All my hunting commissions come from another world?

After knocking on the door again, Fabius was awakened from his thoughts. When he looked up and saw Zhou Si, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, but Zhou Si could still see a lot of fatigue and worry in his eyes.

"Lord Fabius, you wanted to see me?"

Seeing Fabius's expression, Zhou Si couldn't help but become serious as well.

Fabius put down the documents in his hand and just stared at Zhou Si quietly, making Zhou Si feel a little uneasy under his gaze.

A minute later, Fabius finally spoke slowly.

"The Alatreon has stopped moving towards the Forbidden Land."

Isn't this good news?

Zhou Si was somewhat surprised as to why Fabius still looked so worried.

But Zhou Si's doubts lasted for less than a few seconds. What Fabius said next made him gape.

"But it did not return to the realm of the gods; instead, it flew in another direction."

Zhou Si held his breath. He knew very well that if the place the Black Dragon went to was unimportant, Fabius would not have such an expression.

With a tense expression on his face, Fabius revealed the destination of the Black Dragon.

"The New World, Alatreon has set off towards the New World."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Cat Is Lost

"Well, what's wrong with you?"

Fabius looked at Zhou Si, who had already lain down at some point, with some confusion.

"I'm a little tired, let me die for a while..."

Zhou Si's soul seemed to be floating out of his mouth, one after another; was he even allowed to live?

"So, Lord Fabius, what's going on in the New World?"

A few minutes later, Zhou Si, having once again accepted reality, got up from the ground and asked Lord Fabius why the Black Dragon had gone to the New World.

As mentioned before, Alatreon often appears because of an entity that is capable of destroying the ecosystem, at which point Alatreon will respond to eliminate the potential threat.

The investigation in the New World has been going on for several years now, and the research team has completely taken root in this new continent. If something had happened that could have destroyed the ecosystem, it is unlikely that they would have found nothing.

Fabius nodded. They immediately informed the Grand Master of the news that Alatreon had changed course, and the message was quickly relayed back.

There are two possibilities for Alatreon to arrive in the New World.

One was that they discovered an adult Xeno'jiiva, although this Xeno'jiiva was clearly not as well-developed as the one in the Elder's Recess.

However, the guild's records clearly state that this monster may reach the legendary forbidden level.

The appearance of a monster of this caliber is very likely the reason why Alatreon was dispatched.

The second reason is Azure Star.

When Zhou Si left the New World, Azure Star had already shown a strong adaptability to Honkai energy, but now it seems that the changes that have quietly taken place on Azure Star are perhaps greater than any of them imagined.

Because of this, the New Continent Survey Team sent a request to us, hoping that Zhou Si could go and check on the situation on Azure Star.

After all, he is the only one who might be able to find the reason for the changes on Azure Star.

"That's the situation. The Grand Commander wants you to go and check on the situation on Azure Star. As for the Crimson Dragon and the others, they'll handle it themselves, so you don't need to worry too much."

Fabius's words eased Zhou Si's tense mood a bit, but he quickly realized that even though that's what he said, if he really got to the New World, how could he not help?

Zhou Si slapped his forehead. Oh well, he'd just treat it as a trip back to the New World. Besides, now that Fabius had said that, he was indeed a little worried about the little mute's condition.

"Is the situation over there urgent? I want to finish things here before I go over."

Zhou Si paused for a moment, then asked Fabius.

Fabius shook his head slightly. If Zhou Si needed to reach the New World by ship, then it would indeed be very urgent. But even if he abandoned Huihui, he could fly from the Forbidden Land to the New World within a day using only his own speed.

Therefore, Zhou Si has plenty of time to finish dealing with things here before heading to the New World.

"It's alright, you take care of your own affairs first. If things change, Azure Star will contact you directly."

Fabius pointed to the cell phone in his pocket. The convenience of this thing was indeed enviable. It was just a pity that there were too many obstacles to laying signal base stations in the Hunter world. Otherwise, they would definitely choose to set this thing up first.

However, Zhou Si did leave a cell phone for Cang Lanxing, but compared to Gu Niao, who had become a surfing expert, Cang Lanxing did not act so smart.

Until recently, Azure Star had only just figured out how to use chat software; usually, her friend Aibo would send messages for her.

"Then I'll take my leave, Lord Fabius."

Zhou Si walked out of Fabius's office with a leisurely air. Coincidentally, he bumped into the caged bird not far from the door. She seemed to have finished her preparations and was talking with Alma about the upcoming trip to the Guardian Village.

"Why the long face? What did Lord Fabius say to you?"

The lone bird looked at Zhou Si, who looked dejected, with some confusion. She had been joking with her just before they arrived, so why was she so listless now?

"Caged bird..."

Zhou Si briefly described his conversation with Lord Fabius to Lone Bird. Lone Bird patted Zhou Si on the shoulder with some sympathy, but his expression was somewhat gloating.

"It's okay, just work hard. Maybe in a few years you'll be in that position too, and then you'll be the one giving orders to others."

Zhou Si looked at the lone bird with a resentful expression. It was easy for her to talk when she was not the one in the situation; it wasn't like she was the one going to the New World to put out a fire.

Zhou Si's resentful look amused Gu Niao, who reached out to straighten his slightly wrinkled collar and spoke in a more serious tone.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will soon find the Guardian's village. Lord Fabius promised me that after the matter with Nata is settled, he will give the Bird Team a short vacation."

"I can take you to explore the Old World then."

Zhou Si was taken aback by the lone bird's words, and then this clueless guy subconsciously blurted out a sentence.

Are you helping me set a goal for myself?

Alma and Tuanzi, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't stand it anymore. The usually gentle and intellectual older sister coughed lightly twice, drawing Zhou Si's attention.

"Mr. Zhou Si, you must not have lived in the Old World before, right?"

"Yes."

Zhou Si only stayed at the guild headquarters in the Old Continent for a few days, and during those days he spent most of his time being beaten up in the training ground, so he didn't have a chance to go out and play at all.

Recalling this experience, his gaze toward the lone bird became even more melancholy.

The lone bird turned its head away somewhat guiltily, even though it was clearly trying to help the other bird improve.

"Although our world may not be as convenient as your original world, it has its own unique scenery. If you have time, I really recommend that you and Lonely Bird go and see it together."

"For example, the hot springs in Jieyun Village are very famous. I happen to have a few tickets for Jieyun Hot Springs. You can go and check it out together later."

Alma looked at Zhou Si with a smile. After this series of punches, Zhou Si nodded in confusion.

Looking at his receptionist, the lone bird felt a surge of emotion, realizing that there were still reliable people around him.

"Now that you've said that..."

"Caged Bird, when I return from the New World, let's go to the hot springs together!"

Zhou Si gave a thumbs up.

"You're the one setting a flag now."

Watching the interaction between the couple, Alma couldn't help but cover her face with the book in her hand.

No wonder you two got together.

--------------

After saying goodbye to Lone Bird and Alma, Zhou Si returned to Mebius's laboratory.

Alicia seemed to have finished talking with Anna, and the two were sitting together very harmoniously, their conversation not at all like that of two people who had just met.

Zhou Si, you're back?

The sharp-eyed Ellie immediately spotted Zhou Si entering the lab and quickly came over to offer her comfort and concern, since she had forgotten about Zhou Si in her excitement.

Zhou Si didn't care about that; he looked around with a puzzled expression.

"Where is Dr. Möbius? Hasn't she returned yet?"

And it wasn't just Mebius; it seems Melo has also left.

"I know I know."

Ellie raised her right hand, just like a good student in class.

"Melo has set off for the Guardian Village with Lone Bird and the others. The energy called Dragon Milk seems to be helping her recover."

"As for dear Möbius?"

Alicia kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then looked expectantly at the room next to her.

That's Möbius's rest room, where he could rest when he got tired of his experiments.

More often than not, however, Mebius was so focused on her experiments that she was eventually found unconscious in front of the testing table by hunters who came to deliver experimental materials.

This had already happened several times in the few days that Mebius had been in the Forbidden Land.

According to her own testimony, she seems to have not slept since the explosion at the First Research Institute.

"Oh, Mebius's out?"

Ellie's voice suddenly rang out, her tone full of smugness and surprise.

Zhou Si turned around, and the scene before him made him gape.

Mebius slowly walked out of the lounge, but instead of her usual white lab coat, she wore a very girlish pink dress.

Coupled with Dr. Mebius's usual impression, the contrast left Zhou Si and Ai Li speechless.

However, judging from Mebius's sour face, it was clearly not her own choice.

As for who the culprit was, Zhou Si could figure it out with his Flame Bag.

"What kind of spell did you cast on Dr. Möbius?"

Zhou Si could hardly describe the surprise in her heart, and with a heart full of questions, she whispered in Ai Li's ear.

"I promised dear Möbius I would visit her institute every week for a check-up, but on the condition that she wears a little skirt?"

"My judgment was right after all; Mebius really suits this dress!"

Ellie's eyes were practically glowing, and Zhou Si looked at Mebius with a hint of pity.

Is it really possible to go to such lengths for an experiment? Hakime, you bastard.

Zhou Si felt nothing but admiration, and then secretly recorded the scene before her in the Hunter's Book.

"Have you two finished talking?!"

The whispers and glances between the two men stung Mebius's last shred of pride, and she yelled at them in a fit of anger and embarrassment. However, her seemingly broken state only excited the two men more.

"..."

Unfortunately, this scene didn't last long. Mebius quickly got used to their gazes. She knew that the more uncomfortable and shy she acted, the more she would please them, so she quickly adjusted herself.

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

Alicia had no qualms, but Zhou Si dared not offend Mebius, since he might need her help later.

"So you guys actually knew there was something important to do, huh?"

Mebius snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure. He was determined to burn the clothes when he got back.

"Anna, what are your plans? The Firemoths probably don't know about the Fifth Herrscher's appearance yet, right?"

Zhou Si pointed to Anna, who was trembling beside him. Anna had been covering her ears tightly during their conversation. After all, the title of "Demon" of Mebius was quite widespread in the Fire Moth, and his fame was even greater than that of Alicia.

Anna was afraid of hearing something she shouldn't have, so she died silently on Möbius's lab table that day. After all, like Alicia, she would have to go to Möbius for a check-up every week.

"How did your talk with that nun go? Is she planning to move the nursing home here?"

Instead of answering Zhou Si's question directly, Mebius inquired about the Twilight Street Sanatorium.

Zhou Si gently shook his head. Aponia did not agree to move the Twilight Street Sanatorium to the Hunter World.

The sanatorium was originally established to take care of children who were unable to live on their own for various reasons. Some of them were abandoned, some had congenital diseases, but most were patients infected with Honkai disease.

If the sanatorium were moved there, it would contradict her original intention in establishing the sanatorium.

However, she did agree to send the children here.
