All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Mad Dragon Disease

"Little bird, step back!"

The moment Zhou Si saw the purplish-black dust, his expression changed drastically, and his previous leisurely and composed demeanor vanished instantly.

Chu Zihang felt a hurricane rush past him. When he looked again, the strange man in the t-shirt was already beside the red dragon, and a strangely shaped crimson greatsword had appeared in his hand.

The male Rathalos, with blood-red eyes, charged forward like a madman. Although it was a flying dragon, the thud of its charge on the ground was like a small mountain crashing down. Chu Zihang and Elin could even feel the earth trembling.

Facing the Rathalos's rampaging charge, Zhou Si simply lowered his body slightly, dragging the Crimson Dragon Severing Sword at his side, waiting for the right moment.

A wave of intense heat swept over him, and the Sky King, with flames in its mouth, appeared in front of Zhou Si in the blink of an eye. It opened its blood-red maw, ready to bite Zhou Si to pieces, and Zhou Si seized that moment.

This greatsword, crafted entirely from materials from the Safi'jiiva dragon, was imbued with powerful explosive properties. The Safi'jiiva Severing Sword's blade sliced ​​through the air, landing with terrifying force precisely on the Rathalos's jaw.

boom--! ! !

With a loud explosion, Chu Zihang's pupils contracted. The dragon that could easily tear a tank apart crashed to the ground, its massive maw, capable of unleashing dragon fire, now a bloody mess, its throat completely ripped open.

Zhou Sitai understood the Sky's Dead. This sword strike not only dealt the full explosive damage of the Crimson Dragon Severing Sword, but also detonated the flames accumulated in the Fire Dragon's Flame Bag.

Such immense damage had brought this Rathalos to the brink of death, yet even so, the bloodshot in its eyes showed no sign of fading, and it still struggled to get up and destroy everything around it.

"You two, stay away!"

Even though the male Rathalos had clearly been sentenced to death, Zhou Si's expression did not relax at all, and he loudly stopped Elinie and Chu Zihang from getting closer.

"what is this?"

This was the first time Elena had ever seen Zhou Si so nervous. It was impossible for a mere male fire dragon to make him so serious; the strange changes on that fire dragon were probably not a good sign.

"Dragon Disease..."

Zhou Si uttered three words, and Elinie frowned. She vaguely recognized the word. After thinking carefully, the little bird asked uncertainly.

"Black Eclipse Dragon?"

Zhou Si nodded solemnly.

Black Eclipse Dragon is an extremely special type of dragon. It is actually a juvenile ancient dragon called Sky Return Dragon. It is entirely black and covered with black wing membranes that resemble a cloak.

If it were just the Black Eclipse Dragon itself, it wouldn't be a threat. After all, this monster is just an Elder Dragon cub. Even the adult Sky Returning Dragon isn't among the strongest Elder Dragons.

But what's terrifying about this thing isn't its strength at all, but the scales that appear alongside the Black Devouring Dragon, which the guild has named the Mad Dragon Virus.

The Black Eclipse Dragon is a blind monster that uses these special scales to locate itself and enhance its senses, which is how it survives.

However, this kind of scale powder is an absolute death sentence for ordinary creatures.

The Mad Dragon Virus erodes the bodies of monsters. Without exception, monsters infected with the Mad Dragon Virus will have bloodshot eyes and go berserk, either dying in battle with other prey or being eroded to death by the Mad Dragon Virus.

This male fire dragon did not initially show any symptoms of being infected by the mad dragon virus. It only became mad dragon-like after Elinne fought it for a period of time, so it is highly likely that this guy was not a direct infected person.

"It must have been infected by that female fire dragon."

Zhou Si scratched his head in frustration. The biggest problem now wasn't the fire dragon couple who were going to meet again in the underworld, but rather figuring out the source of the Mad Dragon Disease.

Did the Black Eclipse Dragons also come to this world, or were they simply infected with the Mad Dragon Virus and thus arrived here?

If it's the latter, the guild needs to be notified immediately to pay attention to the ecological situation in various locations; as for the former...

Zhou Si had to find this guy and kill him as soon as possible.

Just because the hunters can withstand the Dragon Virus doesn't mean the people of this world can, especially since dragons also exist here.

If we're not careful, this world might turn from an urban fantasy world into a post-apocalyptic virus world.

"Zhou Si, come and take a look."

Elena's voice interrupted Zhou Si's thoughts. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw that the guy who had fought bravely against the Rathalos was now lying unconscious on the ground.

Chu Zihang's face was full of pain. When Zhou Si looked closer, he saw that obvious signs of dragonification had appeared on his body, and the purplish-black dust that symbolized the Mad Dragon virus had also climbed onto his body.

Oh dear, Zhou Si's worst fears have come true.

The Mad Dragon Virus stimulates the dragon blood within hybrids, causing their originally stable bloodline to become disordered.

The surrounding temperature suddenly began to rise, and Chu Zihang had completely lost control of the power in his bloodline. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon completely degenerate into a Deadpool.

Moreover, it's a Plus version of Deadpool enhanced by the Mad Dragon Virus.

"It's good that you ran into me."

Looking at Chu Zihang lying on the ground, Zhou Si took out a bottle of potion from the Hunter's Book. The guild had done a lot of research on the Black Devouring Dragon, and the Mad Dragon Virus was not incurable.

Dalang, it's time to take your medicine.

A dozen minutes later, when the Kassel search and rescue team arrived at the area, they only found Chu Zihang lying alone on the ground. Zhou Si, Ailini, and the corpse of the male fire dragon had all disappeared.

————————————————————————————

The bright red wine swirled in the glass, and Angers lay on his expensive chair with his eyes half-closed, looking like an ordinary rich old man.

The principal's office window had been opened at some point, and the clock on the wall had stopped ticking. The elusive little devil was now sitting in the large chair opposite Angers, pouring himself a glass of grape juice.

“This isn’t some public place where you can come and go as you please.”

"Do you have an appointment, little one?"

Angers chuckled as he straightened up, opened his eyes to look at the little boy in front of him, and then reached out to take the cup from his hand.

"We don't serve alcohol to minors here."

Lu Mingze wasn't annoyed. Even though Angers had mocked him so blatantly, their goals were still the same for now.

"I need a list."

The little devil got straight to the point, and Angers raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had thought this guy was here for Lu Mingfei, but now it seemed there was something else going on.

"What list?"

Although we don't know what this little fox is up to, let's listen to what he has to say first.

"Who were the members of your secret society who went to hunt down that green dragon? I need their names."

Despite having come with a request, Lu Mingze's expression was unusually relaxed, as if he wasn't the one asking for help.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Upon hearing Lu Mingze's request, Angers stopped swirling his wine glass and looked at the young man in front of him with surprise. He was even more confused. Had this kid gone mad after not seeing him for a while? Did he really think he would tell him something like this?

Although they did have some collaborations that couldn't be openly discussed, both of them were well aware that they were never really on the same page.

"Hehe, you will be able to do it, Angers."

Lu Mingze chuckled twice, then pushed a photo onto the table.

The second hand moved to the next mark, and the little devil's figure disappeared from the principal's office.

Angers stared at the photo on the table in silence for a long time before dialing a number.

"How is Chu Zihang?"

"Chu Zihang is fine, but..."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated a bit, but waited patiently. After a while, a sentence finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Principal, you should come and see for yourself. The situation is quite complicated."

After hanging up the phone, Angers felt a bad premonition. He stared intently at the photo left by Lu Mingze. In the photo, Chu Zihang was lying on the ground, exuding an eerie purple aura, and black scales had already climbed up his neck.

"Norma, compile a list of those who participated in the previous operation."

"Yes, Principal Angers."

After finishing his speech, Angers got up and left the principal's office, heading straight towards the medical department.

......

In the medical ward of Kassel College, Chu Zihang was quietly resting on his hospital bed.

Professor Schneider had visited him not long ago, and his classmates from the Lionheart Club and senior students from the Executive Department also came. Although Chu Zihang usually has a cool and aloof demeanor, he is actually quite popular at school.

And now, the most important person in the entire academy has also arrived.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

At this moment, Angers, the principal of Kassel College, was sitting by his sickbed, peeling an apple for him with a folding knife that had been stained with who-knows-how-many dragon blood. His superb knife skills were somewhat of a waste of the small apple.

"Do you want to eat?"

Chu Zihang shook his head, feeling that the apple was haunted by the vengeful spirits of dragons, so he decided not to eat it.

Seeing this, Angers used a folding knife and fork to pick up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth.

"I heard that you've changed a bit. Would you mind if I took a look?"

Upon hearing Angers' words, Chu Zihang nodded without hesitation. He had already considered this possibility, and then took his left hand out from under the blanket.

Then, under Angers's solemn gaze, a row of neat black scales suddenly grew on Chu Zihang's previously normal arm. If there were instruments monitoring in real time, Chu Zihang's bloodline had completely exceeded the warning line at this moment.

Angers looked into Chu Zihang's eyes but found no sign that his spirit had been affected.

Angers took a deep breath and then covered his hands with the blanket.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Come to the principal's office after you are discharged from the hospital. I have something to give you."

Seeing Angers' serious expression, Chu Zihang obediently nodded.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Brother Zhou's Wisdom!

"This should be the last one."

In a dark alley, Zhou Si squatted next to an unconscious young man and stretched wearily.

This guy is the last one on the Little Devil's list. The situation is relatively optimistic, as only a few of these people are infected with the Mad Dragon Disease.

Because they were discovered in time, and because their bloodline level was not as high as that cold-faced guy, they were basically caught and drugged by Zhou Si before they even started to show symptoms.

It now appears that the quality of dragon bloodline obviously affects the symptoms of the Mad Dragon Disease. Logically speaking, the Mad Dragon virus they contracted would at most cause a normal person to be bedridden and uncomfortable for a few days, but in hybrids, the symptoms are more like those of a monster infected with the virus.

"Boss, can I take a break now?"

Su Enxi's slightly hoarse voice came through the earphones. Little Devil's after-sales service was indeed good. Not only did they provide a detailed list of personnel, but they also had dedicated customer service to help him find out the locations of these people.

Poor Potato Chip Girl, she's barely had any rest these past few days.

"That's all for now."

Meanwhile, Su Enxi in the hotel felt like she had been granted a pardon, but before she could finish celebrating, she heard Zhou Si's next sentence.

"Just keep an eye on the information about those monsters for me."

"...OK."

In the past few days, while examining the bodies of these hybrids who had come into contact with the Mad Dragon virus, Zhou Si discovered that most of the members of the Kassel Executive Department were dealing with or following up on some 'Dragon Clan' awakening incidents.

But when Zhou Si saw these so-called 'dragons', he found that they were basically all old acquaintances of his.

Various small, non-aggressive dragon species, such as herbivorous dragons and pterosaurs, have appeared in this world. The strongest individual Zhou Si encountered was only a peach-furred beast.

These monsters all had some of the Black Devouring Dragon's scales on them, but this amount of the Mad Dragon Virus was not enough to drive them into a complete frenzy. Therefore, the executive officers were not in any great danger for the time being.

However, the composition of these monsters made Zhou Si frown, because he discovered that these monsters basically matched the ecosystem of the Tianqian Sand Plain and the Crimson Forest.

However, these monsters are mostly common small to medium-sized monsters, so Zhou Si couldn't be sure. He just informed the investigation team that there might be a possibility of Black Devouring Dragons appearing in the Forbidden Land, and asked them to pay close attention to the situation of monsters in the vicinity.

As for him, he should now go and prepare for his enrollment at Kassel College.

Whether it's searching for the Black Dragon or helping Erii recover from her illness, attending this school is necessary.

Meanwhile, Kotori and Erii were already waiting for him in Chicago.

Finding a deserted open space, Zhou Si once again vanished into nothingness, then flapped his wings and flew towards the Chicago train station.

——————————————————————————————

As a transportation hub between cities, the Chicago train station is constantly bustling with people beneath its massive dome.

Zhou Si flew non-stop from the easternmost part of the United States to this place in about two hours. Because the gun wing was too conspicuous, he could only fly with the normal wings.

Zhou Si, who had just arrived at the train station, hadn't met Erii and the others yet, but instead bumped into a familiar figure.

A familiar figure, carrying two suitcases and a backpack that looked like it was about to burst open, stood blankly at the entrance of the Chicago station, staring at the huge station sign above his head.
