Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Cassandra, although I don't know why you think I am Kaitou Kidd, it may be because I am a magician like him, but..."

Dean continued to speak, his face calm and his tone calm.

"I'm really not Kaitou Kidd."

Dean said this from the bottom of his heart, with sincerity in his eyes.

He had no fear that Cassandra would tell him he was lying because he was telling the truth.

Dean was never the real Phantom Thief Kidd from beginning to end, he was just playing the part of Phantom Thief Kidd.

If it weren't for Kaito Kidd's image and style that are so eye-catching and topical, maybe Dean would have adopted another identity in the first place.

For example, a certain monkey-faced thief.

Through the Eye of True Seeing, Dean learned basic information about Cassandra.

Although nothing is known about her past history or personality preferences, Cassandra's abilities are clearly visible.

The Eye of True Sight spoke highly of Cassandra, saying that she has unparalleled martial arts talent, has the potential to become the strongest fighter in the world, and also has the extremely terrifying instinct of being able to read human body language. talent.

Simply looking at it this way, the ability to read body language doesn't seem that abnormal, and it doesn't seem to be much different from reading micro-expressions.

But in fact, there is a huge difference between the two. Micro-expressions can use powerful facial control capabilities to prevent the other party from reading useful information or even deliberately make expressions to mislead others.

So according to this idea, wouldn't it be possible to mislead Cassandra by just doing some strange actions?

However, the body language Cassandra read was not just simple movements of the limbs. The body language she saw was a very abstract concept. To be precise, it should be called human body language, any natural reaction of the human body based on instinct. can provide her with information.

The walking pace, the swing of the arms, the contraction of the muscles, the beating of the heart, the relaxation of the pores, the circulation of blood, and even the slight trembling of the hairs. Cassandra can read the information from it and even predict the opponent. Next steps.

It's simply a superimposed version of mind reading and combat prediction!

Maybe one or two temporary meaningless movements can confuse Cassandra, but a person cannot stay in that state forever, unless he is a madman.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Cassandra will be able to recognize the true identity of any masked person as long as she sees it once.

But Dean doesn't want to reveal his identity so soon. He's not sure whether Cassandra is an enemy or a friend, and he's not sure if she came to ask him for some purpose.

Considering that Cassandra and Barbara have a closer relationship, the possibility of hostility is greater.

So, Dean quickly used his little brain, how to prevaricate from Cassandra?

The other party can read his body, but he cannot perfectly control his body, which means that he cannot fool Cassandra if he wants to rely on lies.

He can only tell the truth and must tell the truth.

Anyway, Dean is not Kaitou Kidd.

Fortunately, Cassandra is neither Batman nor Robin. The way she discovered Kaid's identity was not based on rigorous logical reasoning and lacked solid evidence.

When Dean made it clear that he was not Kaitou Kidd and that he was not lying, Cassandra was confused for a moment, and her pupils seemed to have experienced an earthquake.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Dean stretched out his hand, waved it in front of the stunned Cassandra, and asked.

"No, I...I'm fine."

Cassandra came to her senses and shook her head at Dean.

There was still a bit of disbelief on her face, and she looked at Dean several times doubtfully.

The latter returned a smile calmly.

"Dean's physical habits are exactly the same as Kaitou Kidd, but he says he is not Kaitou Kidd... Are there really two people in the world with the same physical habits?"

Cassandra thought to herself.

"Thinking about it carefully, I actually haven't met that many people. The world is so big, it doesn't seem impossible to have two people like this."

Soon, Cassandra comforted herself.

"Maybe I saw it wrong, but it's not necessarily..."

She is still too young, and has not met any reclusive martial arts master in the past few years of wandering. Therefore, even she herself does not know what potential she has, and it is normal for her to doubt her own judgment.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble to you."

Kassandra bowed her head to Dean apologetically and made apologetic gestures with her hands.

"I watched the process of Phantom Thief Kidd stealing the big lamp at Cavaliers Stadium. I felt that his... body was very similar to yours, so I thought you belonged to Phantom Thief Kidd."

When she "said" this sentence, Cassandra's face was a little hesitant, and her gestures were also much slower. She didn't know how to express what she saw through body information.

Ugh...what a terrible description.

Although Dean can probably understand what Cassandra means, he still wants to complain about the other party's description. This is probably the importance of learning. No wonder Cassandra is so grateful to Barbara for teaching her to read.

"Do you care who Kaitou Kidd is?"

Dean asked. This was not an awkward conversation. He felt that Cassandra was not the type who would be interested in Kaitou Kidd. Although she had a warm-hearted side, Cassandra's style was similar to that of a superhero. What a big difference.

At least not like the Bat Family.

He wanted to know what made Cassandra interested in Kaitou Kidd, and even came directly to ask.

Hearing this, Cassandra's face darkened and she didn't make any response, as if she had an unspeakable secret.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Dean waved his hand nonchalantly and said, since the other person doesn't want to talk for the time being, he can't force him to speak. This can't be done too hastily.

If Cassandra were angered, Dean probably wouldn't be able to defeat her with this little girl's fighting ability.

but……

"Based on my superb psychology and micro-expression skills, I'm sure that Cassandra's unspeakable secret is not a trivial matter. Perhaps it is the reason why she became a wandering orphan?"

Dean guessed in his mind.

"In retrospect, Cassandra also has some complicated emotions about her surname. Usually the source of the surname is her father. Cassandra's martial arts attainments are definitely professionally trained. It may have been taught to her by her father, so It can be inferred that her family has probably undergone huge changes, and coupled with Cassandra's identity as a street child..."

"Could it be that her father was also a very skilled thief, and Cassandra was wandering around after being caught and imprisoned by mistake? Is that why she is interested in Kaito Kidd?"

Hmm...this is very likely.

From this point of view, Cassandra's father can be regarded as half of Dean's peers, so Cassandra can also be regarded as a quarter.

Dean thought to himself.

"Judging from Cassandra's behavior and habits, she should not have been poisoned by Batman, and Barbara's attitude does not seem to know her abilities, although it is not 100% certain that Cassandra It has nothing to do with the Bat Family, but maybe I could try..."
