Benjamin saw this and instinctively fell into thought.
He had attended Professor Victor's lectures before. At the time, the theory Professor Victor promoted was that the birth of anomalies was related to intelligence.
But now, it seemed that was merely a relatively superficial cause.
[----I observed countless cases of anomalies attacking humans. The elderly, children, men, women, ordinary people, Psychics, even plant-folk. I discovered a pattern: as long as one is human, anomalies will attack. Whether you possess consciousness or not, whether you act or not, as long as you are human, anomalies will regard you as a target.] [But animals are not.] [Any animal will never be attacked by anomalies. The possibility of an animal being attacked by an anomaly is not "very low." It is "never." There are no records showing that any cat, dog, rat, or bird has ever been killed by an anomaly. They can move freely through regions overrun by anomalies without suffering any harm. Plants are the same. Even primates that have undergone special training and possess intelligence close to that of humans will not be attacked by anomalies.] [What does this prove? It proves that an anomaly's "target-locking" mechanism does not depend on physiological form, behavioral patterns, or even conscious activity. Plant-folk have no consciousness, yet they will still be killed by anomalies. Chimpanzees possess consciousness, and even a certain degree of intelligence, yet anomalies will not attack them.]
This was also the question Benjamin had considered back then, but without samples, he had been unable to determine the exact circumstances.
It seemed Professor Victor had already studied it carefully.
``` [Therefore, the sole common trait targeted by anomalies is "humanity" itself.]
[I spent a long time thinking about this question. Then I reached a conclusion, one that perhaps no one
