"Here."
Lisa's eyes met Jennie's. Then, he tapped his head gently.
"The temple?" Jennie asked curiously.
"It's the brain." He explained patiently.
She wasn't one to say harsh words. She must have been influenced by Sungjae or Soobin!
"A normal person's brain can only develop by about five percent. A super-genius' brain can develop by seven or eight percent," He whispered to Jennie.
"Then your brain must be fully developed, Mr. Manoban," Jennie replied with a grin.
Lisa was momentarily startled before he snapped back to his senses. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Then, he tapped her eyebrows lightly. "No one has reached that level."
"Then you must be able to reach such a level, Mr. Manoban," replied Jennie.
"If we can develop our brains 100 percent, perhaps they will no longer be limited by the boundaries of humans," replied Lisa.
She was curious.
What could the development of the human brain... achieve? Developing it 100 percent was beyond human comprehension...
For some reason, Jennie recalled the scene in the laboratory.
What had she been researching in that unknown laboratory? Had it been connected to her brain?
"Mr. Manoban... What would happen if your brain was fully developed?" asked Jennie curiously.
She really didn't have any special knowledge regarding brains.
However, ordinary people couldn't use their brains at all. She was well aware of that but she didn't know as many details as Lisa. She could find a book to study this subject.
"Fully developed... I'm not sure," replied Lisa softly. "Perhaps, once you reached the 100-percent level of existence, you'd be able to control your body completely. Every cell in your body... would stop growing old or dying. You might become an object."
Jennie was surprised when she heard Lisa. "That's really incredible! Would such a person still be human? Or would they even be God?"
"Perhaps they would be more powerful than God." Lisa then added, "They could change their genes and become an eagle soaring in the sky. They could be the ruler of the deep ocean and become invincible."
If this had been any other time, Jennie wouldn't have believed him.
However, what had happened that year? Jennie had seen too many incredible things in that laboratory.
Perhaps humans had begun to evolve, but... ordinary people wouldn't be able to.
"This would be achieved only by developing the brain a hundred percent," she unconsciously replied.
"If the brains of ordinary people were developed to more than ten percent, they might become the pioneers of human evolution. They might even acquire some special abilities bestowed upon them by their brains," Lisa quipped.
"Then how should we develop the brain?" Jennie pressed on.
Lisa fell silent for some time.
His eyes roved over her once more. "Connate or external interference."
External help?
Jennie furrowed her eyebrows. In that case... wouldn't the laboratory be a kind of external help?
"Mr. Manoban, can I borrow this book?" She suddenly felt interested in Lisa's book.
Lisa didn't respond. Instead, his eyes darted to the window.
