Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Comparative Encyclopedia of Vocabulary of the World's Mainstream Languages".

As the name suggests, this is a dictionary that covers several of the most widely used languages ​​in the world and compares the vocabulary of different languages.

To put it simply, it means adding Russian, French, Spanish and other languages ​​to the Chinese-English dictionary.

Moreover, this book should contain common words, and there should be no particularly rare content. Otherwise, the book would be much thicker than that.

Even if you include students who are studying language-related majors, it is estimated that few normal people will look at this kind of thing.

"Do girls these days like to read this kind of... books?"

Seeing the girl flipping through the thick multi-lingual dictionary solemnly, Dean couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Forget it, it's none of my business what others read. Just keep your poker face and pretend you didn't see it."

Dean shook his head inwardly, lowered his head and continued reading his book.

After a while, Dean suddenly felt a gaze looking at him, and it came from exactly opposite him.

Dean raised his head strangely and looked at the girl sitting opposite. A moment of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head under Dean's gaze and started reading the huge dictionary again.

What's happening here?

Dean said he couldn't understand.

Since redeeming the sensitive reaction talent in the system, Dean has found that in addition to simple reaction speed, his observation and other forms of senses have become sharper to a certain extent.

In fact, he can now feel the 'sight' of others more intuitively, instead of just some vague and indescribable feeling.

Initially, when Dean saw the explanation of 'sensitive response' in the system, there was a description of "significantly improving the human body's response ability in a short period of time, and the longer it lasts, the greater the energy consumption."

For a time, Dean thought that this talent might be a skill that consumed a lot of money and needed to be activated actively. But after a period of exploration, he began to understand the true use of this talent - it gave Dean the possibility to break through the limits of the human body's reaction ability. !

A substantial improvement in a short period of time is not the biggest advantage of 'sensitive response', nor is it its only effect, because even in Dean's daily life, his reaction ability still shows that it is beyond previous performance, even though it is beyond The amplitude is small, but it is true that Dean's reflexes have been slowly improving.

In other words, through continuous training and the passage of time, the reaction speed of Dean's brain and body will become faster and faster, until it reaches the limit of human beings or even surpasses human beings!

In contrast, the effect of greatly improving reaction ability in a short period of time is more like the adrenaline surge reaction that people will experience under special circumstances. A large amount of physical exertion is used in exchange for a short-term reaction that far exceeds human limits. force.

Cost and income are directly proportional.

All in all, the existence of 'sensitive response' makes Dean's future full of new possibilities.

However, no matter how strong Dean's reflexes were at the moment, he still couldn't figure out what the girl opposite wanted to do.

In line with the principle of doing more than doing less, Dean didn't pay too much attention to the girl peeking at him.

After all, he was considered one of Gotham's most talented magicians back then, and he was so handsome, so he naturally attracted a large number of fans.

Being recognized on the street and asked for autographs or photos was a common occurrence, so much so that Dean often had to put on makeup before going out.

For a young girl like the opposite, it is absolutely normal for her to fall in love with Dean Thaston.

Now that I saw the real person, I felt happy and shy at the same time. I didn’t know what to say. I only dared to take a sneak peek. It’s completely understandable!

Dean is very self-aware of this.

Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment for both parties, Dean chose to forget the matter and read his book peacefully, letting his little fans appreciate his appearance...

Are you kidding? Of course it's impossible.

Dean soon realized that things were not simple.

The girl opposite didn't seem to be one of his fans, because after Dean lowered his head, she glanced at Dean secretly.

Dean raised his head, and she lowered it again, over and over again.

Occasionally looking at each other, Dean saw in the girl's eyes not a look of admiration, but a look that wanted to ask for help.

There is still a bit of timidity hidden under the eyes asking for help...or should I say vigilance?

A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old should be wary of strangers, but why are you always looking at me?

If you have something to say, just say it directly. You have a mouth but don’t know how to speak?

I know I'm handsome, but I shouldn't be so handsome that people dare not speak, right?

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Dean shook his head helplessly and asked.

Suddenly, a look of expectation flashed in the girl's eyes, and she subconsciously made a few gestures to Dean, but she suddenly stopped her hand halfway through.

Ok?

Dean's face froze slightly when he saw these gestures. Those gestures seemed to be sign language!

Why hasn't this girl spoken? After seeing her sign language, Dean knew better.

Dean had learned some sign language before, and although he wasn't very proficient, he could barely understand what the girl meant.

"Can I ask you a few questions? A few words..."

What happened next was unclear because the girl stopped making gestures.

"What do you want to ask? Let me take a look."

At this time, Dean also started signing to the girl. His fingers were very nimble, but unfortunately he had never used sign language to communicate with others before, so he was a little slow.

However, before Dean could complete all the gestures, the girl expressed her gratitude in sign language with a look of surprise on her face.

The girl moved to the position next to Dean, took the "Comparative Vocabulary Encyclopedia of the World's Mainstream Languages", and then pointed at a few words on it that were not so obscure.

And it's an English word, not French, not Russian, not even Spanish.

Dean's face hardened again. If he remembered correctly, any primary school student who could read words like this should be able to understand words like this. However, the girl in front of him said that she could not understand the meaning of the words.

Either, it’s because she hasn’t attended classes seriously since the first day of school, or, it’s because she hasn’t been to school...

After a brief explanation, Dean curiously made a few signs and asked.

"Have you come here often before? Who will help you if you encounter a problem that you don't understand?"

The girl nodded first, indicating that she did come to the library often, then paused, tilting her head and thinking for a while.

Then she suddenly rummaged through the dictionary, found the word librarian, pointed it to Dean, then continued rummaging, finally pointing to an English word.

Barbara.

Taken together, it’s——

Librarian Barbara.
