To prevent Itto from getting too excited and exposing his identity, Xavier immediately coughed to remind him.
"Everyone, pay attention! Don't expose your identities!"
Reminded, Itto sat back down, staring at his identity card, clenching his teeth.
"Damn it, how could This Daddy, be an Idiot? This Daddy, should have gotten a Werewolf card!"
Itto's biggest fear came true; the card he least wanted was the Idiot, simply because the name sounded terrible.
But fate played a trick on him, and in the end, he still got an Idiot card.
As for Makoto, who was next to Itto, she received a Witch card.
Upon seeing her identity as a Witch, Makoto's little scheme was already stirring.
"Oh my, oh my~ I can save people and poison people. Let me see who dies tonight. Should I save them or not~"
Makoto truly lived up to her reputation as a mischievous woman; with the Witch card in her hands, many people were likely to be played for fools.
Cyno's expression remained largely unchanged, but when he saw his identity was a Werewolf, he was secretly delighted.
He loved the feeling of hunting, and coupled with his two ears that already resembled a wolf's, it was simply perfect!
The last Werewolf card fell into Lyney's hands.
Lyney didn't seem too keen on being a Werewolf, but he could grudgingly accept it.
"Sigh, as a magician, I should have gotten an identity like the Seer, right..."
It was a bit of a shame, but this game relied more on a clever mind, so what identity card one received wasn't that important.
As for the last divine role, the Hunter, it was taken by Xiao.
It must be said that this identity was quite fitting for Xiao.
Moreover, he didn't talk much, so having this identity provided him with a certain level of security.
"Huh? How am I a Civilian?!"
When Furina saw that her identity was just an ordinary Civilian, unable to kill or be the center of attention, she immediately became unhappy.
Whether she became a Werewolf or a divine role, she could accept it.
But she absolutely could not accept being just an ordinary Civilian.
She'd close her eyes and open them, and it would be the next day, completely unaware of what happened at night.
This feeling made Furina extremely displeased.
"Alright, I presume everyone has seen their identity cards clearly, right?"
Xavier saw that everyone had looked over their cards, so the game officially began.
However, under Xavier's rules, this Werewolf game differed from the usual way of playing.
"From now on, each of you will return to your own rooms."
"Then I will knock on the Werewolves' doors. At that time, you will gather in this conference room and decide who to kill on the first night."
"The subsequent stages will be the same; I will go and knock on your doors."
That's right, the so-called first night was truly just one night.
Furina was indeed not smart enough; upon hearing such rules, she immediately complained:
"So that means if you get a Civilian card, you can only sleep until dawn and then come back the next afternoon, right?!"
She found it incredibly boring; the game had no meaning at all.
Who knew Xavier would chuckle mischievously and threaten her, "Theoretically speaking, that's correct, but who among you can guarantee that you won't be visited by Werewolves at night and secretly killed?"
"To prevent loopholes, Werewolves will patrol everyone's rooms at night, and I will also block your senses at that time."
This scared Furina, and Xiangling, also a Civilian, immediately shrank towards Hu Tao.
"Oh my, this is too scary..."
Hu Tao giggled and said, "Don't worry, Xiangling, I'm also a good person! I'll protect you!"
Xiangling didn't think twice, nodding repeatedly, not expecting Hu Tao to be quite nice sometimes.
Seeing this, Xavier couldn't help but roll his eyes. Hu Tao was truly good at deceiving people.
So he kindly reminded them, "From now on, none of you know each other's identities, so when you communicate privately, absolutely do not be deceived by certain people."
Hearing Xavier say this, Xiangling pushed Hu Tao away, the more she looked at Hu Tao, the more she felt he resembled a Werewolf!
Hu Tao bared her fangs and claws at Xavier; she had just barely managed to gain Xiangling's trust.
Everything that needed to be said had been said, and everyone then returned to their respective rooms.
Everyone had a private room, except for Xiangling.
Seeing Xiangling lying on the bed, eyes wide open, Shenhe felt very strange.
"Xiangling, didn't you go to play a game? How did you come back so quickly, and looking so scared?"
Xiangling immediately explained the rules of the Werewolf game.
Shenhe thought for a moment and said, "Go to sleep without worry. If the Werewolves really try to attack you tonight, I will protect you."
This sentence made Xiangling feel both touched and amused at the same time.
"Oh, this is just a game. If you really make a move, then we'll be breaking the rules."
"Alright, then I'll make sure they go easy when they make their move, trying not to let you feel pain..."
Xiangling didn't know what to say; she felt that Shenhe didn't seem to understand that this game was just a game.
Except for Bennett, who was quite carefree, everyone else couldn't fall asleep at all.
They were all worried that they would be the first person killed tonight. What would they do then?
And Fischl in her room had already begun to put on an act; she had to catch a Werewolf today and vote him out tomorrow!
On the other side, the Werewolves who returned to their rooms had no intention of sleeping; they were waiting for Lin Yuan to visit.
Sure enough, not long after, Xavier brought Klee to knock on their doors.
Hu Tao, Cyno, Eula, and Lyney, the four Werewolves, were called into the conference room by Xavier.
Moreover, Xavier took out the layout map of the ancient castle, which marked everyone's room locations.
"What, the Vanquisher of Evil actually lives on the top floor? No way, no way!"
When Hu Tao saw that Xiao was living on the top floor, she immediately chose to pass.
Such a high floor, climbing the stairs would exhaust them to death!
Xiao probably never imagined that he wasn't a target on the first night simply because he lived too high up...
Indeed, this real-life Werewolf game was more complicated and had more variables than playing face-to-face.
"I suggest we kill Arataki Itto," Lyney proposed his idea.
Eula also agreed, "I also suggest it, because Arataki Itto's reaction was very agitated, which means he is very likely the Seer, or at least a divine role."
For others, they might think Itto's agitation could mean he's a Werewolf or a god.
But since they knew each other were Werewolves, they naturally concluded that Itto could only be a god.
"No, we can't just infer from this angle."
Cyno had played many rounds of Werewolf on his phone at Xavier's house, so he understood the game very well.
Similarly, he also knew that identity was never the most important decisive factor.
Everyone turned their gaze to Cyno, wanting to hear his opinion.
This was an expert leading them to victory!
Cyno slowly said, "Since he exposed his identity, we can completely save him for last. We should take some effective measures first."
"I think we can self-harm to trick the Witch into using her potion. What do you all think?"
