Becoming a Phantom Thief From the World of American Comics

Chapter 113 Training the Mouthless Girl

"Comparative Encyclopedia of World Mainstream Language Vocabulary".

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

To put it simply, Russian, French, Spanish and other languages ​​have been added to the Chinese-English dictionary.

Moreover, there should be some common vocabulary in this book, and there will be no particularly rare content, otherwise the thickness of this book will be far more than that.

Even if you count the students who are studying language-related majors, it is estimated that few normal people will go to see this kind of thing.

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

Seeing the girl flipping through the super thick multilingual dictionary solemnly, Dean couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Forget it, it's none of my business what other people read. Keep a poker face and just pretend you didn't see it."

Dean shook his head inwardly, lowered his head and continued to read his book.

After a while, Dean suddenly felt a gaze looking at him, and it happened to come from the opposite side of him.

Dean raised his head strangely and looked at the girl sitting across from him. A moment of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes. Under Dean's gaze, he quickly lowered his head and read the huge dictionary again.

What's happening here?

Dean said he could not understand.

Since exchanging the gift of sensitive reaction in the system, Dean found that besides pure reaction speed, his observation ability and some other forms of senses have become more acute to a certain extent.

Even, now he can feel other people's 'sight' more intuitively, not just some kind of illusory and indescribable feeling.

At first, in Dean's explanation of the "sensitive response" in the system, there was a description of "substantially improving the body's response ability in a short period of time, and the longer it lasts, the more energy it consumes".

At one time, Dean thought that this talent might be a skill that was expensive and needed to be actively activated, but after a period of exploration, he began to understand the true usefulness of this talent—it could allow Dean to have the possibility to break through the limit of the human body's reaction ability !

The short-term substantial improvement is not the biggest advantage of 'sensitivity', let alone its only effect, because even in Dean's daily life, his reaction ability still shows a performance beyond the past, although the transcendence The magnitude is small, but it is a fact that Dean's reaction ability has 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 reaching the limit of human beings and even surpassing human beings!

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

Costs and gains are directly proportional.

All in all, the existence of "Sensitive Response" makes Dean's future full of new possibilities.

It's just that no matter how strong Dean's reaction is right now, he can't figure out what the girl on the other side wants to do.

Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Dean didn't pay much attention to the girl's sneak peek at him.

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

Being recognized on the road and asking for an autograph or a group photo is a common occurrence, so that Dean often has to make up before going out.

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

Now that I saw the real person, I was both happy and shy. I didn't know what to say, so I just 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 about it, read his book with peace of mind, and let the little fans appreciate his face...

What a joke, of course it is impossible.

Dean quickly realized that things were not that simple.

The girl opposite didn't seem to be one of her fans, because when Dean lowered his head, she sneaked another glance at Dean.

Dean raised her head, and she lowered her head again, over and over again, back and forth.

Occasionally, when he saw the last time, what Dean saw in the girl's eyes was not a look of admiration, but a look of wanting to ask for help.

There is still a bit of timidity hidden under the help-seeking eyes... Or is it vigilance?

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl should be wary of a stranger, but why do you keep staring at me?

You have something to say, why do you want to say it directly, do you have a mouth but don’t know how to speak?

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

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

Dean shook his head helplessly and asked.

Immediately, a look of anticipation flashed in the girl's eyes, and she subconsciously made several gestures to Dean, but she stopped halfway through.

Um?

Seeing these gestures, Dean's face froze slightly, those gestures seemed to be sign language!

Why does this girl keep silent? After seeing her sign language, Dean knew it.

Dean had learned some sign language before. Although he was not very proficient, he could barely understand what the girl meant.

"May I ask you a few questions? There are a few words..."

It's unclear what happened next, because the girl stopped and continued to gesture.

"What do you want to ask, let me see."

At this time, Dean also signed sign language to the girl. His fingers were very flexible. Unfortunately, he had never used sign language to communicate with others before, so he did it a little slowly.

However, before Dean could finish all the hand gestures, the girl made a sign language of thanks with a look of surprise.

The girl moved to the place next to Dean, took the "Comparative Encyclopedia of Vocabulary in the World's Main Languages", and pointed out a few words that were not so obscure.

And it's an English word, neither French nor Russian nor Spanish.

Dean's face froze again. If he remembered correctly, any elementary school student who could read words like this should be able to understand it, but the girl in front of him said that she couldn't understand the meaning of the words.

Either, she hasn't attended a serious class since the first day of school, or, she hasn't been to school...

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

"Did you come here often before? Who will help you when you encounter problems you don't understand?"

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

Then she suddenly rummaged through the dictionary, found the word librarian, pointed it out to Dean, then rummaged again, and finally pointed to an English word.

Barbara.

Taken together, it is——

Librarian Barbara.
