Nine Rings C32
by MarineTL — Chapter 32: Qin-style Brazier We stumbled into a Side Chamber purely by accident. It had been pitch black while we were running for our lives, but judging by my sense of direction, the corridor we came through was a straight shot. We ran all the way to the end, and the chamber was right there. We held the stone door shut for a while. Once the sounds outside gradually faded into silence, Lu A'yao finally let go. He took the flashlight and began exploring the Side Chamber, while He Yu and I kept our hands…

Nine Rings C64
by MarineTL — Chapter 64: A Wall Full of Corpses “Holy shit! What the hell is that?!” I screamed, scared out of my wits. My body instinctively leaned backward, and if Yu Jingzi hadn’t anticipated it and caught me from behind, I would’ve gone tumbling headfirst. A bloodshot eyeball jutted out from the stone wall, staring at me from who knows how long behind the rock. I wanted nothing more than to get as far away from that thing as possible. At that moment, I didn’t care about any sense of propriety between…

Nine Rings C11
by MarineTL — Chapter 11: Three Sacks of Rice Back in the car, the chill that had seeped into my bones seemed to be whisked away by the warmth of the air conditioning. He Yu had been woken by our commotion, but he didn't seem grumpy at all. Instead, he was curiously staring at Lu A'yao, who had just gotten into the car. Tian Yuqing had mentioned bringing in some help, but it turned out he had only invited Lu A'yao. Once we were all in the car, the convoy turned around and got back on the highway. My emotions were a…

Nine Rings C43
by MarineTL — Chapter 43: An Uninvited Guest For the next few days, I stayed holed up in the shop. Most of the businesses in the Outer Eight Trades are soaked in blood, and even after years in the game, my Fourth Brother still moves with caution. I had no choice but to be extra careful myself, watching my back every step I took. But maybe I was being too paranoid. I couldn’t even step out for a meal without dragging Lu A’yao along, or I’d just have one of the shop hands bring food straight to me. Most days, I…

Nine Rings C75
by MarineTL — Chapter 75: Xiao Wu’s Account When I woke up, the first thing I heard was the noisy chatter of some older folks nearby. They were speaking in dialect, and I couldn’t understand a single word. The bed beneath me was soft, and I wanted to stay curled up a bit longer. But sunlight streaming through the window stabbed at my eyes, making it nearly impossible to keep them open. I squinted and struggled to sit up, only to see Xiao Wu cheerfully pulling open the curtains. He dragged over a metal stool and…

Nine Rings C22
by MarineTL — Chapter 22: Falling into the Deep Pit The sand beneath the Terracotta Figures gave way completely, collapsing in a sudden landslide none of us had anticipated. So when we fell, the three of us were caught completely off guard. The cavity below was massive. Sand flooded into my nose, pushing me downward. My chin slammed into a rock, sending a sharp jolt of pain through my body. It felt like I hit the bottom almost instantly. I landed hard on my backside and sat there for a while, aching all over, bruises…

Nine Rings C54
by MarineTL — Chapter 54: Into the Water I no longer had the energy to complain. Clutching the yellowed slip of paper, I held up my phone—already sealed in a waterproof pouch—and began frantically searching for a signal beneath the massive waterfall. But in a place this remote, cell reception was even rarer than the scenery. After scouring the entire area and coming up empty, I could only find a shaded rock to sit on. I glanced at the paper in my hand, feeling utterly helpless. All I could do now was take out…

Nine Rings C01
by MarineTL — Chapter 1: The Beginning In truth, the start of many stories often stretches back much further than we imagine. That box wasn't famous at first; it appeared without any warning. In the late 1970s in New China, a few old farmers were leaning on their shovels, which were stuck deep in the ground. Zhu Laosan took a few deep drags from the cigarette dangling from his mouth, the sparks briefly flickering in the pitch-black mountain hollow. "Zhu Laosan, are you seeing things? We all grew up in these…
