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 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…

Chapter
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…

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…

Nine Rings C37
by MarineTL — Chapter 37: Cave-In By the time I woke up again, two days had already passed. What roused me wasn’t a medic or a teammate, but the smell of instant noodles cooked by one of the Tian Family crew. Moving corpses, a centipede-like creature the size of a train—those things felt like a nightmare. Only the rain tapping against the tent reminded me it wasn’t. And it wasn’t over yet. I sat up in bed, wrapped in a blanket, slurping instant noodles from a stainless steel lunchbox while the guy tending the…

Chapter
Nine Rings C69
by MarineTL — Chapter 69: Reinforcements When I shone my flashlight down, I saw the birds landing one after another on the decaying hanging coffins. That’s when I finally understood how those coffins had gotten so many holes. The birds were piercing the coffin boards with their claws, then thrusting their sharp beaks inside to peck at the corpses. Seeing me lying at the edge of the ledge, peering downward, Lu A'yao suddenly crouched and began unfastening his backpack. Watching his movements, I asked, “What are…
