Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 176: True and False, False and True (part 2)

Quickly turning around to take a look, he saw the familiar bat suit and half-exposed chin. 

These all indicate the identity of the person who came. 

It was really Batman! 

“Batman! I didn’t think you would be late.” 

Gordon stared at him and complained. 

“The more you cut me, the faster I grow. What am I?” 

Batman said this out of nowhere. 

“What did you say?” 

Gordon was stunned for a moment. 

“It’s not difficult to solve the riddle, I thought of the final answer the first time I saw the riddle.” 

Batman was still talking to himself, no matter what Gordon said, he didn’t engage with him. 

“However, even if I got the answer, I couldn’t deduce where the Riddler is hiding the nuclear bomb.” 

“Shut up!” 

Gordon suddenly roared out of control, and he pointed at the “Batman” in front of him, with his eyes staring. 

“I didn’t have time to give you the riddle just now. How on earth did you know the content of the riddle!” 

“You’re definitely not Batman, who are you?” 

Gordon’s words came to an abrupt end here, his brain was running fast, and he thought of a person in an instant. 

“Lupin III!” 

“No, Lupin III is also a pseudonym, you are not an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. at all!” 

“Hahaha, did you finally find out?” 

“Batman” laughed, while reaching out and raising the bat cloak behind him, uncovering his entire body. 

With the influence of gravity, the cloak fell naturally. 

At the same time, the parts of the bat suit were also scattered on the ground. 

The one who appeared in front of Gordon was Phantom Kid! 

Mathison straightened his top hat, and secretly complained about the way the bat suit was so compactly designed, and it took a lot of effort for him to take it off. 

Under normal circumstances, it is obvious that it only needs to be pulled, but this time he had to also take the other accessories off… 

“Phantom Kid.” 

Gordon gritted his teeth. 

“Don’t act like a righteous police chief, the two of us are a perfect match here today, face to face, aren’t we?” 

Mathison said while smiling slightly. 

“What do you mean by that?” 

Gordon frowned. 

“I’m not the real Batman, but are you really Gordon?” 

Mathison sneered and said. 

This remark exploded in Gordon’s heart like a thunderbolt. 

“What nonsense are you talking about!” 

Drops of cold sweat fell from Gordon’s forehead. 

“Tsk tsk, even at this point, you are still acting. Honestly, as an actor, you are more dedicated than I thought!” 

Mathison snickered in admiration. 

“Or, don’t you want to reveal your identity to me before you meet Batman?” 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” 

Gordon shouted angrily, took out a pistol, and aimed it at Mathison. 

“Boom!” 

Just as Gordon raised his pistol and was about to pull the trigger, a gunshot came from out of nowhere. 

This shot hit the gun in Gordon’s hand with precision and accuracy, and a strong impact made Gordon unable to hold his weapon at all. 

The pistol flew away. 

“You’d better take a look at this person before deciding whether to continue the show or not.” 

Mathison said calmly and sidestepped. 

“Tack Tack Tack…” 

A man with a bandage on his head and a khaki windbreaker emerged out of the darkness and stood in the position that Mathison gave up. 

He was holding a pistol in his hand, and it was clear that he was the one who had just shot. 

The moment he saw this person, Gordon’s face turned blue, and a feeling of humiliation hit his heart. 

“You managed to piss me off.” 

“Gordon” first snapped his fingers, then twisted his neck. 

His appearance changed drastically. 

“In the original plan, the person standing in front of me at this time should be Batman, and he should thank you for going to hell for him.” 

“Gordon” put his hand on his face, and his whole face was torn off. 

The exposed face is also a face wrapped in bandages! 

exactly the same as the man opposite. 

“Originally, I didn’t have much attention to give you, but since you have discovered my identity, I have no choice but to kill you.” 

“You’re finally willing to take off your mask, Mr. Elliott, of course, and perhaps you prefer me to call you—Hush.” 

Mathison revealed the true identity of the bandaged monster in front of him. 

Thomas Elliott, known as Hush!

He is the contemporary head of the Elliott family, one of the four oldest families in Gotham, which is similar in status to the Penguin Cobblepot. 

However, the size of Hush’s power is far smaller than that of the Penguin. 

Because he’s not like the other super-criminals in Arkham Asylum. 

Everyone else was interested in Batman, but he was interested in Bruce Wayne. 

Thomas and the Penguin had very different childhood experiences. 

The Wayne family and the Elliott family are family friends, and the Cobblepot family is relatively the least popular of the four families because they are very close to the Falcone family. 

The Falcone family is a mafia family that immigrated from Italy to Gotham in the United States. 

Many years ago, Falcone was the most powerful underworld emperor in Gotham and even in the United States. At that time, people like Kingpin were just gangsters who had just joined the New York gang. 

The Penguin was ridiculed because of his natural posture. Inferiority and cowardice were the most realistic portrayal of him at that time. 

But this has happened decades ago. 

Because of the “corruption” of the Cobblepot family, joining Falcone to form a gang, the other three families were very disdainful of it. 

So, the Cobblepot family was alienated from the three. 

Thanks to the friendship between the Elliott family and the Wayne family, Hush became good friends with Bruce at a very young age. 

He thinks that Bruce is simply the happiest person in the world, with a lot of things Hush doesn’t have. 

No one knew Thomas had a twisted psyche, and he was jealous of everything Bruce had. 

This jealousy drove Thomas to develop the habit of imitating Bruce unknowingly. 

The most terrifying thing is that because Bruce’s parents were assassinated in Crime Alley, Thomas also imitated it madly. He murdered his parents in a car accident and inherited their billions of properties. 

Then, he imitated Bruce Wayne through constant observation, so that in the end he directly plasticized himself into Bruce Wayne’s appearance, and wrapped his face with a bandage, claiming to be Hush. 

That’s why, when Hush pretended to be Gordon, he said no one in the world knew Batman better than he does, and he had the confidence to say so. 

That’s also the reason why Hush was able to disguise himself as Gordon so perfectly.

How could Hush not investigate seriously the person who guided Bruce throughout his life? 

“Why, why are you able to fool me into believing with all my heart that you are Batman?” 

Staring at Mathison silently, he questioned unwillingly. 

Mathison burst out laughing. 

“You really think you are the person who knows Batman best in the world? ” 

The masked man standing next to Mathison took a step forward, tearing off the bandages on his head. 

Hush’s face was revealed before tearing off the mask. 

He is the real Gordon! 

“You’re just imitating a person’s movement habits, but you can never understand his psyche. Hush, you are the person who least understands Batman in this world!”
