Chapter 152: High Fever The deck suddenly became quite lively. I followed alongside Fourth Brother and watched as the netting attached to the ship's hull slowly rose, carrying a heavy load of Sea-Salvaged Porcelain. I took a quick look; some were porcelain shards, others were broken ceramic jars, most of them still covered in an earthy, muddy smell. Leaning over the railing, I watched the crew from the other research vessel transfer the netting onto their deck. Fourth Brother lit a cigarette and…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 153: Entering the Game I mentally sifted through his words again. This meant that after He Yu had surfaced, Fourth Brother and Lu Ayao had entered the head of that massive Tomb-guarding Beast alone to investigate. During that process, something must have happened, something that likely led directly to Lu Ayao developing a fever once he was back on the ship. Fourth Brother hadn't told me about any of this. He Yu had surfaced before they were even halfway through, so he didn't know about this…

- Chapter 144: A Part of the Truth? I grew interested, but from a different perspective, so I continued to press him. "Your Lu Clan has an ancestral hall? Is it in Nanjing too? Ancestral halls should have a family tree, right? I've never seen one of those in my life. Why haven't you ever mentioned this before?" Lu Ayao didn't answer, so Fourth Brother spoke up sternly. "No matter how close you are to him, you've only known him for six months. Why are you always prying into these random things? We…

- Chapter 145: Overlapping Areas I caught his subtext: "You think Fourth Brother is connected to the boss who had Liang Zicheng send me that message?" Before Lu Ayao could answer, I looked at him and denied it: "Impossible. Fourth Brother isn't that kind of person. He would never drag innocent people into his affairs, let alone commit murder to silence someone." "Then how do you explain such a coincidence?" Lu Ayao suddenly smiled and stood up straight. I instinctively took half a step back. He…

- Chapter 146: The Pier By the same logic, if Liu Sanshui's body wasn't inside the tomb, there was a high probability that he had survived or been swept away by the sea. Many things could happen in the ocean, so I didn't dare be too quick to jump to conclusions on that point. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Fourth Brother starting to walk back toward the car, so I frantically kicked He Yu to tell him to pack up. "Hurry up! Don't let Fourth Brother see these things. If he catches you, he'll…

- Chapter 147: Meeting Bai Shenxian Again Bai Shenxian was not as disheveled as when we first met. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, his hair had been cut much shorter, and his stubble was shaved clean. He looked like a completely different person—or at least like an intellectual—appearing young and clean-cut. But even if his face, once cleaned up, was enough to charm thousands, I didn't actually want to deal with him, much less see him here. A swirl of complex emotions rushed over me all…

- Chapter 148: Hidden Secrets I picked up on a useful piece of information, so I tossed aside the skin of my second persimmon and looked at Bai Shenxian. "Why? Why sew his face? Since you were the one who sewed the porcelain shards onto him, you must know what the talismans on them mean, right?" Bai Shenxian gave a mysterious smile. "This isn't something a kid should be hearing. These are secret matters. If you want to know, you'll have to give me a little something in return." He reached out and…

- Chapter 149: The Locksmith I went over and kicked He Yu a couple of times. He just rolled over, mumbled something in his sleep, and kept on sleeping. Unable to wake him, I turned around to ask Lu Ayao to help me carry him into the cabin, but when I turned, what met my eyes was Fourth Brother's extremely grim face. Fourth Brother startled me. I quickly set the beer He Yu had given me down on the ship's railing. It took me a moment to remember that I'm an adult now and having a drink isn't a problem.…
