Nine Rings C155

by MarineTL — Chapter 155: The Art of the Bluff He Yu glanced at the two of us and pointed an accusing finger at me. "Hey, hey, hey, what's the meaning of this? You two are bullying me because I can't read the room, aren't you?" I stood up, hooked my arm around his neck, and pulled him aside. "I have a plan, but it's a last resort," I whispered. "Just watch me work. Stand to the side with a dark expression and act like you're extremely impatient." Next, I had Xiao Wu move some furniture. I told him to place a…

Nine Rings C154

by MarineTL — Chapter 154: A Dead End The cold sea breeze blew as everyone huddled together, clutching their meals. I had come up late and was standing on the outer edge of the crowd. When He Yu saw me, he forced his way through several workers to make a path, insisting I stand next to Liu Wan. I hadn't realized how intense it would be until I got there. My heart began to race as dozens of eyes fixed simultaneously on me and Liu Wan. Given my usual nerves—where even reporting a school assignment required a…

Nine Rings C153

by MarineTL — Chapter 153: Entering the Game I mentally sifted through his words again. This meant that after He Yu had surfaced, Fourth Brother and Lu Ayao had entered the head of that massive Tomb-guarding Beast alone to investigate. During that process, something must have happened—something that likely led directly to Lu Ayao developing a fever once he was back on the ship. Fourth Brother hadn't told me about any of this. He Yu had surfaced before they were even halfway through, so he didn't know about this…

Nine Rings C152

by MarineTL — Chapter 152: High Fever The deck suddenly became quite lively. I followed alongside Fourth Brother and watched as the netting attached to the ship's hull slowly rose, carrying a heavy load of Sea-Salvaged Porcelain. I took a quick look; some were porcelain shards, others were broken ceramic jars, most of them still covered in a briny, earthy scent. Leaning over the railing, I watched the crew from the other research vessel transfer the netting onto their deck. Fourth Brother lit a cigarette and said,…

Nine Rings C151

by MarineTL — Chapter 151: The History of Two Families I found his conclusion utterly absurd, so I repeated his words back to him. "You're saying that what's under our boat isn't a tomb, but a graveyard, right?" "Exactly!" He Yu slapped the table with conviction. I gave a disdainful smile and turned back to fiddle with my silk threads. "Listen to yourself and tell me if that makes any sense. Everyone knows that undersea graveyards are formed by the influence of wind, tides, and ocean currents. This isn't some…

Nine Rings C150

by MarineTL — Chapter 150: Shipwreck Graveyard And so, I stayed up until the middle of the night on the bed, clutching the casket. I eventually drifted off to sleep while the thread was still inside the box, the paper 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 A'yao pulled the casket from my arms. I startled…

Nine Rings C15

by MarineTL — Chapter 15: The Tunnel After a night's rest, Tian Yuqing brought us to a quaint little inn. That evening, we all gathered around a large round table for dinner. Lu A'yao went to the main table, while I was content to stay on the side with He Yu, picking at our food. But then Tian Yuqing had someone call us over to the main table. I couldn't refuse, so I reluctantly went over. The main table was in a private room, and as soon as I entered, I felt an overwhelming pressure. Seated around the large table…

Nine Rings C149

by MarineTL — Chapter 149: The Locksmith I went over and kicked He Yu a couple of times. He just rolled over, mumbled something in his sleep, and kept on sleeping. Unable to wake him, I could only turn around and signal Lu A'yao to help me carry him into the cabin. But when I turned, what met my eyes was Fourth Brother's extremely grim face. Fourth Brother's expression startled me. I quickly set the beer He Yu had given me down on the ship's railing. It took me a moment to remember that I'm an adult now; having a…
