Chapter 427: Chapter 311: Deciphering the Game

"What are you blabbering about?" Wei’er sighed helplessly, "Come in quickly, we were just about to discuss some serious matters."

"Serious matters?" Hart was startled.

"Uh-huh..." Wei’er nodded, "What else could it be? You came to find Xiao Yi, surely you wanted to discuss the most urgent matter at hand, right? Isn’t that what ’serious matters’ are?"

"Eh... true." Hart nodded, then closed the door behind him, stepped inside, and asked, "So... what were you talking about before? How should I join in the conversation?"

"Nothing much..." said Wei’er, "Just that with such important information from twelve years ago, it’s not possible that everyone has completely lost their memory of it. Someone must be deliberately hiding something."

"Is that so?" However, Hart had a different opinion. He said, "I think that this clue from twelve years ago might really not be that significant; it could just be the ravings of that middle-aged man after he went mad. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with our current situation, so we shouldn’t pay too much attention to it. Especially since everyone claims to have no memory of twelve years ago, it pretty much confirms it’s not an important clue, right?"

"How could it not be an important clue?" Wei’er furrowed her brow and said, "That man said it himself, everything started twelve years ago! This ship was supposed to have sunk back then, yet here it still is! How can we simply ignore such an important clue?"

"But..." Hart still stuck to his view, "After all, that’s just one man’s word, and whether he’s related to this matter or trustworthy, we have no way of knowing. Not to mention, his mental state was obviously disturbed at the time, so the credibility of his words is up for debate. Rather, I’d like to ask, why are you so adamant about this? Why are you so sure something definitely happened twelve years ago?"

"You...!"

The two of them faced off with such intensity that neither seemed willing to back down, and it appeared unlikely they would reach an agreement.

"Uh..." At this point, Xiao Yi, who had been reluctant to get involved, couldn’t help but speak up. He said, "I have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?" Both of them turned to look at him.

"It’s just..." Xiao Yi said, "If you two want to argue, there’s actually a more suitable place for that, at least more suitable than my bedroom, which is meant for rest and sleep."

"Eh..."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, both of them showed an embarrassed expression and stopped arguing.

"So..." Xiao Yi then looked towards Hart and asked, "So... what are you here for? Surely not to argue with me, right?"

"No... let’s just drop this topic, please." Hart scratched his face awkwardly, then composed himself and said, "Actually, I came to ask for your help."

"... Help?" Xiao Yi immediately showed a bothered expression.

"It’s not really a big deal, just needs a little bit of thinking." Hart took a deep breath and then said, "Actually, I’ve discovered that this ship... has a hidden room."

"Hidden... room!?" Upon hearing this, Wei’er instantly became restless, "Where did you find it?"

"To be precise, I haven’t found it yet, just... I’ve inferred its location," Hart said.

"Inferred its location? What do you mean?" Wei’er asked again.

"Actually..." Hart explained, "The ship is still powered by electricity, right? So we don’t have to worry about lighting or using some devices. Then, I observed the arrangement of the electrical wiring in the cabin a bit and found that the wires leading to a certain place were strange. After observing and measuring distances, I discovered that behind one wall of the library, there’s a considerable space. It’s very likely to be the hidden room, and it might contain very important information."

"I see..." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "So, you discovered that there’s a hidden room behind that wall, but haven’t found a way to enter, so you want to find me to help you find how to open it, right?"

"That’s right." Hart nodded, "Impressive... you understand even without me saying."

"Small matter, it’s more impressive that you noticed that detail."

"Haha, too kind. I’m just... instead of believing in baseless things and wasting time, I’d rather do some actual investigation through practical actions to find more important clues that are real and right in front of us."

"..." Wei’er obviously knew that Hart’s words were a jab at her, but she could only stay silent, after all, the person indeed had found a clue.

"Just finding the mechanism to open the door?" Xiao Yi pondered for a moment then replied, "If it’s not too physically demanding, I might as well give you a hand."

"That’s great." Hart smiled joyfully, "The wall is quite large, and it’s really taxing to work on it alone. I’m glad you’re willing to help."

"... Ah? Taxing?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately frowned, "Can I say I regret agreeing?"

And the answer was clearly negative.

Having already verbally agreed, Xiao Yi was now dragged by Hart to the so-called library, and Wei’er, after saying "I’ll come too," hurriedly followed in their footsteps.

Xiao Yi then arrived at the so-called library and came to understand what Hart meant by "taxing."
