This presidential suite has a separate balcony, which is very spacious and expansive, and is surrounded by plants and potted plants.

The two of them sat at a small round table on the balcony, and the breeze blew through the open window, which made people very comfortable and comfortable.

But Li Xing didn't feel this comfort at all, and his heart was heavy.

"What do you mean?"

He stared into Assi's eyes, trying to read the signs of a lie from them.

But there was only a calm in Assi's eyes, and there was no movement.

"You're sick, very sick. ”

Li Xing's pupils shrank.

Very serious illness?

He immediately thought of the strange state in ** alienation.

Assis looked at him and said slowly, "And I have never seen a person with this disease survive. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Or, those who survived are no longer human. ”

"What disease do I have?"

After being silent for a while, Li Xing spoke.

Assis glanced at Li Xing, and seeing that his expression was still calm, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't answer Li Xing's question immediately, but asked rhetorically: "How much do you know about the existence of the Awakened?"

The Awakened......

Li Xing's eyes froze.

Although he didn't know why Assis suddenly asked this, he began to think about the Awoken.

The content of the last conversation with Fang Xiuqi flashed through his mind, as well as the ability of Dora to make the entire exhibition hall instantly unconscious in the museum just now.

"A group of beings with special abilities, I don't know about the rest. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Li Xing spoke.

He really didn't know much about the Awakened, and his conversation with Fang Xiuqi was more focused on the topic of martial arts and xenomorphs, and he didn't usually encounter the existence of these Awakened Ones.

Aside from knowing that the Awakened possessed a lot of strange abilities, Li Xing knew nothing about them.

"Yes, you're right, the Awakened are indeed a group of beings with special abilities. ”

After listening to Li Xing's answer, Assis had no intention of being dissatisfied, and nodded approvingly.

"So the question is, how did they get their abilities?"

"Since they are called awakened, then their abilities should be obtained through the so-called awakening?" Li Xing raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's the ...... of awakening"

Assis looked up at the sky, his eyes revealing a hint of yearning and longing that could not be concealed.

"Awakening is the miracle of life, the only way to break through the shackles and limitations of life and step into the extraordinary. He said in a calm tone.

Break the shackles? Step into the transcendental?

Li Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

"In ancient times, the Awakened had all kinds of strange abilities such as manipulating water and fire, mind transferring, etc., and could do all kinds of incredible things out of thin air that ordinary people could not do, and possessed a powerful existence with huge destructive power.

It was from them that various legends of gods and demons were derived, and they were revered as gods by people who did not know the truth at the time, or evil and bloodthirsty demons......"

Assis briefly outlines the existence of the Awoken.

Li Xing listened quietly to Assi's narration, and also had a general understanding of the so-called awakened.

“...... In modern times, through modern scientific research, it has been found that they are essentially just human beings who have evolved due to mutations in some genes, and are better than ordinary people, so the awakened are also called evolutionaries. ”

Assis picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

"And this process of genetic mutation and evolution is called awakening, isn't it?"

A hint of abruptness flashed on Li Xing's face.

"That's right. ”

Assis nodded, and he looked at Li Xingdao.

"Your physical body is very strong, but the foundation of the martial arts on your body is very weak, and it is impossible for you to come from your own hard training, so I thought at first that you were also an awakened person. ”

Thought at first?

Li Xing was slightly stunned, of course he knew that he was not the so-called awakened person, and no matter how he looked at the dream intensification, it had nothing to do with awakening.

"And now?" he looked at Asis quizzically.

Assis glanced deeply at Li Xing with a compassionate gaze, which made Li Xing frown.

"Strictly speaking, you can be considered an Awakened, but ...... Failed in the process of awakening. ”

"Failed to awaken?"

"Yes, the awakening failed. Assi's eyes drooped slightly, as if he recalled some bad past, "The Awakened are also called Evolvers, and evolution itself is a cruel word......

Without Assi's explanation, Li Xing understood what he meant.

What is evolution? The survival of the fittest is called evolution, and the winners of successful evolution are obviously the awakened ones who have obtained various abilities, so what about those who fail to evolve and are eliminated......

“...... The human genome sequence is like a domino that has been laid out, and the slightest change in it can have a big impact.

In the process of awakening, there are often more than sixty percent of people who will directly die on the spot due to genetic collapse, which is the first type of people; and thirty percent of them not only do not get the ability, but also give birth to a strange disease such as cancer that cannot be cured, this is the second type of people; in the final rest of the population, it is the lucky ones who have successfully awakened and those who have successfully possessed their own abilities although they have fallen into the root of the disease, which is the third and least category.

And in the last third category of people, only 20% of the truly and completely successful awakened people can be found. ”

Although Assi's tone was very flat, Li Xing heard full of cruelty and coldness.

There is only a 10% success rate, and there is an 80% chance of getting a strange disease.

Survival of the fittest is indeed a cruel law of nature.

"So, do you think I'm a loser in the third category?" Li Xing said in a deep voice.

"No, your situation doesn't fall into any of these categories. Unexpectedly, Assis denied his words.

"Huh?" Li Xing wondered.

"Strictly speaking, you're more like you're evolving into a third category of losers. ”

Assis also frowned, and said with some puzzlement: "The ominous aura emanating from your body is impossible to be wrong, it is the unique aura of the deviant, but you are completely normal now......

What a normal person looks like?!

Li Xing instantly thought of the strange eyeballs growing out of his shoulders, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

"What is an aberrant?"

He grasped the sensitive word.

"Aberrers...... It's the awakened ones who have all sorts of terrible deformities due to genetic changes. ”

Assis's eyes flashed with disgust and jealousy, "Have you ever seen some patients with serious skin diseases, and their condition has deteriorated by at least ten times, which is the most common appearance among deviants.

And some of the aberrants ...... I can't be considered human anymore. ”
