Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 138 The Penguin Waiting to See Kidd's Joke

After a period of time, all the inspection work is basically completed.

First of all, Lucius and Gordon. They checked the bat light carefully for a long time, but they didn't find anything that seemed to be tampered with.

Then, the bat logo was removed and cut open with a high-frequency vibration molecular knife specially for cutting promethium alloy plates, and the ocean gem of Atlantis was indeed still inside.

After Bruce's post-appraisal, it was finally determined that the ocean gem was genuine.

It has to be said that the strength of promethium alloy is not low. Even with a tool that can cut from the molecular level, it still took a lot of time to cut the cover of the bat logo.

Later, they had to take out a new bat symbol container, put the ocean gems in it and seal it again. The work was cumbersome and troublesome, but it had to be done.

Speaking of the camera, what Lucius was worried about still happened.

The seven malfunctioning cameras were equipped with tiny timed electromagnetic detonation devices, and the impact range was very small, just enough to stop one camera from working.

When the countdown to the detonation of the device ended, these cameras entered a paralyzed state at the same time, and there was no picture of Kaitou Kidd after he started to transform into a bat lamp.

Although it is a pity, the fact is that they are probably missing important clues to expose Kaitou Kidd.

Gordon returned to GCPD with resentment, and he was going to make personnel adjustments for the official duel between Bruce and Kidd three days later.

Although Bruce never agreed to allow the police to protect the gems at close range, it can be foreseen that on the day Kaitou Kidd takes action, a large number of citizens may gather in the Knights Stadium.

After all, the situation of Kaito Kidd is different from that of some stars, and the situation of Gotham is even more different from other cities. When there are more people, the risk factor may rise linearly.

Therefore, Gordon entrusted the GCPD with the auditorium and outfield defense of the entire Cavaliers Stadium, and Bruce arranged the center of the football field where the bat light is located.

On the other hand, Bruce's mood was not as ups and downs as Gordon's. The lack of footage from seven cameras did lose a key clue, but it also allowed Bruce to get another clue.

After returning to the Batcave, Bruce began to sit in front of the bat computer and start working the night shift. He was thinking about countless possibilities in his mind and needed to verify them one by one.

Not long after, Dick in Robin's uniform walked into the Batcave pushing a bat motorcycle with a severely deformed front.

When he came back, he asked Bruce the first sentence: "I met Kaitou Kidd for the first time, how did it feel?"

"This is the third Batbike you've crashed this month."

Bruce didn't look back.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the most important thing you need is a motorcycle... Don't look at me like that, I didn't hurt anyone, I didn't hit anyone's car or public property, I had to do it to save people .”

Dick shrugged and said indifferently at first, but after Bruce looked back at him blankly, Dick immediately changed the topic and told the whole story of crashing the Batmobile.

He's done talking, and Bruce is done listening.

No accusations or compliments, not even a comment, Bruce just turned back and continued to look at the Batcomputer.

"It's still the same old way. I can't figure out what Bruce is thinking. Every time I thought he would praise me, he would scold me. Whenever I thought I was in trouble, he would instead Smile and tell me well done."

"But most of the time, he is still the same as he is now, and he will never know whether he thinks of me well or badly."

Dick thought helplessly in his heart, but he was basically immune to Bruce's "too lazy to talk to you" attitude.

He walked to Bruce with a relaxed smile on his face, and said with a playful smile: "I heard something on the way back, about the Cavaliers Stadium, it is said that the strange thief Kidd stole the entire bat light? "

"I stole it in front of you. I thought you would be so angry that you would rush up and punch the Kaitou Kidd a few times."

Bruce didn't say a word, just continued with his previous work, as if he couldn't hear what Dick had to say.

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go find Alfred for something to eat, I'm really hungry tonight."

Dick had a boring expression on his face, curled his lips, turned and walked upstairs, talking to himself as he walked.

"There are a few barbecue rolls in the restaurant, and Alfred left them for you."

Bruce's voice suddenly came from behind Dick, and he glanced back. The former didn't even move, as if the person who spoke just now was not Bruce.

"Understood, I will eat."

The corners of Dick's mouth curled up slightly, and he turned and continued walking.
-
The next day, the news about Kaito Kidd's rehearsal last night swept across the entire Gotham City.

Newspapers, TV news, online news, self-media, without exception, all made Kaito Kidd the headline today.

In fact, since last night, there have been all kinds of gossip flying all over the sky, but today it was replaced by an explosive information bombardment.

What is the way of teleportation, what is the miracle of turning the bat light into disappearance and back again, what is the gorgeous exit of disappearing, all major platforms have been maxed out overnight.

Among them, I don't know which reporter is still a paparazzi. He uploaded a video of Kaito Kidd on Youtube, and the number of views exceeded 200 million in a short period of time.

at the same time.

Diamond District, Iceberg Club.

Penguin read today's news with a half-smile on his face.

"Phantom Thief Kidd is going to be in trouble."

Said the Penguin.

"Boss, what do you mean..."

Ogilvy, who was Penguin's personal secretary, asked puzzledly.

The failure of the Stone of Doom plan last time made Penguin very dissatisfied with Ogilvy for a while.

Fearing that the strange thief Kidd would take the Stone of Doom to seek revenge from the Penguin, the Penguin had to go to the calculator himself and buy an amulet that could ward off bad luck.

It is worth mentioning that this amulet, like the stone of doom, was bought from the black magician Faust, and it was just enough to resist the curse of the stone of doom, and it cost more than 300 million US dollars.

As for whether there are any unknown commercial secrets, Penguin said that he does not want to discuss this issue in depth.

Fortunately, during this period of time, it was still calm, Kaitou Kidd did not come to him, and he didn't want to continue to fight with Kaitou Kidd.

That being said, Penguin grinned gloatingly after seeing Bruce Wayne declare war on Kaito Kidd, and the latter stealing the Bat-Lamp last night.

Facing Ogilvy's puzzled question, the Penguin just said lightly: "You don't understand what Bruce Wayne means to this city, and you don't understand what the Bat Light means to all criminals."

The corner of Penguin's mouth curled up into an obvious arc, "Phantom Thief Kidd dared to do something to the Bat Lamp. His good days will soon be over, because his actions are actively provoking that person."
