      Nine Rings C27

      Nine Rings C27 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 27: The Nine Murals He Yu blocked me in the crevice and tossed me a fruit knife. “Stay here!” With that, he dashed out to help. But once more people showed up, I wasn’t scared anymore. Orders like that don’t work on me in moments like this—both of them had gone out, how could I just sit here like a scared dog? I picked up the fruit knife and squeezed out of the crevice. What I saw was a giant centipede-like creature, several meters long, lying on the ground with its belly split open.…
