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 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,…

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 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 C166
by MarineTL — Chapter 166: Layers of Illusion But this time, the situation was different from before. My consciousness wavered for only a fleeting moment before I snapped back to clarity. My flashlight lay beside me, and I was lying alone on a large rock, half-submerged in water. Looking up, I could see the giant turtle poking its head out from the caisson ceiling. This was the side chamber where Bai Shenxian had dived and left from at the very beginning. It felt incredibly real. I could even smell the…

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 C154
by MarineTL — Chapter 154: A Dead End The cold sea breeze blew as everyone huddled together, holding their meals. I had come up late and was standing on the outer edge of the crowd. When He Yu saw me, he forced his way through several workers to clear a path, insisting I stand next to Liu Wan. I hadn't realized how intense it would be until I got there. My heart began to race as dozens of eyes fixed simultaneously on me and Liu Wan. Given my usual nerves, where even giving a school presentation required a period…

Nine Rings C155
by MarineTL — Chapter 155: The Art of the Bluff He Yu glanced at the two of us and called me out. "Hey, hey, hey, what's the meaning of this? You two taking advantage of me just because I can't read your signals, are you?" I stood up, hooked an arm around his neck, and pulled him aside. "I have a plan, but it's a last resort," I said. "Just watch me work. Stand to the side with a dark face and act like you're completely impatient." Next, I had Xiao Wu move a table and chairs. I told him to place the wooden…
