Dean lay on the bed, picked up the book that a normal person would be sorry for the title at first glance, and read it with relish.

Within five minutes, Dean suddenly yawned and was sleepy-eyed.

The next second he closed the book and threw it aside, lay down and fell asleep, so fast that it was staggering.

Barbara has watched the same scene no less than ten times.

A lot of the time, she wondered if Dean was reading a book at all, or if he was just using it as a harmless sleeping pill.

Previously, Dean was looking through the religious books that no one reads at the Gotham City Library, and his real purpose was to find sleeping pills that worked better? Is it a pure coincidence that there is a message about Rome in the teaser letter?

Every time she saw this, Barbara had this unbelievable thought, and she didn't know how to talk to Dick.

She really didn't want to think in this direction if she could, but looking at Dean's performance, it seemed to ...... Does it really make sense?

Although it is a bit too early for a high school student to go to bed at just ten o'clock in the evening.

But Dean is clearly an exception.

During the days that Barbara spies on Dean, she discovers that Dean has a different time of rest every day, from 11:59 p.m. at the latest, to 9:30 p.m. at the earliest.

The schedule is quite irregular.

What's even more simple is that no matter what time Dean went to bed the night before, he will wake up at the same time the next day, not oversleeping or waking up early.

Could it be some strange way of practicing magic?

Barbara couldn't understand it at all, but fortunately she didn't have to.

Anyway, by midnight today, Kidd the Strange Thief arrived as promised, and Dean was still sleeping in bed, which was an absolute alibi.

As long as one of the two of them disappeared, Dean's suspicion would increase greatly.

What she doesn't know is that even though Dean is still asleep, this is not the case.

At this moment, inside Dean's bedroom.

Dean held the small surveillance system jammer that had just been activated in his hand, and calmly got out of bed to change clothes.

Under the effect of the jammer, the camera will play the image of Dean sleeping in bed on a loop, and the anomaly cannot be detected with the current monitoring technology on Earth.

After changing his clothes, Dean took out the ultra-realistic dummy that he had prepared in advance and put it on the bed, making the illusion that he had been sleeping in the bedroom.

Once the setting was complete, Dean left the bedroom and waited until he was out the door before turning off the jammer and putting it away.

For the ten days prior to this, Dean had used this method to get to the museum under surveillance and set up a number of mechanisms in advance.

"As soon as today's operation is over, I should not have another identity exposure crisis for a long time."

With that in mind, Dean set off for the Natural History Museum.

Soon after.

Dean, dressed as an ordinary person, came to the plaza of the museum.

It's late, as is customary for museums to close a few hours ago, but today is special.

At the special request of Mrs. Chandler, the organizer of the exhibition, the museum was not allowed to be closed between March 10 and March 11, and it must be open for 48 consecutive hours.

Whether this is her own intention, or the attitude of someone else, is unknown.

It's good that the museum is still open, but what is really outrageous is that at this point in Gotham evening, there are still quite a few people gathered here.

The whole large square was full of people, and at a cursory glance, there were at least two or three thousand people, not counting the number of visitors in the more than ten pavilions.

"There are more and more audiences, so it's just right, it's not in vain that I spent so much effort in the first ten days to do a good job."

Looking at the crowd in the square, Dean smiled with satisfaction, and next, he was going to perform a big magic trick in front of these audiences.

Rumble!

At this moment, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky.

When I looked up, I saw that the sky was already full of dark clouds for some time, and thunder flashed in the clouds.

As soon as the thunder sounded, the people in the square suddenly caused a commotion, some people were secretly annoyed, and some people were happy.

"It's really going to rain! The weather forecast turned out to be correct, but fortunately I brought an umbrella before going out. ”

"Shet! There was no sign of rain all day before, but it turned out to rain in the middle of the night? ”

"Hey! Man, your umbrella is quite big, can you put it down? ”

In addition to being concerned about whether they have an umbrella or not, many people are concerned about another thing.

"I heard that Kidd the Strange Thief will use a glider to move in the air, and now the weather must not use a glider, so will Kidd the Strange Thief still come?"

There was a small group of twenty or thirty young people in the square, each holding a sign that read "Kidd the Strange Thief," most of whom were women.

It looks like a fan of Kidd the Monster Thief, and one of them is worried that Kidd won't be able to use a glider.

"Kidd doesn't use a glider every time, but I'm worried that his disguise mask will come off if it gets wet, and if he can't pretend to be seen as it is, wouldn't that mean his identity will be exposed? GCPD will definitely arrest him. ”

"Huh? It's really dangerous to hear you say that, but it's better for Kidd not to come, I don't want him to be arrested and put in Black Gate Prison. ”

"What member of the Monster Thieves fanclub wants to see Kidd captured? But his notice has already been sent, and if he doesn't come, it will be a violation of his own notice, and Kidd's charm will be gone! ”

"I want him to come, but I don't want him to come, it's so entangled."

Not far away, Dean eavesdropped on the conversation of the men with a look of surprise.

Although he had known about the existence of this group on the news for a long time, it was the first time he had seen his fan group in person.

Dean originally thought that the Monster Thieves fan group would communicate with each other online at most, but he didn't expect them to develop to the point of organizing offline parties.

"It's nice to have someone worried, even though your worries wouldn't have happened in the first place."

Although he would love to disguise himself as a fan and have fun, Dean now has more important actions to do.

He looked at the jungle pavilion guarded by many police forces, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"As I thought, everyone thinks Julius Caesar's guidance is about the Jungle Pavilion, but unfortunately, you're wrong."

Looking at the time, there was still more than an hour before the arrival of midnight, which was completely enough for Dean to make the last arrangement.

He turned around and walked away without looking back.

The target is the book exhibition hall on the west side of the cultural relics exhibition hall, which corresponds to the jungle exhibition hall on the east side of the cultural relics exhibition hall.
