Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Before taking a break, Lucas also tried to contact Tim.

[Lucas: Are you okay? ]

No reply for a long time.

A slight uneasiness arose in my heart. Tim's response to messages was always very fast, and he had never heard anything like today.

Lucas was a little worried, but the slight tingling from his heart made him feel even more tired.

Like I said before, today was just too much.

[Lucas: When you see it, please give me a message? ]

When this message was sent, Lucas finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the hand holding the phone hung weakly on the bed.

He fell into a deep sleep.

What Lucas didn't know was that Tim had indeed not returned to the real world, and all the locators on his body had failed in an instant. This was undoubtedly a real threat to the Bat family across the river. Depth charges.

Batman calmly investigated Tim's last location before disappearing.

The world on the mysterious side is obviously too early for the technological side. Batman has obtained information about Lionel in Tim's computer, as well as... a survey of the recent death population in Metropolis.

Tim did not put the information about the Phantom Thieves in the computer. As a master hacker himself, he knew better than anyone that information placed in the virtual world was the most unsafe. Such caution gives Batman a huge blind spot when investigating, not to mention that the Phantom Thieves still have no sense of existence in the eyes of the people of Metropolis.

No clue at all...

Batman's heart sank a little bit. After Jason's incident, he almost had PTSD from the disappearance of his child.

Tim's disappearance soon became known to all members of the Bat Family except Jason, who went to Kama Taj for unknown reasons.

The reason why Jason is not worried is because the most rebellious child in the family actually had a video chat with Bruce when he left Gotham.

When the Batcave was invaded by Jason, Batman thought Jason was going to pull some trouble again. As a result, he stared at the Red Hood on the screen for three minutes before hearing the hoarse voice of his second son.

"Old man, I have something to go to the Himalayas."

"Why?" Bruce didn't expect that Jason would take the initiative to report to him, and he asked quickly out of surprise.

"I have my own reasons, which are beyond your control."

Okay, it's the familiar Red Hood.

But before hanging up the communication, Jason suddenly said, "Don't die, old man."

Bruce didn't think that Jason would say something incomprehensible. He felt that Jason might know some information that he didn't know. But after a few months of tension, nothing strange happened in Gotham, so he decided to do it. Bruce, who had made more than a dozen plans, relaxed slightly.

But he didn't expect that it would be Tim who got into trouble first...

Kama Taj is the territory of the mages, where electronic products are basically ineffective. He can't contact Jason. Of course, Bruce won't ask Jason for help now.

The alarm in the Batcave sounded, and Arkham Asylum was once again blown up by super villains. Gotham needs Batman, but Tim needs Bruce.

Big Bat sighed and sent a message to another person.

Dealing with a whole ship of aliens told Lucas that it was more draining than he imagined, and he slept from the afternoon until the morning two days later.

Lucas, who had woken up feeling refreshed, had not yet realized this.

He stretched, "Hope?"

The room was silent.

Lucas picked up the phone and looked at it. Isn't this...the date wrong? !

Only now did he realize that he was very hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for several days. No, he had indeed not eaten for several days.

[Lucas:?

Stacey:! ! !

Stacey: Lucas, you're finally awake!

McCready: Yeah, you've been asleep for two days.

Parker: It's okay, buddy, I'm about the same.

Stacey: You are almost starving after sleeping for two days. Come down and have dinner with us.

Stacey: Hope's here too. ]

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit ridiculous after sleeping for two days, fortunately he had a group of reliable partners.

While riding the elevator down, Lucas opened the communication field with Tim again.

Still lying there alone was the message he wanted Tim to reply to.

Could it be...something happened?

The uneasiness in Lucas's heart resurfaced again, but this time it was more serious than before.

[Osborne: I also understand the situation. It’s really not easy for you.

Parker: Yes, we were obviously here for vacation, but we encountered so much trouble.

Stacey: Especially when the troubles come all at once, I don’t know what to do.

Osborne: Sorry, you guys would be able to relax a little bit if I were here.

Parker: Don't say that. Your company's affairs are also very important.

McCready: That's right.

McCready: And our leader has also woken up.

McCready: Lucas will find a way. ]

The message in the group was buzzing. When Lucas came to the restaurant, he saw three people sitting at a table, but they all looked down at their phones.

"Lucas! It's great that you woke up!" Hope saw Lucas for the first time and shouted excitedly, "Seeing you awake makes us all worried to death!"

Lucas looked at the three of them helplessly, "We are all face to face, why are we still chatting on mobile phones?"

Peter smiled and put away his phone, "There's still Harry here."

Gwen looked at Lucas with concern, "Lucas, are you feeling okay?"

"not bad."

"I woke up in time." Mindy raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of smiles.

"First, let's talk to Lucas about our actions in the past two days." Peter said, "We have been carefully exploring Henshaw's palace."

"How?" Lucas asked with concern, "Have you found any traces of Raven?"

Peter shook his head and said sadly: "We went to the previous warehouse. The traces of the battle were all from before. Raven is no longer there, and we also found even more terrifying traces."

Peter took out his phone, clicked on the photo album, and pulled out a photo to show to Lucas.

The photos are very clear. Although the mobile phones in the hall cannot connect to the Internet, their functions that do not require the Internet are not affected. So Lucas can clearly see the deep hoof prints in the photo.

When they fell into the warehouse earlier, they were safe thanks to the Queen's secretions. The secretions didn't even deform, but in the photo, a hoof print was pressed out. It's hard to imagine how huge it was.

"Are there any such traces?" Lucas asked seriously.

"Well, there are four marks in total, which is exactly..." Peter stopped talking.

Lucas sighed, remembering the time he had just spent with Raven.

"The demon army... is real."

Yes, Raven is not a person who likes to joke. She tells the truth and lying is weird.

"Too bad..." Peter sighed, "I want to contact the Avengers, but I don't know how to get them to believe me."

Lucas also had some headaches. An army of demons was obviously something they couldn't deal with. They could only hand it over to the most powerful superheroes on the planet. But the problem was that Peter's photo couldn't be used as an advantage. evidence.

There are too many chaotic people in the world. Just to meet superheroes, all kinds of scary photos are often sent to the Avengers and Justice League, just to attract superheroes and meet them. This kind of thing happens a lot. Everyone was numb.

Photos of the footprints of a huge creature like Peter are the best to fake. There are tens of thousands if not thousands of them every year. How can superheroes believe this?

"It's not that I can't contact Mr. Stark, it's just that his AI butler has been replying to me recently, as if Mr. Stark is making something that can protect everyone." Peter said.

Superman's death changed a lot of things. Even if he didn't actually die, he was already dead in the world's perception.

Even a proud man like Tony Stark would admit that Superman was powerful, but such a Superman still died at the hands of a monster that appeared out of nowhere, which filled Tony's heart with anxiety.

Superman has been sacrificed, so what should we do if an equally powerful monster comes out next time? Where on earth is there another expendable Superman?

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Tony began to work behind closed doors again. This time he also called Dr. Banner. Many news from the outside world were blocked by him willfully. Peter could still get a reply from Jarvis, which was considered a sign of importance.

Lucas actually has a bit of a path towards the Justice League. Tim is a disciple of Batman, and Batman is the veteran of the Justice League. This path can't be any harder, but it's a pity...

"Tim... still hasn't replied to me." Lucas pursed his lips.

He felt that something might have happened to Tim.

"how come……"

"By the way, has Lionel been here?" Lucas asked.

"I came here the next day. I just saw you were still sleeping and left." Hope said, "But he said that he might be detained by Luther. Let's try not to contact him first. If nothing happens, If so, he will still come to us."

Lucas sighed.

There are three major events in front of him now.

The first thing, and what they planned to do at the beginning, was to stop Henshaw's conspiracy and make him repent. However, there are currently many disturbing changes in Henshaw's palace, secret treasures that cannot be found in any case, and reality. Similar characteristics. Understanding what's going on behind the scenes is a top priority.

The second thing is the demon army induced from Raven. It is unknown whether it exists or when it will appear. From the moment I saw the photo, the possibility of the former is already very high.

The third thing is Tim's disappearance. It is known that Tim has entered a rift in reality in a different space. In the rift, he may enter a palace like Henshaw, or he may enter a world that briefly overlaps with reality. No matter what kind of space it is, it is extremely dangerous for Tim, who is still an ordinary person. It can be said that every minute and second in the past has made Tim's survival rate drop a little bit. Even if he is a battle-hardened Red Robin, he is still vulnerable to those extremely powerful shadows.

"We..." Lucas closed his eyes.

He is struggling.

No matter which thing he chooses to solve first, there will undoubtedly be a series of chain reactions, and Lucas doesn't want to regret it.

"...Go and save people."

Lucas opened his eyes and looked at his companions in surprise.

"Eh?"

His blue eyes were wide open and round. This was a rare cuteness on Lucas's face.

"Lucas really wants to save his friends. In fact, I do the same." Peter scratched his head, "You know, the thing about Harry."

"Robin, no, it should be called Red Robin now." The smart Gwen saw how much Lucas cared about Tim, "He also helped us a lot, so how could we just ignore him? "

"That's right." Mindy patted Lucas on the shoulder, "Not to mention those demon armies and so on. We can tell at a glance that they are not something we can deal with. Just trust the adults. How can we have to worry about them all? .”

"……Thanks."

Hope stretched out her wings and rubbed Lucas' face, "Don't say thank you, our Phantom Thieves were originally established to help everyone."

"Okay." Lucas nodded vigorously.

"I think there's a good chance Red Robin is still in the cracks," Hope said.

"But didn't you say that people in the sandwich space will automatically return to reality after a while?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case. Unless he enters the interstitial space, a place that does not exist in reality, that is the real alien space."

"It's been two days since Red Robin disappeared, right?! I haven't eaten or drank for two days..." Gwen said worriedly, "Will there be any problems?"

This is what Lucas is worried about. He believes in Tim's training and willpower, but if humans don't eat or drink for a long time, problems will definitely occur.

"Don't worry about this. The time flow between the gap space and reality is different. I have already investigated it. The time when the gap space in Metropolis overlaps with reality is only one hour a day. This means that Red Robin actually only passes by It took two hours.”

Hope fluttered his feathers, "But even so, we have to hurry up and save people. The desire of shadows that are not bound by the master of the palace for living people is quite terrifying."

In the gap space.

Tim estimated that he had been in this strange space for nearly two hours.

In fact, the moment he came in, Tim felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have been so reckless. This was a completely blank field for him.

But if you have already come in, you can only go on bravely.

Tim checked the props on his body, "The equipment...the electronic equipment is indeed useless. As expected, there is no food and water..."

When he came out to investigate, Tim was wearing plain clothes and naturally did not bring these survival supplies, which meant that he could not survive in this space for too long. Fortunately, Lionel was there before he came in and he disappeared in front of him. Hopefully Superboy can find Lucas.

He took a look at the green sky and the coffins all over the street. If you throw away these, there is no doubt that this is the street of the metropolis, but Tim saw buildings that would never appear here.

"Is that...Wayne Tower?"
