Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"You shouldn't have figured out Kaitou Kid's method, right? It only took one night?"

Looking at the sand table made by Bruce, Dick suddenly thought of something and showed an incredible expression.

"I came up with three different ways to achieve a similar effect, but only one is of reference value."

Bruce spoke, confirming Dick's thoughts.

"I've said it before, you should find time to improve your detective reasoning skills instead of just acting recklessly every day. If you were smarter than Kaitou Kidd, you wouldn't always lose to him."

Dick's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

To be honest, Dick's thinking ability is already very strong. At least judging from his age and series of achievements, he is a young elite with genius-level intelligence.

Although he often seems to be a step too slow in his actions against Kaito Kid, it is undeniable that Dick can finally reflect Kid's true plan in every incident, except for some special parts.

Don't think that this is an afterthought, because most people can't even see the shallow plot of Kaitou Kidd, and they are led by the nose every time.

At some point, Dick could even ambush Kaitou Kidd in turn. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, at least he had a chance to set up an ambush.

Kaito Kidd's superb disguise and voice-changing skills allow him to have an excellent first move, and his proficiency in magic gives him a certain advantage in misleading others' psychology.

To sum up, even those who are smarter than Kaitou Kidd may not be able to see Kidd's overall plan in time.

It's actually not easy for Dick to do that.

However, in Bruce's mouth, he was said to be an impulsive and reckless brainless person who was either bad at this or bad at that. It was as if Dick had endless thorns in his body and problems that could not be corrected.

Since Dick became Robin, Bruce has become more and more demanding on him in the past few years, and the faults have become more and more frequent, which often makes Dick feel uncomfortable.

And this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that Dick has no way to refute Bruce, because Bruce can surpass him in all aspects, and Bruce can do everything Dick cannot do.

So when these words came out of Bruce's mouth, there was no sense of dissonance at all.

On the other hand, can Dick do what Bruce can't?

At least for now, no.

Perhaps the creation of the Teen Titans may become one of Dick's most important feats, but Bruce is also the founding pillar of the Justice League, and even part of the reason for the birth of the Teen Titans was to emulate the Justice League.

Therefore, in front of Bruce, Dick really has nothing to praise.

This also deepened Dick's inner resentment towards Bruce.

Dick sighed helplessly, not wanting to discuss this matter with Bruce in depth. He brought the topic back to the original sand table and pointed at the sand table as if he hadn't heard anything.

"So...how did Kaitou Kidd make the Bat Lantern disappear that day? Do you plan to use this to simulate the entire process?"

Dick pinched his chin and asked. He himself was actually very curious about Kid Robber's method. He had done a lot of simulations secretly and was close to success several times, but it was difficult to achieve perfect results.

"Also - why use a sandbox to simulate in such a retro way? Doesn't the Batcave have virtual projection technology?"

“Because it’s more intuitive to use this.”

Bruce replied calmly.

"Uh, okay, you have the final say. You just said you thought of three different ways to make Kaitou Kidd make the Bat Lantern disappear. What three are they?"

Dick continued to ask.

Bruce took out a small white cloth model and held it between his thumb and forefinger. It was obviously the white cloth that Kidd used to cover the bat lamp before, and it was also an important part of Kidd's technique.

"The first way is to assume that Kaitou Kidd has mastered some kind of space transfer technology, such as the sonic blast channel of the mother box or future technology, which may come from the 30th century or the 64th century. The carrier medium of this space technology may be other unidentified The object I noticed might be this piece of cloth.”

Bruce expressed his first guess with a serious expression.

Dick: "..."

How should I put it, Bruce’s words are by no means alarmist, nor are they whimsical, but are actual objective facts.

For example, the Flash in Central City often goes to the 30th century for vacation, and occasionally brings back some "specialties." The Flash's old enemy Reverse Flash traveled directly from the 25th century.

In addition, it is said that Superman once visited the 31st century, and what superhero legion did he join? Dick didn't know the details, but that was what happened.

Even Dick himself has met someone from the 64th century, a future magician named Abra Cadabra, who was a supervillain who fought against the Teen Titans' Kid Flash.

He is said to be a magician, but he uses incredible future technologies, which are more magical than magic, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Taken together, it seems reasonable to imagine that Kaitou Kidd may also possess some kind of space technology.

However, Dick, who thought he knew something about Kaito Kidd, still felt that this was impossible.

"The second way is that Kaito Kidd appears to be a magician, but in fact he masters magic. The white cloth is his magic prop."

At this point, Bruce paused, glanced at Dick and said: "I know what you are thinking, Dick, the possibility of these two methods being true is very small, but it is definitely not zero!"

"The Zatala family has been working as magicians for generations, just to conveniently cover up their research on magic. No one can guarantee whether the same is true for Kaitou Kidd."

"Have you forgotten Kadabra? When he came here from the 64th century, he started by pretending to be an ordinary magician. No one could tell that he was using future technology. You can be % sure. Isn’t that the case with Kaitou Kidd?”

Bruce's calm question left Dick lost in thought.

Yes, it seems that he is not 100% sure that Kaito Kidd must be using normal modern magic, because it is too simple to use magic or future technology to disguise it as modern magic, and Dick will never be able to tell.

Not only Dick, but also Bruce is very likely to be deceived, because this is the limitation of the times.

The issue of magic was actually okay. Bruce could consult Zatanna at any time. What he was most afraid of was the kind of future black technology that would be unknown for centuries.

It is impossible to detect the problem using existing technical means.

"The first two possibilities are indeed relatively small, so I think the third possibility has greater reference value."

At this time, Bruce changed the subject and began to talk about the last method he thought of.
