Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 177 True True False False, False False True True (two in one chapter)

"why?"

Pamela looked at Barbara with puzzled eyes.

"Because I'm worried about..."

Before Barbara finished speaking, a voice that left a deep impression on the two women reached their ears.

"I know you're in there right now, Batgirl..."

"The passage inside here has already been sealed, and you will be found after you hide for a long time. Instead of wasting time, it is better to stand up."

I saw the death knell stepping in from the entrance of the passage, standing in the middle of a mob with guns.

"I can take the two of you away safely, and this bunch of trash can't hurt you."

After the death knell walked in, he just said a few words calmly inside, and had no intention of going in to find it.

The other thugs are Bane's subordinates. They dare not provoke Death Knell, but it doesn't mean they will obey Death Knell's orders.

So dozens of thugs rushed into the underground base, looking for the traces of the two women.

Hearing the sound of the death knell, Pamela was shocked and her eyes turned red.

"The funeral bell!"

"Why, why does Deathstroke know we're here?"

Pamela asked Barbara through gritted teeth.

"It must be the ghost who leaked the information about us here."

Barbara also hated the sound.

"But you've already taken off the Batgirl uniform, and I haven't used my abilities, how would he know our identities?"

"Have you forgotten the excuse I used just now to prevent them from suspecting us and why I suddenly appeared here?"

Barbara smiled wryly, this time she really shot herself in the foot.

"We volunteered the name of Deathstroke."

"I just didn't expect that he would leak the information to Deathstroke in such a short period of time, and that Deathstroke could come here so quickly."

"They have a lot of energy, either Bain's subordinates or Penguin's subordinates."

Pamela was silent, indeed, as Barbara said, escaping the death knell was a perfect reason.

But because of the existence of the inner ghost, this became the key to the exposure of the two of them.

"I remember that we entered the Audisburg area because we escaped the pursuit of death knell. It seems that we only told Blake. Could it be that he is the ghost you mentioned!"

Pamela suddenly woke up and said.

"No, I'm sure Blake isn't the mole."

Barbara shook her head.

"As for how the real insider knows what we are saying, there are too many ways. They can install monitoring devices in various places in the tunnel, or they can hide bugs on Blake while he is not paying attention."

"Blake has very little defense against everyone in the GCPD, and it's very easy to do that."

"So, after talking for a long time, who is the inner ghost?"

At this time, Pamela felt as if there were countless cats scratching her heart, and asked Barbara eagerly.

"The inner ghost is..."

When talking about this, perhaps their voices were not well controlled, which caught the attention of a mob.

He raised his gun and walked over to where the two women were hiding.

The two women looked at each other, and retreated in opposite directions with a tacit understanding...

On the other side, Gordon came to Midtown Island alone.

The island sits at the center of Gotham's geography and is surrounded by water.

The four longest inland rivers in Gotham, the Merchant River, the East River, the Queens River, and the Gotham River, all flow through Midtown Island and meet here.

If viewed from the sky, the river just forms a ring, enclosing Zhongcheng Island in the middle.

Gordon cautiously crossed a bridge into the confines of Midtown Island.

There are very few residents here, and industrial parks and some famous corporate headquarters will be built here.

The most typical is the Pruitt Building.

In addition, there are many landmark attractions here, and the Gotham Tower Wayne Tower is all on Midtown Island.

Yes, that's right, Wayne Tower was also one of Bruce's secret bases.

In every administrative division of Gotham, there are at least one or two exclusive bases for Batman.

It could be in the sky, or it could be underground.

As Gordon traveled deeper and deeper, he gradually discovered the abnormality here.

Although there are not many urban residents in Zhongcheng Island, there are many workers and fishermen here, and there are not a few people who live on the river water.

At the same time, the location of Zhongcheng Island is relatively special. As long as it is not invaded by gangsters, it will basically not face any threats.

But Gordon walked all the way, but there was no pedestrian on Midtown Island, not even a house with lights on.

Not even a single light in the Pruitt Building was on.

The entire island was empty and dead.

Gordon found no traces of firefights on the block, so why did the local residents flee the island?

In other words, someone drove away all the people on Zhongcheng Island...

Thinking of this, Gordon slapped his head. Is it even necessary to think about it?
Of course it was Bane who drove all the people here.

Batman says he's found where the nuke is hidden, and apparently that's where it is.

It is impossible for Bane to let the residents here stay in a place with nuclear bombs.

It makes sense to think about the situation now, but it still doesn't feel quite right.

"Didn't you say that Bain's heavy defense is here, why is there no one?"

Gordon murmured inwardly.

"Is there something wrong with Batman? That's impossible."

After thinking about it, Gordon felt that maybe Bane only arranged for the hiding place of the nuclear bomb, and no guards were arranged for other places.

After calming down, Gordon continued to move forward and came to the road in front of Wayne Tower.

This is where Batman made him come.

At the same time, this is the only place where Gordon sees a light source.

The first street light under the Wayne Tower was on by itself.

Gordon trotted all the way to the streetlight.

However, there was still no one here.

"Batman, where are you?"

Gordon called twice softly.

No one responded.

"Fack! Am I really being tricked?"

Thinking of the possibility Blake raised, Gordon thought uncomfortably.

"I am here."

Just when Gordon was disheartened and was about to leave here.

A hoarse voice sounded from behind him without warning, startling Gordon.

Turning around quickly, he saw the familiar bat armor and half-exposed chin.

These all show the identity of the visitor.

Really Batman!

"Batman! I never thought you'd be late."

Gordon stared at him and complained.

"The more you cut me, the faster I grow. What am I?"

Batman said this out of nowhere.

"What did you say?"

Gordon froze for a moment.

"Unraveling the answer to this riddle is not difficult. I thought of the final answer the first time I saw this riddle."

Batman was still talking to himself, no matter what Gordon said, he didn't answer.

"However, even if I got the answer, I still can't deduce where the Riddler hid the nuclear bomb."

"shut up!"

Gordon suddenly roared out of control, pointing at the "Batman" in front of him, his eyes staring.

"I didn't have time to give you the riddle just now, how on earth did you know the content of the riddle!"

"You are definitely not Batman, who are you?"

Gordon's words came to an abrupt end here, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he thought of a person in an instant.

"Lupin III!"

"No, Lupine III is also a pseudonym, you are not an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. at all!"

"Hahaha, have you finally found out?"

I saw "Batman" laughing, stretched out his hand and raised the bat cloak behind him, covering his whole body.

Under the influence of gravity, the cloak fell down naturally.

At the same time, parts of the batsuit were also scattered on the ground.

Appearing in front of Gordon is Kaitou Kidd!

Magison straightened his top hat, and secretly complained in his heart why the bat suit was so compactly designed, and it took a lot of effort for him to take it off.

Under normal circumstances, it is obvious that it only needs to be pulled, but this time it has to be covered...

"Phantom Thief Kidd."

Gordon gritted his teeth.

"Don't pretend to be a righteous police chief, the two of us face to face here today are a perfect match, don't we?"

Maggison smiled slightly and said.

"What do you mean by that?"

Gordon frowned.

"I'm not the real Batman, are you really Gordon?"

Maggison sneered and said.

This remark exploded in Gordon's heart like a bolt from the blue.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

A few drops of cold sweat fell on Gordon's forehead.

"Tsk tsk, for the sake of acting, should I say that as an actor, you are more dedicated than I imagined?"

Maggison wondered.

"Or, you don't want to reveal your identity before you meet Batman?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Hearing an angry shout from Gordon, he drew out his pistol and pointed it at Maggison.

"boom!"

Just as Gordon raised his pistol and was about to pull the trigger, there was a gunshot from somewhere.

The shot hit the gun in Gordon's hand accurately, and a strong impact made Gordon unable to hold his weapon at all.

The pistol flew out of his hand.

"You'd better look at this person before deciding whether to continue acting."

Magison said calmly, and then gave up a position.

"Ta Tata..."

A man with bandages all over his head and a khaki windbreaker came out of the darkness and stood on the seat vacated by Maggison.

He held a pistol in his hand, and it was obvious that he was the one who shot just now.

The moment he saw this person, veins popped on Gordon's forehead, and a feeling of humiliation hit his heart.

"You managed to piss me off."

"Gordon" snapped his fingers first, then twisted his neck.

The mental outlook of the whole person changed drastically in vain.

"In the original plan, the person standing in front of me at this time should be Batman, and he should thank you for going to hell for him."

I saw "Gordon" reached out and slapped his face, and the whole face was torn off.

The exposed face was also a face wrapped in bandages!

Exactly the same as the man opposite.

"Originally, I didn't want to care about you, but now that you have discovered my identity, then I have no choice but to kill people."

"You are finally willing to take off your mask, Mr. Elliott. Of course, maybe you prefer me to call you—Silence."

Maggison revealed the true identity of the bandage weirdo in front of him.

Thomas Elliot, known as Silence!

He is one of the four oldest families in Gotham, the contemporary head of the Elliott family, similar in status to Penguin Copperpot.

But Silence's forces are far smaller than Penguin's.

Because he's not like the other super criminals in Arkham Asylum.

Others are interested in Batman, but he is interested in Bruce Wayne.

Thomas and Penguin had very different childhood experiences.

The Wayne family and the Elliott family are family friends, and the Copperpot family is relatively the least popular of the four major families because they are very close to the Falcone family.

The Falcone family is a mafia family who immigrated from Italy to Gotham, USA, and is very powerful.

Many years ago, Falcone was the most powerful underworld emperor in Gotham and even the United States. At that time, Jin Bingdu was just a gangster who had just joined the New York gang.

Penguin was even ridiculed because of his natural body shape, and was stared at in the family. His inferiority complex and cowardice were the truest portrayal of him at that time.

But what happened decades ago doesn't need to be said too much now.

All you need to know is that because of the "degeneration" of the Copperpot family, the fact that they mixed with Falcone and formed a gang with fish and meat people made the other three families very disdainful.

So the Copperpot family was alienated from the three families.

Thanks to the friendship between the Elliott family and the Wayne family, Silence became friends with Bruce at a very young age.

He thinks Bruce is the happiest person in the world, with many things he never had.

No one knows that Thomas Jr. has a twisted mentality, and he is jealous of everything about Bruce.

This jealousy drives Thomas Jr. unconsciously into the habit of imitating Bruce.

The most frightening thing is that because Bruce's parents were assassinated and killed in Crime Alley, Thomas also imitated frantically. He murdered his parents in a car accident and inherited their billions of dollars of property.

Then, he imitated Bruce Wayne through continuous observation, so that in the end he plasticized himself directly into Bruce Wayne's appearance, wrapped his face with bandages, and claimed to be silent.

That's why, when Silent pretended to be Gordon, he would say that no one in the world knows Batman better than him, and he has this kind of confidence.

It is also true that Gordon in the disguise of Silence will be so perfect.

The person who guided the direction of Bruce's life, how could Silence not investigate seriously?

"Why, why did you manage to hide it from me and convince me with all my heart that you are Batman?"

Silently staring at Magison, he questioned unwillingly.

McKesson burst out laughing.

"Do you really think you know the best about Batman in the world?"

The masked man standing beside Maggison took a step forward and tore off the bandages all over his head.

The face before Mu Mu took off the mask was revealed.

He is the real Gordon!

"You are just imitating a person's action habits, but you will never understand his psychology, keep silent, you should be the person who doesn't understand Batman the least in the world!"
