Chapter 423: Chapter 309: Self-Introduction

"And... has someone died?"

Xiao Yi still remembered, the rule stated that a murder must occur within three days, and then... he must investigate who the murderer was.

However...

"..." Looking at the pitch-black sea, Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This should be considered suicide, right? It should not count as a murder case, I killing myself is not the same as me killing someone... That’s the logic."

Moreover, the rule said that a murder case would inevitably take place within three days; anyway, Xiao Yi had only been here for thirty minutes; there was no need to be so anxious.

"This is... troublesome," said the uncle next to Xiao Yi in a cold voice. "It seems that the person who knew the truth has died, and... his death has also proven that the situation we are facing is far from a simple reality show. This is... someone truly seeking revenge."

"Mhm..." The woman in the gown also said, "And with his death, it’s not over. He mentioned twelve years ago, which I guess is the key. It seems... all of us here are related to something that happened twelve years ago, which is why we have been brought here. Unless the person seeking revenge, that is the one who has committed the sins, dies, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave."

"Baseless speculation is better off unsaid," the uncle frowned and remarked. "Lest it shakes people’s hearts and causes panic. But fortunately, only the three of us have come out, and we all seem to be rational enough not to lose our wits easily, so it’s fine to discuss."

After that, the uncle glanced at the dark sea again, then turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Let’s go back; now, the seven people on the ship have become six. We should inform the others about this."

"...I have no objections," said Xiao Yi.

"No objections are good, but..." the uncle’s voice grew heavier as he asked, "I want to know, do you have any suggestions?"

"...Suggestions?"

"Yes, any suggestions on what we should do next..."

"Mhm..." Xiao Yi said, "For now, let’s head back, but afterwards, let’s ask everyone present if they have any recollection of what happened twelve years ago. It might not be useful since those who really know something can play dumb, but... at least we can rule out those who truly know nothing."

"...Makes sense, let’s go."

Thus, the three of them returned to the hall...

"What... what happened?"

As soon as they returned to the hall, the mature and charming big sister hurriedly asked:

"What about the unnamed gentleman?"

But the remaining strong man and the homebody girl remained silent, not saying anything, and even... seemed not very interested in the matter.

Next, they informed the others that the middle-aged man had died.

"How could it be..." The mature big sister’s expression dimmed as well.

"..." The other two remained unmoved.

"Let’s calm down a bit," the uncle raised his voice, addressing everyone present. "Anyway, there is a certain reason why we have come here. If someone has indeed gathered us here for revenge, then our situation from now on could be somewhat perilous. We must help each other out to overcome this hardship, but before that, we need to get to know each other first."

"..." The big sister looked at the trio of Xiao Yi and stayed silent for a moment before she reluctantly agreed, "You, you’re right. We don’t even know each other’s names, not even what to call each other; it is indeed very dangerous. We must help each other out."

"..." The other two were still silent.

The homebody girl seemed very reluctant to say anything, clearly resistant, but at this point, her opinion was no longer important.

"Well, if no one has any objections, then let me start..."

The uncle took a deep breath and began his self-introduction:

"My name, I’m called Hashlot, nicknamed Hart, a middleman, primarily doing business that connects wealthy people with slightly dangerous individuals. Of course, I myself am not a dangerous person; rather I’d say I’m pretty decent. As for why I conduct such business, one could say it’s due to life’s pressures."

This uncle, that is, Hart, continued:

"Right, the man mentioned something about twelve years ago, which I guess it’s an important clue. We might as well disclose what happened to us twelve years ago, maybe we’ll find some special commonality among us, thereby discovering the reason we are here."

Hart took a good lead by sharing all the information needed, so, following his lead, if others gave too little information during their introduction, they would draw the attention of everyone else.

Therefore, those who actually knew something definitely wouldn’t want such scrutiny and would share sufficient information.

However, to not arouse suspicion usually requires lying, and the more lies one tells, the easier it is to be exposed. It could be considered a sort of dilemma.

"As for what I was doing twelve years ago..." Hart then scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Truth be told, I don’t remember what I was doing back then. After all, it was such a long time ago, not having experienced anything particularly significant, it’s hard to retain any memories."

Mhm... But then Hart himself ruined the good start he made, so now the others had to do no more than say they didn’t remember.
