Chapter 113: The Tomb Raider Who Went to His Death Chen Canghai was kneeling beside me to rest. Hearing what I said, he made a few hand gestures to me. If you saw these gestures often enough, you could guess their general meaning. He Yu hadn't seen them much, so he didn't understand and tapped me on the shoulder. "Wh-what is that? Wh-what does that mean again?" I explained, "He might have gone through some systematic training in Sanda or something before." Chen Canghai nodded after hearing my…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 114: A Basketful of Guesses He Yu still hadn't fully processed it: "But other than half of it being torn off, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this page. Isn't it just another blank sheet of paper?" "That's not it. Only the top half of this page remains, while the bottom half was torn off," I explained to him. "Normally, if you wanted to destroy paper evidence, you'd tear out the whole page like the previous ones. But only the bottom half of this page was torn off, and the…

- Chapter 115: The Underground Palace Sewer As soon as I finished speaking, He Yu shoved me away with his hand. "Go, go, go! Out of the way! Honestly, this place isn't even that big. The three of us must have searched it two or three times by now. Where's this passage of yours? There isn't even a trace of it!" He slung an arm over my shoulder. "Xiao Yao, you didn't remember it wrong, did you?" I slapped his hand away and said firmly, "Impossible! That map is burned into my mind. The passage…

- Chapter 116: A Miraculous Antidote To be honest, I was a bit anxious. The flashlight that had fallen into the water was completely smashed. It was the one Lu Ayao had clipped to his waist before falling into the groove. Flashlights like this were usually quite sturdy, so I guessed he must have taken a heavy impact or suffered a severe collision when he fell. This wasn't good. Without waiting for He Yu and Chen Canghai to catch up, stumbling through the water behind me, I shut my mouth and lunged…

- Chapter 117: Trust Crisis What the hell? For a second, I thought I'd misheard. My mind buzzed with a sharp shock. Lu Ayao was saying my blood could cure the corpse poison in his system? This joke wasn't funny at all. If my blood really could cure corpse poison, it wouldn't make any sense if I weren't hauled off to some medical research institute to be dissected. Despite my internal skepticism, my body reacted instinctively. I reached behind me for my knife. My reasoning was simple: regardless of…

- Chapter 106: Blowing Up the Buddha The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda was, as I understood it, a stone tower meant to suppress and perform rituals of release for the souls of the dead. Lu Ayao told me that the incantations chiseled into the tower's surface were actually verses from the Diamond Sutra, which meant the chanting I heard was likely intended for wandering spirits. "What do you mean? Why can't any of you hear it when I can?" I protested, thinking to myself, What, does the Bodhisattva think my soul…

- Chapter 108: The Underground Palace The second before I lost consciousness, in addition to the sight of Tian Xiaoqi moving as if in slow motion, there was an incredibly crisp sound. It was the noise of stone colliding with stone, accompanied by the heavy rumble of a mechanism being triggered. The entire mountain began to vibrate. A piece of rubble struck me squarely, and with a sharp pain in my shoulder, I quickly drifted into oblivion. However, I woke up soon after. Unlike previous times, I was…

- Chapter 109: The Wrong Path Fifteen minutes to memorize an entire map was no simple feat, especially since the structure was frustratingly complex. After Qiao Sangui finished speaking, I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my brain to stay calm, then quickly looked down to start memorizing. When a person focuses intently on a single task, time always seems to slip away with inexplicable speed. After carefully examining every section of the map, I had essentially committed it to memory. As soon as the…
