Nine Rings C112
by MarineTL — Chapter 112: Reinforcements from the Heavens I wondered if he was being a bit dramatic. Lu Ayao had only exchanged a few words with Tian Yuqing, so how did they end up being labeled as thick as thieves? Besides, even if he really was in league with Tian Yuqing, the man was still Tian Xiaoqi's cousin. She couldn't possibly fly into a murderous rage just because she couldn't get the answers she wanted, right? "This is a bit much, isn't it?" I forced a chuckle. Guangtou waved a hand dismissively.…

Nine Rings C113
by MarineTL — Chapter 113: The Tomb Raider Who Went to His Death Chen Canghai was kneeling beside me to rest. Hearing what I said, he made a few hand gestures to me. If you saw these gestures often enough, you could guess their general meaning. He Yu hadn't seen them much, so he didn't understand and tapped me on the shoulder. "Wh-what is that? Wh-what does that mean again?" I explained, "He might have gone through some systematic training in Sanda or something before." Chen Canghai nodded after hearing my…

Nine Rings C114
by MarineTL — Chapter 114: A Basketful of Guesses He Yu still hadn't fully processed it: "But other than half of it being torn off, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this page. Isn't it just another blank sheet of paper?" "That's not it. Only the top half of this page remains, while the bottom half was torn off," I explained to him. "Normally, if you wanted to destroy paper evidence, you'd tear out the whole page like the previous ones. But only the bottom half of this page was torn off, and the…

Nine Rings C115
by MarineTL — Chapter 115: The Underground Palace Sewer As soon as I finished speaking, He Yu shoved me away with his hand. "Go, go, go! Out of the way! Honestly, this place isn't even that big. The three of us must have searched it two or three times by now. Where's this passage of yours? There isn't even a trace of it!" He slung an arm over my shoulder. "Xiao Yao, you didn't remember it wrong, did you?" I slapped his hand away and said firmly, "Impossible! That map is burned into my mind. The passage…

Chapter
Nine Rings C116
by MarineTL — Chapter 116: A Miraculous Antidote To be honest, I was a bit anxious. The flashlight that had fallen into the water was completely smashed. It was the one Lu Ayao had clipped to his waist before falling into the groove. Flashlights like this were usually quite sturdy, so I guessed he must have taken a heavy impact or suffered a severe collision when he fell. This wasn't good. Without waiting for He Yu and Chen Canghai to catch up, stumbling through the water behind me, I shut my mouth and lunged…

Nine Rings C117
by MarineTL — Chapter 117: Trust Crisis What the hell? For a second, I thought I'd misheard. My mind buzzed with a sharp shock. Lu Ayao was saying my blood could cure the corpse poison in his system? This joke wasn't funny at all. If my blood really could cure corpse poison, it wouldn't make any sense if I weren't hauled off to some medical research institute to be dissected. Despite my internal skepticism, my body reacted instinctively. I reached behind me for my knife. My reasoning was simple: regardless of…

Chapter
Nine Rings C106
by MarineTL — Chapter 106: Blowing Up the Buddha The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda was, as I understood it, a stone tower meant to suppress and perform rituals of release for the souls of the dead. Lu Ayao told me that the incantations chiseled into the tower's surface were actually verses from the Diamond Sutra, which meant the chanting I heard was likely intended for wandering spirits. "What do you mean? Why can't any of you hear it when I can?" I protested, thinking to myself, What, does the Bodhisattva think my soul…

Chapter
Nine Rings C107
by MarineTL — Chapter 107: Poisoning and Murder He Yu was still hopping mad, complaining that we had ruined him. He grumbled that he was already plagued by bad luck, and now that we had used his explosives to blow the Buddha statue to smithereens, he would probably choke even on a sip of cold water from now on. I shot back, telling him that since he knew he had been down on his luck for so many years, praying to Buddha clearly hadn't done him any good. I suggested we try a different approach; maybe fighting poison…
