Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

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

Every floor, every exhibition hall, all the lights are turned on, and the dark environment is instantly filled with light.

The searchlight that was originally shining on Kaitou Kidd was turned off at this time.

When people's eyes get used 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, at the moment when the lights in the museum were restored, everyone in the venue lost the sight of Kaitou Kidd.

Even the trained Robin was caught off guard and dazzled.

"Goodbye, Wonder Boy."

At this time, the voice of Kaitou Kidd drifted into Robin's ears.

As soon as the voice fell, Robin's sight was restored.

He immediately turned his head to Kidd, and then he heard a bang, and a puff of smoke suddenly appeared in front of him, completely covering the strange thief Kidd in front of him.

Strangely, this cloud of smoke lasted only a very short time, fleeting.

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

Basically, when Robin saw the smoke enveloped Kaito Kidd, the smoke had already shown signs of dissipating.

Robin didn't know what Kaitou Kidd's plan was for using this kind of smoke bomb that would dissipate quickly.

The two are currently in the center of the exhibition hall, not a short distance from the four walls.

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

The gate of the exhibition hall is behind Kaitou Kidd, and there are more than a dozen security guards there. Although they have just been knocked out of their weapons, this time is enough for them to retrieve their guns.

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

If Kidd does not go through the gate, but prepares to go around and jump out of the window, he will collide with Gordon and other GCPD troops.

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

That is, he didn't hear any footsteps, nor did he see any figures emerging from the smoke.

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

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

It doesn't make any sense to detonate a smoke bomb that will dissipate in no time, and then stay where you are.

It can neither interfere with the opponent nor help him escape, why would Kaitou Kidd go to such lengths?

There must be fraud in it!

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

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

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

Robin narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around. Except for various transparent glass cabinets, within a radius of ten meters, there was no obstacle where Kaito Kidd could hide.

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

Bang bang bang bang bang!

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

The sound came from the vent.

Vents?

Could it be that Kaito Kidd took the opportunity to climb into the ventilation duct just now?

That must be impossible!

The ventilation ducts in the museum are not large, and it is absolutely impossible for a person to crawl in it.

The shutters of the air vents are still intact, with no signs of disassembly.

It's not just Robin's side, there are a total of six vents in the exhibition hall, and each vent makes a similar sound.

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

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

"What did you say... wait, it seems that there is something..."

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

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

"Listen, the sound is getting closer and closer, as if something is about to come out of the vent!"

A tourist shouted, pointing at the vents in the ceiling.

Panic and curiosity about the unknown drove the Gotham citizens present to look up at the vent.

Of course, no one dared to stand directly under the vent. What if something dangerous came out?

So does Robin.

He stepped back a few steps, staring at the vent that 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 change in the ventilation duct finally spewed out.

Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish——

Those were white cards with words and Kaito Kidd's face printed on them, flying out of the gaps in the shutters of each vent.

The number of these cards was astonishingly large, and they continuously emerged from the ventilation ducts, covering the entire exhibition hall like rain.

Immediately afterwards, a scent of flowers began to fill the air.

Many bright red small objects floated out of the white torrent gushing out of the vent.

These objects are lighter than cards, and fall more slowly.

"Ah! Petals, petals of roses!"

Among the crowd, several young and beautiful girls caught some pieces, and suddenly found that they were petals of red roses.

Flower petals and cards are mixed together, filling every corner of the scene.

After a while, Kaito Kidd ran out of cards, but the petals were still floating out.

Endless bright red petals slowly fall from the sky, and the charming aroma fills the entire space.

On the other hand, Robin had no interest in petals, and 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 who performed for the first time. I am grateful for the fateful encounter that made me intertwined. I will present more exciting performances in the future. Please look forward to it.

Sincerely, Phantom Thief Kidd"

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

Without saying a word, he picked up a card again, which had the same content.

Each card is a message from Phantom Thief Kidd.

"A performance in the future? This is a preview of the next crime..."

Robin crumpled up the whole card, a combative look in his eyes.

"At first I thought it was just a small thief, but I didn't expect to be quite capable. This time I was careless, I admit it!"

"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 rain of cards, and had no intention of staying here anymore.

He shot a hook towards the ceiling above the glass window, and he leaped high and swung in the mid-air of the exhibition hall. Just as he swung out of the window, his figure disappeared into the night.
