Chapter 140: Deciphering the Suspicion of the Disappearance of the Bat Lantern
"You can't have figured out how to blame Kidd the thief, do you? It only took one night? ”
Looking at the sand table made by Bruce, Dick instantly thought of something, and showed an incredible expression.
"I came up with three different ways to achieve similar results, but only one was useful."
Bruce spoke, affirming Dick's idea.
"As I said, you should find time to improve your scouting and reasoning skills, instead of just knowing brute force every day, if you are smarter than Kidd the Monster Thief, you won't always lose to him."
The corners of Dick's mouth twitched as he listened, and he was speechless.
To tell the truth, Dick's thinking ability is already very strong, at least judging from his age and a series of achievements, he is a young elite with genius-level intelligence.
Although it often seems slow to act on Kidd the Thief, it is undeniable that Dick is able to reflect on Kidd's true plan at the end of each incident, except for some of the more peculiar parts.
Don't think it's hindsight, because most people can't even see the shallow plan of the thief Kidd, and they are led by the nose every time.
Sometimes, Dick can even ambush the thief Kidd in turn, and whether it succeeds or not, at least he has a chance to set up an ambush.
Kidd the Monster Thief's superb disguise and voice change skills allow him to have an excellent first move, and his mastery of magic gives him an advantage in misleading others.
Taken together, even those who outsmart Kidd the Monster Thief may not be able to gain insight into Kidd's overall plan in time.
Dick can do that, in fact, it is not easy.
But in Bruce's mouth, he was said to be like an impulsive and reckless brainless person, either this or that, as if Dick had endless thorns in his body and could not be corrected.
Since Dick served as Robin, Bruce has become more and more demanding on him in the past few years, and he has been picking more and more frequently, which often makes Dick feel uncomfortable.
And this is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that Dick has no way to refute Bruce, because Bruce can surpass him in all aspects, and Bruce can do what Dick can't do.
So when these words came out of Bruce's mouth, there was no sense of disobedience at all.
Conversely, can Dick do what Bruce can't?
At least for now, no.
Perhaps the creation of the Teen Titans may be one of Dick's most important achievements, but Bruce is also a founding pillar of the Justice League, and even the birth of the Teen Titans was partly due to the emulation of the Justice League.
Therefore, in front of Bruce, Dick really has nothing to praise about it.
This also deepened Dick's deep resentment towards Bruce.
Dick sighed helplessly, not wanting to discuss the matter with Bruce in depth, he brought the topic back to the original sandbox, and asked as if he hadn't heard.
"So...... How did Kidd the Thief make the bat lamp disappear that day, and are you going to use this to simulate the whole process? ”
Dick pinched his chin and asked, he himself was actually very strange about Kidd's methods, and secretly did a lot of simulations, and a few times he was close to success, but it was difficult to achieve perfect results.
"And - why use a sandbox to simulate it in such a retro way? Doesn't the Batcave have virtual projection technology? ”
"Because it's more intuitive to use this."
Bruce replied lightly.
"Well, well, you have the final say, you just said that you thought of three different ways to make Kidd the Monster Thief disappear the bat lamp, which are the three?"
Dick continued.
I saw Bruce take out a small white cloth model and pinch it with his thumb and forefinger, which was obviously the white cloth that Kidd used to cover the bat lamp before, and it was also an important part of Kidd's technique.
"In the first way, suppose that Kidd the Monster Thief has mastered some kind of space transfer technology, such as the pop channel of the mother box or futuristic technology, which may be from the 30th century or the 64th century, and the carrier of this space technology may be some other unnoticed object, or it may be this cloth."
Bruce uttered his first conjecture with a serious expression.
Dick: "......"
How to put it, Bruce's words are by no means alarmist, let alone whimsical, but an objective fact that actually exists.
For example, the Flash in Canterlot, he often goes on vacation in the 30th century, and occasionally brings back some "specialties", and the Flash's old enemy Reverse Lightning is directly from the 25th century.
Also, Superman is said to have been to the 31st century, what other superhero army did he join? Dick didn't know the details, but it was.
Even Dick himself has seen the man of the 64th century, a futuristic magician named Abora Kadabra, a supervillain who has fought alongside the Teen Titan's Lightning Kid.
It is said that it is a magician, and what people use is all unbelievable future technology, and it is more magical than magic, and its strength should not be underestimated.
All things considered, it seems reasonable to assume that Kidd the Monster Thief might also have some kind of space technology.
However, Dick, who thinks he knows something about the monster thief Kidd, still thinks it's unlikely.
"In the second way, Kidd the Monster Thief is a magician on the surface, but in fact he has magic, and the white cloth is his magic prop."
Speaking of this, Bruston paused, looked at Dick and said, "I know what you're thinking, Dick, the possibility of these two ways being true is very small, but definitely not zero!" ”
"The Zatara family has been magicians for generations, just to hide their research into magic, and no one can guarantee that the same is true for Kidd, the thief."
"Have you forgotten Cadabrah? When he first came here in the 64th century, he first disguised himself as an ordinary magician, and no one could tell that he was using futuristic technology, can you be 100% sure that Kidd the Monster Thief is not? ”
Bruce's calm question sent Dick deep in thought.
yes, he really couldn't be 100% sure that Kidd the Thief was using normal modern magic, because it was too easy to disguise it as modern magic with magic or futuristic technology, and Dick would never be able to see it.
Not only Dick, but even Bruce has a high probability of being deceived, because this is the limitation of the times.
The problem of magic is actually okay, Bruce can consult Zatana at any time, and what he is most afraid of is the kind of future black technology that I don't know how many centuries later.
It is impossible to detect the problem with the existing technical means.
"The first two possibilities are really small, so I think the third possibility has more reference value."
At this point, Bruce shifted his tone and began to speak of the last way he could think of it.
