Nine Rings C291
by MarineTL — Chapter 291: The Visitor (Part 1) This happened during the second winter after Yinggan Tang changed its name and location. Since I had just returned to take charge and the ripples in the industry hadn't fully settled, Chen Canghai stayed at my shop doing odd jobs. It also made it easier for him to help me gather the latest intelligence. Times had changed, and it wasn't easy to fool anyone anymore. I had intentionally handed over power in the coastal Liu Family to their own reliable men, and I…

Nine Rings C78
by MarineTL — Chapter 78: 4341951009 After talking for quite a while, He Yu finally gave in. He asked, “You want to investigate the Five Masters? That’s not going to be easy. Especially Tian Yuqing and Chen Si, those two are the trickiest of the bunch. If they team up to come after you, you won’t even know how you died. Who do you plan to ask for help?” That question hit right at my blind spot. When it came to industry insiders and backdoor dealings, I was completely out of my depth. Everyone always said…

Nine Rings C110
by MarineTL — Chapter 110: The Lotus Statue The light of the fire-starter flickered in the stone passage. I stood alone before the stone wall. I didn't know the exact time, but it felt like a long while had passed. I had felt all around the seams of the stone wall, and there was no doubt it was a single, solid piece. Its surface was smooth, with no signs of mechanisms or grooves. Guangtou had picked up a stick from somewhere and was tapping it against the ground out of boredom. The contact between the stick and…

Nine Rings C142
by MarineTL — Chapter 142: Strange Occurrences 1 I woke up to the swaying of the car. As soon as I opened my eyes, He Yu's big face was right in front of me, scaring me half to death. He chuckled at me and called out, "He's awake, he's awake! Master Si, he's burning up with a fever this high, yet you still insisted on bringing him to such a dangerous place. That's really not right." Immediately after, I heard a familiar voice drift back faintly from the front passenger seat. "Even his classmates met with…

Chapter
Nine Rings C174
by MarineTL — Chapter 174: The Yin-Yang Thirteen Palaces I realized something immediately. I had been wrong from the very start when I first saw that string of numbers. I had been calculating based on what each part of the code represented after the founding of New China: for example, "434" stood for the 434 Archaeological Team, and "1951" likely referred to the year 1951. But I had forgotten one thing: the code for the Nine Rings Project was "4341951009." It didn't just refer to a single part. To truly understand…

Nine Rings C206
by MarineTL — Chapter 206: Punishment The nearest village was about a li ahead of the tracks. We had been on the train for less than three hours, so I estimated we hadn't even left Guangdong yet. The evening sky was overcast and gloomy, looking as though it were about to rain. The four of us waded through the tall weeds and entered the village. Looking back, I saw that several people with bloodied heads had followed our lead and jumped from the train. They were now trailing us like a pack of rabid dogs. I was just…

Nine Rings C238
by MarineTL — Chapter 238: The Hexagram I never imagined that encountering people in such a cramped environment could be so terrifying. I pressed my back against the stone wall and held my breath, silently praying to Namo Amitabha Buddha, God, and every deity above, begging them not to let that group take an interest in my direction. I stood there for I don't know how long until the light behind me gradually faded. Only then did I cautiously peek out. The shadows of the group were gone; they had likely headed deeper…

Nine Rings C270
by MarineTL — Chapter 270: Linggu The long-distance bus pulled off the highway and dropped passengers at the station. I followed close behind Lu Qianshan as he skirted around to the parking lot and climbed into a dilapidated sedan. I hopped in after him, and as soon as he buckled his seatbelt, he started driving toward the middle of nowhere. For a moment, I honestly thought he was looking for a secluded spot to do away with me. It wasn't until I saw several antique courtyard houses clustered together that I…
