I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Shifting her thoughts back from the magic network, Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu, whose expression was somewhat solemn, seemingly still harboring hostility towards Leopard.

He glanced at Leopard again; the young, beautiful girl looked expectant.

"Shall we go?"

Chapter 794 was just right for me.

Why are you standing so far away?

Lu Ban looked at Feng Yu, who was far away from him, and asked.

"That way, if anything unexpected happens, I can escape immediately."

Feng Yu said matter-of-factly.

She kept staring at the beautiful college girl next to Lu Ban.

Leopard didn't seem restrained at all. She looked around Lu Ban's side, buying some snacks here and taking photos there, just like a young girl taking her boyfriend out.

Fortunately, for traffic safety in Miskatonic, Lu Ban still wore a mask properly, so others could not recognize him.

For ordinary people, wearing a mask to cover the lower half of their face may make them look prettier or more handsome, because people who are not so good-looking still have some flaws and disharmony in their facial features. Sometimes, the more they are covered up, the more attractive they look.

For someone like Lu Ban, whose appearance has already reached the limit of human beauty, any flaw would be fatal.

Just like a math problem with a perfect proof and only one way to prove it, if you arbitrarily delete or modify it, you'll only be adding unnecessary details.

Therefore, Lu Ban's appearance was greatly diminished when he wore a mask.

After walking for ten minutes, only three girls nearly fell because they weren't paying attention to the ground, or bumped into utility poles or fire hydrants.

congratulations.

Compared to Lu Ban, more people noticed Leopard.

Her avatars in the ruined capital possessed extraordinary charm, which ordinary people would find difficult to escape even under normal circumstances. And her avatar in this world, Leopard, naturally inherited that charm as well.

Unlike the charm of a mature woman, Leopard exudes the youthfulness and innocence of a young girl, like walking along a forest path in the early morning when a cute, colorful cat suddenly appears, comes to your feet, gently rubs the tip of its tail against your trouser leg, and rolls around on the green grass while meowing at you.

It's so irresistible.

Therefore, although traffic in Miskatonic did not cause any accidents because of Lu Ban's good looks, it did cause a traffic jam because of the leopard next to Lu Ban. Even if the leopard was 99% at fault, Lu Ban was probably 1% at fault as well.

Lu Ban bought a mask from a convenience store on the street and put it on Leopard.

"It's so hard to breathe."

Leopard reluctantly put on the mask and protested.

Immediately, Lu Ban noticed several cuts on the side of her fair neck, opening and closing slightly like shark gills, as if she were breathing.

Snapped--

Lu Ban covered the fish's gills with both hands.

"It hurts so much, I'm going to die."

A hoarse sound came from the leopard's throat.

"childish."

Feng Yu commented from the side.

“Some things are very childish for elementary school students, but they are just right for a girl my age.”

The slit on the leopard's neck closed up, returning to its smooth, white appearance, making one want to stick their tongue to it.

"I don't want to wear a mask, I'll change my appearance instead."

Leopard seemed to really resist the breathing-blocking equipment. As soon as she finished speaking, her face underwent a subtle change, and she became a different person.

"Look, look, how about this?"

Leopard circled around in front of Lu Ban.

She had black hair and amber eyes, just like the shrine maiden who was burned to ashes on the island.

It was as if she had truly come into this world.

"Stop fooling around."

Lu Ban rubbed her head.

Leopard changed again, returning to its original appearance, with only minor differences in details. These subtle changes altered its overall demeanor, reducing its appearance from a 90 out of 100 to an 80. Although still beautiful, it was no longer as eye-catching.

I thought you would like it.

She muttered something.

"hehe."

Feng Yu sneered from the side.

"I think you did this on purpose."

"Isn't it quite interesting? I'm best at changing appearances, and I can imitate not only physical features, but also physical details and personality memories."

Leopard puffed out its chest and turned to look at Lu Ban.

Where are we going next?

"Since the film festival invited me, I'll go and check out their organizing committee."

Lu Ban didn't pay attention to what Leopard said. For an incarnation of an outer god, especially one who likes to cause trouble and have fun, this level of disco in the minefield is not rare, but at least commonplace.

Moreover, leopards have a particular fondness for the chaotic emotions of humans; the changes in human emotions, extreme feelings, and confused thoughts are all things she loves.

Therefore, this attempt to stir up Lu Ban's emotions is perfectly reasonable.

Lu Ban and the others soon arrived at the location of the film festival organizing committee. Although it was hosted by the university, the organizing committee's office was not located on the campus, but in a low office building on a hillside in the northwest of the city. The building looked quite old. Opposite the office building was a hospital.

From here, you can overlook a large part of the city; it's considered one of the highest points in Miskatonic.

Lu Ban glanced at the sign above, which read "Arkham Asylum." The iron gate at the entrance was tightly closed, and inside stood many Gothic-style spires, making it look like an ancient site.

"Foreigners really have a simple and honest way of life; they just named it 'The Asylum'."

Lu Ban remarked that seeing the mental hospital gave him a sense of warmth and familiarity, and he immediately felt a strong urge to visit it sometime.

But we need to get down to business right now.

Lu Ban walked into that building.

"Hello, I have received an invitation to serve as a jury member at this film festival."

He politely showed the receptionist the invitation on his phone.

But when the other party saw the black invitation, they frowned.

"Um, excuse me, sir, this invitation seems a bit... off?"

The receptionist checked twice before hesitantly speaking.

"Isn't that right?"

Lu Ban carefully examined the invitation.

"Oh, sorry, I made that up."

Feng Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and said.

"?"

Lu Ban looked at Feng Yu.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You didn't ask."

Feng Yu stood aside, seemingly unconcerned, watching the show with a smile, and even pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds from somewhere.

"It's alright. Once you reveal your identity, they'll be begging you for help."

She added another sentence.

Lu Ban then took off his mask.

Upon seeing Lu Ban's appearance clearly, the receptionist's mouth immediately dropped open in astonishment.

"You...you are...Director Lu Ban?"

She asked, taken aback.

"It's me."

Lu Ban nodded.

"I heard that the Miskatonic Film Festival has many excellent works, so I wanted to come and appreciate them."

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, the receptionist immediately panicked and picked up the phone to call the organizing committee office. A moment later, several people rushed out of the office.

"Director Lu Ban, you should have informed us earlier. We could have sent someone to pick you up at the airport."

"That's what the man in the middle of his life, who's over fifty, said."

"It's nothing, I'm just browsing around. Your film festival is pretty good."

Lu Ban paused for a moment, then asked again.

"By the way, we don't have a place to stay yet. Could you help us arrange a few rooms?"

He did not forget his original purpose.

Chapter 795 Arkham Asylum

From an outsider's perspective, Lu Ban might seem like someone who lives off his reputation.

In reality, Lu Ban was indeed just freeloading.

Although with his assets, buying a hotel here would be no problem at all, how can spending his own money compare to eating and drinking for free?

Moreover, if Lu Ban were to participate in the film festival as a judge, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to the Miskatonic Film Festival, bringing immeasurable benefits. It wouldn't be shameful for Lu Ban to accept a little of their hospitality.

After chatting with the film festival organizing committee for a while, Lu Ban left, carrying several boxes of DVDs.
