And he missed this opportunity.

Once you miss it, you can't get it back.

Su Qinghong felt bitter in his heart, lowered his head that was always noble and proud, and replied in a low voice: "You are right."

Su Xinmu stepped past him and said, "The transaction is over. How you want to deal with it later has nothing to do with me."

The door to the study room was closed, and the footsteps behind him became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

Su Qinghong's back was hunched, and his formerly elegant and energetic face seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, and he was in a miserable state.

Life, one wrong step, one wrong step after another.

…

After returning home, Su Xinmu immediately turned on the optical brain, turned on the privacy mode and do not disturb mode, and began to read the Blue Star end-of-days historical materials obtained from Su Qinghong.

[In the first year of the apocalypse, biological mutations occur without warning. Zombies are infected in a small area. Scientists' intensive research has failed. Humans are forced to hide and move to areas not yet occupied by mutated creatures. 】

She stood up suddenly, picked up her coat and ran straight to the door.

"Secret..." Su Xinmu murmured to himself.

"I'm not interested in research." She suddenly smiled softly, "I'm just looking for an answer."

"Deputy Commander Su came to see me today. What's the matter?" Ke Xin looked at her sideways and asked with some confusion.

"If you gain something, you will naturally have to pay for it." Ke Xin touched the tip of his nose, "The spirit transformation is so unnatural, it is normal to have a price."

He tried to read some emotion from Su Xinmu's eyes, but there was nothing.

The starship quickly flew to the Beta Astronomy Institute. On the way, she sent a message to Kesin in advance, and he was already waiting at the door.

Su Xinmu's eyes paused, hesitating for a moment, and clicked in. This book was Yang Shang's autobiography.

But all this was just her conjecture.

Su Xinmu didn't stop, "No need, we'll talk about it later."

Although Cheng Mian Fangmei also has a large circle of influence, the number of people he can trust is limited after all. They also have their own jobs and cannot do everything themselves.

With Ke Xin leading her, she entered the Institute of Science without any hindrance and walked side by side to the laboratory with Ke Xin.

"Is this okay to say?" Ke Xin's smile faded a little, half-jokingly, "If I was stolen by you to publish a paper, wouldn't I have worked all these years in vain?"

Su Xinmu raised her eyebrows and said tentatively: "The awakening of the spiritual tribe?"

Su Xinmu bent his fingers and tapped the table repeatedly, "You must have been doing experiments to explore the limits of spirit transformation for a long time, right? Have you gained anything?"

There is research on mutated creatures and supernatural powers, and it doesn't stop there... There is a secret hidden in my heart that no one knows except the highest-level circle of scientists.

The smile on Ke Xin's face disappeared completely, and he stared at her closely, as if he could see through her heart.

"How to solve the side effects caused by breaking through the limit of spirit transformation." Su Xinmu paused, his eyes were deep, "Also, how and when was the spirit transformation born? Why is it so different from ordinary powers?

difference?"

Why is it only spread among high-level scientists?

Is this secret going to shock the world’s awareness, or what?

Holding her pen, she carefully drew a straight line under the word race, "Spiritual power and race, the awakening of the Eldar?"

"You know." She raised the corners of her lips and locked her eyes with Ke Xin, "Maybe we can exchange news?"

Then he closed the interface, took out a piece of paper, wrote the keywords on it, and stared at it without blinking.

As Su Mu, the king of the apocalypse, she has never heard of this secret even though she started rebuilding the city in the end.

Ke Xin's pupils shrank subconsciously, and the next second he lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts, denying, "I don't know."

In the novel, the definition given to the spirit race is: Geniuses who can easily absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and practice simple and easy cultivation.

Turning through the pages, the first ones were filled with research on biological mutations and superpowers recorded by Yang Shang, until the end——

"Miss Su, are you going out? Do you need to prepare dinner in advance?" The robot butler noticed her movements and rushed over to ask with concern.

Their relationship was very superficial, and they couldn't even be called friends.

When talking about the awakening of spiritual power, she naturally thinks of the Eldar.

After arriving at the laboratory and confirming that the surroundings were safe and concealed, Su Xinmu exhaled a breath of air and got straight to the point: "What is your opinion on the cost of transforming into a spirit?"

The evolution of supernatural powers...the awakening of spiritual power...race...?】

The content is not complete as Su Qinghong said. When the physical book reaches the interstellar era, it is inevitably somewhat incomplete.

"Okay." Ke Xin nodded slightly and followed the good example.

[Apocalyptic Legend: Scientist Yang Shang.]

Ke Xin lives in a science institute and has the support of Li Yaoyi behind him. It is normal for him to obtain secret information through some means.

"Yes, but knowing this answer will not benefit you, nor will it make any sense." He finally nodded, but still had no intention of telling Su Xinmu the truth.

She was wearing a black shirt and a white imperial uniform, with the wind at her feet. She was cool and neat. She glanced at Ke Xin lightly and said concisely: "There are many people and many eyes."

The content in the middle is blurred and replaced with ellipses.

[Epilogue: The end of the world will probably end in the near future, we all know that.

【……】

Su Xinmu has read some fantasy novels about cultivating immortals. There are many races, such as blood races, spiritual races, demon races and so on.

"You seem to know something." In just a few seconds, Su Xinmu quickly made a judgment, "You have already done a private investigation and even got the answer, right?"

Su Xinmu was not surprised that his research progress was faster than Cheng Mian Fangmei's.

I don’t know if the original physical book was damaged or if Yang Chang had some scruples and hid it in the writing in his autobiography.

[In the last year of the apocalypse, biological mutations have swept the world. People who can control elements such as fire, thunder, feng shui and so on suddenly appear among humans, and are called superpowers. 】

It's just that most fantasy immortality novels emphasize the word "pleasure" and almost never mention whether there are negative effects on the spirit race.

Ke Xin raised his eyebrows lightly, "What's the answer?"

Is it similar to transforming spirits?

It can only be said that he is a colleague who works under Li Yaoyi.

But Ke Xin is different.

He has his own project team in the Institute of Science, and Li Yaoyi's secret forces can also provide him with help.

Su Xinmu's eyes were shining with determination, and Ke Xin knew that the matter could no longer be hidden.

"Yes, we visited many places to collect information, and unexpectedly found a rubbing from the last days of Blue Star, recording the relevant content." He finally relaxed, "The birth of the transformed spirit means the awakening of the spiritual race that has been sleeping all year round.

The price of excessive use of spirit transformation is the consumption of the spirit body of the spirit race itself, which is irreversible and cannot be repaired."
