Chapter 7 Red Magic
"In fact, I have always wanted to see with my own eyes what Selina Kyle, the cat thief who has been wanted by the police for so long, looks like."
"After all, strictly speaking, you are my predecessor."
McGilson suddenly became interested and took off the mask of Catwoman, revealing a moving face that looked very similar to a Hollywood actress in Maggieson's previous life.
"It's a pity for a beautiful woman like you to be a thief, Miss Kyle."
McGilson returned the original words.
"I didn't expect you to be so stingy."
Selina pouted her lips. She was not worried that Kaito Kid would hurt her. After all, she didn't feel any hostility.
"It's getting late, Miss Kyle. I have one last question for you. Who is your employer?"
"Well, you know, even in our business, we have our own principles, such as never revealing the identity information of customers."
Selina turned her face to the other side facing away from Maggieson to prevent him from staring into her eyes.
"Well, it seems that you are a thief with principles... So, do you know 'Bane'?"
McGilson suddenly asked.
"Who is Bane?"
Selina was puzzled by Makison's sudden question. She knew most of the rich people in Gotham City and was employed by them many times. This is why she has not been caught by the GCPD even though her name and appearance are clearly on the wanted list, but she has never heard of the name Bane, and she doesn't know why Kaito Kid asked Bane.
"This expression and reaction... She is not lying!"
McGilson's expression did not change, and he thought in his heart.
"That means there is still a lot of time before Bane appears, but it won't be too long..."
Eight years ago, the Joker came out of nowhere and pushed the prosecutor Harvey Dent, who was full of blood and justice at the time, into the abyss of revenge, but Gotham could not accept the blackening of a righteous knight, especially Harvey Dent, who was regarded as the savior of Gotham at that time.
The Dent Act, which he strongly advocated, could effectively combat criminals. Once Harvey Dent's image collapsed, the Dent Act would completely lose its effectiveness in the hearts of Gotham citizens. The GCPD finally had the opportunity to completely change the rampant gangs in Gotham, and this situation must not be allowed to happen.
So the police concealed the truth about Harvey Dent's death, lied that Batman killed Harvey, and pushed a series of crimes committed by Harvey to Batman. Since then, the Dent Act has been unbreakable due to Harvey's heroic sacrifice, and Batman has disappeared.
So far, Gotham has begun an eight-year period of peace, and the Dent Act has contributed greatly. Of course, black transactions are impossible to completely erase after all, but have changed from rampant in the open to hidden in the dark.
Gotham has risen from the city with the highest crime rate in the United States to a city with a medium crime rate, which is an unimaginable progress.
Until Bane came to Gotham, revealed the truth of everything, and almost destroyed Gotham.
This whole incident happened exactly eight years after Harvey's death, which is this year, but Maggieson doesn't remember the exact time.
Maggieson recalled that the prelude to Bane's arrival was that he hired Catwoman to go to Wayne Manor to obtain Bruce Wayne's fingerprints, which was used to transfer Bruce's shares on the stock exchange.
But now Catwoman said that she didn't know Bane, which proved that Bane had not yet deployed in Gotham, but it was estimated that he would find Selina soon.
There are definitely many rich people who want Adam's Star, but Maggieson doesn't bother to care which one it is.
"It seems that I guessed the wrong person, Miss Kyle, so... it's time to say goodbye."
Maggieson grabbed the cloak with his hand and threw it, covering his body completely. The movement was frighteningly fast. When the cloak fell naturally, the figure of Kaito Kidd had disappeared.
At this time, Selina hadn't even come back to her senses.
"Wait, didn't he take the Star of Adam?"
Selena was suspicious. Could it be that because she placed the Star of Adam in a sensitive place, Kaito Kid didn't take it back out of some gentlemanly manner?
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, it seemed that Kaito Kid was very young. Thinking about it this way, he must be a fledgling who had never seen a real woman!
Selena was thinking wildly in her mind.
Hesitantly, she reached into her pride and took out the Star of Adam to check it.
"Shit! This is... a fake! But when did he change it? Why don't I feel anything..."
On the other side, after walking around for more than a dozen blocks and changing his disguise three or five times, Maggieson returned home with his original appearance.
In the world of American comics, even the movie universe cannot be taken lightly.
As soon as he returned home, Maggieson quickly locked the doors and windows, then walked into the bedroom and turned on the long-lost system with great expectation.
The personal panel immediately appeared, and a hint of disappointment flashed across Maggieson's eyes.
Host: Maggieson Feng
Age: 20
Identity: Kaito Kidd
Items: "Kaito Kidd's Full Skills", "Magic Mastery", "Small Technology Prop Manufacturing Book"
The panel has very little content, no prompt sound, no instructions, no messy lottery exchange, and even no tasks!
Since the time he crossed over ten years ago, the system has always been like this, and Maggieson has long been accustomed to it.
When the system was first bound, he still imagined that the system would tell him a magnificent story, some technological crystallization of a high-level civilization or to please a supreme being. He originally thought that he had to wait until he really became Kaito Kidd to activate the system, but in the end, there was nothing.
As time went by, Maggieson grew up, and the system was still the same system...
Wait!
Suddenly, Maggieson found that the system panel had some changes.
In the upper right corner of the "Host" column, there was a very small exclamation mark. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore it.
Click on the exclamation mark, the panel instantly becomes transparent, and a new panel pops up.
"Stolen target: Adam's Star"
"Treasure value: C"
"Completion difficulty: Easy"
"Gorgeous level: B, special note - shocking more than ten people is D level, more than one hundred people is C level, more than one thousand people is B level, more than ten thousand people is A level, more than one hundred thousand people is S level..."
"Final evaluation: B"
"Reward: Red Magic Encyclopedia"
It seems that as long as you steal treasures, you can get rewards.
"Do you want to receive the reward?"
That's even a question, Maggieson nodded without hesitation.
I saw a heavy and simple book in Maggieson's hand, with strange and mysterious patterns on the cover.
This red magic comes from the world of "Magic Kaito". It is Koizumi Hongzi's family magic. Its main function is to temporarily control human emotions and actions. Other types of magic are also available, but in smaller quantities.
In the duel with Kidd, he also showed an effect similar to freezing time and space, so the upper limit of red magic itself is not low. If you really count, there should be no red magic rewards for B-level evaluation, and A-level or even S-level are not uncommon.
However, the limitations of red magic are also very large, such as losing magic power when shedding tears, the highest level of magic can only be used when the moon is full, offensive magic is rare, etc., which lowers the evaluation of red magic in the system.
When you open the magic book, you will see dense spells covering the pages, countless strange patterns that make people puzzled, and the text in the book is different from any known language on earth.
Fortunately, this time the system "thoughtfully" instilled the text and language related to the magic book for Maggieson, otherwise it might take Maggieson ten lifetimes just to translate these contents.
Of course, if you want to learn how to use these spells and cultivate magic power, you still need Maggieson to figure it out by himself...
