Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Bruce!"

Seeing this man, Dick immediately shouted his name in surprise.

I saw a strong man sitting on the sofa with his upper body naked. His muscular body was covered with countless scars. Just looking at it was enough to make people scared.

This man's name is Bruce Wayne. He is a super-rich man with vast amounts of property, a caped crusader active in the darkness, and a source of lingering fear in the hearts of Gotham criminals.

He is Batman.

There are several wounds on Bruce's body that are very new and should have been injured for no more than three days. Even now, blood is still oozing out.

At this time, Alfred was carefully applying medicine and bandaging to Bruce.

Next to the sofa was a pile of old blood-stained bandages that had obviously been removed from Bruce's body not long ago.

Alfred's face was full of worry and helplessness, and he seemed to have endless words of persuasion in his heart, but in the end he still didn't speak.

His method of treating wounds was quite sophisticated. He applied the medicine in three strokes and then wrapped a new bandage.

"When did you come back?"

Dick walked to the front of the sofa and asked Bruce with concern: "You were injured a lot this time. Do you feel okay?"

"As a mortal fighting with a group of gods, and even leading them, I know very well how difficult it is. Bruce, you'd better take a good rest at home..."

"Dick."

Suddenly, Bruce's plain voice sounded, and his emotional fluctuations could not be heard from his tone.

"I heard from Alfred that a criminal named Kaito Kidd appeared in Gotham during this time, and you failed every time you hunted him down?"

Hearing this, Dick's face froze, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"I knew you would definitely ask about this."

Dick nodded and admitted: "Yes, Kaitou Kidd is very smart. I only just barely see through his plan every time, but in the end I still fall into his trap."

"So, in the past few months when Kaito Kidd was active, how far has your investigation of him progressed?"

Bruce continued to ask.

"What's Kaito Kid's real name?"

Dick fell silent.

"How old is Kaitou Kidd?"

"……do not know."

"Kid's motive for committing the crime?"

"..."

"Appearance? Personality? Living environment? Suspect?"

Facing Dick, who didn't know anything about it, Bruce's tone began to worsen.

"What have you been doing these past few months? Do you know how many crimes occur in this city every night? Do you know how many crimes occur when you waste your time catching a performance art thief? Innocent people desperately need your help!"

"I had high hopes for you when I left, believing that you would protect Gotham, but your answer was that you couldn't even deal with a thief? You even made a thief become the superstar of Gotham? This is yours As?"

Bruce asked with a cold face.

"Master Bruce!"

Alfred next to him couldn't stand it, and said: "Don't be too harsh on Master Richard, he has already done a good job."

"And one thing you don't know is that the appearance of Kaito Kidd has caused the overall crime rate in Gotham to show a downward trend. To some extent, his existence may be a good thing."

"Afu, are you saying that the appearance of a criminal can make the city a better place? I can't believe you would say such ridiculous things."

Bruce had a look of clear disbelief on his face.

"I would rather believe that it is the GCPD's fault."

"Kaitai Kidd is not as simple as you think!"

Dick frowned and raised his voice in response. Bruce's questioning words not only did not overwhelm Dick, but instead aroused his resistance.

"Kid is proficient in disguise and magic. He can change his voice without props. He is good at using a pistol that shoots playing cards. He can also make homemade flash bombs, smoke bombs, tear gas and other non-lethal weapons. He is good at formulating a series of rigorous action plans. , and has extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capability.”

"Bruce, you've never seen Kaito Kidd, so you may not know how powerful his disguise is. Trust me, it's definitely no worse than Clayface."

Dick said seriously.

"I tried to track down Kaitou Kidd and checked all the surveillance cameras in Gotham. At first I could still find some traces of Kaitou Kidd, but do you know what the final result will be?"

"Every time! Every time I lost his whereabouts in the middle of the process! He would deliberately sneak into places with less surveillance and more pedestrians, and then he would never be found again! Because he would disguise himself several times in a row, and in a blink of an eye He can cross-dress from head to toe several times with his skills! There is no way to know who he is after the cross-dressing. Even if I find out what he looks like after the cross-dressing, when I look for him I find that the person is not Kaitou Kidd at all!"

"Kidd has never used his real appearance or voice, and has never left any clues at the scene. Fingerprints, bloodstains, hair, skin flakes... none of these, not even the Kidd cloak I collected. Not a single bit of useful information was detected.”

"I have also targeted several suspects who are most likely to be Kaitou Kidd, but whether it is surveillance, eavesdropping or even house searches, I have used all the methods I can use, but in the end they are not Kaitou Kidd!"

"Bruce, Phantom Thief Kidd has never killed anyone, nor committed a terrorist attack, nor does he have any strong power. Maybe in your eyes, he is just an insignificant thief who likes to perform performance art."

Dick said with a serious face.

"But you haven't seen what kind of changes his appearance has brought to this city. I insist on believing that he is a person with good nature. Indeed, what Kaitou Kidd did is wrong and may lead others to imitate him." It’s misguided, but that’s why I should pay more attention to Kaitou Kidd.”

"He is definitely not an easy opponent. What I hope is for him to become one of us, not just to arrest him."

Hearing Dick's words, Bruce glanced at him lightly, and then said.

"Have you seen the news about the 'Bat Monster' on the Upper West Side?"

"I know there is such a thing. The case Barbara is investigating seems to be related to this."

Dick was stunned when he heard this, and then continued.

"Barbara was attacked last night and she's lying in a hospital room at Gotham General Hospital."

Bruce said expressionlessly.

"Just when you're looking at Kaitou Kidd, she's fighting that 'bat monster' all by herself!"

After saying that, Bruce stood up from the sofa and walked out of the house.

"Come to the Batcave, Dick. There's only one thing you need to do tonight, and that's to do as you're told."

Only Alfred and Dick were left.
