I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 110

There was no hope of lifting Blood Malediction, and Oliver was going crazy trapped in the mysterious and peculiar stone door. He sat in the empty stone chamber for who knew how long, and outside the “window,” the sun began to set, darkening the sky.

Oliver looked up at the sunset sky, and in a short while, the sun’s afterglow disappeared, leaving a gray darkness. Night had fallen.

The luminous pearl on the ceiling emitted a bright light, illuminating the hall, but it only made the silence more terrifying. Oliver sat there, feeling helpless, and turned his head to look at Golden Eyeball Sculpture and spiritual jade on the stone platform. Suddenly, he remembered the mantra in Book of Immortality in the spiritual jade. With nothing else to do, he decided to study the mantra.

The scripture described how to activate energy and transfer energy. Oliver had no interest in such things because he considered them to be unrealistic elements found only in fantasy novels or fantasy movies. However, with no other options available and feeling thirsty, Oliver decided to give it a try.

Oliver wasn’t particularly concerned about himself, but he worried about Sienna, Wayne, Simon, and Hailey. However, faced with this inexplicable and strange situation, he felt powerless.

Once the feeling of thirst and hunger set in, the danger would accelerate its approach. Oliver couldn’t shake off thoughts of escaping this situation, so he decided to focus on the Book of Immortality in his mind.

The scripture discussed the activation and transference of energy using one’s senses. One could absorb spiritual energy in the natural world and transform it into one’s own aura. This “aura” was Cultivation Aura, and this “energy” was Immortality Energy.

Book of Immortality had several cultivation stages, and the most basic one was to develop a sense of energy flow. The cultivation of Cultivation Aura was also dependent on one’s foundation, commonly referred to as one’s cultivation foundation or “spiritual root.”

-It was the minimum requirement to learn Book of Immortality. If a person did not possess a spiritual root, there was no way

to learn the scripture.

After reading the mantra in Book of Immortality, Oliver doubted that he possessed even a fraction of the required spiritual root. According to the mantra, even with a spiritual root, the cultivation of energy flow was not easy for most people.

Approaching the practice with a bored mindset, Oliver followed the instructions in the mantra. After the first attempt, he felt as if there was a small creature, like a mouse, moving along with his thoughts inside his chest.

The sensation followed his every thought, and his body felt warm and comfortable.

The indescribable comfort within Oliver’s body was beyond words. He couldn’t help but continue practicing. The more he practiced, the more solid and comfortable the sensation became

Soon, Oliver opened his eyes and found the sky turning reddish, indicating that it was already morning. He had practiced the mantra throughout the night, yet it felt like only ten minutes had passed.

As Oliver stood up and stretched, his body made crackling sounds, and he felt light as if he could float off the ground. Turning his gaze to the stone platform, he noticed that only the Golden Eyeball Sculpture was there and the spiritual jade had vanished, leaving behind a pile of dust.

“Did the jade turn to dust?” he wondered.

Puzzled, Oliver murmured to himself, searching the hall in every direction and hoping to find a hidden button or an exit. He felt those waiting outside must be anxious, especially Sienna, Wayne, and Simon. He also worried about Gunther.

Despite searching meticulously, Oliver couldn’t find any buttons or exits. After a while, he sighed and approached the stone door, staring at it absentmindedly.

Unexpectedly, as he looked at the stone door, a strange symbol suddenly appeared on its surface.

Oliver couldn’t recognize the pattern that looked like a character and a painting at the same time. It felt like the runes drawn by exercists in horror movies.

After looking at it for a while, Oliver didn’t recognize the half-lit runes and had no idea of their purpose. He hesitated for a moment and cautiously reached out to touch them.

When his fingers touched the rune on the stone door, it seemed to come alive. Like a tiny creature, it burrowed directly into his finger and instantly disappeared inside..

Oliver was startled, but before he could react, his finger unexpectedly “sank” into the stone door!

“Not again!”

Shocked, Oliver suddenly had a hopeful thought. He remembered that he had mysteriously been swallowed by the stone door and ended up in this hall, unable to find a way out. Now, if he could be “swallowed” by the stone door again, would it mean that he could pass through it and exit?

Excited and amazed, Oliver didn’t think much and quickly extended his hand into the stone door. As he expected, his hand sank into the door, followed by his body.

The stone door was like a doorway made of solidified air. He effortlessly passed through it, appearing outside the door in the

next step.

Outside the stone door, the other eight people were sitting or lying down, looking exhausted. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The closest to the stone door were Wayne, Simon, Sienna, and Hailey.

Wayne and Simon were hitting the stone door with knives and tools, Sienna was caressing the door while sobbing softly, and Hailey’s eyes were red.

Gunther lay motionless while Gabriel murmured softly, but it was unclear what he was saying.

Louis and Yoseph were anxiously looking around the corridor, especially Yoseph, who kept saying, “Our food can only last for three days at most, and the water will only sustain us for one day. If we can exit through this passage, it’s fine, but we can’t get out through this cursed door!”

Oliver’s sudden appearance went unnoticed by everyone, and they seemed to have lost hope.

Oliver walked over and gently stroked Sienna’s hair. He wiped away her tears with his finger and said softly, “Sienna, don’t cry. I’m back safe and sound.”

Sienna was taken aback. She looked up and was instantly shocked and delighted. She immediately embraced him tightly and wouldn’t let go. “Oliver, you jerk. Why did you leave me… I… I don’t know if this is a dream…”

Sienna cried and sobbed loudly. She didn’t dare to let go of Oliver because she was afraid it was all just a dream, and if she let go, she would never see him again.

Oliver sighed and said, “It’s not a dream. I’m back safe and sound”

As he looked up, he saw Wayne and Simon staring at him with teary eyes.

The two men were usually resolute and expressionless, never showing their emotions. But this time, they couldn’t hold back.

Oliver reached out and patted both of them on the shoulder, nodding and saying, “I’m fine.”

Hailey also stared at him with tears strearning down her face, but she didn’t call out to him.

Oliver asked her, “What about your father? How is he?”

Hailey trembled and said with a shaky voice, “My father… H-He coughed up a lot of blood last night. I-I don’t know… I… ”

She cried while speaking, and Oliver immediately went over and squatted down to check on Gunther.

Gunther still had faint breathing, and when Oliver touched Gunther’s nose, Gunther slowly opened his eyes. There was a hint of joy in Gunther’s eyes, but his voice was weak and barely audible. “Oliver… D-Did you find it?”
