Nine Rings C60
by MarineTL — Chapter 60: Suffocation This covered bridge probably doesn’t have too many traps, but that’s just my preliminary guess. After all, I’m not the one who built this ruin. Someone capable of embedding iron chains into the base of stone statues underwater is definitely no ordinary craftsman. If he insisted on rigging the bridge with something, I’d just have to accept my fate. Besides, it’s not like my mouth is really blessed with divine foresight. I raised my hand and gave Hou Jinshan a look. He…

Nine Rings C39
by MarineTL — Chapter 39: The Thief I stared at the casket, frozen in the act of unzipping my backpack, and stayed that way for over half an hour. The auntie on the lower bunk kept glancing up at me, probably thinking I had some kind of problem. When I first saw the Jade Casket sitting untouched in my bag, I could hardly believe it. My mind instantly flashed back to all the terrifying things Tian Yuqing had said about its origins. But truth be told, I’d never taken those stories seriously. In this world, at least…

Nine Rings C71
by MarineTL — Chapter 71: Lu A'yao's Warning Of course I didn’t agree with what he said. The man wasn't even dead yet, and even if he were, I’d still want to bring him back and give him a proper burial. But Fourth Brother wasn’t joking. He was dead serious, trying to discuss it with me—or maybe he never intended to ask for my opinion at all. After all, everyone here listened to him. If he said to leave someone behind, who would dare disobey? When I didn’t respond, Fourth Brother asked, “You’re not…

Nine Rings C18
by MarineTL — Chapter 18: A Rocky Start Once the makeshift pulley was securely fastened directly above the pit, everything was ready. The two professors entered the large tent one after the other. We followed closely behind. I initially intended to listen attentively to their arrangements, but as they spoke, I found it was like being in a math class—after a few sentences, I started to feel sleepy. So I moved over to sit next to He Yu. Most of the meeting was dominated by Wu Yili and the bald professor, with Tian…

Nine Rings C50
by MarineTL — Chapter 50: Into the Mountains The car stopped near the reservoir, and Hou Jinshan sent me another location. The spot he gave was remote, the kind of place only hardcore wild fishing enthusiasts would frequent. Xiao Wu and I trudged through the tall grass for ages before finally reaching the place. As soon as we arrived, we saw Hou Jinshan crouched by the water, seemingly unable to get up. When he saw me, he looked like he'd just spotted his savior. “Oh, thank god you're here, Young Master Gan! Look…

Nine Rings C29
by MarineTL — Chapter 29: Entering the Nine-Bend Corridor Ruins But even with Lu A’yao’s reassurance, my unease didn’t completely fade. Or rather, I’d found the layout of this place strange from the very beginning. By conventional standards, the passageways in a tomb are meant only to connect various tomb chambers. Once you enter a passage, it should lead directly to a chamber—whether it's a burial chamber or the main tomb. In other words, the passage exists to serve the chambers. So, I’ve never seen a…

Nine Rings C61
by MarineTL — Chapter 61: Ghost Paintings and the Ghost Ruins "Get some rest and prepare to move out again." "This cave must have been flooded. Everything's damp. What a damn mess." "Keep your voice down. Don’t let Boss Yu hear you." The rustling voices stirred me from sleep. The stone beneath me was hard enough to bruise bone, and there was still water in my lungs I hadn’t completely coughed out. I sat up and hacked a few times, the world slowly coming into focus. I saw a fire burning nearby, a blanket…

Chapter
Nine Rings C40
by MarineTL — Chapter 40: An Old Acquaintance and a Web of Doubts The moment I slammed the bag onto the table, the old man panicked. His smooth-talking spiel quickly unraveled into a mess of incoherent babble. It didn’t take long for me to notice—he seemed both wary of the casket and deeply curious about it. I thought for a moment, then pushed the bag toward him. “Didn’t you want to see it? Go ahead.” He froze, instinctively reaching for the zipper, but then pulled his hand back the next second. He gave me…
