Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Peter's determination surprised everyone. No one expected that he would make such a choice. He who was originally lively and cheerful seemed to suddenly become bitter and hateful.

"Is there something...something wrong?" Gwen held her forehead.

Since Lucas has temporarily lost his combat effectiveness, Peter not only needs to go to the Impression Space with Gwen to deal with the messages on the forum, but also to realize what he said before.

Peter made enough food and clothing by himself, and used Aunt Mei's sewing machine to make a rough suit by himself. He also made a spider web launcher inspired by spiders, which has high viscosity, high toughness, and powerful ability to decompose in one hour. Attributes.

On days when he wasn't going to the Impression Space, Peter would wander around Manhattan wearing a homemade suit. If he met anyone in need, Peter would stop and help them.

It is best to have a different code name in another world than in reality, so Peter cannot use the code name of Cobweb, so he calls himself Spider-Man, which is Spider-Man.

"What do you say?" Lucas asked.

"Peter, can he really tolerate this?" Gwen said worriedly.

"I think Peter did a pretty good job." Lucas smiled slightly. He was a little skeptical of Peter's decision at first, but after this period of observation, Lucas found that he didn't have to worry about Peter at all. He was confident about himself. His physical condition is well controlled.

Lucas looked at Gwen, "You should trust him more."

"but……"

"Peter is no longer the person you used to sacrifice yourself to protect."

"...You're right, Lucas." Gwen sighed in relief, "There is a saying in China that people who have been separated for three days should treat each other with admiration, but I didn't look at him. Maybe I should change Let’s look at the previous concepts.”

Lucas smiled and said goodbye to Gwen, looking at Peter who had been standing in the darkness.

He blinked, "Have you been listening?"

"Absolutely." Peter muttered. He pulled off his rough mask, walked over to Lucas and sat down cross-legged. He smiled bitterly and said, "I used to think that I was extremely smart and self-righteously did what I thought was right. But I didn’t expect that I was the one being protected. It’s stupid, right?”

It seems that all his intelligence is used in study and research, and very little is allocated to emotional intelligence.

"You have all helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I would have lost Uncle Ben..." Speaking of this, Peter's eyelashes trembled again.

"I...just can't watch the people I can save die..." Lucas sighed and fell into silence.

Peter's experience always reminded him of himself. He didn't realize that he was being protected and would only complain. When he really realized this, he had no chance to express it.

"Uncle Ben woke up today," Lucas said. "Tell him you love him and give him a hug."

"...Thank you, Lucas." Peter also gave Lucas a hug before leaving.

Lucas could feel Peter's trust in him.

(Star community level +1, learned Spider Sense: you can feel danger approaching.)

This feeling is very subtle. At that moment, time seems to have stopped. He can feel the gentle swaying of leaves, the vibration of flying insect wings, and the arc of splashing water droplets. These small movements are insignificant in the super strong senses. Escaped form.

"This is..." Lucas looked at his palm blankly. Is this what Eagle said about finding more contractors? ! It’s so foul!

A little blue light drifted past his eyes.

"Did you just realize this now?" The boy with black hair and golden eyes sneered, playing with the blue light in his hand.

Archipal is very short, only reaching Lucas's waist. He is obviously not very old, and his face has the baby fat unique to his age. If you ignore his mean temper, he is actually very cute. .

"Why are you here?" Lucas frowned slightly.

Archipal crossed his legs and said, "Have you forgotten the good deeds you have done? Thanks to your efforts, a gap has opened between the spiritual world and the real world. Although this day will come sooner or later, you have accelerated this just to Saving an old man who should have died at this point in time has accelerated the destruction of this world."

"Don't you regret it?" he asked.

"If you want me to make a better decision, tell me everything instead of hiding half of it." Lucas said unceremoniously.

"Tell you everything?" Archipald seemed to find it funny, suppressing a smile from his nasal voice, "You are not strong enough to know everything, and weak people are not qualified to know more."

He walked slowly to Lucas and said word by word: "Let me help you, my..."

The last words died in his throat.

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

The voice coming from the bottom of his heart made Lucas stunned, and the boy in front of him turned into countless light spots and disappeared.

Lucas stretched out his hand, and the light passed between his fingers, slowly turning into nothingness.

He didn't know why, but after meeting Archipad in real life, he always felt that he looked a bit familiar, and the outline of his facial features always felt a bit like...himself? !

Lucas shook his head.

impossible……

Before he had time to think about it, another visitor came to his door.

"Hi, Lucas." Tim smiled and glanced at Lucas's arm, which was filled with nutrient solution.

"...Hi, Tim." Lucas felt a headache.

He wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, but he was found to be severely malnourished. This was an old problem brought back from crime alley. He didn't care, but both Peter and Aunt May insisted on letting him stay a few more days. Luca Si could only be detained in the hospital for a few more days.

Tim sat beside the hospital bed, looked at Lucas with a sullen face, and sighed, "I never thought you would end up in the hospital."

"I didn't expect that." Lucas was helpless.

He looked at Tim, "So, did you find the answer?"

"It couldn't be found originally, but..." Tim smiled slightly, "You shouldn't expose all this on the Internet. The Phantom Thieves who have been very popular on the forum recently are you, right?"

Lucas suddenly realized, "You found out through Peter."

"He is a genius, but not in the computer field." Tim raised his lips and looked directly at Lucas, "So, how did you get those people to surrender?"

Although Tim could deduce from the forum that the Phantom Thieves were Lucas and his group, he couldn't figure out what their methods were. He invaded the police system and saw the information of those who surrendered. The originally heinous villain was actually crying and confessing the evil deeds he had committed. It was as if he had changed into a different person. In addition to being weird, this method also made people feel creepy. .

Forgive him for using the word creepy. If Tim hadn't still trusted Lucas, he would have used the word dangerous.

Lucas stared at Tim, and seemed to see the shadow of the little hero wearing a mask.

No, he's Robin.

There was a smile on Lucas' lips, "Just like it said in the trailer, we stole their hearts."

Tim was stunned, and a huge sense of absurdity arose spontaneously.

He asked in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

It was precisely because Tim didn't feel that Lucas was lying that it became even more difficult for him to imagine.

Lucas blinked, "I've already told you our methods."

Tim held his forehead, "...Does this count?"

Stealing your heart? How is it done?

"Forget it." Tim was not discouraged, his eyes were burning, "I will find the truth."

"Okay." Lucas nodded indulgently and changed the subject, "Why did you come to New York again this time?"

"You're not welcome?" Tim raised his eyebrows.

"How could that happen?" Lucas laughed.

"Then I'll keep it a secret too." Tim crossed his chest.

Since Damian took his place, everyone in the family has been worried about his mental state. Not only Stephanie, but also Dick came back from Blüdhaven to teach him some skills after graduating from Robinbird.

Although it was a bit strange that Jason didn't take this opportunity to laugh at him, Tim did have some ideas of his own. He wanted to start a new business like Dick.

Not only that, he also wants to establish a small group of his own, just like the Justice League. He already had ideas for the members, and the location was New York.

Originally, Tim wanted to find those little followers of heroes like himself as companions, just like Dick's Titans, but after investigating Lucas, he changed his mind.

The world always thinks that Tim is the Robin most like Batman, including himself, but in fact they are fundamentally different.

Batman wanders in gray areas and is ambiguous about many actions, but Timothy Drake, like a detective in traditional literature, always looks at things from an objective and black-and-white perspective.

If Batman knew about Lucas's abilities, he would definitely take precautions and leave a high-risk label on the Batcomputer. He would warn them not to continue to use this dangerous ability.

Although other people in the family will criticize his actions, they will ultimately not interfere for various reasons. The most essential reason is trust above all else.

But Tim doesn't. He wonders and thinks about what he should really do.

For example, he was wondering if he could win them over based on his relationship with Lucas.

This is not exploitation, but mutual benefit.

After the joke, Tim tapped his arm thoughtfully with his fingers, "Do your powers work on those supervillains?"

A flash of light flashed in his eyes, "The kind that can be done once and for all."

"It depends." Lucas leaned against the wall. "So, you are tired of the endless cycle of chasing criminals and then them constantly escaping."

Lucas doesn't blame Batman for not killing those villains. Batman doesn't have to bear the weight of his life for others. What he hates is the government that abolished the death penalty in Gotham and handed Gotham over to the villain.

Human nature is complex. If there are no strict enough laws to restrain it, human nature will show incredible malice.

Tim was silent. What did Lucas mean by his words? Could it be that he revealed his identity as Robin? Can't? !

Lucas looked at the way Tim's expression remained unchanged but his eyes kept flickering, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Yeah." Tim coughed lightly, spread his hands, and complained: "You know, since the damn law was passed, Wayne Group's stores have been purchased for zero dollars countless times. The losses are too great. It’s too big. But those heinous criminals only need to bribe doctors and issue certificates of mental illness, and they can openly escape the sanction of the law. This is really unpleasant.”

Tim's complaint was sincere, but it cleverly circumvented Lucas' temptation.

Looking at Tim who looked like a qualified entrepreneur, Lucas gave up the idea of ​​exposing his identity to his face. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how he tried to hide his identity?

"By the way, can you give me an internship certificate from Wayne Group?" Lucas asked.

"Okay, it's a piece of cake." Tim waved his hand, and he didn't even ask Lucas why he needed an internship certificate from Wayne Group.

Before leaving, Tim turned around and said finally: "Is it a tie this time?"

"Tie." Lucas nodded.

The moment they closed the door, they both thought in unison.

No, I won.

Hell's Kitchen at night.

A girl wearing a purple leather combat uniform with a belt around her waist and two capital letters "HG" on the front of the belt stormed into a gang den that had been investigated for a long time.

But to her surprise, the place was already empty.

"Huh? What's going on?" Super Killer turned the butterfly knife in her hand impatiently, "Big Daddy, there's no one here at all."

"Let me check." A steady male voice came from the earphones.

For a ten-year-old child, waiting is too boring. She almost turned the butterfly knife in Super Killer's hand into a mess before a reply came from the other end of the earphone.

"Their boss... surrendered?"

"Ah?" Super Kill Girl was shocked, "No, aren't these guys some super bad villains? Why did they surrender?"

Superkiller Girl is a little unhappy. She was only taught by her father to fight violence with violence at a young age, and her biggest feeling about this right now is that if she kills these bad guys, she will have money to buy things.

"The situation is a bit complicated..." Big Daddy skillfully entered the backstage of the police, as if he was in a deserted place, and his eyes were focused on the "confessions" of the gangsters.

"Kingpin... I finally found you."
