I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 175

It seemed that Cassia’s family had some extremely secretive secret about their bodies.

This was Oliver’s vague guess, but he couldn’t see anything wrong with Cassia’s family.

Cassia fell asleep comfortably under the influence of Oliver’s Immortality Energy, and Oliver examined her carefully.

It could be said that the interior of Cassia’s body was clearly displayed in Oliver’s mind as a three- dimensional image.

Oliver checked Cassia carefully again, but still found nothing special until the final check of her heart, when the Immortality Energy suddenly took an extremely slight pause.

Normally Oliver wouldn’t have noticed such a small change, but he was so highly focused right now that he immediately noticed the slight pause, so he immediately stopped.

The Immortality Energy scanned the area again, and finally, he found something wrong.

In the middle of Cassia’s heart, there was a faint “imprint-like” pattern that Oliver could not have seen if he hadn’t reviewed it very carefully.

When the imprint was displayed independently in Oliver’s mind, he found that it was like a “rune”, which transmitted a series of rays in all directions, and then radiated the rays to various positions of Cassia’s body.

It turned out to be this thing that controlled Cassia’s bodily functions.

Oliver used Immortality Energy very carefully to examine this imprint.

When Immortality Energy invaded the imprint, the imprint erupted some gloomy haze, making Oliver feel a little dangerous.

Oliver hurriedly adjusted the Immortality Energy to its strongest state. As soon as the imprint aura collided with the Immortality Energy, it dispersed immediately, and then was surrounded and devoured by the Immortality Energy little by little.

Like eating food, the Immortality Energy devoured the imprint and then became a little stronger. When the last trace of imprint aura was swallowed by Oliver’s Immortality Energy, the imprint, like a bubble in the sun, popped.

And then it vanished.

All of a sudden, Oliver found that Cassia was changing!

Originally, Cassia was eerily beautiful, but in that instant, everything about her changed.

First of all, her originally excessively pale skin became similar to that of an ordinary person.

In addition, Cassia’s skin, which used to be delicate and softer than the skin of people who used the best skin care products, was now significantly rougher.

Cassia was still beautiful, but she was more like a normal person now.

Cassia had lost the ability to make her look extraordinary.

Oliver figured it out.

Cassia and her family’s unique abilities stemmed from the imprint on their hearts.

The imprint, as Oliver could understand it, was a curse!

To explain this based on Oliver’s hometown’s culture, it would be that a powerful wizard had cast a magic spell on the members of this family!

And the effects of this spell were inherited, affecting everyone in this family.

To put it more scientifically, some kind of viral gene was added to Cassia’s family’s genes.

But Oliver wondered, ‘It’s been said that people in Cassia’s family have had this symptom for a thousand

years, but was there such advanced technology a thousand years ago?

Even now, there seems to be no technology that can tamper with human genes.

And the gene can be passed on, afflicting every generation of Cassia’s family.

The viral gene was virulent, poisoning everyone in Cassia’s family, but it also had an advantage.

That was, this viral gene could greatly enhance the ability of its carrier in various aspects, such as mental, physical, hearing, vision, endurance, and so on.

The downside was that it made its carrier strongly crave blood, much like the need for food. Additionally, the need for its carrier to draw blood would increase until it reached its limit.

When the limit was reached, the carrier died.

So, almost everyone in Cassia’s family was a genius but they didn’t live long. The oldest of them died before the age of 60, and most of them died around the age of 50.

Oliver checked Cassia’s body again.

Without the imprint in Cassia’s heart, her body was normal now. Oliver could feel her health and vitality

now.

At this rate, Cassia would live to be at least eighty if not ninety.

It was only because that imprint in her body hadn’t tormented her very much yet. Cassia was still very young, after all.

Her father, Fermin, was different. Oliver had already determined earlier that Fermin was on the verge of death, and even if Oliver now removed the imprint curse from Fermin’s heart, Fermin would have at most another two or three years to live.

Over the past few decades, the many blood exchanges had seriously damaged Fermin’s physical functions and vitality.

Cassia was sleeping soundly, and Oliver did not wake her up. He sat and fished for a while.

But Oliver was so bad at fishing that he did not catch anything for a long time.

Cassia woke up, stretched herself, sat up, and rubbed her eyes. She looked at Oliver and asked lazily, “Are you fishing? How did I fall asleep? Eh? Why don’t I have any strength?”

As she spoke, Cassia got up and glanced at the blue sea. Then she reached for the diving gear that lay beside her.

But Cassia failed to lift it. She tried hard again but it was still too heavy to lift.

Cassia said in surprise, “It’s strange. Why is the diving equipment heavier than before?”

Oliver said thoughtfully, “It’s not the diving equipment that’s heavier. It’s your body that’s changed.” “My body has changed?”

Cassia was stunned and asked in surprise, “What happened?”

You

Oliver nodded and said, “I found out the secret of this disease in your family. You may… You may have been cured, as I confirmed, and you are now a perfectly normal person, but you have lost all the incredible abilities that the virus gave you.”

Cassia was stunned again, then moved her body to feel it. A few minutes later, she realized, as Oliver had said, that she no longer had any superpowers.

No wonder Cassia had just woken up feeling so weak. She used to be able to lift thousands of pounds with ease and now she couldn’t even lift tens of pounds of diving equipment.

Cassia was stunned. Almost everyone in her family was thinking about how to cure the disease, but after she was cured herself, she suddenly felt empty and uncomfortable!

Without her extraordinary abilities, Cassia suddenly felt that she was not herself. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Cassia did want to be cured, because no one wanted to die, but she didn’t want to lose those special abilities.

Cassia thought, “Maybe you can’t have your cake and eat it, as the Clusian saying goes.”
