Chapter 5: Kidd and Robin
The gunshots rang out suddenly, and Dean's face did not change, as if he had expected it.
At the same time as the gunshots rang out, no, almost a second before the gunshots rang out, Dean had already reacted.
Dean quickly turned to face the direction where the bullet was fired, and then grabbed the corner of the cloak like lightning and raised it high, so that the cloak covered his body.
When the white cloak blocked Dean's body, more than a dozen bullets were fired just as he hit the cloak.
However, the piercing bullet did not pierce the cloak, on the contrary, it was as if it hit some extremely elastic object, and it bounced off at once.
And the kinetic energy on these bullets seemed to dissipate suddenly, and instead of being bounced out at high speed, it fell to a position less than two meters in front of Dean in a clanging sound.
And Kidd's white cloak was still as clean as new, not even a single mark was left on it.
Blocking the bullet, Dean kept moving, his right hand pulling the cloak back behind him, and his left hand flickered, making a gesture in the direction of the dozen or so shooters.
Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, more than a dozen playing cards flew out of Dean's hand, shooting at every gun on the opposite side with incredible speed and force.
The cards flew as if they had a life of their own, and each card shot down a gun with unmistakable precision.
"What! How is that possible? β
At this moment, all the people who witnessed the scene just now opened their mouths in surprise, especially the dozen or so people who took the initiative to attack the monster thief Kidd.
If they hadn't experienced it firsthand, they wouldn't have believed that a poker hand could play with that much force.
It's not a big deal that Kidd's cloak is bulletproof, after all, in this day and age, there are so many lightweight materials that can be bulletproof.
The most shocking thing was Kidd's inhuman reflexes and unhurried attitude, and the fact that he was directly holding his cloak to block bullets with his hands, and he was not injured.
Even if he wasn't injured, he could still use playing cards to knock out the guns in the hands of more than a dozen people at once.
Just play cards!
Who can do such a thing?
"Who fired the gun just now?"
On the other hand, Gordon was choked by the unexpected gunshot, and his whole face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.
Given that the art museum is a public place and there are still hundreds of citizens in the exhibition halls, Gordon had previously strictly required his subordinates to wait for orders before opening fire into the room.
He knew very well what the police in Gotham would do if they weren't reined in.
After seeing the identity of the other party, Gordon's face was slightly better, but it was still ugly.
It turned out that the person who had just fired was not from the GCPD, but the armed security guard inside the museum.
The museum's security guards are not like the GCPD, which takes orders from old Gordon and shoots them on the spot if they see a threat.
Even if there is a manslaughter in the end, there will be a management side to settle it, at least that's what people tell them.
Gordon was unhappy about this, but he had no way or position to stop it, because in this land, the behavior of security guards is legal and compliant......
"We'll talk about the four of you deserting later, now everyone spread out to both sides, form an encirclement around the monster thief Kidd, and let the civilians retreat behind the encirclement!"
Gordon quickly calmed down and ordered the guards around him.
While people were shocked by Kidd's performance, Dean's heart was not so bright.
"Hiss--my hands are numb! It's better to just get out of the way......"
The cloak flicked off the bullet, and the backhand flying card returned looking very handsome and chic, and the price was that Dean's right hand was still numb until now.
Thanks to the fact that his bulletproof cloak comes from the system, it has a certain effect of absorbing kinetic energy, otherwise even if he can change ordinary bulletproof materials without being pierced by these dozen bullets, Dean's hands will be useless.
But even though most of the bullet's kinetic energy was absorbed, it still felt a strong paralyzing sensation when it reached Dean's right hand, and it felt like an elbow suddenly hitting a table.
However, there are two sides to everything, and if you pay the price, you will naturally have to reap the rewards.
In that scene just now, the hundreds of tourists and guards in the stadium combined provided Dean with a total of more than 400 amazement points.
"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but I was interrupted by an unexpected situation just now, and I would like to offer my apologies to all of you, please accept it."
Dean endured the numbness in his hands, kept a calm smile on his face throughout, and bowed deeply to the crowd.
"Is he serious? I never thought a criminal would be so ...... Courtesy. Oh my god, it's crazy. β
The hundreds of civilians in the arena looked at Kidd, the strange thief who bowed and apologized, and their hearts were full of absurdity.
"Okay, I accept your apology, but that's after you're in jail."
At this moment, a not-so-friendly voice rang out from the side.
As soon as the voice landed, Dean felt a sudden gust of wind blow from his side.
Before he could get a closer look at what it was, Dean's body reflexively leaned back.
Then, a leg appeared in Dean's line of sight, just a few centimeters before the tip of his nose.
If Dean hadn't leaned back in time, he would have kicked him in the face.
"Haven't you heard that you can't hit someone in the face? Robin, or should I call you Wonder Boy? β
Dean quickly pulled back a few positions and said to the attacker with an unchanging face.
"I accept both, it's better than the Strange Thief Kid anyway."
Robin retracted his kicked right leg and stared at Kidd the Monster Thief for a flaw.
"Hey, I was going to finish my first performance today, but I was forcibly interrupted by you several times, which made me very embarrassed."
Dean sighed, reached out to cover his forehead, and said with a distressed look.
"I don't usually like to make small talk to criminals before they are subdued, and now it's a serious violation of my rules to say those two things to you."
Robin tilted his head and was about to pounce on Dean.
The distance between the two is only a few positions, and at most two or three steps can be close to the extent of face to face.
However, just as Robin took the first step, he vaguely noticed that the corners of Dean's mouth were inexplicably hooked up a little.
It looked like a wicked smile that naturally flowed when the conspiracy succeeded.
Robin suddenly remembered what Batman had said, "Don't underestimate any opponent, especially when they laugh quietly." β
Could it be that Kidd the Thief was thinking about something, just waiting for him to get closer?
Surprised, Robin's figure paused for a moment.
At this moment, the corners of Dean's mouth rose more obviously.
"I'd love to have more fun with you, bat bird, but alasβ"
I saw Dean stretch out his hand, and at some point there was an ancient pocket watch in his hand.
The time shown on the table is 21:35.
"It's time for the curtain call."
