Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"Believe me, Xinghuo, I want to see you too. I have been thinking about you all the time for the past two months."

Dick said affectionately to Xinghuo.

"If possible, I would like to fly to the Titan Tower to find you in the bat fighter right now...but——"

"The current situation in Gotham does not allow me to leave now."

Dick shook his head helplessly.

"Batman went on a secret mission with the Justice League, and has been out of touch for months now, and may not even be on Earth, and no one knows when they will return."

"In other words, Batgirl and I are the only ones who can protect Gotham during this period of time. You must know that Batgirl has just entered this industry. She has great potential, but her current experience is too little to deal with Brother. Tan those nasty super criminals."

"Besides, a new criminal who claims to be a strange thief recently appeared in Gotham. I always feel that there are many secrets hidden in him."

"Sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Gotham until Batman comes back."

After listening to Dick's words, Xinghuo lowered his head in disappointment.

"Well, Robin, I heard you were going on spring break and thought we'd see each other more..."

After a pause, Xinghuo suddenly raised his head and asked, "Maybe I can bring the Titans to Gotham to help? If the situation in Gotham is so bad, wouldn't it be better to have a few more people to help?"

"What? Bring the Titans to Gotham? Of course not!"

Hearing this, Dick's emotions immediately became agitated, "You don't understand Gotham, if you mess around here, it will only cause a huge disaster! Believe me, the Titans are not ready to face this city."

Xinghuo was taken aback by Dick's reaction, and Dick's face softened quickly after realizing this.

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, Starfire, but don't worry, I can handle anything here."

"I promise you, as soon as Batman comes back, I will definitely go to Titan Tower to see you as soon as possible."

Dick assured Starfire.

"After living on Earth for so long, I still can't understand your human thoughts."

Xinghuo sighed, distressed.

That's right, although Xinghuo's body shape is not much different from that of a human being, she is not from Earth.

Her real name is Corianta, and she comes from a planet named Tamaran in the Milky Way. She was once the little princess of the Tamaran people.

The reason why we say once is because the current Tamaran civilization has been destroyed, and only a small number of people are scattered throughout the galaxy. Xinghuo came to the earth when he was fleeing.

On the day she came to Earth, she happened to meet Dick leading the Teen Titans on patrol, and was rescued by Dick and others, and she became a member of the Teen Titans.

It was precisely because of that incident that Xinghuo and Dick formed an initial relationship, which gradually developed into a passionate relationship.

It was also Dick's longest relationship.

For Xinghuo, he cut off contact with almost all his ex-girlfriends.

Although the combination of Xinghuo, who is 1.93 meters high, and Dick, who is only 1.78 meters, may seem uncoordinated...

All in all, after hanging up the call, Dick stared in the direction of New York in a daze for a while. At this time, the Titan Tower was located on Manhattan Island in New York.

Dick didn't lie to Starfire, he really wanted to go back to Titan Tower as soon as possible, not just for Starfire alone, he preferred his time in Teen Titans to the never-ending battle with criminals in Gotham.

But Gotham is another responsibility for Dick, and he must stay at this moment.

"...I've delayed long enough, now it's time to talk to Rubeus Thorne."

Looking at the time, Dick straightened his face and re-entered Robin's state.

The night is still long...

A few days later, Gotham East, the mysterious cabin of the calculator.

Ogilvy is here for the second time.

The difference from before was that he didn't knock on the door this time, nor did he take out the Rubik's Cube. He just stood at the door, and the door of the room opened automatically.

As for why he came again, he was naturally here to pick up the goods.

The Stone of Doom was stored by Faust in the Calculator, hoping that the latter would sell it on his behalf. The Calculator himself is not in Gotham, and the Stone of Doom is naturally not in Gotham either.

So when he came for the first time, Ogilvy just negotiated the business and paid a deposit in advance, but he hadn't officially paid for the delivery.

"Is that the Stone of Doom in that box?"

Ogilvy walked into the room and saw a sealed box on the table where the monitor was placed.

The material of the box is very strange, like wood or stone, with a faint metallic luster, engraved with mysterious symbols that cannot be understood.

At first glance, there is a breath of black magic.

"That's right, this is the Stone of Doom that even Faust takes seriously."

The calculator still communicates remotely through the display, and I am not here.

I just don't know how he transported the box here.

"A warm reminder, if you don't want to die, don't open the box."

Calculator reminded.

"That box is a container used by Faust to suppress the magic power of the Stone of Doom. Whoever opens the box first and directly contacts the stone inside will suffer the bad luck of death."

Although he heard that the box had the effect of suppressing magic power, Ogilvy didn't dare to go up and pick up the box at first.

"I have received the final payment from the Penguin, and you can take the Stone of Doom away right now."

After finishing speaking, the calculator didn't care whether Ogilvy took the box away, and directly disconnected the server here, and the monitor automatically turned off.

Ogilvy looked at the box containing the Stone of Doom on the table, was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and walked over to pick up the box carefully.

Nothing happened.

Ogilvy breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left the calculator hut.

The next day, a piece of news once again occupied the headlines of major newspapers.

A few days ago, it was announced that the Hope Blue Diamond Exhibition would be cancelled, but now there is a new exhibition plan!

As we all know, the Hope Blue Diamond is a world-famous "diamond of doom". All owners who owned it died strangely until it was donated to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington.

So far, it has a history of nearly half a century.

Even though the so-called death-doom legends are mostly made up for hype, that doesn't stop it from becoming one of the most recognizable diamonds in the world.

Interestingly, there happened to be Kidd, a phantom thief who was obsessed with stealing gems, active in Gotham during this time.

I hope that Blue Diamond is so famous, and with the habit of Kaitou Kidd, he must be eyeing it.

I just don't know if in the name of Hope Blue Diamond's ominous name, can this strange thief be discouraged?

(I don’t know how many people ran away during the daily writing of these chapters, laughing and crying, mainly writing the case continuously is too tiring, if you don’t buffer it, the grapefruit will be squeezed out sooner or later, but it’s over now)
