Nine Rings C02
by MarineTL — Chapter 2: Fourth Brother's Guest Inside a courtyard on Longshan Road in Langling, Henan, I sat on a long bench, having waited for over an hour. The half cup of tea in my hand had been refilled and cooled numerous times. I checked my watch for the 32nd time, thinking that if no one showed up in ten minutes, I'd buy a train ticket for the afternoon and leave. This private residence was left by my grandfather. It was kept very clean, with a spirit tablet and incense burner on the altar. My grandfather's…

Nine Rings C34
by MarineTL — Chapter 34: Luan Jade The Underground River was likely beneath the sand layer. When we first entered this place, we saw dragon pillars on all four sides and naturally assumed we were in a square-shaped Side Chamber. But that wasn’t the case. After I toppled the bronze cauldron, a massive and ancient mechanism hidden in the walls was forced open. The floor tiles began to collapse, and all the quicksand poured down into the lowest level—the Underground River. Only then did we see the original structure…

Nine Rings C66
by MarineTL — Chapter 66: An Unexpected Reunion This time, I was unconscious for much longer than before. I had a long, drawn-out nightmare. In the dream, I didn’t even know when I had climbed down from the bronze pillar, but I suddenly saw Lai Qi emerging from the water in an eerie, unnatural posture. He was holding a knife and chasing me around the base of the pillar, shouting that I had to pay with my life. We ran around the massive pillar three full times. In the end, I couldn’t run anymore, so I turned and…

Nine Rings C98
by MarineTL — Chapter 98: The Same Tunnel When I woke up in the tunnel again, I had no idea how much time had passed. I had collapsed inside without any warning, head in and feet out, still frozen in the crawling position I’d last been in. I lay there for a while. At first, I thought I’d arrived in the underworld, but when I realized I wasn’t dead, I sat up too fast and nearly scraped my head on the ceiling of the tunnel. My back felt cold. I shifted my shoulders slightly and noticed I couldn’t really feel…

Nine Rings C13
by MarineTL — Chapter 13: The Grand Archaeological Project I am someone who is rarely curious about anything, and following this team to this point without knowing much is already my limit. Tian Yuqing was very adamant; if I were to learn everything from him, I would have to stick with the team to the end. On this point, his stance was firm. But abandoning Fourth Brother and running off on my own was something I could never do. My mother was a very career-driven woman. As soon as she finished breastfeeding, she left…

Nine Rings C45
by MarineTL — Chapter 45: The File Folder After the police finished questioning me and taking my statement, they left. I sat in the chair, watching Xiao Wu direct people to clean up the scattered account books on the floor, my mind still in a daze. "Young Master, stop thinking about it. It’s definitely that bastard Hou Jinshan! Didn’t you say he tried to steal our box on the train? And now, right after that Lu family heir left, our shop gets hit—who else could it be?!" Xiao Wu squatted on the floor, gathering…

Nine Rings C77
by MarineTL — Chapter 77: Sorting Things Out Xiao Wu was one of Fourth Brother’s people, so I couldn’t count on him anymore. Lu A’yao’s phone had been unreachable the entire time. That guy was like a ghost—always vanishing, full of secrets. I didn’t plan on asking him for help either. At this point, the only person I could rely on was He Yu. I went downstairs and packed two servings of stewed noodles for him, then dragged a small stool over to the table in the living room. I leaned over it and spent a…

Chapter
Nine Rings C109
by MarineTL — Chapter 109: The Wrong Path Fifteen minutes to memorize an entire map was no simple feat, especially since the structure was frustratingly complex. After Qiao Sangui finished speaking, I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my brain to stay calm, then quickly looked down to start memorizing. When a person focuses intently on a single task, time always seems to slip away with inexplicable speed. After carefully examining every section of the map, I had essentially committed it to memory. As soon as the…
