The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 124 - 124: I Am Truly a Genius~

This makes things easier, after all, mugging on the main road does attract attention...

A group surrounded Zhu Haomiao, walking into a dimly lit alleyway. Under the faint streetlights, a few people caught a glimpse of the boy's handsome features and excitedly whispered among themselves.

"Boss, what a handsome little fat lamb, can we enjoy first later?"

"You guys... out of all things, you like men...? Alright… but I get to go first!"

Catching the whispers behind him, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly but soon relaxed.

How could he be angry with a group of corpses?

Respect the dead!

Amitabha Buddha!

Silently chanting the Buddha's name in his heart, the figures quickly disappeared into the darkness of the alley.

Soon, accompanied by a few abruptly cut-off whimpers, sinister ripples seemed to arise in the shadows deep within the alley, as if something terrifyingly evil was squirming and chewing.

After more than ten minutes, an unburdened Zhu Haomiao emerged carrying several large sacks, humming a cheerful tune.

"Love you lonely walking through the dark alley~"

"Love your defiant stance against kneeling~"

"Love you standing against despair~"

"Refusing to cry~"

...

Walking with light and cheerful steps, Zhu Haomiao reached the Huangpu River, casually stuffed a few large cobblestones into the sacks, and tossed them into the depths of the river.

Plunk~

With the heavy splash, Zhu Haomiao clapped his hands and sighed regretfully.

"No cement or barrels, sigh... I'm still too unprofessional..."

"Forget it, I'll see if there are any other life hacks on the forum when I get back..."

Muttering to himself, Zhu Haomiao left the riverbank, grabbing coins out of thin air as he walked.

"1, 2, 3, 4... 13... 15!"

"Only 15 Gold Coins from so many people!"

"Did you even try to commit crimes properly?"

"Only this much [value]?!"

Shaking his head in disappointment, Zhu Haomiao lamented.

"Well, it's money picked up on the way home, can't demand more..."

Admiring the neon lights of the bustling night, Zhu Haomiao slowed down, enjoying the scenery and pondering today's conflict, gaining some insight.

No wonder the country strictly controls ordinary people from entering the Illusion Realm, their survival skills are really too poor.

Though they could be considered Transcendents compared to native locals, against professional [Ascension Contestants], it's like primitive men against planes and tanks—hardly a fight, more a massacre!

He's only at Silver Level, severely weakened by [Pupation]!

Killing them was as easy as slaughtering chickens!

Thinking this, Zhu Haomiao looked at the Illusionary Page of the [Book of Black].

[Gluttony]: LV.2→LV.4 (180/500)

[Body]+5

[Essence]+3

[Sloth]: LV.2→LV.4 (31/500)

[God]+4

[Qi]+4

Through a defensive act, the other Original Sins grew, but due to their high level didn't directly upgrade. Instead, lower base [Gluttony] and [Sloth] caught up to the average.

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but entertain a bold idea.

Massacres seem more efficient than hard cultivation!

No Contribution Points, no Cultivation Technique needed, no [Greed Coins], no bottlenecks to break...

Just let foreign commoners suffer, and strength naturally grows!

With so many [tourists] in Shanghai, as long as I clean up well, no one should notice killing a small amount...

After all, descenders don't truly die, letting them suffer a bit... I'll take the blame...

As Zhu Haomiao's breathing became rapid with excitement, a spirit light flashed in his mind, snapping him back to reality.

Splat~

He gently slapped himself, forcefully calming the bloodthirsty eyes into clarity.

Calm!

Suffering only harms oneself!

I promised Teacher Su E to be a good person!

And promised Senior Brother Feng not to kill recklessly!

Phew~

Releasing a long, slow breath, Zhu Haomiao suppressed the budding Original Sin in his heart, cooling his feverish mind.

Meanwhile, Zhu Haomiao better understood why the country restricted ordinary people from entering the Illusion Realm!

In many evil eyes, they really are delicious Blood Food!

Wait... did I just insult myself in there too...

I'm not an evil creature!

"Stay true to oneself, do as one pleases~"

"Stay true to oneself!"

Silently reciting the words on the front page of the [Book of Black], the spirit light in Zhu Haomiao's eyes grew transparent, gradually regaining calm.

My heart, my actions, pure as a mirror, all for justice!

Even killing, was forced justified self-defense!

Exactly!

I'm a partner of justice!

An enemy of evil!

Hater of evil—Zhu the Good!

How could I take the initiative to massacre descenders?

At most, in situations like today, when bullied to the face, tearfully retaliate, giving them a small punishment.

Thinking seriously and analyzing carefully, Zhu Haomiao soon sorted his thoughts, nodding in satisfaction and realizing his bottom line.

Don't initiate, don't reject, don't take responsibility!

Hiss~

I'm truly a genius~

Raising the corners of his mouth in pride, Zhu Haomiao resumed his steps, recalling something as he pulled a soft white strip from his bosom.

Wiggling it twice, Diao Chan flopped like boneless mud. A silly thought crossed his mind.

Oh no!

My big mink has wilted!

After a brief silly thought, Zhu Haomiao petted its little belly, hearing its even purring like a kitten, reassured.

He had checked many times today, but this guy seemed dead to the world, undisturbed even during the fierce fight!

After looking it over, confirming it just slept, Zhu Haomiao tucked it back in his bosom.

Alright then...

Keep sleeping, who can out-sleep you?!

Leaving the city, reaching a remote wilderness, Zhu Haomiao opened a hidden secret passage, entering a complex underground labyrinth.

The passage led straight to the "sleeping tomb underground palace", opening the intricate Seven-pointed Star bronze gate. As he prepared to end his fulfilling day and sleep well, a mysterious call emerged in his mind.

"My Lord, please bless me... grant me power..."

Raising his head to gaze into the void, sinister twisted black light rose in Zhu Haomiao's eyes.

Buzz~

In the depths of his consciousness ocean, the outline of a mysterious pyramid gradually emerged, atop which a closed [All-Knowing Eye] quietly opened.

At the same time, a sturdy faith thread linked to the [All-Knowing Eye], forming a solid channel.
