"You're not serious, are you?"

The Batgirl rolled her eyes.

"The rogue Rogue attacked the mayor with great fanfare in order to defeat Kidd in front of the audience, and believe it or not, as long as we showed the act of evacuating from the casino, he would not hesitate to detonate the bomb."

"I know this, I just can't figure out why the Monster Thief Crow is so targeting Kidd the Monster Thief."

Robin touched his chin with one hand in thought.

"According to the clues of Batman's investigation, the Monster Thief Crow should be the Emperor Penguin Okilvie's person, and he made all this to cover O'Kilvie, and it can be determined from the fact that the Monster Thief Crow set the showdown venue at the Iceberg Casino, and he does have a deep relationship with the Penguins."

"But the mechanism prepared by the Monster Thief Crow for Kidd is clearly to kill Kidd, if it is just for the purpose of covering O'Kilvie, there are many ways to achieve it, and there is no need to be so extreme......"

The Bat Maiden wondered, "You mean that the Strange Rogue Crow has a personal vendetta with Kidd?" ”

"Quite possibly, but I can't think of anyone who hates Kidd the Monster Thief so much."

Robin agreed.

"Have you forgotten that the Penguins once hired fireflies to kill Kidd? Maybe the Penguins have long regarded Kidd the thief as a mortal enemy. ”

The Batgirl remembered the first time she had encountered Kidd the Strange Thief a few months ago.

"But O'Kilvie betrayed the penguins, didn't he? The Rogue Rook is obviously not a Penguin diehard, and there is no reason why they would hate Kidd the Thief. ”

Robin thought it was unlikely.

"Uh-huh...... Why do you care so much about this? ”

The Bat Girl asked in confusion.

"To be honest, I don't know, it's just a little conjecture."

Robin said ambiguously.

The Bat Maiden glanced at him and changed the subject, "Kidd the Strange Thief said in the advance letter that he would appear in the eighteenth hour of today, ...... from now"

“…… There's still half an hour to go, tsk, this crow is really a big problem for me. ”

At this moment, Dean, who was hidden in the crowd, looked at the Zheai Blue Stone in the center of the box, and felt a pang of trouble in his heart.

"If you step on the ground, it will explode, if you see a flaw, it will explode, when the time comes, no one will stop me, I will explode, do anything! What kind of duel is this between monster thieves? It's really not about martial arts! ”

"Time is so tight, I don't know if Kasan's side will be in time."

Dean looked up at the ceiling slightly, his mind thinking about the variables that might happen.

Some time ago, he and Kassandra found a secret passage through the sewers into the basement of the Iceberg Casino, and through there they entered the casino.

Then I found this rather difficult dilemma in front of me.

Fortunately, the Monster Rogue Crow is not so sinister as to set the bomb to automatically detonate whenever the gem is missing, so that Dean still has a chance to break the game.

After all, from the perspective of the strange thief and the crow, if that mortal situation scared Kidd away, everything he did would be meaningless.

On the other side, outside the box door, Brock looked at the threshold in front of him, which was close but could not be crossed, and his mood became more and more anxious.

He frowned and paced back and forth.

"Calm down, Harvey."

Gordon, who was next to him, came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"How do I calm down with the current situation?"

Brock asked rhetorically.

"Don't you understand, Jim? From the moment we walked into this damn casino, it was part of the game of Rogue Rook and Rogue Kidd! ”

"I'm very clear about that, and that's why it's all the more important for us to keep a cool mind."

Gordon said with a serious face.

"We're not here to feel sorry for ourselves, but to bring criminals to justice, whether it's the Rook or Kidd."

It sounded whimsical, but Bullock could tell from Gordon's serious look that he wasn't joking.

"Hah!"

Suddenly, Bullock let out a chuckle, and his whole body instantly relaxed, returning to his usual superficially casual appearance.

"Don't forget that I took you with you when you first came to the police station, and what was that word you just said? Since what Ai? I don't understand what that means. ”

"What the hell are you doing now!"

At that moment, a shout came from behind the guards.

Gordon and Bullock were shocked, the voice was all too familiar to them and didn't belong to any of the guards present.

The two of them followed the prestige in unison, and saw an elderly man with a plaster cast on his left hand and right leg, limping towards this direction with a cane.

"Mr. Mayor, shouldn't you be recuperating in the hospital, why did you come here alone?"

Gordon and Bullock hurriedly came to the mayor and asked in unison.

"Strange thief crow...... The criminal who made me look like this is here now, how can I still lie quietly in a hospital bed, I want to see that bitch being arrested with my own eyes! ”

The mayor said with resentment.

"Gordon, you've been bringing people in for so long, where is the Strange Thief Crow? Why are you all standing motionless outside this little box in the casino? ”

Since the perimeter of the Iceberg Casino has been completely cordoned off by the GCPD, no one knows what is going on inside, so the mayor is not aware that there is a bomb here.

"Mr. Mayor......"

Gordon informs the mayor of the bombs that the Rogue Rogue planted to deal with Kidd the Thief and bind the police.

"What? Do you mean that at this moment, everyone in the Iceberg Casino has become hostage to the Monster Rogue Rook? If we don't follow the rules of his game, will we all be blown up? ”

The mayor's eyes widened, even Gotham was ridiculous.

"Unfortunately, this is true, sir, you should not have come in."

Brock, who was next to him, nodded.

"What about Kidd the Thief? Isn't he going to fight the Rook of the Monster Thief? Why hasn't it shown up yet? ”

"According to Kidd the Thief, it will take about fifteen minutes for him to show up, but don't worry, he's very punctual."

Hearing this, the mayor showed a displeased face.

"As the mayor of Gotham, I'm waiting for a thief......"

But they really have no choice but to wait.

"Then again, Mr. Mayor, why did you come alone, your bodyguard? How could the hospital approve of your discharge? ”

Gordon asked coldly.

"Hmph, do you still need to ask? Even you don't think I should be here, let alone those people, so I had to come by myself, and they wouldn't dare to stop me? ”

The mayor snorted coldly and squinted at Gordon, "What? Do you suspect which thief I am? If you are in doubt, you can check it! ”

As soon as the words fell, the mayor raised the crutches in his left hand and rubbed it vigorously on his face, "Look, this is my real face, not a mask!" ”

The mayor's actions didn't seem to be fake, but Gordon gave Bullock a look to be on the safe side.

"I'm sorry Mr. Mayor, but we don't doubt your identity, but Kidd the Monster Thief is too good at disguise, and it's too close to what he predicted...... So we can only ask you to cooperate, don't worry, it's just a routine check. ”

Brock said sorry, and his hand was already checking.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't tear off any of the masks that made the mayor's face red.

The mayor is real.

Brock hurriedly stopped his movements, took two steps back and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor." ”

"Humph!"

The mayor snorted coldly.

"Ahem, it's ten minutes before Kidd the Monster Thief preserves, Bullock, back to work! Mr. Mayor, it's dangerous here, please stay away as much as possible, I'll send four guards to keep you safe. ”

Gordon next to him opened his mouth to propose, but the mayor was immediately unhappy.

"Didn't you understand what I just said?"

He glared at Gordon fiercely, "I'm here to see the arrest of that thief Crow up close, and now you tell me to stand farther away, what's the difference between lying on a hospital bed and watching the news?" ”

"Not only will I not stay away, but I will also stand in the first row of the door!"

The mayor said firmly.

Seeing that he couldn't beat the mayor, Gordon had to retreat to the next best thing.

"Then please stand behind me, Mr. Mayor."

As the police and Robin Batgirl waited with bated breath, the sun set and night fell.

This is a sign that the time for Kidd the Strange Thief to appear is approaching.

At this moment, not only the guards present, but even the strange thief black crow who was hiding in a hidden corner and watching everything also raised their spirits at the same time.

"In what way will he appear in the impregnable iceberg casino?"

Everyone asked in their minds, but no one could guess what Kidd the Strange Thief was thinking.

Bang-clang

Suddenly, a strange sound faintly came from above the crowd's heads, small and seemingly moving fast, barely noticeable unless you listened closely.

Robin and Batgirl were the first to notice the source of the sound and its ultimate goal, and they all turned their attention to the bomb box where the Jeai Bluestone was placed.

Vents in the ceiling of the box, to be exact!
