Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
4. Silver Wing in Moon Light

“Under the night sky, she appeared quietly and right in front of us, her eyes seemed able to detect and penetrate everything, showing a brave smile.”

   “With a robe and hat, and without unnecessary movement, his face was covered with lensed glasses that emitted his backlight. Although she could not be seen clearly, one could see how shocking she was still young, perhaps in her 30s, 20s, or even younger!”

It's been years since Jim Gordon first met Kid. Surprisingly, he remembered…

"Is that a Ghost Child?"

"Should! But why is he wearing white?”

"I don't know, I just know that the clothes are obviously very ancient, and yet, they have an indescribable charm worn by him!"

"He's even more elegant than a British man!"

"Yes, he looks so cool!"

   White is the most conspicuous color in the dark, and, nowadays, many people have taken out their phones to light a flashlight that shines on the Kid. He became the spectator. Under these circumstances, Kid is hard to miss from the view of the masses.

“The elegance of this thief only humiliates the police!”, Gordon said, with a very ugly expression

 At the same time, he seemed insecure and unafraid. According to Gordon's mind, this thief Kid is nothing more than an amateur.

“Everything, please be quiet.”

Mathison smiled politely, her voice seemed to have magical powers, and the crowd instantly stopped talking.

“I'm sure everyone has guessed who I am. That's right, I'm Kid, guilty as charged. Today, I'm here to pick up star Adam.”

  "Stop stupidity!" The roar interrupted Mathison's speech.

“Your taunts are over! Phantom Kid, you're under arrest!”

Gordon pulled out his gun and aimed at Mathison and coldly said: "This place is surrounded by police, there is not a single chance to escape!"

“Although you haven't stolen any gems, spreading misinformation and sabotaging the power supply system through explosions is a crime. Hope you can reflect on the joke you made today in prison! ”

The two, the police at the scene and the ones hiding in the darkness, move at the same time while aiming their guns at Mathison.

“Prank?”

Facing such a dangerous situation, the Phantom Kid did not even flinch, as if all of these pistols aimed at him did not exist. He was more interested in Gordon's words.

“No, no, no, I have no habit of making jokes or joking. More importantly, who said I didn't steal Adam's star?”

“You're making fun of the police. Are you even aware of the consequences ?! ”

Aaron Kash's forehead exploded with blue veins, and he could not wait to shoot the man who dared to insult the police in front of everyone.

"Don't be impulsive, Aaron." Gordon patted Aaron on the shoulder, looking at Mathison calmly.

“Well, I'm sure you came to get Adam's star, but unfortunately the star is now lying quietly in the bulletproof glass behind me. There is no chance that you can put your hand on it. ”

“True, are you sure?” Mathison asked rhetorically, with a mocking indentation at the corner of her lips.

Hearing these words, Gordon's pupils shrank, and soon, as he looked back at the glass cover, his face changed drastically.

The star of Adam, who was there a moment ago, is gone!

"Chief Gordon, are you looking for this?"

Mathison raised her right hand and flicked her finger. There was a huge sapphire in his hand, almost as big as his palm.

It is clear that it is the star of Adam, from a unique six star sapphire line pattern!

"He really stole Adam's star, when ?!"

“How did he do it? Since the lights went out until its appearance, only ten seconds had passed. The bulletproof glass cover was still intact. How is this possible! “Gordon stared at Adam's star in Mathison's hands in disbelief.

"Could he have some kind of super power?"

   During this period, the New York war had not yet begun, and there was no news of Superman. The existence of superhumans is still not visible to the public. Batman and many of the villains, known to Gordon well, have no supernatural abilities, so he is naturally surprised by such suspicious actions: the act of stealing gems through objects.

“I was supposed to leave after getting the gem, but this is my first appearance. I can't bear to back off too quickly.It's a pity that police officers don't seem to want this stage to continue.”.

At this moment, Mathison was like a magician who was unwilling to leave the stage, but had to get off as soon as possible. He had no choice but to say goodbye to the audience.

“However, before I leave, I want to give you a small gift. Due to my limited time, I am not quite ready. I hope none of you don't like it.”

"Now, everyone here, please, close your eyes ..."

   The young women closed their eyes obediently, beside most of the young people who were impressed by the charm of the thief. Only the police kept a sharp look at him, and a small portion of the audience, who wanted to see what tricks the Phantom Kid would perform. .

Mathison slowly raised her left hand and flicked her finger again. At the same time, his right hand moved down slightly, gradually, and a small ball slid downwards.

"WHAT!"

Everyone who opened their eyes shouted almost simultaneously, as a strong light pierced through their eyes.

“Damn, this is flashbang! There are too many civilians here, don't shoot incessantly! No need to panic!” gordon shouted, quickly covering his eyes with his hands. He moved a little faster than the others, but was still blind.

"EXPLOSION!"

Suddenly there was a sound of broken glass. Although Gordon himself ordered the police officer to stop the gunfire, he followed his instincts and opened fire in the direction of the sound.

Because of his experience, Gordon could have sworn that he heard the sound of a bullet piercing through the flesh, but he wasn't sure which body part was actually damaged by the bullet.

“Agh! Sir, I was shot, can you protect me? ”

Wait, why is this Aaron's voice?

   Flashbangs are in fact unlike those in games that can only blind for a few seconds. The strong can even cause permanent blindness, even if you close your eyes immediately. As a result, one's eyes would take tens of seconds to recover.

   The power of the flashbang created by Mathison was not that powerful, its effect disappearing in about twenty seconds. At this moment, Gordon happened to look into the French window where the Phantom Kid stood before. It was broken, and a burst of wind blew from outside. Aaron fell by the window with one bloody right thigh.

“Harun! How could you? How can you be there?”

Gordon never expected to hit his subordinates, a feeling of guilt permeated his heart.

“I heard the sound of a window breaking, and, impulsively, ran towards him. I didn't expect to be shot by the thief," Aaron smiled bitterly, "Sir, I'm so useless."

For a moment, a puzzled expression adorned Gordon's face.

"Aaron, it's actually me ..."

When Gordon was about to tell Aaron the truth, Aaron suddenly thrashed.

"It's not the time to stay here, Chief, go after the thief Kidd!"

This reply immediately freed Gordon from his guilt. He immediately walked to the window and looked down, but he saw nothing, not even a trace of rope or stork.

"Look up, sir!"

Gordon looked up, and he saw a white figure in the distant sky. Who else besides the Phantom Code? As for how he flew, how could Gordon not be familiar with the device?

   Hang hover! The tip is even equipped with propellers to stabilize the flight.

More importantly, like the Phantom Kid costume, the hang gliding wings are also white, as if to allow the police to see them more clearly. This is definitely a mockery!!
