They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 421 Missing Person
The atmosphere here is exceptionally harmonious, without deceit or strife. It seems that everyone here is simply a tourist, while the indigenous people are their hospitable hosts.

The indigenous people even brought out a bunch of grass skirts and invited everyone to change into them and dance the grass skirt dance together. The emerald green leaves were tied together with knots woven from green grass and some thinner and softer grass, and various fresh flowers were decorated on top, which smelled very fragrant.

When people wear it and dance, it will be a multi-sensory experience, both visually and olfactorily.

"my eyes……"

Lia saw a group of dark-skinned, muscular men with stubble on their faces dancing the hula. Their dance moves were exceptionally graceful, captivating countless people with every gesture.

Of course, those people might not have been captivated, but rather frightened. However, as the saying goes, which man hasn't dreamed of dressing as a woman? Grass skirts suddenly became in high demand and short supply.

Lia also saw Delos excitedly take the grass skirt and try to put it on, but then get frustrated because it was too small and could only be hung on his head.

The crew tried to persuade him, "Captain, you can actually turn back into a human."

Delos: "I don't want to become human. Humans are nowhere near as cool as squid. Don't you guys think squid are the most mysterious and coolest creatures in the world?"

"do not think so."

The crew thought this, but no one dared to say it out loud. They praised the captain as the most handsome squid in the world against their will, and only then did Delos accept the idea of ​​putting grass skirts on his tentacles.

Before long, his eight tentacles were covered with grass skirts. Then, as the musicians' rhythmic drumbeats sounded, Delos began to wiggle his body around the fire, waving his tentacles.

The crew members whispered among themselves.

"Don't you guys notice that the boss's body turned white after he got close to the fire?"

"It smells nice."

"I'm hungry."

"Does anyone have barbecue sauce...?"

The crowd began to whisper among themselves, while some, more uninhibited, took the grass skirts and went up to dance. During the dance, they had to be careful not to be slapped away by a giant squid's tentacle, since he had almost twisted himself into a pretzel.

Want to dance together?

A crew member offered Ria a grass skirt, but Ria declined, saying he couldn't dance and that grass skirts didn't suit his style.

"If you insist..."

Ria wrapped the grass skirt around Little Swarth, and Little Swarth, with a coconut shell on its head and wearing a grass skirt, flapped its wings and ran happily into the crowd. Everyone only saw a large black creature suddenly dart past, and before they could even see what it was, it had already run around the fire several times.

"Roar!" To shock everyone, Little Swarth transformed into a lion and roared fiercely, but everyone laughed at it because it was wearing a grass skirt as a lion.

Now little Swarth transformed back to normal, ran to Ria's side and huddled together, beginning to question his own appearance.

"It's okay, you look cool," Ria comforted it, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Little Swain puffed up his feathers and became a ball.

The bonfire party continued, and Ria saw many strangely shaped people walking around with plates. They seemed very happy, but Ria felt that something was off about the place.

It seems like we shouldn't be doing these things at this time and under these circumstances, but that's not the strangest thing.

A red-skinned woman with a sorrowful and hurried expression walked past Ria, and Ria finally realized that something was wrong.

The woman's eyes were red and swollen. She ran to the leader and cried out something, but the leader chased her away with a fierce expression. Then she went to find other people, but she was not welcomed by them either.

But those who had just shown her a menacing look immediately smiled again after she left, as if their fierce expressions were just an illusion.

Ria waved to her from afar. When she saw this, she rushed over as if she had seen a savior. Those who had shown her hostility changed their expressions slightly when they saw this.

“＆$#Λ'～＆ΣΕ!”

The woman quickly shouted something unintelligible to Ria.

Ria frowned slightly, and seeing Ria's reaction, the woman immediately switched to another language.

"Please save my child, my child, Qisha is missing!"

"What? The child is missing?"

Upon hearing this news, the nearby crew members immediately stopped what they were doing and all turned to look at her.

"Have you looked carefully? Maybe they're just playing hide-and-seek; kids love playing hide-and-seek."

"No, Qisha is a sensible child; she wouldn't do something so childish!"

“Childish?” The crew member was immediately puzzled. “Aren’t you being too strict with that child? Hide-and-seek is a perfectly normal game for children. How can you call it childish!”

"I won't allow it!"

The woman continued to shout anxiously, and Lia tried to calm her down: "Take your time, may I ask what your child looks like?"

"About this tall, wearing a long blue dress, black hair, skin as red as mine, no, a little lighter than mine—"

The woman stood there gesturing, even somewhat incoherently. Lia thought of the child who had knocked on her door and handed her a note during the day.

She said it was dangerous there and she should leave immediately.

Now, it is she who is leaving.

"Could it be that Qisha has run off to the beach?" a crew member suddenly said.

"What, the beach?!"

The woman screamed even more desperately, scratching her hair.

"No, it can't be the beach. Even if she's dead, she absolutely cannot be near the beach at this time—"

The indigenous people were also whispering among themselves.

"She said Qisha is missing. Where did Qisha go? I hope she didn't go to the beach. That stupid woman can't even keep an eye on a little girl!"

"Chief, what should we do if Qisha really runs to the beach?"

“Run to the beach? Anyone who runs to the beach at this time will not be accepted by us even if they come back. Just consider that child dead.”

What do you mean by "as if she were already dead"?

“I see many new faces among your crew members. Some of you are here for the first time and may not be familiar with our rules.”

The dance stopped. "If anyone ignores the warnings and goes to the beach on a night during this month, her return will bring disaster—she will kill everyone!"

"Is this the reason for my child's death? Chieftain, you must have a way, right? Save my child! I'd rather she had just gone into hiding while playing hide-and-seek."

The woman's red face turned deathly pale in an instant.

So, do Delos and the others know about this?

Ria observed the facial expressions of the Delos crew members. Most of them looked solemn, some even crying with tissues in hand, moved by the scene. There was also Shamir, who had a strange smile on his face, but when Ria looked at him, his expression instantly turned sad.

Delos still had that squid face; no one could discern the squid's expression.

"Who can save my child? I'll do anything to save my child."

"Don't embarrass yourself here. Don't you know what everyone is doing? Anyone who comes here to disrupt the atmosphere and make everyone unhappy is guilty!"

As someone was speaking, they tried to grab the woman's shoulder, but with a "whoosh," a pitch-black tentacle appeared in front of them.

The crew members were also heartbroken to see the woman's sorrowful appearance. Some suggested that they help the woman find her child, who must be playing hide-and-seek somewhere on the island, but Delos shook his head.

He plucked the grass skirt from his tentacles, and his two longest arms twisted, closed, and then slowly separated.

A picture appeared in the center of the tentacle: a sea that was almost blackish-purple in color, with countless algae floating on the surface, completely polluting the ocean.

This type of seaweed has an extremely short lifespan. It grows rapidly when exposed to moonlight but dies in large numbers when exposed to the sun. However, its seeds are protected by a special substance, so sunlight does not destroy them.

The purple sea looked eerily strange, with a full moon suspended above it, faintly radiating a crimson glow in the night.

"It just happens to be this time..."

A red moon will appear at the beach tonight; the sea is an absolute no-go zone.

Delos stopped the crew members who were trying to run away: "This is not how you do good deeds. Rules are rules. No one is allowed to go to the beach tonight. If you find anyone returning from the beach later, kill them immediately."

With that, Delos lowered his wrists, and the image automatically disappeared.

What just happened demonstrates the prophetic abilities of a prophet. When a meme reaches a certain level, the prophet's meme can not only see the future, but also the past.

The scene just shown was what Qi Sha saw, but some unknown force interfered with Delos's prophecy, preventing him from seeing any more.

Lia's curiosity was successfully piqued: "What will happen if we go to the beach at this time?"

Delos advised him not to be curious: "This is very strange, unlike ordinary supernatural events... This can almost be considered a paranormal event."

Because anyone who walks to the beach during this period will disappear into thin air, and no matter how hard you search, it will be useless. If that person returns, he is no longer himself; he may have become a ghost or been replaced by someone else.

Rumors circulated on the island that all of this was a curse from the dead, and that anyone who came into contact with the dead would be corrupted by the supernatural, or die and be assimilated.

"Even you can't stop it?" Ria asked.

Delos smiled and said, "I'm just a minor superhuman. I'm not a god. I can't control this kind of thing."

Everyone was immediately horrified and became even more wary of the missing child.

Lia thought for a moment: "How about I go and look for it?"

"You want to go to the beach? You'd better be joking. Now, look up at the moon, look at its color. Do you know what its color means right now? The red moon is about to appear, and you have no idea how terrifying it is!"

"I think no one knows better than me."

Lia wasn't lying; he and Hongyue were old friends, though the term "friends" was an antonym. Every time they met, they would have a lot of unpleasantness between them, it was always a matter of life or death.

However, not long ago, Ria received a scarf woven from spider silk from the spider god, Atlak Nakya. This scarf was a manifestation of Atlak's love for Scarlet, and he hoped that Scarlet would continue to accept his feelings and continue to love him.

As a way to fulfill a friend's wish, Ria will go to the beach. He is also very curious about what has appeared at the beach that makes Delos so wary.

He was determined to go, and despite everyone's repeated attempts to stop him, Ria insisted on going. He hoped they would believe in his abilities, and he was also very concerned about the note the child had given him during the day.

Qisha said the island was dangerous, and the people on the island said the beach was dangerous.

The truth can only be known by exploring it yourself.

Ultimately, Delos couldn't stand his persistent pleading and decided to let Ria leave.

He said, "His strength is not a problem. He is clearly two ranks lower than me, but he can fight me to a standstill in swordsmanship... although that kid didn't use a sword at all, he used something else - a cane."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Ria glanced gratefully at Delos, noticing that his skin seemed to have been scorched by the fire. After giving him a heads-up, she turned and left with her cane, while little Swarth quickly flapped his wings.

"Roar!!!"

It transformed into a giant dragon, grabbed Ria, and leaped into the air, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Click, click-"

Shamir stared in the direction Ria had left, his hands constantly whittling wooden sticks. After he finished whittling the sticks, he used the blade to cut his palm, and bright red blood dripped onto the tips of the sticks.

He quickly put the wooden stick away.

While no one was paying attention, he quietly left the spot and followed in the direction Ria had gone.

……

On the coast of Burnley Island, surging waves, carrying dark purple seaweed, crash against the sand and bring a group of marine life ashore.

These creatures are mostly shellfish, which would normally be a gift from the ocean and beloved by people. However, if someone observes these shellfish closely, they will find that their surfaces resemble human faces with very vivid features. When the shellfish breathe, the mouths on the patterns open and close.

Their eyes are located on the edge of their shells, and a row of densely packed, sesame-seed-like particles are all their eyes. Of course, if these mollusks feel that they can't see clearly, their eyes will quickly elongate and protrude from their bodies.

On a cluster of eye tubes, the eyes gradually enlarge, eventually growing to the size of a cluster of human eyes. The eyes are stuck together so crowded that sometimes they also act as "legs," and a group of eyeballs crawl forward like pupae.

Their eyesight is actually not very good; even the faintest light can irritate them, and every time they are irritated, a bunch of purple blood vessels appear in the whites of their eyes.

If you ignore these unpleasant aspects, they actually taste very delicious.

"Goo!"

Little Swarth followed a scallop for a long time, watching as the face pattern on its back changed from "joy" to "fear," and then to "crying."
