Chapter 54: Chapter 52: Day 1 Voting

Inside the live broadcast, people from four countries were stunned as Xiao Yi reversed the entire Feast’s direction with just one sentence.

Suddenly, the entire live stream exploded.

Japanese: "Xiao... Brother Xiao Yi actually knocked Dick down? Even Sheraya couldn’t do that!"

Dragon Country People: "It feels as if Sheraya and Dick were fighting a supreme battle at the edge of the universe, erasing even the great paths, and then Brother Xiao Yi steps in and knocks Dick down with just two punches."

Lighthouse Country People: "This... Are you telling me this is an IQ of 6? Who the hell would believe that? Xiao Yi must have some shady connection with Analog Horror that they secretly changed the data! I’m going to report this!"

Dragon Country People: "Is there a possibility that Brother Xiao Yi’s IQ isn’t 6, but when Analog Horror tested his IQ, all they could say was 6, as if the IQ column had a question mark?"

Dragon Country People: "Now that you mention it, I suddenly realize IQ 6 and IQ question mark do seem quite similar."

Dragon Country People: "Ah? How are they similar?"

Dragon Country People: "IQ: ¿"

Dragon Country People: "Damn, it really is!"

Lighthouse Country People: "6"

Japanese: "6"

...

On the other side, feeling the intense scrutiny from everyone, Dick felt like he was cornered!

Although Xiao Yi didn’t seem very smart, it was precisely because of this that whatever he said seemed unintended and spontaneous, making him more convincing!

The very thing Dick had looked down upon about Xiao Yi had now become his nightmare!

"Wait... wait a minute!" Dick hurriedly defended, "I just wanted everyone to better advance the Feast, to find the Sekiro, I had no other intentions..."

But no matter what Dick said at this moment, the doubt in everyone’s eyes remained unwavering.

Rather, the more Dick spoke, the more everyone felt he was panicking and defending himself, and thus their doubt deepened.

"..." Helpless, Dick eventually shut his mouth.

"Alright, alright, everything you’re saying makes sense, and I do agree with this young man named Dick," said the old woman as she stood up and stated her stance, "However, this young man named Xiao Yi also makes sense, and at the very least proves he isn’t a useless person. According to what you said, we can’t execute him, right? Dick..."

"..." At this moment, other than remaining silent, Dick didn’t know how to respond.

The old woman continued, "Is there anything else anyone wants to discuss?"

"..." Dick remained silent.

Sheraya naturally had nothing more to say; as long as Xiao Yi was safe, there was no need for him to speak up.

However, Sheraya hadn’t expected that Xiao Yi actually had the strength to dominate over Dick; it was truly astonishing.

This solidified Sheraya’s conviction that he must protect Xiao Yi at all costs!

Meanwhile, Sheraya secretly glanced at Xiao Yi, the brilliance in his eyes now even more dazzling than before...

As for everyone else, they were at a loss for words. They had been stunned by Sheraya’s battle with Dick and couldn’t interject.

Not to mention now that Xiao Yi had ended the battle.

Seeing that no one else was speaking, the old woman said, "Then, let’s move to the final step of the Feast, which is... voting. Cast your vote for the person you suspect to be the Sekiro."

"..."

Upon hearing the mother-in-law’s words, everyone’s faces involuntarily changed.

It had finally come.

Voting, though casting merely one vote, could determine a person’s life or death. Whoever faced such a matter would inevitably find it difficult to accept.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to choose.

At that moment, Yun Sha suddenly stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry to interrupt, but please don’t vote for my daughter. If you must vote, vote for me instead."

"Mom..." Xi Yun couldn’t help but embrace Yun Sha.

Seeing this mother and daughter, everyone felt even more reluctant to vote.

While everyone hesitated, conflicted about whether to vote and whom to vote for, Xiao Yi spoke up again, asking the mother-in-law:

"Mother-in-law, I know what voting is, but must we really vote?"

"Yes," the mother-in-law nodded. "A voting execution is the only method we have to punish the wolves, and we can’t afford to waste even one."

At this point, Dick stood up: "Moreover, there are eleven of us. If we execute one person each day and the wolves kill one person each night, by the fifth day of the Feast, there will only be two scenarios left: two humans and one wolf, or two wolves and one human."

Sheraya also added, "In the two humans-one wolf scenario, the humans must execute the wolf to win, but humans may not know each other’s identities. A wrong vote would undoubtedly lead to a loss."

Dick continued, "And in the two wolves-one human scenario, since the wolves know each other’s identities, they are guaranteed to win! No matter how we look at it, our odds on the fifth day are too small, so I think we should treat the fourth day as our last and propose that we must execute someone."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then said something unexpected to everyone, "In that case, wouldn’t it be better not to vote at all?"

"...What did you say?" Dick frowned deeply.

"Look," Xiao Yi explained, "if we keep one more person, won’t we have four people on the fifth day? The more people, the greater the strength, so why should we fear a traitor then?"

"This..." Dick was stunned for a moment, "Indeed! There are only two wolves after all, so the situations could become two humans-two wolves or three humans-one wolf. Considering that by the end of the fifth night, if there are still humans alive, the wolves will be doomed. We are guaranteed to win in a three humans-one wolf scenario, and our odds are also very good with two humans-two wolves! How did I not notice this point? And I didn’t expect, Xiao Yi, that you would notice it."

"Isn’t this just simple addition and subtraction?" Xiao Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t you even know that?"

"You...!" Being mocked for his IQ by someone with an IQ of only 6, Dick’s forehead immediately bulged with veins!

But he couldn’t resort to violence! He had to hold back his anger!

The others also agreed with this proposal, as they were already reluctant about voting to kill. Xiao Yi’s suggestion gave them the option not to vote.

The only remaining question was what the mother-in-law, who held the highest authority in the village, would say.

"Five days, huh? That makes sense." The mother-in-law also nodded. "On the first day, when no one is suspicious, executing someone by vote is too radical, and most people are unwilling to do it. This method has not been tried before because the circumstances were different, but it’s worth trying. And indeed, the rules originally allow not voting, right?"

Saying so, the mother-in-law looked towards Sheraya.

"Um, yes." Sheraya nodded. "Rule Six states that one can choose to execute someone by vote, meaning you can choose to vote or choose not to vote, without any compulsory implication."

"Exactly." The mother-in-law looked at everyone else, "The rules are absolute, and if there is any uncertainty, you must refer to the content in the rule document!"

Seeing that the mother-in-law had no objections, everyone agreed with Xiao Yi’s proposal.

Thus, the first day of the Feast ended without anyone being executed by vote.

Although no one knew what would happen in the future, at least for now, everyone breathed a sigh of relief...except for Dick.

Xiao Yi, with just a few words, had assumed a dominant position in the Feast, causing Dick to clench his fists involuntarily.

Dick had thought his biggest enemies would be the mother-in-law and Sheraya, but he had not anticipated that Xiao Yi would be such a formidable adversary, having underestimated him and allowing himself to be outmaneuvered!

Dick couldn’t help but think of the words someone had once said to him.

From this, Dick resolved in his heart that during tomorrow’s Feast, he must be fully wary of Xiao Yi and seize Xiao Yi’s position!
