Chapter 58: Chapter 56 Ancestor Temple

Someone died?

How could this be possible! Sheraya knew in his heart that as a werewolf, neither he nor Xiao Yi had killed anyone last night!

What was going on?

Sheraya almost cried out, but he managed to hold back, only furrowing his brows tightly.

No one had been killed, yet someone had died. This was clearly abnormal; something out of the ordinary must have happened.

If he were to show surprise at someone’s death now, Dick might question why the death was so surprising. Wasn’t it normal for wolves to kill people? Could it be you knew that the wolves hadn’t killed anyone last night?

No matter what, he couldn’t reveal that he knew... only what the wolves would know.

"Eh? Someone died! Who was it?" Xiao Yi, however, did not conceal his shock at all.

But that didn’t matter because it would be abnormal for Xiao Yi not to react that way. In fact, Dick glanced at Xiao Yi, his mind racing with thoughts, but in the end, he did not become suspicious.

Sheraya also asked, "Dick, who was killed by the wolves last night?"

"..." Dick looked at the two of them for a moment before saying, "Last night, the wolves didn’t kill anyone; it seems our guard protected the right person, huh."

"No one was killed?" Sheraya was somewhat surprised. "Then why did someone still die? What exactly happened? Also, who died?"

"...The person who died was Grandma, and as for the reason, you can see for yourselves."

Saying this, Dick pointed toward the source of the sound.

"Grandma died?"

Xiao Yi’s expression changed dramatically, and Sheraya also showed a look of astonishment as both turned towards the direction Dick was pointing.

Everyone in the village was gathered together, their faces filled with grief, sorrow, and confusion.

Grandma’s body was right in front of them.

However, Grandma’s body was strange. She was covered in bite marks, her aged body completely withered, her organs exposed, but without a single trace of blood—much like the beasts that had fallen from the sky on the day they entered the village.

But unlike those beasts, what was incomprehensible was that Grandma’s body was continuously emitting small white specks of light for some unknown reason.

Ah Yi was now weakly kneeling in front of Grandma’s body, his only kin gone, no knowing how long he had been crying.

Moreover, unexpectedly, the village elder, who was already delirious, was also kneeling in front of the body, making sobbing sounds that conveyed his grief.

Xiao Yi and Sheraya also realized that at this moment, it was better not to ask anything and retreated to the same position as Dick and the others.

After mourning Grandma for a while, the villagers worked together to bury her.

There was no funeral, as the Feast had to be carried out today.

...

Once in the dining hall, and after being comforted by the others, Ah Yi slowly began to talk about the situation with Grandma yesterday.

"Yesterday, Grandma suddenly stood at the door in a daze, then all of a sudden she said she wanted to go to the Ancestor Temple," Ah Yi said. "I offered to go with her, but she said she could return quickly and told me to wait for her obediently, but... I kept waiting until the moment I unexpectedly fell asleep, and she never came back!"

"Ancestor Temple?" Xiao Yi asked. "What is that?"

"It’s not a thing; it’s a shrine where we venerate our village ancestors," Xi Yun explained. "Grandma’s old friends, family members, everyone who died in the past due to the Feast, they are all there. It’s just... we don’t know the exact location of the Ancestor Temple."

"You don’t know the exact location?" Yuzuki Hibiki was surprised. "Shouldn’t the Ancestor Temple be a place where you often go to kneel and worship? How can you not know?"

Iron Brother spoke up to answer, "Grandma deliberately didn’t tell us the location of the Ancestor Temple. She said there were already enough people in the Ancestor Temple, enough who had died because of the Feast."

"Let’s put aside the Ancestor Temple for now; that’s not important," Dick looked at everyone, "Anyway, the cause of Grandma’s death must have been that she failed to meet the mandatory sleep time last night and was still outside the building, violating Rule Three, and then... that was enforced death, right?"

Dick remembered the gruesome state of Grandma’s corpse, sending a chill down his spine.

"That’s right," Yun Sha spoke. "I heard from Grandma that those who violated the Feast’s rules all died in that manner. Death by wolves is different, just a very normal manner of death."

"From this, we can determine that Grandma wasn’t killed by wolves, but instead misjudged her own speed and the time of nightfall, failing to make it in time for sleep and thus violating rules leading to her death," concluded Dick.

"No!" Ah Yi angrily looked at Dick, "Grandma was not the kind of person who couldn’t tell time!"

"Then, there might have been some accident on the road," continued Dick. "Even if it’s a route walked every day, no one can guarantee that there will absolutely be no accidents, let alone considering Grandma’s old age..."

Ah Yi lowered his head in silence.

"Died because of an accident? Then it really is... inevitable," Xiao Yi said with a somber expression, unable to help wondering, "But it’s strange, why did Grandma suddenly want to go to that Ancestor Temple?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s question, Ah Yi suddenly roared at Xiao Yi, "What’s so strange about it! The Feast is coming again; isn’t it normal for her to want to reminisce about her past family members in the Ancestor Temple!?"

"Ah Yi," Xi Yun stepped forward and said, "I know you are grieving, but even so, you can’t just lash out at people."

Ah Yi turned his head away, saying no more.

Dick looked back at the group, "Ah Yi has a point; there’s nothing strange about it, and besides the Ancestor Temple, shouldn’t what we need to focus on right now be the Feast?"

Hearing this, everyone in the village nodded.

Yes, regardless, the Feast must be held. Instead of being sad, it would be better to think more about how to end this damned Feast sooner.

But soon, the villagers realized a problem.

They had always relied on Grandma, but now that Grandma was no longer here, who could they rely on?

Who in the village was still trustworthy?

Many people couldn’t help but feel lost.

Meanwhile, Dick looked at these people and was clear about the confusion in their hearts. But precisely because he was clear, a slight smile involuntarily spread across his lips.

Now that Grandma was no longer here, it was undoubtedly the best opportunity!

Sheraya watched Dick with that sly smile, knowing without thinking that Dick must be up to something.

Sheraya wanted to warn Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi wasn’t concerned about these things at all.

What Xiao Yi cared about more was that today’s food was still very scarce!

"Chef!" Xiao Yi finally couldn’t bear it any longer, ran into the kitchen, and attempted to reason with the chef properly!
