Chapter Seventy-Six: A Little Strength

Rejecting Peggy's retention, Jian Mingyue went out to catch the military vehicle and returned to New York City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info She wanted to take a train across the United States, reach the West Coast, and then take a boat back to that ancient country in the East. But when I went to buy a train ticket, I found that I didn't have much money in my pocket.

After entering this dungeon, except for the first time when she robbed the clothing store and got a little dollar, the rest of the time she either followed Howard or lived in the barracks, and she didn't need to spend money at all, so she didn't try to get money. Now she has to buy a train ticket, only to find that she has not much money left after the train ticket, and then counting the food, drink and Lazar, when she arrives on the West Coast, she will have no money to buy a ferry ticket.

What if you don't have money? Jian Mingyue instantly thought of two ways, first, to find Howard to make a relationship; Second, find another rich man to steal.

If it is convenient to talk about money, of course, it is the second way, as long as she steals it, she will leave, and with the means of solving cases in this era, she will not be found at all. But thinking that he was about to leave, maybe he didn't have a chance to meet Howard, so he had to say goodbye to him. So she changed her mind, hailed a taxi, and went straight to Howard's house.

Howard was still busy with his research at this time and was not at home at all. But of course, he had a housekeeper and a maid at home, and he knew Jian Mingyue, a person who had lived here for a few days, so he let her in and called Howard to inform him. It's a pity that Howard couldn't take care of her at all, so he asked the housekeeper to give the phone to Jian Mingyue, and they talked directly.

As soon as Jian Mingyue took the phone, she heard Howard say over there: "Hey, Jane, I heard that they want to pull you into the army, didn't you agree?" If you don't agree, forget it, anyway, you are a lady, even if you have strong combat power, you are still a lady, not suitable for the battlefield. If you don't have anywhere to go, stay at my house for the time being, I'm too busy to entertain you, so you can have fun on your own. Okay, I'm going to work, we'll talk about it later. ā€

Jian Mingyue didn't say a word, Howard was about to put the phone away, she hurriedly said, "Howard, don't hang up the phone, I have something to tell you." ā€

Howard had no choice but to ask, "What's so in such a hurry?" Can't you wait for me to finish this time? ā€

Jian Mingyue said directly: "I'm going back to China, and I'm here to say goodbye to you." By the way, I want to borrow some money from you, I don't have the money to buy a ticket back home. ā€

Howard exclaimed, "What? Are you leaving? Why? Don't go anywhere at home, I'll go back right away!" ā€

Jian Mingyue shrugged with the microphone, this Howard still put the phone away. However, as soon as he heard that Jian Mingyue was leaving, he would come back immediately, which showed that he still regarded her as a friend, and it seemed that he had to help him once.

Not long after, there was a screeching sound of brakes that could be heard in the house, and then Howard hurriedly ran in, saw Jian Mingyue sitting by the window reading a book, and complained when he came up: "Jane, why do you want to leave suddenly?" Isn't it good to stay here? ā€

Jian Mingyue smiled: "Today Peggy reminded me that my country is still being invaded, and my people are being ravaged by the Japanese-Ben fascists, since I have super combat effectiveness, how can I turn a blind eye?" So I have to go back. ā€

Howard said strangely: "Japan's invasion of your China didn't just start, you didn't go back before, and now you want to go back, why?" ā€

This question made Jian Mingyue frown, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I wasn't here before, but now I'm here." ā€

Howard said helplessly, "What do you mean?" Can you say something I understand? ā€

Jian Mingyue looked at him and said, "Do you believe in the theory of parallel time and space?" Haven't you always been curious about my origins and can't find any clues about my existence? Because I'm from another plane, not native to this world. ā€

Howard was dumbfounded, "I'm talking to you seriously, don't joke, okay?" ā€

Jian Mingyue sighed and shook her head, "You think I'm joking?" You're really not curious about the mysteries in me at all? …… Well, that's a bit of an ambiguity, I mean, aren't you curious where I put the gold you gave me? Peggy, they must have noticed this, and they didn't tell you about it? ā€

Howard frowned and thought about it for a moment before he said, "They seem to have said it, but I didn't care. I'm doing research right now, and the rest ......."

Seeing him shrug innocently, Jian Mingyue said helplessly: "Okay, I'll let you see my skills again." Please note that I have the book in my hand. ā€

Then, Howard watched as the book that Jian Mingyue held in his hand suddenly disappeared! This is certainly not magic, because no matter how fast the magic trick is, it must have someone to distract people before it can do it. But just now he didn't even blink an eye, and the book was gone! He hurriedly grabbed Jian Mingyue's hand and looked back and forth, and asked, "How did you do it?" What about the book? ā€

Jian Mingyue withdrew her hand and said, "Look, don't blink." As he spoke, a book suddenly appeared in his empty hand.

Howard cried out, "Oh my God! What's going on? Are you a wizard? ā€

Jian Mingyue said: "Almost, in our country, people like me are called 'monks'. Now, do you believe I'm from a parallel world? ā€

Howard said in a trance: "Wait, wait, your statement is too unacceptable, you let me think about it." ā€

After a while, Howard said, "It's hard to believe, but I'm sure you're not lying to me. So, why are you telling me this? ā€

Jian Mingyue said solemnly: "The reason why I am telling you this is to make you believe that I have some abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. In addition to storing books in another space, I also have the ability to foresee. For example, your fate will be that your son will be killed by the men of Hydra along with your wife when your son is still very young. ā€

Howard was taken aback, "What did you say?" You say I'll have a wife and a son? I always thought that I would not start a family, and if I had a wife, wouldn't I have to give up the countless other beauties who admired me? ā€

Jian Mingyue's face darkened, and she said, "Isn't that the point?" The point is that you will die of murder! ā€

Howard chuckled, "I beg your pardon, it's not that I don't believe you, but I think it's ridiculous." You say I was killed by Hydra? But do you know the current situation? The Germans were losing ground under our blows, and it won't be long before they were completely finished. Although the hydra is very powerful, it cannot escape the fate of destruction. And when I was killed, I actually had a son, how many years after that? How could there still be a hydra at that time? ā€

Jian Mingyue shook her head and said, "You underestimate Hydra too much." Do you know why they're called Hydra? They have a slogan that says cut off one head and grow two heads. In other words, their vitality is extremely tenacious, and as long as there is one fish that slips through the net, they can develop again. Forget it, I'm not forcing you to believe it. I'm reminding you for the sake of our friendship, whether I listen to you or not. Lend me a little buck, I'm leaving. ā€

Howard sighed, "You're still leaving?" Really don't think about it anymore? ā€

Jian Mingyue shook her head and didn't speak, Howard sighed again and said, "Okay, since you must go, I won't keep you." I don't have cash now, so I'll write you a check and you can go to the bank and withdraw the cash yourself. ā€

As he spoke, Howard took out his checkbook, signed one, tore it out and handed it to Jian Mingyue. Jian Mingyue took it and saw that it was a check for $10,000. In this era, the dollar is much more valuable than in modern times, and 10,000 dollars is worth all the property of a middle-class family, and Jian Mingyue just wants to borrow some money for the journey. But Jian Mingyue knew that Howard was a big money, so she didn't mean it, she just raised the check and said, "Thank you, I hope we will see you again." ā€

Jian Mingyue was going to cash the check, and Howard was going back to work, so the two simply went out together, and Howard sent Jian Mingyue to the bank before leaving. After Jian Mingyue exchanged the check for cash, she also went directly to the train station, bought a ticket and went straight to San Francisco.

It takes several days to travel across the United States by train, passing through many cities along the way. After stopping at a station in an unknown city, a man with the same yellow skin and black eyes came to Jian Mingyue and tentatively asked in Chinese: "Hello, are you Chinese?" ā€

Jian Mingyue looked up and found that this was a very handsome young man, tall and big, but he also had a gentle and elegant temperament, which made people feel good at first sight. When she met her compatriots in a foreign country, Jian Mingyue inevitably felt a sense of closeness, and said with a smile: "I am Chinese. ā€

The young man was overjoyed and said, "Great, I didn't expect to meet my compatriots on the train, it's really fate." My name is Jiang Shuhan, what's your name? ā€

Jian Mingyue also reported his name and asked him to sit down. Jiang Shuhan was also polite, sat opposite her, and said, "I am an international student at Harvard University, and I am going to visit relatives in San Francisco. What do you do? ā€

Jiang Shuhan is very cheerful and talkative, and has very good conversation skills, and quickly became familiar with Jian Mingyue. The two talked about the world, but they relieved the loneliness of the journey.

In the evening, the two went back to the private room to rest, and made an appointment before parting, and they would meet here tomorrow. The next day, the two got along for another day, and under Jiang Shuhan's deliberate closeness, they had become good friends who talked about everything. Of course, this is just Jiang Shuhan's own opinion, but Jian Mingyue always feels that something is wrong.

Sure enough, on the third day, Jiang Shuhan suddenly said that he wanted to make a magic trick for Jian Mingyue, and then took out a pocket watch and dangled it in front of Jian Mingyue. This made Jian Mingyue immediately alert, Nima is a hypnotic routine, what does this kid want to do?

The technique of hypnosis is still very mysterious in this era, and most people do not understand it at all. But Jian Mingyue is a modern person who has exploded knowledge, how can he not know this thing? Moreover, Jian Mingyue is taking the route of a magician, and her spiritual attributes are very high, how can ordinary people be hypnotized? But she wanted to see what this guy wanted to do, so she simply pretended to be a hit, and her expression became sluggish.
