Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 228 The End of Everything (Part 2)

Iceberg Casino, outside the VIP room.

Robin's proposal to go in and check out the gems was approved by Gordon and others.

"no!"

However, just as Robin was about to take action, a voice of opposition suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, and when they looked back, they found that the person who made the noise was actually the mayor!

The mayor walked up to the crowd and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "We must not let Robin and that little bat girl go inside!"

"This? Mr. Mayor, what do you mean by this?"

Bullock felt puzzled by the mayor's sudden speech, "Only Robin and Batgirl have the corresponding equipment and skills. If they are not allowed to enter, can we just stand here and wait?"

"Or are we going to bet the lives of everyone present on whether the bomb has been deactivated?"

Faced with Bullock's questioning, the mayor remained calm and even taught him a lesson in return.

"You idiot! Do you know why you have more seniority than Gordon and have no less credit than him, but now he is your boss? This is the reason!"

The mayor's angry curse made Bullock's face turn red.

"Harvey is an excellent police officer, Mr. Mayor. Although he is not very smart sometimes, he has more experience than anyone else and has made great contributions to many incidents."

Gordon put in a kind word for his old partner.

The mayor was noncommittal.

"Sorry, Mr. Mayor, we are not very smart either. Can I ask you what you want to do?"

At this time, Robin and Batgirl joined the conversation, and it was obvious that they were not very happy about the mayor's words.

"Let me ask you, from just now to now, who has actually seen Kaitou Kidd?"

The mayor snorted coldly and asked them immediately.

"No."

The mayor continued to ask: "Does any of you know the true identity of Phantom Thief Kidd? Or is there anyone who can 100% prove that he is not Phantom Thief Kidd?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"No!"

The mayor asked himself.

"None of you can 100% escape the suspicion of Kaitou Kidd. Even if you and Kaitou Kidd appeared in the same place at the same time, it is well known that Kaitou Kidd is very good at using dolls or other things to create the illusion of clones, so Kaito Kidd may be among us at this very moment!”

"And Robin and Batgirl, I believe you won't be Kaitou Kidd, but which one of you dares to take off your mask? You two are the most likely to be disguised."

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell into deep thought.

"You finally realize what the problem is."

The mayor said with a gloomy expression, "If I remember correctly, one of the rules set by the Phantom Thief Black Crow is: If we don't do our best to stop the actions of Phantom Thief Kidd, the bomb will explode."

"It was reasonable for us to stay where we were because our sight was blocked just now, but if it were us watching helplessly as someone disguised as Kaitou Kid went in and got the gems in an open and honest manner... Especially Robin and Batgirl, who are you two? Dare to take off your mask to prove your identity? You are the most suspicious person here!"

"Anyway, if we stand aside and do nothing during this process, what do you think the Phantom Thief Black Crow will do?"

At this moment, everyone understood the meaning of the mayor's words.

Even though it was an extremely despicable approach, who would think that the Phantom Thief Black Crow is a morally upstanding man?

When he was about to lose to Kaitou Kidd, God knew what he would do.

Phantom Thief Black Crow doesn't even necessarily follow the rules he sets himself!

"Do you understand? Among us, there is only one person who is definitely not Kaitou Kidd, and that's me!"

Finally, the mayor pointed to himself and said.

Of all the people present, only the mayor had appeared with Kaitou Kidd many times in different places, and had never been involved in any of Kaitou Kidd's cases. The most important thing was that he had just verified that he had no disguise.

"Even if you are right, Mr. Mayor, what does it mean?"

Brock asked confused.

"What I mean is that I should go and check the condition of the gems."

The mayor made a shocking statement.

"no!"

Gordon and Bullock immediately objected, "Let's not say that you shouldn't have participated in such a dangerous thing in the first place. Let's talk about your current physical condition. How could you crawl through the hook and lock?"

"It doesn't matter. You can wrap a safety rope around my waist and tie it tightly to the hook. Even if I accidentally fall, I won't hit the floor."

The mayor waved his hand nonchalantly.

"I believe that the quality of Batman's hook lock will not even bear my weight."

"this……"

Robin and Batgirl looked at each other. They didn't expect the mayor to make such a request.

"Our hook lock gun can bear objects weighing 500 kilograms, so safety should not be a problem, but... Mr. Mayor, this is not a wise decision."

"There's no time to think about what's wise or not! Just do as I say!"

The mayor waved his hand and rejected all opinions.

"All right."

Seeing that the mayor had decided to leave, Robin and others had no choice but to agree.

Robin tied a safety rope around the mayor's waist and tied it to the hook rope. At the same time, Batgirl filled the hook lock gun and fired it at the innermost wall of the room.

The mayor grabbed the rope and climbed into the room little by little, trembling all over. During this process, he almost lost his hands and fell off the rope several times.

Although there was a safety rope for insurance, it still made everyone else watch with fear.

Finally, the mayor struggled to climb to the top of the glass cover. He lay down on the rope, stretched his hands downward with all his strength, touched both sides of the glass cover, and pulled it up.

Then he saw a piece of blue sapphire lying quietly on the booth under the glass cover. Kaitou Kidd did not succeed!

"What, isn't the gem still fine inside...wait, what is that?"

The mayor breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to put the glass cover back on, he discovered that in addition to the gems, there was also a white card on the stand.

It was Kaitou Kidd's message.

"First meeting, respected Mr. Phantom Thief Black Crow."

The moment he saw the message, the mayor's expression changed drastically.

"Sure enough, you jumped out as planned."

At this moment, Robin outside the door suddenly spoke as I expected.

"Mr. Mayor, you must be the Phantom Thief Black Crow."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"What are you talking about, Robin?"

The mayor said with an angry look on his face, "Don't joke around at times like this!"

"Robin? Haha~"

Robin let out a couple of chuckles.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? I am the person you want to see the most."

As soon as he finished speaking, Robin grabbed the collar with one hand and pulled it out, and the entire set of clothes was peeled off with a swipe.

Robin, who was still there, did not become naked, but revealed his true colors.

Kaitou Kidd.

"Kaitou Kidd!"

The mayor stared at the other party with splitting eyes.

"Robin is Kaitou Kidd! How is this possible?"

Gordon and Bullock next to them were shocked.

On the other hand, Batgirl didn't show much surprise. She seemed to have known for a long time that Kaito Kidd was dressed as Robin.

"Kidd, you said the mayor is the Phantom Thief Black Crow? But we have checked carefully and he is not in disguise."

Gordon asked questioningly.

"You're right, the mayor does not disguise himself."

Kaitou Kidd first nodded to confirm Gordon's statement, and then changed the subject.

"But who said that the Phantom Thief Black Crow will definitely change his disguise?"

Gordon was stunned.

"I have been thinking about a question since the day the incident occurred at the mayor's residence."

Kaitou Kidd looked at the mayor who was still lying on the rope and stated calmly.

"The Phantom Thief Black Crow disguised himself as a butler and killed everyone in the mayor's mansion. He also kidnapped the mayor himself and hung him on the bell tower as a declaration of war against me."

"What's interesting is that, except for the mayor, no one else witnessed the whole process, and all the surveillance data of the mayor's residence was destroyed. No one can know the real situation at that time. All the stories are from the mayor. What I heard from my mouth..."

The more Kaitou Kidd spoke, the more frightened the others became.

"Who can prove that the Phantom Thief Black Crow is real?"

"You mean the Phantom Thief Black Crow is actually the mayor, but why does he do all this?"

Gordon frowned and said in disbelief.

"Don't let him fool you, Jim! How could I be some shitty Phantom Thief Black Crow? Now hurry up and shoot, I order you to kill him on the spot!"

the mayor shouted in annoyance across the room.

"No, the mayor is not the Phantom Thief Black Crow."

Unexpectedly, Kidd shook his head and denied Gordon's question.

He looked at the mayor, his eyes as sharp as arrows, and said shockingly: "The mayor we see now is not the mayor himself at all!"

"The Phantom Thief Black Crow didn't know how to disguise himself from the beginning. He directly transplanted the mayor's face onto his own face. I'm afraid even his body shape and fingerprints were modified. The real mayor is probably long gone! "

Brock's mouth opened wide. He thought he had been shocked enough just now, but he didn't expect that he would be even more shocked later.

"This guess is really unbelievable. I wasn't sure at first, but the moment I saw the mayor coming to Iceberg Casino, I knew I was right."

Kaitou Kid continued.

"What makes the mayor leave the hospital even though he drags his bruised body? His hatred for the Phantom Thief Black Crow?"

"Wrong! The correct answer is - he was worried that further examination in the hospital would reveal that he was not the mayor, so he escaped from the hospital in a hurry!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bat Girl's communicator rang.

She turned on the loudspeaker, and Robin's voice reached the ears of everyone present.

"The results of the DNA comparison of the 'mayor's' blood sample came out. He is not the real mayor!"

Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Robin became Kaitou Kidd. It turned out that Robin ran to the hospital to collect evidence.

At this point, the truth has been revealed, and everyone glared at the mayor in the room, oh no, it's the Phantom Thief Black Crow!

"... Kaitou Kidd, you are indeed very powerful, you actually found out my identity."

The strange thief Black Crow sighed in admiration.

"But - you forgot one thing, that is, I can still drag all of you to death!"

Suddenly, Phantom Thief Black Crow's expression changed drastically, as if he was crazy, and he threw the glass cover he was holding on the ground hard.

"As long as the gravity sensing system under the floor is triggered, the bomb will explode. I haven't lost! I haven't lost yet!"

"Kaitou Kidd, what if you guessed my identity? I will be the winner in the end!"

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared and caught the glass cover that had just been released in the disbelieving eyes of the Phantom Thief Black Crow.

Then he sent it outside and threw the glass cover out the door.

This slender figure is none other than Kassandra, Kaitou Kidd’s assistant!

Her whole body is covered with lenses of various shapes, which can use the reflection of light at specific angles to achieve a similar invisibility effect. Phantom Thief Kidd used a similar technique when he stole the Bat Lantern.

That time it was to make people think the bat light was not there, and this time it was to make people think there was no one else in the room.

"Kaitou Kidd, it turns out you have a helper!"

The strange thief Black Crow said with his eyes about to burst.

Not only him, but even Batgirl didn't expect Cassandra's appearance.

When Kaitou Kidd went to Batgirl and Robin to explain his plan, he did not reveal the existence of his assistant.

"Who could this person be?"

Looking at the man with shiny lenses in front of her, the bat girl began to think.

"Damn it! I can't lose like this, I can't lose like this!"

"It doesn't matter, I can still detonate the bomb manually!"

The monster thief Black Crow was sweating profusely as he touched his body, and the more he touched, the more sweat on his face became denser.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

At this time, Kaitou Kid raised his hand and lit it up. He was holding a device similar to a remote control.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, Phantom Thief Black Crow, never let a thief get close to you."

Phantom Thief Black Crow instantly remembered that the person who helped him with the safety rope ten minutes ago was "Robin", that is, Phantom Thief Kidd!

When he realized that all the trump cards in his hand had been exhausted, the Phantom Thief Black Crow suddenly lost all hope and became as limp as a deflated ball.

He no longer struggled to keep himself on the hook, but let himself fall, and was suspended in mid-air by the safety rope he proposed to tie.

Phantom Thief Black Crow couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if he hadn't recommended himself to come in to check out the gems?

In that case, the person who comes in will be Robin, Kaitou Kid himself, who can just use the gem to stop the bomb's timing and gain complete victory.

No matter how Kaitou Black Crow chooses, he has no chance of winning.

With dexterity, Cassandra easily inserted the gem into the detonating device of the time bomb, and the countdown stopped instantly.

In crisis contact, the gravity sensing system was meaningless. Everyone no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the room.

"You're under arrest, Phantom Thief Crow."

Bullock handcuffed the thief Black Crow and said with a cold face.

Before the Phantom Thief Black Crow was taken away, he raised his head and stared at the Phantom Thief Kidd for a long time.

"Kaitou Kidd, you said everything right except for one sentence."

"Um?"

"You said it was the first time we met, but in fact we met several months ago."

Phantom Thief Black Crow showed a ferocious smile and said, "My real name is Tom. I used to work in a hotel. Do you remember me?"

"Tom?"

Kaitou Kid tilted his head and thought for a long time.

"Hehehe...hahahahahahahahaha! You don't remember me!"

Seeing this, Tom laughed so loudly that he burst into tears.

"It's nothing. For a little person like me, you should be unimpressed."

When he said this, his tone was very calm, as if he suddenly saw something.

Kaito Kidd looked at the back of Tom being taken away and fell into deep thought.

"...Tom...the hotel...ah, it's him!"

Eventually, Kidd remembers who Tom is and knocks out the disguised hotel waiter in his second performance.

"Is it really worth it to change your appearance and abandon your life for revenge?"

Dean shook his head. Such a profound question was not suitable for him to think about.

What he has to consider now is how to slip away from Batgirl, Gordon and dozens of police officers who have unknowingly surrounded him and Cassandra.

"The Phantom Thief Black Crow has been arrested, now it's your turn, Kidd."

Batgirl crossed her arms and said with a smile.

"Well, I think we still need to discuss this."

Dean raised his hand to scratch his cheek and inadvertently slipped out a few small balls from his cuffs.

boom!

A cloud of thick smoke instantly swept through everyone present.

When the smoke cleared, Dean and Cassandra disappeared.

"Tch! It's the third child again."

Batgirl curled her lips and said, she knew that Kaitou Kidd must be disguised as a policeman at the scene.

But she didn't take any action.

"I'll let you go this time, Kaitou Kidd."

While the Phantom Thief Black Crow was being arrested, on the other side was the underground of the ACE Chemical Plant.

Batman and the Penguin teamed up to find O'Kilvi, the Emperor Penguin who planned everything, and later discovered that O'Kilvi had been transformed into a mutant.

It turns out that his purpose of releasing the human bat virus was to obtain data on a large-scale human experiment at once, and to improve the human bat serum and mix it with venom.

This venom is the name of a strengthening potion that can greatly increase the strength of the human body. Ogilvy robbed a batch of venom potion from the Star Laboratory branch in Gotham.

The new enhancer mixed with venom and Man-bat serum gave Ogilvy a powerful fighting force, but in the end he was still defeated by the combination of Batman and Penguin.

At this point, a series of events that spanned several months in Gotham came to an end.

——

From that day on, Kaitou Kidd never appeared in Gotham again, but he didn't just disappear either.

Dean is still operating as a Phantom Thief, but he is no longer restricted to a certain area.

Sometimes he would go to London to take off the diamond from the royal scepter and admire it, sometimes he would touch the facets of the Prince Regent's diamond in the Louvre, and sometimes he would go to Russia to take turns wearing the Nine Crowns to pretend to be crowned, and even once Playing with the Kryptonite Stone in Superman's Fortress of Solitude...

He has left many fascinating legends around the world. No matter how strong the defenses are, they can't stop Kaitou Kidd from infiltrating. He has never failed before and will never fail again.

Wherever people are genuinely amazed and laughing, there is Kaitou Kidd, and there is Dean Suston.
