Nine Rings C106
by MarineTL — Chapter 106: Blowing up the Buddha The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda. I understood it as a stone tower meant for suppressing and performing the Transcendence Ritual for the souls of the dead. Lu A'yao told me that the incantations chiseled into the pagoda were actually the text of the Diamond Sutra. Logically, the chanting I heard was likely meant for lonely spirits. "What do you mean? Why can't any of you hear it, but I can?" I protested. I wondered if the Bodhisattva thought my soul was impure and wanted…

Nine Rings C85
by MarineTL — Chapter 85: Blackmail "What kind of help?" I asked. Han Jian said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, taking a boat to find that tower. I want you to come with me. We'll share information, and if there's really something there, we split whatever we find fifty-fifty. How about it?" I stared at him and smiled. "Why? Just because of a rubbing manuscript that may or may not matter, and a former owner who vanished into thin air? I don't buy it. I don’t believe that’s enough to lure you in. Uncle Han, your excuse…

Nine Rings C96
by MarineTL — Chapter 96: Leaping Across the Stone Pillars While I had been zoning out for just a moment, Chen Canghai had already leapt onto a stone pillar not far ahead. I slowly got to my feet, trying to gauge the distance between me and that pillar. No matter what, I needed a bit of mental prep before jumping. Thankfully, it wasn’t too far. I didn’t dare hesitate. Clamping the flashlight between my teeth, I shut my eyes and jumped like a toad. I landed with both hands on the stone, hitting it with a dull…

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 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 C97
by MarineTL — Chapter 97: Encountering the Infant Corpse Again The process had been grueling, but I’d finally figured out the pattern. With that, things became much easier. Chen Canghai would jump first, then it’d be my turn. I stood there watching him arc gracefully through the air in a perfect parabola, and I couldn’t help but feel a stab of envy. Why was everyone so damn good at this? It was like I was the only clueless idiot on the entire ship. I crouched slightly and slowly edged toward the rim of the…

Nine Rings C76
by MarineTL — Chapter 76: Finding Reinforcements When I said that, He Yu laughed. “What kind of good stuff could you possibly have? Just to eat your bowl of braised noodles, I’d have to run a few hundred kilometers.” I chuckled too. “Ever heard of the legendary Nieyao Ghost Market Map?” There was a sudden clatter on the other end of the line, like chopsticks hitting the floor. Then He Yu started shouting, “Boss lady! Check, please!” “What’s going on with you today, Xiao He? You’re not eating…
