Hell, Black and White Impermanence

The prison guard had almost revealed the situation in Kunlun Prison, but his companion stopped him with a shout.

Ye Jinghong's expression changed. "You're courting death!" She lunged straight at the other guard.

The guard looked terrified, but in the end, he closed his eyes, looking ready to die in peace.

It seemed he had made up his mind.

"Brother, just tell them. When the time comes, as long as we deny that we told them, there's nothing they can do to us. A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Telling them might not get us into trouble, but if we don't, we might really die here."

I looked at him. He had thought it through quite clearly.

The guard whose throat Ye Jinghong was gripping wore a conflicted expression after hearing his companion. He was considering what the other man had said.

Ye Jinghong did not truly intend to hurt them. She only wanted to frighten them into telling us about Kunlun Prison.

I knew it was time for me to speak. We could not drag this out for too long. Their side might send reinforcements at any moment, and then questioning them would become even harder. We would have no choice but to force our way in.

"Big Brother, he's right. Even if you tell us, we won't spread it around. What happened just now was truly a misunderstanding. If things hadn't escalated through words, we wouldn't have acted rashly. Actually, even if you two say nothing, I can still guess some of it. Kunlun Prison is probably meant to imprison vicious people who should not belong in this world, such as figures who exist only in ancient legends or myths. Am I right?"

As I spoke, I watched the changes in their expressions.
