"What did you say?"
In the office, Xie Yu froze when he heard the report over the phone. "Two people tried to break out of prison, and you caught them?"
"Yes, Acting Warden."
"Was there a fight? How did you catch them? Why weren't they shot on sight?"
"This... it's rather strange. I've been guarding this place for so many years, and I've never seen anything like it..." The officer on the other end sounded somewhat odd. "Anyway, there was no fight, and they were both very cooperative. Their attitude was... uh... very sincere."
"Very sincere?" Xie Yu was bewildered.
"Yes. Normally, when we encounter people trying to break out of prison, we kill them on the spot. But... they were just too cooperative. One of them was a chubby kid who even slipped a few Rolexes into my hand... No, anyway, they said they wanted a chance to turn over a new leaf." The officer spoke tentatively.
"Acting Warden, how should we deal with these two? Execute them on the spot, or..."
"Of course, execute them on the sp—no, wait!"
Xie Yu had originally intended to have them executed immediately. It was not the first time such overconfident fools had appeared; in the past, they had simply been killed and sunk into the sea. But halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something!

Today was not an ordinary day!
Xie Yu's expression changed. He walked to the window and fell into thought...
He remembered that The Whisperer had once said that on the day the signal was sent, he would arrange for people to lie in ambush around the Abstinence Hall. Once the timing was right, they would attack the Abstinence Hall from outside and divert the military's attention...
The Whisperer's signal had just been sent
