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 C66
by MarineTL — Chapter 66: An Unexpected Reunion This time, I was unconscious for much longer than before. I had a long, drawn-out nightmare. In the dream, I didn’t even know when I had climbed down from the bronze pillar, but I suddenly saw Lai Qi emerging from the water in an eerie, unnatural posture. He was holding a knife and chasing me around the base of the pillar, shouting that I had to pay with my life. We ran around the massive pillar three full times. In the end, I couldn’t run anymore, so I turned and…

Nine Rings C65
by MarineTL — Chapter 65: Sudden Change After I finished speaking, Yu Jingzi didn’t respond right away. She straightened up, thought for a moment, then gauged the distance between us and the owl-faced relief sculpture. Finally, she nodded. “Seems like this is our only option now.” Then she turned and shouted to the team behind us, “Old Yang! Bring the gear! We’ll slide across with ropes!” Yu Jingzi clearly held a commanding position within her clan. No one questioned or opposed her decision. Later, I…

Nine Rings C64
by MarineTL — Chapter 64: A Wall Full of Corpses “Holy shit! What the hell is that?!” I screamed, scared out of my wits. My body instinctively leaned backward, and if Yu Jingzi hadn’t anticipated it and caught me from behind, I would’ve gone tumbling headfirst. A bloodshot eyeball jutted out from the stone wall, staring at me from who knows how long behind the rock. I wanted nothing more than to get as far away from that thing as possible. At that moment, I didn’t care about any sense of propriety between…

Nine Rings C63
by MarineTL — Chapter 63: The Ghost Copper Pillar The term "counterfeit" didn’t quite sit right with me at first. I pressed Yu Jingzi about it a few more times, and eventually realized that what she called a "counterfeit" was more akin to what we’d call a model home—a replica built for display. We continued climbing the stone steps, making our way to the end of the small waterfall. The rushing underground river had worn the stone smooth and slick, so I had to watch every step with extreme caution. Yu Jingzi…

Chapter
Nine Rings C62
by MarineTL — Chapter 62: A Counterfeit Relic As soon as she finished speaking, I realized something was off. A logical person always has a focus when they speak, and Yu Jingzi was undoubtedly that type. She had said a lot, but every point she made stuck clearly in my mind. Also, this was the first time I’d ever heard of something called the "Wood-Returning Stone." Her emphasis leaned heavily toward that, unlike Hou Jinshan, who had clearly focused more on the Ghost Market Map itself. Why the difference? I was…

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 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…
