Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Tim had never known what it felt like to be wanted by the entire city, but now he did.

Sirens were ringing in my ears all the time, police cars were dispatched, aircraft were patrolling the streets, and helicopters illuminated every dark alley with searchlights.

"Huh..." Tim gasped and leaned against the wall. The cloth tied around his calf was stained red with blood. During the continuous transfer, his wounds cracked in countless places, and he began to suffer from excessive blood loss in front of his eyes. The resulting dark spots.

Tim didn't want to conflict with the Gotham Police Department of this world, but he didn't expect the GCPD to be so powerful and almost turned him into a rat in the gutter.

"Really, what kind of evil things have I done in this world?" Tim complained sadly and angrily.

When had Tim ever been treated like this, especially when he showed his true colors to others? He was the heir of the Drake family, the adopted son of the Wayne family, and the president of the Wayne Group. How had he ever been wronged like this?

A white light enveloped him again.

"Find the target, find the target, find the target."

The announcement from the helicopter once again announced his location.

"Damn it." Tim stood up and planned to change places.

"boom"

A figure collided with the helicopter above his head, and a violent explosion occurred. The aircraft ignited billowing black smoke and fell to the ground crookedly.

This unexpected development surprised Tim, "What happened?"

Even though these GCPD were still tracking him a second ago, Tim didn't hate them. He also saw his wanted order on the screen. The police were just fulfilling their duties. It was himself in this world who really did the wrong thing. This point, Mu still understands it very well.

I have to go and see what's going on. Tim thought.

Lucas emerged from the ruins of the helicopter with a gray face.

"I'm so numb, Lucas!" Hope in his arms was as disgraced as him, "Why don't you just hit me!"

"Sorry." Lucas apologized, "I couldn't control myself."

When he saw Tim's shadow, Lucas knew that this was Tim's palace? It doesn't seem right to say otherwise, but it's a similar place anyway.

Tim deeply understands the function of kryptonite, and does not think that there is such a thing in Lucas, so he has created Lucas's current combat power.

It's just that it takes a certain amount of time for Lucas to control super power.

"Lucas?"

"Tim!" After hearing Tim's words, Lucas's eyes lit up, "I finally found you!"

"Although I really want to know what all this is about, I'd better change places now." Tim said helplessly as he listened to the sirens getting closer and closer.

"Well, let's go."

With Lucas here, Tim could finally stop being burdened by his injured leg. He lay on Lucas' back and whispered instructions to Lucas.

Although the style of Gotham here is subtly different, the roughly functional blocks are exactly the same. They came to an abandoned subway passage.

"Huh... no one will be here for a while."

"Let's get some treatment first." Lucas looked at his blood-stained calf with a not pretty expression.

"I'll do it." Hope summoned her persona to treat Tim.

The wound was slightly itchy and felt obviously healed, and the pain soon disappeared.

"All right."

"Here?" Tim tore open the red cloth. Except for some residual blood stains, his calf was indeed healed. "This is amazing!"

"It's time to tell me everything now, right?" He turned to look at Lucas.

"Of course." Lucas simply said the current situation.

Tim's expression was calm throughout, not even interrupting Lucas. When he finished speaking, he sighed quietly.

"That's what happened."

Tim had already made some guesses about the Phantom Thieves, but he never imagined that he could actually enter someone else's heart! There are also all kinds of different spaces... The world is really magical.

"So I'm in my palace now?" Tim asked reluctantly, "But I have nothing to do with the Joker."

"Probably not." Lucas recalled the state of the shadow. "It's more like he has his own life, not just your shadow."

"That is to say, I have never been injected with the clown virus..." As he spoke, Tim's expression became heavy, "Injected with the clown virus... I can't even imagine what the results will be. ”

"It's getting crazy." Hope sighed.

In fact, it can be seen from the policemen who chased after him after discovering him. Tim didn't even want to imagine it.

"He said he wanted to replace you," Lucas said.

"Well..." Tim's expression was complicated, "Judging from what you said, his world may be entering the dark universe, and the world will be destroyed... If it were me, I would definitely find a way to do something. of."

"It sounds like..." Hope was a little confused.

"No, I didn't say that to defend my other self." Tim shook his head, "Anyway, Lucas, can you take me to see him?"

"Meet him? But..." Lucas was stunned, "I don't think he would be willing to communicate with him."

"Then why would he tell you my current situation?" Tim sighed, "I'm afraid...forget it, take me to see him first."

Super hearing came into play at this moment. Among the countless heartbeats, two identical heartbeats sounded so special.

"I know where he is."

Tim looked at Lucas deeply and said, "Let's go then."

With the help of Lucas, Tim disguised himself sufficiently so that at least he would not be recognized when being scanned by aircraft on the road.

"This is... ACE Chemical Plant." Tim, who was extremely familiar with Gotham, quickly recognized this place.

Compared with Gotham, which has changed a lot, this long-abandoned chemical plant has almost no changes from the original, and it feels strangely more familiar.

"He's here?" Tim asked.

"Yes."

Tim pursed his lips. The ACE Chemical Factory didn't sound surprising, but it actually had a lot of history, because this was the place where the Joker was born.

Why does the other self stay here? Tim walked into the chemical plant.

"You're here, another me."

The shadow leaned against the railing, looking at Tim. Under him was the bubbling chemical barrel, just like the original Joker.

"Hahaha, it's like a fateful meeting, right?"

"I want to know what you really think." Tim looked directly into those golden eyes.

"What are your real thoughts? Didn't your Kryptonian partner tell you?" Shadow tilted his head and smiled maliciously, "I want you to die~"

Shadow laughed loudly, suddenly raised his hand, and pointed a gun directly at Tim.

"Tim!" Lucas immediately stood in front of Tim.

"bang~"

Shadow himself dubbed the gun, and then a small flag popped up from the muzzle.

"Hahaha, it's just a joke~" Shadow casually threw the toy gun into the chemical barrel underneath. The corrosive liquid dissolved the toy gun almost instantly.

"There's no need to talk at all..." Tim's face turned ugly. The series of actions he had just performed on the other side were indeed no different from those of a clown.

"That's it~" Shadow shrugged, "You want to leave here, right? Then kill me! Hahaha, kill me to get out of here~"

The shadow laughed loudly, and its figure gradually distorted, turning into a big mechanical eye that broke through the ceiling of the factory and floated in the air, flashing with a terrifying red light.

"Come on, second round." The mechanical sound filled with electric current came from all directions, and his eyes narrowed viciously.

"Hope, protect Tim." Lucas said in a deep voice.

"Lucas, you..." Tim hesitated.

"Tim, he is your shadow, so the key to breaking the situation still lies with you. Think about it carefully, I believe you."

After Lucas finished speaking, he tapped the ground with his toes and flew into the air.

Sigurd appeared behind him with a fluttering red scarf tied around his neck, but this time, the persona that had been with Lucas from the beginning turned out to be a bit illusory.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ but in the end it's still a battle between us~" the shadow said, "Why do you want to protect me in the main world so much? In fact... you are not from the main world either, right?"

"It has nothing to do with you," Lucas said coldly.

Tim's transformation into the Joker caused great irritation to Lucas, which also made him quite cold and defensive.

"Hey, you're still pretending, I've seen through you a long time ago." Shadow sneered, "Garbage from the dark universe."

"Boom"

Lucas stared at the shadow from a defensive stance, "Oh."

Lucas's indifference really surprised Shadow. Looking at this face so close, a string of data flowed in front of his eyes, constantly analyzing the person in front of him, but all that came out were just question marks. .

Injected with the Joker virus and becoming the second-generation Joker, he once caused his world to almost fall into a dark universe. It was because of this that he recognized the almost imperceptible dark aura of Lucas.

But even though he had been extremely close, he had never personally entered the dark universe, and he had no understanding of it.

Kryptonite has proven to be useless, so now if he wants to kill himself in the main world, he must go through the Kryptonian in front of him.

"Think about it..." Tim repeated Lucas's words, but smiled bitterly.

He is a smart man, but in this clueless situation, what can he think of?

"Actually, I have a question." Hope looked at Tim, "Why didn't you get a persona in this situation?"

"Personality... does it mean that you use it like a stand-in?"

"Yes."

"What are the requirements for obtaining a Persona?" Tim asked.

Tim's question immediately made Hope stuck, "Well...it seems that everyone is different."

"Huh? What exactly?"

"Lucas and Peter had personas before I met them. Gwen and Mindy seemed to have acquired them suddenly when they were very angry. Harry is even more special. He was born because of one of Lucas's Props.”

"Props!" Tim's eyes lit up, "What props?"

"A gun, you have to shoot yourself." Hope said, "This condition is very harsh. It is said that you must have the courage to defeat death."

"In this way..." Tim sighed after hearing this request. It's not that he doesn't have the courage, but now he doesn't dare to gamble at all. If he fails, then the guy who wants to replace him won't Did you make it!

"After all, what was I thinking?"

"Haha, can't you even understand what you are thinking, Derek?" A familiar mean voice sounded in his ears.

When Tim heard this voice, he subconsciously made a defensive posture, but he soon realized it and looked at the short figure in shock, "Damian, why are you here?!"

Archipad, no, it should be said that Damian from another world looked at Tim in this world with hatred, his eyes full of disgust.

He and Tim have always looked down upon each other, but in his world, even such daily fights no longer exist...

No, now is not the time to think about that.

"You want to know about that shadow?"

"You know, Damian?" Tim noticed that the Damian in front of him seemed different from the Damian in his own world. Could he be from that world too?

"TT." Archipald smacked his mouth.

Tim relaxed slightly when he heard this familiar mantra.

"In that world, you were a second-generation clown."

Tim immediately tensed up.

"Dick is dead, Jason is crippled, and you are crazy." Archipald simply summarized the situation of the Bat family in that world.

"How could..." Tim's lips trembled. Although he realized that the situation in that world would not be too good, he did not expect it to be so bad.

"What about you, how are you, Damian?" He looked at Archipald.

Archipald didn't expect that Tim would still think of him. After all, the relationship between them had always been bad.

So he said calmly, "I don't exist in that world."

"Then Bruce..." Tim was not happy. His original intention of becoming Robin was to help Batman who lost Robin. How could Batman not have Robin by his side? However, the Bruce of that world lost every Robin in him.

"This is not the worst situation." Archipald's expression did not change. "Batman cheered up and finally found a suitable successor. This universe did not enter the dark universe."

There's nothing worse than Batman himself going dark. Archipald's eyes were full of numbness, but he would not show his vulnerability to the Drake of this world.

"That's good." Tim breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Archipal, "Then how did you know..."

The child who had been standing there had disappeared.
