Dear Jianchun Place one interstitial He atom where you think it can be safely placed in the bulk supercell (i.e., far from the defect site...). If you want, freeze the Cd and S atoms in their positions and optimize the He position. Look at the forces and check that they remain quite low. Then place an He atom in the same position of the supercell containing a defect. Use the He 1s value to align (it is a relative alignment...) the bulk and defect Kohn-Sham eigenvalues, or use the "Delta He" as a Delta V correction if you want to compare the eigenvalues of neutral and charged supercells. Be careful: it works better when the number of electrons is high, so that it does not matter very much if you add one...
And remember that someone could not like this rough estimate...
