They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 217 Don’t touch me!
"We lost him, we lost our family."

Although that guy is always annoying and always cuts off the octopus's arms, he's still our best family member.

"The leader said it's all your fault. He predicted that one of you was carrying the clown's corpse—give it back to us immediately!"

The rabbit yelled and barked, revealing a set of teeth just like a real rabbit, but Calvin couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

He had heard about the clown; the man had followed the Viscount and seized the opportunity to kill the former Viscount Sicar, framing the disordered ones for the crime, which then alarmed both the Keepers of the Secrets and the Order Society, leading to him being wanted by all of Adeline.

Calvin didn't know what happened after that, but the Joker was a corruptor, and his corpse would definitely be filled with absolute corrupting properties, so how could it be on any of them?

Even disregarding contamination, such a large corpse is not something a normal person could carry around.

"Are you mistaken? This is pure slander."

"The commander has never been wrong!"

"Which circus are you from?"

"Which other circus could it be? How many circuses are there in all of Enderles? We are... well, we are the most famous one. You will all know our name in the future!"

They spoke with great pride, but Calvin insisted on denying it: "We have never seen the Joker, let alone carried his body."

"Impossible, the commander's prediction can't be wrong."

As he spoke, the black bear took out a crystal ball from the bear skin. This was a prop of their leader, but when the black bear used the crystal ball to observe the crowd, he found that what they were saying seemed to be the truth.

The clown's body was indeed not on them.

But the leader made a prediction not long ago...

He couldn't understand it anymore, so he used the crystal ball to divine again. When he reinterpreted the prophecy, he found that this time it showed an ugly toad head laughing at them.

What he didn't know was that their leader's first divination was indeed correct, but Ria disposed of the body very quickly, and when they divined again, the result could only point to Favlorine.

But Favorine's main motif is that of a witch, and she has her own ways of avoiding the seer's spying, such as secretly adding a potion illusion.

Therefore, this divination attempt failed.

Black Bear gritted his teeth in anger. He refused to believe that a disgusting toad could have appeared in the crystal ball, and that a toad could have taken away the clown's corpse.

"Never mind all that, just kill you all. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

As he spoke, he let out a low growl, indicating that Calvin had heard some stories about the circus.

Many unscrupulous circuses claim to take in homeless children or children from orphanages, but in reality, they don't treat them as human beings and force them to perform inhumane acts for their own profit.

The more bizarre and novel the children's performances are, the more the audience likes them. Gradually, even tightrope walking and diving into water tanks can no longer satisfy their curiosity.

Compared to ordinary people who are prone to death, the physical condition of patients with pollution syndrome may attract more public attention. They are not easy to die in a short period of time, and as long as their minds are manipulated, they are simply the most obedient, easy to use, and cheap tools.

Calvin never expected that someone would set their sights on the children.

These children, so young, contracted the disease, were brought into the circus, and ended up looking like this. They said they were human, but everyone had different beliefs. In Calvin's mind, the patients were certainly despicable, but he knew they didn't want to face their physical condition either. The association taught investigators that giving patients death was the greatest mercy they could show them.

At that moment, Calvin's anger reached its peak.

"How could anyone do such a thing! They're already suffering so much, why put them through this again!"

"Yeah, why?"

When no one was looking, Ivand picked up the pipe, wiped it clean, put it in his mouth, and took a deep drag: "Because that's human nature."

The three children in front of them are just Meme Nine, but when the three of them work together, they can unleash extraordinary special abilities.

It's as if they were originally one person, and someone tore them into three.

This is undoubtedly another place worth studying. If Ivand were still young, he might have explored the extraordinary aggregation in detail, but now he has no interest in delving into topics that are not his concern.

He's old, though it's not outwardly apparent, but his mentality is far from what it used to be. For example, while everyone else is running away to avoid the attack, Ivand chooses to be the last to leave.

Just as he thought that, a black figure swept past him, grabbed the wheelchair handle, and started pushing it away at breakneck speed.

The scenery before my eyes flashed by.

"Detective, has your brain rusted along with its wheels? What are you waiting for if you're not running now?!"

"Don't push me, I can spin by myself. If you push me, the wheels will fall apart!"

As he spoke, Ivand started turning the wheel himself, and Ria let go of it. He watched Ivand turn a corner, but just as he was about to follow, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

Ria turned her head and saw a sharp, flesh-colored rabbit face with wide eyes and a grinning mouth.

The rabbit-like child was much heavier than he should be for his age. He jumped onto Ria's shoulder and opened his mouth wide, trying to bite him. In that instant, Ria's pupils contracted suddenly, and a sense of irritation and murderous intent arose in his heart.

"Don't touch me!!!"

At that moment, a swarm of dark, horsehair-like tentacles sprouted from his shoulder, tearing through his flesh and piercing the rabbit's body. In an instant, Lia's ears were filled with the sizzling sound of strong acid corroding the body.

"Oh!"

The rabbit's body was thrown heavily to the ground, so badly damaged that it was unrecognizable. To call it miserable would be an understatement.

The tentacles slowly fell to the ground and gradually stuck together, covered with unidentified golden light particles. The eerie luster blinked constantly, and ordinary people would feel dizzy and see double images just by looking at them for a few moments.

"Gu————"

The thing was crawling around, making a sticky, disgusting sound on the ground. It tried to get closer to Ria, and after staring at it for a few seconds, Ria inexplicably felt an unprecedented sense of panic and disgust.

This mentality even surpasses that of the three children who were tortured beyond recognition and the extraordinary creature with two mouths.

He didn't understand why he was so averse to a bunch of tentacles... Perhaps it wasn't strange to be averse to a bunch of tentacles; it would be strange not to be averse to them.
