Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Disguise? Why do you think so?"

'Dean''s hand reaching for the glass cover paused in mid-air, and he turned back to look at Robin with a playful smile.

He pinched his face hard without tearing off anything that looked like a disguise mask, and asked.

"Can't this face be my real face? I am Dean Thaston, and Dean Thaston is Kaitou Kidd."

'Dean' raised his hands and said as if he had given up resistance completely: "How about it? How do you feel when you see that your best friend is Kaitou Kidd? Do you want to let me go for the sake of the past?"

"Stop it, Kaitou Kidd! If it were before, I might have fallen into your trap, but now I have seen through all your actions."

Robin stared at 'Dean' and sneered confidently.

"Kidd, since you know my true identity, you must have conducted a detailed investigation on me. You will naturally also know about my interpersonal network. Among them, pretending to be Dean is the best choice."

"It's a pity that you got one thing wrong from the beginning to the end, that is, Dean can never be Kaitou Kidd!"

"Oh?"

'Dean' had a look of surprise on his face at the right moment.

"During the incident at the Museum of Natural History, Batgirl and I had confirmed Dean's identity. When you showed up at the museum, he was still in his home. Unless Dean can clone himself, you are definitely not Dean!”

Hearing this, 'Dean' nodded immediately and said: "So, you have suspected that Dean Thaston is me before, and you seem to have secretly monitored him? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

'Dean' clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "You even spy on your best friend. Is this how you superheroes behave? Anyway, I can't do such a thing."

Robin's face froze, and then he snorted coldly: "These words cannot shake my determination to catch you!"

"Well, even if you are sure that Dean is not Kaitou Kidd, how can you explain my face?"

'Dean' poked his cheek, spread out his hands and said: "I have undergone two GCPD identity verifications, and they passed normally. Do I look exactly the same as Dean Saston? The world Could such a coincidence happen?"

"Harvey Bullock failed to take off your disguise mask when he checked your identity, which really made me confused. For a moment, I even had the idea of ​​whether Dean was really Kaitou Kidd. "

Robin crossed his arms and stared at 'Dean' in front of him.

"However, when I thought about your original method of using feathers to confuse our sight, I figured out how to avoid the inspection of the disguise mask."

Robin took out a gray feather from nowhere and slowly raised it.

"The feather itself is not gray, it is dyed with paint. Why do you want to dye it gray?"

He pointed toward the ceiling.

"Because the color of the ceiling happens to be gray, I guess you must have disguised yourself as an employee in the exhibition hall in advance, and took advantage of the opportunity of working to stick a large number of feathers to the ceiling. You only need to use special glue that will quickly weaken the stickiness to make it They fall off automatically after a period of time, creating the illusion that countless flight feathers appear out of thin air in the exhibition hall.”

"The reason why you only announced the date today without the specific time is because the time when the stickiness weakens is not precise enough. It can only be roughly inferred but cannot be determined, just like there are still some feathers stuck to the ceiling."

'Dean' looked up and sure enough, there were still scattered feathers stuck to the ceiling.

"I didn't expect that you would discover all this. You are worthy of being Robin."

'Dean' said with a faint smile.

"But what do feathers have to do with the face?"

"Who said feathers?" Robin curled his lips and said, "I said glue."

'Dean''s face changed slightly, and he said nonchalantly: "It's a shame you figured it out."

"Unless you and Dean are twins, it's hard for me to imagine that you two would look so similar, especially if you are both proficient in magic. It's either a very low probability of one in ten million, or it's artificially created. A false scam!”

Robin's eyes were firm and he spoke loudly.

"It's actually very simple to make the disguise mask impossible to tear off, and anyone can easily do it. Although this method is so crude that people don't believe that anyone would actually do it, but in Dean's words - —”

"The so-called magician is to do things that everyone can think of but would never think of. Whether it is simple or hypocritical, as long as it can achieve the ultimate goal, it is worth doing."

Having said this, Robin looked at 'Dean' opposite with admiration.

"Kidd, you used super glue to stick Dean's disguise mask to your face. Aren't you afraid that the skin will peel off when you peel it off?"

"You have kept your current face since just now. It's not that you don't want to take off the disguise, but that you simply can't take it off."

Clap clap clap clap!

"It's a wonderful reasoning. All the logic is so harmonious. If I say it's not the case now, I'm afraid it would be a bit ignorant."

'Dean' clapped repeatedly, suddenly crossed his hands and grabbed the clothes on his shoulders, and pulled them forward in an instant.

There was a tearing sound, and the original clothes were immediately torn off.

Instead, he wore a gorgeous white suit.

Kaitou Kidd reveals his true form!

The image is the same as before, with a white tone, a straight figure, an elegant posture, cynical eyes, and a monocle that always reflects a strange light.

"I can't bear it anymore. If I keep going like this, sooner or later I won't be able to hold back my laughter. Fortunately, my poker face is pretty good."

Dean, who put on his Phantom Thief uniform, thought to himself.

"I didn't expect that Robin would think that I had a disguise mask glued to my face. I thought he would think that 'Kid can transform and have super powers'... In short, this misunderstanding became even more serious. Come on big!”

Although he couldn't see Kaitou Kid's face clearly under the backlight of the monocle, Robin, who had confronted Kidd many times, still noticed a few differences.

The face of Kaitou Kidd in front of him seemed slightly larger than before, which was not beyond Robin's expectation.

After all, in his opinion, Kaitou Kidd was wearing an extra mask on his face at this time, and this behavior was completely normal.

"As I expected, Kaitou Kidd only used the identity of Dean from beginning to end today, which is very different from his previous changeable style. Except for some reason that prevents him from changing identities multiple times, there is no No other reason!”

Robin stared, thinking to himself.
