Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
20. Perfect Disguise

"GO!"

"Why did the power go out again!"

Aaron's roar echoed throughout the collection of the hall. This time, the protection of the electricity distribution room became the top priority of the police to ensure the Phantom Kid did not have the opportunity to move in the electrical system.

But now that the power goes out, this only proves one thing:

”Barbara was right, Kid actually sneaked here early in the morning and mingled with us, he had enough time to do everything for his setup, he said, all he had to do was arrange the dolls outside to attract the crowd.”

“But actually he pretended to be who? It is clear that all squads are configured in numbers of three or more, and, even for toilet breaks, they must move in unity. So, which part of the process is wrong?”

Gordon never knew where the Phantom Kid's breakthrough was.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed through his mind.

There was only one person who suddenly appeared alone, who could win the trust of all the GCPD personnel, and who had arranged everything without even realizing it!

"Does that mean ... but how is it possible?"

then his disguise is so scary!”

"Can the helicopter squad hear you, what's the situation outside the pavilion, have they seen the Phantom Kid escape?"

In any case, the most important thing is to make sure in advance whether Kid is still here.

"Sir, we haven't found any sign of Kid, he should still be inside!"

Hearing this, Gordon was a little relieved. Helicopter pilots basically fly in the sky or land to do maintenance on the helicopter alone, or refuel it, so there's no need to worry Kid will mimic their sound, there is no chance of them making contact.

Since it's been confirmed that Kid is still inside, it means he hasn't stolen the gem, or he hasn't found a suitable way to get out and has to buy time by turning off the lights.

”Tim-F, what is your status there, can you recover the power supply? Please reply after you copy. ”

“Copy, Sir! The power distribution box has been destroyed by the explosion and it will take at least half an hour to repair the line.”

"What about the backup power supply?"

"Copy, this place .. is not equipped with a backup power supply."

Well, it is certain that the lighting will not recover in the near future, but Gordon is not entirely without plans to deal with the current situation.

"S-Team, it's time for you to make a move!"

The so-called S-team consisted of dozens of elite police officers selected by Gordon, each equipped with night-vision goggles, specifically to deal with the current situation.

And the man who led that team was none other than Gordon himself!

Dozens of elite policemen wearing night vision goggles were divided into two teams, each searching upstairs and downstairs.

As for the hundreds of police and thousands of spectators remaining, some chose to remain in their place, while others chose to light their cell phone torches and follow them to find Kid.

Meanwhile, on the ground floor of the collection hall, in the closed corridor connecting the collection room left and right, a beautiful young girl with a beautiful figure appeared.

Despite the fact that she was wearing a pair of high heels, she walked in a muffled step, as if she was trying to avoid everyone's attention.

Barbara stared at the corridor, full of contradictions.

With all the intensive training he had gone through before, night vision was indeed one of his abilities. So even in the darkness, he could see objects within a certain distance.

Yes, Barbara was the subject of Mathison's disguise this time, midday, while resting on the beach.

The familiar figure he saw was none other than Barbara.

Barbara does not go straight to Gordon but chooses to familiarize herself with the surrounding streets first, as Mathison did, in the style of a true detective.

Thieves need to plan an escape route, while detectives must deduce the thief's escape route and then devise a chase route; often, the nature of this conflict works like this …

The first thing Mathison is reluctant to do is disguise herself as a woman, but she's too familiar with Barbara that it's hard to fool Gordon. As for ordinary policemen, it was a piece of cake for him to fool them.

Moreover, everyone had the impression that the Phantom Kid was male, so it was unlikely that Barbara would be suspected at all upon seeing Mathison in disguise!

Moreover, this place was not a good place to sneak around, and there really was no better choice than Barbara.

So, when Barbara is not looking, Mathison secretly attaches a transmitter to her clothes; right, one of the Phantom Kid's worst enemies likes to be used, Conan Edogawa. 'The 'Small Technology Prop Manufacturing Book' he got from the system's starter gift package at the beginning contains all the technology-making methods of the Detective Conan universe

Such equipment allows underage schoolchildren to kick a soccer ball, which is stronger than a bomb, to a greater distance from a sniper rifle, he said, and then riding a skateboard that's faster than a sports car, which can also be charged during the day and used at night...

Mathison knew the method of making all of these tools, although it was unfortunate that some of them could not be recycled for reuse due to a shortage of raw materials.

However, after installing a transmitter on Barbara, Mathison waits for the right moment, and, finally, she surprises Barbara and hides her in a cruise ship cabin under the Gotham River Bridge.

In order to perfect her disguise, she had to undress Barbara!

Although Mathison has never hidden her interest in beautiful women, Barbara is her childhood friend, so, she would never think of doing anything to her while she is in a coma!

He simply took off Barbara's coat and put his own clothes on her body to protect her from catching a cold.

Returning to our scene in the hall, Mathison, who wore Barbara's face over her own, turned her gaze to the corridor.

He almost discovered the secret of the place.

The Daggett collection is not only fourteen rooms, but there are fifteen!

A secret room!

“If not wrong, the mechanism must be here.”

Every skilled magician was a master of mechanics, setting up a secret door was something they only played with, and this place was definitely no match for Mathison.

He stepped on his heels and walked to the center of the corridor, the point where the collection rooms on the left and right were joined on the first floor. According to the plan, they were right in front of a rotunda in the middle of the building.

Then, with his back facing towards the hall, facing the curved wall, Mathison reached out and knocked the right side as far as one arm.

"Thunder ~ Thunder ~"

Sure enough, after knocking, the wall in front of him shook, and the secret room where Daggett's original collection was kept open.

However, when the secret door was completely opened, Mathison was shocked! A human figure had appeared in his vision!
