Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Was Lucas' memory erased by Da... no, Archipald?

Tim glanced at Lucas, who was relaxing and chatting with Tiny Tim and Hope who came later as if nothing had happened.

It seems that Archipal has trapped Lucas in his territory for protection, which is exactly the same as the way he protects Ace (Bat’s dog) at home. Coupled with Lucas’s face, Tim reasonably speculates that Lu Cass was a member of their family, and his age was not what it seemed.

Tim remembered Raven's words clearly. Now it's okay. He's not from this universe. By the way, it's also true that the ages of his body and soul don't match.

Looking at it this way, Raven is indeed quite powerful. He can actually see through Lucas' origins with just one glance.

Tim became intensely interested in wooing Raven.

Speaking of Raven... Tim remembered another thing. At that time, Raven reminded him that there would be an army of demons attacking the earth!

"By the way Lucas, how is Raven?" he asked quickly.

"Raven..." Lucas hesitated, "disappeared."

"Disappeared?!" Tim opened his eyes wide and asked quickly: "How did it disappear? Why did it disappear?"

"……demon."

"demon?"

After Lucas got Raven out of control and was attacked by Lionel, she told Tim in a simple and clear way that she teleported them all to the gap.

"Such a thing actually happened..." Tim frowned, "Then what happens after that, have you guys gone back to see it?"

"She was no longer there and there were huge footprints left at the scene," Lucas said.

After going round and round, they returned to the original starting point.

"It's almost time to return to reality. We have been here for a long time." Hope reminded, "I'm afraid many days have passed in reality."

"What? Wait...is the flow of time here different from that in reality?" Tim suddenly reacted, "How much time has passed in reality now?"

"Um...it's been about a week or so."

More than a week!

Tim's vision suddenly went dark. The electronic equipment on his body had been out of service for a week, so it was completely predictable what kind of chaos the Batcave would be in.

"By the way, try not to reveal anything about this place to real people." Hope said.

"...I think so too." Tim sighed. Everything in the idealistic world is difficult to explain, especially in reality, people's thoughts will greatly affect the development of the inner world.

But in this case, I have to explain to Bruce why he has been inexplicably out of contact for a week.

...This is really a problem that makes people bald. Even if it is changed, they have to make up a reason to convince the big people who are as smart as a hornet's nest.

"Tell them about the demon army," Lucas said. "When it comes to real-life matters, you still have to inform the Justice League."

"Well... let me think about how to fool..."

At the same time, Dick, wearing a police uniform, was investigating along Tim's traces with a slight frown.

The family did not enter the house. He was also standing in front of the alley. He had investigated this place many times, but just like Tim before, all the clues disappeared here, just like those mutilated corpse cases. The same as the victims.

It was hard for Dick not to suspect that Tim's disappearance had nothing to do with this matter. Otherwise, why would Tim be the last person to disappear?

only……

He hammered the wall with a sullen face, but he couldn't find any clues about the superpower who committed the crime!

Of course it's a superpower, and it's about space. The experienced vigilantes quickly thought of this. Otherwise, how could they make the victims disappear without leaving a trace?

Villains with space capabilities have always been the most difficult to deal with. They are almost impossible to guard against. Tim has disappeared for so long, will it be possible...

"Snapped"

Dick clapped his hands on his face and said to himself: "Don't be pessimistic Dick! Tibao must still be alive! He must still be waiting for you to save him somewhere in the corner! How can you give up on him first!"

He cheered up again just like every time before, but there was another layer of sadness in his soft blue eyes that made countless girls love and pity him.

"Click"

Lucas crushed the various bugs and locators that Tim taught him. Judging from the number, Tim did not seem to have much love from the Bat family, but they would more or less find that their companions had placed something on them. I deliberately kept a few gadgets so as not to worry my family.

Asking Lucas to destroy these valuable little things would not make Tim feel a little distressed. These are consumables in the first place. What gives him a headache is that he will soon face the blame of his whole family.

He drooped his face and said self-defeatingly: "Can't you just treat me as dead..."

"Is it so serious?!" Hope stared blankly at Tim, who seemed to have a ghost coming out of the corner of his mouth.

"Don't do this, your family will be worried," Lucas said.

Tim raised his head, then with difficulty moved away from the face inch by inch.

It's our family, Lucas...

He didn't expect that the idea that he had been thinking about in his mind before, hoping that they could be a family, would actually come true in this form, but... Archipal's attitude and Lucas' state...

I felt the pity conveyed from the contract...

Lucas:?

"By the way, why weren't you afraid of kryptonite at that time?" Tim suddenly remembered something.

The shadow saw through the disguise on Lucas' face and transformed countless kryptonite weapons in his inner world, but these kryptonite had no effect on Lucas.

"Ah, because you ignored a big premise." Lucas smiled slightly, "I already have kryptonite in my body."

"...Huh?" Tim looked confused at first, but then he quickly understood what Lucas said, "You...you have kryptonite in your body? No way?"

As strong as Superman becomes frail and easy to push down when facing Kryptonite, Lucas also has the blood of Superman, how could he be exempted from this racial trait?

Wait, when he was in Gotham, Lucas really had no ability to protect himself...

However, this doesn't make sense. During the previous war, there was a lethal amount of kryptonite, so there was no need to hold back his shadow.

"Oh! I understand!" Hope suddenly realized, "This is a bug! Tim doesn't know that Lucas has kryptonite in his body, so his abilities have no effect, but when he uses kryptonite to deal with Luka At this time, he also thought that kryptonite would cause Lucas to be weak, but Lucas already had kryptonite in his body, so how could he feel weak? This contradicted the previous setting, so it would not have any effect. .”

"That's it." Lucas nodded.

"Shadow, shadow, that's my shadow." Tim muttered in a low voice.

"I know, I won't blame you." Lucas said.

After crushing the last prop into pieces, he looked at Tim, "Are you ready?"

Tim nodded, then looked at Lucas in confusion as he reached out his hand to him.

"This is...fxxk!"

The moment he came to reality, Tim suddenly felt as if his body was being pulled away from the bones, and his whole body fell forward.

Fortunately, Lucas had already extended his hands to him in advance, so he didn't fall to the ground in embarrassment.

"bang"

"...Lucas, you have chest muscles." Tim said muffledly as he buried himself in Lucas's chest.

Although not as good as Jason, he has great potential.

In fact, Lucas also felt weak for a while, and couldn't help but lean back, and then there was a scene where Tim fell straight into his arms.

"Isn't it strange? Lucas has become stronger too." Hope said proudly, stopping on Lucas' shoulder.

Lucas helped Tim up and looked around, "Here is..."

"Let me see..." A faint halo appeared on Tim's face, and the Mirror of Reality appeared above his right eye, "We are..."

Lucas' hand holding him suddenly became stronger, which made Tim look at him strangely, "What's wrong?"

Lucas stared at Tim's special persona, "Why can you use a persona in reality?"

Tim was stunned, "Is this... weird?"

"No..." Lucas was speechless for a while. If he really wanted to say it, he could actually use it in reality, but Archipald had said before that such behavior would gradually bring reality and the fantasy world closer.

"Of course it's strange! Even if you are an auxiliary persona, it must be weird to be able to use the persona as you like!" Hope said in disbelief.

"But... I just thought about it, and it appeared." Tim blinked innocently, "Ah, it's also connected to the brother eyes..."

He suddenly stopped talking and looked strange, "Wait a minute, the thing that guy conjured was based on Brother Eyes, right?!"

"Brother eyes?"

"...Don't worry about this." The little red bird was a little autistic.

"Don't be depressed first, tell us where we are here first." Hope landed on Tim's head.

"We're at the docks of Metropolis," Tim said dully.

Metropolitan pier? Wouldn’t it be possible to see Gotham?

Lucas looked to the edge of the sea and sky, and the outline of the city was looming. He seemed to hear some kind of call, cheering him to return...

"Lucas!"

Hope got the whole bird in Lucas' face.

"Don't be in a daze! Let Peter and the others know that we are back!"

"I know." Lucas lifted Hope and got him off his face.

[Lucas: I'm back.

Parker:! ! !

Stacey: Great!

Macready: You're finally back!

Osborne: Finally there is good news...

Lucas: Right.

Lucas: We have a new member, Tim.

Osborne: Huh?

Osborne: Timothy also has a persona?

Parker: What an unexpected surprise!

Stacey: Haha, having more companions is a good thing.

McCready: Indeed, what a surprise...]

Tim put his chin directly on Lucas' shoulder and stared at the screen openly.

"They accepted it pretty quickly."

"Because you really helped us a lot." Lucas said.

Whether it is the clue to Wilson Hall or the key to conquering Osborne Hall, Tim has actually been deeply involved in the actions of the Phantom Thieves.

[Parker: Lucas, we have bad news for you. ]

Peter quickly broke the happy atmosphere in the group.

bad news? Lucas didn't know why.

[Lucas: What happened?

Stacey: Well, after you and Hope and Tim disappeared, we re-explored Henshaw's palace.

Stacey: And then we hit Henshaw. ]

This is the meeting with the palace master, but there is nothing strange about this, right?

[Lucas: Well, what then?

Lucas: Have you found any clues from the palace master?

Stacey: No, no, no, when I say the discovery of Henshaw, I am not referring to the Hall Master, but the original Henshaw.

Lucas:?

McCready: It’s actually the real-life Henshaw!

Lucas:? ? ]

There were more and more little question marks above Lucas' head.

[Lucas: Um, I don’t understand.

Lucas: Why did you meet the real-life Henshaw in the hall?

Parker: Right, that's the problem.

Parker: I don’t know why Henshaw appeared in the hall, and he was able to control the entire hall. We were almost thrown into the universe and suffocated to death. ]

"Like me?" Tim couldn't help but say.

Tim really appeared in his own inner world.

"Can you control your inner world?" Lucas coolly took down Tim's stage.

"Isn't that enough now?" With Lucas's attack power, Tim wouldn't be hit.

[McCready: Don’t change the subject!

McCready: The reason it's bad news is because we found out there's no secret treasure at all!

Lucas:? ? ? ]

"How is that possible!" Hope suddenly became furious, "Without the secret treasure, it would be impossible for the palace to appear!"

Lucas frowned.

[Lucas: Are you sure?

Parker: I asked Henshaw what was important to him? But he said she was dead. ]

"Can the enemy's words be trusted?" Tim asked suspiciously.

"How could this happen...This is impossible!" Hope couldn't believe it.

Shadows can't lie, but how can Henshaw, who has entered the palace, be considered a shadow? Therefore, there is still the possibility of him lying.

"No." After hearing Lucas's thoughts, Hope said dejectedly, "I think he was right. Is there anything that Henshaw cherishes now? And I had a feeling before that that palace is like It’s like dying... Now it seems that the situation is indeed similar.”

"What about repentance?"

"There is no way to repent!" Hope said helplessly, "Not everything can be solved by relying on different dimensions. That Henshaw did this with the awareness of death!"

The person he cherished is no longer there, and only the body called obsession remains. Such Henshaw is no longer a guy who can change his heart.
