Natalia, who seemed to blend in with the lifeless things around her, had been overlooked.
But that was impossible for me. Even when my electromagnetic waves activated unconsciously, their effective range was at least around three meters. Within ten meters, I could faintly sense the presence of living things.
After sweeping my gaze across the room, I looked at Natalia, who was holding her breath and watching me warily on instinct.
My glance around the room and the sound of me entering happened simultaneously, so her wariness lasted less than a second after I came in. Then she resumed her breathing rhythm. It was only once she relaxed that my vision could easily lock onto her.
"Yuxuan..."
When Natalia saw me come in, a spark of static seemed to flash across her skin. Of course, this faint current wasn't something a person could feel.
People's bodies carried faint electrical currents all the time. After all, even the brain operated through extremely weak electrical signals. So, through electromagnetic induction, her body's reactions had been very dim. At the instant I entered the room, she had seemed almost like an object rather than a living being. Apart from the magnetic fluctuations emitted by her brain, her body had barely reacted at all.
I could sense a current of less than a fraction of a milliamp passing through the deeper layers of her skin. The pores across her body opened slightly in that instant, and her gaze softened, with a hint of moisture in her eyes. Her face also held a faint blush.
Seeing this, I wasn't sure whether I really understood how she felt. Normally... all those reactions of hers—including her heart suddenly beating faster, and the changes in her skin, body, and eyes—added up to just one thing...
