Cursed Immortality

"Die… Die… Die…"

Decker had lost his mind after he found out Jacob had got his everything, even his precious life work.

"Shut up."

Jacob was irritated by Decker's maniacal behavior, and he knew Decker was a hopeless case and he was on his own. But he still had Decker's journal and only read a fraction. He might find something useful, and he also had two new books, which were even more helpful than Decker's journal.

Decker's stoic face appeared again after Jacob made him shut up, but his thoughts were in a mess and despair.

Jacob looked at Pig Head, who seemed somewhat drained. He finally remembered he had forgotten to put him in that blue liquid, or he didn't let him drink it.

"Pig Head, go drink two buckets of blue liquid." He also understood why Decker gave such a command to Pig Head.

'It seems Pig Head's body is somehow special. Although he didn't have a heartbeat or breathing, he could understand and observe fine. I have to look into it after I get a chance,' Jacob mused.

However, his expression changed when he saw Pig Head draw a bucket of extremely light blue liquid, almost transparent!

He knew something was amiss and quickly strode there. When he looked into the well, his heart turned cold because he could see the bottom, and from his estimate, only five gallons worth of liquid was left, but it was almost transparent.

The well was fifteen cubic meters in diameter and twenty-meter-deep. It was divided into three portions of five meters with a metallic wall.

He quickly opened the next lid, saw the green liquid, and sighed in relief because it was more than half filled, and he couldn't see the bottom of it, and it still didn't lose its color.

As for the last portion, it was only four to five meters filled with dark liquid.

"The Blue liquid is about to end, while the green one is still more than half full, and the black one is the most potent one of all of them. I can't use them recklessly anymore, and Pig Head needed them to sustain himself. Fuck, one problem after another!" Jacob cursed under his breath.

He had almost forgotten Decker was using these liquids for god knows when, and they were something exhaustible.

Blue was the weakest of these three liquids, followed by green and then black.

He could see a large hole at the bottom in the blue liquid portion, and he knew the liquid entered the cells from there and again exited back.

He even felt nauseated when he thought about how this liquid was used again and again while everyone was soaking in it.

"Let's just hope I won't need to enter that cell anymore." Jacob sighed bitterly.

Pig Head was also done with his 'meal' and finally started recovering.

"This blue liquid could only last a week, and then I have to let him drink the green one, which might take a year or two to finish. Which means I have to leave this place within two or three years!" Jacob quickly calculated, "But first, I have to reach the outside and then think further after seeing just how deep we're in the forest."

Jacob nodded and commanded, "Pig Head, carry him and follow me."

Pig Head grabbed Decker's head from his palm, picked him up like some rage doll, and followed Jacob, who was making his way toward the staircase.

'I'm finally going out…'

Jacob felt a little bit of excitement and reminiscence when he thought about how he was reincarnated and opened his eye in this room and experienced hell before finally turning things around and even getting a cursed book that promise him immortality…

'It all just like a bad yet pleasing dream.' He sighed as he ascended the stairs barefoot.

He was still wearing a cape and wrapping another cape around his waist.

Decker's boots were too short for him, and he also didn't have any clothes of his size, so he could only do with this for now.

Jacob finally reached the steel door, put his hand on the handle, and breathed deeply before he twisted it open!

A creaking sound rang in the deadly silence when the door was opened inwardly.

A pitch-black corridor appeared, which looked bottomless abyss.

Jacob had already carried a small lamp that Decker had bought. It was lit in white light.

The pathway was almost illuminated, but Jacob still didn't see the end of it.

"Just which shithole did you dig this room in?" Jacob couldn't help but exclaim, "Put him here."

Pig Head does as he said and puts stoic Decker right on the doorstep's center.

"Oh, stubborn little shit, just like before, listen carefully; you're standing in the center of the hidden room's door, and we're standing right at the pathway's edge, which leads to the outside. Start walking on the safe route!"

Jacob knows Decker can't control his thoughts, not right now, since he had suffered a huge mental blow.

Decker took a step and slowly walked.

"Follow his every footstep, and if he stopped, then stop." He ordered Pig Head as he handed the lamp to him as well.

Pig Head followed suit, and Jacob followed right behind Pig Head's footsteps.

Decker walked straight without changing directions, and Jacob carefully observed the surroundings.

'This was an underground cave naturally formed, and Decker chose this as his hidden base. I have to admit. This is an ideal place if someone wants to hide,' Jacob felt glorified.

In the end, no trap came their way as Decker finally reached the end. There was a stone wall.

Jacob frowned. 'Could it be there aren't any traps? But how could it be this guy would not compromise his safety?

He saw Decker move toward the right side of the wall and crouch down.

Jacob's eyes finally landed on a small stone lever at the right corner of the stone wall!
