"Hmph, I noticed you lurking outside a long time ago. We deliberately withdrew the guards from the courtyard to lure you in. You really took the bait.
Speak, who are you and what are you doing sneaking into the prison?"
A guard glared at Wan Lei, the golden staff in his hand already emitting Qing Qi (pure energy).
Wan Lei didn't say a word, clenching his fists.
"Hmph, being stubborn, are you? We'll see if you talk after we capture you and throw you in the dungeon. Brothers, attack!"
The guards swarmed forward, attacking Wan Lei.
Wan Lei remained silent, raising his fists to fight back.
"Mr. Ying, did you forget to remind the guards not to capture him?"
A Shang Shan Ren (Upper Benevolent One) looked at Ying Gou in confusion.
"No, I didn't forget. Let everything happen naturally. If I deliberately told the guards not to capture him, it would arouse his suspicion and ruin my plan.
He's a Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner). Those guards can't capture him. At this time, he should forcefully break through the defenses and kill his way in to rescue Selena."
"Oh, I see."
The two Shang Shan Ren (Upper Benevolent Ones) suddenly understood, then looked towards the prison.
"A Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner), how long has it been since we've seen one? If we kill him, how much merit will we gain?"
No Shan Ren (Benevolent One) can resist the desire to "eliminate" sin and increase merit.
"We definitely have to kill him, but not now. We have to wait until he leads us to the core hub before we kill him.
Now, let's see how he rescues Selena."
"Yes, Mr. Ying, they're fighting. This sinner seems to be at a disadvantage. He's no match for the guards at all.
Look, he barely has any power to fight back. He's down. Look, the guards have captured him and tied him up."
"That's not right, Mr. Ying. Isn't he a Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner)? How could he be so easily captured by a group of Zhong Shan (Middle Benevolent) and Xia Shan Ren (Lower Benevolent)?"
Watching the blue-clothed sinner youth being escorted away, Ying Gou's eyes were deep in thought.
After a moment, he suddenly slammed the railing and laughed loudly,
"Hahahaha, I understand now. This person is really scheming."
"What do you mean, Mr. Ying?"
"I just went over everything from beginning to end. Their scheme started from the moment the girl entered the city."
"Please enlighten us, Mr. Ying."
"The girl entered the city first to find out the location of the prison. She didn't ask so many other people, but insisted on asking the law enforcement officer.
Perhaps they really didn't know the location of the prison, but I think her purpose was more to attract our attention.
She first found the law enforcement officer, and then deliberately went south when she knew the prison was in the west of the city, just to arouse the law enforcement officer's suspicion.
She must have known that the law enforcement officer was secretly following her. She deliberately told the youth the news in order to let us know that they were going to break into the prison.
I think the reason they did this is because they don't know where Selena is being held, and they want to rely on our hands to find Selena."
"I'm getting more and more confused as I listen."
"Hmph, idiot, they successfully attracted our attention in order to let us capture that sinner youth and then lock him up in the prison.
Think about it, a Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner), this is a major criminal, he must be locked up in the most heavily guarded place, and that place is very likely where Selena, this serious offender, is being held.
What a good strategy. Using our hands to find their target, and then successfully rescue her, hahahaha."
"But, Mr. Ying, if they think like this, they just need to kill their way into the prison and go to the dungeon to find her. With his strength, he can do it. Why deliberately let us know?"
"Because they don't know that we already know their plan, because that youth is a Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner), understand, you idiot?
A Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner) cannot be captured by guards at all, only our Shang Shan Ren (Upper Benevolent Ones) can do it. This way, their plan is foolproof.
However, that sinner youth never expected that we didn't take action, so after the initial fierce resistance, he suddenly weakened and was captured by a group of Zhong Shan Ren (Middle Benevolent Ones).
In any case, their plan was successful."
"I see, so what should we do now?"
"Now? Just wait and see. By the way, notify the guards to install listening devices in Selena's cell, and put this youth in the room next to Selena.
Don't they like to play tricks? Then let's do a...
Counter-scheme!"
"High, that's really high, as expected of Mr. Ying. However, this is the thing, Mr. Ying, I'm still a little worried. After all, the other party is a Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner). What if things go wrong and they escape?"
"Hmph, how could they possibly escape? After they escape from the prison, we will immediately follow them. They will definitely go to retrieve the core hub, and we can take action after they get the core hub.
Don't tell me that the three of us Shang Shan Ren (Upper Benevolent Ones) with the blessing of the Wheel of Morality can't even take down a Shang Zui Ren (Upper Sinner).
Worst case scenario, if we really mess things up, isn't that girl still in our hands?
According to my observation, the relationship between this sinner youth and that girl must be extraordinary. At that time, we can use this girl to threaten him, hahahaha."
"Foolproof, Mr. Ying, your plan is foolproof. That little thief thinks his plan is perfect, but little does he know that it's full of loopholes and you see it clearly."
"Hahahaha."
"After this, we can't call you Mr. Ying anymore, we should call you City Lord Ying."
"You flatter me, you flatter me, hahahahaha."
"Then... what about that girl? Should we use torture to extract a confession?"
"Don't worry about her. We know everything about their actions, so what's the point of extracting a confession? Just keep a close watch on her."
Wan Lei had already been escorted to the building. What awaited him would be his first experience of imprisonment in his life.
Yes, he really didn't know where Selena was. This was all part of the plan. He needed to be captured on purpose to find Selena's location.
After all, with his strength, it would indeed be a little difficult for the other party to capture him. Fortunately, Young Master Lei's "acting skills" were relatively good.
Wan Lei didn't say a word from beginning to end. Strangely, the guards didn't ask any questions and threw him into the dungeon.
The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Everyone was acting, just to see who acted more realistically.
After being thrown into this smelly cell, Wan Lei began to carefully look around.
This was a cell made of pure iron, with fences all around, probably for the convenience of prisoners communicating with each other.
But it may also be to allow prisoners to see other prisoners being beaten, which can serve as a deterrent.
For example, in the cell next to Wan Lei, there was a disheveled female prisoner tied to a wooden frame, being whipped by a guard.
