Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: A Strange Anomaly

"Touching the top of the two tubes on the countertop causes the runes inscribed on them to condense water from the environment outside the house into the tubes, and release them from the holes within the tubes. Giving you access to hot and cold water. You can also just state loudly to the house key that you wish to turn on cold or hot water from the kitchen's faucet, and the same thing will occur." Annette continued, after seeing Lain pull up the holographic kitchen.

"Thanks! This is a pretty interesting kitchen. Life would've been so much easier, if we had this back at my home." Lain voiced out in jealousy.

"Me too. I didn't grow up with a kitchen like this either. I bought my first home, only after years of effort working with the Justice Bureau officers." Annette added with slight melancholy in her voice. 

"You two must've had it rough growing up." Hui Shi couldn't help but say, before putting his hands on both their shoulders, in understanding. The golden glow emanating from his warm hands quickly entered their bodies, cleansing their slightly melancholic minds, and soothing their aching souls. 

"Yeah." Annette, and Lain unwillingly replied with sighs. Before going back to looking around the room again, after being cleansed by the sacred, golden light emanating from Hui Shi's hands. It seems they've come to terms with their difficult pasts.

After opening a few cabinets, and playing with the appliances within the kitchen for a couple of minutes in silence, Lain quickly got over the novelty of the kitchen's appliances.

Seeing Lain stop moving around in wonder and awe, Hui Shi realized it was time to check out the last room. 

"You should probably go and check out the last room, called Bedroom 2 in the holographic TV menu. It's likely identical to the first bedroom that we just came from, and will be very familiar to you." Hui Shi stated with a slight relaxing smile on his face, before looking through the floor to ceiling glass window in the kitchen towards the backyard of the house that showed the forest behind the house. It seemed that something outside of the window caught his closed eyes.

"There's probably nothing much in there. But I'll follow you along." Annette added before guiding Lain to the doorway of the last bedroom that was situated on the right side of the kitchen.

Looking into the last bedroom, Lain saw an identical bed, closet, chair, and desk inside of it similar to the first room he had visited. There was truly nothing there that was different, other than the fact that the bed in the new bedroom was located on the left side of the room, and was smaller in size than the one in the first bedroom that he visited.
