Although still significantly weakened, self-protection shouldn''t be much of a problem on a daily basis.

    Besides, who''s going to deliberately target someone as harmless and kind-hearted as me?

    Clearing his mind, Zhu Haomiao left the safe house satisfied, urged by his ravenous hunger towards the Xinghua House in the city.

    Rushing all the way in a seemingly leisurely manner, the young man suddenly remembered something, checked the deposits in his pocket, and counted just over 80 greed coins, a trace of anxiety welling up in his heart.

    This amount of money is not enough to Krypton Gold all the cultivation techniques to Great Perfection...

    I need to come up with a way to conduct a sacrifice ritual, and gather some reserve funds...

    Wilson''s "believers" over there are increasing in number; with each responsible for one or two sacrifices, gathering materials for a sacrifice is quite easy.

    The only risk is someone seems to have grown suspicious of him, he needs to act more discreetly.

    Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao''s pupils slightly contracted, and his steps suddenly halted.

    Wait a minute!

    That person seems to be investigating cultists!

    But why did they end up tracing it back to Wilson?!

    Is Wilson a cultist?!

    The target of his sacrifices...

    What?!!

    The Evil God is actually me?!!

    Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Zhu Haomiao took a sharp breath, clenched his fists in grief and indignation, trembling all over, breaking out in cold sweat in the heat of the day!

    Can this society get any better? A bright and cheerful young man like me, being falsely accused as an Evil God??!

    Is there any justice in this?

    Is there any law in this?

    Even though my methods are a tiny bit cruel, my intentions are good!

    Removing those scoundrels only makes the world a better place!

    And I can earn some gold coins on the side!

    A win-win!

    No, a multi-win!

    Why don''t you understand?

    A sense of misunderstood grief welling up in his heart, Zhu Haomiao clenched his fists and let out a long sigh.

    This world is filled with misunderstandings and oppression of "Evil Gods". When will we "Evil Gods" truly stand up?!

    Chaotic emotions stirring in his mind, it was a while before the young man composed himself and resumed walking.

    ............

    Arriving at Xinghua House, as Zhu Haomiao stepped through the door, he suddenly paused, realizing something, and slowly backed out.

    Retreating to a standstill, Zhu Haomiao observed the waiter''s scanning gaze at the entrance, which swept over him several times without any response, as if... he was merely an inconspicuous object!

    Remembering the waiter''s previously obsequious attitude, Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes and deliberately walked in and out of the door several times in front of him.

    Yet the waiter''s attention remained focused elsewhere, never once lingering on him!

    Pondering this for a few seconds, the young man slapped the waiter on the shoulder.

    "Huh?"

    The waiter jumped in fright, glaring at Zhu Haomiao with a mix of anger and shock.

    But upon seeing the young man''s face, the waiter''s irritated look quickly turned to confusion; the familiar visage seemed very recognizable, yet he couldn''t recall at the moment.

    After scrutinizing him for a full three seconds, his pupils widened bit by bit.

    "Mr. Zhu!"

    "Oh dear, look at me being so blind! I deserve a beating!"

    Watching the waiter slap his own face, apologizing earnestly, Zhu Haomiao gently stopped him and casually probed.

    "Did you not sleep well yesterday? It seemed like you were a bit distracted earlier; I went in and out several times and you didn''t notice."

    Upon hearing this, the waiter grew more bewildered: "You went in just now?"

    Impossible, I was watching closely... wait, it seemed like something was flickering...

    "Yes."

    Zhu Haomiao smiled meaningfully without further explaining, stepping into the door first.

    Behind him, the waiter hesitated, unable to figure it out, quickly pulling himself together and following closely.

    "Mr. Zhu, this way upstairs please!"

    Upon reaching the private room, Zhu Haomiao sat down and skillfully ordered from the waiter.

    "Please ask the chef to prepare a banquet for two hundred people, at the highest standard, please."

    The waiter froze in place upon hearing this.

    "Two hundred portions?? Just for you?"

    "Yes, just start with that, I''ll order more if needed."

    More?

    Order again?

    Knowing you have a big appetite, isn''t your capacity a bit Non-human?

    Listening to the young man''s words, the waiter''s eyes grew blank, words welled up yet couldn''t come out, eventually settling on a dry laugh, bowing and nodding.

    "Understood, please wait a moment, I''ll immediately arrange it with the kitchen."

    "Please ask the chef to hurry, I''m quite hungry."

    "Right away!"

    Watching the waiter dash out of the private room, Zhu Haomiao peered at the direction he left, narrowing his eyes in contemplation.

    According to his reaction at the entrance just now...

    After a second Pupation, with the concepts of Pupa Shell layered, my presence was further diminished, reaching a transcendent Anomaly level!

    Just like Lust''s supernatural charm, it has evolved into a certain type of Supernatural Phenomenon!

    Strangely, the young man recalled an ability from a certain novel he had read.

    Psychology Invisibility!

    Just like how one can see one''s nose tip but the brain subconsciously ignores and filters it out.

    My current state feels similar, hidden in a psychological blind spot, seen by everyone yet subconsciously ignored and blocked!

    No wonder...

    Previously, due to Lust''s transcendent charm, I was constantly the center of attention on the streets, especially from those fascinated ladies, whose burning gazes seemed ready to devour me!

    But this time, I haven''t caught anyone''s attention, not even a momentary gaze from passing pedestrians.

    It''s as if... I were merely a lamp post or stone pillar...

    However, this is only effective on mortals; with transcendent God attributes, they wouldn''t completely fail to notice me.

    At least it weakens their effective detection range! Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Originally detectable from a hundred meters, now maybe only ten meters is needed for exposure.

    This ability should be quite useful for assassination...

    Gleaning some understanding as he stroked his chin, as Zhu Haomiao pondered, the first dish was brought to the table.

    Setting a bowl of rice on a small table to the side, the waiter fawningly said.

    "Mr. Zhu, the kitchen was worried you''d be starving; we''ve brought a few dishes in advance to whet your appetite, more are on the way."

    "Thank you, much appreciated."

    "It''s our duty, absolutely our duty."

    Picking up a piece of glowing dish and placing it into his mouth, Zhu Haomiao suppressed the hunger roaring within him, calmly and slowly chewing.
