Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
67.Solomon's Key
"You hit someone?"
exclaim Barbara, and Daisy on the other end of the phone should explain further.
"He was fine, got up early the next morning, and called himself Thor Odinson, the mystical god of thunder."
"I don't know if you've been following the news in New Mexico lately, but a hammer fell here a while ago and no one can pick it up, and Thor says it's his Mjolnir."
"You mean he took a hammer that no one could take and then you believed that he was Thor, the god of thunder?"
barbara said uncertainly.
“No, that hammer seems to have been seized by the FBI. Thor forced his way into their camp the day before yesterday and said he would get his hammer back, but it turned out he couldn't lift it.”
Barbara: “...”
Why do I suddenly feel like you're teasing me?
"Then why do you still say that Thor is real?"
"Because of yesterday!"
Daisy said with unusual excitement: “About yesterday afternoon, a strange-shaped fire... robot? After all, high monsters attacked the city. ”
”And then Thor's friends, the Four Warriors, found us through the Rainbow Bridge, and tried to warn Thor that Loki wanted to hurt him.”
"Wait, isn't uncle Loki Thor?"
Barbara wonders if her best friend has been brainwashed by someone.
“It was a myth that was spread by accident. Loki is actually Thor's brother!”
“By the way, I don't know what happened, I just saw Thor almost get killed by that monster when Mjolnir, his hammer, flew towards him by himself and changed his body!”
"He was actually able to summon thunder and destroy the monster in three or two punches."
Daisy's tone was filled with excitement.
"You know what? Jane fell in love with Thor, and Thor loved Jane, it was one of those stories where gods and humans fell in love, and it really happened right before my eyes!”
”Uh ... wow, it looks like you are having a thrilling and exciting trip to New Mexico.”
To be honest, Barbara doesn't believe much in what Daisy says, and perhaps Daisy has only slightly exchanged thoughts about her mentor Dr. Foster's.
But the kind-hearted Barbara doesn't want to blow Daisy's emotions away at all, so she follows Daisy's story and says back.
”Yah~ I've said what I've seen and heard, and I wonder if there's anything fun going on in Gotham this whole year, like my idol!”
Cold sweat dripping from Barbara's forehead, “Daisy, aren't you watching the news? Or does the New Mexico city you are visiting have no internet access?”
”Phantom Kid stole a Tamil ruby belonging to Queen Elizabeth, and you are still unaware of such a big problem?”
"What! tamil rubies? Is that really the necklace of the Queen of England?”
daisy said in shock.
”That's Queen Elizabeth we're talking about, she definitely has a lot of bodyguards around her? Is he hurt?”
Listening to Daisy's excited guess, Barbara's cold sweat was flowing more and more.
«My father is the commissioner, and you are very worried about the thief in front of me; are you joking?"
”Phantom Kid is very strong, you don't have to worry about him. This time, not only the GCPD, but even the FBI, CIA, and MI7 have spread out its forces. But he still managed to manipulate them all.”
Barbara's not in a good mood, but she tells Daisy everything that's going on in Robinson Central Park.
He tells her everything, except for the fact that he suspects that Kid is Mathison. Barbara never revealed her suspicions to anyone else, not even Gordon knew.
Only Agent Bean, who happened to meet him, knew about it, but the misunderstanding had been resolved.
”This is highly expected of Lord Kid. He's really amazing. Too bad I wasn't there to witness such a spectacular sight.”.
Daisy's tone suddenly changed.
However, the thing that concerns Barbara next is not the change in Daisy's mood.
"Mr Kid .. did you just say. Master Son?”
”Oh, in fact, I previously joined the Phantom Kid fan club, and I found that his fans liked to call him “Lord Kid.” I guess I just followed .. with that? ”
When Kid was mentioned, Daisy's mood somehow changed for the better.
Barbara could only smile dryly with her mouth twitching awkwardly.
”Oh yes, after Jane and Thor had gathered, that man Thor teleported back to Asgard on the Rainbow Bridge, and I don't know when he'll be back. So, hopefully, she won't forget Jane, or when she comes back, Jane's going gray.”
Daisy starts gossiping again, “Isn't there a saying that there is a year on earth and a day in heaven? If that were true, Jane's situation would be miserable.”
Barbara: “...”
Is this Daisy's way of getting too deep into the drama?
"Finally, Barbara, good news for you!"
"What's the good news?"
”Jane's scientific work is done. He has confirmed his idea that Asgard really exists. So, my internship is also done, now I can study for my next Master's degree!”
"That means I can get back to Gotham soon, and we can get together well."
From Daisy's words, you instantly know how happy she is. However, Barbara herself was rather unhappy.
Not only was he unhappy but he suddenly wanted to drink soda …
After she muttered and hung up the phone, Barbara felt that the joys and sorrows of humans had nothing to do.
As you rejoice over the status of a second-year exchange student, someone your age is already working on a Master's degree.
Hmmm …
We all have a bright future ahead of us.
In New York, a pen shop that hardly gets customers, Bob almost passes through ancient Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Celtic mythology, Norse mythology, and even Egyptian mythology.
But he couldn't find anything related to the six disasters, nor did he know what the meaning of the six disasters fused together was.
"Maybe I should try Indian mythology or Japanese mythology next?"
Thinking about it, Bob packed up his study, left the store and headed straight for the New York Library.
Generally, with such an ancient mythological system, only fragmented information can be found on the Internet, useful content can be found faster by going to the library.
”Weda, Book of Brahma, Book of Forests, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mokobharata, Koli World Order. Why are there so many books? My head will explode if I read everything.”
Library, Theological Area/Occult Text.
Bob came here and saw a frightening number of books and completely lost the urge to look for them.
"Master, may I ask which mythological system are you looking for?"
At this moment, a member of the library staff came, holding a book in his hand.
He saw Bob staring at the bookshelf with a crumpled face, so he asked.
”This... I need a small book popularizing Indian mythology or Japanese mythology, but I want a more comprehensive, preferably kind that roughly encapsulates the whole mythology of that system.”
“Oh, that's the teen version of science, right?”
The staff suddenly said, "Sorry, sir, you should go to the area containing the children's books."
He simply smiled kindly at Bob and then pushed the book in his hand into the corner of the bookshelf.
Bobi: “...”
Suddenly, Bob's eyes fell on the book in the hands of the staff member, and there was a flash of light.
"Wait!"
Bob rushed over and took out the book from the bookshelf that had been filled by the staff.
