Now, I'm Going to Perform

As Lin Yu analyzed, the others on stage continued their discussions.

Bao Liu heard Xu Xiumei's introduction and immediately asked, "What information did you get? Is it extra information for this game? Tell us."

Xu Xiumei hesitated.

Beside her, Yu Longguo, the "Soldier," stopped Bao Liu, saying, "Don't rush. She doesn't have to tell us the information she got. After all, no one knows who the werewolf is right now. If she rashly reveals such important information, it could be detrimental to us humans."

"Thug" Bao Liu said somewhat unconvinced, "What if she's the wolf herself?"

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

These words made Lin Yu revise his perception of the gentle woman.

Although she looked soft and weak... she had a bit of a hidden edge.

From the start of the game, Bao Liu, perhaps for the sake of "establishing dominance," had been targeting her to show off his ferocity.

But no one expected her to retaliate during this self-introduction phase!

Hearing this, Bao Liu's eyes widened in anger. He slammed the table and pointed at the woman, shouting, "Don't you dare slander me! You're accusing me, aren't you?"

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Yu Longguo stood up and said sternly, "Stop arguing. It's meaningless to debate this now. Let's discuss after everyone has finished introducing themselves."

His tall stature and the pressure from the "Soldier's" powerful abilities made Bao Liu dare not act rashly. He could only cross his arms, snort coldly, lean back slightly in his chair, and say, pointing at the fat boy with glasses, "It's your turn."

The fat boy cleared his throat and began, "My name is Chen Zhuo. My profession is 'Otaku.' My ability... is classified."

"Classified?" Several people were taken aback.

Bao Liu said fiercely, "We all revealed ours, but yours is classified? Are you trying to be special!"

Chen Zhuo flinched slightly, but maintained a mysterious demeanor, shaking his head and whispering, "N-no, my ability is very special, so much so that I can't describe it to you in words here. You'll understand when you see it."

Although Chen Zhuo chose to conceal his ability, his profession as an "Otaku" still made the others ponder.

What kind of ability could an otaku have? Otaku usually like to stay home watching anime and reading novels. What kind of ability would such a profession grant...

Chen Zhuo's words left everyone confused about the "Otaku" profession.

But seeing his demeanor, no one bothered to delve deeper into what abilities Chen Zhuo might have.

After all, everyone had a vague judgment in their hearts – even if Chen Zhuo was on the opposing faction, this little fatty probably wouldn't pose much of a threat!

Although he had been providing useful information from the beginning, it was precisely because Chen Zhuo had spilled everything he knew without reservation earlier that made him seem less cunning and threatening.

If he were a werewolf, he would have likely revealed himself by now!

Even Lin Yu felt that this kid was a bit too naive.

If the other party was acting, he could probably become an award-winning actor in the future!

Next, it was the turn of the short, thin man.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "My name is Yao Zhengye. My profession is 'Thief.' My ability... I don't want to say."

This time, the others frowned slightly.

Bao Liu smacked his lips, "Damn, you don't want to say either? Are you mysterious too?"

He then shot Chen Zhuo a fierce look, "See the precedent you set!"

Chen Zhuo shrunk his neck, still not daring to speak.

Yu Longguo remained silent, deep in thought.

Although Yao Zhengye had also concealed his ability, the ability of a "Thief"... was obvious. It was likely related to stealing.

In that case, it was fine not to say it. Among those present, they had more or less guessed what his "Thief" ability entailed.

Then it was the gentle-looking woman's turn. She spoke, "My name is Xia Yue. My profession is 'Veterinarian.' My ability is... healing small animals."

"Tch, what good is healing small animals! Are there even any animals in this ancient castle?" Bao Liu said dismissively.

Having been put in his place by Xia Yue earlier, Bao Liu was particularly annoyed with her now.

"Who knows, maybe the owner of this ancient castle likes to keep pets here," Chen Zhuo chimed in.

"Even if there are animals in the ancient castle, what good will it do if this woman heals them?" Bao Liu turned to stare at Xia Yue and said, "Do you expect animals to help you find the outsiders?"

Xia Yue slightly turned her head this time, ignoring him.

After her introduction, only Lin Yu remained.

Everyone's gaze turned to him.

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

"Yeah, it's my turn."

Lin Yu's hands rested on the table, lightly clasped.

It's my turn now...

Lin Yu had already listened to everyone's profession and introduction.

His profession was "Deceiver."

Without a doubt, if his profession and abilities were revealed, they would be completely useless.

So...

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

Lin Yu reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose, then looked at everyone again, his gaze sharp and calm. "Before I introduce my profession, I think everyone has more or less discovered something... The professions you've drawn are more or less related to your real-life identities and jobs, right?"

"Brother Yu here has the demeanor of a soldier, and Chen Zhuo, you look exactly like an otaku. Xia Yue... you're even wearing a white coat."

"Ms. Xu Xiumei, in reality, you should also be a teacher or something similar, right?"

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

She said in a low voice.

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

Is deception lying?

Lin Yu felt... including, but not limited to it.

At the very least, what he had said earlier was based on the "truth" he had just analyzed.

But after finishing his analysis, Lin Yu was also thinking about something...

If this pattern was indeed correct, then what did the profession "Deceiver" have to do with him, a college student?

He hadn't engaged in telecommunications fraud, and he wasn't even good at lying!

But Lin Yu quickly thought of something his professor had said in class.

"The essence of acting is actually 'deception.' You have to deceive yourself, deceive the audience, make everyone believe it's real, and you become 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 useful form of "deception" than "lying"!

Now, he was going to start his performance.
