Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

Looking at the Scarecrow's retreating back, Bain fell into deep thought.

"It seems that Roman Cienthos is no longer satisfied with us continuing to weigh on him, even if it is only in name."

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

Even a mere loser under Black Mask dared to be so arrogant in front of Bain. If it wasn't that he thought he would live long, it must be because the other party had the confidence to not be afraid of his own side.

The possibility of the former is almost zero. After all, before today, the cooperation between Bain's side and Black Mask's side was relatively smooth, and there was no substantial conflict.

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

So what happened that caused Black Mask's attitude to change so drastically?

Thinking carefully about Scarecrow's last meaningful words, could it be that Kaitou Kidd has already found Black Mask and they have reached some kind of cooperation?

"If Cienthos is going to sever ties with us, he won't go after Jim Gordon."

Thalia analyzed.

"What happened just now has fully demonstrated that even if Copot doesn't agree with us, at least it will not end its cooperation with us."

"If Cienthos is desperate, he is likely to face a joint crusade from both of us, and then the GCPD is the only combat force he can bring to his own camp."

This is not impossible. It is never unusual for GCPD to join forces with gangs under special circumstances.

Black Mask is so anxious to mobilize people to go to the GCPD. What is his real purpose is almost obvious.

"I want to go and talk to Copot in person."

Bain said.

"It's not yet certain that Cienthos is connected to Kaito Kidd, but since he has decided to stand against us, let's get rid of him directly!"

"On our own, it's still very difficult to kill Black Mask's gang. I have to strengthen Cobot's support for us. It's best to convince him to kill Xiansos with us. Send him before I come back. People go to monitor every move of the Black Mask gang.”

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

Thalia nodded, now is not the time to show kindness, no matter whether Black Mask is wronged or not, this battle will always be fought.

After receiving Thalia's approval, Bain left the Knights Dome.

Thalia led a group of shadow warriors to the East District, which is Black Mask's territory.

To be exact, only 90% is Black Mask's territory...

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

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

They quietly looked around and found no trace of the enemy for the time being, so they began to scout the scene.

"This is the only road in the neighborhood that does not have surveillance cameras installed in the middle of the road."

Barbara looked at the entire road, which was so short that she could see the next intersection at a glance.

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

Pamela uses Poison Ivy's ability to use underground plants to sense 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 on the side of the road.

A white statue depicts a man riding a horse. He is gorgeously dressed and has a proud expression, giving people a sense of superiority. It looks like the construction style is very old. Maybe it is describing a certain arrogant noble?

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

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

Pamela rushed to Barbara and pushed her, looking dissatisfied.

"Shh!"

Barbara quickly put her finger between her lips and nose to signal Pamela to be quiet.

"This statue is not simple."

Barbara explained to Pamela quietly.

Pamela waited for her next words.

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

Barbara pointed to several parts of the statue.

"This shows that the statues were completed only recently. Do you think Bane will have the time to build these statues after occupying Wayne Tower?"

Pamela felt that what Barbara said made sense.

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

Pamela looked up and saw that there was indeed a statue about twenty meters away.

This statue is basically the same style as the statue of a nobleman on horseback, except that the object depicted has been changed from one nobleman to three civilians. The leading civilian is in a state of kneeling, holding a long piece of cloth in his hand, while the two civilians behind him are Each carried a big bag.

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

Sure enough, using the statue of the equestrian nobleman 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, one is a nun and the other is a noblewoman.

The four statues form a rectangle of 20 meters long and 15 meters wide, but the orientation of the front of the statues is not uniform, which is very strange.

In fact, Pamela's perspective could have seen all the statues at once, but she was only focused on exploring the underground, so she didn't find anything wrong with the statues, and ignored their existence.

"Do you think these statues have some meaning or some mechanism?" Pamela asked. She tried to touch the statues, but nothing happened after touching all the statues.

Even the orientation of the statues could not be changed.

"Maybe we missed something..."

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

"You said there was a big space hidden underneath?"

Since she couldn't think of it for the time being, she would look for other clues first.

"Yes, someone has carried out difficult construction underground, just like hollowing out a lot of soil." Pamela affirmed.

"Can your plants open the way there?"

"I'm sorry, no." Pamela shook her head.

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

"Not a single hole was drilled out."
