Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 197 Four Statues
Looking at the scarecrow's back, Baine fell into deep thought.

"It seems that Roman Sionis is not content with us keeping him on top, even in name."

Thalia walked to Bain's side from the balcony and said softly.

Even a mere dog under Black Mask dared to be so arrogant in front of Bane. If he didn't think his life was long, it must be because the other party had the confidence not to be afraid of him.

The possibility of the former is almost equal to zero. After all, before today, the cooperation between Bane and Black Mask had been going back and forth, and there had been no substantive conflicts.

Even Black Mask himself has never been so tough in front of Bane, and even the relationship between the two parties has eased a lot after Bane provided a large number of weapons.

So what is it that caused such a big change in Black Mask's attitude?

After thinking about the last meaningful sentence of the Scarecrow, has Kaitou Kidd found the black mask, and they have reached some kind of cooperation?
"If Sionis is going to cut ties with us, he's not going to deal with Jim Gordon."

Thalia analyzed.

"Everything that happened just now has fully demonstrated that even if Coppert doesn't agree with us, at least he won't end his cooperation with us."

"If Sionnis is desperate, he will probably face a joint crusade from both of us, and then GCPD is the only force he can pull into his camp."

This is not impossible, and it is never uncommon for the GCPD to team up with gangs in special circumstances.

Black Mask is so anxious to mobilize people to go to GCPD, what is his real purpose is simply revealed.

"I'd like to go and talk to Copperpot myself."

Baine said so.

"It is not certain that Sionnis has a connection with Kaitou Kidd for the time being, but since he has decided to stand on the opposite side of us, let's get rid of him directly!"

"On our own, it is still very difficult to eat the gang of black masks. I must strengthen Copperpot's support for us. It is best to persuade him to kill Sionnis with us. Send people before I come back To monitor every move of the Black Mask Gang."

"Good idea, you go find that penguin now. As for the one wearing the black mask, let me watch him first. Don't worry about me. There is no one better at performing secret surveillance missions than Shadow Warrior."

Thalia nodded. Now is not the time to show kindness. Regardless of whether Black Mask has been wronged or not, this battle will always be fought.

After getting Thalia's approval, Bane left the Knights Dome stadium.

And Thalia led a group of shadow fighters to the East District, which is the territory of the black mask.

To be exact, only 90.00% of it is Black Mask's territory...

On the other side, on a road near Wayne Building.

Suddenly, a certain sewer manhole cover was about to move, and was slowly removed, and then two sneaky figures climbed up from below.

They looked around quietly, but temporarily found no trace of the enemy, so they began to scout the scene.

"This is the only road nearby that does not have monitoring installed in the middle of the road."

Barbara watched the entire length of the road, taking a short glance to the next intersection.

"I can feel that there is a lot of space under here, and it is not naturally formed, nor is it a sewer or subway passage, but other man-made spaces."

With the help of Poison Ivy's ability, Pamela uses the underground plants to perceive the environment below the ground.

However, after waiting for a long time, she did not get a response from Barbara.

She looked back at Barbara strangely, only to find that she was staring intently at a statue by the side of the road.

A white statue, engraved with a man on a horse, dressed gorgeously, with a haughty expression, giving people a sense of superiority. It seems to be built in an ancient style. Maybe it is describing an incomparable nobleman?

Pamela didn't know much about it, but that wasn't the point.

"Hey, Barbara, this is not the time to admire statues!"

Pamela rushed to Barbara's side and pushed her down, with a dissatisfied expression.

"Shh!"

Barbara quickly put her fingers between her lips and nose, signaling Pamela to keep quiet.

"This statue is not simple."

Barbara explained to Pamela in a low voice.

Pamela waited for her next text.

"Look, even though the style of the statue is old, the carvings here, here and here are very new and striking."

Barbara pointed to several places on the statue.

"This shows that the statues were only completed recently. Do you think Bane will have the leisure to build these statues after he occupies the Wayne Building?"

Pamela felt that what Barbara said made sense.

"It's not just this statue," Barbara pointed forward along the road, "there's another statue over there."

Pamela looked up, and there was indeed a statue about 20 meters away.

The style of this statue is basically the same as that of the nobleman on horseback, except that the object portrayed has changed from one nobleman to three commoners. The leading commoner is in a kneeling state, holding a long cloth in his hand, while the two commoners behind him are each carrying a large bag.

"There are also two opposing statues on the opposite side."

Sure enough, taking the statue of the nobleman on horseback and the statue of the three commoners as reference points, there are also two statues at the same distance across the road.

These two statues are interesting, they are a nun and a noble woman respectively.

The positions of the four statues just form a rectangle with a length of 20 meters and a width of 15 meters, but the frontal orientation of the statues is not uniform, which is very strange.

In fact, Pamela could see these statues at once from her perspective, but she was only exploring the ground, so she didn't find anything wrong with the statues, so that she ignored their existence.

"Do you think these statues have some meaning, or what mechanism?"

Pamela asked, she tried to touch the statue, but there was no change after touching all the statues.

Even the orientation of the statue cannot be changed.

"Maybe we missed something..."

Barbara thought for a while, but still had no clue.

"You just said that there is a lot of space hidden underneath?"

Since I can't think of it for the time being, let's look for other clues first.

"Yes, someone has carried out difficult construction underground, as if hollowing out a large amount of soil."

Pamela affirmed.

"Can your plants open the way to get there?"

"Sorry, no."

Pamela shook her head.

"I guess there is a very strong secret laboratory below. I tried to control countless tree roots to attack it, but all failed without exception."

"Not a single hole was drilled."
