Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Chapter 2 Strange Dream

"Boom"

The sound of the switch sounded, and at the same time, the lights of the lights focused on Lucas from all angles.

What the hell, where is this? !

Lucas raised his hand to block the dazzling light. Gradually, he finally adapted to the brightness here and saw the surrounding environment clearly.

He was standing in the center of a gorgeous theater, surrounded by stepped auditoriums, and sitting at the top was an old man with a hooked nose, and behind him stood a little boy in a blue uniform. .

"Welcome to my velvet room."

Lucas looked around this strange place warily.

"Finally woke up."

The boy who was standing behind the old man suddenly appeared in front of him. A pair of golden eyes looked at Lucas's gorgeous knight costume playfully, "It's a knight... In reality, you are sleeping, this is just..." Projection in a dream.”

He raised his chin and said, "You are standing still in front of the master!"

This... what the hell is going on!

Lucas was so mad that he subconsciously wanted to lift his glasses, but his fingers went nowhere, and the thick glasses disappeared from his face at some point.

"Haha, welcome, this is the first time we have met." The old man held his face with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand, "This is the narrow place between dreams and reality, spirit and matter. , is a room that only those who have made a contract in some form are eligible to enter."

"I am Eagle, the master of this place. Remember it," he said. "The reason why I called you here is for no other reason than to talk about something very important about this world."

Standing inexplicably on a highly publicized stage, and facing two strangers alone, Lucas was afraid that he had committed a crime.

Moreover... the current scene is completely unscientific. Lucas silently wanted to calm down in his heart and shouted tentatively: "Nonsense... what are you talking about? Get me out quickly!"

Eagle ignored Lucas at all, but looked around the theater where he was. "However, it's really surprising. The appearance of this room is the appearance of your own heart. I didn't expect it to be a theater, and Your appearance is completely different."

What a joke!

Lucas clenched his fists silently, what is this bastard talking about!

"But the focus of today is not that." Eagle looked at Lucas again, "In the near future, you and the world will be destroyed."

"What a joke!"

Unlike before, where he kept it silently in his heart, this time Lucas roared loudly.

"Haha, there is no need to worry." Eagle said calmly, "You have a way to resist fate... I will explain the details to you later."

"What are you doing as the Riddler!" Lucas showed a disgusted expression.

After speaking his mind before, Lucas gave up pretending to be himself. If he was truly a coward, he would have died in Crime Alley long ago.

The boy behind him kicked him in the leg. After Lucas couldn't control himself and stumbled forward a few steps, he said arrogantly: "Please show some respect to the master!"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lucas, "Knight? No, you are just an actor at best now."

"you……!"

As Lucas glared, the boy raised the whip in his hand, "What's wrong, actor?"

After Lucas chose to shut up in frustration, Eagle spoke again: "I forgot to introduce you. The person next to you is Archipad, my assistant."

Archipal snorted coldly, "It is my duty to help you, but only if you are obedient and obedient. Be grateful."

"As for his responsibilities, let's talk about it next time we have a chance." Eagle crossed his legs and propped up his chin, "Okay, it's almost dawn... The time is coming, you can slowly understand what's going on here, after all... …We will meet again soon.”

Eagle snapped his fingers, and an ominous creaking sound sounded on the stage.

Just when Lucas raised his head and looked around uneasily, Archipald spoke, "Okay, it's time, go back to sleep honestly."

"What? Wait..." Lucas wanted to ask something else, but the curtains on both sides fell instantly, and at the same time, the lights dimmed.

the next morning.

Lucas frowned and sat on the edge of the bed.

...I had a strange dream, the world...was destroyed...defying fate...

What exactly does it mean...

"Really...I really believed it. Am I a fool?"

Lucas, who couldn't figure out the reason, patted his forehead and decided to put this weird dream behind him, "In the end, it's just a dream. Whatever happens in the dream is normal."

"It's better to go to school first. It's too bad to be late on the first day of transfer." Lucas shook his head and got up to wash up.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, another boy's voice came from the house next door.

"Then I'm going to school, Aunt May, Uncle Ben."

The door of the house was opened, and a boy wearing a Midtown Middle School uniform came out. He wore glasses like Lucas and had freshly baked bread in his mouth.

"Well……"

After seeing Lucas, the boy took off the bread from his mouth and said, "You... are the new ones, right? I'm Peter Parker, good morning."

"Ah...good morning."

After saying hello, Lucas fell silent.

"Uh..." Peter blinked. He didn't know Lucas well, and it wasn't easy to continue the conversation. After all...

"Are you going out too? I happen to be going to school as well, so I need to take a step first." After saying that, he waved his hand naturally, turned around and walked in the direction of Zhongcheng Middle School.

What a coincidence that they are from the same school.

Lucas followed Peter silently, and was quickly noticed by Peter.

He took a few steps back and happened to be shoulder to shoulder with Lucas, "Where are you going? You're going the same way as me."

"……School."

"School? That's right. After all, you look about the same age as me. You are indeed the age to go to school. It's great. It feels like you have an extra person of the same age. By the way, since you just moved here, you lived there before. where?"

"...Gotham."

"Huh?! Gotham? That's really an amazing place. I heard that the security there is very bad, and there are a lot of weirdos. But it should be fine with Batman and Robin here, they are superheroes. Ah. If you grew up in Gotham, you should have seen them. It's great, I'm so envious. When I grew up, except for Captain America on TV, I didn't have the opportunity to face superheroes. Even so, and Meeting superheroes must be in dangerous situations. Thinking about it this way, I have never met a superhero once, which may be a good thing..."

Peter gushed.

It's so noisy...Lucas has a dead look in his eyes. What's going on with this mouth? Why is this guy so good at talking? Aren't you tired?

Even if Lucas shuts up and doesn't talk to Peter, Peter can still talk stand-up alone for a long time, which makes Lucas, who believes that he can get quiet as long as he doesn't speak, doubt his life, because Peter is so good at talking.

It wasn't until the two of them stood at the entrance of Zhongcheng Middle School that Peter reacted belatedly.

"...Wait a minute, you are also a student at Zhongcheng Middle School?"

Lucas sighed, "Yeah, transfer student."

"Oh, that's it." Peter nodded and said excitedly: "Then, we can go to school together in the future, great!"

Too bad... Lucas felt as if his life had fallen into darkness. He had to listen to Peter's endless words every day. What a torture it was.

"I have to report to the office first." He couldn't help but say.

"Okay, I hope we can be in the same class." Peter smiled.

Looking at Peter's leaving figure, Lucas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Please, please don't be in the same class.

"...Your grades are quite good, and you can be considered among the best in our school. However, if you want to make it easier to get into a prestigious school, I still hope that you can join some sports clubs. It is best to make A little achievement..."

"...Classmate Easton...Classmate Easton? Are you listening?"

Lucas raised his head, "Hug...sorry."

The teacher sighed, "This is about your own future. Please be more careful. I can understand that you may be a little uncomfortable with the new environment, but how about you consider my suggestions?"

"Well, I'll think about it." Lucas said in a low voice.

"Okay, then... Easton, please go to Class A. The first year of high school is on the third floor."

Lucas nodded and exited the office.

With the sound of the door closing, he lowered his eyes, "The same suggestion again..."

Lucas is not opposed to having a good physique, and he even envies people with good muscles, but sports clubs...that place where superiors and subordinates are clearly defined, if you just want to exercise, it is completely impossible.

Forget it...it's better to just deal with it like we did in Gotham.

"Are you classmate Lucas Easton?"

"Ah."

The man smiled and said, "My name is Anderson Langdon, and I am the head teacher of Class A."

He placed his hand gently on Lucas' shoulder, in a gesture of familiarity but not intimacy.

"In other words, I will be in charge of Easton-san for the next two years."

"Okay, Mr. Langdon."

"Well, Mr. Easton, the time of your transfer is a bit strange. If you transfer in the middle of the semester, it will be affected to some extent. But I have read your profile, Mr. Easton. With your grades, you should be able to adapt to our school quickly. Don’t worry too much about the rhythm.”

Lucas lowered his head and responded softly: "Yes."

Anderson glanced at Lucas, who was silent, and gained some understanding of this student's character.

He pushed open the classroom door, and the noisy class fell silent.

Peter, who was holding his cheek in a daze out of boredom, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Lucas.

Anderson said, "Quiet, there is a transfer student in our class today."

He looked at Lucas and said, "Okay, let's introduce yourself."

Lucas looked at the crowd of students below who were watching him and swallowed subconsciously. Thanks to his excellent hearing, whispers continued to reach his ears.

"Transfer students? Are there any transfer students at this time?"

"Supposedly from Gotham."

"Really? Gotham? It's actually from that place."

"That's too bad. Maybe that guy also transferred schools because he committed a crime."

"Huh? How funny."

The tall boy at the back of the classroom crossed his legs arrogantly and said, "Just like this, he was the kind of gloomy man who was rejected and fled here in despair."

"Too."

"Hahaha, maybe."

"Thompson, don't go too far!" Peter couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and said.

"Excessive?" Thompson snorted coldly, "How dare you say that for a mere idiot."

"Okay, be quiet." Anderson frowned and knocked on the table, "Classmate Easton, continue."

"I..." Lucas paused, "My name is Lucas Easton."

Two or three seconds passed.

"End?"

Seeing Lucas nodded, a trace of helplessness flashed in Anderson's eyes.

"Okay, then student Easton will sit..." Anderson's eyes wandered to the empty seats in the classroom.

"Mr. Langdon." Peter raised his hand, "Is the transfer student sitting here?"

There happened to be an empty seat next to Peter.

"Okay, then Easton-san can sit there."

Anderson was quite relieved about Peter, so he agreed.

Lucas came to his seat silently, and as soon as he sat down, he stretched out his head next to him.

Peter whispered: "Don't pay attention to what that bastard Thompson said."

"...In a way, he was right." Lucas said in a low voice.

Peter was stunned.

"Don't whisper and listen carefully." Anderson knocked on the blackboard.

Peter came to his senses and quickly retracted his head, only occasionally looking at Lucas worriedly.

The morning class passed unknowingly, and as soon as lunch break came, Peter came to Lucas holding his lunch box.

"Lucas, do you want to go to the cafeteria for lunch together?"

Although meals are also sold in the cafeteria, most students prefer to bring their own. Of course, Peter prefers the love bento made by Aunt Mei.

"Okay." Lucas stood up, "I'll go to the canteen to buy bread."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the classroom." Peter smiled, "Speaking of the bread in the canteen, the fried noodles bread today is very good, don't miss it."

"Well, thank you for the recommendation."

Peter wiped his nose and said, "It's a piece of cake. Go quickly. It would be a shame if they are sold out."

Lucas raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a small smile.

"Then, I'm looking forward to it."

The canteen is in a very conspicuous location at Midtown Middle School, and Lucas can see it at a glance.

"Hello, please give me a piece of fried noodles bread."

"Okay, this is the last one for today."

"Thank you."

Lucas took the still warm bread, the aroma came from the packaging, and it smelled really good.

“Excuse me, do you still have the fried noodles bread?”

Just when Lucas turned to leave, a pleasant female voice came from behind.

"Sorry, it was sold out just now."
