Cursed Immortality

As the crimson light covered the entire core area of the Vile Witch Valley in front of Star-Lord and his wife, time seemed to be played in reverse as images of beasts being to appeared drinking water from this place.

It continued to go backward until the virtual images of Vice Star Lord and her people came into play from her last visit.

Both of them continued to stare with killing as the time continued to go backward until they saw a group of people emerging from the water. Immediately, Star-Lord tapped on the brocade box, and the time reverse slowed down.

Although they can see these things, they can't hear anything.

Soon, they instantly spotted a lone figure from the group walking backward in the forest, and they looked at each other before following this hooded figure. After following him deep into the forest, they saw this person waving his hand in reverse, and a giant figure suddenly emerged on the ground!

This was the same scene when Jacob hexed Frugal when he was on a call with Star-Lord.

"Frugal!" The Vice Star Lord cried emotionally, "He's the one who killed him!" She roared with hatred.

The Star Lord didn't hesitate and tapped on the box again, and this time, augmented reality suddenly stopped.

The Star Lord then took out a small rectangular device and activated it while placing it close to the mysterious hooded figure, and then a white scanning light began to scan this person from head to toe.

A static voice rang from the device, "An inactive Star Watch detected!"

Both husband and wife's expressions warped upon hearing it, as they didn't expect this at all. In their mind, as long as they could use the S-Augmented Reality Lane to reverse the time period to when their children died and use this special device of the organization to scan this murderer's star watch, they could get his star ID.

But the murderer was even more cunning than they had thought as he didn't wear his active star watch but an inactive one.

The S-Augmented Reality Lane would work by hacking into the SAAI's observation database, which monitored all the activities in the Epic Plains. Nothing could hide from it.

But unlike SAAI, the S-Augmented Reality Lane could only cover a small region, and it could only be used once in that area, not again if they don't want to infuriate the SAAI and activate its killing protocols.

Furthermore, they can't hear sounds, and the limit to this augmented reality was 999 days, and they can only go back once. They can not play it forward.

They had already turned back time to 997 days just to reach this point, and they only had one use of this thing before it would teleport back to whence it came. It was a security measure to keep this extremely precious device safe and not be used by another unauthorized person.

However, now things were going south.

"I don't believe it! I can't accept it!" Vice Star-Lord was on the verge of a mental breakdown at this moment.

"Let's use the reaming time and hope that bastard left some clues." Star-Lord took a deep breath to calm down and played it again.

They watch the murderer jumping back on the tree while Frugal turns back and begins to talk with Star-Lord before they begin to turn back again.

They both walked with them, and this time, they saw the person headed back into the forest again while Frugal was still present there, and they knew this was the time when he got rid of Aven.

So, they followed him and soon arrived where Jacob dealt with Aven and Vice Star-Lord, who couldn't hold back her tears seeing her precious daughter.

The Star Lord tried again, but the result was the same: Jacob was still not wearing his star watch. So, they continued to play the keeping, watching how it all played out.

They even saw Jacob going into the water with another mercenary and coming back alone before the group again walked back into the forest.

As the time of the S-Augmented Reality Lane was coming to an end, they saw them camping, and for the last time, the Star-

Lord tried to scan Jacob again, and the result was still the same.

At this point, they were filled with despair and helplessness and once the S-Augmented Reality Lane time was up, the brocade box in his vanished with a flash.

"Hateful!" Star-Lord roared fully of unwillingness. Despite getting the S-Augmented Reality Lane, they still weren't able to get another on their children's murderer. It was like someone had ripped open their barely healed wound again.

In the end, Star-Lord tries to console his wife and says, "Although we didn't manage to catch the killer, I'd observe the way he took them. They weren't given the chance to fight before they were killed. This person has an extremely bizarre magic, and he knew who he was targeting. Even we might not be able to take him down easily. This kind of person and magic is very rare. Let's search for him this way. He can't hide forever!"

The Vice Star Lord nodded with teary eyes, "I…I know. I would never let this go until I flay his skin, pull his tendon, grind his bones, and drink his blood!" Her very word was from her heart, which was filled with hatred and vengeance.

Both of them then left dejectedly. They came with hope, yet they left with even more despair.

Jacob had no idea his decision to switch his star watch back then had suddenly saved him from becoming the enemy of the Star Hackers, or his star ID would've been on their blacklist as well.

Although he might not care about the Star-Lord and Vice Star Lord of the Epic Plains, the ATLAS in the Unique Plains was not something to be underestimated. Even the Star Network can't do anything to them as they are simply too discreet, and the powers there also have secret dealings since their gadgets are simply too helpful and unique.

They were far above the Killer Skull Society, and being their target was not something that even Dark City could handle.

Right now, he was still waiting for Captain Free Sword's response before taking another step to take down the notorious group of star pirates that had even evaded the pursued big powers from the Unique Plains.

In the meanwhile, he finally got the chance to pay attention to the Hunter's Legacy he earns in the trial plain, the Night Hunter's Aura and Spirit, a Universal Scripture of Unique Rank!
