Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 94 The Peak Enjoyment of Free Fall

With a strong physique of nearly 1.9 meters, the muscles on the arms seem to be thicker than the thighs of ordinary people. The muscle lines of the mixed body are vividly displayed against the tight black battle suit. Just by looking at this figure, you can tell that this person is not easy to provoke.

"Bat... Bat... Batman!"

Seeing the burly figure appearing in the strong light, Curator Offee's expression changed drastically, and he stuttered and screamed, his tongue seemed to be tied.

"I... I didn't do anything bad! I'm a good citizen!"

As soon as the words were finished, the strong light on the opposite side was suddenly turned off, making Curator Offee's vision blurred for a moment.

"Tell me, where did you get this thing?"

Immediately afterwards, Batman's hoarse voice sounded from behind him.

The distance between the two was so close that Director Offee even faintly felt Batman blowing on the back of his neck.

Curator Offee trembled with fright, and turned around quickly, only to see Batman take out a photo from somewhere and put it in front of Director Offee.

The photo shows exactly the ice cube of the 'Hope Blue Diamond' sealed in the exhibition hall!

What Batman pointed at was not ice or diamonds, but the transparent box outside the diamonds.

That's right, it was the box that Director Offee claimed to take out to appease people after an employee was suspected to have died of the curse of bad luck.

The moment he saw the photo, Curator Offi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked tremblingly, "Why...why do you ask this?"

"Don't answer questions with questions!"

Batman's tone became a bit harsher, and the already hoarse and gloomy voice became even harsher.

"I just bought it at the grocery store." Curator Offee said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Are you sure?"

Batman asked coldly: "I've checked in the grocery stores around your home and near the exhibition hall, but I can't find the same style as your box at all."

He grabbed Curator Offi by the collar and threatened fiercely: "If you don't tell the truth again, I will break your hands and feet, and then throw you into the stinky ditch to be neighbors with the killer crocodile!"

At the same time, the huge right fist was tightly clenched, as if to hit Curator Offee.

"No no no! Please don't do that! I say! I say!"

Batman's reputation in Gotham was so fierce that Director Offee had no doubt that he would do what he said, so he admitted cowardly on the spot.

"That box was actually given to me by the Penguin Gang. If I don't do what they say, they will smash my exhibition hall!"

Penguin Gang?
Batman thought to himself, why did Penguin do such a thing?
"Next question."

While Batman was thinking in his heart, he continued to ask Director Offee.

"What happened to that diamond in the exhibition?"

"The 'Hope Blue Diamond' has been stored in the Smithsonian for decades and no one has died due to illusory bad luck. When it first came to Gotham, it killed an employee of the exhibition hall who had a close contact with it. There are so many in the world. Is it a coincidence?"

Batman stared at Curator Offi, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce the latter's heart.

"This... I really can't say this, if I say it, I will be killed..."

Curator Ofe showed embarrassment, his eyes struggling.

Seeing Curator Offee's begging, Batman let go of his collar.

Just when the former thought that Batman had finally softened his heart, suddenly a strong pulling sensation came from his right foot, instantly making Director Offee lose his focus.

Strangely, Curator Offi did not fall to the ground, but turned his whole body upside down, with his head on the ground and his feet in the sky.

In his line of sight, the ground is getting farther and farther away, and he is getting higher and higher.

It was as if a rope was tied to his feet and was constantly pulling him up.

This is true.

As the height continued to climb, curator Offi instinctively began to fear.

Ten seconds later, Curator Offi was suspended in the air tens of meters high, and the rope wrapped around his feet was fixed to the external railing on the roof of the building.

Batman stood on the top of the building, looked down at the hanging curator of Offi and asked, "Answer my question just now!"

He knelt down and grabbed the rope and shook it, which gave Director Offie a sense of precariousness in addition to the sense of weightlessness, which further deepened his sense of fear.

"If you don't speak again, I'll cut the rope and let you fall freely."

Batman said flatly.

"No! You can't do that! You never kill!"

Curator Offee panicked when he heard this, and quickly reminded Batman.

"I don't want to kill people, but if I accidentally slip my hand and untie the rope, it will only be bad luck for you."

Batman looked normal, "So, if you don't want me to slip, tell me what I want to know."

As soon as the words fell, Director Offee felt the rope shake more violently, as if it might break at any time.

"me……"

Curator Offee's heart began to waver.

Seeing this, Batman untied the rope on the railing, then let go of his hands, allowing Director Offi to fall to the ground.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Curator Offee let out a terrified scream.

Under the weight of an adult, the rope was quickly pulled down. Fortunately, the rope reserved by Batman was very long and could not be used up in a short time.

There was only a short time to let go of the rope, and after about two or three seconds Batman reached out and grabbed the rope, re-fixing it to the railing.

At this time, curator Offi was completely frightened, his face was pale, and his head was sweating profusely.

Before Batman could open his mouth to question, he opened his mouth consciously, pouring out all the inside information he knew.

"Before the exhibition started, a dozen gangsters from the Penguin Gang came to me and gave me a strange box with a stone similar in appearance to the 'Hope Blue Diamond' sealed inside. They coerced me to use the stone The stone replaced the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the showroom! And warned me not to open the box."

"I don't know what that stone is, it can't be a diamond anyway, or any gemstone I know, but I'm sure it's a real ominous thing! A veritable stone of doom! That employee is He died because he touched that stone, because he opened the box!"

"I know it sounds ridiculous, but I swear it's true, it must be in a box to seal the evil power of that stone!"

Curator Offee finished everything in one breath, and then begged.

"Batman! That's all I know. They didn't tell me any more."

"Did they just tell you to replace the real diamond and nothing else?"

Batman asked suspiciously.

"Exactly!"

Curator Offi said categorically.

"Where did the real 'Hope Diamond' go?"

Batman continued.

"I put it in..."
