They all call me the Outer God

"What do you want to do?"

Ria didn't move, just staring at the sharp tip of the quill.

"I, hey, I want to do an experiment."

The bookstore owner laughed loudly, and the expression behind the mask became more and more ferocious. He used the quill to stab Riya's blood vessels and arteries, and he couldn't wait to see the grand scene of the explosion.

However, the scene of blood splattering he expected did not happen.

Dense black tentacles suddenly appeared on Ria's neck at the time of crisis. Those tentacles tightly wrapped around the quill that sneaked over, and then twisted into the shape of a big mouth to bite the quill and swallow it whole.

After doing all this, the pitch-black tentacles grew bigger and bigger, until they stuck to Riya's neck and formed a giant black tumor, from which more and more tiny pieces of flesh sprouted out with satisfaction.

Then, each piece of flesh broke out into a thin gray tube. Those gray tubes continued to extend, shattered into powder, and new black feathers emerged from them.

Within a moment, the feathers were completely separated from Riya's flesh and blood, and they stayed on his shoulders and opened two round golden eyes.

"Look, this is the 'monster' you swallowed yesterday."

The boss came forward and hit it on the head with the tip of the mask's mouth. You could hear the obvious sound of bone collision, and the feather ball also fell to the ground with a "snap", flapping its wings and stretching out its claws to scratch his own. Face.

Ria looked down at it, and the strange creature looked up at him.

To be fair, this unknown object reminded Riya of a four-legged owl, or a fat cat that looked similar to an owl.

He had no idea what it was.

But that guy was obviously not as harmless as he appeared. His head was rotated 360 degrees and he was smiling at Ria. His mouth was grinning to the back of his head. When he opened his mouth, his throat was filled with jellyfish. A crystal clear and slippery pipe.

This may mean that it has a good appetite, but Riya doesn't appreciate it at all. He now wants to find an iron trash can to throw the other person in, and then put a whole barrel of explosives in it to blow it up.

"It looks different than it did yesterday."

"Because now it only shows a small part, and its body is still here."

As he said that, the bookstore owner looked up and down Ria... her whole person.

"Let me tell you the truth, young man, you have a right to know the truth.

You are an unlucky guy. Normal people will definitely die if they are parasitized by mythical creatures. But you survived. Not only are you alive, but you have not fallen into madness until now. On the contrary, this guy is willing to relieve your pain and improve your symptoms... It is simply a miracle. ! "

"Have you known me before?"

"No, no, I don't know you. It's just that I have been observing your information for a while. The purpose of my coming to Wensi Town is - you."

He walked around the ria, marveling as he went.

"You don't have to be afraid. As you heard before, I am a secret keeper, and the secret keeper specializes in taking in patients who are corrupted by pollution.

Speaking of which——

We need to mention extraordinary power. The so-called extraordinary power is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if they come into contact with it, they are only dealing with mysterious items.

They use mysterious items to make themselves omnipotent and claim to be extraordinary, but in fact they are not even farts.

Only you!

Only patients like you are the [people] who truly have special powers.

You are the truly great beings. I hate those ordinary people who want to get rid of patients all day long, propagate fallacious theories, and show no regard for human nature. "

The bookstore owner became more and more excited as he spoke, and Riya also noticed that his words were unexpected.

"You mean... you're not a patient?"

"Of course not, I'm not as unlucky as you."

"..."

Riya looked at him with disdain. The boss realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject.

“In order to convict you, the pests outside deliberately described your illness as extremely dangerous and highly contagious – it’s pure nonsense.

Those diseases are difficult to spread among humans, and all slander comes from jealousy. "

The boss's breathing became a little louder, but he soon calmed down.

"Your current situation is very special. Not only are you terminally ill, but you are also parasitized by mythical creatures. It is obviously abnormal to have no problems in the lobe area of ​​your brain.

After all, the patients I have seen have quite extreme personalities. If they want to live soberly, they can only find a reason for themselves to persist. "

"reason?"

"Yes, any reason can become a spiritual support for human beings, such as relatives and friends, pets, love, faith, or hometown, food, or career.

Every secret keeper should have his or her own spiritual support, and rely on these supports to find ways to survive.

In this world, living an ordinary life is the greatest luxury. "

As he spoke, the boss took out a stack of cards from his pocket and asked Riya to take one card from it.

"What's this?"

"Test who among the [Keepers of Secrets] you are suitable for."

"You think I'm a three-year-old?"

Although she said this, Riya knew very well that the other party had no intention of letting her go after all that she had said to her, so she carefully picked through the cards and pulled out a card that was most pleasing to her eyes.

The top hat symbol composed of gears was drawn on the back of those playing cards. As for the front, when Ria turned it over, there was a human-looking entrepreneur in formal attire and a ruby ​​bow tie drawn on the front.

This tall and thin man wore a smiling mask on his face, a silk hat on his head, and held a bird-beaked cane in both hands to talk to people. The collar of his vest and his pockets were stuffed with gold, and his leather shoes were polished spotlessly, shining enough to reflect the gold.

He is a businessman.

Riya immediately thought of this.

At the second glance, he saw a golden English-like word slowly emerging on the pattern, which translated to——

[Black hearted merchant]

[Black merchant]

Merchant? It seems to be quite consistent with his former profession.

After Riya drew the card, the bookstore owner only took a look and told him earnestly: "This is the identity that best suits you, and it will also be your spiritual support in the future.

Remember, do not abandon this identity, do not change your identity, and do not reveal your identity to other keepers who have drawn cards.

I am not a polluter, and I do not need to draw. It is okay for you to show it to me, but never let others see it.

Don't trust anyone, you have to live, only in this way can you live."

After saying this, he stepped back to avoid the bite of the mythical creature on the ground. Seeing that the sneak attack failed and Riya was no longer in danger, the creature flew to Riya again and grabbed his flesh with its claws.

Hiss——

Riya couldn't help but pinch it in pain. Looking at its mouth opening wider and wider, he suddenly thought that hiding the identity card in the mouth of the mythical creature was also a good idea.

So the third throat of the mythical creature from left to right was forced to be stuffed with a card. It hissed in dissatisfaction, and Riya also maliciously pressed against its upper and lower jaws and tried to force its head in half.
