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 C95
by MarineTL — Chapter 95: A Strange Message I lunged forward too quickly, and both my hands just barely managed to grab one of Chen Canghai’s. After everything we’d been through, my upper body strength had clearly improved a lot. But I was panicking. With so many loose stones already falling from the edge, it was obvious that the rock here was unstable and brittle. If I pulled too slowly, the next ones to fall could be the two of us. I was desperate to haul Chen Canghai up. So I shouted at him, “Give me your…

Nine Rings C94
by MarineTL — Chapter 94: Infant Corpse I was at the back of the group. Just one glance at He Yu’s reaction after seeing what was inside the coffin, and I knew something was seriously wrong. He had spent a full twenty minutes earlier with a waterlogged corpse without so much as flinching, but now he was sucking in a sharp breath. That told me whatever was in this coffin might be beyond what I could handle. But I had already walked over. The moment I peeked inside, my stomach turned violently. What lay in the…

Nine Rings C93
by MarineTL — Chapter 93: The Burial Coffin Later, the two of us chatted some more, and I realized that He Yu had an extremely stereotyped view of the Lu family. It was so intense that I started to wonder if someone from a Lu family branch had offended his family in the past. Otherwise, where would all that resentment come from? Chen Canghai turned out to be pretty skilled at wilderness survival. I’d been too caught up in conversation to notice earlier, but now I realized the pile of coffin boards we’d used to…

Chapter
Nine Rings C92
by MarineTL — Chapter 92: The One Who Carved the Words Liu Sanshui was a man shrouded in mystery. He was the youngest among the Five Masters of his generation, the first to die, but also the first Liu family member to rise to prominence. It's no exaggeration to say that the Liu family's vast client base today was built largely thanks to him. Of all the people my grandfather disliked dealing with, Liu Sanshui topped the list. I’d heard bits and pieces about his early years—how he once joined a group of tomb…
