Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
66.Call Daisy
What'd you say!"
After hearing George's account, Bob jumped in shock.
”Phantom Kid coming to New York? And there is a teaser letter installed in the NYPD?” window
After getting an agreed answer, Bob rubbed his chin and pondered.
”Wah..
“You want to ask me to help solve the contents of the teaser letter, right? Okay, I promise I'll help you in this. To be honest, I'm still salty about him playing with us last time. ”
"Okay, then I leave it to you, Bob."
"But George, you can't just throw this at me and ignore it yourself."
”You know what kind of person I am; solving a mystery like this is not for me, but I will go and have a good chat with the capitalists who plan to show off the gems tomorrow, he said, and see if I can deduce which of them the Phantom Kid.” wants
"That's really your style, George."
Bob smiled and hung up the phone, then looked at the teaser letter he had just picked up from listening to George's description.
“Devil with fake smile holding Golden Feather
Who knew that the punishment under the moon was coming
Avalanche, strong wind, riot, earthquake, ulcer, sandstorm
When six disasters come together
I'll take back the badge of honor that doesn't belong to you
Sincerely, Phantom Kid”
"It's like the grammar used in drama ... I don't seem to have a clue at first sight."
Bob looked back and forth several times, “Kidd liked to use the content of certain mythological systems to compose seductive letters, such as Greek mythology and Celtic mythology. This time he also had to use another mythological figurative system. ”
”So, Golden Lamb Fur should not refer to Chrysomallos wool. So, the other Golden Lamb Fur in the world that would only be... The Order of the Golden Lamb Fur?”
”Ordo Golden Fleece can also match the last honor badge. Hmm... yes, definitely this.”
The Order of the Golden Fleece originated in the Duchy of Burgundy but was later incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire.
And after the death of Charles V, leader of the Order of the Golden Feather, it fell to the Spanish Habsburg dynasty.
After the dynasty was extinct, both Habsburg Austria and Bourbon Spain claimed power over the Order of the Golden Fleece.”
After thinking about the complex historical legacy of the Knights of the Golden Fleece, Bob became dizzy.
"Truly can't think of where the entry point is, forget it, let's start with the most famous Roman mythology just yet."
Bob moves all books related to myths and legends from his study and flips through them while comparing the six disasters mentioned in the teaser letters.

Early the next day, the Wilson Building, the chairman's office.
Fisk, who was two meters tall and wearing a light gray suit, walked in.
At first glance, he saw Kid's card stuck right on the table. Most of the cards are embedded in the table, and it seems impossible for most people to take out that card.
An expressionless bully walked up to the table, easily pinching the card.
”Phantom Kid, you dare sneak here? I will make your life worse than death!”
He sat as if nothing had happened, and then pressed a button on the corner of his desk.
Not long after, a skinny man wearing sunglasses with a serious expression walked in.
"Take me a new table, and ..."
As soon as the man arrived, Kingpin gave the order.
"Phantom Kid infiltrated here last night, and also left a card on my table trying to retrieve my diamond, and none of you really noticed ..."
Fisk's face did not show the slightest sign of anger, but the skinny man broke out in cold sweat from fear.
"Boss, I will check all the surveillance records in detail, and once again strengthen the night patrol!"
Seeing that the Kingpin had no other orders, the man hurriedly came out.
At the same time, Mathison was lying on the sofa. He mysteriously smiled, with a pair of headphones attached to his ear.
“How about it, does Kingpin do the movement?”
Charlie was lying on the other side of the sofa, and as soon as he saw Mathison's facial expression, he knew what might be going on.
Of course, Mathison couldn't just send a teaser letter and then return empty-handed. He hid his chewing gum wiretaps in the ventilation ducts of the Wilson building.
He wanted to avoid the unexpected.
"Oh, Kingpin reacted as we thought, he really didn't have the slightest thought of calling the police or informing the media."
”Commissioner George probably won't take issue with it either, but at least I can guarantee that the NYPD will intervene. Plus, there are Daredevil guys shooting from the sidelines, making it a lot easier to get a punch.”
Little head Charlie nodded up and down, it agreed: “Hell's Kitchen is a special situation, not suitable for a large number of civilians going there; keeping the media away from this is the right thing to do.”
As everything goes according to plan, Mathison takes off her headphones. He had been listening to Kingpin in his office since morning. And now, since it was almost afternoon, his ears were already uncomfortable.
“Bug it won't be long to be discovered by Kingpin, that his sister has gone to check the surveillance record. Although I am sure that the speed of discarding the card will not be captured by the monitor ..”
Mathison continued: “But because of this, they will realize that I did not sneak in through the normal way, and it is even more unlikely that I will be under surveillance. It can be easily graded from the corner of the card on the table. It's out of the vent.”
”Then, he will definitely thoroughly inspect all the ventilation ducts of the building. I believe that it is impossible for Jin to think about this. Now she doesn't realize that she just suspected that I was sneaking in.”
Gotham's summer is not known for its heat, but the hot air still prevents many from going outside.
It is now mid-August. Gotham University has begun its summer vacation. The previous exchange student selection ceremony was a special notice
When school starts on September 10, Mathison and Barbara can go straight to New York University to report, without worrying about the University of Gotham's curriculum interruption.
On the other hand, Barbara was also at home, only she chose to sit in front of the computer, staring at the incomprehensible jumbled codes on the screen.
Suddenly, Barbara's phone rang.
"Aster flowers?"
”Barbara, you will not believe what I will say next, but I swear to God that everything I say is true!”
”The Rainbow Bridge is real! Thor, the god of thunder, is also real!”
"What did you say?"
Maybe Daisy talks too fast, or maybe Barbara just thinks Daisy is joking.
“One day, Jane and I went to a small town, and then our car hit a man who fell from the sky!”
