Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Kurt's laboratory is similar to his home, very simple, like those high-tech equipment that look like super black technology, not a single one can be seen here.

There aren't even surveillance cameras installed inside.

There are more than a dozen tables hastily arranged in the laboratory, two of which are equipped with computers and monitors, and the rest of the tables are full of all kinds of weird and colorful solutions, test tubes, and microscopes.

Around the table, there are several large blackboards, which are filled with dense letters and symbols.

Strange to say, Dean knew each of these characters, but after arranging them like this, he couldn't understand them at all.

In the corner of the laboratory, dozens of small square iron cages were piled up, more than half of which were empty, and the remaining dozen or so iron cages were all filled with bats.

It's not hard to imagine that these were the sources of bat DNA samples for Kurt's serum research.

The whole laboratory looks like a biochemical laboratory that is very common in TV.

Of course, it doesn't seem wrong to say that it is an alchemy room used by evil wizards to make potions, and it may even be more appropriate.

Dean walked into the laboratory and looked around cautiously.

"There is no one inside. It seems that Batman and Robin went to Kurt Francine's house first."

After confirming that there was no one in the lab except himself, Dean breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long ago, he overheard the information that the 'Bat Monster' was most likely Kurt Langstone in Robinson Park.

Later, because Dean did not have Kurt's address information, he came to the laboratory at the public location.

The reason why Kurt will disclose the location of the laboratory is almost understood after seeing the environment in the laboratory.

poverty.

Researching DNA serum is not something that can be done overnight, and it is a gold-eating beast that requires a lot of investment. Kurt's savings alone are not enough. The rent expenses of the laboratory in the past few years have already consumed more than half of his budget.

Naturally, Kurt wanted to attract investment for himself, so the location of the laboratory and the early experimental results were naturally made public.

It's a pity that so far, no company wants to invest money in Kurt's project.

Dean wandered around the laboratory, looking around at the pile of strange and unknown test tube solutions on the table.

"Huh? This is..."

Suddenly, Dean noticed that there were three special test tubes standing on the table in the center, one of which was empty, and the other two were filled with three quarters of bright red liquid, quite viscous.

It looked like some kind of animal blood.

There was also a post-it note on the tube that said 'human-bat DNA hybrid serum'.

"Human-bat serum, is this what turned Kurt Langstone into a monster?"

Dean thought to himself.

At this moment, Dean suddenly remembered the system's broadcast sound.

"A special agent that can tamper with DNA has been detected. You can choose to let the system absorb the sample. After the absorption is complete, a new exchange item 'Reverse Human Bat Inhibitor' will be generated in the mall."

"Inverse Human Bat Inhibitor: It can inhibit the effect of human bat serum, so that the person whose DNA has been tampered with by the serum returns to normal, but the effect cannot take effect permanently. If the person who returns to normal is injected with human bat serum again, the DNA will still be tampered with. "

"It's worth 500 exclamation points."

The sudden system prompt made Dean stunned for a moment.

What's happening here?

By absorbing the human bat serum into the system, can it be exchanged for anti-human bat inhibitors in the mall?

I didn't expect the system's detection and absorption function to have such an extension usage.

Dean's eyeballs were rolling, thinking about the pros and cons.

Gotham's most recent supervillain, the giant Batmonger, is actually Kurt Longstone, a genetically mutated scientist.

As far as Dean has learned so far, he only knows that Kurt is now a bat monster, and his possible abilities include flying, strange power, and emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves.

He wasn't sure which type of villain Kurt's character belonged to, whether it was a double-faced man who was completely blackened by an accident, or a penguin with endless and terrifying ambitions, or a killer crocodile. Generally, because the image is not accepted by human society, they embark on a road of no return.

But no matter what it is, on the three-acre land of Gotham, it is inevitable to bump into each other sometimes.

The most important thing is that Kurt is different from other villains that Dean knows. This is a new villain that has never appeared before, and Dean can say that he knows nothing about him.

Like Double-Faced Man, Riddler, Mad Hatter, Penguin, Scarecrow, Freeze Man, Ventrilogue... Most of these old villains are now either living in Arkham Asylum or spending their holidays in Blackgate Prison.

Only a few supervillains, including Penguin, are still active outside.

The above-mentioned people have long been public information in Gotham. Every Gotham person is very clear about their abilities and weaknesses, and Dean is no exception.

When encountering them by accident, not to mention whether they can take advantage of their weaknesses, at least they will not be caught blind.

This is also the fundamental reason why Dean took the initiative to investigate Kurt Langstone at this time. He had to grasp the core information.

Like before, Dean hadn’t made his debut as Kaito Kidd, and his abilities in all aspects were not enough. He could only learn about supervillains’ information through media reports, but the information he obtained in this way could not be very detailed. general.

The situation is different now, and Dean can barely be considered a super criminal. Of course, the way to obtain information can't just read newspapers like before.

The system's prompt was unexpected and reasonable. After all, there was a precedent of the "Stone of Doom" before, and Dean was not particularly surprised by this.

"System, absorb a human bat serum."

Dean picked up a human bat serum test tube and called the system in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the serum in the test tube in his hand began to decrease little by little, as if it had been invisibly sucked away by something.

Soon, the test tube that was originally filled with bright red liquid turned into a transparent test tube.

"The absorption of the human bat serum is completed... the anti-human bat inhibitor is being generated... the expected generation time is two minutes and thirty seconds..."

thump! thump!

At this moment, Dean's ears moved suddenly, and he vaguely heard some kind of sound of wings flapping, which came from outside the laboratory!

He quickly looked around the laboratory, and then left the place without a sound.

bump!

Ten seconds later, the door of the laboratory was violently destroyed.

A huge humanoid bat monster rushed in, and immediately flew towards a table full of unknown reagents.

I just don't know why, but the way he flies is staggering, as if he is drunk.

"Naloxone...I remember naloxone should go here..."

The human bat rummaged frantically on the table, feeling dizzy in his head more and more.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the back of the human bat's head...
