Nine Rings C249
by MarineTL — Chapter 249: Decoding Tian Xiao looked at me and said, "If my information is correct, you already have a certain understanding of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket." His sudden question instantly severed the faint connections forming in my mind. I didn't know where he had gotten his information, but I had to admit he was right. I had already sketched out the basic internal diagram of the casket. Opening it was simply a matter of arranging the beads inside correctly; I was just one final step away. He…

Nine Rings C281
by MarineTL — Chapter 281: Long Life and the Birth of a Son (End) The scene was far too terrifying. Before Cui Fengji could squeeze the words out of his throat, Qu Zhang rolled up a sleeve and reached his hand directly into the pried-open corner of the coffin. Cui Fengji was frightened senseless by the move, sitting frozen on the spot and unable to speak. Qu Zhang used his hand to peel back the layers of silk covering the female corpse's face one by one. Her features were delicate, her lips painted with rouge, and…

Nine Rings C04
by MarineTL — Chapter 4: Several Theories Generally speaking, items that are locked tend to be of considerable value. At the time, I had several basic theories, which I will outline here to aid in understanding later on. The first possibility is that the owner of the Jade Casket never intended for anyone to open it a hundred years later, hence the nine silver ring locks. The Nine Rings are locked tightly inside the casket, forming a deadlock. However, there's a glaring flaw in this line of thinking. If the item…

Nine Rings C36
by MarineTL — Chapter 36: Jumping into Quicksand I hurriedly bent my knees, trying to crouch on the eaves like Lu A'yao, but the moment I looked down, all I saw was a pitch-black abyss. My legs instantly gave out, and I ended up kneeling on the ledge instead. But I didn’t care about looking ridiculous anymore—I started scanning the darkness, searching for He Yu. Lu A'yao crouched beside me for about two minutes before decisively standing up. Grabbing onto an iron chain, he said, “I’m going down to take a…

Nine Rings C68
by MarineTL — Chapter 68: Trapped Again No one in their right mind would willingly crawl into a coffin to keep company with the dead. So when it came to climbing up, we were all in perfect agreement. The pillar was covered in intricate carvings and decorative protrusions. The only upside to such a design was that it gave us plenty of footholds. We picked a spot with the most cutouts and started climbing. Lu A'yao led the way as usual, but this time, we had to make sure Hou Jinshan didn’t try to slip away…

Nine Rings C100
by MarineTL — Chapter 100: Xiaoqi's Suspicion Before I could react, I heard a sharp crack from my knee. It was clear the anesthesia had started to take effect, because I didn’t feel any pain. Still, the sound echoed in my ears and made my teeth ache just listening to it. Tian Xiaoqi clapped her hands and stood up, tossing me some bread from her bag. After taking a swig from her canteen, she said, “Take off the top of your wetsuit. I need to check the wound on your back.” I froze for a second, thinking how…

Nine Rings C132
by MarineTL — Chapter 132: The Return Trip I didn't expect him to ask that out of nowhere. My brain stalled for a second, and I stared at the computer screen for a long while before coming to my senses. I scratched my head, not knowing where to start, trying to stall and brush it off. This tactic worked well on my Fourth Brother, but it was useless with He Yu. He was extraordinarily sensitive when it came to interpersonal matters, so he quickly poked me with a finger. "What's the matter? You've already said so…

Nine Rings C164
by MarineTL — Chapter 164: The One Who Set the Trap As I walked further, I soon saw a sign that instantly calmed my surge of anger. Standing right in the middle of the path, it bore several large characters: "DANGER AREA, NO ENTRY." I adjusted my flashlight to broaden its beam, shining it on the identical doors and windows behind the sign. In this so-called "danger area," those doors and windows were still wide open, with test tubes and glass shards scattered along the corridor beside them. It was unclear what…
