Cursed Immortality

Chapter 75 Killer Skull Society (2)

?Skull No. D-198938833 felt like he was stared at by a demon and horridly speak, "I-I… I think he was here for the tracker in that bull's body because it can tell us locations where it has been for the past three months.

"N-no, I'm sure of it because if they wanted to track the letter, they would retract the footsteps of the tiger bull to see where all it happened and find clues about it. Furthermore, I think that guy was after the titan iron cage as well because it is worth a small fortune! Please, I know nothing else!"

Jacob deeply looked at the crying Skull No. D-198938833 with squinted eyes.

'The tracking device can be traced back to the bull's location? If that's the case, they might really be here for that letter. But I still can't reach any conclusion right now.'

He said, "Tell me about this Killer Skull Society."

Skull No. D-198938833 finally felt some relief when Jacob stop questioning about the mission.

He said, "It's a Dark Organization without any ties with any race or region, even if they had, with our ranking I simply didn't have the right to know. But one thing is for certain, they had ample resources.

"They approached me on their own accord with an invitation and if I want to join them, then I have to complete the assignment in that invitation to prove my loyalty and resolve.

"Then, if they are satisfied with my response… they… they sent another invitation with my special ID Number. Any future contacts were done with the same method to insure their secrecy.

"The current mission was the same, but this was my first time attending a team mission and meeting with others members of the society as well."

Jacob couldn't help but though with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, 'They're like the sleeper cells of a terrorist organization, huh?'

"What's the purpose of this Killer Skull Society and why do they approach you?" He questioned.

"Their dictum is they are changing the world for the better and seeking a justifiable position for us powerless. I was just a random cowardly nobody who was always bullied by the rich and that's why I agree with their viewpoint and joined their ranks.

"They not only give me a purpose but also wealth and help me see the hope. Nevertheless, I'm not frantic enough to die for this cause as well. I'll leave to the common region and you won't see me ever again." Skull No. D-198938833 plead.

Jacob's lips curled upward. "Man, a terrorist society, really? What about the ranks? Your name is your ID, right?"

"They had the same rank as mercenary agency A, B, C, D, E, F, but each rank had a skull word attached to it. But we can't move up ranks like the mercenaries. We have to complete missions to move on the ladder.

"As for my name, from the moment we join the society, our names become our ID numbers. They encourage us to state our ID numbers instead of our names to show just how many skulls we have after us.

"Furthermore, the lesser the number the older and stronger the Skull is, I only know this much about it."

"Hmm, interesting. So, you have no loyalty toward your kind anymore? If they asked you to cause a massacre in your kingdom, will you do it?" Jacob looked at him nonchalantly.

"As long as it won't endanger my life, I will. In fact, any member could do the same. They probably selected us because we have no belonging to the community. However, they never gave me such assignments to harm my kind." He answered.

"Last question, can you read the content of this letter?" Jacob put his hand in his side pocket and took out the same encrypted letter he looted from the three hob trolls.

Skull No. D-198938833 eyes widen when he saw the letter in Jacob's hand and he looked at him in shock, "So, you were the one who intercepted the cargo?!"

Jacob shrug his shoulders and coolly reply, "I was just in the area and I even asked those three to hand over that tiger bull nicely. But they disagree and now you can imagine after what happened then since I'm standing here while they're not."

Skull No. D-198938833 expression turned even more grim as he looked at the nonchalant human, 'So, the bull escaped from him and he was also searching for it and we happened to bump into him?!'

He took a deep breath and said, "This is my first time seeing those symbols. I never received that kind of letter. But whoever this letter was meant for, they're at the very high ranking of the society and they might've required this letter since they send us here to search for it."

Jacob sneered, "Can't they just send another one? Why this bravado?"

"This I don't know, but if this letter was from the higher region, then I'm afraid the upper echelon in the uncommon region won't dare to report this blunder unless they're certain they can't handle the situation themselves. They might've been afraid of the punishment." Skull No. D-198938833 truthfully told.

Jacob thought a moment and nodded. He also thought the same.

Especially after concluding that this Killer Skull Society was like a terrorist organization, and a blunder in such an organization was unacceptable.

'This mean, they'll try every means to get their hands on this letter and continue to investigate unless they hit a stone wall. Well, as long as they didn't have any A rank here, they would only deliver me more 'gifts' and make my life easier.' He suddenly smiled deviously.

"Thank you for your information. You can scram now." Jacob glanced at Skull No. D-198938833 and gave him the go signal.

Skull No. D-198938833 had already stopped the bleeding from his severed arm and he was waiting for these exact words. He spun around the ran at full speed.

"Boom!"

A gunshot ran and the next moment, Skull No. D-198938833's skull was blown open!

Jacob scoffed disdainfully as stored his revolver away, "I only say I let you run, not let you go free!"
