I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 638 The Future Chief of Intelligence!

It started snowing again outside the restaurant.

The restaurant was unusually quiet.

The weather made this usually bustling restaurant much quieter.

In the huge restaurant, apart from the waiters and cashiers, there were only two tables of customers.

Moreover, it's all the same person.

Liu Jin asked the waiter to bring over a plate of bacon and handed it to Julie and Adrian. However, due to the ancient genes ingrained in their bones, the Chinese rural dogs did not open their mouths, but waited until Liu Jin threw the bacon on the ground before swallowing it whole.

Liu Jin rubbed his large head, sat down at the dining table, and opened the book in his hand.

It's a novel by Mark Twain; he's been a bit addicted to it lately.

"Hey, what kind of dogs are they?"

A woman's voice came from inside.

Liu Jin looked up and saw a woman sitting two tables away. She looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with black hair, brown skin, and very delicate features.

"Zhonghua Tu Gou" doesn't mean "rustic" or "uncultured," but rather "native dog."

"Oh ho, that's very good."

"It shouldn't be called 'well-behaved,' but rather 'well-mannered and polite.' This is a good dog carefully selected by our Chinese ancestors."

"Haha, that's exactly what I meant."

Liu Jin noticed that she had finished eating and was enjoying her post-meal coffee.

There was also a book on the table.

However, the distance was a bit far, and Liu Jin couldn't quite make out what kind of book it was.

"Upanishads, scriptures concerning Hinduism."

Perhaps noticing that Liu Jin's gaze lingered on the book for a moment, the woman didn't flinch, picked up the book, and shook it.

"never heard of that."

"Yes, it's a very interesting classic that talks about Hindu doctrines."

Are you interested in Hinduism?

"Yes, I am preparing to formally join this sect."

Liu Jin was somewhat surprised.

Hinduism is the world's third largest religion, with over 10 billion followers.

It is second only to Christianity and Islam.

Its distribution is mainly concentrated in Asia, especially South Asia and Southeast Asia.

When Liu Jin was studying at the University of Toulouse II, he read some books about Hinduism, so he had a general understanding of it.

However, he does not agree with the so-called 'third largest' sect.

India has a large population and a caste system.

Hinduism worships the Trinity, practices the four periods of time, upholds the caste system, and promotes the concept of reincarnation...

To put it bluntly, it's a religion that exists to maintain its own ruling interests; otherwise, how could those Brahmins be so high and mighty?

More than 10 billion believers?
India itself has a population of over one billion.

In fact, there is little persuasiveness, but driven by certain forces in the West, Hinduism is even more famous than Buddhism in China.

After all, Buddhism has only about 300 million followers.

God knows how those experts came up with the data.

"Why look at that stuff? You'd be better off reading some Buddhist texts."

The so-called scriptures of Hinduism are mostly lies fabricated by high castes to lull low castes into complacency.

They advocate non-violence and non-harming...

To put it bluntly, it's about fearing violent resistance from lower-caste groups, which could ultimately overthrow their privileged position.

The woman picked up a book and brought over a cup of coffee.

Hey!
This girl is quite tall.

Roughly estimated, 178-180 cm.

The main problem was that she was wearing high heels, making it difficult for Liu Jin to make an accurate judgment.

She sat down opposite Liu Jin.

"Tursi Gabad".

"Liu Jin, Amos Liu Jin, is a Chinese."

"Oh, you're that author?"

"Yes!"

I have read your book, The Old Man and the Sea.

Also, "The Eye of the Ferocious Beast" is very interesting. I heard Spielberg is filming it, is that true?

"Yes, but I'm not sure about his progress."

"You don't care at all?"

"Haha, I've already given him the adaptation rights. How he creates it is up to him."

"You have a big heart."

Liu Jin chuckled.

"Actually, I have no interest in Hinduism."

However, my advisor believes I should study this further, as it would be helpful for my future development.

"Your mentor?"

“Mr. Daniel Akaka is a senator from Hawaii.”

I came to New York with him... but after we arrived, he went off to have some fun by himself, leaving me behind. I was so bored in the hotel that I started wandering around, and that's how this heavy snow came about.

"Haha, then you're in trouble."

"What do you mean?"

"When I went out, I checked the weather forecast, which said it would continue to snow tonight."

Upon hearing this, Tursi frowned slightly.

You know what, she looks really good when she frowns.

Mainly because her facial features are very delicate.

Moreover, her skin is very smooth, unlike some American girls who look beautiful from afar but have abundant hair and large pores up close.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Taylor Swift.

In his early past life, Liu Jin really liked Taylor.

However, during one concert, probably due to the angle and lighting, the fine hairs on her arms were clearly visible.

It's very long and very dense!
After that, his interest in Taylor waned considerably.

The American people, especially those of Anglo-Saxon descent, all have this problem.

It's not just Taylor Swift; Nicole Kidman is another example.

But Naomi looks much better; her skin is much smoother.

"Mark Twain?"

Tursi's voice brought Liu Jin back to his senses.

"Are you studying American literature?"

"Not really, it's just that I've suddenly developed a bit of interest recently."

At this moment, the waiter brought Liu Jin's meal and placed it on the table.

He joked, "Ladies, be careful of this guy. Don't be attracted to him. Two beauties have already fallen into the abyss."

"Adam, give me back my tip."

"Haha, that won't do. If the tip goes into Adam's pocket, it's Adam's money."

The waiter smiled and walked away. He wasn't trying to embarrass Liu Jin; it was just that after getting to know Liu Jin, he often teased him, and Liu Jin had gotten used to it.

"American literature? You might as well take a look at the works of Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald."

After all, he lived closer to our time.

"It's only been thirty years."

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, best known for works such as The Great Gatsby and This Side of Paradise.

Mark Twain died in 1910, and this guy died in 1940.

Yes, that's the problem of insufficient foundation.

After all, America's history is only that long.

"I've read The Great Gatsby, but to be honest, I don't really understand it."

Perhaps it's due to cultural differences between East and West, but some of America's works seem a bit inexplicable to me.

"for example?"

"for example?"

Liu Jin thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Neutral."

Upon hearing this, Tursi couldn't help but chuckle.

But Liu Jin found her pleasing to the eye...

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what do you do for a living?"

"Um... I used to work in the medical field in YLK, and now I'm an assistant."

Liu Jin was stunned.

YLK?

A war zone!
"Red Cross?"

"Not really."

"Forehead!"

Liu Jin understood.

Military doctor!

No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when she walked over just now.

It's a kind of temperament that only people who have served in the military possess.

However, Liu Jin did not distance himself from Tulsi because of this; instead, he talked to Tulsi about Fitzgerald's works.

It's clear that she has a high level of literary cultivation.

When it comes to America's famous writers, they have a lot to say.

From Uncle Tom's Cabin to the Scarlet Letter.

From Mark Twain's Million Pound Note to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

"I also love your book 'Nemo,' it's very childlike yet philosophical, I bought two sets..."

Speaking of which, when will you write another book like that?

"Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame felt too distant to me; I didn't quite understand them."

"Next year, I will write another one."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Liu Jin enjoyed the meal very much.

However, just as he was finishing his meal, Tulsi received a phone call.

I didn't hear what was said on the phone, but I could tell that Tulsi's expression had turned a little grim.

"Who's calling?"

"My husband's phone call."

"you are married?"

"Is it weird?"

Liu Jin feigned disappointment and said, "I'm just a little down."

"Hehehe, you really know how to talk. Aren't you afraid that Eva and Alizee will find out?"

You know them?

"How could I not know? There are news reports about you every day..."

"It's all nonsense."

"Alright, I should go now!"

Tours extended his hand and laughed, "China's French Casanova."

"I hope to have the opportunity to meet you again."

"Hehe, I think it will be a bit difficult."

"why?"

"I'm going to study at the Military Academy of Alabama next year, so I guess it will be hard to see you again."

"Oh, that's a real shame."

Tursi stood up and shook hands with Liu Jin.

She turned and walked out, but after walking halfway, she turned back.

"Could I leave you my contact information?"

"what?"

Liu Jin was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening. He took out a business card from his pocket and wrote down his French number on it.

"I'll be returning to France next year after my studies abroad ends. This is my phone number in France."

"Thank you!"

She smiled, turned around, and left.

"Hey, aren't you going to give me your contact information?"

Tursi didn't stop; instead, he quickened his pace and walked out, waving at Liu Jin without turning his head.

Liu Jin sat in the restaurant and watched her walk to a Hummer parked by the roadside and get in.

Then, it roared away and disappeared into the wind and snow.

interesting!
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly, she noticed that Tulsi's Upanishad was on the table, and he hadn't taken it with him.

I took it, opened the cover, and there was a photograph inside.

It's a photo of Tulsi!
She was dressed in military uniform, standing amidst ruins, holding a gun in her hand.

Ok?
Liu Jin's eyes flashed.

He realized that the photo looked familiar; where had he seen it before?

He rarely paid attention to YLK battlegrounds, so this was 100% the first time he had seen this photo.

But why does it look so familiar?

Slow!

Tulsi Gabad?

Liu Jin picked up the photo and looked at it carefully for a few more moments.

I really want to know who you are!
Tulsi Gabbard, future Director of National Intelligence of Downs?

Yes, it's you...

Liu Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He realized that he seemed to have come into contact with some extraordinary person!
