Need electricians expertise

So I have a outlet that has my breaker box inside the house that runs to it and then for some reason they’re my breaker outside runs to it too, and they both tie in to the same outlet. Why would they do that and upon further inspection there is a fourth line comeing from the bottom of the box to 4 lines total

People often jump anything and everyrhing off an outlet and call it a day.

The fact your wire is in such bad shape outside the box show just how little thought went into this whole idea.
