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 C16
by MarineTL — Chapter 16: The Dragon Trapped by Flowing Water I couldn't understand why Tian Yuqing insisted on having our team and the Tan family's workers go down first. From what I know of him, he's shrewd and efficient, never doing anything pointless. There must be a reason he's keeping the archaeological team from going down first, but whether it's for profit, I can't tell. "Have you finished arguing?" Before Wu Yili could respond, Lu A'yao's voice came from inside the cave. He emerged from the low tunnel,…

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…

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…

Nine Rings C157
by MarineTL — Chapter 157: A Wall? I sat on the edge of the boat, my gaze hidden behind diving goggles as I looked toward Liang Si and his group. They were swearing loudly and splashing water at the side of the vessel, looking extremely relaxed. I tightened the strap on my wrist and watched them quietly. The reason Liang Si and his men were so at ease was that, including myself and Bai Shenxian, I had only brought four people down. On their side, they had at least seven hands, and they had even brought along that…

Nine Rings C156
by MarineTL — Chapter 156: Leave None Alive Whether it was my words or my posture, Liang Si finally began to re-examine me. I wasn't afraid of his scrutiny. As he could see, I was a fresh face in this business. Fourth Brother had never brought me to any of the Pankou to show me off. Liang Si and his lot were the type who knew someone like me existed but had never seen me in person. Their current fear stemmed precisely from the fact that they couldn't gauge my depth. Liang Si's eyes darted around before he suddenly…

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…

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…
