Less than a minute after letting the boy go, Annette quickly rushed into the living room. Seeing the real boy in front of him left her completely baffled. She couldn't help but run towards the sleeping child and touch his body to make sure her eyes weren't deceiving her. Earlier she saw rays of golden light shine inside the kitchen, which caused her to stop what she was doing, as well as the crisp bird sounds that caused her to fall into a feeling of extreme bliss and clarity, so she quickly rushed over.
Who knew she would witness a miracle. Touching the real life body of the boy caused her so much shock she almost yelled loudly in astonishment. But before she did, Hui Shi raised his right hand, and said softly to her in a whisper. "Please take the child to a different room. Our speech could wake him up."
Lain, who was also curious, couldn't help but reach over from where he was sitting and gently touch the little boy's hand as well, in order to confirm the miracle that he had just witnessed before quickly letting go of the boy.
After seeing Lain's actions, Annette quickly closed her gaping mouth, and nodded gently at Hui Shi and Lain, before gently lifting the boy up from the couch and taking him into the kitchen.
After about three minutes in the kitchen, she came back with two stone shaped cups filled with water and two stone bowls filled with exotic fruits. She then gave Lain and Hui Shi, one cup and one bowl each, before kneeling down in front of Hui Shi.
You could see the gratefulness on her face. "Thank you, brother Hui Shi. May lord Eniseth's grace last forever." She solemnly said, before taking a deep bow that made her head touch the rug below her.
"You're welcome my sister. Please get up, and let me explain why my lord helped the young child." Hui Shi replied slowly, before reaching towards Annette to help her up, after gently placing his cup and bowl on the ground next to him.
"Thank you, brother Hui Shi." She gently said again before getting up and sitting down next to Hui Shi. Lain sitting by the side quietly drank his water and watched what was occurring before him, with a smile on his face, completely ignoring the plate of fruits in his hand.
"Let's begin then. Was the soul of someone used to create the holographic child?" Hui Shi gently asked Annette. "Yes. My younger brother who I grew up with and also became heroes with, died a year after becoming a hero. He was tasked to research a strange but deadly phenomenon called Sweet by the hero division of the Justice Bureau.
