Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 61 Operations of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Director, Gotham has discovered the existence of suspected superpowers."

There is a trident-like building complex in New York, called the Tricurved Wing Building, which is the headquarters of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency.

That is the legendary S.H.I.E.L.D.

On this day, Maria Hill, the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., walked into the director's office with a document.

Pushing open the door, I saw a back figure in a black windbreaker and that shiny black braised egg head across the desk.

And the loud air conditioner...

"Tell me the details, Hill."

Nick Fury turned around and sat down at the desk, revealing a blindfolded face and a serious smile.

I saw Hill put the information on the table and explained solemnly.

"Recently, a thief who called himself Kaitou Kidd was active in Gotham. He was good at stealing with brilliant magic tricks and disguises. The stolen gems were either returned to the original owner or donated."

"A grand rogue? We don't need to take care of such trivial matters. Let's get straight to the point. We have no time to waste."

Agent Hill nodded, and saw that she put her hand on a certain position on the desk, and a ring suddenly lit up centered on Hill's palm.

The lights in the director's office dimmed automatically.

Immediately, streaks of fine light green light shot down from the ceiling, sweeping across the top of the material.

Then, a holographic image screen appeared in front of the two of them.

The picture played on the screen is exactly the confrontation between Kaitou Kidd and Batman a few days ago!
In fact, the scene of the battle between Maggison and Batman was not filmed. After all, the helicopter of the TV station is far away from the observation tower, and the angle of view is very poor. Only a few pictures are clearer.

However, with these few pictures, coupled with the statements of many witnesses at the time, it was enough for the supercomputer of S.H.I.E.L.D. to simulate the scene at that time. In terms of intelligence, the supercomputer of S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed not as good as Jarvis, but It won't be too far behind.

Under Hill's fast-forwarding, the screen just stopped at the moment when Kaitou Kidd summoned the wall of fire, and then the red light disappeared in a flash.

"Director, the current consensus of the CIA and the FBI is that the sudden appearance of the firewall is some kind of unknown chemical reaction, and the red light can be achieved by flashbangs... But I don't think things are that simple."

Hill was talking about Kidd, but Fury kept his eyes on Batman.

"Bruce, he still goes out..."

If you want to find a person with the most secrets on earth, then he must be Nick Fury. There are very few things in the world that he doesn't know. Obviously, the fact that Batman is Bruce Wayne is not one of them.

Similarly, he is also very clear about the incident eight years ago. Although the storm only affected Gotham, the madness and terror of that person even Fury, who is known as the king of secret agents, has lingering fears.

He once thought that Bruce, who lost Rachel, would be depressed for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect Batman to come back today.

"If he's willing to join the Avengers..."

"Director, I think the last ability Kaitou Kidd showed is probably his superpower."

Agent Hill didn't know what was going on in his director's mind, and continued to express his judgment.

"We should do a risk assessment on it, it's just..."

Hearing this, Fury came back to his senses in an instant. He used a brain-strengthening potion, so he heard everything Hill said just now, including the action against the Kaitou Kidd.

"Well, let Coulson get in touch with this strange thief."

Fury said it quite naturally.

"Uh... Director, Coulson was sent to New Mexico by you not long ago."

Hill reminded.

"...then let Ward go."

Fury was silent for [-] seconds, and then said the next candidate.

"Agent Ward just didn't go on a mission recently, so he is indeed a good candidate. It's just the director. We don't know the true identity of Kaito Kidd yet."

Agent Hill was a little ashamed, this was the first time she couldn't find someone.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has the most advanced and comprehensive monitoring system and database in the world. They can control any monitor on the earth including satellites at any time. In theory, no one's whereabouts in the world can be hidden from S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, when Hill tried to find out the true identity of Kaitou Kidd through Gotham's surveillance system and satellites.

She failed.

It's not because the surveillance didn't capture Kaito Kidd.

On the contrary, there are too many photographs.

From Kidd's first crime, his trajectory can be traced from being pretended to be Sheriff Aaron, to being stopped by Catwoman, and he was dug out by Hill.

But then, Kidd's series of operations made Hill look stupid.

Sometimes he would deliberately appear in the surveillance camera, and then changed from one civilian to another many times, and then suddenly rushed into the dead corner of the surveillance. Even so, Hill could deduce that Kidd was trend.

However, Kidd often likes to get into the crowd of people and change his clothes again at this time. At the same time and at the same place, she actually found more than a hundred people who suspected Kidd.

In the end, the suspect was inexplicably lost.

All the faces of Kaito Kidd exposed to the monitor were collected by Hill. After comparing them one by one, she found that there were indeed such people in the world, and most of them were residents of Gotham.

A small number of them are world famous stars.

In short, none of them are his original face.

After listening to Hill's explanation, Fury's face was gloomy for a while, although outsiders couldn't see it.

He immediately understood the real threat of Kaitou Kidd.

Kaito Kidd's unscientific disguise technique, if applied to spy invasions, would cause great damage to any country.

No country can stop this person from infiltrating, and it is even difficult to detect that a country's president has been replaced by him.

In contrast, the superpowers that are suspected of magic seem insignificant.

Fury, who thinks he wants to maintain world peace, can't let this kind of person be free outside, and Kaito Kidd must be under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D.

At the very least, find a way to break that disguise ability.

"Hill! From now on, list Phantom Thief Kidd as a Level 7 file in S.H.I.E.L.D., and monitor his next action at any time!"

"Yes, Chief."

"Is there any news from Coulson?"

After a while, Fury suddenly asked.

"He said that the hammer that fell from the sky seems to have some kind of unknown magnetic field, and its mass is so large that no matter what method is used, the hammer cannot be moved."

Agent Hill replied.

"By the way, he also mentioned that a man broke into the test base last night. This man tried to pull out the hammer but failed. He also claimed to be... Thor."
