Chapter 53: Chapter 51 I still know nothing

Dragon Country People: "Brother Xiao Yi looks so much like how I used to be, just attending class waiting for it to end! His main role was to accompany classmates. Whatever the teacher said, I turned a deaf ear to it, emphasizing participation! But this isn’t just any class, this is a life or death situation!"

Dragon Country People: "Is Brother Xiao Yi unable to understand his current situation, or has he not been listening to what others were saying from the start?"

Dragon Country People: "Brother Xiao Yi! Move! Why aren’t you moving? Why won’t you move!?"

At that moment, Xiao Yi finally made a move and looked up.

Just when everyone thought Xiao Yi was finally about to take some action, he instead looked towards the window.

Outside the window, a butterfly happened to flit by.

"Ah... it’s a butterfly."

"..."

After the butterfly flew away, Xiao Yi continued to play with his fingernails.

The live stream erupted once again in anguished cries.

Meanwhile, the conflict between Sheraya and Dick intensified and reached a point where others could no longer interject.

"Then I ask you! Why shouldn’t Xiao Yi be executed? How is he of any help to the Feast with that look!"

While he spoke, Dick forcefully pointed at the distracted Xiao Yi.

"... Huh? Calling me?"

Xiao Yi immediately showed the expression of a student who had drifted off in class and was suddenly called upon by the teacher.

Because Dick had specifically pointed him out, Xiao Yi finally began to listen to their conversation, officially joining the fray at the Feast.

"He..." Sheraya paused for a moment, then retorted, "Just based on this, you casually determine a person’s uselessness? That’s sheer arrogance! No matter who it is, their vote is crucial. Discarding it so casually only plays into the wolves’ hands."

"... Hm?" Xiao Yi was somewhat puzzled. Why were these two arguing?

Although he didn’t know what had happened, Xiao Yi nonetheless opened his mouth.

"You two..."

Seeing Xiao Yi start to speak, Sheraya and Dick stopped their argument and looked at him.

Upon realizing that Xiao Yi, who had actually been at the center of this storm, was finally speaking, everyone in the ceremony hall turned their attention to him.

So did the people in the live stream.

All Dragon Country People silently prayed in their hearts, hoping Xiao Yi would say something useful, or else he would truly be sentenced to death!

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Yi said this:

"I don’t know what you’re arguing about, but I’ve learned one thing: those who argue the most, become the least reasonable towards the end."

"... Huh?" Dick narrowed his eyes, "I thought you were going to say something else? That’s it?"

Dick had thought Xiao Yi would say something to defend himself, but he had merely tried to mediate! Maybe he had overestimated him! Could it be that he hadn’t grasped his own current situation?

However, what Dick didn’t expect was that Sheraya’s reaction was completely different.

"Indeed!" Sheraya nodded thoughtfully, "We really do seem more like we’re cursing each other out. If we decide who dies based on anything other than rational analysis, then we’re merely planting the seeds of conflict which will cause emotional decisions to far outweigh rational analysis, thus playing right into the wolves’ hands. Xiao Yi’s brief words are truly enlightening!"

"... Huh? It can be interpreted that way?"

Dick was stunned; he couldn’t understand why Sheraya was praising Xiao Yi so much, and he couldn’t help but look at Sheraya.

Following that, Dick saw that the way Sheraya looked at Xiao Yi seemed a bit odd! As if there were some desire in it!

Dick: "?"

Dick seemed to understand better why Sheraya was dead set on protecting Xiao Yi. Could this be the primary reason?

However, no matter what, Dick’s intentions hadn’t changed, so he said to Xiao Yi,

"Xiao Yi, if you want to survive, then prove yourself useful."

"Prove... myself?"

"Yes, this is a matter of life and death at the ceremony. We don’t need anyone who can’t contribute. So, if you think you will be useful for the Feast, tell everyone. This is your only way out."

"Useful for the Feast?"

Xiao Yi lowered his head in thought for a moment and then asked a question that nobody expected.

"By the way, what exactly is the Feast?"

"...What did you say?" Everyone was stunned.

"Cough cough!" The grandmother couldn’t help but cough. After all that I said yesterday, you didn’t listen to a single word!

Under the puzzled query from the people, "Didn’t we talk about this a lot yesterday?" Xiao Yi replied:

"When I hear too many complex things, I tend to fall asleep, but falling asleep while someone is talking is quite rude, right? So, a long time ago when I was still in school, I developed the ability to completely block out other people’s words. That way, I wouldn’t fall asleep. Respectful, isn’t it?"

"... " Everyone was left speechless. Who needed that kind of respect!

With a matter-of-fact look, Xiao Yi asked, "As far as I know, I still know nothing. So, can you tell me what exactly is going on first?"

No choice remained but to explain the Feast to Xiao Yi all over again.

This time, it was Sheraya who explained to Xiao Yi. He deliberately omitted the eerie details and simplified the information, hoping it would help Xiao Yi understand the Feast more swiftly and adequately.

However, seeing this scene, the people had already lost expectations for Xiao Yi.

Understanding the Feast now, it was too late.

Moreover, Xiao Yi’s performance had already cemented an impression among the people that he was of little use to the Feast.

Not to mention, Xiao Yi did not seem like someone who could offer any useful suggestions.

In the live stream, the Dragon Country people were already sighing.

Dick, watching Xiao Yi, still nodding as if he barely understood, couldn’t help but smile.

He was already assured of his victory. Now, all he needed to do was wait for Xiao Yi to be voted for death and gain the villagers’ trust. He was nearly guaranteed to win the Feast!

"So, I think I’ve got it," Xiao Yi said, not sure if he truly understood or was pretending.

Then, he asked Sheraya, "So, basically, it’s about finding the traitor among us, right?"

"Eh? Ah... That’s not a wrong interpretation," Sheraya responded.

"Isn’t that quite simple?" Xiao Yi said in a casual tone. "Since it’s the traitor, they must be very eager to gain everyone’s trust, right? So, we just need to keep an eye on the person who is always seeking everyone’s trust."

"...Eh?"

Everyone who heard Xiao Yi’s words was taken aback.

Then, in the next moment, all eyes converged on Dick!

The course of the Feast was completely reversed in that instant.

"Wha—!?" Dick gasped, taking a few steps back.

He had believed he was holding the winning cards, but due to Xiao Yi’s single remark! All his meticulously crafted efforts not only went to waste but also turned into a blade against him!

No one could have anticipated that with just one sentence, Xiao Yi would counterattack Dick!
