They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 135 The One Who Declares War on the Extraordinary

"Aaaaaaaah!!!"

Little Swarth was so startled that its pupils dilated. It repeatedly examined the hat with its antennae until it confirmed that it was for it. Overjoyed, it immediately rolled on its side and frantically tumbled to the ground.

A moment later, to avoid damaging the hat, it swallowed it whole and then disappeared into the water.

Lia was puzzled by its strong reaction and calmly waited for the fish to bite. During this time, footsteps gradually appeared behind him.

He turned around and found that the source of the voice was a young-looking person with the Order Association's insignia hanging on the front of his clothes. He was probably a new investigator with little experience after joining the company.

But the Order Association should also have onboarding training, so Ria was prepared to hear what this person had to say.

"Don't go near the lake! I've told you so many times, don't go near the lake! There are supernatural beings here... and piranhas that will drag you to the bottom of the lake! Get out of here now!"

Ah, for the sake of the sun, please leave immediately!

Lia pointed to the right side of the lake shore: "Aren't you going to try to persuade those people over there?"

"I've tried my best to persuade you. Don't change the subject. Now, leave here immediately. I'm demanding in the name of the Order Association that you pack your things and go home right now, or you can expect to be fed to the mermaids or arrested."

As he was speaking, he took out a megaphone, but at that moment, Ria turned around and said, "I'm leaving right away. Let me fish a little longer. Can you really bear to let someone who loves fishing go home empty-handed?"

"That's not something I should be responsible for."

"Don't be such a spoilsport, sir."

Ria tossed him a coin, which the investigator initially didn't want to catch, but somehow ended up taking it anyway.

"Consider this my bribe. Now, the deal is done. Answer my questions."

The young man pulled down the brim of his hat: "What is your attitude towards the Keepers of the Secrets?"

"I...I don't like them."

The investigator's eyes struggled, and he uncontrollably uttered things that he shouldn't have told outsiders.

He said, "The association tells us that the Keepers of Secrets are a dangerous presence, but it's best not to cause trouble in the nobles' territories, as they protect the Keepers of Secrets, which goes against our principles."

"What purpose?"

"The extraordinary are inherently corrupt, and everything related to them should be completely eradicated. However, the royal family and nobles, who should have stood on the same side as us, have gradually become biased towards them."

They only go through the motions, sending my colleagues to remote areas to capture the disorderly.

"The Order Association shall not pose an excessive threat to the disorderly persons of this city until they openly violate the law, except for those who are not disorderly persons but suffer from contaminated diseases."

"So that's it."

Ria nodded gently.

"Does your organization also have places to house extraordinary beings and mysterious items?"

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, the investigator's expression gradually became proud: "Our security measures use the most advanced security technology. Half the credit for Enderles' technology developing to its current level belongs to us."

"We have always believed that humanity will eventually triumph over the supernatural, and even if we die, we should die on the road to fighting pollution."

His voice was very loud, and when Ria looked at him, she suddenly clapped her hands.

“You win, sir.”

“On the road to fighting pollution, we should always be on the same side. No one can avoid being an enemy of pollution.” As Ria finished speaking, a huge splash suddenly broke the surface of the water behind him, and a huge black shadow blocked out the light, shrouding his figure in darkness and oppression, with only a few golden lights remaining.

The investigator's eyes gradually widened, and his pupils contracted.

With a loud "thud," the dark shadow was flung to the ground further away. A mythical creature resembling an owl flew to its top, folded its wings, and let out a deathly cry.

“Well done,” Ria praised it.

Below the mythical creature was a supernatural being known as the "piranha." This strange fish had claimed countless lives, and because of its unpredictable nature, the investigators could only investigate it when others were not around.

Now, the fish was easily caught by Little Swartz and brought ashore.

Its upper and lower jaws protruded, still unwillingly opening and closing, rubbing its fangs together, making a sharp sound.

The investigator was stunned. He stared in disbelief at the extraordinary creature that had been searched for so long. The next second, he looked at Little Swarth, then at Ria, and his eyes suddenly cleared.

"You...you guys!?"

"What, is this your first time encountering a disordered being and a mythical creature?"

Ignoring him, Ria took out a dagger and walked towards the supernatural creature, swiftly disemboweling it without hesitation. He often did this kind of work when he was in Grani, so he was very good at it.

The only problem is that the giant fish's scales are very hard and not easy to break; forcibly breaking the scales will damage the blade.

Lia had no choice but to cut it in half and take the meat from the belly of the fish.

A fire was set up on the ground, and Ria put fresh fish on it to roast, while wondering why no fish had come to her fishing rod.

Could it be... that he really has no talent for fishing!?

This is a terrible thing.

Ria flipped the nearly cooked fish over, sprinkled it with salt and the seasonings Little Swartz had collected, and the fragrant aroma, along with the sizzling sound of the fish fat being grilled, spread far and wide.

"Why don't you leave?"

He looked at the investigator not far away, who, after struggling for a while, walked over and plopped down next to the fire.

"I want to ask, are you really a disorderly person?"

"Ten times the compensation if it's fake."

"...Then that won't be necessary."

The investigator looked up at the sky: "I should arrest you, but after thinking about it, you are indeed very powerful. It is impossible for me to arrest you on my own, and I can't escape either."

"We need to report back after capturing extraordinary beings, but now we can't even report back. This is the most direct difference between ordinary people and you..."

The most fundamental difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary.

So—could I have a taste? Please, sir.

Lia couldn't help but find it amusing; after all, one person couldn't eat that much meat, so he didn't mind sharing his food with others.

"Let me tell you, the people in the association are too conservative. Why can't we unite to fight pollution? Why do we have to make everyone so tense every day?"

If I became a member of Class 01, I would change all those ridiculous rules. To be honest, before I became an investigator, I always envied those who could use supernatural abilities…

The investigator talked on and on, as if he had finally found someone to whom he could pour out his doubts and grievances over the years. Ria remained silent and listened to him talk quietly.
