Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Dean lay on the bed, picked up the book whose title would make a normal person look sorry for a second glance, and read it with relish.

Within five minutes, Dean suddenly yawned and his eyes were sleepy.

In the next second, he closed the book and threw it aside, lay down and fell asleep, the speed was astounding.

Barbara has watched the same scene no less than ten times.

Many times, she wondered if Dean was reading, or was he just using it as a harmless sleeping pill?

Dean was looking through those religious books that no one read in the Gotham City Library. His real purpose was to find a better sleeping pill? Is it purely a coincidence that there is a Roman message on the teaser letter?

Every time she saw this scene, Barbara would have this unbelievable thought. It was so unimaginable that she didn't know how to talk to Dick.

If she could, she really didn't want to think in this direction, but judging by Dean's performance, it seems... really makes sense?

Although for a high school student, going to bed at just ten o'clock in the evening is a bit too early.

But Dean is clearly an exception.

During the days when Barbara monitored Dean, she found that Dean's rest time was different every day. The latest time was 11:59 pm, and the earliest time was even 9:30 pm.

Work and rest time is quite irregular.

What's more, no matter what time Dean went to bed the night before, he would wake up at the same time the next day, without oversleeping or waking up early.

Is this some kind of peculiar way of practicing magic?

Barbara couldn't understand it at all, and luckily she didn't have to.

Anyway, at midnight today, Kaito Kidd arrived as scheduled, and Dean was still sleeping on the bed, which was an absolute alibi.

As long as one of them disappears, Dean's suspicion will be greatly increased.

What she didn't know was that even though Dean was pictured sleeping, he wasn't.

At this moment, in Dean's bedroom.

Dean held the newly activated small monitoring system jammer in his hand, calmly got out of bed and changed his clothes.

Under the action of the jammer, the camera will loop the picture of Dean sleeping on the bed, and the abnormality cannot be detected with the existing monitoring technology on the earth.

After changing clothes, Dean moved out the ultra-realistic dummy prepared in advance and put it on the bed, making the illusion that he had been sleeping in the bedroom.

After finishing the arrangement, Dean left the bedroom, and waited until he walked out of the room before turning off the jammer and putting it away.

In the ten days before that, Dean used this method to go to the museum under surveillance and arrange many organs in advance.

"Once today's operation is over, I should not have a crisis of identity exposure for a long time."

Thinking so, Dean set off for the Natural History Museum.

Soon after.

Dean, dressed as ordinary people, came to the square of the museum.

It's very late now, as usual, the museum was closed a few hours ago, but today is special.

At the special request of Mrs. Chandler, the organizer of the exhibition, the museum is not allowed to be closed during the two days from March 10 to March 11, and must be open for 48 consecutive hours.

As for whether this is her own meaning or someone else's attitude, it is unknown.

It's a good thing that the museum is still open, but what's really outrageous is that there are still quite a few people gathered here at this time of night in Gotham.

The entire large square was full of people. From a rough look, there were at least two to three thousand people, not counting the number of visitors in the dozen or so exhibition halls.

"There are more and more audiences. This is just right. It didn't take me so much effort to make the arrangements in the first ten days."

Seeing so many people in the square, Dean showed a satisfied smile. Next, he will perform a large-scale magic trick in front of these audiences.

Rumble!

At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.

He raised his head and looked, only to see that the sky had already been covered with dark clouds at some point, and the thunder light was flickering in the clouds.

As soon as the thunder sounded, the people in the square immediately caused a commotion. Some people were secretly annoyed, while others were glad.

"It's really going to rain! The weather forecast turned out to be correct. Fortunately, I brought an umbrella before going out."

"Xie Te! There was no sign of rain the whole day before, but it actually rained in the middle of the night?"

"Hey! Dude, your umbrella is quite big, can you take it down?"

In addition to caring about whether they have an umbrella or not, many people are concerned about another thing.

"I heard that Phantom Thief Kidd will use the hang glider to move in the air. Now the weather must not be able to use hang glider, so will Phantom Thief Kidd come again?"

There is a small group of 20 or 30 young people in the square, each of them is holding a sign that reads "Kidd Kidd", most of them are women.

It looks like Kaitou Kidd's fans, and one of them is the one who worries that Kidd won't be able to use the hang glider.

"Kidd doesn't use the hang glider every time. I'm worried that his disguise mask will fall off if it gets wet. If he can't pretend to be seen by others, wouldn't that mean his identity is exposed? The GCPD will definitely arrest him."

"Ah? It's really dangerous to hear you say that. It would be better if Kidd didn't come. I don't want him to be arrested and sent to the Black Gate Prison."

"Which member of the Phantom Thief fan club would like to see Kidd arrested? But his notice letter has been sent out, if he doesn't come, it will be a violation of his notice, and Kidd's charm will be gone!"

"I want him to come, but I don't want him to come. It's so tangled."

Not far away, Dean eavesdropped on the conversation of these people with a look of surprise.

Although he had known about the existence of this group in the news for a long time, it was the first time he saw his fan group with his own eyes.

Dean originally thought that the Fan Club of Phantom Thief was at most communicating with each other online, but he didn't expect that they had developed to the point of organizing offline gatherings.

"It's nice to have someone worried, even though your worries never happened in the first place."

Although he really wanted to pretend to be his fan and mix in for fun, but Dean still had more important actions to do now.

He looked at the jungle pavilion guarded by many police forces, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"As I thought, everyone thought that Caesar's guidance was about the jungle pavilion. Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

Looking at the time, it was more than an hour before zero o'clock, which was enough for Dean to make the last arrangement.

He turned around and left without looking back.

The target is the book exhibition hall on the west side of the cultural relics exhibition hall, which corresponds to the jungle exhibition hall on the east side of the cultural relics exhibition hall.
