Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

A few days later, Gotham.

Although the leak of the Man-Bat Virus was resolved in just one night, just one night was enough to leave indelible scars on Gotham.

More than a thousand people died in the crazy rampage of countless mutant bats, and many more people lost family members or friends.

In contrast to this painful atmosphere, Kaito Kidd's popularity and reputation in Gotham have reached new heights.

If Kaito Kidd hadn't used the Chocrat device to eliminate the Man-Bat Virus in time, the number of deaths would have been astronomical.

People regard him as a not-so-heroic hero who saved the city.

Although Kaitou Kidd himself does not consider himself a hero.

But how many people can know the true thoughts of Kaitou Kidd?

What's more, even if they knew, I'm afraid they would still treat the Phantom Thief like a hero.

Such unprecedented popularity has spawned a large number of information and articles related to Kaitou Kidd, including serious news reports and random fabrications by Internet editors.

Even some completely unrelated content carries Kaitou Kid's name to gain popularity.

"A thief becomes a hero?" Take you into the secret past of Kaitou Kidd! 》

"do you know? Ten life hacks that even Kaitou Kidd is using! 》

"What is the relationship between the mysterious girl who saved Kaitou Kidd and Kaitou Kidd?" The secret of the love story of the Phantom Thieves! 》

"A snack shop printed the image of the Phantom Thief on the potato chip packaging without permission, but the Kaito Kidd Fan Support Association sued the court for infringement? 》

…

Such outrageous news spread all over the world and spread widely through the Internet, so much so that after a long time, Kaitou Kidd's love story became the most talked about gossip.

At this moment, in a dilapidated old building in Gotham.

A voice that contained anger came out.

"Hero... Kaitou Kidd? He deserves to be called a hero!"

I saw Tom holding a newspaper in his hand, with stern eyes and a fierce look on his face.

"Kaitou Kid is just a shameless thief who doesn't care about the lives of others for his own selfish desires! If it weren't for him, how could I have lost my job and been reduced to hanging out with the gangsters I originally avoided? to the point.”

"I obviously did nothing wrong? Why did I lose my job in the end? Why did Kaitou Kidd beat me unconscious? How can a guy like this who ignores the consequences and acts willfully qualify to be called a hero?"

With a tearing sound, Tom tore the newspaper into pieces in annoyance.

"Just wait and see, Kaitou Kidd, I will definitely kill you, and I will also reveal your true face to people!"

Tom shifted his gaze to the side wall. There was nothing there, just a bare wall.

His eyes didn't seem to be looking at the wall, but at the unknown distance.

At the same time, a wave of emotion rose up inside Tom.

Is it a memory?

No, its name is hate.

All urrrrrrrrr!

Suddenly, Tom's personal phone rang.

"who?"

He answered the phone impatiently and asked equally impatiently.

"it's me."

A man's voice came on the phone.

"Okierwe?"

Tom was a little surprised.

"Didn't you say that we should minimize contact during this period?"

"Mosaic has been cornered by Batman. I guess it won't be long before all of his hiding places will be taken away by Batman."

On the phone, O'Kilwe's voice reached Tom's ears.

"You know what that means, Tom. Batman is going to find out that Mosaic is not the real operator behind the scenes, and it won't be long before we are exposed."

"Hmph! Mr. Mosaic has been in Gotham for more than ten years. I thought he must be somewhat capable, but I didn't expect that he would be finished after just a few days!"

Tom couldn't help but sneered.

"No, his ability to persist until now has exceeded my expectations. Batman is not such an easy enemy to deal with."

"So, you called me just to tell me this?"

Tom asked.

Hearing this, Okierwei gave a negative answer.

"I'm asking you, do you still want to seek revenge from Kaitou Kidd?"

"What do you think?"

"Very well, then you can start your revenge plan now."

Tom was shocked beyond measure when he heard O'Kilwe's words.

"Start now? Are you kidding me, O'Kilwe?"

"I never joke, Tom."

O'Kilwe said calmly.

"Batman will know about our relationship soon. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Kidd, you may never have another chance in the future."

"Haven't you always been looking forward to the day when you will kill Kaitou Kidd with your own hands? Why are you hesitating now?"

Tom really wanted to kill Kaitou Kidd as soon as possible, but the current situation was so far from his original plan that he was a little uncertain for a while.

But soon, his eyes became firm.

"You're wrong, O'Kilvi, I didn't hesitate, I was just excited about killing Kaitou Kidd."

After saying that, Tom suddenly seemed to have remembered something and asked: "Speaking of which, O'Kilwe, you contact me by phone every time. Is this really safe? Won't our calls be monitored?" "

"No, you can rest assured about this. As long as you use this mobile phone, our conversations will not be monitored."

O'Kilwe said with great confidence.

This is because the two mobile phones they used are not within the world's communication network at all, at least not a normal communication network.

Among the super villains of the earth, there is a being called Calculator. He specializes in providing services to the villains. He can obtain sources of intelligence, weapons, technology, transactions, and even magic items. It is not easy.

The two mobile phones used by Ogilvy and Tom were obtained by the former from the calculator.

Of course, O'Kilvi did not reveal any information about the calculator to Tom, and Tom did not know the existence of the calculator.

In fact, very few people in the world know about calculators.

"...I hope the facts are as you said."

Although Tom did not major in communications, he knew that a mobile phone like the one he had that could not be monitored by the police and would not leave call records with any communications company was definitely not an ordinary thing.

"Okierwe, are you almost done with 'that'?"

Suddenly, Tom asked abruptly.

"..."

There was silence on the phone.

The strange thing is that there was no response, but Tom seemed to understand something and murmured.

"I see, I know. No wonder you asked me to execute the plan in advance... Well, as long as I can kill Kaitou Kidd, I don't care about anything else."

"Good luck, Tom."

At this time, O'Kilwe's voice rang again, and then the call ended.
