Cursed Immortality

Chapter 23 Immortal Making Journal

Jacob slowly moved towards the hidden compartment while holding his breath. His eyes were fixed on the gray wrapping.

Although he knew this might really be just a sham, he still didnʼt want to believe it completely and hoped there might be some truth hidden in that journal.

Jacob extant his hand, which was slightly trembling from anxiety and fear at the same time.

He unwrapped the gray cloth, and a thin white book appeared in front of Jacobʼs shimmering eyes.

This book was two inches thin and looked highly ordinary. If he didnʼt read Deckerʼs journal, he might have thought this was a newly purchased book by him.

Moreover, there was a black-inked title on the white book cover, which was a collection of strange symbols that he obviously didnʼt understand.

Without any further delay, Jacob extended his hand toward the book. He wanted to see if he could read its contents with no prior understanding of it, just like Decker.

If it worked, he had no choice but to believe this book, which he also wanted. But if it didnʼt, then he could only curse his luck.

Because he canʼt understand any of those symbols on the cover, Decker would never teach him even if he begged.

However, the moment Jacobʼs hand touched the book. His heart jolts thunderously…

More accurately, it was not his heart but that mysterious strand of energy that always seemed dormant and completely under Jacobʼs control.

It wasnʼt just the strand of energy but the dark pendant which he got from Decker, and right now, it was hanging on Jacobʼs neck, also starting to heat up!

Jacob was shocked by this strange turn of events, but he knew it all started when he touched the white book.

Any sane person would instantly retrieve their hand, but Jacob didnʼt. On the contrary, not only did he not retract his hand, he even gripped the book!

Jacobʼs thoughts differed completely from others.

Firstly, Jacob deemed this was an opportunity, a life-changing opportunity!

Because after controlling that strand of energy for months and circulating it in every part of his body, he knew it wasnʼt harmful to him at all.

Secondly, when he touched the book, that pendant also reacted, and from Deckerʼs journal, he knew this pendant was found with this book, so it gave him even more courage to take this gamble!

Thirdly, Jacob now knew this strand of energy was the product of Deckerʼs experiments, according to this book, and since it reacted to his touch, then this meant there was a big reason behind it!

Lastly and most importantly, Jacob was a reincarnated person and someone insane for immortality, and as long as he saw hope, heʼll do anything to get it, and he saw a big hope in this book!

As Jacob gripped the book, he felt the eager sensation from the energy becoming stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to jump out of his chest.

As for the pendant, it suddenly started to shift toward Jacobʼs heart like a pendulum on its own!

It was evident for Jacob to guess that it was moving towards the energy or the energy was making it move towards it!

When the pendant finally fixed on the position where his heart was and also right above the energy strand, Jacob suddenly shrieked in pain.

He clearly felt the energy coming out while drilling through his heart

He wanted to clench his chest, but he didnʼt and endured. He was afraid to interrupt whatever was happening, nor did he let go of the book.

Not only that, but he just looked like a lunatic while screaming to avert his pain while continuing to stand still.

After ten seconds, which were like ten years for Jacob, he finally felt something drilling out of his skin, and he watched as a very thin crimson needle came out of his chest as blood flowed from the small hole.

Like a bolt of lightning, that red needle instantly passed through from the hollow pendant and directly entered the white book in Jacobʼs hand!

However, this wasnʼt the end. The next moment, the white book in Jacobʼs hand turned into a white streak and entered the black pendant handing on his neck!

Jacob was breathing and coughing heavily as blood trickled down from both corners of his lips, and his chest was also dyed red. A hole in the heart wasnʼt a joke. Even a small one was enough to kill.

However, Jacobʼs eyes were shining like the sun when he saw what happened, but he also knew he couldnʼt remain like this, or he might really die.

He said in a hoarse voice, ”P-Pig Head, take me to your glass cell and activate that black liquid and protect me.”

Pig Head listlessly followed Jacobʼs command and arranged him inside his own glass cell, which was much faster than Deckerʼs glass cell.

Jacob also decided to use Deckerʼs black liquid just in case. He heard Decker saying that this liquid was the highest-grade healing liquid he had stored here.

After arranging Jacobʼs body in the glass cell, Pig Head pressed a black button which was right inside the glass cell, and afterward, it closed, and light black liquid filled from the bottom.

Jacob was almost unconscious because of blood loss, and he only felt a freezing sensation from that black liquid and warmth from the pendant on his neck before he fell unconscious.

Pig head remained still outside, protecting Jacob as he commanded.

Inside the glass cell filled with black liquid, if Jacob were conscious, he would shock to see the pendant on his chest currently glowing in a white hue as the eyes of the snake were glowing brightly.

Suddenly, something emerged from the interior of the snake ring.

Two white lines slowly form from the interior and connect to the opposite side while twisting in a ʼ~ʼ shape and forming a white ʼ∞ʼ symbol in the empty interior!
