Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
21. Meet Catwoman Again

"You really found your way here."

Before Mathison could say anything, it was the person hiding in the room who spoke first.

It was a sexy voice, a voice that Mathison was very familiar with.

Catwoman, Serena Kyle!

"I never thought you'd show up here, Catwoman."

In the blink of an eye, Mathison removed the shocked expression from her face and replaced it with a confident cold face, saying in Barbara's voice.

"Hmph, you don't need to maintain that disguise in front of me, Phantom Kid!"

Serena snorted coldly.

”Are you going to ask me again how can I see through you? There was no point thinking about it; the only person who could unlock the secrets of this place, other than its owner, was an expert thief who could do so.”

"No matter who you're undercover with, as long as you're the one who opens the secret door alone, you must be the Phantom Kid."

Speaking of which, Serena looked at Mathison from top to bottom and said, "What I didn't expect was to see the Phantom Kid obsessed with women in such a perverted way."

"Your skin is so good, it won't lie, I'm a little jealous."

It's not that Mathison hopes to hide from Catwoman, she's just trying to be sneaky. After all, there was no way the GCPD would find anything unusual here, other than Kid.

Furthermore, although it wouldn't be a challenge for Gordon to break the mechanism and gain entrance with his intelligence, his work ethic tied him up, therefore, he wouldn't even think of trying to catch Kid that way.

”I don't mind sharing my own skin care routine if you want .. So, beautiful Miss Kyle, did someone hire you to photograph Cat's Eye Emerald again this time?”

Instantly releasing her disguise, Mathison transforms into a Phantom Kid costume, and Serena stares at him intently, trying to catch a glimpse of this quick-change magic trick.

Serena is called Catwoman, not only because of her flexible cat-like body, but also because of her cat-like eyes. He can see much more clearly in the dark, allowing him to maneuver more easily and comfortably at night than Mathison.

However, no matter how amazing Catwoman's vision was, she still could not see exactly how Kid could turn into someone else by pulling and flipping her clothes.

"Yes, I'm indeed hired, Cat's Eye Emerald is already in Catwoman's pocket, you don't want to snatch a cat's eye, do you?"

Serena said, making a rough face, her voice trembling slightly, making her sound nice and heartbreaking.

"Oh, Miss Kyle, your acting skills aren't good enough, I think the person who hired you is Daggett, he wants you to stop me from stealing gems, right?"

When Mathison sees Serena, she finds out why Daggett isn't here, not because he doesn't care about her gems at all, but because he has Catwoman as a secret weapon.

In general, there are only a few famous thieves in Gotham, the strongest have retired in Arkham, and none as good as Serena. Phantom Kid has made a big name for himself lately, but in the end he is still a criminal newcomer, the type who avoids murder. And in a city like Gotham, he won't even rank as the new criminal star of the year.

Unfortunately, what Daggett doesn't know is that the Phantom Kid has gone up against Catwoman and become the winning side.

There was no way Serena would tell Daggett about this because she dreamed of getting the "Cleaning Program" and would do anything to it, therefore, she could not let Daggett doubt her abilities.

“Bang!”

It was not Serena who responded to Mathison, but the gun in her hand.

”Hey, Miss Kyle, don't you think your reactions are overreacting? I haven't even captured your eyes.”

”Heh, don't forget we have beef, now to settle the score. Last time, you stole the Star of Adam, which caused me to be almost shot by those of my employer indiscriminately. It took a while to calm their anger, not to mention my current employer wanted me to kill you other than protecting the gem.!”.

“Bang!”

Another shot was fired, and Mathison obediently retreated outside the dark door, using the corner of the corridor, and the room, as a cover.

"Miss Kyle, the sound of gunfire will immediately attract the attention of the police and at that time, I'm afraid the GCPD will arrest the two fugitives."

Mathison said as she pulled out her poker gun and listened to Serena's breath to determine her attitude and location.

”Do you think there is only one secret door to enter and exit this secret room? The police will come, but you will be a corpse by then. ”

Serena looked triumphantly, “The mechanism of the secret door was very tightly bound to the collection room door, when the secret door was opened, the two entrances to the corridor would automatically lock, and the, it still takes a little time for the police to find him. get in."

"And that's enough time for you to shoot me a few hundred times with your gun, right?"

Mathison said what Serena didn't say.

"Haha, you're right, for some reason you seem to know me quite well, and I really don't want to kill you."

"Hum, is my charm persuading you?"

"Wow, even under these circumstances, you're actually in the mood for a joke like that, tsk, I'm starting to like you a little bit."

Serena's eyes are confused, she has no idea what Kid is doing, with many cops banging on the door outside, and the only way out is guarded by herself. He would be shot dead once he appeared, just by opening a small door, barely open, would make a blind man a sniper.

The only way out is to force his way into the secret room, otherwise, there are only two outcomes: being killed by Serena or taken away by the police.

At this point, the same process passed through Mathison's mind, only that she came to a very different conclusion from Serena.

He took out a special playing card made from a very special material, which was small, heavy, hard, and heat resistant. He only has ONE special card.

By inserting this particular playing card into the poker gun, the preparation is complete.

"I only had one chance ..."

Mathison has a crazy idea, which is unrealistic but still possible.

"Not a big deal, I'll take the bullet!"

Taking a deep breath, Mathison's eyes brightened and her ears twitched, listening to Serena's breath.

Then, there were deadly moments of silence.

Finally, with a flash of light in his eyes, Mathison stepped into the hidden door in an instant.

“Bang!” “Bang!”

Serena had been waiting for him for a long time and naturally pulled the trigger.

And, for a split second, in the room, two shots echoed …
