Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"You're Dean Suston, right? I've heard of you a long time ago, the most outstanding young genius magician in Gotham."

Bullock looked at Dean in front of him and said.

"Many people say that although you are young, your proficiency in magic techniques is higher than that of many seasoned magicians. You are really young and promising."

"It's just a false name, just a false name."

Dean smiled modestly.

"I heard from Barbara before that you can see through the magic-related techniques that Phantom Thief Kidd used when stealing?"

Brock asked curiously.

"I will do my best to try to see through his methods, but if I want to guarantee that I can see through it 100%, this may be a bit difficult."

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, kid."

As he was speaking, Bullock suddenly reached out his hand, squeezed Dean's cheek and rubbed it.

He leaned over and whispered: "Since Kaito Kidd's debut until now, no one has ever been able to see through what tricks he used in the first time. Even if you don't see it, it's normal, don't force yourself to do it."

Dean glanced at Brock in surprise, you're so nice.

Behind Dean, Dick stared intently at Brock's movement of pinching Dean's face, his whole body tensed up, like a wounded arrow that could be shot instantly with just one chance.

"Um?"

However, Bullock's inspection was over quickly, and Dean was fine and hadn't undergone any disguises.

When Dean successfully entered the exhibition hall and it was Dick's turn to be inspected, he was still confused.

"What's the situation? Am I overthinking it? But...or Dean? But that's impossible!"

Slightly glanced back at the distorted Dick, Dean showed a smirk of complacency.

"Dick, Dick, the game I set up has begun, can you see through it?"

After a while, Dick, who passed the inspection, joined Dean with a strange expression on his face.

He didn't speak, just looked at Dean with a tangled expression.

Dean pretended not to notice, looked around the exhibition hall and said: "Fortunately, we came early, the place is not full yet, if it's more than ten minutes at night, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to get in."

"Yes, you are right."

Dick fainted.

"Huh? What's your expression? Why do you look like a fool? I told you to stop playing with so many girls."

Seeing this, Dean immediately looked Dick up and down, and sighed.

"Hey! You are stupid! Who else is always playing with multiple girls? If you are irresponsible, don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Dick exclaimed angrily.

"I'll take a suitable position first, so that I can observe the panorama of Kaitou Kidd's attack."

Dean quickly changed the topic and walked towards the booth near the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth.

Dick cheered up and followed Dean with solemn eyes, recalling every bit of getting along with Dean today in his mind.

"Dean is in a very strange state today. He first praised Kidd the Phantom Thief, and then he was pleasantly surprised by Barbara's absence. He even called me Richard!"

"It doesn't seem like Dean's habit to interrupt while Gordon is talking to Biska... All things considered, I suspect that Dean might not be Dean!"

Dick thought silently in his heart.

"But Brock has already checked his face, and he doesn't look like he's wearing a disguise mask, which means that he is the real Dean, but why is he so abnormal today?"

"And why did Dean show a nervous expression for a moment when he saw that he needed to pinch his face for inspection before he could progress to the hall? What was he worried about?"

For some reason, Dick felt more and more that the good friend in front of him felt both familiar and strange.

Dick's doubts are getting heavier and heavier, while Dean is completely unaware of it, scanning everyone in the exhibition hall vigilantly.

It seems that he has fully entered the state of arresting Kaitou Kidd, and put all his attention on finding the suspicious person.

For the moment at least, Dean was acting more like a cop or a detective than Dick.

Not long after, Gordon, Biska, and Director Offie all entered the exhibition hall and gathered near the booth of "Hope Blue Diamond". Dozens of GCPD guards were arranged inside and outside, some in police uniforms Playing Kaitou Kidd was caught off guard.

Time passed little by little, the sun gradually sank below the horizon, and night fell.

Today's weather is exceptionally good, and Gotham's night sky is rare and clear.

A half-round moon hangs in the sky, just visible through the window on the east side of the exhibition hall.

"It's already 7:30 in the evening, and there's only half an hour left before closing, why hasn't Kaitou Kidd shown up yet?"

Some viewers waited impatiently and asked impatiently.

"He shouldn't wait until after the museum is closed to show up? We won't be able to see Kaitou Kidd's performance at that time."

"Who knows? Maybe Kaitou Kidd didn't dare to come because there are too many people here!"

"It's started again, keep slandering us Kidd, I don't want to talk to you at all, because I will definitely be slapped in the face in the end."

Not far from the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth, Dick put half of his mind on the vigilance of everyone around him, while the other half of his mind was on Dean next to him.

"Ah Choo! What is it?"

At this moment, a certain audience member in the crowd couldn't help but sneezed.

The spectator rubbed his nose and suddenly found a gray feather on his hand.

Just as he was wondering why there were feathers in the exhibition hall, another feather appeared in front of him, floating in mid-air at eye level.

In the next second, more and more gray feathers appeared out of thin air, falling on every corner of the exhibition hall, as if they were endless.

"Where did these feathers come from? Damn! There are so many of them, and the sight is too obstructed."

Dick clenched his fists for an instant, thinking through gritted teeth.

Most of the eyes are covered by countless feathers, although it is not impossible to see everything, but the degree of visual discomfort is still above it.

"who!"

Suddenly, Dick vaguely saw a black shadow rushing towards the booth of 'Hope Blue Diamond', and immediately yelled to stop it.

boom!

There was a bang, and the shadow was instantly enveloped in a cloud of smoke.

When the smoke dissipated, the black shadow had completely disappeared.

At the same time, the countless flying feathers all fell to the ground.

The whole process took less than a minute, which was about thirty seconds.

Dick subconsciously searched for Dean, and he was relieved when he saw that the latter remained in his original position obediently.

"ah!"

A scream suddenly sounded, and Biska pointed to the booth of "Hope Blue Diamond" in horror and exclaimed, "'Hope Blue Diamond' is gone!"

The faces of everyone around changed, and they turned their heads to look, and sure enough, the 'Blue Diamond of Hope' inside the glass cover had disappeared.

And only the diamonds are missing, and the transparent box used to store the diamonds is still inside the glass cover!

Could it be that in the short 30 seconds just now, Kaito Kidd stole the diamond through two layers of containers?

"Look! Phantom Thief Kidd is outside! He has a diamond in his hand!"

At this time, another exclamation sounded from the window, and everyone rushed to follow the sound.

All I saw was a white figure outside the window spreading its hang glider and flying across the sky, and the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in its hand looked radiant and extremely beautiful under the moonlight.
