Cursed Immortality



"Tell me who you are and what your affiliation is, or no deal!

When Jacob asks that question, Miss 70,469's expression under their hood turns ugly because this is the only thing she couldn't disclose to anyone, even if she wanted to, unless she wants to commit suicide.

However, feeling all of her accumulated sand quickly exhausting away, she knew that while there was this terrible monster standing there watching her like prey, if she didn't do something, she'd be as good as dead for this term, which she desperately wanted to avoid. "I can tell you anything but. Please understand. I can't say anything despite wanting to. You should be able to understand this much?" Miss 70,469 tries to reason with Jacob.

How could Jacob not understand? It was quite clear that she was under some kind of restriction, like the oath contract or something similar, and he winced since this was the only chance to learn about these hourglass freaks' backgrounds.

Autarch was already out of commission after what happened with Sebastian and was still recuperating. Moreover, with how mysterious these hourglass freaks were and their uncanny abilities, Jacob didn't dare put Autarch at risk; his death would be a massive blow to Jacob's resources.

Nonetheless, he still wanted some clues, so he asked another question, "Then tell me, those people on discs that blow themselves up, did they belong to the same organization as yours? If yes, and you can't disclose this informant, then reply like this or remain silent. If not, then tell me their background."

Miss 70,469 was startled by Jacob's way of questioning. She didn't expect him to be able to find this kind of loophole, and even if she remained silent, he would easily get his answer. But she wanted a bargaining chip to escape this calamity, and Jacob wasn't making it easy at all.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "First, I need you to sign an oath contract with me that you will not take action against me no matter what, and in return, I can tell you anything I know as long as I can!"

Jacob already got his answer as his eyes shimmered with cold light and thought, 'So, these fuckers were after me since the Rare Plains? But why did they stop after that and not appear in the epic plains, and now they are coming after me too hard with all these schemes and preparations...'

"I can tell that you don't have much time, and when your little trick runs out, I can take my sweet time getting all the information I want from you, and trust me, if you think that you are undying, then it's your biggest delusion." Jacob coldly replied, and he directly stabbed Miss 70,469's heart since she knew he wasn't making assumptions-it was a fact!

Furthermore, Jacob was also calculating and testing something amidst all this chaos, which was his heart reacting to those strange hourglasses. Although he could still sense the pull, it wasn't as strong as before when his cursed heart overtook it and greedily pulled those hourglasses towards him.

This means that this strange phenomenon or ability only occurred within a certain range. At this moment, he was standing around twenty meters away from Miss 70,469, who was using this strange ability that gave him a sense of danger. She seemed to be stuck while using it in a single place, which meant either she couldn't run away or something was blocking her escape route, which was mostly like that dome above.

He also saw how this formation affected these five, which could only mean that it didn't discriminate between friend and foe. She was protecting herself not only from Jacob but also from this formation.

"If you think that you can escape that treacherous bastard's clutches, then you are thoroughly delusional yourself!" Miss 70,469 suddenly roared hatefully. She knew that reasoning with this guy was simply impossible at this point, so she decided to try opening his eyes to reality. "I admit you are strong, very strong to even capable of surviving all that and resisting the Soul Serving Formation of that bastard who is using an unknown power to fuel it. But if you think that you can fight him head-on, then I hate to break it to you, but you will suffer a terrible defeat and lose your life because of your arrogance.

"Although I don't know how you provoked that treacherous guy to go this far to eliminate you, his means are out of your wildest expectations. If I tell you that the person after you was once a Legendary Being, would you still have your arrogance?!"

Jacob was startled and frowned because he didn't find any lies in Miss 70,469 words, but her words threw him completely out of the loop since he knew legendary ranks could exist in lesser galaxies unless they regressed.

But this was even stranger because if he was a legendary rank, then he should be someone from the middle galaxies. Then how did he appear here? Furthermore, given how familiar Miss 70,469 seemed with this mysterious enemy of his, he could guess they either belonged to the same organization or were pretty close. He inclined towards the former.

Still, this revelation was enough to make Jacob draw his guard to the highest as he asked gravely, "So, what are you suggesting? Should I believe you so you can help me get out of here while you, yourself, are like a trapped rat in this cage? Even if I want to believe you, I don't see it happening!"

Miss 70,469 finally saw hope at this moment as she quickly said, "I know it's a long shot, but as long as you don't come after me, I can tell you the weak point in this barrier, and with your prowess, you can easily break it. Once this barrier is gone, that bastard would be completely exposed, and then you can duke it out with him as much as you want, and I even owe you a favor.

"This is your only chance to stop him from doing whatever he's up to, and I can tell you he's doing something crazy that could even alarm the laws of Zodiac Plains. Because I can sense something terrible is about to take place, and I don't want to be here to witness it!"

Again, Jacob detects no lies from Miss 70,469, and this time, his expression finally changes when he hears about Zodiac Plains 'laws. Although he doesn't know what that means, it sounds anything but good.

Taking a deep breath, he looked towards the invisible barrier. His eyes widened when dense dark particles began gathering all over the dome, and his heart palpitated. He finally believed Miss 70,469's words!

'It seems she's right. As for detecting weak points in this barrier, I can do the same. In fact, I already knew that. That's how I was going to break that barrier when these guys were sent out!' Jacob

scoffed secretly.

"What are you suggesting?" He asked in a grim tone, not revealing his actual thoughts. Miss 70,469 finally sighed in relief as she knew Jacob believed her. Although she wasn't a combat type, she had a special vision that could see through universal mysteriousness. Although it wasn't on the level of Jacob's Eyes of Judge, it still originated from another optical ability on the same level!

"First, you need to sign an oath contract since I can't fully trust you!" Miss 70,469 stated her only condition!
