Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Gotham High.

Dean watched the entire process of Wayne's press conference and fell into a long silence.

"Bruce is Batman, so a challenge from Bruce can be seen as a challenge from Batman."

"So does that mean...I was hooked up by Batman?"

Dean suddenly felt a little stressed.

In the previous life, there was an unspoken rule in the DC world that was extremely popular, that is, never make a fight with Batman. Even people who have never read DC comics may have heard of this sentence.

After Dean traveled through time, although this idea was not popular in Gotham, everyone knew that if you messed with Batman, it would definitely not end well.

To be honest, if we think rationally based on the various supernatural deeds boasted by Batman fans that Dean learned about in his previous life, Dean's best response now is to simply pretend not to know and deal with it coldly.

Batman will win in a fight?

Then if I don’t date him, it’s over!

Dean couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed a genius.

but! Sometimes, the pros and cons cannot just be looked at as simple superficial issues.

If Dean really chose to ignore Bruce's open challenge to him, it would mean that he had admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was afraid of Batman, and the impact on the soul would be immeasurable.

Not only that, but the image of the fearless and romantic Phantom Thief that Dean has worked so hard to create will also be destroyed.

All the hard work he had put in over the years had become a joke.

Dean couldn't accept this result anyway.

Since Dean had chosen to make waves in Gotham as Kaitou Kidd, Dean had to carry it out to the end. Being targeted by Batman was already expected, so how could he back down?

Bruce, no, Batman's challenge, Dean accepted!

Not only does he have to take on this challenge, he also has to defeat Batman!

Ahem, of course it was not about winning in a fight, but about successfully stealing the ocean gem from Atlantis in full view of the public and then escaping smoothly.

Having said that, to say that Dean wasn't nervous at all would definitely be lying to himself.

Ever since he watched the live broadcast of the press conference, his brain had been running wildly all the time, thinking about what kind of plan he should use to steal the gems under Batman's nose.

In this way, time passed little by little, and soon it was time for school to end.

Jingle Bell--

The bell rang, and the students in the classroom began to pack their schoolbags and leave the classroom.

"Yawn~"

At this time, Dean, who was deep in thought, heard a yawn behind him.

I saw Dick at the back table slowly waking up from his sleep, stretching and yawning.

"Good guy, he slept from school to the end of school."

Dean then remembered that Dick had started to sleep right after the first class, because he was so busy thinking about meeting Batman's challenge today that he didn't notice that Dick had fallen asleep until now.

There were so many classes throughout the day, so many bells ringing, as well as the sound of the teacher's lectures and the chatter between classmates, all combined, it didn't wake Dick up.

Dean really wanted to ask him how he developed this skill.

"Is the class going? Dean? Why is there suddenly no one in the classroom?"

Dick, who had just woken up, was still a little confused and looked at the somewhat empty classroom and asked blankly.

"...Because this class has been temporarily modified, it is basketball class time now, and I was about to wake you up."

Dean said seriously.

"Uh, can you explain why you need to bring a school bag to basketball class?"

Dick asked suspiciously, looking at the schoolbag he had just packed on Dean's desk.

"I am diligent and studious."

Dick couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, it's not like I don't have a watch. Don't try to trick me with such a kid's trick... ah?"

When Dick looked at his watch, he was shocked to find that the hour and minute hands showed eight-twenty, and it was obviously daytime. It couldn't be eight o'clock in the evening at this time, but could only be eight o'clock in the morning.

"Look, I just said the first class was changed to basketball."

Dean said with an I-told-you-so expression.

For a moment, Dick almost wondered if it was really time to change basketball classes as Dean said.

Fortunately, Dick's sanity quickly returned to consciousness. The hazy feeling he had just woken up from was gone forever, and he immediately discovered something fishy.

"No! Looking at the direction of the sun and the lighting conditions outside, it's clearly around four in the afternoon."

Thinking of this, Dick immediately glanced at Dean angrily and said, "You are boring, why are you adjusting my watch when you have nothing to do, just to deceive me?"

"It's not boring, it's quite interesting."

Dean chuckled.

"By the way, I slept all day and no teacher came to call me?"

Then, Dick scratched his head and asked.

"Haha, I'm kidding. Which teacher dares to call you that? If you violate other school rules, maybe someone will take care of you. Sleeping? I'm afraid they don't want you to sleep."

Dean curled his lips disdainfully.

"Okay, you're the only one who talks a lot, so hurry up and leave."

Since Dick hadn't opened his schoolbag today, there was no need for Dean to wait for him to pack it up, he just picked up the bag and left.

The two left the school to say goodbye to each other and returned home.

When night came, they all left their homes.

A few hours later, night fell.

Knights Stadium.

In the middle of the green football field, a huge searchlight taller than a person stands on the lawn.

There is a dark bat logo in the center of the front of the searchlight. When the searchlight is turned on, part of the light will be blocked, and a striking bat logo will be reflected when it is shined into the sky.

This is Gotham's most fascinating and important symbol - the bat lantern.

At this moment, a dozen meters away from the bat lantern, there is a circle of cameras, filming the bat lantern from 360 degrees without blind spots, and uploading it to the live broadcast website just launched by Wayne Group in real time.

This work has never stopped since Bruce put the ocean gem into the bat logo at the press conference.

As Bruce said, the live broadcast must be guaranteed 24 hours a day, until Kaid Kidd comes to meet the challenge and steal the ocean gem, it will always be in the Bat Lantern.

In a circle behind the camera, a group of reporters and paparazzi were waiting for Kidd to appear.

No one knew when Kidd would arrive, so they had to alternate shifts.

Further outside is the football field. There are many security guards and police here, standing in a circle around the track outside the football field. It can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

The general audience who wanted to watch Bruce challenge Kaitou Kidd were arranged in the auditorium outside the sports stadium. This could effectively prevent Kaitou Kidd from taking advantage of the crowd, and at the same time satisfy the audience's need to enjoy Kaitou Kidd's performance. It will not cause dissatisfaction among the masses.

But maybe it’s because the press conference was just held this morning, and it hasn’t been widely spread yet, and the fermentation time is not enough. As a result, there are not many ordinary viewers who come tonight, only a little more than the number of reporters.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sound came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw dozens of white triangular hang gliding wings flying in the sky at some point.

The shape of the hang glider is too familiar to them. It is a flying prop often used by Kaitou Kidd!

What was different from before was that there were no dummies or Kaito Kidd underneath these dozens of hang gliders, just empty hang gliders.

As for what these gliders are used for, you can only ask Kaitou Kidd himself.

I saw dozens of hang gliders flying randomly over the stadium, and the people watching were dazzled.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

Without warning, all the gliders exploded at the same time, and billowing white smoke almost filled the entire sky.

Immediately afterwards, an ethereal and elegant voice sounded from all directions, it was the voice of Kaitou Kidd.

"Good evening fellow journalists, I'm here today by invitation..."
