Nine Rings C180
by MarineTL — Chapter 180: Whispers As soon as he said those words, I clearly heard Tian Xiaoqi and He Yu gasp behind me. I was the only one who didn't have much of a reaction; his statement was within my expectations. I had already entertained this hypothesis, though I hadn't sought confirmation from Lu Ayao. On one hand, I felt the matter was harmless. If a Lu Clan ancestor truly had been involved in building this tomb, and our team happened to include the current Clan Head, it should be a good thing for our…

Chapter
Nine Rings C181
by MarineTL — Chapter 181: The Wall of the Dead But how could there be people talking inside the walls! The realization made my entire body go rigid. Lu Ayao didn't loosen his grip on me at all, clearly afraid that if my terror reached a certain point, I might bolt and crash into the wall. My eyes had mostly adjusted to the darkness by now. I opened them wide, desperately trying to see if any strange new figures had appeared in the tunnel. Unfortunately, despite my searching, nothing new had emerged. Instead,…

Nine Rings C182
by MarineTL — Chapter 182: Internal Strife He Yu squinted as he leaned forward in front of me. After observing for a moment, he let out a sound of confusion. "Huh? That's not right. This doesn't look like it was built out of stone. Look at the material. How does it look so much like concrete?" His eyesight had always been good, at least much better than mine. Hearing him say that, I hurriedly leaned into the beam of his flashlight to take a look. At a glance, I realized He Yu might actually be right this time. The…

Chapter
Nine Rings C183
by MarineTL — Chapter 183: Analysis Looking back, what I said really did have a "waking a dreamer with a single sentence" effect. Everyone's mood was terrible. If I hadn't restrained myself just now, and my first reaction to He Yu hitting me had been to strike back, we would probably all be brawling in this tunnel right now. The most ridiculous thing wouldn't be getting hurt in an accident, but being beaten senseless by your own teammates and bleeding to death here. That sudden wave of irritability had appeared…

Nine Rings C176
by MarineTL — Chapter 176: Seeking Death I watched in silence as Lu Ayao walked toward me. He ignored me at first, instead looking the White Corpse Turtle Immortal up and down where it was pinned to the wall, split in two by his Mountain-Cleaving Machete. Only after confirming it was thoroughly dead did he pull the blade free. Blood dripped all over the floor as he drew it out, bypassing me to sit in a dark corner of the passage. I sat where I was, taking a long moment to recover my wits. From the darkness about…

Nine Rings C177
by MarineTL — Chapter 177: Joining Forces Lu Ayao crushed the cigarette in his hand. I knew he must have come to his senses. I told myself that no matter what, reaching that realization was the first step. After all, he had just witnessed the corpse of a loved one; no matter how strong his mental state, there had to be an adjustment period. I would have to help him work through the rest once we got out of here. I nodded and began packing my things, ready to shoulder my bag again. Just then, I heard a rustling…

Chapter
Nine Rings C174
by MarineTL — Chapter 174: The Yin-Yang Thirteen Palaces I realized something immediately. I had been wrong from the very start when I first saw that string of numbers. I had been calculating based on what each part of the code represented after the founding of New China: for example, "434" stood for the 434 Archaeological Team, and "1951" likely referred to the year 1951. But I had forgotten one thing: the code for the Nine Rings Project was "4341951009." It didn't just refer to a single part. To truly understand…

Chapter
Nine Rings C175
by MarineTL — Chapter 175: Spirit Channeling It was impossible for any mechanism to silently move a massive, solid stone door to another location. This was a matter of physics, not metaphysics; moving something that heavy would inevitably make noise. With that realization, our previous "mechanism theory" fell apart on its own. But if it wasn't a large-scale mechanism, what else in a tomb could move a door without making a sound? He Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Um, Xiao Yao, let me brainstorm for a…
