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 C118

by MarineTL — Chapter 118: A Good Meal I didn't say anything. Chen Canghai rarely crawled over from the other end, but he had clearly overheard our conversation. "I don't know what happened between you two," he said, "but in our current situation, we should try not to harbor too many suspicions. We can just ask him these questions once he wakes up." Chen Canghai's words actually cleared up the things I hadn't been able to figure out. I sat cross-legged in the tunnel, looking at the cut on my palm. "You're…

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 C182

by MarineTL — Chapter 182: Internal Strife He Yu squinted as he leaned in front of me. After observing for a moment, he let out a confused sound. "Huh? That's not right. This doesn't look like it was built with stones. Look at that material—how does it look so much like concrete?" His eyesight had always been excellent, or at least much better than mine. Hearing him say this, I hurriedly leaned into the beam of his flashlight to take a look. Upon closer inspection, I realized He Yu might actually be right this…

Nine Rings C214

by MarineTL — Chapter 214: The Boss I didn't quite understand, so I asked him to elaborate. Qian Deli coughed twice, glanced toward the door, and lowered his voice. "I used to do business and made some friends around here. While we were drinking, I heard them say that in villages nestled against the mountains like this, you have to lock your doors and windows tight once winter hits. No matter what noise you hear at night, you can't open the door. That's because the noise likely isn't made by a person, but most…

Nine Rings C246

by MarineTL — Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After a moment's consideration, I decided I couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating at that pace would lead to disaster. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope found in the shop to tie up the two crazed men. He Yu would stay behind to watch them while I scouted the nearby area for any other clues. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot. When they looked up from their bowls, they gave…

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…
