Chapter 450: Chapter 322: Pleading

"Grr...!"

After Xiao Yi spoke those words, the first to react wasn’t Ye Xi, but... Wei’er.

She immediately clenched her teeth tightly, her features forcefully squeezed together, with an expression as if her suspended heart had finally died.

Hart and Six, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, also immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"...Eh?"

And Ye Xi was, naturally, stunned.

When she heard that her own sister was the murderer, she immediately showed a shocked and incredulous expression.

This was also expected, because what Xiao Yi was suggesting was... that the real murderer was a little girl of perhaps only about ten years old, and what’s more important... that little girl had died twelve years ago.

For anyone, these remarks would be completely absurd and absolutely unbelievable.

However, under their current circumstances, after confirming the true existence of the particle known as Time Vibration, this possibility was not zero, it was not impossible!

After Ye Xi spoke about what she had learned from her sister Ye Lianyu about Time Vibration, it could be deduced that its function was not only to reverse time, but also to allow one to traverse time and reach different eras.

Even... to communicate with people from different times and, to some extent, interfere with another era.

So... considering it’s possible to that extent, even to go back to ancient times, then... going back twelve years, to before the tragedy had occurred, was theoretically feasible.

Once this point was considered, then... aside from them, the identity of the other people on this ship also became clear.

Undoubtedly, they were... the children from twelve years ago.

What Xiao Yi hadn’t expected was that Wei’er had already stated the truth of the case from the start—she had been saying all along that it was the ghostly revenge of the children from twelve years ago.

Turned out... it was indeed the case.

Initially, no one took it seriously, after all, at that time, without a deeper understanding and certainty of the existence of Time Vibration, such a scenario was too preposterous.

The reason Wei’er said such a thing was to lead everyone to dismiss the correct answer first, so that later thoughts couldn’t easily approach this aspect, thereby making it impossible to reach the real truth.

Human thought inertia is like that, and Wei’er’s deliberate concealment of this point, along with her attempt to frame others, essentially aimed to direct suspicion towards herself.

As for why Wei’er did this, Xiao Yi still didn’t know, so he decided to let the event unfold further before proceeding...

To push the plot forward was to enter the next stage.

Then, at this moment, someone immediately stood up to rebut:

"You... what do you mean my sister killed someone? What nonsense are you talking about!? My sister... she’s long gone already."

Sure enough, Ye Xi stood up right away, angrily denying Xiao Yi’s words.

"Ye Xi, I know you can’t accept it, but..." at this point, Hart advised, "Looking at it now, it’s not impossible. This matter is directly related to us right now, it’s very important, so instead of being controlled by emotions, it’s better to hear what Xiao Yi has to say."

"I..." Six hesitated for a moment but then nodded, "I think so too, you should calm down first."

"...!" Ye Xi couldn’t help but grit her teeth and said somewhat agitated, "Calm down? I have been calm the whole time, I’m not just agitated because Xiao Yi is accusing my sister of being the murderer, it’s because... I think this is impossible, that’s why I’m objecting! To suddenly claim such a thing... In the end, this reasoning is fundamentally flawed! How can you be so sure that... Time Vibration must be on this ship!?"

"Time Vibration is indeed on this ship."

At this moment, Xiao Yi finally stood up to start explaining:

"The reason I am so certain is because... Six mentioned earlier that he too had encountered a storm twelve years ago."

"So what?" Ye Xi retorted, "That’s just a coincidence, nothing more."

"But the storm was not a coincidence, it was... something that had to happen," said Xiao Yi, "There’s something you should have noticed, right? An extremely important premise behind Wei’er’s plan and method. Without this premise, Lin Huixue’s death would not have any abnormality or mystery."

"A... Premise?" Ye Xi was taken aback, then, she suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "The premise is... the storm!?"

"That’s correct," Xiao Yi nodded, "Without that storm, if a dining cart suddenly rushed through the hallway, anyone would find it strange and immediately follow to check on the situation, right? Then, Lin Huixue’s body would be found immediately.

However, a storm not only restricted all of our movements but also made the movement of a dining cart in the corridor seem reasonable. The waves triggered by the storm would cause the ship to sway and an unattended dining cart would naturally move along.

Then we would not chase after the dining cart immediately, but would instinctively look for Lin Huixue, who should have been pushing it, to ensure her safety. Thus, Wei’er’s plan could be implemented.
