Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

The moment Kaitou Kidd showed off his pocket watch, the power supply was restored in the museum.

Every floor, every exhibition hall, all the lights are lit, and the dark environment is suddenly filled with light.

The searchlight that originally shined on Kaitou Kidd has been turned off at this time.

After a person's eyes have adapted to the darkness for a while, and then suddenly enter a bright environment, they will not be able to see clearly for a short period of time.

In other words, the moment the lights in the museum were restored, everyone in the venue lost sight of Kaito Kidd.

Even Robin, who had undergone training, was caught off guard and was blinded.

"Goodbye, Wonder Boy."

At this time, Kaitou Kid's voice floated into Robin's ears.

As soon as the voice fell, Robin's vision returned.

He immediately turned to Kidd, and then heard a bang, and a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared from in front of his eyes, completely covering the Kaitou Kidd in front of him.

Strangely, the smoke only lasted a very short time and was fleeting.

Maybe one second or two seconds, or even a few tenths of a second?

Basically, when Robin saw the smoke enveloping Kaitou Kid, the smoke was already showing signs of dissipating.

Robin didn't know what Kaito Kid's plan was for using this smoke bomb that would dissipate quickly.

The two of them are currently in the center of the exhibition hall, a long way from the four walls.

It is almost impossible for Kaito Kidd to escape before the smoke clears.

The door of the exhibition hall is behind Kaitou Kidd, and there are now more than a dozen security guards guarding it. Although their weapons have just been knocked off, this time is enough for them to pick up the guns.

Not to mention that the security personnel from other floors were also rushing here. Robin didn't believe that Kaitou Kidd's skills could bring down so many people in a short time.

If Kidd didn't go through the door, but planned to go around to the opposite side and jump out of the window, he would run into Gordon and other GCPD troops.

Even putting aside these two reasons, Robin still has the simplest and most direct evidence.

That is, he did not hear any footsteps or see any figures emerging from the smoke.

In other words, theoretically Kaito Kidd should be hiding within the smoke range.

But is this really the case? Robin didn't think so.

There's no point in setting off a smoke bomb that dissipates immediately and then staying put.

Since he can neither interfere with his opponent nor help him escape, why would Kaitou Kidd do anything extra?

There must be some fraud!

Just like the dummy that appeared above the museum not long ago to attract everyone's attention.

Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Kaitou Kidd, who was supposed to be inside, disappeared without a trace.

"Great, one problem solved, but a new one arises - where did the guy go?"

Robin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around. Within a radius of ten meters, except for various transparent glass cabinets, there were no obstacles for Phantom Thief Kid to hide.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from above his head.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

He immediately looked up and found that the ceiling above his head was a vent.

The noise came from the vents.

Air vents?

Could it be that Kaitou Kidd just took the opportunity to crawl into the ventilation duct?

That is definitely impossible!

The ventilation ducts in the museum are not large and there is absolutely no way a person can crawl inside.

The vent shutters are still intact, with no signs of disassembly.

Not just Robin's side, there were a total of six vents in the exhibition hall, and each vent made a similar sound.

"Hey, did you guys hear any weird noises?"

Near one of the vents, a tourist with sharp ears heard the noise first, and then asked his companions around him.

"What did you say...wait, there seems to be some noise..."

"I heard it too, it came from the vents!"

More and more people are noticing abnormalities on the top of their heads.

"Listen, the sound is getting closer and closer, it seems like something is coming out of the vent!"

One of the tourists pointed to a vent in the ceiling and shouted.

Panic and curiosity about the unknown drove the Gotham citizens present to raise their heads and look at the vents.

Of course, no one dares to stand directly under the vent, what if something dangerous comes out?

The same goes for Robin.

He took several steps back and stared at the vents where the noise was getting louder and louder.

At this moment, Dean, who was hiding somewhere, smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

There was only a crisp sound, and the thing that caused the abnormal movement in the ventilation duct finally spewed out.

Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish——

They were white cards with text and Kaito Kid's face printed on them, flying out from the gaps in the blinds of each vent.

The number of these cards was astonishing, and they continuously poured out of the ventilation ducts, covering the entire exhibition hall like rain.

Immediately afterwards, a floral fragrance began to fill the air.

Many small, bright red objects floated out of the white torrent pouring out of the vents.

These objects are lighter than cards and fall slower.

"Ah! It's petals, rose petals!"

Among the crowd, several young and beautiful girls caught a few pieces and discovered to their surprise that they were red rose petals.

Petals and cards were mixed together, filling every corner of the scene.

After a while, Kaitou Kidd's cards were all gone, but the petals were still floating out.

Endless bright red petals slowly fell from the sky, and the charming fragrance filled the entire space.

On the other side, Robin had no interest in the petals. He picked up one of the densely packed cards that fell to the ground.

The appearance of the card is the same as Kidd's notice letter, only the content is different.

"I would like to dedicate this rain of flowers to the audience of my first performance. Thank you for the fateful encounter that allowed us to be intertwined. I will give more exciting performances in the future, so please look forward to it.

Yours sincerely, Kaitou Kidd"

After reading the contents of the card, Robin was silent for a moment.

Without saying a word, he picked up another card with the same content.

Each card is a message from Kaito Kidd.

"Future performance huh? This is a preview of the next crime..."

Robin crumpled the card into a ball with a combative look in his eyes.

"I thought I was just a little thief, but I didn't expect him to be quite capable. I was careless this time and I admit defeat!"

"But next time, I will definitely catch you!"

Robin took a deep look at the scene that was messed up by the rain of petals and cards, and had no more thoughts of staying here.

He shot a hook to the ceiling above the glass window, and jumped high into the air in the exhibition hall. He just swung out of the window and disappeared into the night.
