Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Looking at the report sent by Lucius, Lucas rubbed his temples and sighed heavily.

Lucius is an effective member of the Wayne Group. Even when the city was in crisis, he did not withdraw from Gotham, but stayed in the city to deal with it with the Bat Family.

The aftermath of the incident is the most troublesome issue. How to arrange for employees to return to work, how to provide pensions to employees who stayed in Gotham, how to make up for the losses during this period... These are all things that decision-makers need to make decisions. , no wonder Tim is so annoyed.

Lucas picked up another stack of reports, which was sent by Director Gordon about the situation of Gotham citizens and thugs coming out of the hall.

Everyone generally has blurred memories. They have different opinions about the upside-down Gotham. Some say there is, some say there is no. Apart from this, the ordinary citizens are the same as before. As for the thugs, it is different. , the violent tendencies in his heart seemed to disappear overnight, he actively cooperated with the police and sincerely regretted the mistakes he had made.

Even though he found a large number of disappearing shadows in the impression space, Lucas, who was mentally prepared in advance, was surprised by the current situation.

“It was almost like a big act of repentance.”

"Yeah, you think so too." Tim agreed, looking at Lucas, "So, how about the impression space?"

"The shadows in the Impression Space are almost extinct." Lucas frowned slightly, "But Jason and I encountered the claws of the Court of Owls."

"Claws of the Court of Owls?!" Tim's eyes widened.

Damian, who pretended to be passing by inadvertently, frowned and said with disgust, "Those rats are indeed still lingering in the darkness."

After hearing this, Dick couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his cheek. Lucas and Damian once found Dick's name on the coffin in that room. After returning, Bruce gave Dick a physical examination. .

In the end, Dick found the mark of the Court of Owls in one of his repaired molars, which meant that he was originally the person targeted by the court, not to mention that he was not the only one who was Grayson.

And, that... sharp claw with the same name as his grandfather... Thinking of this, Dick's expression was extremely complicated.

Looking back now, if Bruce hadn't adopted him as soon as he lost his parents, would he have been taken away by the Court of Owls and then transformed into the kind of claws of the living dead that were neither human nor ghosts.

"Then, what happened?" Tim asked quickly.

"Of course it's all solved." Jason held the cookie in his mouth and rested his legs arrogantly on the console.

"So, that motorcycle that disappeared out of thin air is your persona?" Tim quickly thought of the cool motorcycle that disappeared from the surveillance camera.

"Yeah." Jason raised his eyebrows proudly.

Putting aside the fact that Phoenix is ​​essentially another person, the motorcycle is really good, and when riding it, it feels like a human and a motorcycle fit together.

His persona is the satellite, so Tim was not particularly surprised, not to mention that he had already suspected it.

"Hmph, if you can't get rid of those rats, then you are too weak." Damian said.

"Ah, right, right." Jason responded nonchalantly. After spending some time in the League of Assassins, he still knew Damian's character and didn't take it to heart at all.

"The claws themselves are nothing special. The key is that they actually appeared in the impression space, and..." Lucas frowned, "There are still traces of artificial transformation on them."

"Isn't the Claw itself a cyborg?"

"The Claws are indeed cyborgs, but after my inspection, I found that they possess both human and shadow qualities." Lucas said.

"Having the characteristics of both humans and shadows..." Tim narrowed his eyes. He also thought of the alien that ran into reality. At that time, he was almost attacked by the alien, but was stopped by Connor.

"It seems that you and I have come together." Lucas nodded.

"Furthermore, how did the Talon, or the Court of Owls, reach the Impression Space?" Tim held his chin. "No matter what, the Impression Space is the desire of everyone in Gotham. Letting those people move in the Impression Space, I always feel a little uneasy.”

"I think so too," Lucas said in agreement.

"What's more, the timing of their appearance is also very coincidental." Jason added.

"Yes, we fought against Claw, and Claw could no longer defeat us at that time." Lucas said calmly.

Lucas, who possesses the Persona, cannot be underestimated in terms of his own strength. He is a ruthless person who fought against Sannomiya under the debuff of Kryptonite, not to mention after taking out the Kryptonite and regaining his true strength.

"This was an attack that had no chance of succeeding," Lucas said.

"But since it is an attack, it must have a purpose." Tim pondered.

"Ah, you are all here, where is Bruce?" Zatanna asked in surprise when she came to the Batcave.

"Bruce went to the Justice League," Dick replied.

"Has Ms. Zatanna discovered anything?" Lucas asked.

Previously, Zatanna asked Lucas and Bruce for the blood in their bodies to study the Dionysian factor. Now that Zatanna has come to the Batcave again, there must be some progress.

After hearing what Lucas said, Zatanna took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Let me explain it to you."

"When I examined the bodies of both of you, I was sure that there was more or less Dionysian factor in your bodies, but when I studied your blood, the reaction of Dionysian factor disappeared again."

"Disappeared?"

"That's right." Zatanna nodded, "So I read more ancient books and found out one thing. The Dionysian factor will only be repaired when the host is damaged. At other times, the Dionysian factor is recessive. And cannot be observed by any means."

"Hmm... So far, it seems like you don't have any special qualities, right?"

"Yes, when Gotham entered another space, I was also in Gotham." Zatanna's eyes lightly glanced at Jason.

From her perspective, she can see many things that ordinary people cannot see.

"At a certain moment, the originally invisible Dionysian factor suddenly became active."

Lucas' expression moved slightly. He probably knew when Zatanna was talking about.

"I can clearly observe that Bruce's sample has some uneasy changes." Zatanna said, "At that moment, the dark atmosphere locked on Bruce."

"What does it mean?"

Once they heard that Bruce's safety was involved, everyone became serious.

"More specifically... I'll just..." Zatanna was a little frustrated, "I'm sorry, I didn't delve into it further."

Zatana and her father agreed not to explore existences that are more mysterious than mystery, because this is extremely attractive to magicians and extremely dangerous at the same time. Zatana does not want her daughter to follow the same path as herself. road.

Therefore, Zatanna stopped her research in front of the terrifying existence visible to the naked eye, but she was obliged to explain the dangers to her friends.

"It doesn't matter, that's enough." Lucas smiled at Zatanna, "Thank you very much Miss Zatanna for the news."

"Ah, it's nothing. After all, it was an agreement made before." Zatanna shook her head, and her expression towards Lucas became softer.

"Do you need more blood?" Lucas asked proactively, "What Miss Zatanna just said is very important to me, so..."

"No need." Zatanna smiled, "I have already studied enough about the Dionysian factor."

"Then the rest..." Lucas blinked and wanted to continue saying something, but was interrupted by Zatanna standing on tiptoes and patting his head.

"You don't have to be so polite. Bruce and I are friends. We have helped him so much. Of course, he has also helped me a lot, so there is no need for any more compensation."

After saying that, Zatanna left gracefully. For this free great magician, she had stayed in the city of Gotham for too long.

"If you need help with anything, you can contact me." Before leaving, she winked at Lucas, "Bruce knows how to contact me."

"The Dionysian factor..." Everyone's expressions were serious.

"Sure enough..." Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the Laughing Bat to the Dark Knights, which are all composed of darkened Batman, he has already realized that Barbatos cares about Bruce.

"You seem to know something?" Damian asked directly.

"You have already seen the god that day. It is the god of the dark universe. There are many worlds in the dark universe, and you exist in each world, but the god's favorite subordinate is...Bruce."

"...What you want to say is that Bruce is being targeted?" Dick looked at Lucas seriously.

"I don't know more, but in addition to laughing like crazy, the subordinates he likes also have Bruce from other worlds called the Dark Knights," Lucas said.

He has only seen a young Bruce who used green light energy. After all, the Dark Knights are not completely united. Before the Dark Knight, Batman and the Joker were sworn enemies. Even after the Dark Knight, most of them couldn't stand this person who has assimilated with the Joker. Only young people like Daybreak Guilty Light disdain dangerous peers like the Laughing Bat.

However, Breaking Dawn was dissatisfied with how the Laughing Bat, a mere ordinary person, could achieve the same status as him. Every time he met the Laughing Bat, he always put on a bad face, but he did have a good attitude towards Lucas. , even if Lucas didn't respond, the boy who destroyed his own world as a teenager would still complain about him as a tree hole and the other members of the Dark Knights.

"To put it simply, they are a darkened version of the Justice League with Bruce's mind," Lucas said.

"Did you just remember these memories?" Dick asked with concern.

Most of Lucas' memories of being around the Laughing Bat are very vague. The Laughing Bat is not a philanthropist. He was created entirely as a weapon. He neither cares nor protects him. Most of the time, he needs to lift a butcher knife. They were too lazy to do it themselves, so they sent Lucas and his Robin Dog out.

"Yes." Lucas was silent for a moment, "I remembered it after seeing him."

Even if Damian uses Kryptonian technology to delete the memories that will leave Lucas a psychological shadow, the brain is a very magical part. After Lucas's memory threshold for the Laughing Bat and those dark memories is raised, he can also I gradually remembered something, even though it was really not very good.

Dick sighed, patted Lucas' shoulder reassuringly, and said reassuringly, "You're doing great, Lucas."

After knowing that the dark universe is coming, the more information about the enemy, the better.

"This is what I should do." Lucas shook his head.

Afterwards, the eldest brother gently drove Lucas, Tim, who had long needed a rest, and Jason, who was watching the fun, out of the Batcave.

"Grayson!" Jason looked at the closed high-tech door in disbelief, "Do you think this Batcave belongs to you since the old bat is not here?!"

"I knew it would be like this." Tim yawned slowly and leaned directly on Lucas' shoulder.

Lucas took the initiative to relax the Man of Steel's muscles so that they would not become stiff when leaning against him.

"He might need to sort out his thoughts." Lucas didn't care. He looked at Jason and said, "You know, the Joker is dead."

In the palace, the clown's final outcome was to be thrown to death alive, but that was actually in the palace. When the palace dispersed, the clown was directly disabled.

When Commissioner Gordon arrested the super villains scattered throughout Gotham, the Joker did not struggle and followed the policemen honestly. Such an obedient Joker made the Gotham police officers suspicious and deeply afraid of the Joker. It was intentional, and there were worse plans later, but unexpectedly, the clown died suddenly in prison, and his death was very strange.

When the police found the clown dead, his body was like a flattened pancake, lying limply on the ground, with a weird smile still on his face bleeding from all the orifices, which was chilling.

"pretty good."

Even though he killed the clown with his own hands in the hall with the knight, Jason was still in a great mood after hearing the news, "That scumbag should have died long ago."

"Yeah." Lucas listened carefully and continued to give Jason a verbal live broadcast of what happened at the police station.

"Commissioner Gordon had the Joker cremated and his ashes were flushed to several different toilets by staff."

Although the death of the clown is very strange, for people who have been poisoned by clown tea to some extent, the death of the clown is really good.

The matter is over. These ashes will never reunite and become the city's nightmare. The clown has no chance to make a comeback.

"Haha." Jason laughed happily after hearing the ending of the Joker. He had forgotten the unpleasantness of being kicked out of the Batcave by Dick. At this moment, he only felt happy that he had avenged his great revenge.

"It's over," he said with a smile.
