Chapter 64: Chapter 62: Give them all a beating

"What do you mean?" Ah Yi still hadn’t grasped what Sheraya meant.

But when Ah Yi suddenly noticed that the gazes of most people had begun to settle on Xiao Yi, he finally realized the implication!

"Wait... wait a moment!" Ah Yi hurriedly said, "You all can’t possibly think that I’m the wolf willing to die just to kill Xiao Yi, can you? It’s not like that! I admit I don’t really like him! But I wouldn’t go so far as to stake my own life over something like that, right? Please believe me!"

"We all know..." This time, Iron Brother’s tone became less certain, "We all know that you, Ah Yi, are not that kind of person..."

"...!"

Ah Yi could hear the uncertainty in Iron Brother’s voice. He... was starting to doubt him.

If things continued like this, he would undoubtedly be considered the wolf and be voted to death by everyone in the village!

The mere thought had barely crossed Ah Yi’s mind before an intense sense of fear had already clung to his spine, piercing through his heart.

"You... you bastard!" Ah Yi stared at Sheraya for a moment, then with his eyes wide with rage, immediately charged at Sheraya!

"Wait! What are you doing!?"

But just then, Iron Brother suddenly intervened, blocking Ah Yi.

"Iron Brother! Why are you stopping me!?" Ah Yi roared, "Those two are the wolves! Execute them! If we execute them, we’ll be safe!"

"Calm down first!" But Iron Brother didn’t release his grip, instead tightening his hold.

"..." Ah Yi froze, looking at Iron Brother in disbelief, "Iron Brother, are you saying you don’t believe me?"

"..." Iron Brother paused before saying, "No! It’s not that I don’t believe you, but you need to calm down first. We have to talk things through clearly!"

Iron Brother was wavering, so Ah Yi could only turn to the other people, hoping they would believe him, support him.

But when Ah Yi saw the expressions on the villagers’ faces, he couldn’t help but freeze.

"...Xi Yun?"

The looks from everyone... including Xi Yun, they were all incredibly unsettled.

It wasn’t about belief or disbelief, but doubt. The villagers were doubting him, someone they had lived with for so long?

"Why... why won’t you just believe me?"

Ah Yi’s momentum suddenly dissipated.

"It’s not that we don’t believe you, it’s just that we need more evidence to prove everything," Iron Brother urged, "Anyway, go back to your chair and sit down. Think over whatever you want to say before you speak."

"I... got it." Ah Yi returned to his seat, somewhat listlessly.

Iron Brother then looked towards Dick and asked, "What do you think?"

"..." Dick remained silent and didn’t answer.

Truth be told, Dick couldn’t tell who the real Prophet was either.

After all, the previous speech was merely Sheraya single-handedly toying with Ah Yi, hardly containing any substantial information, let alone forming a judgment based on that information.

Perhaps it was still more prudent to kill someone and see how things unfold, but if the real Prophet were to die as a result, the situation might indeed turn out as Sheraya had said.

After some thought, Dick realized... they still needed to find a breakthrough with Xiao Yi.

No matter how good Xiao Yi was at playing the fool, when singled out as the wolf and his life threatened, he couldn’t possibly continue to feign ignorance.

Dick wanted to judge whether Xiao Yi was the wolf by observing his reactions.

Just as Dick was about to once again involve Xiao Yi and formally include him in the next day’s Feast discussion, Xiao Yi unexpectedly stood up on his own!

Everyone was startled and turned their attention to Xiao Yi

"Wha...!" Dick was startled, having just thought about calling Xiao Yi, he didn’t expect him to actually stand up on his own!

Had he sensed what Dick was about to do? Or could it be that he possessed the ability to foresee the future!

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Yi turned to Sheraya and asked her a question.

"Sheraya, what number is bigger than one thousand?"

"Eh?" Sheraya couldn’t help but pause, then she answered, "Uh...one thousand and one!"

"I see, I understand now." Xiao Yi nodded slightly, then asked, "And what number is bigger than one thousand and one?"

"Wait a minute! You’re not planning on asking this forever, are you?" Dick quickly interrupted Xiao Yi, sighing helplessly, "Let’s set that aside for now, Xiao Yi. Something’s happened at the Feast, and we need you to explain."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, "Aren’t you guys looking for a traitor? What else do you want to ask me?"

"Don’t act as if it doesn’t concern you."

Then, Dick mimicked Sheraya’s manner and quickly briefed Xiao Yi.

Sheraya wasn’t in a hurry either, since the current situation was under control, and it wouldn’t be suspicious for Xiao Yi to speak.

Moreover, Sheraya believed that Xiao Yi would not be a problem.

"Hmm..." After listening to Dick, Xiao Yi seemed to grasp his current predicament, "Turns out I’m being suspected of being the traitor."

"It’s not suspicion," Dick corrected: "You’ve been directly accused of being the traitor!"

"Regardless, it’s quite novel to be called a traitor."

"...Huh?"

Dick couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Xiao Yi actually found it novel to be accused of being a traitor—did he really understand the gravity of his situation? The current circumstances were a matter of life and death!

Suddenly, Dick realized he had once again been drawn into Xiao Yi’s rhythm!

How horrifying... No, he must get serious and not always be twisted by Xiao Yi’s words; otherwise, wouldn’t the situation at the Feast simply shift from Sheraya playing with Ah Yi to Xiao Yi playing with him?

Better start the conversation quickly!

Dick cleared his throat and said to Xiao Yi, "Well then, if you’re not the traitor, prove it."

"Prove it? How?" Xiao Yi spread his hands, "I don’t even have an ID on me, how am I supposed to prove I’m not the traitor?"

"..."

"However, speaking of traitors, people usually suspect others of being the traitor, right?" Xiao Yi continued, "Using that as a means to divert attention and ensure their own safety."

"Oh? So you think that Ah Yi is the traitor, accusing you to save himself?" Dick asked.

At that, even Ah Yi, who had been hanging his head, slightly lifted it, his eyes filled with intense anger and a hint of murderous intent as he looked at Xiao Yi.

However, Xiao Yi shook his head again: "No, with a confirmed traitor inside the organization, it’s not surprising for anyone to be suspected. It’s inevitable that I’m under suspicion."

"..." Dick wanted to correct him that it wasn’t mere suspicion, but after thinking it through, decided to let it go.

"Umm... Let me think, what should one do in this kind of situation?"

Xiao Yi tried to recall the movies and TV shows he had seen about traitors. Then, he had an answer.

"That’s right! From my experience, in such situations, shouldn’t we just beat up both the person suspecting others of being the traitor and the one being suspected?"

"...Huh?"

Everyone present, including all the viewers in the live stream, were stunned.
