Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"What did you dream about?" the knight asked curiously.

"Birthday..." Lucas smiled helplessly, "However, I don't know when I was raised, so it doesn't matter."

"That doesn't matter, you can choose a day that is important to you." The knight raised his eyebrows, "For you, it is enough as long as someone is by your side."

Lucas nodded slightly and looked at the knight thoughtfully, "You seem to know me very well."

"Of course I've been prepared for it." The knight didn't mention it at all, and mumbled it vaguely.

"But I... hmm?" The ice spreading over his body made Lucas snort in confusion.

"You really shouldn't believe me so much." The knight pretended to smile frivolously, "Sleep a little longer, sleeping beauty."

"What...what..." Lucas struggled to ask again as his consciousness sank, and he closed his eyes unwillingly.

"Well, I've got the stuff." The knight looked at the kryptonite bomb in his hand. The green kryptonite was also mixed with traces of red, which seemed to have been formed by soaking in blood for many years.

"The next step is to bind the anchor point." Another voice sounded.

Jason looked at the knight complicatedly.

"Bind this coordinate to the palace, and the bastards from the dark universe will come here as soon as possible. Nothing can reduce the damage better than this." The knight said.

He once again looked at Lucas, who was still frowning uneasily after falling asleep, and said with disgust, "The savior sounds nice, but he is just a victim."

Yes, Lucas has an environment where he can live in the main world for a long time, but how can he alone deal with the Laughing Bat, which can easily be manipulated by even Superman, let alone the entire Dark Knights.

This is obviously a certain death situation.

Thinking of this, the knight felt irritable.

I can hardly survive myself, and I still have the energy to care about the life and death of others.

The Time Stone can peek into countless timelines. This is why he suggested Jason go to Katamaji to practice.

The Ancient One, one of the protectors of the Earth, the great Sorcerer Supreme, seemed to have anticipated the arrival of one man and one soul, and was waiting for them when they ascended the Himalayas.

"I know why you came." Ancient One smiled, looking at Jason and the other soul in his body, "I will teach you magic and lend you the Time Stone, but in exchange, I need a promise. "

"That is, no matter what, we must save this world."

There is no reason to refuse at all, because this is their purpose.

In order to learn more skills, in addition to eating, sleeping and other physiologically necessary activities, the Jasons have been spending time in the library. No wonder Strange feels that he is in trouble. The problem is, in the face of the destruction of the world, I have to roll it.

These two years have been a fulfilling two years for the Jasons. Not only have they learned many useful magics, but they have also maintained formations to protect the earth in temples around the world.

"As the seat of the original power of the world, many races and forces can't help but come to the earth to fight with each other. In order to prevent the human beings on the earth from being affected, and for myself, I use the temples around the world as my base to set up Form a protective formation." Gu Yi said.

"So how did War Fortress come to Earth?" Jason couldn't help but ask.

"This is betrayal." Gu Yi sighed, "Of course, it's also because I have no time to care. After all, Dormammu also needs me to suppress him."

He has guarded the earth for too long, and the powerful Sorcerer Supreme will get tired.

"What a bargain for that bastard Hank Henshaw." Jason snorted coldly.

Henshaw is already in soul form, and the shell that looks exactly like Superman is just a poor imitation.

Lucas killed Henshaw in the hall, which meant that he had disappeared from this world, leaving no trace of his existence. In order to stabilize the subsequent situation, Jason also spent time to find the soulless body. body, destroy it.

In the shadows, Jason did many unknown things.

"It's time to say goodbye." The knight still had a rebellious smile on his face.

"...Hmm." Jason's eyes passed over the J-shaped mark on his face.

Who can make Jason willingly lend his body, of course, he is the only one, but he also knows that the day of separation will come sooner or later.

It was only when the knight was about to turn around and leave with the kryptonite bomb as the coordinates that Jason spoke again, "Are you really..."

"Stop." The knight turned around and said with a face exactly like Jason's, "I know what you want to say, but Jason Todd will not be defeated by death."

So, there was no reason to stop it.

"Tsk." Jason sat cross-legged next to the Dionysus Factor Pool, holding his chin and looking at the sleeping Lucas. He recalled the days after he met his other self, and was filled with emotion for a moment.

He knew everything too early, but he could only hold back and make more preparations during the process, and then watched helplessly as his other self walked step by step towards his destined death.

"This feeling is really terrible." Jason was still unwilling.

"Susu"

Suddenly there was the sound of plants growing rapidly in the cave, and Jason jumped up immediately, holding the Great Caste Blade in his hand.

"who is it!"

"Long time no see, Red Hood." Poison Ivy walked over slowly, with a half-smile on her beautiful face, "Can you give me the boy behind you?"

The slightly hoarse voice was drawn out lazily, as if it had a small hook.

"You're dreaming!" Jason sneered.

There was no way he was going to hand Lucas over to a villain named Poison Ivy.

"That's really annoying~" Poison Ivy leaned on her vines, and more vines sprang out of the cracks and attacked Jason.

"Damn it! Poison Ivy, do you want this place to collapse?"

Although the flames lit by Jason can scare these plants, the structure of the pit underneath is inherently unstable. If Poison Ivy is allowed to continue causing trouble, there will definitely be a landslide here.

"Hehehe..." Poison Ivy didn't want to talk to Jason at all. Her only goal was Lucas behind Jason.

Seeing that Poison Ivy was losing her temper, Jason uttered a curse word, and his eyes under the hood began to darken.

If he can't change the Cavaliers' choice, he can't keep Lucas.

"Enough is enough for me!" Jason roared angrily.

The shadow of the flame ignited behind him, with an unstoppable trend.

Poison Ivy paused, her green eyes reflecting the blazing flames.

"All right."

That gentle word suddenly extinguished Jason's fighting spirit.

"You..." Jason turned around and looked at Lucas who broke out of the ice in surprise.

Green buds twined around his hands, intertwining with Poison Ivy's vines.

Jason understood everything. He was silent and stared at Lucas solemnly.

"Thank you, Ivy," Lucas said.

"You owe me a big favor." Poison Ivy brushed her red hair and complained half-seriously, "I almost thought I was really going to die here."

"Yeah." Lucas nodded and agreed to Poison Ivy's request, although they all knew that Poison Ivy would not die from such a sudden state.

"You said you believe me along the way. Are you lying?" Jason said with a sneer.

"Of course not." Lucas sighed, "I admit that I want to know your purpose, but if I didn't trust you, how could I trust you with my life?"

"Obviously you don't care at all." Jason said forcefully.

Jason is the most emotional and contradictory person in the Bat family. Extreme love and hate have left a deep mark on him, so he hopes that someone can believe in him unconditionally and not follow him so brainlessly.

"No..." Lucas just spat out the words of rebuttal, and then shook his head slightly, "I heard the conversation between you and him. He plans to die alone, right?"

Will not be defeated by death or something like that. When you hear this sentence, you will know Jason's plan, but is Jason Todd really not defeated by death? He is just a mortal.

Lucas couldn't accept this.

He glanced at Poison Ivy. The mature woman knew at a glance that it was another moment that she needed to avoid. She shrugged her shoulders and thoughtfully left room for the brothers to talk.

"I wanted to save him," Lucas said. "No one has to die."

Looking into Lucas's sincere blue eyes, Jason was not convinced, but smiled to himself, "Do you think I haven't tried it? After all, you don't know anything."

Jason's words are really heartbreaking. From the time he was born until he lived in this world, he was under the control of others. Whether it was malicious or well-intentioned, he never had a choice of his own.

"Yes, I don't know anything." Lucas lowered his eyes, and the emotions accumulated during this period burst out, "But... have you ever given me a choice?! Everyone is talking to themselves. Choose to sacrifice and stay here alone instead of me?!"

In this regard, whether it is Damian, Dick, or now Jason, they are all the same. They are worthy of being produced by the same factory. Their methods of protecting people are all the same, leaving all dangers and sacrifices to themselves.

What a joke!

"Can't I fight? Am I a baby who needs careful care!"

Lucas had a rare emotional outburst and yelled at Jason, not just to him, but to someone who had chosen the exact same path as him.

Jason stopped moving, as if he was shocked by Lucas's words. After a while, a burst of laughter came from the red hood.

"Hahahaha, I'm starting to like you."

Lucas was stunned, looking at Jason's exaggerated laugh while holding his belly in confusion.

"You're right." After Jason finished laughing, he stood up straight and said seriously, "Then let's go disrupt the plan of the guy who said he was going to sacrifice, right?"

"Huh? You... agreed?" Lucas was a little confused.

"There is always a way. Don't the Chinese have a saying that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Jason said seriously, "But if you die, then there will be nothing."

"I thought……"

"Okay, let me tell you about his original plan." Jason said.

Arkham Knight's plan is very simple, that is, since the army of the dark universe will attack the main universe sooner or later, then decide the entrance for them to enter. The original plan was to use the mirror space learned from the ancient master, but the mirror space Space may not be able to withstand the impact of the dark universe. After all, even a blow from the War Fortress almost drained Jason dry.

Originally, the success rate of this plan was not high, until the knight saw another possibility in the battle in Metropolis, which was the power called different space.

"He originally planned to trick you into using the power of the Persona, but he didn't expect you to be so tolerant, so he had no choice but to go into battle himself." Jason spread his hands.

"You guys are really good at acting." Lucas sighed.

The smile on Jason's face faded, "It's just my personal experience."

He thought that the Red Hood himself was already very rebellious, but he didn't expect that the experience of Arkham Knight was even more exciting than his own, driving a drill and chasing old bats underground! This... this is so exciting!

However, Arkham Knight's approach is indeed much more extreme. The Red Hood kills gangsters and villains, while Arkham Knight is bent on revenge against Batman and no longer cares about the lives of ordinary people. It is completely crazy and can only be said to be a very dark universe.

"We have studied the Phantom Thieves' behavior, analyzed what you have done, and used a few tricks to almost figure out your behavior pattern. However, the actual effect is still far beyond our expectations. .”

"A perfectly recreated Gotham, a space more realistic than the mirror space," he said.

"Then take out the coordinates in my body and bind them to this palace. Then when the dark universe invades, they will enter here..." Lucas said with a complex expression.

"Ah, because he was the one in charge of the body at that time, so this place is his palace, not mine." Jason showed a warm smile again, "This way I won't be implicated. This abacus clicks, right?"

As for why Jason agrees with what Lucas just said, it's not just that he himself is the same. He has been led by the knight all the time, and what he said is reasonable and well-founded, and he can't say anything to refute it. It's downright annoying.

"Once the Laughing Bat knows the true nature of the palace, he will be killed." Lucas pursed his lips and said.

He didn't think the alien space could stop the Laughing Bat. Once the knight who was the master of the palace was killed, his soul would really be shattered, and there would be no possibility of saving him.

The core of the palace is the treasure. If the knight wants to integrate the coordinates with the palace, he must integrate them with his own treasure.

Lucas looked at Jason and asked, "Do you know what his treasure is?"

"Wha...what?"

"It's the treasure, the core of this palace, the thing he cares about most."

Jason was eerily silent.

Lucas was also anxious, "Don't stay silent! You are essentially the same person, and it seems you have shared memories. There is no way you don't know this!"

"Okay, okay, I said that's it!" Jason said through gritted teeth.

He was speechless and self-deprecating and said, "Just... right in the Batcave..."

"Um, what in the Batcave?"

"Robin uniform in the Batcave!"

The moment he finished speaking, a long-lost voice sounded in Lucas's heart.

[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 death mask, was born in the wind of blessing, and added more help to the invitation to salvation...]
