Nine Rings C99
by MarineTL — Chapter 99: Battle with the Infant Corpse A gust of cold wind brushed past my face, making me shiver inside the tunnel. Goosebumps broke out all over my body. The conclusion I’d just drawn felt ominous and unsettling. Whoever dug this tunnel through solid rock using nothing but their bare hands must have encountered something truly bizarre. With no other way out, they resorted to this desperate measure. I swallowed hard. Hunger was clouding my mind, making it difficult to think straight. So I…

Nine Rings C98
by MarineTL — Chapter 98: The Same Tunnel When I woke up in the tunnel again, I had no idea how much time had passed. I had collapsed inside without any warning, head in and feet out, still frozen in the crawling position I’d last been in. I lay there for a while. At first, I thought I’d arrived in the underworld, but when I realized I wasn’t dead, I sat up too fast and nearly scraped my head on the ceiling of the tunnel. My back felt cold. I shifted my shoulders slightly and noticed I couldn’t really feel…

Nine Rings C97
by MarineTL — Chapter 97: Encountering the Infant Corpse Again The process had been grueling, but I’d finally figured out the pattern. With that, things became much easier. Chen Canghai would jump first, then it’d be my turn. I stood there watching him arc gracefully through the air in a perfect parabola, and I couldn’t help but feel a stab of envy. Why was everyone so damn good at this? It was like I was the only clueless idiot on the entire ship. I crouched slightly and slowly edged toward the rim of the…

Nine Rings C96
by MarineTL — Chapter 96: Leaping Across the Stone Pillars While I had been zoning out for just a moment, Chen Canghai had already leapt onto a stone pillar not far ahead. I slowly got to my feet, trying to gauge the distance between me and that pillar. No matter what, I needed a bit of mental prep before jumping. Thankfully, it wasn’t too far. I didn’t dare hesitate. Clamping the flashlight between my teeth, I shut my eyes and jumped like a toad. I landed with both hands on the stone, hitting it with a dull…

Nine Rings C114
by MarineTL — Chapter 114: A Basketful of Guesses He Yu still hadn't processed it: "But other than half of it being torn away, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this page. Isn't it just another blank sheet of paper?" "No, only the top half of this page remains. The bottom half was torn off," I explained to him. "Normally, if you wanted to destroy paper evidence, you would tear out the entire page like the previous ones. But this page only had the bottom half removed, and the edge is very straight.…

Nine Rings C113
by MarineTL — Chapter 113: The Tomb Raider Who Went to His Death Chen Canghai knelt beside me to rest. Seeing me look at him, he made a few hand gestures. After seeing them so often, I could guess most of what he meant. He Yu hadn't seen them much, so he didn't understand and tapped me on the shoulder. "Wh-what was that? What does that mean again?" I explained, "He might have had systematic training in something like Sanda before." Chen Canghai nodded after hearing my explanation. I had guessed correctly,…

Nine Rings C112
by MarineTL — Chapter 112: Reinforcements from the Heavens I wondered if he was being a bit dramatic. Lu A'yao had only exchanged a few words with Tian Yuqing, so how did they end up being labeled as thick as thieves? Besides, even if he really was in league with Tian Yuqing, the man was still Tian Xiaoqi's cousin. She couldn't possibly fly into a murderous rage just because she couldn't get the answers she wanted, right? "This is a bit much, isn't it?" I forced a chuckle. Baldy waved a hand dismissively.…

Chapter
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,…
