Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
73. Ready it?

After waiting another ten minutes, the Phantom Kid still had not appeared.

The power outage seemed to be just an ordinary short circuit.

It's okay now. The reporters' expectations deflated like balloons.

They all became reluctant, once again, as before.

When they learned that the content they had just recorded excitedly was a transition from Kingpin's heartfelt speech to complete darkness, they were all disappointed.

Unfortunately, none of the people present noticed them from beginning to end.

The party continues.

Kingpin has no intention of relaxing. He is a villain with ambition and ambition.

According to him, the Phantom Kid would definitely not give up easily.

There is still a long time until the end of the party, where Kid will definitely not leave.

At this moment, Mathison quietly walked into the bathroom.

The bathroom was a good place for people like him.

First, there's no surveillance here.

Secondly, there are some small enclosed spaces here.

Third, there is a special ventilation duct here.

Fourth, no matter what time or occasion, there is nothing that will stop you from entering the washroom, as long as you are not constantly going back and forth.

The only bad thing is that you can't stay inside for too long, but that's when there aren't many people. However, not in this case; there were 3000 people.

No one would notice the absence of one or two people.

At least, here, Mathison can be sure that no one is watching her all the time, and that's enough.

Mathison skillfully removed the wire mesh from the vent and jumped up.

«I still remember where the location of the system control room was at ..»

Moments later, Mathison climbs up the control room of the system, located on the ceiling, to the left of the doorway.

There are two monitors in total.

One security camera is in the opposite right corner, facing the door in a diagonal line, passing through the entire control room.

The other camera is on Mathison's right, just monitoring the operating console.

Roughly, there are three blind spots, and the closest to Mathison is the distance under the camera to Mathison's right up to the corner.

“Why is it my turn to serve here today, I am not even allowed to smoke... ugh, kill me!”.

A man on duty was sitting in a chair in front of the operating table. He looked very impatient, as he continued to complain.

"Only one man on duty, beautiful."

There is no need to rush to remove the wire mesh from the vent. Mathison pulls out a playing card, aiming for the surveillance blind spot to throw it. With a bit of force, he threw it, and the sound he made was enough to be heard by the person on duty.

Then, Mathison reached out her wrist, opened the cover of her watch and aimed at the surveillance blind spot.

It was a watch-type anesthetic needle.

"What was that?"

The man in charge heard the voice and quickly pulled out his gun.

There was silence in the control room as if no one was there.

The man gulped his saliva and, step by step, slowly walked towards where the voice came from.

Then, he saw playing cards dropped in a corner.

The guard immediately thought of something and pointed his weapon at the ventilation hole as fast as he could.

The barbed wire is intact.

And a second later, nothing happened.

Relieved, thinking he was just over-thinking it, the guard went up and picked up a playing card.

"Thank you!"

On the playing card it says that word.

The male disciple on duty shrank, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Along with an inaudible voice, the guard did not even look back before his eyes turned black and fell to the ground.

Only then did Mathison begin to dismantle the barbed wire.

He adjusted the angle and jumped down to make sure he wasn't caught on camera.

Mathison changes into a man on duty and puts him right under the camera, a position completely blind to surveillance.

Then, Mathison calmly walked over to the console and adjusted the system briefly.

“Mik, what are you doing? Don't mess with the console!”

Suddenly, a voice came from the intercom next to the console.

"And what did you do with your weapon just now, are we under attack?"

Apparently, it was someone from the monitoring room who spoke.

“Sorry, I'm a little bored now, how dare I mess up the system? Everything is normal here.”

Mathison replied in the voice of the man on duty, with a slightly panicked and urgent tone.

"You can see the console by yourself."

Mathison stepped aside, leaving the full display of the console exposed within camera range.

The people in the monitoring room quickly scanned all the important systems to the side, and the lights that lit were all green, indicating that everything was normal.

Since the adjustments made by Mathison were indeed normal, he wasn't so excited to actually touch the central system.

"Well, forget what just happened. Mike, you can't mess things up even if you're unemployed, or you'll upset the boss and your whole family to die!”

The man in the monitoring room seems to be very familiar with Mike. 

Mathison replied with fear, “I know, there will be no next time. But it's so hard to sit here all the time, I want to go for a smoke, right? ”

Mathison started complaining again.

“Obviously there are you guys watching in the monitoring room, there is no need for people to watch here well.”

“Mike, you talk too much today..meh, I will cover you. Your work is boring. But hurry up, and remember to go to the bathroom to smoke!”

After being given permission, Mathison immediately walked out of the control room, into the bathroom; rooms that were not too far from each other.

Climbing the ventilation duct again, Mathison returned to the restroom in the party hall.

He returns disguised as Phineas and leaves Mike's clothes in the ventilation duct.

After finishing his preparations, Mathison returned to the party as if nothing had happened.

As expected, none of them noticed that she had been going to the toilet too long.

"It's gonna happen soon."

Mathison looked at his watch and predicted that the timing was almost right and all the preparations were ready.

"Time to show!"

Mathison put her hand in her pocket and pressed the remote control that had been set up a long time ago.

"explosion!" "explosion!" "explosion!" …

As the guests present were enjoying the banquets and parties, a series of explosions shook them.

Thick gray smoke instantly filled the entire place.

"It's a smoke bomb!"

“Where did this smoke bomb come from? Has anyone seen it?”

“I know, it's Phantom Kid! He's still here!”

“As expected of Phantom Kid, he really isn't a quitter!”

The reporters became excited again, even in the presence of the vast smoke area, they excitedly filmed the scene.

"Sir. Reporter, what exactly are you trying to shoot?”

A familiar voice came out from the smoke in front of the reporters.

An elegant tone, a warm voice, and a mysterious figure in robes and hats were faintly visible…

"The Ghost Child appears!"
