Chapter 166: Layers of Illusion But this time, the situation was different from before. My consciousness only wavered for a fleeting moment before I snapped back to clarity. My flashlight lay beside me, and I was lying alone on a large rock, half-submerged in water. Looking up, I could see the giant turtle poking its head out from the caisson ceiling. This was the side chamber where Bai Shenxian had dived and left from at the very beginning. It felt incredibly real. I could even smell the…-

Chapter 165: The White Corpse Turtle Immortal Hearing those words, I felt the hair on my arms stand on end. No matter how I interpreted that sentence, it felt incredibly bizarre. It was clearly a statement of foresight. There was no way the news of me learning the Art of Mechanisms could have reached the Tian Family—at least, that was what I believed at the time. But how did Tian Xiao know? How could he be so certain that I would eventually learn the Art of Mechanisms? Had my grandfather…

Chapter 164: The One Who Set the Trap As I walked further, I soon saw a sign that instantly calmed my simmering rage. It stood in the middle of the path, bearing several large characters: "DANGER AREA, NO ENTRY." I adjusted my flashlight to its maximum brightness, shining it on the doors and windows behind the sign. In this so-called "danger area," the doors and windows remained wide open. Test tubes and glass shards were scattered across the adjacent corridor. It was unclear what this place had once…

Chapter 163: Going Berserk The person holding a knife to my throat was actually Tian Xiaoqi! Damn it, I never would have guessed in a million years that the person I just saved was this woman. But how did she get here? Had she been trailing our team the whole time without us noticing? "What are you doing here?" I blurted out. Tian Xiaoqi immediately made a shushing gesture. She lowered the knife from my throat and pointed it toward the wardrobe door. Clearly, she had also noticed the viscous,…

Chapter 162: Footprints I really hadn't come in here on my own. Bai Shenxian said at the time that we had been washed in by the current. As I held my flashlight, I thought about it for a moment and felt like something didn't quite add up. The current had pushed us in very quickly, and I had somehow been separated from Liang Si. This proved that there must be many passages connected to the Tomb-guarding Beast. That was the only way we could have been scattered and washed into different Side Chambers.…

Chapter 161: The Abandoned Research Institute I huddled in the corner as the world returned to silence once more. I crouched there, eyes shut, waiting for a long while, but no monsters came rushing out. Only then did I slowly move my backpack aside, trembling as I swept my flashlight toward the source of the noise. Under the reflection of the beam, I saw porcelain shards scattered across the floor. The ceramics in this burial chamber were all placed in niches carved into the stone walls. There was no…

Chapter 160: A Desperate Measure Judging by Bai Shenxian's expression, he didn't seem to be joking. However, the story he told sounded like a fairy tale to me, the supposed protagonist. That said, I quickly connected it to some strange occurrences from my hometown. I'd heard my grandfather talk about many instances of children crying incessantly at night. In mild cases, they just wouldn't stop sobbing; in more severe cases, they would sit up in bed unconsciously, talking to themselves or making…

Chapter 159: Ghost Possession I swam a little closer, using my flashlight to scan the silk wrapping the corpse. The dark silk was heavily patterned with cloud motifs, and gold threads were woven into the fabric. Under the beam of my light, these gold threads floated loosely where the silk had frayed or torn. It was then that I noticed a rotted, discolored wooden plaque hanging from the corpse's waist. Only a single character was written on it. I hadn't studied the scripts of various dynasties, so I…
