Chapter 7: The Robbers

Tom is gone, breakfast is over, and now the scene is a little awkward.

"I'm sorry, Lu!" Anne's face was slightly red, "That Tom is so annoying, I had to say those words as a last resort, I hope it won't bother you!" ”

"I'm bothered!" Lu Xiaoqi complained loudly in his heart, of course he couldn't really say it, he just smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I don't mind being teased by a beautiful lady like you!" He even made a joke.

Anne breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to her previous lively appearance: "Breakfast has been eaten, let's go, I'll take you to the library!" ”

……………

The Harvard University Library is the largest university library in the world, with more than 15 million books; It includes more than 90 academic branches in various majors, located in the Boston area, Washington, D.C., Florence, Italy, and other cities around the world, with 49 branches in Harvard University alone.

And the place where Anne took Lu Xiaoqi was the largest library in Harvard University, the Widener Library.

Amazingly, it's just past 8 a.m. EST, and the library manager is already sitting in a crowd.

"It's hard work!" Lu Xiaoqi sighed, he didn't expect American students to be so diligent.

"There aren't so many people in normal times!" "Exams are approaching, and a lot of them are here to revise!" After all, there is a good learning atmosphere here! ”

Lu Xiaoqi suddenly realized that the phenomenon of pre-exam assault seems to exist in a school.

Walking beside the rows of bookshelves, Lu Xiaoqi remembered his days at Yenching University and was full of nostalgia.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoqi seemed to hear someone whispering, the voice was very low and chaotic, he thought that there were students nearby reading in a whisper, but looking around, except for him and Anne, there was no one.

"What's wrong? Land? Anne saw Lu Xiaoqi stop and look around, and couldn't help asking, "What book are you looking for?" I'll help you! ”

"Did you hear anything?" Lu Xiaoqi asked.

Anne listened for a while, shook her head, and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Xiaoqi's brows furrowed, he did hear someone whispering in his ear, and the voice seemed to be getting louder and louder!

The voice was chaotic, and it seemed to be mixed with multiple languages, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't hear what this voice was expressing, suddenly, the chaotic voice suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, "Lu Xiaoqi!" A very light voice seemed to sound in Lu Xiaoqi's ears, very standard Chinese!

Lu Xiaoqi's hair suddenly stood on end, this was like hitting a ghost in the daytime!

In order not to scare Annie, Lu Xiaoqi made an excuse and said that he wanted to go around by himself, and then go to the rest area to find Annie after a while, and then walked quickly behind a bookshelf where no one was around, and rubbed his temples vigorously.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, from the time he was smashed by the box to now, the strange things that happened to him have not stopped, if it weren't for his thick nerves, he might have collapsed long ago if he were someone else.

He took a few deep breaths, and the voice in his ear that called him never stopped, he closed his eyes, carefully distinguishing the direction of the sound, and after a long time, he was sure that these voices were actually coming from the surrounding bookshelves, to be precise, a book on the shelf, which seemed to resonate and call his name!

As if a ghost was a miracle, he randomly selected a book on the shelf, reached for it, and when his fingertips touched the cover of the book, Lu Xiaoqi felt a sensation like an electric current spread from the book down his arm to his brain, and a large amount of information was poured into his mind!

This is an art book, and when he lets go of the book a minute later, he can memorize almost any corner of the book, and can describe the illustrations of any place in the book!

This discovery made Lu Xiaoqi smile - this ability is good! This is the ability that all top students dream of!

For Lu Xiaoqi, compared to the few inexplicable abilities he had obtained before, this ability to learn book knowledge in an instant is simply amazing!

"God help me! It seems that I am destined to become a great man of science! Lu Xiaoqi thought excitedly, originally, he still has a lot of knowledge to learn in order to get close to his ideals, but learning this matter may be the most time-consuming thing in the world, and if he wants to become a physicist, it may take more than ten years, or even decades to study and study!

But now this ability can help him greatly reduce this time! Not only that, but perhaps he could become not only a physicist, but also the greatest writer, artist, chemist, physician, architect, and so on!

Lu Xiaoqi, who was excited, found a few large books to experiment, and all of them absorbed the knowledge in a short time, which made him more confident than ever!

So, as if enchanted, he pressed his hands to the stacks of books on the shelves, closed his eyes and enjoyed the pleasure of the knowledge transmitted into his mind.

…………

"Lu! Land! What happened to you? Lu Xiaoqi felt that someone was shaking his body, opened his eyes, and found that his vision was very blurry, and his mind was dizzy, so he shook his head, which was better.

"God! Why are you asleep here? Also, you have a lot of nosebleeds, don't you even know it? Lu Xiaoqi saw clearly that it was Annie who was shaking him, and the red blood stains on his white shirt chest.

He was now sitting with his back to the bookshelf, still clutching two books in his hands.

It may be that absorbing knowledge requires mental consumption, he consumed too much, and unconsciously fell asleep, and his brain activity, which was almost close to the physiological limit, made him temporarily shocked, and he had a nosebleed.

He smiled bitterly, he took it for granted, he was only flesh and blood, and there was a limit.

As he knows, Harvard University alone has 15 million books, and each book takes 1 minute to absorb, so 15 million books will take 28 years of sleepless!!

The reality is that the experience and knowledge of human civilization can not be recorded in a mere Harvard library!

"Sure enough, greed is the original sin of mankind!" Lu Xiaoqi sighed and stood up with Anne's support.

"Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?" Anne said with concern.

"No need, I'm fine, I'll just go back to the dormitory and rest!" Lu Xiaoqi has become more and more fond of Annie, she is really a good girl.

"Alright! If you need any help, feel free to call me! Anne borrowed a pen and paper to write her contact information to Lu Xiaoqi, and then sent him back to the dormitory.

……………

Lu Xiaoqi returned to the dormitory, slept through noon, took a shower to recover some spirits, he has always lived a frugal life, and found that the clothes he brought, all he could wear this season was the blood-stained shirt and another round-neck T-shirt, the white shirt was probably not clean, as if he was going out to buy one.

He was embarrassed to trouble Anne again, so he decided to find a mall and buy one at random.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoqi didn't have to go far, because there was a shopping mall across the street from Harvard's gate, and there were many small shops along the street.

I found a clothing store casually and was told that Huaguo's UnionPay card could be used, which made Lu Xiaoqi very satisfied and decided to buy it here!

Because there is Harvard University opposite, and there is also the Massachusetts Institute of Technology nearby, so the main products of this store are some young and fashionable clothing brands, and it didn't take long for Lu Xiaoqi to pick one and try it, it fits well.

"You're wearing this suit!" The shopping guide is a middle-aged aunt with a slight London accent and a very kind smile.

"Thank you! Please help me pack! Lu Xiaoqi changed his clothes and handed them to her.

The middle-aged aunt packed her clothes and was about to take Lu Xiaoqi to check out, when she suddenly rushed into three strong men wearing hoods from outside the glass door, led by a tall white man with a pistol, followed by two black men, one with a dagger and the other with a baseball bat.

"Everyone! Get down! Hands up! The white man turned his gun and pointed at the customers and all the sales staff in the store, "You! Get all your money out and put it in this bag! Fast! You have 40 seconds to do it, or I'm going to have to punch a hole in your head! He ended up putting the gun to the cashier's head, and a black cloth bag was placed on the counter.

In an attempt to intimidate, the two black men in the back smashed several counters and smashed the cell phone of a fat customer, who tried to call 911.

Lu Xiaoqi also squatted down and raised his hands.

It was the first robbery he had witnessed in his life, and looking at the black barrel and the bright knife, he said that he was not afraid that it was fake.

Fortunately, he has experienced a lot of bizarre things in the past two days, which has made his nerves a lot thicker, so he is quite calm.

The two black men began to gather the customers and salespeople in the store, and the cashier shivered as he put the cash under the counter into the robbers' bags.

Except for the cashier, the rest of the people were gathered in a corner of the store. Lu Xiaoqi turned his head and glanced at it, there were a total of 17 people along with himself.

"Now it's your turn! Hand over all your cash and all your valuables! The black man with a baseball bat whispered.

No one dared to resist, and more than a dozen people were taken away in turn, such as cash and jewelry and watches.

It was Lu Xiaoqi's turn, and the black man smashed the floor twice with a baseball bat: "What about yours?" ”

"I don't have cash, I've just come to the U.S.!" Lu Xiaoqi blinked, he didn't know why, he was getting less and less nervous.

Of course the black man didn't believe it, he saw that Lu Xiaoqi didn't wear any jewelry and didn't pay cash, so he let him go like this, where was it so easy?

"Cunning yellow-skinned monkey!" The black man picked up the baseball bat and smashed it at Lu Xiaoqi's head, he wanted to let this Asian know that he knew how powerful.

This black man should have been fighting a lot, and the baseball bat made it very easy to get his hands on, and he shot quickly and hard.

Lu Xiaoqi was originally an ordinary person, since he was a child, he was bullied because he was an orphan, and he fought a lot, but the distance was too close, and this black man suddenly became troubled, and he didn't know martial arts, so he naturally couldn't dodge.

"Boom!"

This round stick smashed directly on Lu Xiaoqi's head.

The other squatting customers and clerks couldn't bear to look at it, and they all turned their heads and closed their eyes, and their hearts were even more frightened. In their opinion, such a heavy blow, even if it did not shatter the skull, would definitely bleed more than faint.

But they were surprised to hear the screams of the negroes:

“fu*k!”

I saw that the black bat fell to the ground, his right hand trembled, the tiger's mouth burst out, and the blood did not stop!
