Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Although Tim's evidence was conclusive, the cautious Bruce went to the thirteenth floor of the Wayne Building to find out. However, when he saw the items from the Court of Owls in the room, he finally realized that he had made an error in judgment.

The Court of Owls, if this ancient rumor circulating in Gotham is true, then how long have they existed, how many people have they killed, and how many crimes have they hidden.

Just thinking about this made Bruce feel cold in his heart.

The thirteenth floor does not exist in the Wayne Building. Bruce does not think that Allen Wayne, the founder of this building, would not know about its existence. But now, it has become the home of the Court of Owls.

Bruce couldn't help but remember that Allen Wayne once established a foundation to build the Gotham Landscape. Over the past 150 years, many magnificent buildings have been funded and built, with an average of one built every ten years.

Bruce looked up the list of buildings and investigated them one by one. Without exception, they all became owl nests.

The habit of birds like owls is that they never build nests consciously. They only build nests in the nests of their enemies.

"Alfred, Allen Wayne is right, and his son Henry Wayne, the man who built the thirteenth gargoyle statue, should also know all this." Bruce said seriously He said to his butler.

"What are you talking about, sir?"

"The Court of Owls is in our home." Bruce whispered, his blue eyes filled with haze, "They have been at our feet for so many years."

In the flames of the explosion, the talons of the Court of Owls looked emotionlessly into the flames.

"Batman, the Court of Owls has sentenced you to death immediately."

Bruce disappeared suddenly, and no trace of him could be found. He disappeared into Gotham, like a drop of ink disappearing into the sea.

The Bat-Light above the Gotham Police Station has been on for a whole week. Commissioner Gordon on the rooftop was waiting for his old friend with a cigarette in his mouth, but this time he still didn't show up.

Gordon knew that Batman would not appear again today.

Batman has never disappeared for so long. It has been so long that everyone thinks he had an accident or died in an unknown place. This makes the evildoers who have been under the fear of Bat for a long time feel ready to take action.

Unfortunately, Batman's successors have not disappeared. While they are searching for traces of Batman, they are also cracking down on any criminals who dare to come forward during this period.

The criminals must not be allowed to understand that this is an opportunity, otherwise, the entire Gotham will be in chaos.

Inside the Batcave.

Tim opened his bloodshot eyes and stared unblinkingly at the screen where data was flowing rapidly.

Bruce disappeared while investigating the Court of Owls and had nothing to do with the rumored Court of Owls. He didn't believe it.

The problem is, no one can find the Court of Owls.

"Damn it!" Tim slammed the table and lowered his head dejectedly.

However, if there is no clue, should we give up on Bruce? Tim couldn't do it.

He reached for his cup, but found it empty.

Tim raised his head expressionlessly. After days and nights of hard work without sleep, he no longer had the energy to show surprise.

"Go get some rest, Tim," Dick said softly.

To be honest, he is not much better than Tim, but he is the eldest brother and must shoulder the responsibilities that an eldest brother should bear.

"I...it's okay..." Tim silently stretched out his hand.

Dick sighed and drank the coffee from the cup in his hand. The bitterness reached his soul and made him sober up.

"Your taste is too bitter..." Dick couldn't help complaining.

Tim looked at Dick sadly as he drank the source of his life, "You obviously don't have to drink."

"You really need to rest." Dick saw Tim's desperate efforts, and his fatigue was worse than he thought.

Tim, who was using his persona to assist in the investigation, looked at Dick's dark circles under his eyes and was speechless.

Is it okay for our eldest brother not to talk to the third brother?

"By the way, where's Lucas?" Tim asked.

"Probably because the atmosphere in the manor is too depressing now, Luca said he wanted to go out and relax," Dick said.

He said Lucas' nickname naturally.

"But it's getting late now." Tim glanced at the time on the Batcomputer.

Night has fallen.

Lucas walks through the streets of Gotham, where almost nothing has changed from two years ago.

"Lucas, do you have any ideas?" Hope asked.

"Not yet." Lucas shook his head, "I think my familiarity with the Court of Owls is definitely not just as simple as hearing their rumors. There should be some deeper connection between us, just..."

He covered his head and said to himself, "I have to remember."

Lucas stood still under the light, and he seemed to see something flashing past his eyes.

Behind Lucas, several gangsters had long taken a liking to Lucas, who was alone and well-dressed. Seeing that he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, these gangsters looked at each other in tacit understanding and slowly approached from behind. Lucas.

A Robin Dart flew from the darkness and grazed the gangster's cheek, leaving a hot blood trail.

"Get out of here." Robin, who was sitting on the wall with a dark face, said condescendingly and coldly.

The news that Robin has been replaced has been known to these street gangsters for a long time. Unlike the previous Robin, this Robin is ruthless. If he hadn't given some time to the criminals under him, it would have been really disappointing. I suspect that he just went there for the purpose of beating people to death.

These hob meats were afraid of being so cruel. Under Robin's eyes looking at the dead man, they quickly ran away in despair.

"Robin?" Lucas raised his head and looked at Robin.

Robin jumped down, landed firmly in front of Lucas, and said firmly, "Gotham is very dangerous at night these days. You shouldn't be here."

Although Lucas is now weak enough to make Damian doubt his other self, since that handshake, Damian has divided this younger brother from another world into his own territory.

Even if you are weak, you cannot let others bully you. This is the bottom line for the arrogant Damian.

"Then go shopping with me, Robin." Lucas lowered his eyes, his eyelashes as thick as small fans resting on his sky-like blue eyes, and the pale light shining on his face made his face even more pale.

This face combines the best features of Superman and Batman, and Lucas’s own melancholy temperament is the finishing touch. Unfortunately, the only one you can admire here is the ten-year-old Damian, and being good-looking cannot be used in Damian. Mian gets preferential treatment here, only if she is furry.

Therefore, Damian was not moved by the beauty in front of him at all.

"Don't give us any trouble at this time." He said coldly.

Bruce's long absence made Damian anxious, and for the first time he began to consider the possibility of Bruce's death.

"This guy has gone too far!" Hope said angrily, "Obviously Lucas, you are also thinking of a way!"

"That's really unfortunate. I do have an impression about the Court of Owls." Lucas said.

His words suddenly made Damian's eyes sharpen under his domino mask, "What do you mean?"

"I thought of pure white labyrinths, gold-flowing pools, and giant owl statues."

"maze……"

"Do you have any idea?" Lucas asked.

Damian, who had only been in Gotham for two or three years, raised his head and said, "You asked me about it instead. However, as far as I know, the scene you mentioned is not in Gotham."

"But..." He paused, "If your memory is true and such a place is really somewhere in Gotham, it can only be in the sewers."

Gotham's sewers are well-connected. After generations of repairs and expansions, even Batman can't say that he fully understands the underground Gotham.

Gotham, in the sewers.

The cold air was moved by the light footsteps, and in the darkness, the sound of the boy's teeth gnashing could be heard.

"Why do you have to come along? Huh?!"

It's a pity that Lucas won't be frightened by Damian's ferocity.

"Of course I have to confirm the clues I think of myself."

Wanting to find Bruce was one thing, but another very important reason was that he also wanted to find this part of his memory. His intuition told him that this was important.

"TT." Damian clicked his tongue impatiently, but in the end he acquiesced to Lucas' behavior, and even threw him a simple air filter when he frowned slightly.

These props are all kept in Robin's belt and are usually not used by Damian.

"Alan Wayne's body was found in the sewer." Lucas accepted Damian's awkward kindness, even though he didn't frown because of the smell.

After all, he could turn a blind eye to the smell of corpses...

After installing the filter, Lucas's voice became muffled, "Don't you think that this case that took place over a hundred years ago is similar to Bruce's disappearance today?"

"Father will not die in the hands of these dark villains!" Damian couldn't help but step heavier and heavier, splashing a large amount of sewage in the pipe.

Lucas once again felt the difference between the two Damians. The one in front of him was young and a little naive, but... he was also full of vitality.

Damian is quite cute when he shows his emotions like this. Lucas thought disrespectfully.

"Of course." He followed Damian just in time, "I don't think Bruce will die at the hands of the Court of Owls. I gave an example to show that we may have found the right place."

But both Lucas and Damian understand that it is very difficult to find the owl's nest in the complex Gotham sewer system, unless they are lucky enough, like... now.

Looking at this huge white maze, the pupils of both brothers shrank tightly.

"This... is exactly the same as the scene I saw." Lucas murmured.

Damian squinted at the entrance to the maze, it looked like a sweet trap, but...

Just as Damian was about to step forward, his wrist was grabbed by Lucas.

"This is too risky." Lucas said seriously.

If Bruce is really trapped here, can he and Damian successfully rescue Bruce and escape unharmed? No matter how you think about it, the possibility is very small.

If it were the Phantom Thieves standing here, Lucas would have gone in and had a look no matter what, but now... He looked towards the entrance of the maze, and he felt a dark breath escaping from inside, with a sweet smell, Inducing him to step into it.

For the sake of Lucas finding the key location, Damian was willing to explain to him, "Father has disappeared for a week, and we don't have that much time."

Humans can't go that long without eating or drinking, even if that person is Batman.

"I will definitely rescue my father." He said firmly.

Lucas looked at Damian intently.

Bruce is a very charming man, even an unruly guy like Damian will be impressed by him.

Perhaps, he shouldn't be limited to the shadow of the manic laughter to get to know Bruce's Batman side.

[I am you, you are me.

Here you gain a new bond.

As the saying goes, the wings of salvation free from bondage.

I, the Pope's Mask, was born in the wind of blessing, and added strength to the invitation to salvation...]

The voice in his heart sounded at the right time, and Lucas was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that the contract has not appeared for a long time, not because Bruce is unwilling to establish contact with him, but because he is unwilling to accept all of Bruce.

Feeling the faint connection between himself and Bruce, Lucas raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes brightened.

"What are you thinking about?" Damian frowned and looked at him, not knowing what this man was suddenly happy about.

"I think we can find Bruce exactly," Lucas said, "in a safer way."

The locators on Lucas and Damian suddenly failed, and Tim, who was originally drowsy and dying, sat up in shock.

"Lucas, he entered a different space?!" Tim was very surprised, "And with Damian?"

He never imagined that during the period when Bruce was missing, Lucas would choose to enter a different space, and he would still be with Damian, who had no awakened persona. Could it be that he discovered something?

"Great Tim! You're still here!" Hope's voice came vaguely from the window.

Tim quickly opened the window and let Hope in.

"Lucas and Damian entered a different space. What happened?" he asked.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Hope showed a very confused expression, "Huh?"

Hope exclaimed, "Lucas brought Damian into another dimension?!"

"Don't you know anything..." Tim couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Then what's the matter with you coming back?"

"Oh, Lucas wants me to tell you that the missing Bruce is most likely in the sewers!"

"Sewer?" Tim opened his eyes wide, as if he thought of something.

The monocle appeared on his face again, and dense data appeared around him, eventually gathering underground.
