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…

Nine Rings C110
by MarineTL — Chapter 110: The Lotus Statue The light of the fire starter flickered in the stone passage. I stood alone before the stone wall. I didn't know the exact time, but it felt like a long time had passed. I had felt every inch of the gaps in the stone wall, and there was no doubt it was a single, solid piece. The surface was smooth, with no signs of mechanisms or grooves. Baldy had found a stick from somewhere and was tapping it on the ground out of boredom. The contact between the stick and the floor…

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…

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…

Nine Rings C89
by MarineTL — Chapter 89: Snake Tide The two of us stood in front of the rear cargo hatch and exchanged a glance with He Yu. I gave him a nod, and he stepped forward and kicked the door open with a loud bang. The space where the diving gear—once covered with waterproof tarps—should have been was now completely empty. I let out a sharp breath of relief. He Yu came over and clapped me on the shoulder. "See? I told you, you were overthinking it. They must’ve found something, maybe even struck gold. Saw us too…

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…

Chapter
Nine Rings C36
by MarineTL — Chapter 36: Jumping into Quicksand I hurriedly bent my knees, trying to crouch on the eaves like Lu A'yao, but the moment I looked down, all I saw was a pitch-black abyss. My legs instantly gave out, and I ended up kneeling on the ledge instead. But I didn’t care about looking ridiculous anymore—I started scanning the darkness, searching for He Yu. Lu A'yao crouched beside me for about two minutes before decisively standing up. Grabbing onto an iron chain, he said, “I’m going down to take a…
