An Bao's innate special empathic ability hadn't disappeared. Instead, his parents utilized their connections spanning Taiwan and Vietnam to arrange for dozens of **Emotion Regulators** to help him. Their task was to clarify An Bao's emotions and keep his inner thoughts within a manageable range, while providing appropriate feedback to him—guiding him from childhood to adulthood.
Some of these Emotion Regulators, driven by private motives, would share the messages and memories they received from An Bao with their own children. Whenever An Bao learned something new, this knowledge would flow back to them.
Some of these Emotion Regulators would talk to themselves; others would circle around topics during conversations. Their purpose was to untangle An Bao's emotional and mental state. While they were regulating An Bao's condition, they also occupied a portion of his focus. As a result, An Bao's concentration became several times greater than that of an ordinary person—this was also a privilege granted to him by Heaven. Whenever An Bao struggled to think through something and felt extremely perplexed, these Emotion Regulators would fall into mental stagnation or confusion themselves.
And An Bao, until the very beginning of his trial, knew nothing of all this.
