Chapter 222: A Miracle Beyond Time and Space
Kidd the Strange Thief has sent out another warning letter!
After listening to Alfred's report, Batman's worries became more and more serious.
It's just that his worries are not entirely aimed at Kidd the Strange Thief, nor is it for the Strange Rogue Crow.
What Batman cares about is the unannounced battle of the thieves themselves, and he believes that there is some untold conspiracy behind it.
Moreover, it is very likely that there is a connection to what he is currently pursuing.
Ever since the human bat virus leaked, Batman has been busy running around, first getting clues about "Tom" from Kurt Langstone, and then being guided by O'Kilvie to find Mosaic.
Although the kidnapped Francine Langstone was rescued from Mosaic, it was eventually discovered that Mosaic was just a decoy to consume Batman's time, and the clue returned to Okilvie.
In fact, there are far more decoys than mosaics, since Okilvie replaced the penguin people in the name of Emperor Penguin, Gotham's gang warfare has not stopped for a day, and violence has continued to emerge, including the emergence of psychopathic murderers like Victor Zas.
Therefore, during this time, Robin and Batgirl were sent by Batman to conduct high-intensity patrols, and he alone went to track down the source of the human bat virus until now.
Combined with all the intelligence and information currently known, even if there is no key evidence, it is enough to conclude that the mastermind behind a series of crazy actions, including the human bat virus incident, is the emperor penguin!
Everything seemed to be gradually becoming clear, but at this juncture, a monster thief crow suddenly came out, attacked the mayor's mansion in a very short time, and directly targeted the monster thief Kidd, which suddenly became the focus of the entire Gotham.
After Kidd's actions during the Human Bat Virus incident, he is undoubtedly an existence with a special meaning to Gotham at this time.
It is conceivable that Kidd the Monster Thief will inevitably affect countless civilians when he accepts the Monster Thief Crow's challenge, and it is obviously impossible for Batman to ignore this matter.
What's even more interesting is that the showdown set by the Monster Thief Crow is in the Iceberg Casino, which is currently the most controlled territory by Emperor Penguins.
If the Monster Rogue Crow has nothing to do with Emperor Penguins, then this is too much of a coincidence.
Above the tall building, Batman hung up the call with Alfred, looked in the direction of the Gotham clock tower and thought for a moment, then jumped and disappeared into the darkness.
——
At this moment, somewhere hidden in Gotham.
Dressed in a black suit and wearing a face mask, the rogue rook was sitting on the couch, holding a white card in his hand, which was the thief Kidd's teaser letter.
"When the meeting is approaching at an interval of 116 days,
Mercury plucked one-sixtieth of the dial,
I will show miracles that transcend time and space,
The pupils that fall from the sky ......"
The Strange Thief Crow read softly from the teaser letter, and by the end of the reading, his eyes began to flicker.
"Well, it seems a little too simple...... Kidd's prophecy shouldn't be the only one to ......"
Suddenly, the strange thief black crow thought of something, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Could it be that Kidd thinks my mind can only understand this, so he deliberately set the puzzle of the teaser letter so straightforward? Is he humiliating me? ”
Realizing this, the Strange Thief Black Crow felt great humiliation and anger, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his finger bones made a gurgling sound.
Even the teaser letter in his hand was crumpled up.
"Hmph-hehe, hehe-heh, hahahahahahaha-"
Without warning, the Strange Thief Raven laughed, the laughter getting louder and louder, the anger in his eyes was gone, replaced by a cold, piercing killing intent.
"But it doesn't matter, just continue to despise me, blame Kidd, for you made a mistake from the start, and your death will not be long before you die...... When the time comes, when you are killed by someone you look down on, I don't know what expression you will show? ”
After a while, the Rogue Crow stopped laughing and reached out and pulled out a large blue gem from his bosom, which was the "Eye of the Sky" Jeai Blue Stone that he had taken from the mayor's mansion.
"Count the time, it's time to hide it in the Iceberg Casino as planned, Kidd the Monster Thief, and enjoy the last show of your life......"
On the other side, under Wayne Manor, the Bat Cave.
Robin and Batgirl are also discussing Kidd's teaser letter.
"It's a little too simple, is this really a teaser letter from Kidd the Thief? Do you think it's possible that the thief named Crow is directing and acting on his own? ”
The Bat Girl stared at the teaser and finally asked in a skeptical tone.
“……”
Robin didn't answer, and while holding his chin against it, he looked at the teaser letter in a daze.
"Hey! What do I ask you, Robin? You okay? ”
Seeing this, the bat girl stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Robin.
There was an object passing in front of him, and Robin instantly came back to his senses and asked in wonder, "What's wrong?" ”
This kid didn't hear it at all just now.
The bat girl said angrily: "I mean, is it possible for this simple and excessive teaser letter to ......?"
Who knows, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Robin: "Impossible, this notice letter is definitely from the hand of the monster thief Kidd himself!" ”
The bat girl was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Are you so sure?" This is a big difference from the level of the previous warning letter from Kidd the Monster Thief, and there is a complete possibility of forgery. ”
"From what I know of Kidd the Monster Thief, if someone really sends a warning letter in his name, he will immediately show up to mock this botched imitation, and then send out the real warning letter immediately after."
Robin said with great conviction.
"Hmmm......"
The Bat Girl stared at Robin for a long time.
"If you are so convinced, then you can only think that the strange thief Kidd is despising the strange thief crow, this notice is not only a response to the other party's battle letter, but also a humiliation of the other party, maybe this is the psychological tactic of the strange thief Kidd to provoke the opponent to anger."
"It makes sense, Batgirl, but I don't think it's that simple."
As he was talking, Robin suddenly turned around and asked, "How do you interpret the sentence 'I will show miracles beyond time and space'?" ”
"The other sentences are very straightforward, the 'pupil of the sky' is undoubtedly the Jeai blue stone, the meeting after 116 days is the time when Mercury and the earth meet, Mercury also referred to Mercury, so the 'sixtieth dial' is the clock composed of Mercury and the sun, Mercury orbits the sun for about 88 days and takes one-sixtieth of it, that is, from the time the thief crow hides the gem in the iceberg casino, the thief Kidd will appear after seventeen to eighteen hours, and there is no other possibility of interpretation."
Hearing this, the bat girl frowned slightly and said her thoughts.
"In my opinion, there is no need to interpret this sentence, to be exact, there are too many directions that can be interpreted, and the only thing that is certain is that this sentence refers to the modus operandi that the thief Kidd is about to implement."
"Based on past experience, Kidd the Strange Thief will leave a few backhands in everything that describes this, and even if someone guesses it, he can adjust it according to the actual situation, in other words, it is impossible for us to interpret the entire plan of Kidd the Strange Thief through the advance letter."
Batgirl concludes, "So, rather than wasting energy trying to understand the 'miracles that transcend time and space,' I prefer to improvise on the spot. ”
"Heh~"
Suddenly, Robin chuckled softly and said, "You're all right, but my idea is that you're thinking too complicated." ”
"It's not so much an insult to the rogue rook as I think it's a magician who can't wait to show off his new magic trick to the audience, but can't reveal the details before the performance, so I use confusing words to meet the expectations."
"Kidd the Strange Thief didn't confuse me, you're scratching my head right now."
The bat girl couldn't help but complain.
"What I'm trying to say is that maybe Kidd the Strange Thief really wants to perform 'magic' that 'transcends time and space'."
Robin said meaningfully.
