Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

After Raven said these words, the atmosphere in this small corner suddenly became stagnant.

Although Tim would not easily doubt Lucas because of the one-sided words of Raven, the person he met for the first time, he was still a little suspicious of the overthinking nature of his apprentice with Batman.

Lucas remained silent. Although he was aware of many problems, when he heard Raven's words, his brain went blank for a moment.

After knocking the two of them out like a depth charge was dropped, Raven continued slowly: "Look carefully, the age of the body is completely different from the age of the soul."

She looked at Lucas curiously, "How old are you this year, eight or ten?"

"To be honest." Lucas said expressionlessly, "Seventeen years old."

"No way." Raven said firmly.

"Stop!" Tim stopped the two of them, helplessly watching the two emotionless faces turn to look at him, "Let's find a convenient place to talk first. You don't want to be caught by reporters soon. Interview?"

"Well, I have to meet up with my friends," Lucas said.

"No, they can't catch me." Raven narrowed her eyes slightly, "As long as I summon monsters to tie them up..."

There seemed to be strange tentacles wriggling in the shadows under her black robe.

"Don't do that!"

The battle between the supermen has come to an end. After fighting Superboy and Colossus, Annihilus was finally defeated by the mechanical superman and left quietly.

This result made the reputation of the Mechanical Superman unlimited for a while. In addition, Superman, who claimed to have amnesia, was too seriously injured in the battle with Doomsday and accepted the alien transformation of Kryptonian technology, thus losing most of his body. memory.

This statement was untenable at first, and not many people believed it, but it was different starting today. Enthusiastic reporters interviewed the Robot Superman and spread the word about his words and deeds today.

"Lucas!"

The members of the Phantom Thieves who were waiting anxiously outside were relieved to see Lucas come out well.

"You stayed in there for too long and worried us to death." Mindy lightly hit Lucas on the shoulder.

“Sorry for making you worry.

"This is still my fault." Tim stood up and said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "If I hadn't been trapped in the Lex Building, Lucas wouldn't have been waiting there for me to come out."

"But you guys have always been together." Raven said in confusion, debunking Tim's statement very straightforwardly.

"..." Tim couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Help, I feel so tired!

"Hmm -" Harry rolled his eyes suspiciously and looked at Lucas and Tim.

"Let's go back to the hotel to talk about this first," Lucas said.

Lucas was right, they couldn't talk about this on the roadside, so the group returned to the hotel where they were resting.

The Annihilator's attack was too sudden, and coupled with the banquet full of ladies and gentlemen, everyone had nothing to eat at night and their stomachs were empty.

Harry ordered a table of late-night snacks, and everyone gathered around the table, chatting while eating.

"Actually, I was asked to come to the Lex Group to investigate Superboy," Tim said. "Luthor conducted illegal biological experiments, and we need evidence to convict him."

"But, you don't need to do such a thing yourself, right?" Harry said doubtfully.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and as the president of Wayne Group, there is no need for Tim to do such a thing.

"Well... everyone has their own hobbies, do you understand?" Tim said vaguely.

Is your hobby just sneaking into other people's companies... Harry twitched the corner of his mouth, always feeling a little disillusioned.

Tim's half-truths and half-false statements were a little difficult for Raven to understand, so she just stared at the food on the table intently and kept stuffing it into her mouth.

"So, what exactly did you find?" Lucas asked.

Lucas had asked Tim before when he was still in the Lex Building, but he was betrayed at the time. It was finally time to tell him now.

Tim sighed, "Well, don't be afraid when I tell you this."

"We are the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, we will not be afraid."

Tim said quickly, "Superboy is the son of Superman and Luthor."

The world went silent, except for the sound of Raven crunching potato chips.

"Ah?!" Peter exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible!"

"Yes... that's right." Gwen said casually, "Let's not mention the fact that they are mortal enemies. Superman and Luthor... aren't they both men?"

"Ah... We all thought that Superboy was the product of cloning, but in fact it's not that simple." Tim clicked on his watch and projected part of the information he had obtained.

"These data..." Peter frowned and analyzed.

There is no doubt that Peter is a genius in biology, but even so, he is still only a high school student, and it is still difficult to read and analyze this information.

"Sorry, I only understand that there is no technical problem with cloning Kryptonians, but the brains of these cloned creatures will eventually be underdeveloped due to special reasons..."

Peter struggled to understand the information Tim brought out, "Well...Luthor thought this was the self-protection system of Kryptonian genes, so he finally decided to use his own DNA to fuse with Superman's DNA..."

He raised his head with a complicated expression, "This is where Superboy comes from."

"So, Superboy is really the son of Superman and Luthor, genetically speaking."

"Um...I understand how you feel, Tim." Gwen sighed.

This thing sounds really scary.

"But I don't think Luther thinks of Superboy as his own son," Harry said with a frown.

He could feel that Luthor had no fatherly love for Superboy, and Luthor only looked at Superboy with scrutiny and impatience.

"He's just using him," Harry said.

"That's really too much!" Mindy waved her arm, "Superboy has been protecting him!"

"After all, from Superboy's perspective, Luthor is the most important person to him, right?" Lucas lowered his eyes and said, he was silent for a moment, then looked up at Peter, "In other words, if you want to clone Krypton Actually, star people can’t do it unless they have to be mixed with human genes, right?”

Peter nodded, "Well, at least that's the case based on this information."

Tim recalled the many deformed monsters in the laboratory and nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes."

but……

He looked at Lucas strangely, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I was just thinking..." Lucas looked at his hands and shook his head, "No, it's nothing."

There is weirdness.

Tim felt that Lucas had something on his mind, but in full view of the public, it was hard for him to ask directly, so he pretended not to notice.

"I don't think you should pay attention to a baby's emotional problems." After sweeping away all the food on the table, Raven finally spoke again: "I have more important things to tell you."

"Wait a minute." Mindy patted the table, "I just wanted to ask."

She pointed to the empty plates and garbage on the table and said, "Have you not eaten in three days?"

"And..." Mindy narrowed her eyes, "Who are you? You came back with us inexplicably?"

"Huh? Aren't you Tim's friend?"

Tim twitched his lips, "No, no, Miss Raven, I and Lucas are meeting for the first time today."

"Huh?" Gwen opened her eyes wide in surprise upon hearing this and looked at Raven, who was looking at her innocently.

Judging from her clothing, Raven must be a weirdo. She covered her body from head to toe with a black robe, and even her delicate face had to pull down the brim of her hat to cover half of it.

But when she sits down, takes off her hat, bulges her cheeks, and eats like a little hamster, you will find that she is just a young girl, like a junior high school student.

"Raven, right? Next time you can't follow the stranger you just met like this time." Gwen said, "Thankfully we are all good people, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Raven felt the concern in Gwen's words, but why, it was just the first time they met.

Raven's eyes flickered, "It doesn't matter, if I meet a bad guy, I will use him to feed my pets."

"Huh?" At this time, Gwen was also stunned.

"Miss Raven is not an ordinary person, she can do magic." Tim said.

"It turns out to be magic...wait, does magic actually exist?!"

"Yes." Tim nodded, but he thought of the man named Constantine, and couldn't help but said: "It's just that most real magicians have weird personalities, so it's best not to deal with them. "

"You know quite a lot." Mindy said in surprise, "You are indeed a rich man."

Harry pursed his lips, "This has nothing to do with whether you are rich or not." He looked at Tim, "I guess you have special information channels."

It seems like that’s too much to say…

Tim remained calm and spoke in unison, "After all, Wayne Group is the sponsor of Batman and the Justice League, so we can also get some special information from him."

"So that's the case, so it's not surprising." Harry suddenly realized.

"By the way, what does Miss Raven want to tell us?" Tim asked.

"I'm here to warn you." Raven subconsciously straightened her back and said, "There is an army of demons preparing to attack the earth."

"Army of Demons?!" Tim, who had just relaxed, jumped up again, "Are you sure this news is true?"

"It's true."

"What's the specific time? How many people are there?"

"..." Raven's expression went blank.

Tim's question confused her, her black eyes opened innocently, looking much clearer.

Seeing the confused Raven, Tim couldn't help but sigh, "You can't talk about this kind of thing, Miss Raven."

The Justice League has just lost its most powerful superman. The criminals are having a carnival and the heroes are busy catching criminals. If there are external forces coveting the earth at this time, they will undoubtedly seize this gap.

"But, I did hear..."

"Hear that?" Tim said. "Please speak clearly, Miss Raven."

Raven shrank her neck and stopped talking. She grabbed Lucas' arm and hid behind him.

Lucas turned his head, looked into those dark eyes for a few seconds, and said helplessly to Tim: "Why don't we forget it first?"

"No, if what she said is true..."

"It's true." Raven stuck out his head and said with certainty.

"If what you said is true, please tell me everything clearly, okay?" Tim softened his voice.

Raven retreated behind Lucas again.

"Let me ask." Lucas said.

Tim didn't know where he had offended Raven, but the girl seemed to be very repulsive to him, so there was nothing he could do.

"Please, Lucas," he said helplessly.

It's getting late now, it's time to rest.

Tim opened another room in the hotel where they were staying. Although he cared about what Raven said, the most important thing at the moment was to send the information back to the Batcave.

So, Tim, who said he wanted to go to bed early, made another cup of coffee and prepared to stay up late.

[TD: File transfer completed.

B: Received.

B: Continue to be on standby in Metropolis. ]

That's it?

Batman's attitude was a bit beyond Tim's expectations, but for him, this can be considered a good thing.

After all, his Young Justice League is missing a superhuman attacker.

However, if Superboy is under Luthor's care, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be affected by his paranoid sense of value, so it is necessary to make Superboy realize that Lex Luthor is not a good person...

Tim paused while drinking his coffee.

No, does Superboy know that Luther is actually his biological father?

Superboy on the other side couldn't sleep either. The wounds from today's battle were still aching. This was the first time he had hidden the feeling of defeat.

The boy was lying on the rooftop of the Lex Building, staring at the full moon in the sky, with so many thoughts in his mind.

Luther is not a good person, and this is not the first day he has known this.

Luthor did not restrict his actions, so just go online and you will know what Luthor did to kill Superman, but he has never had a real sense of it.

Until today, when Macy, the secretary who had always been by Luther's side, was pushed out to block the attack by him without hesitation, Superboy had a little sense of reality.

It turns out that Luther is really not a good person.

"Alas..." He sighed, feeling that he was a bit pretentious. After all, Lex Luthor was his boss, and in that critical situation, it seemed understandable to do so.

Today's battle must have disappointed Lex.

Superboy was lost in thought.

If he said he was in poor condition, he would definitely call it an excuse, but really, he felt faint fatigue coming from his body during the press conference, but it was regarded as an illusion at the time.

If... if it were my usual abilities...

In fact, it can't be beaten. That Annihilator is really strong.

It's just... what's going on with that feeling of weakness, as if you've encountered kryptonite?
