Sudden awakening?

Generally speaking, if beings who had no background managed to awaken, it was through the opening of the spiritual mind. However, it was far from comparable with that of the adult humans, and their intelligence would probably be under the age of 13.

In the years after awakening, intelligence and physical strength would continue to increase. Only when the benefits of awakening are completely over could they catch up with the IQ of ordinary adults. At this time, they still couldn't transform into humans.

There were many foreign species in the northeastern demon alliance that had awoken. However, at the beginning, they couldn't transform into human beings. Only by practicing qi and reaching a certain level could they become human beings, except for some talents. This little poodle couldn't be the last one.

Little brother, you're still playing games with me? “Have you heard of Baoze?” asked Li Xianyu.

“No…” The poodle's fleeting fear betrayed it.

“It doesn't matter. I'll tell you now. Baoze is the law enforcers of the demon descendants' community, who has the right to punish any foreign species who violates the rules.” Li Xianyu said: “You have violated two laws. The first is to awaken after the founding of the People's Republic without permission. Secondly, you violated an ordinary woman. Even if humans violated humans of the opposite gender, they would still be punished. If you are a foreign species, you will be punished harder.”

The poodle was indignant, but did not dare to answer back. He pleaded. “This is my instinct, I didn't want to.”

Li Xianyu nodded. “Baoze emphasizes human rights. The awakened foreign species also have human rights. You can rest a.s.sured that we will not kill you, but we will punish you.”

“What punishment?” the poodle asked.

Li Xianyu replied, “According to the regulations, how would we deal with the problem of s.e.x offenders? Battle Lady, how do we settle this?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady's face was expressionless. “Castration for a permanent fix.”

Very good. Battle Lady has been with me for a long time. She has become smarter. In the future, everyone in my harem group would become like Xia Xiaoxue.

The poodle quavered, “Castrate? Castrate what?”

Li Xianyu aimed at the soft lying object in his crotch and smiled. “You know it, you have such a high IQ.”

The poodle's face was pale. “You… Why don't you just kill me…?”

“So if you want to survive, answer my question,” Li Xianyu said.

The poodle succ.u.mbed, remembering for a moment. “I woke up after being fed medicine. That day, she took me out for a walk and went for a haircut halfway. She tied me to the door of the barber shop. Later, a man came to the salon's door. He boasted that I was smart, so he squatted down to play with me, quietly fed me something, and then left. He left a message before he left.”

“When I got home that night, I was in great pain and I felt like I was going to die. She was scared. She took me to the vet. The doctor checked my body and said that I was not sick, but in good health. She said that I was healthier and stronger than any pet dog he had ever seen. I could understand him because I had awakened.”

“I learned human language without a teacher and spent three days understanding human characters. Every day after she goes out, I will turn on the computer, browse information on the Internet and learn knowledge.”

f.u.c.k, a scholarly dog. Li Xianyu's brain imagined a little poodle lying in front of the computer, skillfully operating the mouse, typing on the keyboard and concentrating on browsing the news.

This was very unreasonable. Even if the awakening will bring intellectual bonuses to foreign species, knowledge needed to be learned and taught.

Without a teacher, it was proficient in human language and writing… How would you expect me, a Shanghai University of Finance and Economics student, to face the world?

Li Xianyu did not rush to retort. “What did the man give you? What's the message? ”

The poodle carefully recalled. “It should be meat. It's black, but it's delicious. It's very attractive to me. He said if you want to know more, go to No.33, Lower Pier Street, Golden Gate Club. As long as you say the phrase, ‘The emperor is the only ruler of the world,' someone will entertain you.”

The emperor is the only ruler of the world?

Was this the slogan of the Great Demons' Alliance? What does it mean? It sounds good. What does “emperor” refer to? Li Xianyu silently wrote down the slogan. “Have you gone?”

The poodle nodded. “I wanted to know more. I wanted to see what the world is like. One week after awakening, while she was at work, I sneaked out of the door, turned into a human, and went to the Golden Gate Club.”

“When I found the front desk and read the slogan, she took me upstairs to a private room, where I was received by a beautiful woman who called herself Madame. I was full of questions for her, but she looked at me a few times and let me go.”

“Why?” Li Xianyu frowned.

“She said I was flawed and didn't meet the standards.”

“Flawed?”

“Well, she didn't elaborate.”

“That's it? You came back with nothing? ”

“That's not true. She arranged for many beautiful women to accompany me. I stayed there all day and could hardly climb back.” At this point, the poodle had a happy smile on his face.

After asking a few more questions and exhausting the poodle's value, Li Xianyu knocked it back into original form, and then left the room holding its neck.

If Zhang Lu were to wake up to find that her “son” was missing, there was a possibility that she would call the police. This was not in Li Xianyu's consideration. She lost her pet, but she would restore her peaceful life.

In order not to be caught by the cameras in the community, Li Xianyu took the poodle to the roof, and under the cover of the night, he jumped from roof to roof, disappearing in the dark.

This kind of high-rise travel mode satisfied Li Xianyu's dream where he travelled like a superhero.

At the top of an apartment building a few kilometers away, Li Xianyu held the poodle in his left hand, took out his mobile phone in his right hand and made a phone call to Lightning King.

Great-Grandma and Thunderbolt Battle Lady didn't want to touch the poodle, so he had to carry it.

When the phone was connected, Li Xianyu immediately said, “King, I have a clue.”

Lightning King was stunned at first, then smiled happily. “I did not choose the wrong person.”

Why did he feel like this complaint had another meaning behind it… Li Xianyu cursed in his heart.

“That mission…”

“Of course, you can keep on investigating. I won't let anyone else in. If you need help, you can inform the branch. The branch has arranged many high-end combat forces in Henan county. You can be on standby at any time and wait for your dispatch.”

Before Li Xianyu, Baoze was also investigating the Great Demons' Alliance, but every time there was a little progress, the clue would be cut off. Lightning King and Henan Branch were constantly in a state of headache at this serious issue.

Thinking about it, Lightning King decided to sacrifice Li Xianyu, a big killing machine. Any top-end investigative means and logical reasoning paled in comparison to a trouble magnet.

I just need to stop here, and the clue will come to me!

So far, everything was going well. Lightning King felt that he had developed the right way to use the powers of the trouble magnet. He was in a beautiful mood.

“This treatment… I feel like I'm at the level of the Ten G.o.ds of Baoze.”

“How to deal with the poodle? I think it has research value.”

Mysterious pieces of meat that could awaken foreign species, as well as Madame's definition of “flawed.” Those were very important clues.

In particular, the former was likely to be the cause of the surge of demon descendant incidents in Central China. There was something in the demon descendants' community that could activate the genes of ancient demons efficiently and stably, and it would definitely cause a storm.

He finally knew why Baoze attached so much importance to the Great Demons' Alliance. Even if Li Peiyun, the bait, was s.n.a.t.c.hed away, they would still be unbelievably happy with the outcome.

If that kind of thing was allowed to spread, the demon descendant community may fall into chaos. Central China was just a microcosm of that thing's influence. Allowing it to ferment might subvert the world.

The demon descendant incidents in Central China had soared, but it had not caused a social uproar, which showed that the impact was not big enough, and the problem is not significant enough as of now.

The animals and people who ate “meat” would awaken quickly, but there seemed to be a defect. These two points were to be congratulated. Li Xianyu's thoughts whirled.

“Give it to the people from the branch,” Lightning King replied.

“King, what do you think of the issue of defect?” Li Xianyu asked.

“It's normal. The awakening of demon descendants is occasional and inevitable. It's occasional because the way of awakening is not fixed, but random. It's inevitable because there is a level to be attained before demon descendants awaken. Only those who have reached that threshold can awaken. We call it the bloodline ratio.”

“Those whose bloodline ratios are insufficient cannot awaken in any way. It's natural, it can't be changed.” Lightning King thought to himself, This is the case with a certain big man. He has insufficient bloodline ratio, and cannot awaken even if he exhausts his brain juices.

“Forced awakening will cause defects; some physically, some mentally, and both have a common flaw: a shortened life span.”

“We have studied the demon descendants that experienced sudden awakening in Central China, and the research shows that their cell division is dozens of times, hundreds of times faster than that of ordinary people. Awakening is exhausting their lives, and this process is irreversible.”

“In addition, it's not stable, just like the intermittent current. Sometimes the power is overloaded to fuse, sometimes it's insufficiently loaded. This is no different from ordinary animals.”

Li Xianyu suddenly understood that when he contacted the poodle at close range that day, he didn't find any problems in him. He also understood why it was so intelligent and proficient in human language and writing in such a short time.

A candle that could burn for hours burnt out in around ten minutes, or even in a few minutes.

“The Great Demons' Alliance is screening potential members?!” Li Xianyu came to a quick conclusion and was shocked.
