Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World
Chapter 78: I hope the Blue Diamond will resume exhibition (please collect it! Please read it!
"Believe me, Starfire, I want to see you too. I've been thinking about you all the time these past two months."
Dick said lovingly to Starfire.
"If possible, I would like to fly to Titan Tower in the Batfighter to find you right now...but-"
"The current situation in Gotham doesn't allow me to leave now."
Dick shook his head helplessly.
"Batman went on a secret mission with the Justice League. He has been out of touch for several months and may not even be on Earth. No one knows when they will come back."
"In other words, the only people who can protect Gotham during this period are me and Batgirl. You must know that Batgirl has just entered this industry. She has great potential, but her current experience is too little to be able to cope with Brother Those extremely vicious super criminals."
"Also, a new criminal has recently appeared in Gotham who calls himself the Phantom Thief. I always feel that he hides many secrets."
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Gotham until Batman comes back."
After hearing Dick's words, Starfire lowered her head in disappointment.
"Well, Robin, I heard you were going on spring break and I thought we could see each other more..."
After a pause, Starfire suddenly raised her head and asked, "Maybe I can take the Titans to Gotham to help? If the situation in Gotham is so bad, wouldn't it be better to have a few more people to help?"
"What? Let the Titans come to Gotham? Of course not!"
Hearing this, Dick's emotions immediately became excited, "You don't understand Gotham. If you mess around here, it will only cause huge disasters! Believe me, the Titans are not ready to face this city yet."
Starfire was taken aback by Dick's reaction, and Dick's face softened quickly when he realized this.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, Starfire, but don't worry, I can handle everything here."
"I promise you, as soon as Batman comes back, I will go to Titan Tower to see you as soon as possible."
Dick assured Starfire.
"After living on Earth for so long, I still can't understand the thoughts of you humans."
Starfire sighed, worried.
Yes, although Starfire's body shape is not much different from that of humans, she is not from Earth.
Her real name is Corianda, and she comes from a planet called Tamaran in the galaxy. She was once a little princess of the Tamaran people.
The reason why I say once is because the current Tamaran civilization has been destroyed, and only a small number of people are scattered throughout the galaxy. Spark came to Earth when he was fleeing.
The day she came to Earth, she happened to meet Dick leading the Teen Titans on patrol. She was rescued by Dick and others, and she became a member of the Teen Titans.
It was precisely because of that incident that Starfire and Dick formed their initial bond, which later gradually developed into a passionate relationship.
This was also Dick's longest love affair.
For Starfire, he cut off contact with almost all his ex-girlfriends.
Although the combination of Starfire, who is 1.93 meters tall, and Dick, who is only 1.78 meters tall, may not look harmonious...
All in all, after hanging up the call, Dick stared blankly in the direction of New York. At this time, the Titan Tower was located on Manhattan Island in New York.
Dick didn't lie to Starfire. He really wanted to return to Titans Tower as soon as possible, not just for Starfire. Compared to fighting criminals in Gotham, he preferred his time in the Teen Titans.
But Gotham is another responsibility for Dick, and he must stay at this moment.
"...I've delayed long enough, now it's time to have a good chat with Rubeus Thorne."
After looking at the time, Dick's expression straightened and he reentered Robin's state.
The night is still very long...
A few days later, Gotham's East End, Calculator's Mystery Shack.
O'Kilwe came here for the second time.
The difference from before was that this time he didn't knock on the door or take out the Rubik's Cube. He just stood at the door and the door of the room opened automatically.
As for why he came here again, he was naturally here to pick up the goods.
Faust deposited the Stone of Doom with Calculator, hoping that the latter would sell it on his behalf. Calculator himself was not in Gotham, and the Stone of Doom was naturally not in Gotham either.
So when he first came, O'Kilwe just negotiated the business and paid a deposit in advance, but had not yet formally paid for delivery.
"Is that the Stone of Doom in that box?"
O'Kilwe walked into the house and immediately saw an additional sealed box on the table where the monitor was placed.
The material of the box is very strange, like wood or stone, with a faint metallic luster, and there are mysterious symbols engraved on it that are incomprehensible.
At first glance, it smells like black magic.
"Yes, this is the Stone of Doom that even Faust must take seriously."
The calculator still communicates remotely through the display, and I am not here.
I just don’t know how he transported the box here.
"As a reminder, if you don't want to die, don't open the box."
The calculator reminded.
"That box is a container used by Faust to suppress the magic power of the Stone of Doom. Whoever opens the box first and directly contacts the stone inside will suffer the bad luck of death."
Although he heard that the box had the effect of suppressing magic power, Ogilvy was still hesitant to go up and pick up the box directly at first.
"I have received the final payment from Penguin. You can take the Stone of Doom away directly now."
After saying that, the calculator didn't care whether Okiervi took the box away, directly disconnected the server here, and the monitor automatically turned off.
O'Kilwe looked at the box containing the Stone of Doom on the table, was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and walked over to carefully pick up the box.
Nothing happened.
O'Kilwe breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left the calculator hut.
The next day, a piece of news once again occupied the headlines of major newspapers.
A few days ago, it was announced that the Hope Blue Diamond Exhibition would be canceled, but now it has plans to exhibit again!
As we all know, the Hope Blue Diamond is a world-famous "bad luck diamond". All its owners died mysteriously until it was donated to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington.
So far, it has a history of nearly half a century.
Although the so-called legend of death and doom is mostly fabricated for the sake of hype, this does not prevent it from becoming one of the most famous diamonds in the world.
Interestingly, during this time in Gotham, there happened to be a Kaitou Kidd who was obsessed with stealing gems and was active.
I hope Blue Diamond is so famous that Kaitou Kidd will definitely be eyeing it with his habits.
I just don’t know if the name of Hope Blue Diamond’s misfortune can deter this Phantom Thief?
(I don’t know how many people ran away after writing these chapters of excessive daily life. I laughed and cried. Mainly writing cases continuously is too tiring. If you don’t buffer it, the grapefruit will be squeezed out sooner or later, but it is over now)
