Chapter 51: Chapter 49 Confrontation

Upon hearing Dick’s words, everyone in the ceremony hall, including the audience in the live stream, was stunned.

Everyone looked at Dick in amazement.

The viewers in the live stream had somewhat anticipated that Dick would target Xiao Yi, but they didn’t expect it to be so direct—directly demanding Xiao Yi to die!

And to use such a despicable yet noble excuse "for the sake of everyone"!

Sheraya’s eyebrows also furrowed, "Dick, what do you mean?"

"Just as I have said before, we must execute the wolf, but currently, there is no one to suspect," Dick’s smile remained, "Therefore, we must eliminate someone who is of little significance to the Feast, reduce the numbers, and allow the Tomb Guardian to confirm Xiao Yi’s identity, exchange information, and further narrow down the wolf’s hiding space. It’s quite a reasonable strategy, don’t you think?"

Although it was cruel, it indeed was a reasonable strategy.

If the person to be executed wasn’t oneself, everyone would likely be willing to accept this method, especially since the person was an unfamiliar outsider.

But Sheraya could also see that Dick’s main goal in doing this was to seize control and dominate the situation.

He wanted to use Xiao Yi as a sacrifice to secure his leading position!

If the Tomb Guardian later confirmed Xiao Yi as the wolf, then Dick’s position would be unshakable!

How could Sheraya allow such a thing to happen? But just as Sheraya was about to speak up, an unexpected person beat her to it.

"Hold on a minute! You’re friends, aren’t you?" Iron Brother stared at Dick incredulously, "Why? How can you so casually tell your own friend to die?"

Dick gave him a disdainful look, "Don’t you understand the situation? This is not a game, but a ritual about life and death! Conscience, emotions, and such are only going to constrain us now, and not only will they not save anyone, but they will also lead to more deaths. Do you want to die? Do you want to take everyone down with you? Or perhaps, do you have a better idea?"

"I..."

Iron Brother couldn’t refute Dick since Dick had always tightly held onto the point of "the interests of the majority."

Iron Brother could only look towards the old woman, hoping she would have a solution.

But the old woman just silently watched, saying nothing.

On the surface, the old woman seemed neither supportive nor opposed, but in reality, her silence, being the one with the highest authority in the village, was an implicit approval of Dick’s actions!

She couldn’t think of any better method either.

"..." Seeing this, Iron Brother, like the others, could only remain silent.

"...!"

Seeing the atmosphere of the Feast rush toward the execution of Xiao Yi, Sheraya stood up urgently!

There was no time to consider anything else! Since Dick wanted to execute Xiao Yi, there was only one thing for Sheraya to do—to stop Dick!

"Wait a moment! Are you really planning to execute someone? Just like that, without reason, you would let someone die!? Absolutely absurd!"

Upon hearing this, most people in the ceremony hall avoided Sheraya’s gaze, but Dick did not look away and confronted her.

"Of course," Dick said, "this is a ritual of life and death. This is the Feast, which you should also understand, right?"

"What crap Fest!" Sheraya pointed angrily at Iron Brother, "This must be your village people’s ploy to rob and murder outsiders!"

Iron Brother’s reaction had already shown that he did not support Dick’s approach, so Sheraya pulled him into the conflict!

"It’s not like that!" Iron Brother immediately stood up, "You’re misunderstanding! We definitely don’t have such intentions! This is just his opinion alone, it has nothing to do with us! Besides, wasn’t it you who first brought up this proposal?"

"What...!" Dick was startled, finally understanding the true intention behind Sheraya’s actions!

So that’s the tactic...

Dick wanted to gain the trust of the villagers and integrate into their ranks, but Sheraya dragged him back into the outsider’s group, distinguishing between the villagers and outsiders.

Dick’s strategy reliant on "the interests of the majority" was predicated on believing the Feast was real. Thus, Sheraya negated the premise.

Such unthinkable events might be normal for the villagers by now, but a typical outsider would be skeptical, suspicious that it was a ploy for murder and robbery, which made sense.

Sheraya simply showed this normal side of humanity. In contrast, someone like Dick, who fully believed and even suggested killing without question, now appeared abnormal.

Doubts about Dick began to grow in the hearts of the villagers. Is someone who betrays his friend so easily really to be trusted?

Seizing the opportunity, Sheraya pressed on, following Iron Brother’s lead and growling at Dick:

"Right, indeed it was us! The ones who brought it up first on this side. But I didn’t realize you would be such a person, courting the favor of the majority to save your own life, willing to cast aside your own companions. I really shouldn’t have trusted you!"

"You!"

"Your words today seem to conflict with your behavior yesterday,"

Dick was about to say something, but unexpectedly, at that moment, the old woman spoke up.

"Yesterday, you listened quite seriously to the story of the Feast and didn’t show any sign of opposition all along while you kept our rules, but why do you seem like a completely different person today? It’s very strange, young man..."

The old woman looked at Sheraya, her words and gaze not hiding her suspicion.

"...!" Sheraya hadn’t expected the old woman to stand up and openly question her at this time!

Because of the old woman’s influence, almost everyone in the ceremony hall looked at Sheraya with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
