Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 176 The Inner Ghost (Two Chapters in One)

"Batman, is he back?"

After seeing the bat dart in Gordon's hand, everyone present was taken aback.

However, no one noticed at this time that apart from shock, there were other emotions hidden on Blake's face...

"Dad, have you met Batman yet?"

Barbara asked eagerly.

Gordon nodded.

"What did you all say?"

"The time just now was too short. He only told me that he had found the location of the fusion reactor, and that it was heavily guarded."

"He wants us to help him hold back Baine's army."

Gordon repeated what Batman had said to him a few minutes earlier.

"And tonight at twelve o'clock is when he is going to do it, so I decided to call everyone in the underground network of GCPD immediately."

"Blake, you are the only one of us who is most familiar with the underground network, because you are the one who is most often outside."

At this time, Gordon turned his attention to Blake.

"So, the task of gathering everyone together is given to..."

"Wait a minute, how can we be sure that the one who came just now must be Batman? Maybe it's just Bane's conspiracy to catch us all."

Blake demurred.

He always felt that this incident was too coincidental, Batman shouldn't have appeared at this time...

"I'm pretty sure that's Batman. No one in this world knows Batman better than me."

After listening to Blake's objection, Gordon immediately looked at him with approval.

"However, if you can consider this possibility, it means that you already have the ability to become an excellent police officer, Blake."

Gordon concluded that what he saw must be Batman himself.

Because Batman has many details that others can't notice, but he can clearly notice it.

And he is confident that he is the only one in the world who can notice these little-known details...

If you don't count Alfred.

"Dad, can Pamela and I participate in the action?"

Barbara asked Gordon excitedly.

"Take it with me, both of you, and don't go anywhere!"

Gordon's complexion sank, and he glared at Barbara.

"Jim, your body can't support the rest of the battle."

At this time, Aaron suddenly said to Gordon with a serious face.

"What do you mean, Aaron? Do you want me to watch you go to hell and do nothing!"

Gordon became emotional.

"The city of Gotham entrusts all of me, and I must participate in the operation to save her!"

"No, Jim, your body can't force it."

Aaron's attitude remained unchanged. "The fusion reactor is now a nuclear bomb. We must gather the strongest combat power to be effective. Jim, you have lost the combat power you should have now."

"Listen to me, don't force yourself, just wait for our good news in the rear."

"I know my body very well. As long as I want to, I can knock down any of you at any time."

Gordon said this sentence sincerely, and a strange aura emanated from him.

Although the current Gordon is pale and needs to support the wall to keep standing, but for some reason, when he utters this sentence, he can convince others from the bottom of his heart.

"No, you can't."

"No, I can."

"Your body can't handle it."

"I can handle it."

So, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the two started to quarrel.

"You can't stand it."

"It's worth it."

"You can't stand it!!!"

At this time, Aaron completely forgot Gordon's identity as director, and he was just Gordon's subordinate. Now he is just an old comrade who lived and died with Gordon.

Aaron grabbed Gordon's collar, "I won't make you stupid!"

"Oh, no! Uncle Kesh, don't be impulsive!"

Everyone hurried up to pull Aaron and Gordon away.

Unexpectedly, the reaction force generated when the two separated made Gordon lose his balance instantly, and fell backwards to pull his Blake away.

"Ok?"

When Gordon fell on Blake, Blake faintly felt a strange bulge in the inner pocket of his clothes near his left chest.

Blake remained calm and slowly helped Gordon up.

"Aaron, I know what you're thinking, but I have to go."

Gordon suddenly calmed down.

"I am the director of GCPD. When everyone is fighting, I must be at the forefront."

"There is no reason, this is my responsibility!"

"But your body..."

Aaron's words came to an abrupt end.

Because he saw Gordon take out a syringe from his arms.

"Stimulants! Jim, you..."

Everyone looked at Gordon in shock.

The people present more or less knew some knowledge about prohibited drugs.

They can all see that the doping in Gordon's hands is not the kind generally taken by suspended athletes.

It's the medicine seized from the scarecrow before!
The effect is several times stronger than ordinary stimulants, and the side effects are also several times stronger.

"I know it's a prohibited drug, but this is a special time and it's the only thing that can help me regain normal mobility."

Gordon said indifferently.

Now as long as you can win, using illegal drugs is just a trivial matter.

Seeing this, Aaron didn't say anything more. Gordon's awakening made him secretly startled.

"No more persuasion, everyone obeys my orders now!"

Gordon's momentum changed, and he shouted loudly.

"Blake, Aaron, you go to call everyone separately, and make sure to bring everyone to Midtown Island before twelve o'clock in the evening. That's where Batman told me!"

"The situation is urgent, there is no need to hide anymore, take all the weapons and forcibly attack Zhongcheng Island!"

"As for me, I will go to Midtown Island to meet Batman first."

Speaking of this, Gordon looked at Blake.

"After all, Blake's idea is not completely impossible. If it is not the real Batman, I will notify you to evacuate as soon as possible."

Gordon's attitude was very firm when he gave the order, and everyone believed that he was not joking.

"Yes, sir!"

Blake and Aaron saluted Gordon simultaneously.

Gordon responded.

"Barbara and your companion, hide here well. There is an emergency escape route behind. If Bane attacks here while we are not here, you will escape from there."

"But remember, don't take the initiative to leave here, because Gotham will be very dangerous soon."

Gordon admonishes Barbara to be a woman.

"Uh-huh."

Pamela didn't say a word the whole time, and no one really paid any attention to her.

On the contrary, it was Barbara who was actually nodding obediently at this moment.

Seeing that Barbara was so witty, Gordon nodded in satisfaction and stopped admonishing her.

"Hey, Barbara, when did you become so obedient?"

Pamela whispered to Barbara.

"Shh!"

Barbara signaled her not to talk, and at the same time signaled her with her eyes.

"Let's nod first, then we can do whatever we want after they leave."

Pamela laughed inwardly, as expected of you, Barbara.

On the other side, on the deserted road, Maggison drove a black SUV and passed quickly.

At this time, several hours had passed since he left the bell tower, and it was already dark.

Maggison was not alone in the car.

On the co-pilot of this SUV sat a man covering his face with a bandage, so that no one could see his real face.

"is this okay?"

Maggison asked suddenly, his head remained motionless, his eyes always kept in front of him.

"No problem, since they ignored you, it means that our plan must be successful."

The thick voice of the masked man came from the side, and there was a bit of sigh and emotion in his tone.

"Phantom Thief Kidd, I never thought that one day you would be the key to saving Gotham."

"Ha, there are many things you can't think of."

Maggison's mouth twitched slightly.

"No, you know what I just asked was not about the plan, but that you want me to pretend to be that person. Is this really okay, although I don't mind disguised as anyone."

"However, that person should have an extraordinary status in your heart."

Hearing this, the masked man was shocked, but he didn't speak.

After a long time, he said again: "I didn't know that he would go to Bain, let alone that he knew the danger of Bain a long time ago, otherwise I would try my best to prevent him from acting alone, at least I will choose to fight alongside him..."

"For this incident, I feel extremely guilty and remorseful."

"But at the same time, I deeply understand one thing, that is, for him, for Batman, protecting the fragile city of Gotham is the meaning of his life."

McKesson didn't interrupt him, just listened.

"He once told me that everyone can be Batman, and of course you can, and there's nothing I can't accept."

The masked man said so.

Maggison smiled politely, but there was a hundred thousand rejections in his heart.

It's okay to pretend to be Batman once in a while, but if he really wants to wear that cape, forget it.

Becoming a superhero or something is impossible in this lifetime!
"Haven't you ever thought about what to do if Batman comes back? Wouldn't he be furious if I went up and pretended to be him?"

Maggison said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"That would be better for our plans, wouldn't it?"

The masked man asked back.

"Hahaha, that's right."

Magison thought of a happy event and laughed.

"It's getting late, we have to hurry up."

Maggison stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car quickly reached full speed.

"Basically, I don't use transportation very much. It's rare to hold the steering wheel today, and it feels pretty good."

"Can't you drive a little slower? Driving too fast can easily lead to accidents!"

"I get it, I get it, don't worry, sir, we'll be there soon."

I saw Maggison driving an SUV into a bridge, driving farther and farther under the night...

The perspective turns back to Barbara.

"Barbara, they've all left, don't we..."

"Come on!"

Pamela made a quick turn around the temporary base in the tunnel, and now there were only the two of them left.

She believes that Barbara is definitely not an obedient and good baby. Barbara is willing to miss the course of action proposed by Batman.

Unexpectedly, before Pamela finished speaking, Barbara interrupted her directly.

"We can't stay here!"

I saw Barbara running towards the emergency escape route without looking back.

"So anxious?"

Pamela chased after him in a daze.

"Barbara, there is an emergency escape route over there, and now that Bain's people haven't broken in, why are we running there?"

Hearing this, Barbara, who had already run half way, suddenly stopped moving forward.

"wrong!"

"Why is it wrong again?"

The corner of Pamela's mouth twitched.

"Don't use the emergency escape route."

Barbara said to herself.

"Hey, Barbara, what the hell are you doing!"

Pamela yelled loudly, bringing Barbara back to her senses in an instant.

"What's the matter, Pamela?"

"You still ask me what's wrong? It's almost the same if I ask you what's wrong!"

Pamela put her hands on her hips and hummed.

"That's why you wanted to leave in such a hurry just now, why did you take the emergency escape route, and why did you stop suddenly in the middle of the walk?"

"Pamela, don't you notice?"

Barbara did not respond directly to Pamela's question, but asked a question back.

"Perceive what?"

Pamela still didn't understand what Barbara meant.

"You don't have much contact with members of GCPD, and it's normal not to find any abnormalities, but I'm different from you. I have been in contact with them almost every day since I was a child, so I am familiar with each of them."

"Pamela, I hope you won't be surprised by what I say next."

Barbara said to Pamela seriously.

Pamela said she was mentally prepared.

"I suspect that an insider has infiltrated the GCPD... No, it's not a suspicion, I'm sure!"

"In that group just now, someone is not a true member of the GCPD!"

Barbara said surprisingly.

"What did you say!"

Pamela covered her mouth.

"You heard it right, so I guess the emergency passage is likely to be tampered with, as long as we go there, we will fall into a trap."

Barbara said cautiously.

"So that's why you're leaving here as soon as they're gone."

Pamela suddenly realized.

"It's not too late, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

The two women stopped talking and ran towards the front passage again.

But unfortunately, they were still one step too late after all.

"Tat-tat...tat-tat...tat-tat..."

After running for a while, the two women heard rapid footsteps.

The voices are disjointed and numerous.

"someone is coming!"

Barbara and Pamela looked at each other, and they both saw the same message.

Fortunately, there are many abandoned passages here, and they can find hidden objects anytime and anywhere.

They got into the abandoned passage tube next to them immediately.

"Sure enough, these people are all gun-toting thugs."

Barbara observed the situation through the small mirror she carried with her and said.

"Do you want me to directly..."

Pamela made a neck-slicing gesture to Barbara.

These guys are just normal thugs, not like the perverts like Deadshot or Deathstroke.

With Pamela's ability, it is not difficult to kill everyone in the arena in one go.

"No, we can't do that."

Barbara shook her head.
