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 C107
by MarineTL — Chapter 107: Poisoning and Murder He Yu was still jumping around, complaining about how we had ruined him. He grumbled that he was already having a run of bad luck, and now that we had used the explosives he provided to blow the Buddha statue to smithereens, he would probably choke on a sip of cold water from now on. I retorted, telling him that since he knew he had been down on his luck for so many years, praying to Buddha clearly hadn't done him any good. I suggested we try a different approach,…

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 C86
by MarineTL — Chapter 86: Chen Canghai Han Jian was hiding a lot from us. After we finished sorting the contents of the packages on the second floor that night, there was still a good amount left over. These items were clearly contraband in the country, yet Han Jian didn’t seem the least bit worried. Around midnight, I heard muffled voices coming from the living room through the door. The next morning, when I went upstairs again, the black packages had completely vanished. At five sharp, I packed up and headed…

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…

Nine Rings C33
by MarineTL — Chapter 33: Abyssal Dragon Pillars As soon as he finished speaking, I saw He Yu clinging to the smooth Dragon-Coiled Pillar like a toad, his arms like iron pincers locking tightly around it as he climbed upward. Lu A’yao quickly reached a spot diagonally above me, while I was pitifully dangling from the iron chain. I didn’t have the upper body strength He Yu did, and just hanging here was clearly a massive waste of energy. If either of them were in my position, with their strength, they’d probably…

Nine Rings C65
by MarineTL — Chapter 65: Sudden Change After I finished speaking, Yu Jingzi didn’t respond right away. She straightened up, thought for a moment, then gauged the distance between us and the owl-faced relief sculpture. Finally, she nodded. “Seems like this is our only option now.” Then she turned and shouted to the team behind us, “Old Yang! Bring the gear! We’ll slide across with ropes!” Yu Jingzi clearly held a commanding position within her clan. No one questioned or opposed her decision. Later, I…
