Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"Hey, you can actually talk to birds?" Mindy, wearing Lucas's large T-sleeves, came out and looked at him jokingly, "Did you raise this?"

Mindy teased Hope with her fingers.

"What! I'm not a bird!" Hope jumped up in disgust, but was forcefully stroked by Mindy, and his feathers became messy.

"Damn it!" Hope was furious.

But his words sounded to Mindy like a pleasant chirping of birds, and her eyebrows arched, as if she thought this was a sign of Hope's happiness.

"It's so lively. How did you raise it?" Mindy asked curiously.

It's embarrassing to say it, but Mindy is a pet killer. Whatever she raises will kill whatever she raises. In the end, she stopped raising small animals.

"No need to raise him, Hope is a companion." Lucas said.

"Eh?"

"Lucas..." Hope said movedly.

"Weird person..." Mindy muttered, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Lucas opened the refrigerator and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Mindy shook her head, just as her stomach growled.

"Ahem, anything is fine." A blush appeared on her face.

"Then let me reheat the curry from before."

While Mindy was eating her dinner honestly, Lucas went upstairs to clean the guest room. When he came downstairs, Mindy had already finished eating and had finished washing the dishes.

It was already early in the morning. Lucas looked at Mindy who was still energetic and said, "I'm going to rest first. Your room is next to it."

"I know, I know." Mindy waved her hand, "Go to bed quickly, don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Lucas nodded, "Call me if you need anything."

Lucas was a light sleeper and would wake up in a heartbeat if Mindy knocked on the door.

The next day, when Lucas got up and walked out of the bedroom, the door to the guest room next door for Mindy was already closed.

[Stacey: Are you going to Hell’s Kitchen again today?

Lucas: Yes.

Parker: So should we call Mindy?

Lucas: As for this...

Lucas: She's at my house now.

Parker:? ? ?

Stacey:? ? ?

Parker: I live next door, how could I not know? ]

Lucas looked at Peter beside him, who was winking at him and making lip-syncs.

"When did you bring her back?"

Lucas lowered his head and sent a message on his phone.

[Lucas: Come to my house after school and talk about it.

Stacey: Okay.

Parker: OK. ]

After finally staying up until after school, Peter rushed out of the classroom like a wild horse that had escaped the reins.

"Let's go." He couldn't restrain his eagerness.

"Wait for me!" Gwen said helplessly as she walked out of the next class.

Lucas followed the two of them silently. They were going to his house anyway, and they couldn't get in without the key.

When the door opened, Mindy, who was sitting cross-legged, turned back happily, "Hey, you're back!"

Then she opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Are you here too?"

"Hello, Mindy." Gwen greeted with a smile.

"By the way, why are you here Lucas?" Peter asked.

Mindy looked at Peter intently for several seconds, then suddenly realized: "Spider-Man?"

"Eh?"

"I didn't expect Spider-Man to be that big." Mindy curled her lips, "Although I had expected it."

"Um..." Peter looked at the tiny Mindy, "Aren't you smaller than me?"

"But my mental age is older than yours!" Mindy jumped off the sofa and said with her hands on her hips.

"What basis do you have to prove this?" Peter blinked, "How should mental age be defined?"

Mindy stared at him, but couldn't think of anything to retort for a while, so she could only bulge into a puffer in frustration.

"Mindy, don't be serious with Peter." Gwen said, somewhat dumbfounded.

Not to mention Mindy, even she would sometimes be confused by Peter in some inexplicable places.

Gwen's words were a step up for Mindy, and she took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, then I won't care."

"Before we get down to business, I hope you all understand the danger of this operation." Lucas said seriously, "What we have to deal with is no longer a small character like Thompson, but a leader who has done many evil things and hides behind the gang. If anything goes wrong, people around us may be in danger."

"I have already realized it." Peter said, "Now that I have such ability, I have to do something for everyone."

"I feel the same way. If you leave it alone, I will always feel quite uncomfortable." Gwen agreed.

"I have dealt with those bad guys too many times," Mindy said. "Finally, I have the news about the big boss behind the scenes. I will not back down now."

"In this case, I can't lag behind you." Hope said, "Add me."

Looking at his companions with firm faces, Lucas raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Now that you are mentally prepared, I'm relieved."

"The only chance we have to get information about Kingpin is tonight. There will be a contraband transaction at the dock, and Kingpin's bodyguard codename Bullseye will appear there."

"Bullseye..." Mindy repeated the name under her breath, "I know him."

"A notorious mercenary, he was caught by the police in his early years and then set fire to the prison." She said, "Although he is not as good as top mercenaries such as Deathstroke and Deathstroke, his reputation in the mercenary world is It’s pretty good, and Kingpin must have hired him because of this.”

"You know a lot," Peter said in surprise.

"Humph." Mindy raised her tail again after being praised, "Of course, I'm a professional."

She said: "Although I don't think I am a vigilante, but if you want to gain a foothold in this line of work, you can't do it without reliable sources of intelligence."

The words were rough, but Lucas frowned. He naturally understood the importance of intelligence. Without Tim's help, I'm afraid they would still be at a loss for the name Kingpin. This is a problem that must be solved sooner or later.

The Phantom Thieves cannot rely on information from Tim, not because they are worried about giving false information, but because everyone sees how busy Batman and his Robin are.

There are so many superheroes in New York, and there are even several vigilantes in one district, while Gotham only has Batman and his family, which means they will be very busy, but this is also their own choice.

The Phantom Thieves are indeed not superheroes in the universal sense. All their information comes from the Internet. Although the information on the Internet is mixed with truth and falsehood, the Phantom Thieves have their own methods of identification. The shadows of the spiritual world will not lie. of.

"You are right, I will find a way." Lucas, as the leader of the group, said, "Today's focus is still on how to get Kingpin's information from Bullseye."

"Of course, knock him down, torture him, and make him tell all the information about that bastard!" Mindy smiled excitedly.

Bullseye is undoubtedly a dangerous enemy, but for Mindy, the more dangerous it is, the more excited she is.

"No, no, no, isn't this dangerous?" Peter twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you so cowardly? Just rush in!" Mindy jumped up.

Lucas coughed lightly and said, "What did I say in the first place?"

"Uh... okay." Mindy shrugged, "It's up to you, boss."

She sat back down again, but her legs were still shaking restlessly.

"I have explored the terrain around the pier before, uh..." Peter glanced at Mindy hesitantly, and finally said vaguely: "That place is fine."

"Two plans. If in reality we cannot get the information about Kingpin from Bullseye, then we will enter the impression space. Shadows will not lie."

Since Mindy couldn't hear Hope, he spoke much more freely.

"In this case, it will be no problem." Gwen raised her eyebrows.

Based on their exploration of the impression space these days, they have also summarized some of its laws.

Unlike when entering the palace, innocent people around will be implicated, entering the impression space will not have such troubles, at least for now, that is the case.

And the closer you are to yourself in reality, the closer you will be to the shadow of yourself in the impression space.

This is why Lucas hopes Peter can have a helper. It is too dangerous for Peter to attract and divert the attention of so many gangs by himself and buy time for him and Gwen.

Peter scratched his head, "Oh, you guys are really...actually, it doesn't matter if I'm alone."

"Just in case, okay?" Gwen rolled her eyes at him, "I don't want to find a gun hole in your body."

What's more, once he is shot and injured, Peter cannot reveal his injury in front of Aunt May. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how the old man will be stimulated. Peter does not want this.

Mindy slowly frowned. Only now did she realize that there seemed to be some invisible barrier between herself and this small team. She couldn't even integrate into the conversation between them. To put it bluntly, I just can't understand it.

Mindy was not a patient person and said directly: "What riddle are you talking about? Can't you explain it more clearly?"

"We have ways to get intelligence, and your and Peter's mission is to go to the pier and cause a scene. The more people's attention you attract, the better." Lucas simply told Mindy what she needed to do. she.

"Making a scene? I like it!" Mindy's eyes lit up.

It's not that she didn't notice the concealment of several people, but Mindy didn't care about it. It was almost the same between Mindy and Big Daddy before.

Mindy doesn't need to think so much, she just needs to do things according to Big Dad's instructions, and the same goes for following Lucas.

"Fighting is okay, I need enough bullets." Mindy said.

Mindy's request made several people look at each other. There were firearms, but they were model pistols. Bullets? Do you want air bullets? After all, for the Phantom Thieves, as long as the model pistol is realistic enough to deceive the shadows, and Peter does not use a gun when fighting in reality, this means that they do not have this type of supplies.

The long silence gave Mindy a bad feeling.

"Wait...you don't have one, right?" Mindy said in disbelief.

"What kind of illusion makes you think that we students can hold guns?" Peter said helplessly.

"What about you, Lucas?" Mindy looked at Lucas expectantly.

Lucas was silent for a few seconds and said, "When I was in Gotham, there was..."

Living in a crime alley is a very dangerous thing if you don't have the ability to protect yourself. Even though Batman might come to save you, you still have to survive until Batman shows up.

Therefore, sometimes even if it costs a little more, people still need to get enough capital to protect themselves.

"You're actually from Gotham?!" Mindy opened her eyes wide, "No wonder..." She felt the same way.

She raised a smile and said, "Speaking of Gotham, let me tell you a very funny thing. There was a gang in Hell's Kitchen who wanted to enter Gotham. But before Batman took action, the local gang in Gotham almost killed them. The whole army was wiped out, and almost all the people were dead in the end. They returned to Hell’s Kitchen dejected and were annexed by other gangs. It really made me laugh to death.”

"Well, this is normal. It may be really difficult for outsiders to understand that city." Lucas said with emotion.

The local gangs in Gotham themselves have been in a scuffle. Everyone wants to monopolize Gotham, but this is absolutely impossible. Not only Batman cannot agree, but other gangs cannot agree either. For outsiders, these gangs are even more repulsive and will not let anyone in to share the cake. This is their tacit understanding.

After sharing the gossip, now we have to get back to business. The supply issue must be solved. After all, Mindy does not have super powers like Peter. Even if she is reckless, she must fight a well-prepared battle.

"Forget it." Mindy sighed resignedly, "I'll go back."

Even though she and her father were still a bit awkward, Mindy still knew what was important and what was important. At the moment, getting information about Jin Bin was undoubtedly the most important thing.

Mindy asked, "When do we do this tonight?"

"Twelve o'clock."

"Huh...it's true that those little turtles will choose the time to act." Mindy nodded, "I will contact you two hours before that."

Seeing Mindy jumping out of the window habitually, Gwen couldn't help but said: "I'm still not used to children of Mindy's age participating in our actions, especially from Peter's side."

"Don't underestimate her. Mindy is much more experienced than us in fighting gangs," Lucas said.

And Peter remembered Mindy's strong performance that day and nodded silently.

Lucas looked at Gwen, "The faster we act here, the safer Peter and Mindy will be."

After learning from Mindy that Bullseye was an experienced mercenary, Lucas gave up on the idea of ​​getting information from him.

They don't have professional torture techniques, nor do they have enough money to impress a mercenary. The only thing they can rely on is the ability to enter the impression space.
