Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 45 Reappearance of the Land of Prophecy
Robinson Park, under the central statue.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth made her last speech before leaving, and countless people listened quietly.

Ingrid and Tucker stood in the middle of the royal guard.

"Sir, there is no sign of Kaitou Kidd appearing so far, will he really appear today?"

Tucker quietly asked Ingrid.

"He will definitely show up!"

Ingrid sneered, affirming.

"It's already 10:30 now, and we expect to take off at 12:30. By then, it will be more difficult for him to do it, so it can only be here."

"Maybe even the next second he will do it."

Tucker was taken aback, and immediately looked around vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, Tucker, calmness is the quality that an agent must maintain at all times."

"Sir, do you mean that Kaito Kidd may have disguised himself as someone present?"

Ingrid nodded.

"Maybe, maybe... Maybe you are Kaitou Kidd."

Ingrid suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Tucker's face, and tugged hard.

Can't pull it off, it's true.

"Sir!"

Tucker rubbed his red cheeks, wanting to cry, but soon he cheered up.

"Since we came to Gotham, the Royal Guard has been acting collectively. There is no way Kaito Kidd has the opportunity to pretend to be any of us."

"So, it can only be people from GCPD or other civilians!"

Ingrid agreed with Tucker's words.

"Sir..."

I saw Tucker's gaze fell not far away, Barbara standing side by side with Starling, the Queen specially allowed several agents to enter the inner circle, including Director Gordon was also in the innermost.

"If I remember correctly, Barbara was with Maggison before, but now she is alone, and Maggison has disappeared... Is it possible that Maggison is—"

Hearing this, Ingrid sneered.

"Don't worry, Tucker, I'm sure Kaitou Kidd will never be him!"

"Although he denied that he came from that place, I believe that my feeling is not wrong. He will at least be related to that place, and the people who are related to it will definitely not be bad people!"

These resolute words and extremely confident eyes all made Maggison, who was hiding in the dark, very grateful.

"Sir, where is that place?"

Tucker asked confusedly.

"It's a sacred place, I can't disclose too much information."

Ingrid smiled mysteriously, his eyes full of yearning for that place.

"In short, it's impossible for Maggison to belong to Kaitou Kidd. There are so many people here, it's normal for them to get separated, so there's nothing to doubt."

Tucker nodded in conviction and stopped thinking about Magison's question.

Soon, half an hour passed, and eleven o'clock in the evening was coming.

The queen's speech came to an end, but there was some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Why hasn't Charles come yet? Doesn't it mean that he knows he won't be late?"

"His Royal Highness has arrived!"

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and Prince Charles walked in and said to the Queen with an apologetic expression: "Your Majesty, I was delayed on the road and made me late for so long."

"For a leader of a country, being late often means missing important state affairs. Charles, I am very disappointed with your performance today."

There was a hint of power in the queen's light tone.

As expected, he is the monarch who has been in power for the longest time in country Y. On the surface, he seems to be just a kind old lady, but if he really gets serious, the Queen's power can overwhelm people.

A look of guilt flashed across Charles' face, and he knelt down facing the Queen with a penitent look on his face.

"Get up, Charles, this is not country Y, and I don't mean to be harsh on you, don't blame yourself too much."

Relieved by the Queen's forgiveness, Charles stood up and walked to the Queen's side.

Beside Starling, Barbara was concentrating on the necklace on the queen's neck, while checking her watch from time to time.

"Maggison... what is Kaitou Kidd planning?"

"Damn it, I haven't been able to unlock the complete information of the notice letter, I'm so useless."

Barbara clenched her fists, regardless of whether Kaito Kidd was Maggison or not, she had to stop him.

In the dark that no one knew, Maggison was also watching the time.

59:55:[-].

56 seconds... 57 seconds... 58 seconds... 59 seconds...

Eleven o'clock!
The brilliance of victory bloomed in Maggison's eyes, and he quietly pressed the button in his hand.

"Crack!"

There was only a strange sound coming from above the statue, and a slender black shadow landed on the ground in front of Her Majesty the Queen, making a loud "boom" and stirring up countless dust.

Stimulated by this, the queen remained calm in the face of danger, stepped back calmly, and hid in a safe place.

Judging from where the black shadow landed, it was obviously carefully calculated and would not hit anyone present.

"Report, No. [-] machine found an unknown object falling from the statue! Did it cause any casualties?"

A helicopter reports to Gordon.

"No casualties, continue to observe the statue to see if there are other unknown objects!"

"Yes!"

The dust cleared away, and the true face of the black shadow was revealed to the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the central statue square.

That's... a sword!

A sword inserted upside down into a square stone on the ground!
Seeing this scene, the faces of Starling, Bob, Gordon, Tucker, Barbara and even Ingrid changed drastically.

"It turns out that this is the true explanation of the prophesied land!"

The sword in the stone that fell from the sky!

"Phantom Thief Kidd is on the move!"

Everyone realizes this.

"ladies~and~gentlemen!"

No one was seen, but the elegant tone came from all directions, it was Kaitou Kidd's voice.

"This guy, do you want to play the trick from last time?"

Thinking of the scene at Daggett's private exhibition hall that day, Gordon clenched his fists.

"Kid!"

"Kid!"

"Kid!"

However, unlike the imminent enemy on the police side, the Kidd fans in the outfield were extremely excited, took out the light sticks and signs that had been prepared, and cheered and screamed loudly.

I don't know, I thought some superstar was having a concert.

"No. [-] aircraft found anomalies, there are UFOs approaching from the west, it's Kaitou Kidd!"

The intercom rang again, this time it was the pilot of Helicopter Five.

Gordon looked into the western sky, and sure enough, he saw the white hang glider.

He took out a telescope, observed Kaitou Kidd carefully, and soon discovered the clue.

"Machine No. [-], that's a dummy, just shoot and destroy it!"

Maggison watched everything quietly, showing a tricky smile, and quietly put earplugs on himself.

Machine gun No. [-] shot at Kaitou Kidd's dummy with a machine gun, and the dummy exploded within less than a second.

However, at the moment when the dummy exploded, a loud and strange sound came from inside the dummy's body and spread to every corner of Robinson Park...
