Chapter 38 Change a person

Liu Yanzhi ignored Guan Lu, and the woman started to offend again. He walked towards the door, but Guan Lu rushed over and opened her hands to stop him: "You can't kill him."

"Don't be a woman's kindness." Liu Yanzhi tried to go around, and Guan Lu grabbed the door frame tightly, and her fingers turned white.

"George and Linda get up tomorrow and find that their son dies in the garage. Have you ever thought about their mood?" Guan Lu said in a low voice.

Liu Yanzhi knew that George had been stationed in Taiwan and might know some Chinese. The American houses had a thin structure and were not soundproof, so he lowered his voice and said, "This is our mission. We are not here to travel, but to save the world. You can't give up the mission just because you took someone's car and ate someone's meal. You can tell whether it's more important, one life or billions of lives."

Guan Lu was also very serious: "We cannot repay kindness and not say anything, nor can we punish others for the mistakes that others have made. Samuel Fox is an innocent man, a vibrant young man, and his future has countless possibilities, and may not really embark on the road to extinction of the world. What is our mission? Have you ever thought about?"

"We are here to kill Samuel Fox, like the Terminator, to save the world by squeezing danger before he causes harm."

"No, you only have the last sentence that is correct. We are here to save the world, but we don't have to kill someone. We can change him, guide him, educate him..."

"Come on." Liu Yanzhi interrupted Guan Lu's persuasion impatiently, "Why did you have that effort? You have strangled all the time. It's simple, crude and efficient. We can go back after completing the task. You will have troubles when you have a lot of trouble."

"If you want to kill him, just step over me." Guan Lu did not compromise.

Before he finished speaking, Guan Lu felt that she had flew up. Somehow, she was picked up by Liu Yanzhi and threw it on the bed. She quickly got up and chased downstairs. The lights downstairs had gone out. She vaguely saw the lights in the crack of the garage door, and Liu Yanzhi was standing at the door.

Guan Lu walked over barefoot with her feet down the stairs and walked over carefully. She didn't know what Liu Yan was thinking, but when she looked at him, she didn't seem to have murderous aura.

Liu Yan pushed open the door. Samuel looked back, said hello, and continued to typing on the keyboard. He was using an Apple computer, which was very simple and square, and was completely different from the computer I remembered.

"Jobs is a great person." Liu Yanzhi said, pulling a chair and sitting down behind the young Samuel.

"Yeah, he's a good scientist," Samuel replied, continuing to focus on computer operations.

Liu Yanzhi reached into his pocket, and Guan Lu's heart hanged, but when he saw that what he took out was not a rope but a pack of cigarettes, he felt relieved.

"Do you smoke?" Liu Yanzhi handed the cigarette to Samuel.

"Thank you, I like this more." Samuel smiled sly and took out the cigarette he had rolled out from the drawer. Liu Yanzhi didn't recognize what it was, but Guan Lu knew that this was marijuana, a soft drug. If a young man didn't smoke some marijuana, he would be sorry for his youth. Samuel has always been a rebellious guy, and it was not surprising that he smoked marijuana at home.

"Try it?" Samuel handed the marijuana to Liu Yanzhi, who did not refuse and urged it.

Samuel was very happy: "You are from China?"

"Yes, we come from China and from the future." Liu Yanzhi replied.

"Oh, when did you come from? 2000?" Samuel obviously didn't take it seriously. "I know a TV series, "Time Tunnel", is a movie from the 1960s, which is very interesting."

"To be precise, it was September 22, 2017." Liu Yanzhi took a sip of marijuana and sucked the clouds and mist. "We are here to remind you, because you will be a great person in the future, just like Jobs, or like Newton and Einstein."

Samuel stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at him with interest: "It's a very interesting story. I think I should listen carefully. Can I know the winning numbers for the next lottery?"

Liu Yanzhi turned around and said, "Come in, my English level is not enough to explain the matter clearly. You can translate it."

Guan Lu walked in and pulled a chair to sit down. She was a little excited and nervous. She knew that her persistence was directly suffered by Liu Yan, and at least she would not kill Samuel immediately.

"Dr. Guan, our Samuel Fox will become an expert in computer science, right?" Liu Yanzhi hinted.

Guan Lu had a high IQ, and immediately understood and nodded: "Yes, a great expert, a great man who changed the world."

The second half was handed over to Guan Lu. She directly put Bill Gates' experience on Samuel, and she was so scattered that Samuel was stunned. Although he majored in biology in college, he was always interested in computers. Guan Lu's description opened a door for him, a door to the future world. Everything she said was so reasonable and forward-looking. What is the window system, graphical user interface, desktop operating system, and the future is slowly outlining a clear picture in his mind.

"Wait, I'm going to take a note." Samuel hurriedly took the paper and pen and wrote quickly. After a while, he suddenly looked up and said, "So, why are you coming to me?"

Liu Yanzhi said, "I have said just now. We are here to remind you that we have many tasks. Not only you, but I also have to go to Michigan to find a little guy named Larry Page."

"So, how can I believe what you said is true?" Samuel was obviously not a person who could fool around with just one or two words.

Liu Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "You have enough time to verify it. Remember, it's October 1984, and the next president is still Ronald Reagan. After his term expires, a guy named George Bush will be the president. The second year he is elected, there will be a war in the Middle East. After President Bush's re-elected two terms, he was Clinton from Arkansas and became the commander of the United States' armed forces. After Clinton, he will be President Bush, but Bush Jr., the son of Bush. In the future, there may be a black man elected as the president of the United States."

Samuel was stunned. He intuitively thought that what this person said was true.

"God, are you really from the future?" Samuel murmured, "Who are you?"

"We are time travelers." Liu Yan replied straight, looking back at Guan Lu, "We are people racing against time."

"Can you tell me more?" Samuel begged, "I want to know what my future is like, like...who will I marry?"

Guan Lu coughed dryly and said, "Samuel, don't you think it's better to solve the mystery yourself? We shouldn't say too much or too specific about other things. This will be convenient for you, but it is not fair to others."

When she said this, she said sorry to Bill Gates.

Samuel nodded: "It makes sense, you have said enough."

...

The next morning, Old George found at the dining table that his son was particularly enthusiastic about the two Chinese guests and seemed to have become good friends. He was very happy about this.

Liu Yanzhi was eating bacon fried eggs, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. In fact, he could not kill innocent people, and it would be better to solve the problem without killing people.

Guan Lu was also very happy because she saved a family and the world.

After breakfast, the two guests said goodbye, and Samuel offered to drive to see him off. He drove a second-hand Beetle and sent Liu Yanzhi and Guan Lu to Manhattan.

"There is an old saying in China that you will be farewell after a thousand miles away. Samuel, go back, stick to your ideals and don't waver, you will become a big shot that changes the world." Liu Yanzhi patted the young man's shoulder and said earnestly.

"I will." Samuel was relaxed, "Thank you for pointing me in the direction, it's very important to me."

"Goodbye, we will see you again." Liu Yanzhi shook hands with Samuel, and Guan Lu stepped forward and hugged her former mentor. At this moment, she was basically sure that Samuel would not become her mentor in the future.

Samuel drove away excitedly. Under the bustling street scene of Fifth Avenue, two Chinese people looked at each other and smiled.

"Is it done as I wish?" Liu Yan said straight.

"That's the Empire State Building. Do you want to go up and take a look?" Guan Lu smiled, feeling very bright, just like the blue sky in New York that was raining today.

"Okay, go and have a look." Liu Yanzhi was also very interested.

The Empire State Building is a landmark building in New York. It is 103 floors high and the roof is always open to tourists. Many movies have scenes where lovers meet at the top of the Empire State Building. However, today, the tourists line up long queues, most of which are tourist groups from Japan, wearing hats and small flags, and queuing in line in a regular manner, depending on the posture, the queue is not in the middle of one or two hours.

"Sweeping away." Guan Lu said, "Let's go to the Metropolitan Museum to open your eyes and give you a long illiterate experience."

Liu Yanzhi agreed immediately: "Okay, but should we find a place to live first?"

Guan Lu said: "Okay, we stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which is an old brand, and Li Hongzhang has stayed there."

...

On Park Avenue in Manhattan, Waldorf Assistant Hotel, Guan Lu was stunned when she saw the price of the room. She whispered to Liu Yanzhi: "Is our funding enough?"

Liu Yanzhi checked the traveler's check in his wallet. The return ticket was booked in advance and there was no need for additional payment. The remaining money was enough to spend a few days in New York. Anyway, the money could not be taken away, and it would not be spent.

Two high-end rooms were opened. The two put down their luggage and went out for sightseeing. They took a New York iconic yellow painted taxi and started their trip to Manhattan. When they saw the clothing store, Guan Lu no longer mentioned going to the Metropolitan Museum. She plunged in and went shopping wildly, and bought a lot of clothes and shoes.

Lunch was eaten at a high-end Italian restaurant. Guan Lu held a knife and fork and cut cream bacon and mushrooms, and asked Liu Yanzhi: "How many days do we have left?"

Liu Yanzhi said: "There are five days left. Two days later, the plane will first arrive in Hong Kong and then transfer to Ori River. It's time to go."

Guan Lu's face changed: "Not good."

"What's wrong?" Liu Yanzhi was already used to her shock.

"Do you know the existence of international date change lines? China's time is one day earlier than the United States. If we only stay for three days, we can't go back to Ori. It takes more than 30 hours to take the train from Hong Kong to Ori. There is no international flight at Ori. It's over and I can't go back." Guan Lu was restless.

"The air tickets are changed, and you will leave now, fly directly from New York to Beijing, and then go to Jinjiang. There is always a way to catch up." Liu Yan turned the railway straight.

"I haven't gone to the Empire State Building yet," Guan Lu muttered.
