Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

As more and more people came to Dean's side, the movement became louder and louder.

Students from other places also attracted attention. After inquiring curiously, they found that it was Dean Suston, one of the most famous figures on campus, performing magic tricks.

It's worth it!

Don't look at the students who are in the same school as Dean, the magic performed by Dean himself is not something they can watch if they want to.

After all, Dean's reputation is widely spread among young people, and the number of people who want to see his unique skills cannot be counted. Sooner or later, Dean will be exhausted to death.

And in the past two years, Dean tried his best to keep a low profile, so as to gradually fade out of people's sight.

The only time Dean showed his hand was when there was a big school event, like today.

At first, most of the students thought that Dean would officially perform on the big stage in the middle of the playground, but he didn't expect him to play... street magic outside the venue?

Then what else is there to say, run over there quickly, if you go late, you will definitely not be able to squeeze in the front row and miss the best audience seats, wouldn't that be a blood loss.

Even many students who were dancing on the field and watching the performance on the side of the stage decisively left their places and ran to watch Dean's magic show.

Most of them are girls.

As a result, the audience under the stage suddenly decreased by more than half, which made Ai Kun, who was singing and dancing on the stage at this time, bewildered.

"Cause I got a crush on you who you..."

Listening to the accompaniment playing on the stereo, Ai Kun inexplicably lost the interest to continue singing.

On Dean's side, the audience suddenly increased by tens or hundreds of times, and surrounded Dean three times to the left and three times to the right.

Lucy and the other four girls had never experienced the feeling of being surrounded by so many people, and there was a faint expression of tension and excitement on their faces.

Dean's face remained unaffected as usual.

But for some reason, Dick, who was still next to them, was no longer visible.

I don't know whether he left on his own initiative or was swallowed by the crowd.

There are still pigeons flying out of the top hat that Lucy is holding, but the interval between the two pigeons flying back and forth is obviously longer, and it seems that no more pigeons will fly out after a while.

Pigeons flew to Dean's hands one after another, seemingly endlessly, until Dean's arms and shoulders were full of pigeons.

"How can this be!"

Lucy looked at the pigeons on Dean's arms in disbelief, and then at the top hat she was holding in her hands. There wasn't even a single pigeon feather inside.

How do you fit so many pigeons in such a small space?

No, she checked ahead of time that there was nothing in the hat, and Dean hadn't even touched the hat since Lucy took it.

Although it sounds like a fairy tale, she really felt that the pigeons were conjured out of thin air at this time.

"Is this really magic?"

There were infinite ripples in Lucy's eyes, and her heart was pounding.

Among the people present, absolutely no one was more shocked than her, because the top hat of dozens of pigeons flying out of the air was held in her hand, and she witnessed what happened just now at the closest distance.

Especially since she knows very well that she is not Toh.

Lucy couldn't think of any explanation for Dean's magic, except magic.

"It's incredible, isn't it?"

Dean opened his outstretched hands and smiled towards Lucy.

"The reason why you think you can't believe what you see is because you look too close."

As he spoke, Dean swung his open hands violently, and the group of pigeons on his arms was frightened for a moment, flying around, covering Dean's figure unconsciously.

After the pigeons scattered and flew away, there was no sign of Dean in the field.

Lucy turned her head left and right in surprise, trying to find Dean again.

"The closer you look, the less you see."

At this moment, Dean's voice sounded from behind Lucy.

Looking back, it turned out that Dean ran behind her at some point.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Miss Lucy, are you satisfied with my performance just now?"

Dean bowed slightly and saluted. At the same time, he raised Lucy's right hand and kissed it lightly on the back of his hand. Then he withdrew his hand and straightened up.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Lucy, I haven't returned the things I borrowed from you just now."

Dean suddenly seemed to remember something, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and then plucked it near Lucy's ear.

A bright red rose appeared in Dean's hand immediately.

"Ah! This rose, it is still there!"

Lucy covered her mouth lightly with her hands, her eyes were full of surprises, the magic trick just now was so amazing that she had no time to care about it.

If Dean hadn't said it, she might have simply forgotten about the rose.

After returning the rose to Lucy, Dean turned back to the center, looked around at the countless students gathered around and said.

"Students, you only saw the last part of the magic show just now, which is really unfair to you."

"But I also know that you all came here to watch the magic show, so I decided to show the magic that I planned to perform on the big stage here for everyone to see!"

Dean yelled a little louder, so that those behind him could hear.

Hearing what Dean said, there was bursts of cheers all around.

"Great! Dean, you are the second best magician in the world! I'm sorry, but the first is Kaitou Kidd!"

"Don't praise me so highly. There are many, many better magicians in the world than me. I also hope that you can see more and more powerful magicians perform."

Dean waved his hand and said calmly.

"Now, let's focus on the next magic trick, don't blink..."

——

Meanwhile, East End.

This is the most chaotic area with the largest number of gangs in Gotham. It is said that everyone who lives here has blood on their hands.

Kidnapping, extortion, disappearance, robbery... As long as you come to the East District, no matter which street you enter from, you will definitely see at least one crime at first sight.

However, when Ogilvy stepped into the Eastern District alone, no one dared to approach him, and even took the initiative to look away when they saw him.

Everyone knows that Ogilvy is currently the most valued subordinate of the Penguin, and anyone who dares to touch him will hit the Penguin in the face.

Ogilvy walked into an alley expressionlessly, and at the end was a small house of only about ten square meters.

I hate the door lock of the house, but there is no keyhole or combination lock, and there is no way to open the door from the outside.

Not even a doorbell.

Fortunately, Ogilvy seemed to have expected this, so he knocked on the door calmly and asked.

"Is anyone there? I'm looking for a calculator."

(Ahem, I chatted a little bit in the book friend group just now, and I delayed the update time a little bit. I didn’t get stuck. Grapefruit deserves death.)
