After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 68 – Where did the lobster go?
"I'm in position."
Wang Hongfei, wearing armor, crouched in the shadows, monitoring the situation inside a huge and luxurious venue in front of him.
"Then I'll go in."
She Miao took a deep breath, trying hard to appear normal. He followed the elegant gentlemen who got off the luxury cars and walked on the red carpet into the venue, showing the invitation to the waiter at the entrance.
As the waiter took the invitation, his heart beat slightly faster. He was even prepared to activate his super speed ability and attack at any moment. But fortunately, the waiter seemed to have noticed nothing and just smiled as he accepted the invitation to welcome She Miao's arrival.
So She Miao stepped over the stairs and entered the venue, entering this slightly upscale carnival.
The dazzling lights illuminated the banquet hall. Men in suits and women in exquisite dresses walked in pairs, slowly circling the dance floor. The rich fragrance filled the air, and the tempting aroma spread throughout the banquet hall along with the music. Various delicacies from around the world filled the tables, tempting and irresistible.
Looking at these elegant gentlemen and beautiful women, ordinary people would never think that the organizer of this venue was a parasite in the dark.
The Kindred branch of the Prayer Meeting was stationed near the Changhe district. This venue was one of their organized industries.
Of course, Transcendents were not commonly seen here. Most of the attendees were ordinary humans who were believers. The majority of the Transcendent Kindred were high-ranking members of the branch.

After bumping into that unlucky Kindred yesterday, Wang Hongfei used some hardcore means to steal the guy's account. Now, disguised as this already deceased Kindred, he infiltrated the organization through a chat app. During the day, he used group chats and private messages to gather information about tonight's gathering.
That's why She Miao came here to gather intelligence.
"I've scanned the building structure. Their operational center should be hidden on the third floor of the venue. Their high-ranking members should be there."
As She Miao entered the hall, Wang Hongfei's voice sounded in his ear through the built-in screen.
"How do I get in?" She Miao asked in a low voice.
"For now, you can't enter. There's only one direct elevator that can go in, but it has restricted access and is locked," Wang Hongfei said. "But it seems like my armor has scanned a security network module from the outside of the building. It should directly connect to that elevator. Wait a moment, I'll go and hack that module. Then you should be able to go up using the direct elevator."
"What should I do now?"
"Um...eat, drink, and chat with people."
This mission clearly hit She Miao's preferences. Honestly, he had been drooling since he entered the door.
Authentic West Zou Fidela handmade noodles and cheese, emitting a rich milky fragrance and delicious taste, as if trying to awaken people's beautiful memories of Fidela's sunny beach. Beef steak and lamb chops filled the plates, tender and soft, accompanied by rich sauce, emitting a deep meaty aroma. The seafood salad presented a colorful display, composed of various fresh seafood, with a crispy and refreshing ocean flavor.
Bright orange lobsters, tender scallops braised in abalone sauce, flavorful fish belly soup, tempting lychee meat, and cooked quail eggs. In the center of the table, there were creatively shaped fancy desserts, colorful and exquisite like precious pearls, exuding a charming exotic flavor.
She Miao couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't expect that as a vampire, his taste for food was quite good. He waved his knife and fork and headed straight for the table, like a general preparing for battle.
Occasionally, passing guests were surprised by his eating habits, thinking that he must be starving. A passing waiter held a tray with tall glasses, seemingly wanting to offer him a drink. But perhaps seeing this guest holding a lobster in one hand and a steak in the other, with his mouth stuffed with food, the waiter estimated that this guest was too busy to handle it, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait," She Miao called out to him, miraculously freeing up one hand. With a mouth full of food, he said, "Don't go, give me a glass..."
The waiter seemed to have never seen such a hungry ghost in this venue. He nodded awkwardly and handed him a glass of champagne.
She Miao tilted his head back and quickly finished the entire glass of champagne.
Although his alcohol allergy had been cured by the Transcendents, he didn't actually like drinking alcohol.
Mainly because it was expensive.
Since he was already here, he had to at least get his money's worth.
Besides, he was also preparing for the possible battle later. The new skill, super speed, was useful but consumed a lot of energy. To ensure that he had enough fuel to burn when the time came, it was beneficial to eat as much as possible in advance.
At this moment, a man in a suit arrived at the center of the venue.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said.
Everyone in the venue stopped talking and dancing, their gaze focused on the man in the suit.
Except for She Miao. At this moment, he was dealing with the fifth Australian lobster he had set his sights on tonight, but he didn't forget to listen carefully.
"Do you know that they have an ultimate master?" he silently communicated with his teammate through the screen.
"It's the first time I've heard of it," Wang Hongfei replied.Duan Qingquan continued, "This is an opportunity for the Prayer Meeting, and for our branch! Once successful, we will no longer be an overlooked peripheral branch. We will step into the core, have unprecedented influence, and perhaps even have the chance to converse directly with the supreme master!"
Men and women throughout the hall showed longing on their faces, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future he described.
No one noticed that someone in the corner was reaching out to the sixth Australian lobster.
"I've been wondering, Prayer Meeting? Seriously?" She Miao commented while eating, "Why is it called that? Prayer Meeting, it sounds so vague."
"Exactly." Wang Hongfei agreed, "And what's the point of 'prayer'? I'd rather call it 'Penetration Meeting'..."
Duan Qingquan continued his passionate speech, "Now the activation of the Star Flow Stone has basically become a certainty, the abyss is about to open! Right here, on our territory!
Do you know what this means? It means we have been personally chosen by the supreme master, it means we are the ones destined to open that door!
Soon, this small town will become the first sacrifice, followed by the entire Changhe City! The door to the future will open here, and the master will descend here!"
All the Kindred in the hall became fervent.
Someone took the lead and shouted, "Descend! Descend!"
Then it spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, the entire hall began to shout, "Descend! Descend! Descend..."
They shouted continuously for half a minute, the waves of sound almost collapsing the roof. She Miao, full and satisfied, picked his teeth with a toothpick, waving his fists among the Kindred, even shouting with extra effort, "Descend! Descend! Descend..."
Even when the Kindred next to him were tired of shouting, he was still shouting, his face full of excitement like a devout and passionate believer. A buddy next to him seemed annoyed and patted his shoulder, "Alright buddy, you've shouted enough."
She Miao stared at him solemnly, "What? Don't you want our master to descend?"
"???"
The Kindred opened his mouth, quickly retracted his head and dared not say a word.
Duan Qingquan seemed very satisfied with the enthusiasm of his subordinates. He raised his glass, "To our future!"
"To the future!"
The Kindred raised their glasses in response.
Wang Hongfei's voice sounded in She Miao's ear, "Done. Now you have direct elevator access, you can go."
"Okay."
She Miao casually threw away the toothpick and left the venue.
After the host finished his speech, he signaled everyone to continue enjoying the banquet. The Kindred turned their heads back to their conversations, some returned to the dance floor, some to the dining table...
...Then they suddenly froze.
Wow, where's the lobster?
Where are all those big lobsters? How did they all disappear when I turned my head!?
