Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

With the activation of Chocolat's device, the atomized Inverse Bat reagent quickly spread throughout Gotham.

As many as hundreds of thousands of people infected with the human bat virus gradually recovered into human bodies.

Without exception, those who recovered fell into a deep coma, which seemed very dangerous, because most mutant human bats were flying tens or even hundreds of meters in the air, and they would easily fall if they suddenly returned to human form. died.

However, the anti-human bat reagent does not take effect instantly. The transformation from a mutant human bat into a human requires a process ranging from ten seconds to tens of seconds. During this process, the mutant human bat does not immediately lose its flight instinct and stagger. Falling to the ground should be enough.

What's more, in order to cover the entire Gotham area, the Chocrat device must dilute the reverse-human bat reagent to a certain extent, which will give the mutant bat a longer time to land.

Of course, there will definitely be people who are unlucky enough to be injured or killed when falling from high altitudes.

Although it will take a lot of manpower and time to send everyone who is unconscious on the streets, rooftops, and telephone poles to the hospital, it will take a long time for Gotham to completely return to its original state.

But these are just some minor flaws. Compared with the outcome of Gotham's millions of people being infected with the virus and reduced to a city of man-bats, the current losses and troubles are nothing at all.

The dark cloud of man-bats that had shrouded Gotham all night was finally completely dispelled at this moment.

The person who dispelled it was not Batman as people imagined, but the Kaitou Kidd who no one expected.

He really followed through on his promise and "stole" away the virus that threatened people's lives!

Kaito Kidd's virtual live broadcast room was also closed after the Chocolat device was successfully activated. The last scene people saw in the live broadcast room was Kaitou Kidd's usual bow.

No one knows when Kaitou Kidd left Wayne Tower, and no one knows the identity of the mysterious girl next to him.

On the other side, in an open space more than ten kilometers away from Wayne Tower, Batman carefully controlled the Bat-Fighter to land safely. During the entire landing process, the fuselage did not experience any even slight vibrations.

Because the top of the Bat Fighter was filled with people who had recovered from the mutant human bat state. Previously, the Bat Fighter was surrounded by countless mutant human bats. Many of them did not have time to leave and transformed back into humans directly on top of the Bat Fighter.

In order to prevent these people from being thrown out due to the vibration of the fuselage and falling to the ground to death, Batman had to use this meek method to control the Bat-Fighter.

After moving everyone hanging on the Batplane to the ground, Batman drove the Batplane back to the Batcave.

Batgirl and Robin were waiting for him there early.

"Did you read the news sixteen minutes ago, Batman? Kidd has become a big hero in Gotham. Many citizens are calling on the Internet to pardon Kidd for his theft."

When Batman came back, Robin held up his phone and said to him.

"I need you to investigate the results of the Penguin Gang. What is the relationship between the Penguin and the leak of the Man-Bat Virus?"

Batman simply ignored Robin's words and asked about their investigation.

"The situation is a bit...complicated."

The Batgirl on the side took over Batman's words and replied.

Hearing this, Batman's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Penguin is missing."

At this time Robin came over and said solemnly.

"When the Man-Bat Virus was spreading, the Penguin's team was chased by a swarm of mutant Man-Bat. While escaping to the Iceberg Club, they had an accidental car accident. All of Penguin's men at the time died, and his whereabouts are unknown. Life or death is unknown.”

"It's just that when Bat Girl and I went to the scene of the car accident to investigate, the place was already in a mess by a swarm of mutant bats, and not even a complete body was left..."

"Maybe the Penguin escaped by luck, or maybe he has become food for the group of mutant bats."

Robin's tone was very serious, and Batgirl's face was not pretty. It was hard to imagine what kind of miserable situation they saw at that time.

"The Penguin's escape process was seen by many witnesses, and some intact surveillance cameras also recorded relevant footage, which can confirm this."

The more he listened, the more Batman frowned.

In the beginning, the Penguin brought many men to fight against Black Mask's Masked Society. If he planned the leak of the Man-Bat Virus, then the Penguin must have mastered the method of controlling the mutant Man-Bat or curing the Man-Bat. The antidote to the virus.

Because it is impossible for Penguin to want a dilapidated city full of uncontrolled mutant man-bats. Such a scene is definitely not what Penguin wants to see. What he needs is Gotham that can bring him power and wealth.

Not to mention that the Penguin was attacked by a mutant man-bat and was killed by his own conspiracy. Such brainless behavior was not in line with Batman's understanding of the Penguin.

But there is no doubt that the person who kidnapped Francine and threatened Kurt Langstone was from the Penguin Gang.

Unless... the so-called pursuit is actually part of the Penguin's plan!

He actually had a way to control the mutant man-bat, but he deliberately staged this show to clear himself of suspicion, making people think that he, the Penguin, was also one of the victims.

This sounds ridiculous, but in Batman's opinion, this is indeed something the Penguin can do. The only question is why would he do it?

There are other possibilities, that is, someone in the Penguin Gang planned everything without the Penguin, or... the member of the Penguin Gang who threatened Kurt also hides another identity!

He is not from the Penguin Gang, he just wants to throw dirty water on the Penguin Gang.

"Penguin's current whereabouts are unknown. What about his gang?"

Batman asked suddenly.

For a large gang like the Penguin Gang with many hills and mountains, if the boss suddenly disappears and is suspected of death, it is impossible for it to remain the same without any change, right?

"The current person in charge of the Iceberg Club is Ignatius O'Kilwe. He used to be Penguin's secretary, and he can be regarded as the second-in-command of the Penguin Gang."

Batgirl replied.

"Ever since the Penguin disappeared, it was Okierwe who stabilized the overall situation of the gang."

Okierwe?

Batman suddenly remembered the last time he went to find Penguin, the man who tried to block him and was kicked away by him.

If he remembered correctly, that person should be Okierwe.

How long has it been? Batman thought he was still lying in the hospital, but he didn't expect that he had already come out and took over the Penguin's shift?

Batman's intuition tells him that there must be something wrong with this guy named O'Kilvi.

No matter who is behind the spread of the Man-Bat Virus, he must be hiding in the Penguin Gang.

"I'm going to see this O'Kilwe now."

With that said, Batman was about to turn around and leave the Batcave, less than five minutes after he came back.

"Wait, Master Bruce!"

Suddenly, Alfred rushed out from nowhere and called Batman, holding a box in his hand.
