"The Marine corps database does have a record of you as a retired officer, and the Mythos Bio Exchange website has revoked your identity. You are no longer the Ohio State Superintendent!"

"What? This is impossible, I have the legal certificate that the Myth Exchange Bureau approves!"

"Well, what about your past legal papers? We need to review it for verification, to make sure you're not an impostor of Michael."

"Well, I lost them by accident today and I haven't had time to find them."

"A mistake? You could've taken your United States Citizen ID card with you!"

"No, I went out today in a hurry, so I didn't take it with me... "

"What about credit cards or bus passes?"

"I usually carry cash and walk."

"Then what have you got on you?

"Is a supermarket card all right?

"..................... "

Everyone is convinced that this man is a liar. The armed soldier in charge of verifying his identity had nothing to say to Michael.

"I am really Michael Mundy!!! I've been framed!!!"

In the end, Michael looked back at us and asked for help. Other than Na-Jia's surprised look on her face, we all thought we were going to hit a wall.

Why would you pretend to be somebody when you're not in charge of Ohio? Even if you want to pass yourself off as the person in charge, you can't even bring your ID with you when you go out.

"What! Are we really going to the police!?"

"No, we're going to the FBI, probably even higher than them."

Dianthe and I looked frightened and stared at Na-Jia with our eyes for help. However, this bastard goddess still stood at the same place calmly, even I could see her mouth corners rising slightly.

"Child, what are you afraid of? As a Chinese saying goes: 'There is truth in a straight body that is not afraid of a crooked shadow.' We haven't done anything wrong; so what are you afraid of? God does not easily wrong good people!"

Na-Jia nodded her head solemnly as if agreeing with what she said. At the same time, this sentence made Dianthe stare at her admiringly, which also made me doubt how low the IQ of this goddess of wisdom was!

"What's more, you have just cursed god and yet you choose to believe that god will forgive you. Don't you forget that you are a god yourself?"

"What...? Where is the real person in charge?"

Dianthe seemed to think about something important, but before I could say what I thought, Na-Jia and Dianthe suddenly felt something, they raised their heads and looked at the sky together, making the armed soldiers around and me very surprised.

Suddenly, as we looked up, a vortex was produced a huge space, which is sending out some sort of eerie red light. The red light is condensed, like a UFO from Mars. It continued to condense and formed hundreds of red lines. I don't know is who was doing this, but they are quickly woven into a complex red magic circle.

The red magic circle showed regular patterns and unknown words, just like Dr. Strange's magic transmission. It began to burn after landing on the ground, and the flames inside condensed into a massive figure. Then the red magic circle gradually disappeared, leaving only the lines on the ground burned by the red magic circle.

At high temperature, a burly figure gradually revealing his identity was a bold Black American man. He was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts with a flower design. His body had strong muscles and his skin was exposed due to the ultraviolet irradiation. I guess he was more tan than before. He was holding a black bag, but it looked like he just got back from a vacation in Hawaii.

"Ray Pride! You look like you had a good time on vacation!"

Na-Jia tapped the man on the shoulder and smiled.

"Well, it's really not a place for humans to live. Even for someone strong like me, they'd be burnt to the coals by the heat!"

The man bared his white teeth, smiling at Na-Jia, and shows off his bronzed muscles.

I'm thoroughly speechless. I originally thought that from the weird red magic circle transmission would come out a Lava Demon of at least five meters in height. I didn't expect a human walk out of it.

"Are you, are you human?"

"Yes! But who are you?"

The black man looked at me in surprise, as if a child like me was around Na-Jia, but he smiled at me in a friendly way.

"I'm Christopher Burba! Er, Dianthe's classmate. You just walked out from the fire magic circle; aren't you a mythical creature?"

"Ha ha, just trying not to be like a dead bird from the transmitting of magic. Honestly, I just came back from Europe on a business trip. Walking out of the fire isn't very cool, is it?"

The man smiled and showed me his bronzed muscles. From the view up close, he looked really strong.

"Stop that now and go fix this situation! Show the soldier your ID so we can walk out of this!"

Na-Jia pulled away from him in front of a smiling Ray, making the armed soldier wary, but after identifying the ID he had taken from his black briefcase, everyone stood still.

"You.. you're Ray Pride! The agent who stopped the biological bombing in Paris!"

"Yes, you wouldn't recognize me since I got a darker tan!"

'I'm sorry, Sir! No, I'm terribly sorry, Sir!"

I could see that the armed soldier in charge of the verification of identity was shaking. The armed soldiers nearby started whispering to each other when they heard what he said. They quickly returned to Ray Pride his ID card. Na-Jia turned to Ray Pride and said:

"You came back here too slow, and I lost at least two million dollars in stock while I was here!"

Na-Jia puts her arms in front of her chest, looks at the time on her phone and frowns as if she is worried about something.

"I did the best I could; after all, long-distance travel in a magic circle requires time!"

"And you contradict me! Don't forget, I pulled some strings with the Mythical Creature Exchange Bureau, almost begging them to give you a holiday off. I also don't care for your useless talk, our situation here will require your explanation."

"Yes, my goddess! I'll get back to work right away."

Seeing Na-Jia ready to get angry, Ray smiled and nodded in agreement, but seriousness had already appeared in his seemingly relaxed eyes.

Na-Jia nodded with satisfaction. You take Michael Mundy with you! He has no research value for me since the new office always needs some achievements, you need him more than I do!"

"Thank you."

"This is my student representative Dianthe, I want you to take good care of her, if you dare to let anyone bully her, don't blame me if I beat you!"

As she spoke, Na-Jia raised her small fist at Ray with a straight face, bringing a flicker of fear into the man's eyes. That made me, as an outsider, not quite understand what it meant.

It turned out that Michael's status as district director had been revoked by Na-Jia, and the burly Black man in front of me was the new District Director of Ohio.

And, judging by the armed soldiers' reactions, the officer, Ray, maybe even more special than Michael. Also judging by the reaction of the armed soldiers at the MRP foundation, if Michael's identity is lower than Ray's, Michael will never be treated harshly for being undocumented.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be lost in thought. At the same time, I looked at the confused Dianthe beside me and began to feel that the world I was living in was getting more and crazier...
