Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 175 The Return of the Knight
McKesson followed the source of the sound, and finally found a person behind the last bookshelf.

The man was tied up and fell to the ground facing the wall, with his back to Magison.

When seeing this person's back, Maggison's heart skipped a beat.

Just because he is too familiar with this figure.

McKesson walked up to the man and straightened him.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that "he" would be the person locked in the bell tower by the Riddler!
After a simple inspection, Maggison confirmed that the person imprisoned here was still alive, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Charlie, the plan has changed, stop now!"

McKesson quickly contacted Charlie, praying that it was still too late.

On the other side, after Pamela and Barbara got rid of the death knell, they entered Gotham's underground passage.

Under Pamela's intentional or unconscious guidance, the two women gradually approached Gordon's underground base.

"We're about to enter the confines of the Audisburg district."

After passing a corner, Pamela turned to Barbara.

"Why do we come to the Audisburg district?"

Barbara asked puzzled.

"Aren't you always worried about your father?"

Hearing this, Pamela smiled at her.

"What! Did you find my dad?"

asked Barbara in surprise.

"How is he now?"

"I haven't had time to tell you about this. Didn't I split up with you to find Commissioner Gordon and Little James the night before the death knell hit Robinson Park?"

"On the way to find little James, I met a man."

Then, Pamela told Barbara about meeting Kaito Kidd.

Of course she didn't mention Maggison's name.

"Oh, Pamela, I must thank you for bringing me this wonderful news!"

After listening to Pamela's narration, Barbara directly hugged her excitedly.

"Hey! Hey! Don't rush to get excited. After seeing your father, there is still a lot of time for you to catch up."

Pamela patted Barbara's back and said helplessly.

"Ah."

Barbara nodded, and the two separated, moving on.

After a while, the two women finally came near Gordon's base.

But they didn't go in directly, but found a sewer manhole cover and put it on the ground.

After all, Gordon and the others saw Pamela as "Fuji Mine", not her original appearance.

In this way, Pamela could not explain how she knew the location of the underground base.

She knew that Gordon was now sending people to secretly look for Barbara, as long as they wandered around, they would be easily spotted.

As for why the two of them came to the Audisburg area, it would be no problem to blame it all on Death Knell.

Barbara knew Pamela's difficulties, and she was willing to help Pamela make this fake.

So, after walking around for about two hours, the two women were successfully stopped.

It was Blake who came.

As the youngest and strongest member of the police force who is also the easiest to bully, he is basically unavoidable when going out.

At this time, Blake had actually been looking for a day along the direction that Mine Fujiko had revealed to them.

But there was no trace of Barbara.

As a result, I didn't expect to encounter it on the return trip.

"Barbara! Why are you here?"

Blake first asked in confusion, then turned his gaze to Pamela Road.

"And this one is..."

"Pamela, don't worry, it's my own."

Barbara interrupted.

Blake nodded, he knew that Pamela should be the one who accompanied Barbara to Gotham.

In Gotham's current situation, being able to risk their lives to accompany each other is enough to show the deep relationship between the two women.

"This is not a safe place, come with me, your father wants to see you very much now."

Blake looked around and said after confirming that no one had noticed them.

"Let's go."

Barbara and Pamela followed Blake and returned to the underground tunnel.

"It's much safer here."

After walking for a while, Blake turned to Barbara.

"Barbara, why did you come here? Have you seen Lupine III and others?"

"And what about the injury on your arm?"

"Who is Lupine the Third? I've never met this man."

Barbara wondered, "Actually, Pamela and I escaped all the way from the old town."

"I met the death knell, and I finally escaped his pursuit."

"Death knell?"

Blake was dumbfounded.

As a Gotham person, how could he not know the name of Death Knell.

He took a deep look at Pamela, this ordinary girl was able to escape from the death knell.

This person must not be simple!
Although Blake doesn't know what Barbara's abilities are, he believes that no matter how strong Barbara is, she will never be a match for Deathstroke, and even if she escapes, it will be difficult.

If Pamela is an oil bottle, the two of them will never escape the death knell.

Now that the two women have appeared in front of him safely, it proves that they have escaped the tracking of the death knell, and there are not many people who can do this in the whole world.

Blake remained calm on the surface, but he paid more attention to Pamela in his heart.

Soon, they came to the entrance of the base.

Blake was about to knock on the door when he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

He stopped, and suddenly looked into the depths of the tunnel behind him, but there was nothing there.

The strange feeling also dissipated.

Blake shook his head, it seemed that he was too sensitive, and continued to knock on the door.

This time it was Aaron who opened the door for them.

"Oh! It's Barbara, rookie, you really got her back!"

As soon as the door opened, Aaron saw Barbara and immediately grinned.

"Hey, Jim! Come and see, your baby girl is all right... well, she's hurt her arm, she's a strong girl."

"Of course, you are even a stupid girl, so stupid!"

After laughing, Aaron reprimanded Barbara with a straight face.

"Who told you to go back to Gotham, do you know how dangerous it is now! The situation is already tense and you want to add chaos to us!"

"Yes yes yes, I'm sorry, Uncle Cash."

Barbara wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and quickly changed the subject.

"Where is my dad?"

"Come with me."

However, just as they walked into the base, the field suddenly fell into darkness.

"What the hell is this situation, the power is blocked?"

Aaron yelled.

Barbara and the others quickly formed a circle with their backs against each other in order to deal with various emergencies.

Maybe a few seconds, a dozen seconds or a minute.

The lost power is automatically restored.

The lighting system came back on.

Nothing happened.

As if it was just an ordinary trip.

"The electrical circuits used in the underpass are completely different from the electrical circuits in the home, and this should not be the case."

According to Aaron's experience, the power supply in the underpass has not had a failure for more than five years.

"If someone has tampered with it, then his target is probably not us."

Blake suggested one possibility.

"Jim!"

Aaron suddenly woke up, and so did everyone else.

They quickly ran deep into the base, trying to reach the tunnel where Gordon was.

"Don't worry... I'm fine."

However, before they could run halfway, Gordon staggered over.

"Jim, do you know what just happened?"

Aaron hurried over to help Gordon.

"He...he's back..."

Gordon spoke intermittently, while slowly raising his hand to the crowd.

I saw that he was holding a bat dart in his hand!

And it's not a replica Barbara is using, it's a real Batarang!

This also means that the power outage just now was by no means accidental, and it was not caused by Bain's people.

Rather, the signal for the return of the Dark Knight!
