Chapter 139: Number 434 Liang Zicheng lay on the ground, cowering and begging for mercy. As soon as I moved the stick away, he suddenly scrambled up and tried to slip away. I reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and hauled him right back. "Look, man, I was really wrong! I'll definitely pay you back once we get back, okay? Just let me go home!" I didn't actually care much about the money he made from reselling my two paintings. Liang Zicheng's family had always been poor, so to win scholarships,…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 140: Special Savings I suddenly grew excited, the cold blood in my veins seemingly boiling in that instant. I lowered my phone and shone the light up and down the door again, taking a silent, deep breath. My heart was a mix of trepidation and excitement. Had I really found the right place? The room number was 434. Could this be the official site where that secret project from 1951 began? If so, did this prove that the 1951 project and the current Nine Rings Project were actually one and the…

- Chapter 141: Deep Coma After hanging up the phone, I headed straight for the location Lu Ayao had given me. At the same time, a faint, ominous premonition stirred in my heart because the place he described was an intersection. By the time I arrived, the scene was already a chaotic mess. The broad lanes were almost completely covered in splatters of blood. Aside from the blood and unrecognizable fragments of organs, there were fallen car parts. The brake marks from the dump truck stretched at least a…

- Chapter 142: Strange Occurrences 1 I woke up to the swaying of the car. As soon as I opened my eyes, He Yu's big face was right in front of me, scaring me half to death. He chuckled at me and called out, "He's awake, he's awake! Master Si, he's burning up with a fever this high, yet you still insisted on bringing him to such a dangerous place. That's really not right." Immediately after, I heard a familiar voice drift back faintly from the front passenger seat. "Even his classmates met with…

- Chapter 143: Strange Occurrences 2 The deep mountains were rugged and steep, making outsiders a rare sight. Consequently, all the villagers—some several dozen people—went out to take a look. The young man went too, but when he saw the stranger's face, he was terrified out of his wits. That man looked identical to the corpse he had found in the cave three days ago! Even the clothes he wore were the exact same! The young man was scared out of his wits, but he didn't dare say anything on the…

- Chapter 133 Bai Shenxian Generally speaking, whenever Lu Ayao came in, He Yu and I had to head out. Whether he was sleeping or completely ignoring what we were talking about, his presence made it pretty much impossible for us to talk freely. So when He Yu went out and didn't come back after ten minutes, I started climbing down from my bunk. Once my feet hit the floor, I saw Lu Ayao lying on the bottom bunk with his eyes closed, so I tiptoed out as well. As soon as I stepped outside and turned my…

- Chapter 134: The Profiteering Divine Doctor Hearing He Yu talk with such certainty made it sound genuinely bizarre, but regardless, hearsay is never as convincing as seeing something with your own eyes. This only made me more determined to make the trip to Luoyang. We sat for a while longer before heading off to sleep. Those two days on the train were pretty boring. At first, He Yu and I were still in the mood to fool around, but eventually, we ate so much instant ramen we wanted to throw up. By the…

- Chapter 137: Selling a Painting The next day we caught a bus back to Kaifeng. A couple of days later, He Yu packed his bags and went back to his hometown. I was so busy with the start of the semester that my feet barely touched the ground. At first, He Yu and I worried that Lu Ayao would be bored staying by himself, but it turned out we were overthinking it. Lu Ayao spent all day in his room tinkering with those diagrams of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. He was so focused that if I didn't…
