They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 130 Ballad
Lia deliberately kept this in mind. He repeated her words in front of the little girl and then left, leaving the child completely puzzled as to why the person outside would do this.

This was not the reaction I expected.

She tilted her head, visibly puzzled, and soon picked up her book again to look at the next page.

She felt that there must be some deeper meaning behind the other person repeating her words.

James was amused by Ria's behavior again. He clapped his hands, thinking that Ria had always had a talent for playing pranks: "It's not without reason that White Mask and the others are targeting you. You fit their doctrines well."

"If you can't speak, you don't have to, doctor."

Ria recalled what the little girl had just said. She was describing a time when the sea swallowed the earth, and the sun appeared to disperse the floodwaters. This phenomenon was similar to when life appeared.

According to the theories of evolution and the origin of life, a torrential rain fell from the sky, from which life was born. Then land appeared, and the marine life crawled onto the land to begin a new cycle of reproduction and evolution.

But that saying can tell the story of the past and also describe the future. These books related to gods will more or less mention their gods' great achievements in saving the world.

"The ocean submerges the land"—this phrase was repeated fifteen times. Perhaps it's not describing a story of the past, but rather... the future!?

Lia was startled by his own thoughts. Before he could think further, an explosion suddenly came from the room where the little girl had been locked up.

"boom!!!!!"

Ria turned around and saw that the glass was covered with a layer of blood mist, and even mixed with unidentified lumps.

James touched the bird beak on his mask a couple of times: "That's how unstable supernatural beings are. They might be fine one second and then suddenly explode the next."

That creature explodes whenever it can't figure something out, so don't be surprised; it will soon return to its original form.

"is it?"

Ria returned to the other side and, through the bloodstains on the glass, saw the thick book that had been on the table.

The book's surface was completely undamaged; it seemed the little girl would rather be a pile of crumbs herself than let her book be harmed.

Half an eyeball with long blood vessels was stuck to the ground, and it was still slowly wriggling along those blood vessels.

Ria slowly squatted down, holding a Schwarz coin in her hand and sticking it to the glass. The next second, the coin suddenly passed through the glass and fell to the ground, turning into a pen that rolled twice and rolled right in front of the half-eyeball.

"Consider this my apology for what I just did, miss. You seem to cherish your book. Could you tell me the name of that book?"

"..." The half-black eyeball continued to wriggle on the ground. It crawled up to the metal pen. Its vision was blurred, and when it looked up, it could only see faint golden light.

It seemed to be the first time someone had ever given it a gift.

Then, for some reason, it moved its blood vessels, and the blood mist on the glass slowly condensed into a line of extremely tiny characters.

It said the book's name was—

"ΛΗ?" ΕΔΛ#%&Revelation》

The words in front of him were so twisted and varied that they looked like reptiles, as if they would turn into centipedes and break through the glass at any moment. Just looking at them made Ria feel a lot of pain in his normal eyes. He only had time to hurriedly memorize the meaning of the words behind them.

Less than half a second later, the text disappeared automatically.

The eyeball on the ground also dimmed, as if mentioning those words had drained much of its life force. Ria stopped bothering her and returned to James's side. James didn't ask what Ria had done; he didn't seem to mind Ria exploring the secrets of this place, and even chuckled twice when he saw the patient return.

"You see, knowing too much comes at a price. Don't you black market dealers understand this best?"

"Where are you? I can't see things very clearly right now, maybe you've gotten shorter again."

"Hahaha, Kelcha, the way you look makes me want to laugh..."

He had just laughed out loud when suddenly dense tentacles emerged from Ria's flesh and blood, pointing straight at his throat. James was not happy: "I was just laughing at him a couple of times, you impolite mythical creature."

Despite saying this, he still fulfilled his duty by sending out a wisp of black mist to treat Ria's eyes, and soon after, Ria's vision returned to clear.

"Sometimes the pollution is so terrible that you can't even imagine it. Just hearing some of its names or seeing some of its features can make you collapse. But sooner or later, you will have to face these things, which is why I say you are pitiful."

"Perhaps your illness is related to some unspeakable person?"

As he spoke, he continued to lead Ria through the winding corridors, and after half an hour, they finally reached the end.

James passed through the door's authentication process in a special way and stepped outside. The outside environment suddenly became much more spacious, like the second floor of a hospital lobby, with excellent natural lighting that made the place bright and clean.

But then James suddenly said something completely unexpected to Ria.

What do you think an epidemic doctor is?

Before Ria could answer, all the railings in front of him suddenly disappeared, and James reached out to Ria and shoved him violently to the bottom of the building.

The scenery changed again. Ria landed on the ground unharmed, but the surrounding environment had changed completely.

It resembled a dilapidated town, with the mournful sound of the wind echoing everywhere, and blood-stained cloth hanging on the edge of the windows, fluttering rapidly in the wind.

The young man stood up, dusted himself off, and straightened his hat: "Our security measures are really this strict?"

If the plague doctor named Layton has hidden himself here, it would be difficult for anyone other than the plague doctor community to find him. Even if some supernatural beings wanted to attack the gathering place of the secret guardians, they would probably get lost as soon as they entered and be completely defeated.

Lia leaned on her cane, trying to see if there were any other living creatures around, when she suddenly heard a childlike singing voice behind her.

That seemed to be another nursery rhyme. Often, adults would teach nursery rhymes to children in order to express something, using innocent nursery rhymes to spread stories.

"...Disease, we are not afraid of death, the crow people will save us, they are true angels."

“Diseases bring seven days of death; we are in a place that the gods abhor; they are a true nightmare.”

"Disease, we hate disease."

“Disease killed the Crow People.”

"Disease kills everyone."

"Killed everyone!"
