Chapter 75: Chapter 73 Feast, Madness

"Wait a minute! Whatever the case, we don’t have to execute you, do we?" Sheraya couldn’t help but be startled and hurriedly pleaded.

"No, it’s very necessary," the chef said. "I am no longer of any use to the Feast. What use is a chef who only goes mad, disrupts the Feast, and is suspected of poisoning? Isn’t our practice always to eliminate those who serve no purpose? Right?"

Saying so, the chef looked toward Dick.

Dick’s face was also looking rather ghastly. He said, "No, I was planning to eliminate the useless ones first, not keep eliminating indefinitely. At this point, we need more people to fight the werewolves."

"Dad!" Xi Yun also hurriedly said, "It’s not your fault that Iron Brother died! No matter what, you don’t have to die!"

"It’s okay, Xi Yun," the chef said with a smile. "I now hope you can get outside, and to achieve this, we must end the Feast as soon as possible. This is... the best solution I could come up with, given my lifetime of limited experience. Those who are still alive are young people, definitely more useful than this old man. So, I’ll be leaving first."

"But..."

Xi Yun wanted to say something else, but the chef had already spoken before her, "Xi Yun, I don’t know what kind of education you received on the outside, but I only know that there’s an ancient rule in the village—a life for a life. Ah Tie has died, no matter what, I am responsible for giving the werewolf an opportunity to poison us."

Xi Yun saw determination in her father’s eyes; she knew she could no longer persuade her father. No one could, because that’s how he was.

"Wait!"

Dick was also becoming frantic; the chef clearly wasn’t the werewolf, and he still had a role to play, at least Dick didn’t want him to die at this moment!

"Are you serious? Your death would actually give the werewolves an advantage! Do you want to do us all in?"

"Then you tell me? Aside from myself, who else could you execute at this moment?" the chef asked.

"..." Dick began to ponder this question.

He remembered that the Feast didn’t have to be held in the ceremony hall, so he might as well start the Feast ritual right here!

Dick immediately looked at Xi Yun and asked, "Who did you guard last night?"

Xi Yun also hurriedly answered, "It was Sheraya!"

Guards couldn’t consecutively protect the same person, so Xi Yun chose Sheraya.

Dick frowned. Didn’t she guard me? But never mind, if Sheraya really was the Prophet, then it was indeed very likely that the werewolf would attack him.

Last night, the werewolf still didn’t kill anyone; it seemed Xi Yun had once again guarded the right person.

Dick then looked toward Sheraya and asked, "How were your findings last night?"

Sheraya simply nodded, and Dick didn’t think too much of it. He naturally assumed Sheraya meant that Xi Yun was confirmed as the guard.

However, there were still no clues about the werewolf. Dick shouted to the crowd:

"Tomb Guardian? Who is the Tomb Guardian? It’s time to come forward!"

But not a single person came forward to identify themselves as the Tomb Guardian.

Dick couldn’t help but be taken aback. Was the Tomb Guardian waiting for the right moment, or... had the Tomb Guardian already died?

Perhaps... the Tomb Guardian was the one Dick had killed with his own hands!

Looking at Dick’s stunned expression, the chef said again, "See? There’s no one else to suspect, is there? Hurry up and vote to execute me!"

"!" Dick could no longer hold back. He roared at the chef, "Have you gone mad!? Actually choosing to die yourself! Calm down! What we need to do now is to figure out who poisoned us and who the werewolf really is!? Your strength is necessary!"

However, the chef remained unmoved, "I am very calm. Reducing the number of people to more quickly verify everyone’s identity is the correct approach, isn’t it? Besides, you were the one who proposed it, right?"

"This... No! What you are doing is dragging us into even more danger!"

"Then you tell me what should be done?" the chef said coldly. "If there’s no better way, hurry up and cast your vote for me!"

"..."

Dick knew the chef had gone completely mad, seeking death with all his heart! But Dick also had no way to persuade him; it was utterly futile!

"Madman! You lunatic!"

Dick began to rage, cursing the chef in his mind. This guy had no understanding of what the Feast truly was! To think he could just die if he wanted to! Did he think his life belonged only to him?

Dick couldn’t help but think, if only the wolves would kill someone, that would be great! Someone had to be killed by the wolves! Only then could these people really feel the threat of the wolves, the fear of death, the hatred towards the wolves! And the importance of the Feast!

But soon, Dick was stunned by his own thoughts. How could he have such a mad idea?

Then, Dick seemed to realize something and involuntarily blurted out:

"The Feast... madness?"

But Dick felt that he was overthinking it and didn’t dwell on the thought.

"...Madness?" However, his muttering was overheard by Sheraya, who couldn’t help but lower her head in contemplation.

At this moment, Xiao Yi stepped forward and asked, "Are you planning to abandon Xi Yun?"

"Bringing up Xi Yun is useless, this is my choice." The chef looked at Xiao Yi and suddenly asked, "Can you... end this Feast completely?"

"...End the Feast completely?" Xiao Yi nodded, "I understand. I will do it."

"Then I am reassured." With that, the chef turned to Yun Sha, "Xi Yun... our daughter, you will take good care of her, won’t you?"

Yun Sha wiped away her tears and replied, "Yes, of course, I will."

"Well, then, I have nothing more to say. Let’s start the voting."

No one could persuade the chef because that was just the kind of person he was.

And so, the voting on the third day ended in an incredibly rushed manner.

The chef received two votes, one from himself and another from Yun Sha, who made her decision while the chef was shouting at her.

Xi Yun couldn’t bring herself to cast that vote, no matter what; she could only cry. And the rest of the people also gave up on voting.

The chef said he didn’t need all those strange ceremonies, so he was executed immediately.

Just like the scene from the day before, everyone once again saw the pale-green light particle gel, and they couldn’t help but feel some fear.

As for Xiao Yi, it was his first time seeing the substance, and he thought it looked a bit like the instant body he had seen previously at the Professor’s home.

The third day’s Feast had ended. After Iron Brother and the chef were buried, the atmosphere among everyone was incredibly heavy.

At this time, Xi Yun suddenly approached Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, can you come with me for a bit?"

Her eyes and the tip of her nose were red, but her expression was very determined.

"I understand. Let’s go," Xiao Yi replied as he stood up.

"Wait!" Dick called out hurriedly, "Where are you going? Didn’t we say not to act on our own? It’s possible to be attacked by the wolves..."

"I trust him."

Xi Yun interrupted Dick and left with Xiao Yi.

Following Xi Yun, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Where do you want me to accompany you? To the bathroom?"

"Do I look like I need someone with me to dare to go to the bathroom?" Xi Yun looked at Xiao Yi with a serious expression and said, "Xiao Yi, let’s go search for the Ancestor Temple together. Perhaps there’s a secret to ending the Feast there."
