Chapter 63: Chapter 61: Please Judge for Yourself

"Isn’t it obvious?" Ah Yi hastened to say, "of course, I am the Prophet! That guy is not trustworthy at all!"

Ah Yi quickly looked around at everyone in the village, "You all must believe me, right?"

But the others in the village remained silent.

"..."

Only Iron Brother hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ah Yi, I really want to believe you... If you were the only one claiming to be the Prophet, I would believe you. But the situation is different now, it involves everyone’s lives, and I can’t rush to judge... Do you have any proof that you are the Prophet?"

"I..."

Ah Yi was suddenly at a loss for words.

How could he possibly have such a thing!

The only engraving that could prove his identity had disappeared!

The ability to foresee could only be decided before falling asleep, and the answer would spontaneously emerge in his mind the next morning. This was evidence that couldn’t be presented!

Ah Yi had thought that just by declaring himself the Prophet, he could bring down Xiao Yi!

But he never imagined that the wolf would have the trick of masquerading as the Prophet!

Ah Yi felt anxious in his heart, what if others believed Sheraya was the real Prophet? The human side’s access to information would be completely controlled by the wolf! By then, the humans would surely lose!

But for Ah Yi to prove he was the Prophet, he also had no clue how to do it, was there any way?

However, before Ah Yi could think further, Sheraya spoke.

He looked at Iron Brother and slowly said, "Unfortunately, it’s impossible to prove oneself as the Prophet."

"... Eh? What do you mean?" Ah Yi was taken aback.

Sheraya looked at Ah Yi and explained, "It’s impossible for the Prophet to prove their own identity, as the only person with the ability to check identities is the Prophet. Self-verification is the least credible."

"Is... that so?" Ah Yi nodded slightly.

"I see," Iron Brother also nodded thoughtfully.

Only Dick frowned, as he sensed that the Feast was playing into Sheraya’s tempo!

And sure enough, Ah Yi looked at Sheraya and asked, "Then... how should I prove that I am the Prophet?"

"Actually, it’s simple," Sheraya couldn’t help but laugh, "Just clearly state the reason for declaring yourself the Prophet and convince everyone."

"The reason?" Ah Yi hastened to say, "I’ve already mentioned the reason before."

Sheraya nodded in acknowledgment, "I know. But... declaring your identity the very next day, you indeed rushed things."

"Is there a problem? Since I had already discovered the wolf, and given the situation at the time, I don’t think there was any issue." Dick tried to interject into the conversation.

"That’s right!" Iron Brother also testified, "That’s just Ah Yi’s character! His actions might seem impulsive, but if it’s him, then there’s no problem!"

Yun Sha and Xi Yun also nodded in agreement.

"Really? No problem at all ..." Sheraya said, "Then, please listen to why I revealed my identity as the Prophet, and afterwards, everyone can judge for themselves."

Taking a deep breath, Sheraya continued,

"I originally did not intend to disclose my identity today. I had planned to do so when I was certain that the majority of the identities were human, or after confirming the identities of two ’wolves’, but due to Ah Yi’s actions, I had no choice but to reveal my identity ahead of schedule. Otherwise, the wolves would take control of the Feast, putting us all in danger."

"..." Ah Yi remained silent.

"As for why the wolves would impersonate a prophet, I think the main reason is that yesterday, the wolves failed to kill anyone," Sheraya went on. "The wolves must have been very anxious, so they wanted to use this method of swapping places to force the real Prophet to reveal themselves, and by verifying identities through the corpses, they could also force the Tomb Guardian to come out. For the wolves, those with known identities are the biggest enemies and need to be dealt with first. This tactic is indeed very effective, as it can force out two individuals with identities all at once. Moreover, the identity of the guard has already been exposed, putting us in a very perilous situation."

"I can’t stand to listen anymore," Dick suddenly interjected. "You call these reasons? Aren’t these all just your own conjectures?"

"Then tell me, why would the wolves pretend to be the Prophet?" Sheraya retorted. "Besides that, can you think of any other possibility?"

"..." Dick fell silent.

"I’m not!" Ah Yi shouted again. "I am the Prophet!"

Afterwards, Sheraya stunned Ah Yi with a barrage of words.

"Shut up, don’t randomly interrupt others. If you must interrupt, do so with credible evidence, not meaningless shouting."

"..." Ah Yi fell silent as well.

At that moment, Xi Yun also asked with a stern face, "Wait, wouldn’t the wolf posing as the Prophet be doomed? After all, once their identity is verified, everything would be proven."

"Exactly," Sheraya nodded. "That’s why I said it’s a swap. Don’t forget, there are two wolves. Even if one dies, it can create a huge advantage for the other. It’s a tactic of sacrifice for victory, and indeed, it’s a very good strategy."

"But..." Xi Yun’s voice softened, "To achieve victory by sacrificing a fellow wolf, is that possible? And really, is there a wolf willing to die for that?"

"Rule Four: A wolf may not kill another wolf with their own hands," Sheraya suddenly brought up this rule and asked, "Why specifically write ’with their own hands’?"

"This..." Xi Yun was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Because violating the rule carries the risk of death," Dick pondered. "If it only stated that wolves can’t kill their fellows, and for instance, one wolf is completely exposed and everyone votes for the wolf, forcing the other wolf to also vote for him to ensure their own safety, it would then be judged as a wolf killing a wolf, which violates the rule. This would create a contradiction of needing to survive by violating the rule, but dying if the rule is violated. Thus, the rule was amended to include ’with their own hands’, where execution by vote isn’t judged as killing with their own hands, at most it’s just being an accomplice."

"Not just that," Sheraya continued. "It can also be used to achieve one’s own goal by utilizing the death of a fellow, like our current situation. A wolf might use a certain method, such as agreeing to eliminate someone their fellow would rather die than kill... using that as a means for the other wolf to be willing to sacrifice themselves for an advantage. Then, the wolf won’t be judged as having killed their fellow with their own hands. This method is feasible."

"I definitely don’t have someone I’d rather die than kill," Ah Yi retorted coldly.

Hearing Ah Yi’s words, Sheraya said, "Are you sure?"

"There’s none!" Ah Yi roared. "If there is, then point them out!"

Sheraya sighed lightly, "Ah Yi, just keep some dignity for yourself, stop talking."

Although Sheraya said nothing more, upon hearing his words, everyone inevitably looked toward Xiao Yi.

The way Ah Yi had treated Xiao Yi recently had not gone unnoticed by everyone.

At this, Sheraya added another comment, "Of course, this is only my speculation. I ask everyone to judge for themselves."

Dick frowned; the scales of this Feast had clearly tipped completely to one side.
