Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"Counting the time, he should be here by now."

Kaitou Kidd took out a pocket watch and looked at the time before saying.

"Am I right?"

At this time, Kaitou Kidd suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere in the deep forest, showing a half-smiling expression.

Obviously, he didn't say this to Black Mask.

"How did you find me?"

A hoarse and gloomy voice came from the direction where Kaitou Kid was looking.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

The strong and muscular body, the dark and stylish close-fitting suit, and the eye-catching bat logo on the chest all declare the identity of the visitor.

Batman.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Kaitou Kid asked with a smile.

Batman didn't speak, just looked at Kaitou Kidd lightly.

I don’t know why, but the half-wrapped Bat helmet clearly has lenses covering his eyes, but Kaitou Kidd always feels like he’s being stared at by Batman.

Despite this, Kaitou Kidd had no intention of answering Batman's question. He always kept a smile on his face and looked at Batman without any wavering on his expression.

He is not a teacher in school. Should he answer whatever others ask him?

What's more, this is still a secret that cannot be told.

It is very difficult to detect Batman's approach purely by eyesight, especially in an environment like the woods at night. If Kaito Kidd concentrates on observing his surroundings, it is still possible to detect him.

But at this time, his attention had been partially distracted by Black Mask, and it was naturally impossible to know when and from which direction Batman approached.

So how does Kaitou Kidd know this?

All the secrets are hidden in the virtual live broadcast room, and Kaitou Kidd discovered a new use of the live broadcast room.

Not long ago, the virtual live broadcast room was closed once. During that time, the original audience, that is, all the media workers in Gotham, were kicked out of the live broadcast room.

In fact, Kaitou Kidd did not close the live broadcast room, but fixed the audience's perspective to his own. As for the anchor position...

Of course the setting is for Batman!

Through the virtual live broadcast room, Kidd can spy on Batman's every move, where he appears at what time, and based on Batman's current location and actions, he can deduce where he may appear next.

In fact, there is no need to speculate. Batman was an audience member watching the "Bruce Wayne" live broadcast with Black Mask. Even Black Mask rushed over. There is no reason why Batman, who has various black technology vehicles, cannot catch up.

At most, it's because the woods are too big and I haven't found the exact location yet.

During the confrontation between Kidd and Black Mask, there were explosions and gunshots. As long as Batman was not deaf, he would definitely rush here.

Kaitou Kidd only needs to estimate the distance from Batman's location to roughly figure out the time when the latter will arrive.

As long as the virtual live broadcast room can be used flexibly to freely specify the characteristics of the audience and the host, then its significance to Kaitou Kidd is not just a tool to provide additional viewers.

It also gave him a God's perspective that was invisible and intangible, and would never be noticed by the person involved!

The only drawback is that the designation requirements for anchors are more stringent than the designation requirements for viewers. After all, the audience is a group of 5,000 people. This group only needs to meet common characteristics to be drawn into the live broadcast room.

However, only one anchor is allowed in the virtual live broadcast room at the same time, and he is a pure individual. Therefore, the identity of the individual must be clearly known before he can be designated as the anchor.

Kaito Kidd knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne, so he can choose Batman to be the anchor, and he can view Batman's movements from the perspective of the audience.

Not if he's just a masked vigilante with a nickname and no idea of ​​his true identity.

However, Kaitou Kidd's Eye of True Seeing can also make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

"I don't know what technology you used to publish that live video to the entire Gotham, but you deliberately lured most of the escapees from the Masked Club and Blackgate Prison here...including me."

Seeing that Kaitou Kidd remained silent, Batman did not ask further questions, but asked about another matter.

"Why do you do this?"

"Do you even need to ask? The person who knows the reason best is probably you, Batman."

Hearing this, Kaitou Kidd shook his head and laughed.

"I'm a magician, and I don't want to see riots filling the streets of Gotham. This will endanger the lives of my audience, and it will also affect my future performances. This is a major event that cannot be ignored."

"Of course I also want this riot to calm down faster and do what I can do, such as leading the core instigators to a place where the riots and conflicts will not intensify."

"It is late at night, and Gotham is in such a bad situation right now. Robinson Park is empty. The vast woods here have countless natural obstacles. It is the best place to deal with Black Mask, and it is also the most effective place. A battlefield that brings out Batman’s strengths.”

Whoosh!

In the middle of Kaitou Kid's words, Batman suddenly flicked his right hand, and a batarang shot in the direction of Kaitou Kidd like a meteor.

However, the target is not Kaitou Kidd himself.

The batarang flew almost close to the side of Kaitou Kid's face, and the sharp blade almost cut into his hair.

"ah!"

Immediately afterwards, a cry of pain sounded.

It turned out that Black Mask took advantage of Kid's conversation with Batman and quickly got behind Kid, intending to attack him from behind.

His bullets had been empty just now, so Black Mask was ready to use the pistol itself as a weapon and hit Kaitou Kid's head hard.

However, a batarang foiled Black Mask's plans.

The batarang hit not the pistol, but Black Mask's gun-holding hand, leaving a deep wound on his hand and even the tendon of the hand was severed.

thump!

The next second, Black Mask lost consciousness without warning and fell to the ground.

Of course, he didn't faint from the pain, but because the batarang was coated with anesthetic, and the dose could instantly render a person incapacitated without being fatal.

Once hit by a batarang, a normal person will immediately faint and fall to the ground.

Kaitou Kidd didn't care about the movement behind him, and didn't even have the desire to turn his head.

It was as if he had already expected that the latter would play this trick, and was sure that Batman would definitely take action.

"Well... from now on, no one wearing a weird mask has appeared..."

At this time, Kaitou Kidd suddenly remembered something, looked at Batman and spoke slowly.

"I think you have cleaned up the hundreds of members of the Mask Club, right?"
