I used to believe in science

Chapter 2 Science and Technology 02

Rosie looked away from her phone as they walked down the stairs with them. "I have a friend who is a professor here... so I might have to pay a visit, will you come with me or go back first?"

"Actually, I think we can go to the library for a while. I heard that the George Washington University library has a lot of books." Reid and Antoinette glanced at each other, maybe the brain circuits of geniuses can be on the same channel , they quickly reached a consensus and gave Rossi an answer.

"Okay." Rossi was a little hesitant. He looked back and forth at the two children, then nodded clearly, expressing silently that he couldn't chat with nerds.

As soon as Rhett arrived at the library, he went straight to the philosophy area upstairs. Antoinette had heard him say that he was still studying for his degree in philosophy, but she herself didn't call at all about this, so she didn't follow him upstairs, but just in the The literature area on the first floor turned around.Rosie said she wouldn't be longer than two hours, so a novella would be a good choice, say Agatha.

She walked across the bookshelves to find her purpose, but Agatha's series was on the top row, and she stretched out her arm to find that it was a little short.So she tiptoed to try again.

But this time, she reached out, and before her fingertips touched the spine, a large hand covered the Silent Witness.This made her a little embarrassed, and she immediately moved the search an inch to the side and placed it on Murder on the Nile, while at the same time her hand froze and let go of the book.

"I thought you wanted this book," said a familiar voice behind her.

Antoinette turned around quickly, and the tall man was standing behind her. After she turned around, they were very close, so Netty had to take a step back and stick to the bookshelf.That person they met and chatted with just now, was the only person who spoke to her in the lecture theater just now.And the latter changed the book she was holding to her left hand when she looked at him, and then stretched out her free right hand, "Meet you again, Miss Stark."

"Mr. Rogers." Antoinette looked at the other's outstretched hand but didn't take it. "We can't be so polite every time we meet, can we?"

"You're right." The other party lowered his head and smiled, which Antoinette took as his embarrassment.

She just caught a glimpse of the other party holding a book of the Lord of the Rings, so she changed the subject, "It's pretty good, if you like Western Fantasy, try Dragonlance Chronicles or A Song of Ice and Fire."

"Thank you." Steve looked at the book in his hand and nodded.

Steve got her the Silent Witness anyway, and they went to find a place.There were almost no vacancies on the first floor. They found two seats opposite a table in the corner, and Antoinette quickly entered the state after opening the book.She didn't realize that the other party's progress was slow until she turned over twenty pages. She raised her head just in time to see the other party lowered her head, so she lowered her voice and pointed out gently, "Steve, haven't you finished a page yet?"

"It's a little... jerky."

"Oh." She nodded to express her understanding. The language style of the Lord of the Rings is not cool to some people. "If you just want to get started, the movies in this series are not bad, although there is a gap compared with the original."

"Thank you."

She saw Steve turned a page, so she lowered her head again, but when she turned to the next page, the voice from the opposite side sounded again, of course it was lowered, full of doubts, "Did you really read it?" ?”

Anthony immediately understood the meaning of the other party. This is not the first time people have asked this question, "A colleague of mine reads 1 words a minute, so mine is not a big deal." She turned the page again.

"The doctor who gave a speech in the lecture hall just now?"

"Yes." Antoinette nodded before a commotion interrupted their conversation.

Almost everyone looked in the direction of the commotion. At the door, there were three students, two girls and one boy. One of the girls pushed the boy to the ground and slapped the other lady, then turned and left.

Antoinette saw Steve's mouth twitching out of the corner of her eye, so she smiled and leaned forward to get as close to him as possible. "It's not as simple as you think."

Sure enough, Steve turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

"Which one do you think is the third party?"

"That girl?" Steve glanced at the girl standing there, guessing with the most common judgment.

"No, he is." Netty pointed to the boy on the ground. When Steve looked shocked, she nodded to the two people and explained, "That girl slapped a girl, but pushed the boy? You Usually don't challenge someone who is stronger than you, so you are more angry with him, women usually blame adultery more on the outside world, that's why they forgive cheating husbands for hating mistresses more easily, and this girl, she keeps watching It has a more personal emotion in it." Under Steve's thoughtful eyes, Antoinette leaned back in the chair "So either they're best friends or lovers, pick one."

"...Wow." Steve was silent for a long time and then blinked to reflect on this.

Antoinette was amused by this, and she nodded to him. "Yeah, the world is amazing."

"Have you always been this... sharp in your line of work?"

Antoinette felt that this was definitely not what he meant, but she still answered, "We don't always try to discern something...usually I choose to be blind." Her phone vibrated at this moment , A text message came from Erosi, telling her that things over there are ready and they can leave. She turned her head and saw that Rhett had walked to the door and was looking in her direction. After meeting her eyes, he waved Waved, so she waved back, stood up and said goodbye to the person sitting opposite, "I have to go."

"Okay." Steve nodded too, but stopped her before she stood up and left, pointing to the novel she left on the table "Aren't you going to finish it?"

"I've read the ending." Antoinette smiled back at him.

But immediately her smile froze, because in her direction, she was facing the window of the library, watching a person fall from upstairs.The picture stayed in her eyes for less than a second, and before her brain had time to react to what happened, she heard a girl screaming outside.

Antoinette ran out subconsciously.Rhett obviously also heard the scream, and when he saw her passing him quickly, he quickly followed. He wanted to ask what happened, but immediately, the one lying on the square in front of the side door of the library The body and the bright red that flowed all over the ground said everything.

He and Antoinette walked over and turned the body over.Reid wanted to test the other's pulse, but was startled by the pen poking into the neck of that body.And Antoinette froze when he saw the girl's face.

This girl is one of the girls who caused the riot in the library just now. She quickly raised her head and looked upstairs in the library. From the distance of the blood spatter, it can be roughly inferred that the girl fell from the fourth floor. Just in time to leave.

Antoinette thought so, and ran back to the library quickly after Rhett took over and pressed the wound. At the door, she bumped into Steve who came out to see what happened.
