Cursed Immortality

However, Jacob's expression changed when he saw Decker's hand tremble when he touched the stone lever.

He barked, "Stop him!"

With his big hand, Pig Head instantly reacted and pulled Decker back from his head and nearly crashed it.

Jacob sighed in relief and uttered coldly, "I knew something was not right since you didn't try to put any resistance, just like last time. So, that lever is the trap, or it's a trap, as well as the key to opening this door. Since you're able to reach it so easily, this also confirmed my theory, and when you wanted to trigger the trap, the parasite gem stopped you. Heh, you're a schemer, little Deck. Just speak and let it out."

Decker's stoic expression turned into a maniac, and he roared, "Human, no matter what, you can never leave this place and die, die, die… when all those Nutrition Liquids run out, you will die here… hahaha… die."

Jacob sighed. He knew very well how it felt if someone stole your hard work right under your nose and then profited from that work big time.contemporary romance

Furthermore, Decker had not only lost his life works to Jacob, but he also lost a journal that guaranteed immortality. This kind of hatred was nothing compared to anything. It was far deeper than killing one father or mother.

That's why Decker will do anything to kill Jacob, even if it costs him his life. It will all be worth it if he can take Jacob down with him!

"You're an idiot. Since you give me clues, this is enough for me to figure it out. Let me see." Jacob's eyes were glued to Decker's twisted face.

He said, "Since it's a lever, it can move up or down or even can be turned around, and you try to move it, which means it would be a disaster if I try to move it, right?"

Decker's right eye twitched slightly at this moment, and Jacob's smile widened.

"So, I only have two options now, either put it out or push it inside like a button, and I know someone like you makes it even trickier, so let's go with the first option!"

Decker's expression finally changed, and he barked madly, "You bastard! How did you find out!? Just why can't you die?!"

It was just as Jacob described. Decker had set this lever up as a gigantic trap, and he knew anyone would try to move it, and it would be their doom at that time.

He even calculated that anyone who can reach this place will be someone from the inside and want to escape, so their mind would be in a mess and all they could think about would be freedom, and this would greatly raise their chances of triggering the trap!

But Jacob saw through it, and how could he not? He was someone in the weapon business, and traps were also a part of the weapon industry for a long time.

How could this measly mind trap fool Jacob, who can make a trap far deadlier than this!

"I said you're an idiot, so act like one. There's no need for you to play smart. You can never escape my grasp!" said Jacob coldly.

He spun around and walked back to the staircase and put the metal door in front of him, and after making sure he was completely covered, he shouted, "Pig Head, pull that stone lever out!"

Bam…

Thereupon, he slammed the door shut. Although he was confident in this theory, he won't be so brave as to confirm it himself when he had two meat shields.

However, nothing happened after waiting for a while, and the cave remained silent. Jacob smiled in victory, opened the door, and reached Pig Head and Decker's position again.

He saw a crack had appeared right in the center of that stone wall, and he said with a hint of anticipation, "Little Deck, if it's safe to open the wall, then move, and if it isn't, then remain still!"

Decker's expression filled with despair and unwillingness, but he was helpless, and his leg moved as he cursed Jacob, "Bastard human, you'll die when just you wait!"

"We have to see about it." Jacob chuckled coldly and completely ignored Decker's curses and said to Pig Head, "Open it."

Pig Head pushed the stone wall, and with the slightest effort, it was completely opened outward like two stone doors.

Jacob finally saw just ten meters away, a stone ladder was going upward, and his heart was filled with ecstasy, but he didn't make any rash move.

He again looked at Decker and said with a smile, "Little Deck, there's a stone ladder. If it's safe, move, and if there are traps, remain standing."

Decker's entire body trembled as if he wanted to move, but he wasn't strong enough to overpower the parasite gem.

"Heh, stop, it just started, and I'm looking forward to more information." Jacob chucked in a mocking tone, which made Decker even madder.

"Tell me if the stone ladder is the trap. If yes, move, and if no, remain standing…

"Is the floor have any trap door, if…

"Does a weight-trap…

"Is step number three safe…

"Is step number nine…

"Is there a stone door or anything hiding the exit…

"Any sense type trap…"

Decker felt like his mind was spinning. Jacob had asked so many questions about traps. Actually, he had never heard about some of them, and he suddenly remembered what Jacob had told him when they spoke the first time.

'Could he be a… reincarnated person…'

An icy chill ran down Decker's spine with just the thought of it. But he quickly threw that thought away from his head because it was just too unrealistic.

But he couldn't suppress it completely because Jacob was just too sharp for a weak human, and he could easily see through a veteran like him despite his young age.

Only someone who had gone through all these experiences could know this much and know how to deal with it, and Jacob was just too much of an anomaly!
