Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Dick, I really don't understand why you are so emotional now? I know you believe that Dean is not Phantom Thief Kidd, and I don't want Phantom Thief Kidd to be your friend, but I believe it cannot prove Dean's innocence!"

Barbara's serious words reached Dick's ears.

"Today is the last day. As long as Dean is still at home when Kaito Kidd takes action, that is the best way to prove his innocence. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Not only when it comes to Dean, but also on daily night patrols, you are becoming more and more emotional. This is not a good thing. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Batman came back and saw you in your current state? think?"

Barbara said in a serious tone.

"A few months ago, you were not like this when you persuaded Batman to give me a second chance. What happened to you? Did your two defeats against Kidd make you feel stimulated?"

"..."

Dick was silent for a moment and replied: "I...I just can't help but think that maybe we can change it another way."

"Batman is used to treating everything in front of him with suspicion, so he asks us to do the same. Just like Dean, do we really have a solid basis to accuse him of being Kaitou Kidd? Rather than just rely on an almost intuitive feeling. Doubts?"

"No, we didn't! There was no motive, no evidence, no witnesses, no clues, but under such circumstances, we sneaked into his house as a matter of course, and even installed surveillance in his home! We seemed to think that we were wantonly infringing on other people's rights. Privacy is right, as long as the results are right!”

"Is this really the right thing to do?"

Dick looked up at the ceiling, more like asking himself than Barbara.

Barbara was stunned, she didn't expect Dick to say these words.

"I used to regard Batman's words as truth, and I tried my best to imitate his words and deeds. But as time goes by, and I don't know why, I feel more and more... I feel like I am living in Batman's world. in the shadow.”

Dick recalled, "You know I helped create the Teen Titans, but you can never imagine what I was thinking when I first met the Titans."

“Donna was the first to greet me, then Wally came over to shake my hand, Roy made a joke about my name, and Garth was quiet but cold-hearted and warm-hearted. I will never forget the sincere smiles on their faces. "

"But what have I done? On the surface, I went crazy with them and got into trouble, but secretly I was thinking about how to defeat them all the time, taking advantage of their character weaknesses and their trust in me."

Dick shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Because that was the task assigned to me by Batman, and that day happened to be my fourteenth birthday."

"While spending time with the Titans, I suddenly discovered that being a vigilante with your head covered can also lead to sunshine. I am increasingly doubting whether Batman's approach is correct... I, I know I am wrong to think this way, but I just couldn’t control myself.”

Listening to Dick's narration, Barbara didn't know what to say for a while.

"No, maybe you're right, Dick, but this is Gotham and we're not like them."

Finally, Barbara sighed.

"Ah."

Dick snorted slightly.

"Anyway, when today's things are over, I will go and get the monitor from Dean's house. As for the conflict of ideas between you and Batman, I don't want to be involved at all."

Barbara said.

"no problem."

After saying that, the two of them ended the call at the same time and concentrated on the task in front of them.

Based on the current interpretation of the trailer, Kaito Kidd's target 'Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace' is stored on the top floor of the central cultural relics exhibition hall, and his appearance is in the jungle pavilion next to the cultural relics exhibition hall.

So Dick and Barbara decided to split up, with the former responsible for protecting the necklace, and the latter trying to stop Kaitou Kidd on the way.

In their opinion, Dick's identity as Robin has been exposed to Kaitou Kidd, and letting him guard the jungle pavilion might force Kidd to change his plan and start from other pavilions.

Kaitou Kidd doesn't know Barbara, but is a better candidate.

Meanwhile, in the smoking room of the heritage museum.

A man with a gloomy face had a cigarette in his mouth. He took out a matchbox from his pocket and struck a match.

With a bang, the match burned.

The strange thing is that this man did not use a match to light his cigarette, but just kept looking at the swaying flames on the match in a daze.

Waiting for the flame to go out, he lit the next match and continued to stare at the flame in a daze, repeating this action over and over again.

Everyone who came here to smoke looked at him strangely, but no one came up to talk to him.

Not many people even dared to come within two meters of this man.

This is obviously a mentally disturbed person. In Gotham, you can mess with anyone you want, but it's best not to mess with someone like this.

In the jungle exhibition hall, Barbara's vigilant eyes quickly scanned every passerby. Everyone present might be the disguise of Phantom Thief Kidd, and no detail could be missed.

Once she finds someone doing something suspicious, Barbara will go over and question them.

Her current status is as a temporary advisor to the GCPD. Although her term is only for one day, she is able to exercise her investigative powers liberally during this period.

Without this identity, Barbara would not be able to question the suspicious person face to face as soon as she finds him. After all, not everyone has the aura of being an unreasonable detective.

And she couldn't let Batgirl be too visible.

In addition to Barbara, Gordon is also here.

On the one hand, he was worried about the safety of his daughter. On the other hand, after the "Pink Dream" incident, Gordon realized that just staying in the monitoring center and commanding was not enough.

Kaitou Kidd might try his old trick to mislead them, so Gordon decided to go to the front line in person and arrest Kaitou Kidd where he appeared.

In this way, time passed little by little, and it was soon approaching ten o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Barbara suddenly felt the cell phone in her pocket vibrate.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, took out her phone and opened it.

Dean's bedroom was shown on the screen.

Judging from the picture, Dean should have just walked into the bedroom and was already wearing pajamas.

At the same time, he was holding a book in his hand, a quite remarkable book.

"Blueprint for the Future Development of Computer Technology" is written by Will Magnus, a top scientist at Star Labs. Rumor has it that he is researching the creation of artificial intelligence life forms.

This book can be called the most cutting-edge ideas and concepts in the computer industry. It is almost impossible for normal people to understand it. Even Barbara found many of the contents too obscure when reading this book.

Barbara wasn't surprised why Dean, a magician, would read hardcore books about computer science. Well, in fact, she was very surprised and couldn't even understand it, but she was used to it.

Because he's been reading this book since the first day she spied on Dean.
