Nine Rings C35
by MarineTL — Chapter 35: The Suspended Woman We continued climbing upward. After another twenty meters, I could just make out the dome of the Side Chamber from my position. I clenched the flashlight between my teeth and swept the beam upward—what I saw made my heart jolt. A corpse was hanging in midair, swaying in the breeze. And it seemed the higher we went, the more of them there were. That was definitely not a good sign. I stopped climbing. He Yu saw it too and halted beside me. Lu A’yao swept his flashlight…

Nine Rings C67
by MarineTL — Chapter 67: Memory Distortion? After changing the bandages and doing a quick rewrap, we all fell into silence. When Hou Jinshan woke up, he immediately started fawning over Lu A’yao, babbling nonsense non-stop. Lu A’yao didn’t respond to a single word, but that didn’t stop Hou Jinshan from chattering away like he was on fire. I kept quiet simply because I didn’t want to deal with him. I also didn’t want him overhearing too much of our conversation. As for Lu A’yao, I figured he had…

Nine Rings C14
by MarineTL — Chapter 14: Destination Tian Yuqing opened the car door and tossed me a black backpack from Lao Gen's hands. "Pack the Jade Casket well. No matter where you go, you must take the casket with you. If you find the journey too boring, you can try to crack it to pass the time." I packed the Jade Casket, slung the backpack over my shoulder, and got out of the car. He Yu was waiting for me in front of the second vehicle, smiling as he approached. "Hey, I didn't peg you for a tough guy. How'd it go? Judging by…

Chapter
Nine Rings C46
by MarineTL — Chapter 46: The Recorder As I was opening it, I reached into the file envelope and felt around. There was a noticeable bulge inside—probably photos or something similar. I took a utility knife and sliced the envelope open, then turned it upside down. Several photographs slid out immediately and landed in my hands. I only caught a glimpse before I was so startled I threw the envelope away. My heart began pounding wildly. It’s hard to describe exactly what was in the photos. Even though I only glanced…

Nine Rings C78
by MarineTL — Chapter 78: 4341951009 After talking for quite a while, He Yu finally gave in. He asked, “You want to investigate the Five Masters? That’s not going to be easy. Especially Tian Yuqing and Chen Si, those two are the trickiest of the bunch. If they team up to come after you, you won’t even know how you died. Who do you plan to ask for help?” That question hit right at my blind spot. When it came to industry insiders and backdoor dealings, I was completely out of my depth. Everyone always said…

Chapter
Nine Rings C25
by MarineTL — Chapter 25: A Twenty-Six-Year-Old Minor I smacked He Yu hard on the shoulder. “Don’t just stand there! Move!” The slap snapped him out of it. The two of us crouched low, eyes on the ceiling as we hurriedly backed toward the Coffin and Outer Coffin. We’d barely taken two steps when a beam of flashlight flickered—and in that brief flash, I saw it. A pale corpse clinging to the rock wall, gliding sideways like a spider. “Shit! Is that a Corpse Reanimation?” He Yu clearly saw it too. He…

Chapter
Nine Rings C57
by MarineTL — Chapter 57: First Brush with Death The ringing in my ears vanished a split second before the cloud of scales descended. All I could hear was the roar of water, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Li Wanchou, his bloodied eyes shut tight, breaking the surface of the lake. He must have taken me for his last hope of survival. He grabbed onto me in desperation, probably thinking I could pull him up to the stone path. What he didn’t expect was how terrible my balance was. His sudden yank caught me…

Chapter
Nine Rings C04
by MarineTL — Chapter 4: Several Theories Generally speaking, items that are locked tend to be of considerable value. At the time, I had several basic theories, which I will outline here to aid in understanding later on. The first possibility is that the owner of the Jade Casket never intended for anyone to open it a hundred years later, hence the nine silver ring locks. The Nine Rings are locked tightly inside the casket, forming a deadlock. However, there's a glaring flaw in this line of thinking. If the item is…
