Nine Rings C153
by MarineTL — Chapter 153: Entering the Game I mentally sifted through his words again. This meant that after He Yu had surfaced, Fourth Brother and Lu Ayao had entered the head of that massive Tomb-guarding Beast alone to investigate. During that process, something must have happened, something that likely led directly to Lu Ayao developing a fever once he was back on the ship. Fourth Brother hadn't told me about any of this. He Yu had surfaced before they were even halfway through, so he didn't know about this…

Nine Rings C152
by MarineTL — Chapter 152: High Fever The deck suddenly became quite lively. I followed alongside Fourth Brother and watched as the netting attached to the ship's hull slowly rose, carrying a heavy load of Sea-Salvaged Porcelain. I took a quick look; some were porcelain shards, others were broken ceramic jars, most of them still covered in an earthy, muddy smell. Leaning over the railing, I watched the crew from the other research vessel transfer the netting onto their deck. Fourth Brother lit a cigarette and…

Nine Rings C151
by MarineTL — Chapter 151: The History of Two Families I found his conclusion utterly absurd, so I repeated his words back to him. "You're saying that what's under our boat isn't a tomb, but a graveyard, right?" "Right!" He Yu slapped the table with conviction. I gave a disdainful smile and turned back to fiddle with my silk threads. "Listen to yourself and tell me if that makes any sense. Everyone knows that undersea graveyards are formed by the influence of wind, tides, and ocean currents. This isn't some…

Nine Rings C150
by MarineTL — Chapter 150: Shipwreck Graveyard And so, I stayed up until the middle of the night in bed, clutching the casket. I eventually drifted off while the thread was still inside the lock and the paper was still in my arms. The moment I closed my eyes, exhaustion swept over me like a tidal wave. It seemed noisy outside, but I was dead to the world and heard nothing at all. The only time I regained a flicker of consciousness was in the morning when Lu Ayao pulled the casket from my arms. I startled awake, my…

Nine Rings C15
by MarineTL — Chapter 15: The Tunnel After a night's rest, Tian Yuqing brought us to a quaint little inn. That evening, we all gathered around a large round table for dinner. Lu A'yao went to the main table, while I was content to stay on the side with He Yu, picking at our food. But then Tian Yuqing had someone call us over to the main table. I couldn't refuse, so I reluctantly went over. The main table was in a private room, and as soon as I entered, I felt an overwhelming pressure. Seated around the large table…

Nine Rings C149
by MarineTL — Chapter 149: The Locksmith I went over and kicked He Yu a couple of times. He just rolled over, mumbled something in his sleep, and kept on sleeping. Unable to wake him, I turned around to ask Lu Ayao to help me carry him into the cabin, but when I turned, what met my eyes was Fourth Brother's extremely grim face. Fourth Brother startled me. I quickly set the beer He Yu had given me down on the ship's railing. It took me a moment to remember that I'm an adult now and having a drink isn't a problem.…

Chapter
Nine Rings C148
by MarineTL — Chapter 148: Hidden Secrets I picked up on a useful piece of information, so I tossed aside the skin of my second persimmon and looked at Bai Shenxian. "Why? Why sew his face? Since you were the one who sewed the porcelain shards onto him, you must know what the talismans on them mean, right?" Bai Shenxian gave a mysterious smile. "This isn't something a kid should be hearing. These are secret matters. If you want to know, you'll have to give me a little something in return." He reached out and…

Chapter
Nine Rings C147
by MarineTL — Chapter 147: Meeting Bai Shenxian Again Bai Shenxian was not as disheveled as when we first met. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, his hair had been cut much shorter, and his stubble was shaved clean. He looked like a completely different person—or at least like an intellectual—appearing young and clean-cut. But even if his face, once cleaned up, was enough to charm thousands, I didn't actually want to deal with him, much less see him here. A swirl of complex emotions rushed over me all…
