In the room, the remaining six people looked at Lin Yu with uncertainty as he suddenly entered.

This time, it was Chen Zhuo who spoke first.

The chubby boy looked excited as he addressed Lin Yu: "Are you the master of this game? In other words... are you a god?!"

Of course, Lin Yu couldn't outright declare himself a "god."

But with Chen Zhuo's question, things became much more convenient.

Facing Chen Zhuo's inquiry, Lin Yu didn't deny it, merely nodding slightly with that profound smile returning to his face.

"I prefer to be addressed as 'Administrator.'"

As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Zhuo nodded fervently in agreement.

"Understood, Administrator. Could you explain the game rules to us?"

This otaku had clearly watched plenty of anime, completely accepting Lin Yu's "setting" as a deity.

But the others weren't so easily convinced.

"Bang!"

Bao Liu slammed the table, coldly demanding: "Stop playing these mystical tricks! What exactly are you?!"

"Why have you brought us here? What's your purpose?!"

Lin Yu maintained his smile while looking at the blustering Bao Liu.

"Mr. Bao Liu, before you came here... didn't you see the clues that should have helped you understand the situation?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Bao Liu's expression changed slightly.

"You actually know my name?!"

"Of course, this is my game after all," Lin Yu's smile grew even more mysterious. "I not only know your name, but also that you've awakened a profession—'Ruffian.'"

"Everyone here is the same... so let me introduce you to each other."

"You've already met Mr. Bao Liu here, who awakened the 'Ruffian' profession."

"The one who just spoke is Chen Zhuo, who awakened as 'Otaku.'"

"This lovely lady is Xia Yue, the 'Veterinarian.'"

"This robust gentleman is Yu Longguo, the 'Soldier.'"

"The sharp-looking one next to him is Yao Zhengye, the 'Thief.'"

"And this bespectacled lady is Xu Xiumei, the 'Teacher.'"

Lin Yu spoke unhurriedly.

Each person's expression changed slightly when introduced.

Lin Yu's ability to accurately name them and their professions had already convinced half the group of his "divine" identity!

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Chen Zhuo spoke up excitedly again: "So, Administrator—could you explain the game rules now?"

"Certainly," Lin Yu nodded with a smile. "Though it shouldn't need repeating, because of the earlier 'interruption'... let me say again—you're all clearly aware that you're already 'dead,' correct?"

As Lin Yu spoke, even the previously excited Chen Zhuo looked uncomfortable.

But Lin Yu didn't care.

His current identity was "god"—and gods needn't concern themselves with mortal feelings.

So Lin Yu pressed further, offending everyone present.

"Each of you had an intense desire not to die... perhaps for your students or children, maybe for unfinished anime, or wanting to become a better person, or for an ill mother... or simply wanting to live."

After these words, Lin Yu could clearly sense...

Their belief in him had grown several degrees stronger!

"In any case, it's precisely because of your 'desires' that you've gained this opportunity to participate in the game—I hope you'll make the most of it."

"Enough talk—let me explain the game rules. Have any of you heard of or played 'Werewolf' before?"

"The basic gameplay is similar—you'll be divided into werewolves and humans. Next, I'll distribute envelopes containing your identities and specific rules."

Lin Yu pulled six envelopes from his pocket.

He then handed each envelope to its rightful owner.

As for Lin Yu's own envelope...

He had already tossed it outside and hidden it under the doormat.

Watching them open their envelopes and confirm their identities, as the "flames" rose again, Lin Yu snapped his fingers.

"Alright, you should understand the basic rules now. Any questions?"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, everyone appeared thoughtful.

Yu Longguo was the first to speak.

"Administrator, one thing confuses me... Before entering this game, I remember seeing the player count was '7.'"

"Why are there only '6' people here?"

Yu Longguo voiced his doubt.

He didn't suspect Lin Yu was that player, his confusion appearing genuine.

Lin Yu laughed.

"Quite sharp, 'Soldier.' I appreciate your keen observation—congratulations on discovering one of this game's special rules!"

"This game features a player who awakened a special profession called 'Lone Wolf,' so he won't wake up with you all."

"This person will be hiding somewhere within the castle grounds."

Xia Yue also asked: "Is this person on the 'Werewolf' or 'Human' side?"

"His faction isn't tied to his profession, and he won't participate in the 'voting phase.'"

Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Huh? If he's 'Human,' doesn't that mean the good side loses a vote for free?"

Chen Zhuo exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yu chuckled: "Hehe... don't worry, this game isn't as simple as you think."

Yu Longguo pondered before speaking again.

"Administrator, besides not appearing with us, what other abilities does the 'Lone Wolf' have?"

Lin Yu wagged his finger: "I'll only tell you his profession name... whether he reveals his abilities is his own choice."

"Similarly, whether you reveal your own profession abilities is also your decision."

After some thought, Yu Longguo said: "In that case, I choose to reveal mine!"

"Certainly, the 'Soldier's' ability is... a fivefold enhancement in physical capabilities."

Lin Yu stated calmly.

Bao Liu grumbled discontentedly: "Why go through the trouble... if you want to reveal your ability, can't you just say it?"

"I believe the 'Soldier' wants to prove he's not lying," Lin Yu smiled. "After all, as the 'Administrator,' I not only know your professions, abilities, names and other personal information... I'm also fully aware of every trap and mechanism in this game."

"However, my 'Administrator privileges' are limited to understanding the game's structure—to ensure fairness, I won't directly interfere with the game's progress."

"I don't even know what each of your 'faction identities' are!"

Lin Yu finished speaking with a smile.

And then...

He could feel his 'Fraudster' ability finally taking effect!

The 'Administrator' identity... had now become real!
