They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 306 Not to my liking, I won't eat.

Not long ago, he deliberately used the mysterious items brought by the investigators and Ria's sacrifice to the Abyss to infiltrate the ruins of the Abyss.

There were some unsolved mysteries that piqued his interest. Of course, as an avatar who loved chaos, this Hephaestus would not miss any opportunity to induce chaos.

For example, he needs to find out why a certain Abyss Ruler chose to fake his death all these years and analyze His purpose. During this time, he will act as an audience member on the road of the Faceless God, standing in the dark to cheer for the god's wonderful performance.

You ask me why I don't want to go out?

Hephis Gauth continued to smile: "Going out now is not a good idea. There is a baby in the sky that is less than a few months old and is looking for its parents that it misses the most. Unfortunately, I have a little conflict with its parents."

Believe me, you'll die if you go out now.

Mythical creatures that lose their parents become extremely emotionally unstable, and no one knows what they might do.

In the sky.

A black, owl-like creature hovered among the clouds, emitting mournful cries as it flew, seemingly searching for something.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Little Swarth flapped its wings and found a billboard on a tall building as a foothold. It rested for half a minute before continuing its search for Ria.

With its line of sight, it can take in the scenery near and far. Looking down, the first thing you see is a group of strangely distributed buildings, which are hospitals, and each of them is marked with a red cross.

Unlike ordinary red crosses, these crosses are inverted, with the top longer than the bottom, also known as "inverted crosses".

The buildings were submerged, and boats became the main mode of transportation. Further out of the city lay the Black Sea, where nothing else could be seen.

Little Swarth observed the curved horizon at the edge of his vision, pondered for a long time, and came to the conclusion that the world is a sphere.

It knows it is smart, but don't praise it; it is busy looking for Ria and has no time for compliments.

"Goo."

In a short time, Little Swarth glanced over the buildings that did not bear the inverted cross symbol, observing them for any clues.

These buildings are so unique that it's hard for mythical creatures not to notice them. In their minds, the host is a unique being, so even if he is locked up, he should be locked up in the most special place, and everyone should worship him.

If it discovers that Ria has suffered even the slightest misfortune, those people are doomed.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Little Swarth's feathers swelled up again, and now he flew like a black shuttlecock.

In fact, it was worried about the opposite, because it was not easy for others to trick Ria. The observer at the door was staring blankly at the scene inside, almost driven crazy by the people inside.

"If it doesn't suit my taste, I won't eat it."

Ria didn't even glance at the food that had reappeared on the table. He sat on the sofa like a high and mighty king, completely unmoved by the creature outside the door.

"It's obvious that your chefs are not very good; this stuff doesn't look like food for humans at all."

"Then I can't let you eat the flesh of your own kind, you'll get sick."

"How do you know I eat human flesh? I don't eat that kind of thing at all. If you don't believe me, you can find me a piece of human flesh, and I promise I won't react to it." "Are you trying to trick me into giving you human flesh to eat?"

"Isn't it enough to just use a barrier? This shouldn't be difficult for you. Listen to me, the instincts of life don't go wrong. No matter how hungry I am, I have no interest in raw human flesh."

Ria reached out and touched her heart, signifying her faith in the Abyss and that she would not do anything to disobey Him.

"I know you like to lie. The dean told me this, and I'm sure I won't be fooled by a mere test subject like you."

The sounds outside disappeared here, and just as Ria thought it had left, a square opening suddenly appeared in the roof, and a plate of raw meat wrapped in a semi-transparent barrier fell out and landed in front of Ria.

The meat still had blood on it, but it wasn't fresh; it looked more like something that had been frozen and then thawed.

A fishy, ​​foul odor mixed with a slight sour smell instantly filled the room, overpowering all the smells of the food on the dining table.

Lia frowned slightly and turned her head away.

The observer's voice rang out again: "So, isn't that thing tempting... wait, why aren't you interested in it?"

"I already said that this is your own speculation. What normal person would like to eat the raw flesh of their own kind? The problem lies with your chef."

Ria got up and walked to the door: "Let the chef talk to me... I'm not eating, I've been hungry for a long time. You don't want to see the test subjects you're in charge of starve to death, do you?"

How would your dean scold you? Would he label your performance as unsatisfactory? Or would he criticize you in front of everyone and put you out of a job?

Here, humans are considered precious creatures, while the creatures outside the gate are certainly not human. They don't really understand humans, but they can still do some correct things and have even learned human language.

Ria guessed that these creatures had interacted with humans before, but those humans had probably appeared months, years, or even decades ago.

"Are you an investigator?"

He vaguely guessed what was going on, and the creature outside the door trembled as it confirmed Ria's words.

"You're right, you can't not eat anything, there must be something wrong with your health."

"Come with me, I'll take you to the hospital."

The voice spoke these words, and then the door in front of Ria creaked open, and he faced the creature outside the door for the first time.

That thing looks like a human, but it also has characteristics of fish and frogs.

The observer's skin was a shiny, smooth, grayish-green color, with a white belly and eyes that seemed never to close. Its exposed eyes had no whites, only two dark pupils staring at Ria.

Ria observed that it had constantly wriggling gills at the neck, obvious webbed fingers, and was wearing a white coat covered in black mold—if it could still be called a "white" coat.

A nameplate hung on the front of the white coat, on the observer's chest, with words that Ria couldn't understand. He guessed it was a name tag with the creature's name and position.

"Come with me quickly, your condition is very serious... This is my first time being in charge of human experimental subjects, please, please don't starve to death."

The creature's anxious expression seemed genuine, and after leaving the room, Ria discovered an iron ring that had appeared out of nowhere on her wrist.
