People say that silent is gold. They have been silent for a hour. One full hour ah!
Young Master "...."
Ning Rui "...."
After meal time the room became silent and tranquil. No sounds could be heard although there are in the camp. Even if they didn't detain her in a special jail for torture that she imagined this place is really remote so even if a prisoner was tortured here their voice wouldn't travel that far. That's right this place is secluded that only a handful of people know the initial function. From outside it seems a normal tent but inside many kind of tools for torture can be found variety from small to big with bloodstained on the top.
Ning Rui didn't know how long they kept like that. At some point even she got really bored but this is not the time. She need to wait, waiting for someone that known her value. She didn't know how long she's waiting until a silhouette appears before her without much notice.
The sun has set a long time ago. No strand of hair could be seen because they didn't set the lamp, the young guard only look at her. He like a dog that wait his prey, remarkably patience. It's a little different from her initial review about him. Ning Rui think he only knows how to play and gamble.
"The General didn't tortured you because he felt sorry. I am sure you can understand that."
In a dim night that illuminate by the moon only his silhouette can be seen. Mesmerized by the white ray that traveled through the time and space.
Ning Rui "...." Why did he suddenly start a lecture? It's a night time! Silent please or you will be silenced by others people.
"Are you not afraid?" Although the time for her execution hasn't been finalized but the verdict has been given. Ning Rui even eat the meal with vigor, her spirit is remarkably strong.
"Dead? I have once."
Pondering for a moment her life really miserable, if she was a ancient woman she maybe a real spy that's why it would not be her lost. To die for her country in a mission was a honor. She died once before, so right know she is not that sure. What does she feel? Strangely she feels nothing ah. There are no sorrow, no fear, no hate there is really nothing. Even in this darkness that almost can eat people and wind that bring chills she is fine. Her mind was clear as water.
"What do you mean?"
She was died once? Is that what she said just now? Did he heard wrong because it's too dark and he is afraid? What does that mean? If not because his hearing as a practitioner that's slightly better than average people he would not catch her mumbling. Someone that died once. Does that mean the thing that in front of him isn't human? A ghost? No no, he hate ghost the most.
'Something that didn't have a material form how am I supposed to defeat it ah!' You could not punch, kick, or bind it. He started trembling and shrunk his body.
"Uh, I never had any intention to harming you. I even shared my meal. So could you spare me and haunt my brother instead? You know he is more handsome right?"
He started chant a prayer 'who knows what the' he chanted all he ever read.
"Amitabha Budha, I never do anything bad. I'm a good person, I help a Old lady cross the street. I ...I only made some pranked, right only a joke because my brother to strict I brought a woman to his tent who... who knows he will kill the woman.... bla... bla.... "
"Moron!"
She know he is a fool but not until this degree. If I am a ghost I will run away from here a long time ago. What the used chanting a prayer that he didn't even know the meaning. And that's not even a prayer but a confession! Where is the General Ah! Here heard him.
