Nine Rings C68
by MarineTL — Chapter 68: Trapped Again No one in their right mind would willingly crawl into a coffin to keep company with the dead. So when it came to climbing up, we were all in perfect agreement. The pillar was covered in intricate carvings and decorative protrusions. The only upside to such a design was that it gave us plenty of footholds. We picked a spot with the most cutouts and started climbing. Lu A'yao led the way as usual, but this time, we had to make sure Hou Jinshan didn’t try to slip away halfway…

Nine Rings C100
by MarineTL — Chapter 100: Xiao Qi's Suspicion Before I could react, I heard a sharp crack from my knee. It was clear the anesthesia had started to take effect, because I didn’t feel any pain. Still, the sound echoed in my ears and made my teeth ache just listening to it. Tian Xiaoqi clapped her hands and stood up, tossing me some bread from her bag. After taking a swig from her canteen, she said, “Take off the top of your wetsuit. I need to check the wound on your back.” I froze for a second, thinking how…

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 C47
by MarineTL — Chapter 47: Setting the Table It was both a threat and an invitation. Someone from the shadows was urging me to investigate that old project, even going so far as to "thoughtfully" include two pages from the records—names and handwriting deliberately faded—just in case I didn’t get the hint. But why me? Why insist that I be the one to look into this? What if I just walked away and ignored it? Tian Xiao is still living peacefully with the Tian Family. If they wanted to uncover the truth about that…

Nine Rings C79
by MarineTL — Chapter 79: Treasure-Hunting Market Over the next few days, He Yu and I split up our tasks. He was in charge of digging up Qiao Sangui’s current whereabouts, while I focused on attending classes and prepping for finals. The school had suddenly announced a sketching exam, and it nearly drove me crazy. I spent the whole week getting up at the crack of dawn and burning the midnight oil, terrified I’d flunk it. That said, He Yu turned out to be a lot more reliable than he looked. He was surprisingly…

Nine Rings C111
by MarineTL — Chapter 111: Baldy's Frankness On the sides nearest that stone wall, there were several rows of scattered shrines. I had noticed early on that some shrines held statues while others were empty. My previous experience with Chen Canghai while jumping on the stone pillars made me instinctively think of the Big Dipper. The fourteen shrines on both sides were arranged so that the positions where the statues were placed corresponded exactly to the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Based on my experience,…

Nine Rings C26
by MarineTL — Chapter 26: Bug Hunt The two of us huddled together and drank a little water. Worried that the Coffin and Outer Coffin behind us might have been pried open by those bugs, we crawled forward for another half an hour. The tunnel was narrow—whoever carved these passages must have been unusually short. I kept banging my head or scraping my back, making every inch of progress a struggle. The tunnel twisted and turned. Though there were no sheer drops or vertical climbs, a few steep slopes angled at nearly…

Chapter
Nine Rings C58
by MarineTL — Chapter 58: Sudden Upheaval I hadn’t even finished speaking when Hou Jinshan burst out laughing. “Kid, trying to trick me again? This time, I’m not falling for it.” My thoughts had become much clearer now. Earlier, I’d been influenced by He Yu, but ever since we entered the cave this time, I’d been paying close attention to the passage of time. From the moment we started diving until now, exactly two hours had passed. I figured it was time to stop and sort out my thoughts. Li Wanchou had…
