a while", his body will naturally reveal this information and be read by Cassandra, and this is something that no one can control voluntarily.

In short, Dean and Cassandra came to the rooftop of Wayne Tower in silence, waiting for the final activation of the Chocolat device.

At this time, the sky has turned slightly white, which is a sign that the sun is about to rise.

Unknowingly, from the time when Black Mask blew up Blackgate Prison to now, so many things have happened in Gotham in just one night.

So many that it felt like it was not just one night, but twenty days and nights.

Fortunately, this long night is finally coming to an end.

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Almost as soon as Dean and the two arrived on the rooftop, the countdown ended.

A large hole opened automatically in the center of the rooftop of Wayne Tower, and then a huge, strange-shaped device came out of it.

The next second, this device was like an artificial rainfall generator, with a huge amount of Inverse Bat reagent spurting out from the weird nozzle on the top of the Chocrat device.

When the reagent rushes out of the nozzle and contacts the air, it instantly atomizes from a thick liquid to an overwhelming mist, spreading crazily outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All mutant human bats that were touched by the water mist formed by the anti-human bat reagent seemed to be drunk, and their bodies were flying unsteadily in the sky, as if they were about to crash at any time.

They struggled to flap their wings, but their flying height became lower and lower. At the same time, the fur on their bodies began to fall off, their fangs and claws retracted, and their wings gradually became smaller.

There are fewer and fewer bat-like traits, and more and more human traits.

By the time they staggered to the ground, they had almost transformed back into humans.

(A little preview: after this plot is written, the protagonist will go to a new city to write the last plot in Gotham. Currently, Star City is tentatively selected, and Robin will also transform into Nightwing after the Gotham plot ends. , after arriving in the new city, there will be a lot of Cassian-related plots, which will involve the League of Assassins and Mrs. Siwa)
