Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Although Damian often does things according to his own temper, this does not mean that he is a fool. After realizing that this place is extraordinary, he actively pretends to be reckless and arrogant to attract the Riddler's attention.

This is also a test. The Riddler is a super criminal without superpowers. He has never shown similar abilities before. There must be someone behind him to help him.

If the Riddler responds to Damian's provocation and ignores Lucas, it means that the Riddler does not know what is special about Lucas.

Lucas shook his head imperceptibly. After his senses were suppressed, he was no different from ordinary people, and now everything was hidden under the fog, with no clues and no way to reason.

Is that so... Damian, who held Lucas' neck with one hand to keep his balance, thought about possible enemies.

"Who?" Lucas, who landed lightly, suddenly looked towards a corner.

A hooded figure stepped out with arms raised.

"it's me."

Lucas' vigilant eyes softened when he saw the person coming. This person was a member of the Justice League, the Green Arrow from Star City.

Damian jumped off Lucas and observed the Green Arrow who appeared here, "Why are you here, Green Arrow?"

"My city has gone crazy, and I'm here to find Batman," Green Arrow said.

"Batman?" Damian suddenly frowned, "Didn't Batman go to the Justice League?"

After handing over the affairs of Gotham to his own Robins, Batman went to the Justice League. The few people left behind did not have any objections. After all, defeating the visitors from the Dark Universe would undoubtedly require the help of the Justice League.

But what about the Green Arrow who now comes to Gotham to look for Batman?

"Don't you know, the members of the Justice League suddenly went to a place a few days ago, and then they disappeared." Green Arrow said doubtfully, "I came here and got lost in it."

As he spoke, Green Arrow made no secret of the way he looked at Lucas.

Under Constantine's magic, the ordinary Green Arrow couldn't see through Lucas' true face at all. What he cared about was the way Lucas held Damian while dodging just now, which reminded him of Superman.

Green Arrow knows about Lucas' existence, but he only knows that Lucas is Bruce Wayne's son, that the press conference is not in vain, and that Batman's true identity is not a secret to Oliver, the Green Arrow.

So, why would he think Batman's son is an ordinary person... huh? Something seems wrong.

"I don't need help from a circus player like you," Damian said.

Damian's unceremonious words immediately woke up Green Arrow, "Yes, you are so friendly, you must have many friends, right?"

"Robin, it's better to unite now." Seeing Damian raising his eyebrows and continuing to quarrel with Green Arrow, Lucas quickly interrupted him.

"No matter what, we have all entered this maze, and the most important thing is to find the mastermind and the way out together," Lucas said.

Looking up, the twisted space is upside down. Lucas may not be able to use his super strength to break through it, but he doesn't know what the consequences will be if he breaks it hastily. However, before reaching a desperate situation, he must first follow the Riddler's rules. bring it on.

"There are still reasonable people out there." Green Arrow gave Lucas a friendly smile.

Green Arrow prides himself on having a good temper, but he's not so bad-tempered that he doesn't respond to Damian's casual taunts.

It's just that the Green Arrow with a mustache at this moment has been classified as a childish adult in Lucas's eyes.

The three of them walked along the complex maze corridor. Green Arrow would leave an arrow on his body as a mark every once in a while. This was one of the strategies for dealing with the maze.

"Does this work?" Lucas looked at Green Arrow's movements.

"Honestly...if it had been useful, I wouldn't have gotten lost here." Green Arrow shrugged, "But if you don't do anything, you will never find a way."

"makes sense."

"Let's go, let's go." Green Arrow put his arm on Lucas' shoulder in a familiar manner.

"Yeah." After Lucas followed Green Arrow for a while, he turned around and took a look. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the arrow stuck in the wall seemed to be no longer in its original position.

"We've been to this place before." Green Arrow frowned and looked at the arrows on the wall.

"But..." Lucas hesitated.

Damian pulled the arrow out of the wall.

"Hey!" Green Arrow shouted dissatisfied.

Damian threw the arrow in front of him, "Look at the arrow yourself."

"Huh?" Green Arrow picked up the arrow on the ground. The original sharp arrow was no longer sharp. Someone changed the position of his arrow.

"How could you be fooled by such a simple trick?" Damian said with a sneer, "I doubt your level."

Green Arrow twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that he was in the wrong and did not speak.

"The Riddler used this method to mislead you and induce you to spin around in circles." Lucas looked at Green Arrow sympathetically, as if he were looking at a big wronged.

"Haha, is it the guy named Riddler who did it?" Green Arrow smiled and broke the arrow in his hand.

"Let's use my method." Lucas shook his head, and he stood there and listened quietly for a while.

Although his super hearing was suppressed, Lucas's hearing was still much stronger than that of ordinary people. He heard the clicking sound of the mechanism behind the wall.

"boom"

Looking at the collapsed wall, Lucas retracted his fist calmly.

"You...you cheated!" Behind the wall was the Riddler and his big robot. Seeing Lucas violently deciphering his masterpiece, the Riddler shouted with dissatisfaction.

Lucas shook off the dust on his hands and said calmly, "What's wrong? It's our ability to skip the process and write down the answers."

His clear blue eyes stared at the Riddler opposite. In Lucas's eyes, the Riddler actually exuded a familiar aura.

Don't underestimate the enemy.

Lucas subconsciously reached his hands behind his back and gestured to Damian.

This was the original secret code between him and Damian in his own world.

Damian looked at Lucas's gesture and was stunned for a moment. This gesture was... careful?

Damian habitually used the password of the Assassin League and adapted it, so because they were the same person, Damian in this world still understood what Lucas meant.

As a result, Damian tensed up his thin body and looked at the Riddler warily.

"If you drag me out of the window, I will leave only a sad wife. Bring me back and you will see the giver of life at the door." The Riddler spoke obscure riddles while manipulating with a huge robot.

"Now is the time for you to prove your genius." Green Arrow tightened his bow and called Damian.

Defeating the Riddler is not the important thing, getting the information from him is the most important thing.

With Damian here, Lucas is relieved to be responsible for intercepting the Riddler's robot, while Damian deciphers the Riddler's riddles behind the scenes.

Damian, who had already obtained three doctorates at a young age, naturally moved his head very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to grasp the key points.

“The grieving wife is the widow, the one who gave life is the donor, just remove one letter and it becomes door, add one letter and it becomes window, and that letter is N! "

Even though he had come to the conclusion himself, Damian was confused as to what the Riddler was trying to express!

During the battle, Lucas' expression became more solemn. He finally understood where this sense of familiarity came from. This robot was clearly a product of the Dark Universe.

Lucas expressionlessly dismantled the robot from the dark universe bit by bit. When the robot was damaged to a certain extent, Lucas's robot turned into white smoke and disappeared.

"How... how could this happen!" The Riddler fell to the ground in disbelief, and then came the green boot soles, which kicked him to the ground hard.

"Where is Batman? Tell me everything you know!" Damian said viciously.

Ignoring Damian's interrogation of the Riddler, Lucas came to the place where the robot disappeared. He just saw something falling here.

Sure enough, Lucas spotted something shiny.

"This is……"

He picked up the card with the robot pattern on it, and the subtle feeling of resonance with the soul made Lucas quickly understand the origin of the card.

"Well..." Lucas covered his head.

Some broken memories resurfaced from the back of my mind.

The Laughing Bat sat at the card table and played with the cards in his hand. There was only cold malice and soul-piercing cruelty in his eyes, and his mouth grinned with joy from ear to ear.

The Laughing Bat seemed to have said something, but Lucas couldn't remember it, but the key was the card in his hand. Lucas had just seen it, and that was the card he was holding now.

Lucas looked pale and raised his head, "He's here."

"Who?"

The ignorant Green Arrow was still unaware of the seriousness of the matter, but Damian reacted quickly.

"you sure?"

Lucas squeezed the card in his hand. The sharp edge of the card made of unknown metal actually cut Lucas' skin. Blood fell from the wound drop by drop, but Lucas didn't care at all.

"It can't be wrong," he said.

"..."

Damian clenched his fists. He didn't know what to say. After a few seconds, he said dryly, "We must find our father immediately."

If he was sure to defeat Batman, how could Damian honestly become Robin? Batman first conquered him with force, and then his noble character.

"...Hmm." Lucas was a little distracted.

This is not the first time Lucas has met with Laughter after leaving the Dark Universe, but this is different from the past because he understands that this time it is a formal duel.

The Riddler, who was stepped on by Damian, let out intermittent laughter, "You are going to be in trouble! But you don't know, I'm going to see how you die then!"

"You're wrong, and no one knows it better than me," Lucas said.

After remembering who the owner of this card was, Lucas understood why the Riddler said that.

"You have met him." Lucas looked at the Riddler with a serious look, "Then you still choose to cooperate with him?"

"Oh~ you mean the Batman who became a slave to Gotham's sin?" The Riddler said crazily, "He has succumbed to sin. Batman is dead. What I see is the Bat King!"

The Riddler, bruised and bruised, started dancing like a jester on the stage.

"He's crazy." Green Arrow clicked his tongue.

"The Riddler is originally a madman!" Damian's face darkened when the Riddler started talking about Batman becoming a slave to Gotham's evil. He was always unhappy. Finally, when the Riddler finished speaking, he turned dark. A hand knife knocked this guy unconscious.

"But he is right, my father..." Lucas swallowed back the words that almost blurted out, "That's what the Laughing Bat is."

From the day he killed the Joker, Batman has crossed the bottom line in his heart. The Joker virus may be the cause, but is it really the main cause? Lucas asked himself.

Perhaps after seeing the example of the second-generation clown Tim who recovered from the virus, Lucas already understood the answer to this question.

No one knows why the Laughing Bat got to this point. Maybe it was when he killed almost all his relatives and friends under the influence of the clown virus. Maybe it was just at the moment when he broke through the bottom line, when his strong arms broke the human body. With his soft neck, the Laughing Bat realized that it didn't matter even if he killed someone.

Therefore, I have been unable to go back for a long time. I have been fighting with the evil dragon for a long time, and I have become an evil dragon myself. If I stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back.

Lucas knew that the relationship between him and the Laughing Bat was either life or death, and there was no second possibility.

At the same time, the Laughing Bat standing on the top of the mountain stared at the burning Gotham, and behind him squatted several anxious Robin Dogs, pawing at the ground with their paws restlessly, looking like they couldn't wait to taste the blood. .

The Laughing Bat seems to have seen the Riddler's failure through the layers of steel and concrete.

"Oh, I really wasted a good card of mine." He sighed, but he had no regrets.

After all, the Laughing Bat was not surprised by such a result, it could even be said to be within his plan.

He casually played with the chain in his hand and murmured to himself, "Well... it's time to use better wild cards. Before the tower is completed, we can't let them get close to the god~"

Then, the Laughing Bat looked into the darkness, where a small black figure stood. It had never made any figure since the beginning, and was as silent as a dead thing.

"I know you can feel the blood filling the air. Are you ready?" The corners of the Laughing Bat's mouth raised high, "My favorite son?"

The little figure took off his hat and said, with a crazy smile, "Yes, Father."
