Nine Rings C118
by MarineTL — Chapter 118: A Good Meal I didn't say anything. Chen Canghai uncharacteristically crawled over from the other end, having clearly overheard our conversation. "I don't know what happened between you all," he said, "but under the current circumstances, we'd better try not to harbor too many suspicions. Once he wakes up, we can always just ask him then." Chen Canghai's words actually cleared up the knot I hadn't been able to untie. I sat cross-legged in the cave, looking at the cut on my…

Nine Rings C150
by MarineTL — Chapter 150: Shipwreck Graveyard And so, I stayed up until the middle of the night in bed, clutching the casket. I eventually drifted off while the thread was still inside the lock and the paper was still in my arms. The moment I closed my eyes, exhaustion swept over me like a tidal wave. It seemed noisy outside, but I was dead to the world and heard nothing at all. The only time I regained a flicker of consciousness was in the morning when Lu Ayao pulled the casket from my arms. I startled awake, my…

Nine Rings C182
by MarineTL — Chapter 182: Internal Strife He Yu squinted as he leaned forward in front of me. After observing for a moment, he let out a sound of confusion. "Huh? That's not right. This doesn't look like it was built out of stone. Look at the material. How does it look so much like concrete?" His eyesight had always been good, at least much better than mine. Hearing him say that, I hurriedly leaned into the beam of his flashlight to take a look. At a glance, I realized He Yu might actually be right this time. The…

Nine Rings C214
by MarineTL — Chapter 214: The Boss I didn't quite understand, so I asked him to elaborate. Qian Deli coughed twice, glanced toward the door, and lowered his voice. "I used to do business and made some friends around here. While we were drinking, I heard them say that in villages nestled against the mountains like this, you have to lock your doors and windows tight once winter hits. No matter what noise you hear at night, you can't open the door. That's because the noise likely isn't made by a person, but most…

Nine Rings C246
by MarineTL — Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After thinking it over for a moment, I decided we couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating like this would definitely cause problems. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope in the shop to tie up the two crazed men first. He Yu would stay behind in the shop to keep an eye on them while I scouted the nearby area to see if there were any other discoveries. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were…

Nine Rings C278
by MarineTL — Chapter 278: Long Life and the Birth of a Son (Part 2) Qu Zhang casually exchanged contact info with Cui Fengji and left with his painting supplies. Watching his retreating back, Cui Fengji was struck by a strange sensation that if his attention drifted for even a second, this man would vanish in an instant. It felt as though meeting him here today was a dream, one that would fade the moment he returned to the hotel. Back at the hotel, Cui Fengji took a quick hot shower and began organizing his gear…

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 in place, watching him arc gracefully through the air in a perfect parabola, feeling intensely envious. Why was everyone so damn capable? It was like I was the only clueless idiot on the entire ship. I crouched slightly and slowly edged toward the rim of the stone pillar…

Nine Rings C129
by MarineTL — Chapter 129: Poverty Comes First The spot where we swept into the river was close to the riverbed. It was night, and everything in sight was pitch black. This stretch had sharp bends and a steep drop, and the rushing current quickly swept He Yu and me apart. In water like this, a person is powerless; the only thing you can do is protect your internal organs from being punctured by the rocks. I drew the knife from my waist and rode the current downstream. As I passed a bend where the flow eased…
