Chapter 14: Car Accidents
Lu Xiaoqi didn't sleep all night, it's not that he didn't dare to sleep, after all, there were chains, and he could already interfere with other people's dreams, so he didn't have to worry about the [Dream Snatching] super power getting out of control.
The reason why he didn't sleep was that he really couldn't sleep, I don't know if it was because the dragon turned into a chain devoured the demon, his experience skyrocketed, and he had a feeling that if it continued like this, he would no longer need to sleep.
The next day, Lu Xiaoqi caught up with Professor Birmingham's class on time, although he was very good at English, but after all, there were some professional words that he was not familiar with, so he had to use his mobile phone to record the whole class and go back to watch it again.
"It seems that I got to the library to find a professional vocabulary dictionary to absorb!" Lu Xiaoqi remembered that he could directly absorb the knowledge of books, he was too excited in the library last time, although he absorbed a lot of books, but he forgot to take into account the language.
Today, Professor Birmingham is talking about several ideas about multidimensional universe models that are currently popular in the physics community.
"Everyone has heard of Professor Hawking's theory of the 'cosmic membrane', just as human beings live on the surface of the earth, not in the wider interior of space, in the same way, all galaxies, including the Milky Way, are also on a sphere of a larger cosmic size, a sphere that cannot be measured by human beings at present, and Hawking calls it a 'cosmic membrane'." Professor Birmingham lifted his glasses and looked at the students, who were looking forward to a future master.
"According to the cosmic membrane theory, another relatively reasonable hypothesis has been proposed: taking the same analogy of human life on the earth, people stand on the earth, and the sun shines above their heads, and there will be shadows on the ground. Birmingham made several sketches on the whiteboard.
Lu Xiaoqi, who was recording with his mobile phone below, trembled a little when he heard the word "projection", because this word was a little sensitive to him today, as if he had heard the demon mention it in that dream last night!
"Could it be that the demon is not just a product of dreams?" Lu Xiaoqi frowned, "I always feel that something is wrong!" The demon also said that I was a projection or something, and if I was a spiritual projection, was it too? β
The so-called "mirror flowers and water moon", you break the mirror and muddy the water, although you can no longer reflect the flowers and the moon, but that does not mean that the flowers are dead and the moon is gone!
"Woo" Lu Xiaoqi patted his face, "What are you thinking?" How could there really be any demons? It's all a dream, it's all a dream! He tried to restrain himself from thinking.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After listening to a class absentmindedly, Lu Xiaoqi walked out of the classroom, as a top student, he had never been so distracted in class before.
When he returned to his dormitory, he received a letter, a letter from USCIS, informing him to go through the naturalization process as soon as possible.
Although we have long been mentally prepared, and although we expect the United States, as a superpower, to be a little more "principled", it is time to come.
Zhu Yuyan said that she would get him American citizenship within a month, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
In principle, there are a lot of conditions for foreign nationals to obtain U.S. citizenship, the most basic of which is that they have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years.
Obviously, Lu Xiaoqi has only been in this country for a few days, and it is impossible to meet the conditions. However, as Zhu Yuyan said: "There are many things in this world that you can't understand at this level", no, things have already been done!
"It's really amazing!" Lu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, since all the American citizenship has come down, then he will be an American in the future.
If you want to go back to China, you have to apply for a visa, and Lu Xiaoqi is almost certain that he will never be able to get a visa to return to China, because some people don't want him to go back.
This ridiculous world is really ironic: some people sharpen their heads and want to break away from China and join the United States, but they can't get it; And he was bent on returning to his homeland and hometown, but he couldn't do it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Anne came to Lu Xiaoqi, saying that she thanked him for the interview on behalf of her cousin, and asked him to go to her cousin's birthday party by the way. Because Lu Xiaoqi was going to the immigration office, Anne volunteered to drive him.
Along the way, Anne saw that Lu Xiaoqi was not in high spirits, so she kept gagging to make him happy, but Lu Xiaoqi was absent-minded and just barely perfunctory.
"Lu! You're about to become a U.S. citizen, so be happy! After arriving at the destination, Anne patted Lu Xiaoqi on the shoulder: "Welcome to the land of freedom!" β
β¦β¦
During the whole procedure, Lu Xiaoqi was out of the world, completed the formalities like a marionette, walked out of the building, and got into the car.
Anne is not stupid, although she doesn't understand why Lu Xiaoqi has to change his nationality since it is so painful, but she can see Lu Xiaoqi's depression, he needs space and calmness.
So on the way back, Anne didn't bother Lu Xiaoqi anymore, but drove quietly.
About half an hour later, they arrived in downtown Boston, and it was already afternoon, and Cousin Anne's birthday party was taking place in a bar not far ahead.
Anne found a place to park the car and walked with Lu Xiaoqi to the bar.
At the corner of the street, a little girl with a puppet bear in her hand jumped out, because Lu Xiaoqi was not concentrating and didn't pay attention, so the little girl bumped into his leg.
Lu Xiaoqi's current physical fitness, he himself is not clear, the previous encounter with the robbers, even the bullets could not penetrate his muscles, and the strength was so great that he could punch a strong man several meters away, after that, because the chains absorbed the life energy of the robbers, Lu Xiaoqi knew very well that his physique had been strengthened again, as for how strong it was, he had not tested it himself.
So the little girl hit his leg at the moment, and if it did, it would be like hitting a moving wall, and it would definitely hurt.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaoqi came back to his senses and retreated quickly so that the little girl was not injured, and the little girl was also startled, her little face turned pale, and she stood there crying.
Anne squatted down and hugged the little girl: "Little girl, are you alone?" What about your mother? β
The little girl's face was a little better after being comforted, and she pointed to the opposite side: "Buy ice cream across the street!" I've been waiting for a long time and haven't bought it yet, I'm going to check it out! β
Following the little girl's fingers, the two saw that there was indeed a large HΓ€agen-Dazs store across the street, and through the glass door, they could see a long queue inside.
The little girl, of course, would not be too close to the two strangers, so she broke free from Anne's arms and ran towards the other side with the bear in her arms.
"Buzz!"
The sound of the engine came quickly from a distance, and a red Ferrari sports car actually drifted around the street corner, and then drove quickly in this direction!
"Oh my!" Anne screamed because the little girl was still in the middle of the road!
"God! Stop it! Stop it! The crowd around was also in a commotion, they desperately gestured to the Ferrari to brake sharply, and the Ferrari did brake sharply, but the original speed was too fast, and the car was less than 5 meters away from the little girl!
Even one of the world's top sports cars can't braking at a distance of just 5 meters at high speeds!
"Phew!"
The car crashed, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes, but when they plucked up the courage to look again, they were all stunned - a man held the little girl in his arms, his back was facing the direction of the car, his legs were sunk in the front of the sports car, and the whole sports car was sunken in!
The little girl was unharmed, the sports car driver's face was pressed against the airbag, his forehead was bleeding, his eyes were closed and he seemed unconscious, the alarm lights in the car were flashing, and the "Di Di Di" siren made the scene seem quieter.
That's right, it was Lu Xiaoqi who saved people, he pulled out his legs and found that his pants were so tattered that they were out of shape, including his underwear, and even his butt was a little gone, but there was nothing wrong with his legs, and when the sports car hit him just now, he couldn't even feel the pain.
When the little girl was put on the side of the road, her mother had come out with ice cream, and the little girl threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly - she was terrified.
The little girl's mother pulled Lu Xiaoqi and kept thanking him, but Lu Xiaoqi didn't want to stay for a long time, he felt cold in his crotch now, and he had to change his pants quickly or find a place to hide, it was too shameful.
"Oh my God! It's Tom! At this moment, Anne, who came to check if Lu Xiaoqi was okay, suddenly shouted, she saw the Ferrari driver, it was the Tom who had been pestering her!
