Nine Rings C165
by MarineTL — Chapter 165: The White Corpse Turtle Immortal Hearing those words, I felt the hair on my arms stand on end. No matter how I interpreted that sentence, it felt incredibly bizarre. It was clearly a statement of foresight. There was no way the news of me learning the Art of Mechanisms could have reached the Tian Family; at least, that was what I believed at the time. But how did Tian Xiao know? How could he be so certain that I would eventually learn the Art of Mechanisms? Had my grandfather…

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…

Nine Rings C163
by MarineTL — Chapter 163: Going Berserk The person holding a knife to my throat was actually Tian Xiaoqi! Damn it, I never would have guessed in a million years that the person I'd just saved was this broad! But how did she get here? Had she been trailing our team the whole time without us noticing? "What are you doing here?" I blurted out. Tian Xiaoqi immediately made a shushing gesture. She lowered the knife from my throat and pointed it toward the wardrobe door. Clearly, she had also noticed the slimy,…

Chapter
Nine Rings C162
by MarineTL — Chapter 162: Footprints I really hadn't entered this place on my own. At the time, Bai Shenxian said we'd been washed in by the current. Holding my flashlight, I thought back over it for a moment and felt like something didn't quite add up. The current had swept us in fast, and I'd somehow gotten separated from Liang Si. That proved there must be multiple passages connected to the Tomb-guarding Beast, which was the only way we could have been scattered into different Side Chambers. But if this was…

Nine Rings C161
by MarineTL — Chapter 161: The Abandoned Research Institute I huddled in the corner as the world returned to silence once more. I crouched there with my eyes shut, waiting for a long while, but no monsters came rushing out. Only then did I slowly move my backpack aside, trembling as I swept my flashlight toward the source of the noise. Under the beam of my flashlight, I saw porcelain shards scattered across the floor. The ceramics in this burial chamber were all placed inside niches in the stone wall. There was no…

Chapter
Nine Rings C160
by MarineTL — Chapter 160: A Desperate Measure Judging by Bai Shenxian's expression, he didn't seem to be joking. However, to me, as the person it had actually happened to, the story sounded like pure fantasy. Still, it quickly brought to mind some strange occurrences from my hometown. I had heard my grandfather talk about many instances of children crying incessantly at night. In mild cases, they just wouldn't stop sobbing; in more severe cases, they would unconsciously sit up in bed, talking, covering their…

Nine Rings C159
by MarineTL — Chapter 159: Ghost Possession I swam a little closer, using my flashlight to scan the silk wrapping the corpse. The dark silk was heavily patterned with cloud motifs, and gold threads were woven into the fabric. Under the beam of my light, these gold threads floated loosely where the silk had frayed or torn. It was then that I noticed a rotted, discolored wooden plaque hanging from the corpse's waist. Only a single character was written on it. I hadn't studied the scripts of various dynasties, so I…

Chapter
Nine Rings C158
by MarineTL — Chapter 158: The Male Corpse I must have been blind to miss a Tomb-guarding Beast of that size, I scolded myself inwardly. I also had to admit I was overly tense. Sometimes, the more a person prepares for the worst, the easier it is to mess things up. I was just that kind of person. This was my first time leading a team underwater, and in a place as deep as the South China Sea, no less. Besides, with Liang Si right beside me, I hadn't planned on letting people split up to search from the…
