Chapter 208 Kaitou Kidd’s Elevator Shock (2 in 1)

Chapter 208 Phantom Thief Kidd’s Elevator Shock ([-]-in-[-])

"Why are there mutant bats in Wayne Tower?"

Kaitou Kidd looked at Lucius and asked.

"I remember that everyone here should have evacuated. It is impossible for mutant bats to come in."

"Initially, I had the same idea as you, Kaitou Kidd."

Lucius answered.

"About half an hour ago, I received a notification from Batman. He asked me to wait for your arrival in Wayne Tower. At that time, we all thought that the building would be safe, but we were wrong."

At this point, Lucius sighed and continued: "It is true that all Wayne Group employees have evacuated, but this building is not empty!"

"A few hours ago, when the Masked Club besieged Wayne Tower, they sent a small team into the building to search for Bruce's whereabouts. However, it wasn't long before the Masked Club moved to Robinson Park."

Kaitou Kidd's expression changed.

"It seems that you have already thought of it. Yes, when the Mask Club left, they did not take all the members with them. There were still 30 people left in Wayne Tower."

"Tsk, Mask Club, these people are really haunted."

Kaito Kidd clicked his tongue and said in wonder.

"At that time, everyone was relieved that the Mask Club had retreated. No one had the heart to count their numbers, so we subconsciously thought that all of them had left."

As a result, when Lucius hurried back to Wayne Tower, he was unprepared and encountered a mutant bat attack.

Fortunately, he took the main entrance route and took the elevator directly to the floor with the monitoring room. He happened to encounter a mutant bat not far from the monitoring room, giving Kaitou Kid a chance to save his life.

Otherwise, if Lucius had been attacked anywhere other than the control room, he would probably be helpless by now.

At that time, even if Kaito Kidd finds Lucius's location through the monitoring room, he will not be able to save him, because the gap between "recovery" and "resurrection" is like a chasm.

Especially in the system mall, the prices of resurrection props are frighteningly high. Not to mention that Kaitou Kidd doesn't have so many exclamation points. Even if he did, he couldn't really spend that much to revive Lucius.

After all, they are just two strangers who have nothing in common.

Because Lucius was too seriously injured, he lost consciousness after barely hiding in the control room and had no time to send a signal to Batman.

"In other words, there are at least twenty mutant human bats lurking in this building at this moment..."

Kaitou Kidd walked into the monitoring room and looked at the monitoring screen above.

"Nearly half of the surveillance images are dark, and only eight mutant bats can be seen in the surveillance footage."

Except for the two mutant human bats that were defeated by Kaitou Kidd at the beginning and the one that was electrocuted at the door of the control room, there are at least nine more mutant human bats whose locations are unknown.

"Mr. Fox, do you know where the drug amplification diffusion device is hidden in Wayne Tower?"

After writing down the known location of the mutant man-bat, Kaito Kidd turned to Lucius and asked.

"You are talking about the Chocorat device. It is hidden in the laboratory numbered A40 on the fifth floor of No. 4869."

Lucius replied, and then he took out an ID card from his clothes and handed it to Kaitou Kidd.

"Only by using my card can I have the permission to enter there. My current physical condition cannot go with you, but I can contact you in the control room, and I will instruct you how to operate the Chocolat device. "

Kaitou Kidd nodded, put the ID card away, and then turned around and left.

Just after taking a few steps, Lucius's voice sounded again.

"Kaitou Kidd...thank you for saving my life. Robin is right. You are a good person at heart."

Kaitou Kidd paused and continued walking outside the control room without looking back.

Lucius watched Kaitou Kidd walk out the door, praying in his heart that the latter could arrive successfully. At this moment, the hopes of countless people in Gotham were in the hands of Kaitou Kidd.

He didn't just stay there stupidly. As the door closed, Lucius dragged his seriously injured body and limped to the monitoring desk to sit down. At the same time, he sent a message to Batman explaining what had just happened. everything of.
-
At the same time, countless media workers in Gotham City watching the live broadcast also silently prayed for Kaitou Kidd in their hearts and wished him smooth operations.

Some people are condemning the Mask Club and the Black Mask who formed the club.

"I really can't believe that there are so many bat monsters in the Wayne Tower that should be empty. The Masked Club really doesn't do anything about personnel. Black Mask is really a disgusting criminal. What happened in Gotham today He is to blame for all bad things!”

Some people also changed their view of Kaito Kidd because of his actions in saving Lucius's life.

"Originally I thought that Kaitou Kidd was just a selfish and vain thief with no interest in him. Even if he said he wanted to steal the virus, I never believed it. But now I can confirm that I used to be interested in Kaitou Kidd." The misunderstanding is too big."

Others were surprised by Kaitou Kidd's method of dealing with mutant bats.

"Those infected with the virus can locate sound waves like bats. Through the reflection of ultrasonic waves, they can accurately obtain the position and shape of everything around them. This should have been their absolute advantage, but in the end, Kaitou Kidd used it to set up an ambush. Kaitou Kid’s fighting intelligence is not weak at all.”

No matter how different people's concerns are, they all have the same wish at this time without exception.

That's why Kaitou Kidd is on his way to find the device. Don't let anything happen again. This incident really needs to end.

On the other side, Batman finally got a letter from Lucius, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. He did not mistakenly believe in Kaitou Kidd.

As long as he persists for a while, Kaitou Kidd can find the Chocolat device, and the man-bat virus crisis sweeping Gotham can be successfully resolved.

What we have to do next is to find out the mastermind behind this incident!
-
In Wayne Tower, following Lucius's guidance, Kidd took the elevator closest to the A4869 laboratory.

Now that he had temporarily borrowed Lucius's ID card, he had the highest authority inside Wayne Tower except Bruce Wayne himself.

Except for some top-secret locations that require iris or palm authentication, all other facilities are accessible to Kaitou Kidd.

The monitoring room is on the 88th floor, and it takes about ten seconds to get down to the 45th floor.

During this time, Kaito Kidd recalled the shortest route Lucius told him.

"When the elevator door opens, there is a T-shaped fork in front of you. Enter the corridor on the left and walk about 35 meters, turn right, and then enter the third fork. The seventh laboratory on the right is the destination..."

"This route is not shown on the surveillance screen. It is not sure if there are mutant bats blocking the way. This is also the most dangerous place."

Seeing the floors of the elevator jumping down little by little, Kaito Kidd was on alert and took out a card gun and a stun device. If a mutant bat happened to block the elevator door later, he could attack first.

"I hope I don't carry it like this."

Just this moment!

Ding!
A crisp bell rang, and the elevator door slowly opened.

Kaitou Kidd raised the card gun and stun device in a flash, with high concentration.

Fortunately, the expected mutant human bats were not outside. It was not known whether they had gone to wander elsewhere, or whether they didn't know what it meant to wait and see.

Without any time to waste, Kaito Kidd quickly checked the situation on both sides and then moved forward along the established route.In order to prevent the mutant man-bat with keen hearing from detecting the sound of running, Phantom Thief Kidd controlled his steps very carefully, accelerating without making any sound.

As for the elevator bell just now, it rang before the door opened. The elevator itself has a very strong sound insulation effect, so the possibility of hearing it from the corridor outside is not very high.

Within a few minutes, Kaitou Kidd came to the door of the A4869 laboratory.

Fortunately, there were no mutant bats blocking the way along the way. Think about it, the Wayne Building is more than 80 stories high and covers a large area.

There are only twenty or thirty mutant human bats scattered throughout Wayne Tower. The chance of encountering one is actually very low. Kaitou Kidd bumping into two as soon as he enters is actually a lottery.

Kaitou Kidd had a safe journey, and the audience watching the live broadcast felt even more fortunate. God was indeed protecting Gotham.

"Kid, can you hear me?"

Just when Kaitou Kidd used Lucius's ID card to open the laboratory, a voice came from nowhere.

"Mr. Fox?"

Kaitou Kidd recognized the owner of the voice.

"I'm talking to you now in the control room using the broadcasting equipment. Have you arrived at the laboratory?"

Since the surveillance camera here has been damaged, Lucius cannot see the situation in the laboratory, so he asked this question.

"You're here just in time, Mr. Fox. I was just going to ask you what the Chocorat device looks like and where it is placed?"

Kaitou Kidd had already walked into the laboratory at this time, looking at the various strange equipment placed inside, and asked Lucius.

This laboratory is not big, or even very small, with an area of ​​only twenty square meters. It is more of a showroom for experimental equipment than a laboratory.

What is strange is that there is no equipment here that seems to be able to amplify a tube of medicine to spread throughout the city.

The most conspicuous piece of equipment is at the very back of the laboratory, a large object like a console.

"The main body of the Chocolat device is not in the A4869 laboratory, where the console of the Chocolat device is located."

At this time, Lucius gave the answer.

"The Chocolat Device is actually hidden in the top floor of Wayne Tower, but it can only be raised using the console."

"I see, then now tell me how to operate this console."

Kaitou Kid asked non-stop.

"Of course, this is why I contacted you..."

Some time later, Kaitou Kidd completed his final operations on the console.

I saw a mechanical arm suddenly stretched out from the console, and above the mechanical arm was a receiver that could just fit into the syringe.

"Put in the antidote to the man-bat virus, and the Chocolat device will automatically start to copy the ingredients of the antidote, then reproduce the same antidote in large quantities, and finally spread it through the air through the transmitter extending from the rooftop. To all of Gotham."

Lucius explained.

"learn."

After hearing this, Kaitou Kidd pretended to take it out of his pocket, exchanged it for the Inverse Bat reagent and embedded it into the receiver.

Then the robotic arm carried the reagent and retracted into the console, and the Chocolat device operated by itself without any additional operations.

"In this way, the matter is over."

After doing all this, Kaitou Kidd breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, in another ten minutes or so, the Chocolat device will complete copying the potion, and the matter will be over."

In the monitoring room, Lucius also relaxed.

"The rest is just a matter of time."

Kaitou Kidd nodded and left the laboratory.

"I have been mentally tense during this period. Although my physical strength has not been greatly exhausted, I still feel a little tired."

While thinking about it, he rubbed his neck and returned to the elevator.

Of course, he was not going back to find Lucius, but went directly to the rooftop and left.

Ding!
The bell rang and the elevator started and began to climb upwards.

However, just when the elevator had just ascended less than two floors, a crashing sound suddenly sounded from above the elevator.

The force of the impact was so strong that the entire elevator shook.

Then there was another tearing sound, as if some sharp object was scraping against the iron sheet on the top of the elevator.

Kaito Kidd secretly knows that something is not right. The person on the elevator is definitely a mutant bat.

But why?
The elevator bell should not be heard outside...

Suddenly, Kaitou Kidd realized something that he had ignored.

The overall structure of the elevator is indeed airtight, and it is difficult for the sound inside to spread to the corridor outside the elevator room.

But at the same time, just because the elevator space is too tight, ventilation design is particularly important, and the elevator vents in Wayne Tower are designed at the top.

With the flow of wind, sounds can naturally spread out.

In the elevator shaft, you can hear the bell of the elevator and even the sound of the elevator operating!
There was definitely a mutant bat hiding in the elevator shaft before!
Moreover, there were no surveillance cameras in the elevator shaft, so Lucius could not remind Kaitou Kidd.

when!
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise from the top of the elevator, and then an arm with sharp claws and black fur appeared in front of Kaitou Kidd.

The steel skin on the top of the elevator was actually pierced by a punch from the mutant bat!
Kaitou Kidd has quick eyesight and quick hands. The moment he saw his claws stretched out, he had already launched a counterattack.

He took out the stun device, turned it on to maximum voltage, and then swung it upwards.

Zizizizizi!
The strong high-voltage electricity suddenly electrocuted the mutant human bat's arms until they were blackened, and its arms began to twitch uncontrollably.

Not only that, but its body began to move wildly, causing the elevator to shake.

Soon, the mutant bat stopped moving.

Just when Kaitou Kidd thought the danger had been lifted, a sudden change occurred!
