Chapter 45: Reappearance of the Prophecy
Robinson Park, under the central statue.
Queen Elizabeth made her last speech before leaving, and countless people listened quietly.
Ingrid and Tucker stood in the middle of the royal guard.
"Sir, there is no sign of Kaito Kidd's appearance. Will he really show up today?"
Tucker asked Ingrid quietly.
"He will definitely show up!"
Ingrid sneered and said affirmatively.
"It's already half past ten, and we expect to take off at half past twelve. By then, it will be more difficult for him to take action, so it can only be here."
"He may even take action in the next second."
Tucker was startled and immediately looked around vigilantly.
"Don't be nervous, Tucker, calmness is a quality that agents must always maintain."
"Sir, do you mean that Kaito Kidd may have disguised himself as someone present?"
Ingrid nodded.
"Maybe, maybe... you are Kaito Kidd."
English suddenly reached out, pinched Tucker's face, and pulled it hard.
He couldn't pull it off, it was true.
"Sir!"
Tucker rubbed his red cheeks, wanting to cry but unable to, but soon he cheered up.
"Since we came to Gotham, the Royal Guard has been acting collectively, and Kaito Kidd has no chance to disguise himself as any of us."
"So, it can only be someone from the GCPD or other civilians!"
English agreed with Tucker's words.
"Sir..."
Tucker's eyes fell on Barbara, who was standing with Starling not far away. The Queen specially allowed several agents to enter the inner circle, including Commissioner Gordon, who was also in the innermost circle.
"If I remember correctly, Barbara was with Maggieson before, but now she is the only one left, and Maggieson is nowhere to be found... Is it possible that Maggieson is--"
English sneered at the words.
"Don't worry, Tucker, I'm sure that Kaito Kidd is definitely not him!"
"Although he denied that he was from that place, I believe that my feeling will not be wrong. He will at least be related to that place, and people who are related to that place will definitely not be bad people!"
These decisive words and extremely confident eyes made Maggieson, who was hiding in the dark, grateful.
"Sir, where is that place?"
Tucker asked in a daze.
"It's a sacred place, I can't reveal too much information."
Ingrid smiled mysteriously, his eyes full of yearning for that place.
"In short, Maggieson can't be Kaito Kidd's. There are so many people here, it's normal to get lost, there's nothing to doubt."
Tucker nodded convincedly and stopped thinking about Maggieson's question.
Soon, half an hour passed, and eleven o'clock in the evening was about to arrive.
The Queen's speech came to an end, but there was some dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"Why hasn't Charles come yet? Didn't he say he knew he wouldn't be late?"
"His Royal Highness is here!"
At this time, the crowd suddenly made a commotion, and Prince Charles walked in, apologetically saying to the Queen: "Your Majesty, I was delayed on the road, which made me so late."
"For the leader of a country, being late often means missing out on crucial state affairs. Charles, I am very disappointed with your performance today."
The Queen's tone was faint, but there was a sense of power hidden in her.
As expected, she is the longest-serving monarch in Country Y. On the surface, she looks like a kind old lady, but if she really gets serious, the Queen's power can make people breathless.
A look of guilt flashed across Charles' face, and he knelt down in front of the Queen with a look of repentance.
"Get up, Charles, this is not Country Y, and I don't mean to blame you, so don't blame yourself too much."
After receiving the Queen's forgiveness, Charles felt relieved, stood up and walked to the Queen's side.
Next to Starling, Barbara was concentrating on the necklace on the Queen's neck, and occasionally looking at her watch.
"Magic... What exactly is Kaito Kid planning?"
"Damn it, I can't decipher the complete information of the notice letter. I'm so useless."
Barbara clenched her fists. Whether Kaito Kid is Magic or not, she must stop him.
In the dark, where no one knows, Magic is also looking at the time.
Ten fifty-nine minutes and fifty-five seconds.
Fifty-six seconds... Fifty-seven seconds... Fifty-eight seconds... Fifty-nine seconds...
Eleven o'clock!
Magic's eyes were full of victory, and he quietly pressed the button in his hand.
"Click!"
There was a strange sound from above the statue, and a slender black shadow fell to the ground in front of Her Majesty the Queen, making a loud "boom" sound and stirring up countless dust.
Stimulated by this, the Queen remained calm in the face of danger, and calmly stepped back a few steps and hid in a safe place.
Judging from the point where the shadow landed, it was obviously carefully calculated and would not hit anyone present.
"Report, Unit 3 found an unidentified object falling from the statue! Are there any casualties?"
A helicopter reported to Gordon.
"No casualties, continue to observe the statue to see if there are other unidentified objects!"
"Yes!"
The dust cleared, and the true face of the shadow was revealed to the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the central statue square.
That was... a sword!
A sword inserted upside down into a square stone on the ground!
Seeing this scene, Starling, Bob, Gordon, Tucker, Barbara and even Ingrid's face changed drastically.
"So this is the true explanation of the prophecy land!"
The sword in the stone fell from the sky!
"Kaito Kidd has taken action!"
Everyone realized this.
"Ladies~and~gentlemen!"
No one was seen, but the elegant tone came from all directions, it was the voice of Kaito Kidd.
"This guy, is he going to play the same trick again?"
Recalling the scene at Daggett's private exhibition hall that day, Gordon clenched his fists.
"Kid!"
"Kid!"
"Kid!"
However, unlike the police who were on high alert, the Kid fans outside were extremely excited, taking out the glow sticks and signs they had prepared long ago, cheering and screaming loudly.
If you don't know, you might think it's a superstar having a concert.
"Unit 5 has found something unusual, there is a UFO approaching from the west, it's Kaito Kid!"
The intercom sounded again, this time it was the pilot of Helicopter 5.
Gordon looked to the western sky and saw the white hang glider.
He took out a telescope and carefully observed Kaito Kid, and soon found the clue.
"Unit 5, that's a dummy, just fire and destroy it!"
McGilson watched everything quietly, showing a smile of success, and he quietly put on earplugs.
Unit 5 used a machine gun to shoot at the dummy of Kaito Kid, and the dummy lasted less than a second before exploding.
However, at the moment the dummy exploded, a loud and strange sound came from inside the dummy's body, spreading to every corner of Robinson Park...
