Nine Rings C205
by MarineTL — Chapter 205: Jumping the Train "Northwest Outdoor" was likely a brand. Logically, these boxes and tools should have all been made by Northwest Outdoor. I planned to investigate further once the ship docked. It was getting late, and the three of us were getting hungry. We quickly put the lids back on the black boxes one by one, wiped up all the water on the floor with towels, and moved the boxes blocking the door back to their original positions. Only after restoring the cargo hold to roughly how it…

Nine Rings C204
by MarineTL — Chapter 204: Looking for Labels My brain short-circuited for a brief moment. Lu Ayao blocked the door and sat beside it. The shock of seeing that corpse was simply too much for me. I reached for the first black crate I had opened, slammed the lid shut, and sat on top of it, slapping my face hard with both hands. He Yu followed my lead and closed the crate containing Tian Xiao's corpse. He reached out to hoist himself up to sit on it, but halfway up he must have realized who he would be sitting on.…

Nine Rings C203
by MarineTL — Chapter 203: The Black Boxes He Yu supported me as we walked to the aft cabin, which was used for storage.

The blood from my nose had already dried, mostly around my collar. Lu Ayao had given me some medicine right away, but then he'd been detained in the main cabin. They seemed to need him urgently, though they didn't have much use for me. He Yu handed me a…

I took a quick scan; aside from the crew steering the ship, pretty much everyone was there. My mother had likely just finished explaining the sailing route. She looked up as she saw us coming down. In an instant, every gaze in the cabin shifted toward us. I had seen this kind of crowd before; it never boded well. My mother…

Nine Rings C201
by MarineTL — Chapter 201: The Eve of the Break The barbecue was a dull affair. I wasn't sure when the atmosphere had turned so somber, but with some people staying behind to continue the excavation and others joining our ship, the crowd thinned out quickly. We finished off the pigeons in short order, and the three of us extinguished the fire, carrying the remaining plates of meat and vegetables back into the tent. He Yu and I knocked back beers in the tent while Lu Ayao dozed against the table. Once we finished…
