Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Kurt's laboratory is similar to his home. It is very simple. None of the high-tech equipment that looks like super black technology can be seen here.

There aren't even surveillance cameras inside.

There are more than a dozen tables arranged haphazardly in the laboratory, two of which contain computers and monitors, and the remaining tables are filled with all kinds of weird and colorful solutions and test tubes, as well as microscopes and the like.

In a circle around the table, there were several large blackboards, filled with dense letters and symbols.

Oddly enough, Dean knew every character when they were taken out, but after they were arranged like this, he couldn't understand them at all.

In the corner of the laboratory, there are dozens of small square iron cages piled up. Most of the iron cages are empty, and the remaining dozen or so cages are all filled with bats.

It is not difficult to imagine that these are the sources of bat DNA samples when Kurt studied the serum.

The entire laboratory looks like a biochemical laboratory commonly seen on TV.

Of course, it would not be wrong to say that it was an alchemy room used by evil wizards to make potions, and it might even be more appropriate.

Dean walked into the laboratory and looked around cautiously.

"There's no one inside. It seems Batman and Robin went to Kurt Francine's house first."

After confirming that there was no one in the lab except himself, Dean breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long ago, he eavesdropped on the information that the 'Bat Monster' was most likely Kurt Langstone in Robinson Park.

Later, because Dean did not have Kurt's address information, he came to the laboratory at an open location.

The reason why Kurt disclosed the location of the laboratory can be understood after looking at the environment in the laboratory.

poor.

Researching DNA serum is not something that happens overnight, and it requires a lot of investment. Kurt's savings alone are not enough. The rental expenses of the laboratory in the past few years alone have consumed more than half of his budget.

Of course, Kurt wanted to attract investment for himself, so the location of the laboratory and early experimental results were naturally made public.

It's a pity that so far, no company wants to invest money in Kurt's project.

Dean walked around the laboratory, looking around at the pile of strange test tube solutions with unknown functions on the table.

"Huh? This is..."

Suddenly, Dean noticed three special test tubes standing on the table in the center. One of them was empty, and the other two were three-quarters full of bright red liquid, which was quite viscous.

It looks like the blood of some kind of animal.

There is also a note on the test tube that says 'human-bat DNA mixed serum'.

"Man-bat serum, is this what turned Kurt Langstone into a monster?"

Dean thought to himself.

At this moment, Dean suddenly remembered the sound of the system's announcement.

"If a special agent that can tamper with DNA is detected, you can choose to let the system absorb the sample. After the absorption is completed, a new exchange item 'Reverse Man Bat Suppression Inhibitor' will be generated in the mall."

"Inverse Man-Bat Inhibitor: It can inhibit the effects of the Man-Bat Serum, allowing people whose DNA has been tampered with by the serum to return to normal. However, the effect cannot be permanent. If a person who has returned to normal is injected with the Man-Bat Serum again, the DNA will still be tampered with. "

"Worth 500 wow points."

Dean was stunned for a moment by the sudden system prompt.

What's happening here?

If you absorb the human bat serum into the system, can you exchange it for the reverse human bat inhibitor in the mall?

I didn't expect that the system's detection and absorption function could be used in such an extended way.

Dean's eyes rolled, thinking about the pros and cons.

Gotham's latest supervillain, the giant bat-monster, is actually Kurt Langstone, a genetically mutated scientist.

As far as the information Dean has learned so far, he only knows that Kurt is now a bat monster, and his possible abilities include flying, strange strength, and emitting and receiving ultrasound waves.

He wasn't sure what type of villain Kurt's character belonged to, whether it was like Two-Face who was completely darkened by an accident, or whether he was like Penguin who had endless terrifying ambitions, or whether he was like Killer Croc. Generally, they embark on a road of no return because their image is not accepted by human society.

But no matter which one it is, in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Gotham, it is inevitable to bump into each other sometimes.

The most important thing is that Kurt is different from the other villains Dean knows. This is a new villain that has never appeared before, and Dean knows nothing about him.

Like Two-Face, The Riddler, Mad Hatter, Penguin, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Ventriloquist... most of these old villains are either retiring in Arkham Asylum or vacationing in Blackgate Penitentiary.

Only a few supervillains, including the Penguin, are still active outside.

The above people have long been public information in Gotham. Everyone in Gotham knows what their abilities and weaknesses are, and Dean is no exception.

When you encounter them unexpectedly, not to mention whether you can take advantage of their weaknesses, at least you won't be blinded.

This is also the fundamental reason why Dean took the initiative to investigate Kurt Langstone at this time. He had to master the core information.

Like before, Dean had not debuted as Kaitou Kidd, and his abilities in all aspects were not enough. He could only get information about super villains through media reports, but the information obtained in this way could not be very detailed. In comparison, general.

The situation is different now. Dean can barely be considered a super criminal. Of course, the way to obtain information cannot be just reading newspapers as before.

The system's prompt was unexpected and reasonable. After all, there was a precedent for the 'Stone of Doom' before, so Dean was not particularly surprised by this.

"System, absorb a dose of human-bat serum."

Dean picked up a test tube of human-bat serum and called the system in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the serum in the test tube on his hand began to decrease little by little, as if it had been sucked away by something invisibly.

Soon, the test tube originally filled with bright red liquid turned into a transparent test tube.

"Absorption of Man-Bat Serum is completed... Inverse Man-Bat Inhibitor is being generated... The estimated generation time is two minutes and thirty seconds..."

thump! thump!

At this moment, Dean's ears suddenly moved, and he vaguely heard the sound of some kind of flapping wings, coming from outside the laboratory!

He quickly looked around the laboratory, and then left the place silently.

bump!

Ten seconds later, the laboratory door was violently destroyed.

A huge humanoid bat monster rushed in, and immediately flew towards a table filled with unknown reagents.

I just don't know why, but the way he flies is shaky, as if he's drunk.

"Naloxone...I remember naloxone should be placed here..."

The man-bat rummaged frantically on the table, and the dizziness in his head became stronger and stronger.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the back of the man-bat's head...
