Chapter 100: Awakening

Start from the beginning
                                    

Rex now lay there, breathing normally, and even calmly as if he was just sleeping.

Graham looked at the doctor.

"He's asleep." Martinez said but given Graham's experience, the look on the doctor's face doesn't give the impression that Rex was just normally sleeping just like that.

"What's the issue?"

"Well..." the doctor had beads of sweat on his forehead and he wiped them with his sleeve. "I haven't seen anything like this before. Yes, he's asleep but..." he glanced at Rex and titled his head in confusion, "...it's really odd. His brain is completely... flat in all aspects."

"Flat?" The twins asked at the same time.

Hank looked at Rex, "That shouldn't be possible because there should always be an emotion that is mostly active in any given moment. Even the term 'relaxing' should be attached in at least one kind, if not many kinds, of emotional drivers that will serve as the carrier that can define the status of being 'relaxed' on a person."

"Yeah." Frank pondered, tapping his chin and closing his eyes, nodding, "Being relaxed depends on a person's own mental persona and state. So being flat..."

Graham frowned and took the panel that the doctor was looking at. He frowned even more when he saw that yes, all of Rex's 'bars' that had always represented his emotional and mental states were all in the 50% mark of being in a normal state of... being relaxed.

In fact, it was a frightening prospect.

Modern lie detectors can detect the slightest ripple in someone's emotions when triggered by certain thought-provoking questions.

Even the best liars in the history of mankind can't hide their emotions under these modern scanners.

And yet... this Rex Kingsley in front of them... his mental state and emotional triggers were all flat.

50% below the critical limit of agitation...

50% above the critical limit for being mentally dead...

It was as if...

"My god."

"Can it be?"

Before Graham could even pinpoint to anything in his train of thoughts, the twins stood up and then studied Rex Kingsley.

Hank grabbed his arm to feel his pulse and Frank lowered his ears to his chest while pulling up a window to look at his heartrate.

After a few while, both their eyes went wide and a look of happiness displayed on their faces.

Graham raised a brow and this brow was so high that it was far above his black sunglasses.

Unable to hold it in, he grumbled, "If you don't talk within the next ten seconds, I will twist your bodies until you cry."

Clearing his throat, Hank gently lowered Rex's arm while Frank gently raised his head and then explained, "I think... we think... that Rex had just entered a deeper state of the Triple Bloom Meditation."

"That... thing again?" Martinez was skeptical. Of course he will be. He was a scientist for god's sake and unproven things like these were the very reason why he was part of this team.

His job was to contradict the twins' martial expert advices.

Graham's purpose was to consolidate both their conclusions and it was a given fact that he was impartial on both of their claims, before deciding on what the team had to do next.

While the doctor was skeptic of these unproven practices, the twins were hard believers and even masters that have many years of experience on their backs that fund their claims.
