They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 188 Not Guilty
"Then, Your Excellency, please make your judgment." The voices of the people outside became increasingly respectful.

“Pronounce the crimes of the disorderly Ria Kercha, and let us put him on trial.”

"You're asking for my opinion..."

"How long has it been since anyone dared to speak to me like that? You think you can stop me with just a pane of glass?"

Ivand stared at those people through the glass, his tone somewhat helpless.

"Why did they imprison me back then? I guess you guys didn't experience it, and you don't understand it deeply enough."

It's a shame, have the investigators already forgotten how horrific my story was?

"Haha, just kidding. Don't point your mysterious items at me. Those decent people in 01 will get agitated."

Ivand joked to the people around him, but no one dared to reply. The group remained motionless: "Please judge the disorderly ones."

"Okay, the verdict is in. Does anyone want to know?"

Ivand's form stopped fading and instead became more solidified. He sat in his wheelchair shaking his head repeatedly, which surprised the other investigators.

They heard it with their own ears—Charlie, who usually only existed in rumors, said—

"Kelcha is a fantastic detective assistant. He is very hardworking and can handle all the tasks assigned to him very well."

Furthermore, he possesses humanity, and the evil he commits must not be intentional, but rather born out of necessity.

Therefore, from any perspective, he is innocent.

Everyone else stared in disbelief. At that moment, someone dropped their mysterious item, and the entire environment became eerily quiet.

"I've spent so much time with Kercha, and you all doubted such an outstanding young man over such a trivial matter. This makes me start to wonder if the quality of investigators needs to be improved."

If you really can't do it, you can find someone else to take it.

The process of Ivand merging with the person on the sickbed suddenly stopped, and his figure quickly solidified completely.

The man took out a pipe from his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

The white smoke rings floated upwards and disappeared into the air.

Why can't his consciousness return to his original body?

The investigators, who knew the truth, were somewhat flustered by what they saw.

The investigator vigorously wiped his face and looked at his colleague who was in charge of containing Ivand.

He also looked puzzled.

"I don't know, it's possible that when my consciousness was projected outwards, it was contaminated by something..."

The investigator operated a device for a moment, and then pressed a button with a "click," causing white smoke to billow from the corners of the detention room.

These smokes can inhibit biological activity, causing them to quickly fall into a state of minimal physiological depletion, which is sleep.

Upon seeing this, Ivan clicked his tongue.

He had recently experienced a similar situation, so of course he wouldn't give these people a friendly look now.

"Pollution? Who else can pollute me?"

"Is this how you people treat an 'old person' like me?!"

Young people, you have really disappointed me.

Once my true form leaves this place, I will show you all why even 01 fears me.

As for now... I don't want to play along with your nonsense anymore. If you want to die, try stopping me.

After he finished speaking, his figure suddenly faded again, and someone realized something was wrong: "That consciousness is trying to escape!"

"Stop him! Quickly get the mysterious item number 06-71!"

"Received, application in progress... Application approved, power set to maximum!"

"Where's the 122th?"

"Already in use." "Number 403!"

"The application failed, I applied again, it failed again, I applied again... and it still failed!?"

"What!!?"

There seemed to be some internal disagreements within the association, and it was during this opportunity that Ivand's consciousness curved into a smile.

"Disrespecting elders can cause problems. It's a rare opportunity to get out, and no one is willing to be locked up here forever."

I'm leaving. Don't look for me anymore, or I'll go find the current management in the middle of the night and have a heart-to-heart talk with them about their future.

You'd better pray... we never see each other again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ivand solemnly waved to everyone, turned his wheelchair around, and disappeared.

That day, a major upheaval occurred within the Order Association, reportedly even alarming the prosecutors at the top of 01, but the matter was quickly quelled.

It was clear that the prosecutor tacitly approved the release of Evander Charlie's consciousness.

“His true form is still here and can’t go far, but if we keep chasing him and cause his true form to wake up prematurely, it will be a disaster for the whole of Endlers.”

...By the way, who secretly proposed the consciousness awakening plan without the approval of the Roundtable Conference and sent him to Antarctica to carry out an investigation mission?

And the person in charge of the mysterious item 06-403.

Regardless of your reasons for refusing to use the mystical item, Evans' priority always outweighs the mystical item.

Tomorrow you'll go to Antarctica with him. You're not allowed to leave your post until the Antarctic situation is resolved.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"No?"

"Very well, meeting adjourned."

……

Everyone below left.

The man in blue robes on the platform clenched his fists, then slowly released them.

Only a few dim lights flickered in the spacious hall. This was a top-secret place, and no one except senior association members was allowed to enter.

It is very large, with just one hall space covering several thousand square meters. In times of crisis, it can be used as a temporary refuge.

But after the crowds dispersed, the place felt too empty.

The prosecutor in blue stood on the stage, feeling nothing but deathly silence.

Blue is the color that represents peace and is the original intention behind the establishment of the Order Association. However, at this moment, the prosecutor thinks this color is ridiculous.

"What reason could possibly lead us to turn against our old friends?"

“Ivand, I have fulfilled my promise. I hope you will never wake up. Our land and people are no longer able to bear any more disasters they bring.”

……

"Click——"

The specially made cage was opened.

In an unknown place, the man in the wheelchair looked at the black creature with its feathers swelling in the cage and nodded to it.

"Go back now, you're free. Say hello to Kercha for me."

"Goo!"

The creature turned its head, its eyes wide open.

It was none other than Little Swarth II, which had been missing for several days and which Ria had been searching for. Shortly after it set off with the letter, it was captured by the person in front of it and locked in an iron cage from which it could not escape.

This was a great humiliation for Little Swarth II, so the moment it ran out, it didn't hesitate to swing its tentacles at Ivand.
