Now, I'm Going to Start Performing

As Lin Yu analyzed the situation, the others on the field continued talking.

After hearing Xu Xiumei's introduction, Bao Liu immediately asked, "What information did you obtain? Is it additional information about this game? Tell us about it."

Xu Xiumei hesitated.

The "soldier" Yu Longguo beside them reached out to stop Bao Liu. "Don't rush her. She has no reason to tell us what she learned. After all, no one here knows who the werewolf is. If she recklessly reveals such important information, it could easily put us humans at a disadvantage."

"Street thug" Bao Liu said, somewhat unconvinced, "What if she's a wolf herself?"

At that moment, the other woman, who looked gentle and delicate, glanced at Bao Liu again and spoke softly, as she had before. "You're so eager to get information from Xu Xiumei. I'm starting to suspect that you're the wolf."

Those words changed Lin Yu's perception of the delicate woman.

Although she looked soft and fragile... she certainly knew how to hide a needle in cotton.

From the beginning of the game, Bao Liu had probably been targeting her to establish his authority or something similar, showing off his fierceness.

But no one had expected her to strike back during the self-introduction round!

Bao Liu's eyes widened in fury. He slammed the table and pointed at the woman as he shouted, "Don't slander me, you fucking bitch! Are you accusing me of being a wolf?"

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Yu Longguo stood up and said sternly, "Stop arguing. There's no point debating this now. Let's wait until everyone has introduced themselves before discussing it."

The pressure brought by his tall stature and the "soldier's" powerful ability made Bao Liu dare not act rashly. He crossed his arms and snorted, leaning back slightly against the chair.

He pointed at the bespectacled little fatty. "Your turn."

The fat man cleared his throat and began:

"My name is Chen Zhuo, and my profession is 'otaku.' My ability... is confidential."

"Confidential?" Several people looked stunned.

Bao Liu said viciously, "We all introduced ourselves, and now that it's your turn, you're keeping it confidential? Are you trying to be special?"

Chen Zhuo shrank his head slightly in fright, but still put on an air of mystery. Shaking his head, he said quietly:

"Th-that's right. My ability is extremely special, to the point that I can't describe it to you with words here. You'll understand once you've seen it."

Although Chen Zhuo chose to conceal his ability, his profession, "otaku," still made the others think for a moment.

What kind of ability could an otaku have? Otaku usually liked staying at home to watch anime and read novels. What kind of ability could such a profession provide...

Chen Zhuo's words left everyone utterly confused about "otaku."

But seeing him act like this, no one could be bothered to investigate what ability Chen Zhuo actually had.

After all, everyone had a vague judgment in mind—even if Chen Zhuo really belonged to the opposing faction, this little fatty probably posed no real threat!

Although he had kept giving everyone useful information at the beginning, it was precisely because Chen Zhuo had blurted out everything he knew that people felt he lacked both scheming and menace.

If he were a werewolf, he probably would have exposed himself already!

Even Lin Yu felt that this kid was rather naive.

If he was putting on an act, then becoming a Film Emperor in the future would probably be no trouble for him!

Next came the short, thin man.

He hesitated, then said, "My name is Yao Zhengye, and my profession is 'thief.' My ability... I don't want to say."

This time, the others frowned slightly.

Bao Liu clicked his tongue. "Damn, another one who doesn't want to say. Are you mysterious too?"

As he spoke, he glared viciously at Chen Zhuo again. "Look at the example you set!"

Chen Zhuo hunched his neck and still didn't dare say anything.

Yu Longguo remained silent, looking thoughtful.

Although Yao Zhengye had also concealed his ability, the ability of a "thief"... was obvious. It probably had something to do with stealing.

Since that was the case, there was no harm in him refusing to explain. Among those present, everyone had more or less guessed what his "thief" ability involved.

Then it was the gentle-looking woman's turn. She said:

"My name is Xia Yue, and my profession is 'veterinarian.' My ability is... treating small animals."

"Tch, what use is treating small animals? Are there even any animals in this Ancient castle?" Bao Liu said disdainfully.

Because Xia Yue had gotten the better of him earlier, Bao Liu found her particularly irritating now.

"Who knows? Maybe the owner of this Ancient castle likes raising pets here." Chen Zhuo chimed in.

"Even if there are animals in the Ancient castle, what good would it do for this woman to treat them?" Bao Liu turned to stare at Xia Yue. "Are you expecting animals to help you find the outsiders?"

This time, Xia Yue merely turned her head slightly and ignored him.

After she finished introducing herself, Lin Yu was the only one left.

Everyone's gazes turned toward him as well.

"You're the only one left, young man," Yu Longguo said. "What's your profession?"

"Yeah, it's my turn."

Lin Yu placed his hands on the table and gently crossed them.

It's my turn...

Lin Yu had finished listening to everyone's professions and introductions.

His profession was "Fraudster."

There was no doubt that if he revealed his profession and ability, they would become completely useless.

So...

Just as the name of this profession suggested, it was a profession that required "deception."

Lin Yu reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose. Then he looked at everyone again, his gaze turning sharp and calm. "Before I introduce my profession, I think everyone has noticed this to some extent... The professions you drew are more or less related to your identities or occupations in real life, aren't they?"

"This big brother Yu has the bearing of a soldier, while Chen Zhuo looks completely like an otaku. Xia Yue... you're even wearing a white coat."

"Madam Xu Xiumei, you should also be a teacher or something similar in real life, right?"

Xu Xiumei nodded slightly. "That's right... I'm a middle school teacher."

She spoke in a low voice.

Lin Yu snapped his fingers. "Exactly. It seems my deduction was completely correct."

Was Deception the same as lying?

Lin Yu felt that... it included lying, but was not limited to it.

At least everything he had said above was the "truth" he had analyzed just now.

But after finishing his analysis, Lin Yu had also been considering another matter...

If this pattern was indeed correct, then what connection did the profession "Fraudster" have with him, a university student?

He had never committed telecommunications fraud, and he was not even good at lying!

But Lin Yu soon recalled something a professor had once said during class.

"The essence of acting is actually 'deception.' You have to deceive yourself and deceive the audience, making everyone believe that you truly are the 'role' you're playing!"

Lin Yu was indeed not good at lying, but...

He was very good at acting.

That was a more advanced and more useful form of "deception" than lying!

Now, he was going to start performing.
