Chapter 54
Controlling the body and mind of a living creature—puppeteering—was an extremely high-level skill.
And the ability to control a human? No one had ever even heard of such a thing.
The only story she had heard involving manipulation was of an S-rank Hunter from another country, who nearly destroyed an entire city by controlling a swarm of rats.
Maybe it would work on creatures with weak self-awareness, but the human mind? That was far more delicate—and difficult to handle.
Lee Romi smiled brightly, as if she could read exactly what Nayun was thinking.
“The world’s still overflowing with things we don’t understand, right? I love that kind of stuff.”
She reached out with the hand not holding her phone and gently stroked Nayun’s face.
While doing so, she looked Nayun over from every angle, as if measuring something, and kept smiling.
“There’s always joy in uncovering the unknown.”

“It’s easy to slip in through a weak heart. This girl’s had a really hard time because of you, you know.”
She tapped her chest and gestured to Lee Romi’s own body.
