Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Hell's Kitchen is beginning to change.

Although most people can't tell what exactly has changed, this most chaotic place in Manhattan has indeed begun to change.

Mindy chewed the bubble gum in her mouth and blew out a pink bubble. She put her hands behind her head and looked relaxed.

Big Daddy frowned and looked at the people cleaning the streets, "Those gangsters..."

Of course he could tell the identity of the people cleaning the streets with his eyes, but Big Daddy didn't understand why the situation became like this. The originally vicious gangsters actually started to maintain the environment of the community.

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Mindy couldn't help but smile, showing the little tiger teeth between her lips.

She was in a good mood. Although she had seen the existence of another world before, she was still not sure whether she could convert Wilson. After all, this matter was not Mindy's area of ​​expertise.

But things are different now. The changes brought about by repentance have gradually appeared.

Mindy was so relaxed that Big Daddy, who knew her very well, noticed something strange. He looked at his daughter thoughtfully.

"Mindy, do you know something inside?"

"Ah..." Mindy blinked innocently. She and Big Daddy have always lived and ate together. There is no secret at all. However, things about the palace and the other world cannot be revealed easily. .

So she could only say vaguely: "Well, that's right."

"Is it related to your private action?"

Even though Mindy ran away from home, Big Daddy paid close attention to his daughter, but he didn't put Lucas and others on the list of people who needed special attention. Instead, Mindy went to the dock privately and confronted Bullseye. Big daddy still knows about it.

"Uh... does it count?"

Seeing Mindy's evasive eyes, Big Daddy knew that the inside story was related to Mindy, but he was afraid that no matter how much he thought about it, he would never think about things in another world.

Big Daddy sighed and rubbed Mindy's head, "No matter how you did it..." He paused and smiled, "I'm proud of you."

"Dad..." Mindy was stunned when she saw the smile on Big Daddy's face. She blinked again, "Really, Dad, don't say such things suddenly."

Although she said this, the smile on her face undoubtedly revealed her true thoughts.

"Dad, if Wilson becomes a good person, will you kill him?" Mindy asked tentatively.

When this issue was suddenly mentioned, the smile on Big Daddy's face faded a little. He frowned and fell into silence for a long time.

"...Become a good person? Mindy, is this the information you got?" Of course Big Daddy couldn't accept it, "Are you sure?"

Mindy nodded, "Of course."

The Phantom Thieves took the treasure with their own hands, and now Wilson has repented and is no longer a villain.

Although I don’t believe that human nature can change easily, the Phantom Thieves’ previous repentance actions in Hell’s Kitchen have laid the foundation for this, which at least makes this thing not sound so unbelievable.

"That's it..."

Although he cried out emotionally that he could not forgive and that blood must be paid with blood, rationally he understood that this person had passed away, and what he hated was no longer a certain person, but the society that caused all this.

Even if you just kill the person sitting at the top, another guy with many evil deeds will soon be brewed, it's better...

"If he has really changed his ways, I will no longer think about killing him..."

This decision was difficult, but the moment I said it, I felt extremely relaxed.

"However, I will confirm the authenticity of this matter and will keep an eye on him." Big Daddy said.

"Yeah." Mindy nodded. She actually didn't care about Wilson's life or death, but since everyone in the Phantom Thieves didn't like to see dead people, they should try to avoid it.

Wilson, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared in front of people.

"Mr. Fisk, do you have anything else to say about the Phantom Thieves' preview letter?"

"Mr. Fisk, are you going to sue the Phantom Thieves for defamation of your reputation?"

"Mr. Fisk, can you tell me in detail why the Phantom Thieves targeted you? Have you really done something shady? Or are you involved with the gang?"

Among the many reporters, only Louise directly questioned Wilson. She stared closely at Wilson's face, trying to read some unusual emotions from that expressionless face.

No matter how terrifyingly powerful Wilson is, Louise has her own ideas. Since the Phantom Thieves came out, they have not wronged good people in all the cases they have taken. Louise will not think that Wilson is rich and powerful just because he is rich and powerful. Escaped this rule.

What's more, the legendary reporter has her own connections, and she found out that the Wilson Group has abnormal and too close ties with the gang.

This is obviously not a coincidence.

Louise doesn't expect Wilson to explain everything, she just wants to find the flaw at that moment...

Wilson stopped, his face trembling, and said: "I have done a lot of wrong things. I am indeed involved with the gangs. Most of the money and materials I donated fell into the pockets of the gangs. This is my sin... …”

Just... admit it like that?

Louise opened her eyes wide. Wilson's frankness was completely beyond her expectation. This sudden revelation made the colleagues around her even more excited.

At this time, these reporters completely forgot that they had just set up to give Wilson a face, and they all swarmed up like flies seeing carrion.

"Mr. Fisk, is everything you said true? Are you really involved with the gang?"

"Mr. Fisk, do you admit that these things were influenced by the Phantom Thieves?"

"Mr. Fisk, can you tell us what the Phantom Thieves did to you?"

"Mr. Fisk..."

"Mr. Fisk..."

"Oh, yeah..." Louise was squeezed out of the outer circle by her peers. Even if she was given the nickname Reporter, Louise was still a real human being after all. Under the squeeze of so many people Next, she was still stumbling and about to fall to the ground.

A generous heart prevented a tragedy that was about to happen.

Clark supported Lois, "Are you okay, Lois?"

The tall small town boy stood still under the squeeze of the crowd, giving people a great sense of security.

"I'm fine." Louise shook her head, "Take me out first."

"You're not interviewing Fisk?" Clark asked in surprise.

Louise pursed her lips and said, "Looking at this posture, I'm the only one left. Let's go. Let's go out first."

Jimmy, who stayed in the outer circle holding the camera, was not surprised at all by Louise's choice. As Louise's old partner, he laughed, "I knew you would come out just by looking at the situation."

Louise said resentfully: "If Kent hadn't been here, I would have fallen down in the crowd."

Falling down in an excited crowd can easily cause a stampede, and it is also very easy to get injured.

Jimmy patted the camera on his shoulder, "There's nothing we can do about it, I still have this baby with me."

"Is this thing important to me?!"

"Of course! How about hundreds of thousands?" Jimmy, the straight man, said plausibly.

"...Forget it." Louise held her forehead.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Clark offered the coffee in time.

"Oh, thanks, Kent."

The delicious coffee temporarily soothed Louise's bad mood.

"Well... maybe you can call me Clark." Clark raised his eyes and showed a shy smile, "We will continue to be partners for a while, right?"

"Okay, Clark." Lois nodded and accepted his proposal.

Calling each other names obviously narrowed the distance between the two parties. Louise looked at Wilson's panic scene with her coffee in her hands and shook her head, "Fisk's performance is obviously that he has repented. The Phantom Thieves are simply faster than us. imagination."

The investigation into Zhongcheng Middle School was not in vain. After chatting with Thompson, Louise clearly felt how much the former school bully in the student's mouth had changed.

Louise is no longer interested in Wilson who blew up his truck. Her goal is always the Phantom Thieves, not the repented evildoers.

"Lois, do you think the Phantom Thieves are right?" Clark couldn't help but ask.

"I would say, it's not that important whether it's correct or not." Louise said calmly, "As journalists, we only need to show the truth to our readers."

"I think what Clark asked is our own thoughts." Jimmy said.

"So, Jimmy, what do you think?" Louise looked at Jimmy.

"I think... there's nothing wrong with it." The little red-haired assistant may have the most innocent mind among the three. He scratched his head, "Aren't all the Phantom Thieves dealing with a bunch of bad guys? It's good to let the bad guys change their ways. Yes."

Louise sighed, "Your thoughts... are quite simple."

With this tone, Jimmy instantly knew there was a reversal.

"but?"

"But the public doesn't think so."

"Why?" Jimmy asked.

"Because..." Clark lowered his eyes, "The Phantom Thieves don't have the right to judge people privately."

In this regard, Superman has a strong say. The reason why superheroes have always been restrained and cautious is because they do not have legitimate legal rights. If he strikes harder, public opinion on the Internet will explode. He doesn't even have to think about it. His old rival must be behind this. Luther is good at capturing the weaknesses of human nature and attacking them.

Of course, compared to the Justice League, which dances in shackles, the Avengers, whose base camp is in New York, appear to be much freer. After all, they have a government background, and important members, Hawkeye and Black Widow, are even direct agents. , but relatively speaking, the Avengers are not as close to the people as the Justice League.

"Correct answer." Louise snapped her fingers. It was obvious that she and Clark had come up with the same idea.

"What's more, compared to ordinary superheroes, the Phantom Thieves' methods are more bizarre and unpredictable. If you ask me, those high-level officials must be more afraid and wary of the Phantom Thieves."

As we all know, the top officials in the government are not very clean. Once they work in the government, they are worth hundreds of millions. Everyone knows what is wrong with this, but everyone has become accustomed to it.

"Doesn't fear and vigilance mean that those bastards have something up their sleeves?" Jimmy muttered, "If they are innocent, there is nothing to be afraid of."

This unintentional sentence silenced both Clark and Louise.

"You're right, but campaign funds are perfectly legal, and gun associations and pharmaceutical groups can legitimately interfere with our presidential election."

Louise cursed as she spoke, "Damn it! Why do I think all of this is reasonable! This is obviously ridiculous!"

Clark pursed his lips. It was okay not to mention it. When he mentioned it, he realized something was wrong. When did this country become like this? And no one thinks it’s wrong!

"I'll think about these ridiculous things when I get back. Regarding the Phantom Thieves... let me see what the Internet says first."

Louise turned on her mobile phone, and as expected, the Internet was shocked by Wilson's confession, and people from all walks of life came out.

"Why did you expose it yourself? Isn't it too fake?"

"It's probably because the Phantom Thieves took action."

"Phantom thief? What does the thief have to do with Wilson?"

"I've heard about the Phantom Thieves. It's said that they can steal evil hearts. That's why Fisk blew himself up."

"Huh? What does stealing a heart mean? You can't do this kind of thing no matter how much you think about it, right?"

"I've seen it on the Internet. At least the notice letter was actually sent out. It seems like someone was actually changed when someone said he was going to take away your heart. It's really amazing."

……

The voice of praise did not last long, and soon there were voices of opposition.

"What a righteous monster thief, these guys should be punished by the law, right?"

"That's right, the Phantom Thieves' methods are no different from brainwashing, right? Can they be called justice?"

"Forcibly twisting people's minds... It's scary to think about it..."

"That's true. After all, they are just a group of people who call themselves Phantom Thieves."

……

"It's really started..." Louise sighed.

Human nature is just like that, and it is difficult for people to communicate with each other. This kind of method that can distort the soul will undoubtedly cause panic.

She took out the information in her backpack and looked at the young faces on the stack of papers. She suddenly wasn't that interested in the true identity of the Phantom Thieves anymore.

Maybe...she could just have a chat with the target of suspicion?

Avengers Tower.

Hawkeye was holding his mobile phone and eating melons from the Internet, chatting with the Black Widow next to him about the Phantom Thieves incident that has taken the entire Internet by storm.

"I think they have the power to control their minds. What do you think, Nata?"

"Hmm..." Natasha watched the video of Wilson's self-destruction over and over again, "Fisk's expression was very natural, and it didn't look like he was being manipulated, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that the Phantom Thieves are masters in this area."

"At least it is certain that the Phantom Thieves are not very old." Hawkeye shrugged, "The methods are a bit ostentatious."

This is the result of profiling. Agents can always see some information that others cannot.

"Fury is a little interested in them..."

"Who is interested in that braised egg?" Tony wiped his hair with the towel on his shoulder.

He had just come out of the laboratory, and before he had time to fix himself, he heard the two agents chatting.

"A newcomer with interesting abilities?" Hawkeye said.

"Oh." After listening, Tony replied calmly, looking uninterested.

After all, the Avengers are a superhero organization that is in conflict with the Justice League, and not just any cat or dog can join it.

Hawkeye gave Black Widow a look I just knew.

Black Widow shrugged and looked at Tony, "What about that little spider? What do you think?"

"What's the point? He's too young." Tony would not let a minor join the Avengers.

"It doesn't have to be so rigid. Aren't there kids from the Titans in the Justice League next door?" Hawkeye said.

"You also said it was a Titan!" Tony rolled his eyes.

"But you reminded me. When I have time, I will go talk to the kid."
