"I'm thinking, since they can control so many paper effigies, why would they disperse their forces? If they used the paper effigies as scouts to find a breakthrough point, they could still break out with a full-force effort and save some people."
Lu Tiejun nodded, "If I were in the upper echelons, I would do the same."
"That implies they have other goals in mind, or rather, they are trying to distract us."
"You mean to say, their attempt to break out is a feint?" Lu Tiejun asked.
"Yes," you nodded, "they must be making other plans."
"What other plans could they have? Once the armed police arrive, this won't just be a game—it will be a confrontation with the regular army!"
You turned your head towards Xian Qianling and asked, "Captain Xian, what's your take on the Soul Refining Sect?"
"They're all madmen! Human life means nothing to them. To achieve their goals, they would sacrifice anything, even their own lives!"
