She was unconscious. Her body draped against the wall lifelessly. If it weren't for the slight life aura around her, Atlas would have thought that she was a corpse.
His body froze for a moment when he saw her, and in the next moment, he was already walking towards her.
He was operating subconsciously. His conscious mind turned off the moment he saw the chains, and everything he did from that point forth happened on instinct.
He approached until he was standing directly in front of her and looking down at her body. His eyes were glazed over, but he was not blinded.
Atlas was instead seeing two scenes at the same time. The first was the one in front of him, and the second…
He couldn't see it very well, but he could feel it. Around his wrists, ankles, and neck, chains made of the same materials.
He heard the thoughts of that person whose mind he was seeing.
'If only I still had my qi…if I had qi, these chains would be nothing.'
