Nine Rings C124
by MarineTL — Chapter 124: Meeting Han Jian Again When I heard the term "corpse beetle," I froze for a moment. I wasn't entirely clear on what the experts meant by that name, but seeing these creatures that could "turn into" stones, I instinctively thought of some kind of scavenger arthropod. Once they unfolded, they looked far too much like live shrimp with fangs. "These aren't corpse beetles. They're stone horseshoe crab bugs. Their eyesight is poor, but their hearing is sharp. We need to get out of here fast,"…

Nine Rings C156
by MarineTL — Chapter 156: Leave None Alive Whether it was my words or my posture, Liang Si finally began to re-examine me. I wasn't afraid of his scrutiny. As he could see, I was a fresh face in this business. Fourth Brother had never brought me to any of the Pankou to show me off. Liang Si and his lot were the type who knew someone like me existed but had never seen me in person. Their current fear stemmed precisely from the fact that they couldn't gauge my depth. Liang Si's eyes darted around before he suddenly…

Nine Rings C188
by MarineTL — Chapter 188: Acting The moment He Yu and I heard those words, we immediately ducked our heads. However, our position was quite far away and relatively safe. If He Yu hadn't been possessed and led me on a blind trek, I never would have reached this spot. I figured Qiao Sangui and his men would only search the immediate vicinity of the Snake-Tortoise at most. Besides, there were only five of them, making it impossible to conduct a search over such a wide area. Now it all depended on whether Lu Ayao and…

Nine Rings C220
by MarineTL — Chapter 220: The Chief Compared to any other day, this day was quite ordinary. At least, that was what Ulunzhurige thought before it happened. As usual, she had let the sheep out to graze and intended to drive them back to the pen at dusk. However, she accidentally fell asleep on the grassland, and by the time she woke up, the sun had already dipped below the horizon. She brushed the grass and dust off her clothes and stood up quickly, working with her sheepdog to herd the grazing sheep back. But…

Nine Rings C252
by MarineTL — Chapter 252: Going with the Flow I tossed the blood-stained bullet onto the ground and wrapped the bleeding wound tightly with gauze. A numbing wave of pain followed immediately. Leaning against the cave wall, my vision swam in dizzying pulses. I sat on the ground for a while to recover; the pain was so intense I felt the urge to vomit. Having eaten nothing, I had nothing to bring up, so I simply dry-heaved a few times before using the wall to pull myself to my feet. He Yu came over to support me,…

Nine Rings C284
by MarineTL — Chapter 284: Madame He I was back in my hometown during the summer break after my eighth-grade year. That summer was absurdly hot, so much so that as soon as vacation started, I hid in Fourth Brother's shop to leech off the air conditioning and fan. After lying there for three hours, the constant blast of the fan left my head spinning. I eventually had to wait for Fourth Brother to come back, haul me out of the room, and toss me under the large shade canopy in the courtyard to sit. The moment of…

Nine Rings C07
by MarineTL — Chapter 7: The Strange Team With Fourth Brother not around, I locked the door from the inside and lay down on the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened today, especially that Nine-Ring Jade Casket. When Tian Yuqing asked me to take a closer look the second time, I did notice something I hadn't seen before. On the right side of the casket, there was a faint painting applied with a special kind of paint, which I hadn't noticed at first. I guessed it must be a unique paint that only becomes…

Nine Rings C39
by MarineTL — Chapter 39: The Thief I stared at the casket, frozen in the act of unzipping my backpack, and stayed that way for over half an hour. The auntie on the lower bunk kept glancing up at me, probably thinking I had some kind of problem. When I first saw the Jade Casket sitting untouched in my bag, I could hardly believe it. My mind instantly flashed back to all the terrifying things Tian Yuqing had said about its origins. But truth be told, I’d never taken those stories seriously. In this world, at…
