Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"You're Dean Thaston, right? I've heard of you for a long time, Gotham's most outstanding young genius magician."

Brock looked at Dean in front of him and said.

"Many people say that even though you are young, your proficiency in magic techniques is higher than that of many experienced magicians. You are really young and promising."

"It's just a false name, just a false name."

Dean smiled modestly.

"I heard Barbara say before that you can see through the magic-related techniques used by Kaitou Kidd when he stole?"

Brock asked curiously.

"I will try my best to see through his tactics, but if you want me to guarantee that I can see through it 100%, this may be a bit difficult."

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, kid."

Just as he was talking, Bullock suddenly reached out his hand, pinched Dean's cheek and rubbed it.

He came closer and whispered: "From Kaitou Kidd's debut to now, no one has ever been able to see through the tricks he used in the first place. Even if you don't see it, it's normal. You don't have to force yourself to do it."

Dean looked at Brock in surprise, you are quite a nice person.

Behind Dean, Dick stared intently at Brock's movements of squeezing Dean's face, his whole body tensing up, like an arrow that had already been stringed and could be fired in an instant with just an opportunity.

"Ok?"

However, Bullock's examination ended quickly and Dean was found to be fine and had not undergone any disguise.

When Dean successfully entered the exhibition hall and it was Dick's turn to be examined, others were still confused.

"What's going on? Am I overthinking it? But... still talking about Dean? But that's impossible!"

Glancing back slightly at Dick, who had a distorted face, Dean revealed a slightly smug smile.

"Dick, Dick, the game I set has already begun. Can you see through it?"

After a while, Dick, who had passed the examination, joined Dean with a strange expression.

He didn't speak, just looked at Dean with a troubled expression.

Dean pretended not to notice, looked around the exhibition hall and said, "Fortunately we came early, the place is not full yet. If it had been more than ten minutes later, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get in."

"Yes, you are right."

Dick said weakly.

"Huh? What's your expression? Why do you look weak? I've told you to stop playing with so many girls."

Upon seeing this, Dean immediately looked Dick up and down and sighed.

"Hey! You are so stupid! Who else keeps playing with multiple girls? If you are irresponsible, please stop talking nonsense."

Dick exclaimed in annoyance.

"I'm going to take a suitable position first so that I can observe the panoramic view when Kaito Kidd takes action."

Dean quickly changed the subject and walked closer to the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth.

Dick cheered up and followed Dean with solemn eyes, recalling in his mind every detail of getting along with Dean today.

"Dean was in a weird state today. First he praised Kid the Phantom Thief, and then he was surprised by Barbara's absence. He even called me Richard!"

"It's not like Dean's habit to interrupt when Gordon is talking to Bisca... All things considered, I suspect that Dean may not be Dean!"

Dick thought silently in his heart.

"But Bullock has checked his face, and he doesn't appear to be wearing a disguise mask, which means he is the real Dean, but why is he so weird today?"

"And why did Dean look nervous for a moment when he saw that he needed to pinch his face for inspection before entering the hall? What was he worried about?"

Somehow, Dick felt more and more that the good friend in front of him felt both familiar and strange.

Dick's doubts were getting more and more serious here, but Dean was completely unaware, scanning everyone in the exhibition hall with a vigilant expression.

It seems that he has fully entered the state of capturing Kaitou Kidd, putting all his attention on finding the suspicious person.

At least at this moment, Dean is acting more like a police officer or detective than Dick.

Not long after, Gordon, Bisca, and Director Aoife all entered the exhibition hall and gathered near the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth. Dozens of GCPD guards were deployed inside and outside, either in police uniforms or plainclothes, trying to The Kaito Kid was caught off guard.

Time passed little by little, the sun gradually dropped below the horizon, and night fell.

The weather is exceptionally good today, and the night sky in Gotham is rarely clear.

The half-full moon hangs in the sky, just visible through the east window of the exhibition hall.

"It's already half past seven in the evening, and there's only half an hour left before closing time. Why hasn't Kaitou Kid shown up yet?"

Some viewers were impatient and asked impatiently.

"He won't wait until after closing time to show up, right? Then we won't be able to see Kaitou Kidd's performance."

"Who knows? Maybe Kaitou Kidd didn't dare to come because there were too many people here!"

"He's starting again. He keeps slandering us Kidd. I don't want to talk to you at all, because I will definitely get slapped in the face in the end."

Not far from the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth, Dick was paying half his attention to everyone around him, while the other half was focusing on Dean next to him.

"Ah Sneeze! What is it?"

At this moment, an audience member in the crowd couldn't help but sneeze.

The spectator rubbed his nose and suddenly found a gray feather on his hand.

Just as he was wondering why there were feathers in the exhibition hall, another feather appeared in front of him, floating in the air at eye level.

The next second, more and more gray feathers appeared out of thin air, falling in every corner of the exhibition hall, as if they were endless.

"Where did these feathers come from? Damn it! There are so many of them, and the sight is so severely obstructed."

Dick clenched his fists instantly and thought through gritted teeth.

Most of his eyes were covered by countless feathers. Although he couldn't see anything, the visual discomfort was still there.

"who!"

Suddenly, Dick vaguely saw a black shadow rushing towards the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth, and immediately shouted to stop it.

boom!

Just hearing a bang, the black shadow was instantly enveloped by a cloud of smoke.

When the smoke dissipated, the black shadow had completely disappeared.

At the same time, all the countless flying feathers fell to the ground.

The whole process took less than a minute, barely thirty seconds.

Dick subconsciously looked for Dean, and when he saw that the latter was still staying in his original position, Dick breathed a sigh of relief.

"what!"

A scream suddenly sounded, and Bisca pointed to the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth with a horrified look on her face and exclaimed: "'Hope Blue Diamond' is gone!"

The expressions of everyone around them all changed, and they turned around to look. Sure enough, the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the glass cover had disappeared.

And only the diamonds were missing, and the transparent box used to place the diamonds was still inside the glass cover!

Could it be that in just thirty seconds, Kaito Kidd stole the diamond through the two-layer container?

"Look! Kaito Kidd is outside! He has a diamond in his hand!"

At this time, another exclamation sounded from the window, and everyone hurried over to follow the sound.

I only saw a white figure flying through the sky with hang gliding wings outside the window. The 'Hope Blue Diamond' in my hand looked brilliant and extremely beautiful under the moonlight.
