Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 109 Magic is a scam
"You seem to have made a mistake, Chief."

Not to be outdone, Tony responded that he opened the helmet of his battle suit so that the other party could see his expression. Although Tony tried his best to speak in a polite tone, his face was full of disgust and arrogance.

"This is my territory, and it's not up to you to direct what I want to do."

Tony said proudly.

"Instead, you should do what I tell you to do."

"Hope you know what you're talking about."

George snorted coldly.

No matter how angry he was, for a super capitalist like Tony, the police really didn't have much power to restrain him.

If it makes Tony unhappy, a big hat of "wasting taxpayers' money" will be buckled up.

"Now there is no need for me to deal with the Kaitou Kidd. Someone will deal with him."

Tony looked at Phantom Thief Kidd in the distance, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Boom...boom...boom"

Suddenly, there was a new sound of footsteps in the sky.

People who heard the footsteps were amazed instantly, because it was totally different from Kaitou Kidd's footsteps!

If Kaito Kidd's footsteps were crisp and melodious, and his steps were steady and brisk, then this new footstep could only be described as heavy.

"Why is there another sound of footsteps, is that really coming from the sky?"

Someone in the audience asked hurriedly.

"Should be, I heard clearly."

"That is to say, there is another person walking in the sky besides the Kaitou Kidd?"

"Has anyone cracked Kidd's technique?"

"how can that be!"

"Where is that person?"

Countless spectators began to look around, hoping to find a second person who could walk in the sky.

However, they saw nothing but darkness in the sky.

At this moment, a helicopter corresponding to No. [-] suddenly turned on its searchlight, and in an instant, the dazzling light illuminated a black figure below.

Batman!
The light-absorbing efficiency of the bat suit is very good, and it is almost invisible in the dark night, no wonder no one found him.

As everyone guessed, Batman is indeed suspended in the sky, walking forward step by step.

Face to face with Kaitou Kid.

"This is machine No. 12. Suspicious person was found. Suspicious person was found... It was confirmed to be Batman, and we are continuing to follow up, over."

On board NO.12, Alfred reported to George solemnly.

"It's Batman again! Why did he come to New York? Could it be that he had a problem with Kaitou Kidd?"

Hearing this, George frowned, suddenly dissatisfied.

"No matter what unknown past there is between them, Batman and Kaito Kidd are the most wanted criminals at the top right now, so we must not let any of them go today!"

George ordered viciously.

"All helicopters, approach Kaito Kidd and Batman."

"The rest immediately emptied the street in front of the central pavilion and evacuated the crowd."

"Because there is an order prohibiting firing, we can only surround them, leaving no gaps, and not allowing them to fall to the ground!"

"I don't believe that Phantom Thief Kidd can sneak into the crowd by disguise!"

When George's order was given, his men responded in unison.

"Yes, sir!"

More and more helicopters are approaching here, and there are already many helicopters circling around Kaitou Kidd, almost blocking his every escape route.

But what is strange is that no matter how many helicopters gather, how much wind blows when the propeller wings rotate at high speed.

Kaitou Kidd didn't seem to be affected in the slightest. The most amazing thing was that his cloak still kept its original appearance and was not blown up by the wind!
On the other hand, Batman's black cloak had already been blown and rattled.

"Maggison, what are you going to do now?"

Facing this scene, Charlie asked Maggison, one person and one dog communicated through specially made badges.

"Hey, don't worry, they can't catch us."

McKesson showed a smirk, obviously already had a plan.

"Batman, I did think that you might be able to crack my sky walk, but what I didn't expect was that you would actually perform the exact same magic in front of me."

As the Kaitou Kidd and Batman gradually approached, when they were only a few tens of meters away from each other, Maggison suddenly shouted at Batman, with a hint of depression in his tone.

"Before performing the magic, the phenomenon that is about to happen must not be revealed; the same magic cannot be performed twice for the same audience at the same time and at the same place."

"The famous three principles of Suston, you have committed two at once this time, Kaitou Kidd, maybe you think you are a genius enough to be a special case, but as a real magician, you seem to have not mastered it yet. .”

Batman's husky, magnetic low voice echoed Kaito Kidd.

"And I'm following you to walk in the sky, just to prove to people that your air walk is not a miracle, as long as you have received certain training, anyone can actually do it."

"All the so-called 'miracles' are actually nothing more than a hoax."

Hearing this, Kaitou Kidd waved his hand.

"Whoa, Batman, do you know that what you're doing is killing someone else's job?"

"You're a superhero, why go to study the three principles of Thurston? Well, I admit that I want to challenge the most authoritative three principles of magicians. It's a bit arrogant."

"But there is one thing I don't agree with your idea."

Suddenly, Kaito Kid's frivolous tone became serious.

"I never thought of using 'miracle' as a gimmick to deceive the audience, and there was no ulterior conspiracy."

"Maybe magic itself is a scam, but every audience knows it well, but why do so many people still like magic? Because people who watch magic just like being cheated."

Batman glanced at the Kaitou Kidd who was not far in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect him to say such words.

However, if you don't look at it, you don't know, this glance made Batman discover the clue.

The distance between the two was too far just now, and many details were unclear. Now there is only less than 30 meters between them. Batman can naturally discover many details that he hadn't discovered before.

For example, the steel wire hanging from the No. [-] machine does not seem to be hanging on Kaitou Kidd...

But Kaito Kidd was indeed still walking, and approaching Batman's position step by step, and the sound of footsteps never stopped playing from the loudspeaker.

Could it be a dummy?

No, even a dummy must be hung with steel wires, and Batman already has a deep understanding of Kidd's dummy, so he can be sure that the phantom thief Kidd in front of him must not be a dummy.

unless……

"Ah Fu, speed up and get close to machine No. [-], I have to confirm one thing."

Batman urged Alfred in the helicopter.
