Chapter 108 Magic Is a Hoax
"You seem to have made a mistake, Chief."
Tony responded unyieldingly, and he opened the helmet of his battle suit so that the other party could see his expression. Although Tony tried to speak in a polite tone, his face was full of disdain and arrogance.
"This is my territory, and it's not your turn to tell me what to do."
Tony said arrogantly.
"On the contrary, you should do what I tell you to do."
"I hope you know what you are talking about."
George snorted coldly.
No matter how angry he was, the police really didn't have much power to restrain a super capitalist like Tony.
If Tony was unhappy, he would be accused of "wasting taxpayers' money".
"Now there is no need for me to deal with Kaito Kidd, someone will deal with him."
Tony looked at Kaito Kidd in the distance, his eyes deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Boom... Boom... Boom"
Suddenly, a new sound of footsteps came from the sky.
The people who heard the footsteps were instantly surprised, because this was completely different from the footsteps of Kaito Kidd!
If Kaito Kidd's footsteps were both crisp and pleasant, steady and brisk, then this new footstep can only be described as heavy.
"Why is there another sound of footsteps? Is it really coming from the sky?"
Someone in the audience asked hurriedly.
"It should be, I heard it very clearly."
"That means, in addition to Kaito Kidd, there is another person walking in the sky?"
"Has anyone cracked Kidd's method?"
"How is this possible!"
"Where is that person?"
Countless spectators began to look around, hoping to find the second person who could walk in the sky.
However, they saw nothing but darkness in the sky.
At this moment, a helicopter corresponding to Unit 7 suddenly turned on its searchlight, and in an instant, the dazzling light illuminated a black figure below.
Batman!
The light absorption efficiency of the bat suit is very good, and it can be almost invisible in the dark night. No wonder no one found him.
Just as everyone guessed, Batman was indeed floating in the sky, moving forward step by step.
Face to face with Kaito Kidd.
"This is Unit 12. A suspicious person has been found. A suspicious person has been found... It has been confirmed to be Batman. We are following up now. Over."
On Unit 12, Alfred reported to George seriously.
"Batman again! Why did he come to New York? Could it be that he has a grudge against Kaito Kidd?"
Hearing this, George frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
"No matter what unknown past they have, Batman and Kaito Kidd are both wanted criminals at the forefront. Don't let any of them go today!"
George ordered viciously.
"All helicopters, get closer to Kaito Kidd and Batman."
"The rest of you, clear the street in front of the central exhibition hall and evacuate the crowd."
"Because there is a no-fire order, we can only surround them, leaving no gaps, and not allowing them to land on the ground!"
"I don't believe that Kaito Kidd can blend into the crowd by disguising himself in the sky!"
After George's order was issued, his subordinates responded in unison.
"Yes, sir!"
More and more helicopters are approaching this side. There are already many helicopters hovering around Kaito Kidd, almost blocking every one of his retreat routes.
But the strange thing is that no matter how many helicopters gather, the wind blown by the high-speed rotation of the propeller wings is huge.
Kaito Kidd seems to be unaffected at all. The most amazing thing is that his cloak still retains its original appearance and is not blown up by the wind!
On the other side, Batman's black cloak has been blown by the wind for a long time.
"McGilson, what are you going to do now?"
Faced with this scene, Charlie asked Maggilson, and the man and the dog communicated through a specially made badge.
"Hehe, don't worry, they can't catch us."
McGilson showed a wicked smile, obviously he had a plan.
"Batman, I did think you might be able to crack my air walk, but I didn't expect that you would actually perform the same magic in front of me."
As Kaito Kidd and Batman gradually approached, only a few dozen meters apart, Maggilson suddenly shouted at Batman, with a hint of depression in his tone.
"Before performing a magic trick, you must never reveal the phenomenon that is about to happen; you cannot perform the same magic twice for the same audience at the same time and place."
"You have violated two of the famous three principles of Thurston this time, Kaito Kidd, maybe you think you are talented enough to be a special case, but as a real magician, you don't seem to have learned it yet."
Batman responded to Kaito Kidd in a hoarse and magnetic voice.
"And I learned to walk in the sky like you, just to prove to people that your aerial walk is not a miracle. As long as you have received some training, anyone can do it."
"All the so-called 'miracles' are just a scam when you look at them."
Hearing this, Kaito Kidd waved his hand.
"Wow, Batman, do you know that your current behavior is destroying other people's jobs?"
"You are a superhero, why do you go to study the three principles of Thurston? Well, I admit that I am a little arrogant to want to challenge the three most authoritative principles of magicians."
"But there is one thing I don't agree with your concept."
Suddenly, Kaito Kidd's frivolous tone became serious.
"I never thought of using 'miracle' as a gimmick to deceive the audience, and there is no hidden conspiracy."
"Maybe magic itself is a scam, but in fact every audience knows it, but why do so many people still like magic? Because people who watch magic, they just like to be deceived."
Batman looked at Kaito Kidd not far in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect him to say this.
However, you don't know until you look. This glance made Batman discover the clues.
The distance between the two was too far just now, and many details were not clear. Now there is only less than 30 meters between them. Batman can naturally find many details that he didn't find before.
For example, the steel wire hanging from Unit 7 doesn't seem to be hanging on Kaito Kidd's body...
But Kaito Kidd is indeed still walking, and step by step, approaching Batman's position, and the footsteps have not stopped playing from the loudspeaker.
Could it be a dummy?
No, even if it is a dummy, it must be suspended by a wire, and Batman has a deep understanding of Kidd's dummy. He can be sure that the Kaito Kidd in front of him is definitely not a dummy.
Unless...
"Afu, speed up and approach Unit 7. I need to confirm something."
Batman urged Alfred on the helicopter.
