Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Damian couldn't help but glance at Lucas, who was lost in his own thoughts, and then at Bruce, who also had a straight face. The two men looked exactly the same unhappy.

"Batman, he helped me find you." Damian spoke for Lucas.

"Yeah." Bruce planned to bring these members of the Court of Owls to justice, and then go talk to Lucas, who was obviously wrong just now.

As a result, just after tying up these Daguis, Bruce turned around and found that Lucas was no longer there.

Facing Bruce's silent questioning look, Damian crossed his chest and said, "He's gone."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lucas had just done. If he hadn't made an agreement with Bruce not to kill anyone, every one of these owls would have died under his knife.

Long-term fatigue has made Bruce a little shaky, but not only Lucas, he also cares about what the leader of the owl, Scott, who was almost strangled to death by Lucas, said to Lucas.

Holy Son... Bruce thought heavily.

This title reminded him of a cruel fact. What Lucas experienced in Crime Alley and even earlier in this world were blank to them.

They need the information from Scott. Not only Bruce knows it, but Damian also knows it.

He glanced at Bruce's stubbled chin and said, "I'll make him talk, Batman."

"Be careful." Bruce didn't stop Damian this time.

"No, no, no..." Looking at Damian, who was approaching with malicious intent, Scott kept backing away. There were terrible purple bruises on his pampered skin because of Lucas' roughness just now.

But after seeing the Bat family interrogating criminals, you will understand that these vigilantes are all masters of interrogation.

"I...I really can't say..." Scott said angrily, almost out of breath.

There was going to be a problem if the interrogation continued. Damian shook off the blood on his hand, clicked his tongue in displeasure, and looked at the others.

The owls, huddled together and shivering, let out a sharp cry when they caught Damian's sight.

"You." Damian picked out a blonde woman.

Greg kept shaking his head, "No, the priest will kill me!"

"Priest..." Damian narrowed his eyes, "Speak clearly!"

But Greg didn't want to say anything.

"Okay." Lucas came back at some point, but his face was very pale.

"The coffins are empty, the owl statues and the amber... it's all gone," he said.

The police later arrived and took over these court members. After knowing their true identities, it was not difficult to find evidence of their crimes. Moreover, these Gotham dignitaries have been members of the Court of Owls for generations, and they were also found in their homes. There is a lot of evidence.

However, the disappearance of the sharp claws and amber gold indicates that this matter is far from over. The real mastermind may still be hiding in the dark.

Since Bruce drank water from the pool when he was trapped underground, he did a comprehensive physical examination as soon as he returned to the Batcave.

The results showed that there were several elements in Bruce's blood that had never appeared before. This change made Alfred very nervous. However, these elements seemed to have been integrated into Bruce's body. Even after a few days of observation, there was no natural change. A sign of metabolization.

"After drinking those sweet thirst-quenching liquids, I had severe hallucinations..." Bruce said to Zatanna who came to Gotham, "I... I saw my parents."

For Bruce, the night in Crime Alley, the scattered pearl necklaces, and the cold bodies of his parents were his lifelong nightmare.

"It seems that it has indeed affected your senses." Zatanna sighed, "But from what I can see, I don't find that it has caused any harm to your body, and it even has many benefits. "

As she spoke, her eyes glowed faintly, and in the magic vision, Bruce could clearly be seen exuding a psychedelic silver halo.

"I don't know what these elements represent, but it does give you a weak ability to heal yourself," Zatanna said.

"I know...this is amber gold." Bruce thought of what Lucas said. Considering his identity, Bruce couldn't help but ask, "Zatanna, are you sure it's not something from another world?"

"You are doubting my professionalism, Bruce." Zatanna rolled her eyes at Bruce, "Although I have no research on technology, I can still feel if there is an alien atmosphere."

"And..." She narrowed her eyes and looked at Bruce carefully again, "This thing not only belongs to this world, but it is also quite ancient."

"The problem now is that I can't metabolize this element on my own." Bruce frowned.

"It's obviously something with benefits..." Zatanna sighed, but she knew Bruce well and knew that he would not let things of unknown origin enter his body, so she could only helplessly shake her head and sigh, "You, you... "

If it was the guy she knew, he would probably be very happy.

Zatanna was lost for a few seconds, then came back to her senses, "By the way, you said earlier that you have a son from another world and you want me to show him his body, right?"

Mentioning Lucas, a trace of worry flashed in Bruce's eyebrows. In his opinion, Lucas's state in the underground maze was obviously abnormal. When he pinched Scott, his blue eyes were as cold as ice and his expression was calm, as if What is in his hands is not a living human life, but ants that can decide life and death at will.

Bruce knew that the influence of himself in another world, who had turned into the Laughing Bat, on Lucas would not disappear so quickly, but in any case, it is not a bad thing to check. What cannot be detected by Kryptonian technology may not be detected with magic. Undetectable.

Lucas was sitting in a daze on his bed at the moment, with his legs curled up and his face buried in his knees.

"Lucas..." Hope looked at the dull Lucas worriedly, "What happened underground?"

Lucas raised his face slightly, revealing a pair of blue eyes, and said dullly, "I... don't know what to say..."

He was afraid of himself in that state, and he didn't want to become his murderous self again. This was the only thing Lucas had to insist on.

No one knows himself, and Lucas clearly understood that he really wanted to kill that man at that time.

This is wrong... He obviously just wants to find out the truth, why...

He looked out the window confusedly.

Could it be that he just couldn't escape the shadow of the Laughing Bat?

"buckle"

There was a restrained knock on the door.

Lucas' pupils rolled and he said softly, "Please come in."

The door opened softly.

It's Alfred.

"Master Easton, are you okay?" Alfred, who originally wanted to say something, asked with concern after seeing Lucas' pale face.

"No, I'm fine." Lucas jumped out of bed, "What's the matter, Alfred?"

"Master Bruce has a guest, and he hopes you can meet her." Alfred said, "Of course, if Master Easton feels uncomfortable, you can change the time. Miss Zatara will stay at Wayne Manor. At a time."

Zatara? After hearing this name, Lucas was stunned for a moment. He was no stranger to this name. Zatanna Zatara, after being completely transformed by Laughter, was one of the first people to be killed.

This is not surprising. As Bruce's childhood sweetheart, Zatanna quickly noticed the anomaly in Gotham. She wanted to know what happened to Bruce, but was mercilessly killed by Laughter.

If it were true, Lucas, who was born a long time later, did not know Zatanna, but who let him know another great magician who was close to her.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go now. In the Batcave?" Lucas was also curious about Zatanna.

"Yes, Master Easton."

Lucas went directly to the Batcave and saw the sexy magician sitting in front of Bruce.

Zatanna had just finished a performance before arriving. She was still wearing an exquisite little suit and black fishnet stockings that highlighted the perfect curves of her legs.

The beautiful magician said "Huh" in confusion the moment she saw Lucas.

Zatanna and Constantine had been dating for a while. Even if they broke up later, it didn't mean that the two had lost contact, so she immediately recognized the traces of magic on Lucas that belonged to Constantine.

But at the same time, Zatanna also noticed that Lucas exuded an aura that was not of this world.

The Zatara family is a family with a long history, and Zatanna herself is considered well-informed.

"Darkness, deep darkness..." she murmured.

After listening to Zatanna's words, Lucas couldn't help but stop and look at her complicatedly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I know you are a good kid." Lucas' actions made Zatanna misunderstand something. She believed Bruce's vision and said friendly, "Birth never determines anything, the key lies in what you do. Right? Lucas Easton? Can I just call you Lucas?"

"Well, okay." Lucas paused, "But I'm not a good person."

"Huh?" Zatanna was stunned for a moment.

"Just follow the procedure, Miss Zatanna Zatara." Lucas came to her.

"You know me? A little guest from another world?" Zatanna asked curiously.

"Well, only from another person's mouth though."

Damian would not talk about Zatanna in front of him. He was exhausted just from dealing with the Laughing Bat. Only Constantine would tell him some past events while smoking.

With these few words, he could barely piece together the image of Zatanna, a warm and kind-hearted magician.

"It's just too naive, too close to the human world." The magician with blond hair and stubble sighed in the hazy smoke, "We are aliens in the world, but she tried to blend in."

Zatanna's expression became complicated, and she said with difficulty, "That guy's name is John Constantine, right?"

Lucas blinked. He felt something from Zatanna's emotions, "Is the relationship between you not good?"

"It's not just bad!" Zatanna took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "He killed my father!"

Once upon a time, they had a good past, and Zatanna even fantasized about their future, but in the final analysis, Constantine was still an extremely selfish guy.

She knew that they had no more choices at that time, but Constantine's behavior of selling Zatara without hesitation still left a thorn in Zatanna's heart. No matter what, they had already broken up. .

This was beyond Lucas' expectation. After all, Constantine clearly cared about Zatanna. In Damian's words, as long as they dealt with the Laughing Bat, Constantine was the strongest ally on the ship.

The premise is that Constantine wants to avenge Zatanna's death at the hands of the Laughing Bat.

The magician must repay his leisure time.

"So, you really know Constantine." Zatanna rubbed her forehead tiredly, "The magic on your body was used by him to protect you. It is a very profound secret spell. Only blood relatives can see your true face. "

I see, but Peter, Gwen, and Harry also saw his face. Could it be because they themselves were forced to integrate into this world?

Lucas guessed in his mind.

Zatanna continued to feel Lucas' condition.

"Your heart..." Her expression changed and she couldn't help but look at Bruce, "What's going on?"

"Kryptonite bomb." Bruce said helplessly, "This location is too dangerous. We will not attack this location before making a reliable plan."

"You're right to be cautious."

Zatanna drew a magic circle in the air on Lucas' chest, and the image in his chest appeared in front of the magic circle.

You can clearly see that the kryptonite bomb is stuck in the heart, emitting a green light.

This level of kryptonite radiation is already lethal to a Kryptonian, but the reason why Lucas is still alive and kicking is...

"Bruce, you have the same restorative element in your body as Lucas." Zatanna's expression was serious, "But the concentration in his body is much higher than yours."

"You just said that this special element gives me a small amount of self-healing ability. This is why Lucas can survive the long-term radiation of kryptonite."

"Yeah." Zatanna nodded, "Please note that you only have a trace amount, but Lucas's body is not a trace amount, and his body has reached a certain balance over the years. Once the kryptonite is removed, the balance will If it is broken, no one knows what changes will occur.”

The reason why Zatanna didn't pay attention to the trace elements in Bruce's body before was because it was only a trace amount and would not cause any big trouble no matter what, but Lucas...

"In short, it's best to keep the status quo," she said.
