All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Picking up a roasted dragonfish from the ground, Zhou Si couldn't help but swallow hard as he smelled the aroma of the meat emanating from it.

Chapter Two: Reaching the Shore

There are many ways to cook fish, but Chef Zhou didn't want to go through too much trouble today. Several hours of strenuous exercise had left him physically and mentally exhausted, so he chose the most basic and direct cooking method—roasting!

Grilled fish may sound simple, but there are quite a few tricks to it.

As the number one must-have recipe for time travelers, grilled fish requires great attention to the control of the heat. It can even be said that the technique of grilling fish is the technique of controlling the flame.

Zhou Si strung the various Terrorfish together and spat a mouthful of dragon flame onto the corpses of these Terrorfish that had evolved heat-resistant shells. Although Hai Si's evolution speed was very fast, there was still an upper limit between individuals.

Under Zhou Si's exquisite temperature control, these dinosaurs quickly became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a fresh and delicious aroma. Although these creatures were not particularly attractive, their meat was indeed delicious.

Perhaps it's because the large group wants to infect more creatures with the flesh of these terrifying fish.

But this wasn't a big problem for Zhou Si.

After eating a few dinosaurs, the marine cells in Zhou Si's body were eliminated without causing any disturbance.

Unfortunately, even though Zhou Si had eaten more than a dozen Terror Fish, he did not acquire their terrifying evolutionary ability to become stronger by being attacked. This was probably because it was a right to survival, a privilege that could only be enjoyed after joining a large group.

Low-level creatures like the dinosaur, lacking intelligence, are inherently unsuitable for joining large groups.

Zhou Si raised his right hand, and then scales similar to those of the Terror Fish quickly grew on his right arm. This was an ability he gained by eating the Terror Fish, which allowed him to transform the cells in his body into Sea Sprout cells.

These Hai Si cells could theoretically be controlled by Zhou Si, but unfortunately, he is not yet capable of such precise manipulation at his current level.

All he can do now is make those mindless dinosaurs identify him as one of their own.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Si set off again, but this time he did not move along the coastline, but headed inland.

The situation in this fishing village raised many questions for him. Where were the people from the Tribunal when such a large number of sea creatures came ashore? Moreover, the behavior of those terror fish was not quite normal. They were clearly coming for Zhou Si, but they did not seem to intend to kill him.

More and more questions arose in Zhou Si's mind, but the answers might only be known when he found a human he could communicate with.

And don't forget, Zhou Si came to this world to find the missing monster.

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

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, Zhou Si has traveled to several villages, but the situation is much the same as that of the small fishing village.

This terrible situation made it hard for Zhou Si not to think about the worst-case scenario.

He was now standing in front of a guard post marked with the insignia of the court. Before he even went inside, Zhou Si could already smell the pungent fishy odor emanating from the post.

"Has this place fallen too...?"

Zhou Si's expression didn't change. He had gotten used to it over the past two days. Hai Si had obviously been ashore for some time, at least he hadn't found any trace of living people in the area near the coast.

However, he still tore open the door in front of him, even though there were no living people inside, he might be able to find some valuable information in the courtroom's facilities.

Upon entering the outpost, we found that it had been occupied for a long time, and the power supply system had long since failed.

Zhou Si transformed most of the cells in his body into Sea Sprite cells, and layers of dark blue scales grew on his body, which protected him from the harassment of those low-level Sea Sprites.

In just the last two days, for some reason, those sea creatures would rush towards him like madmen whenever they saw him, which caused Zhou Si a lot of trouble in his investigation. Otherwise, given his speed, he wouldn't have been in the coastal area for two days.

The outpost had long since become a paradise for the sea creatures. The ground and walls were covered with faint blue light, and Zhou Si could occasionally see two dinosaurs walk past his feet.

This outpost is not large, and there should only be a few members of the court stationed here. Their main responsibility is probably to observe the situation on the coast and then report it to their superiors.

That's why Zhou Si quickly found what he wanted.

A work log of a sentry post member.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Routine patrols are proceeding normally; there are no unusual developments along the coastline, and the coastline is brightly lit.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Several tarantulas were found in area 16; they have been cleared and the area is now brightly lit.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Routine patrols are proceeding normally, but I heard that a Netherworld Mark was discovered at post number 24, and a new batch of canned Scale Beasts has recently been delivered. The taste is quite good, at least better than before, but the lights seem a bit too bright.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Routine patrols are proceeding normally. Large-scale marine activity has been observed at nearby outposts, but it doesn't seem to have affected our area.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

[Hai Si has landed! Many outposts around here have already fallen. The Tribunal's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, but thankfully food supplies are still plentiful. Only the delicious canned scale beast meat can bring me some peace of mind.]

[Date]

Food is running low, and reinforcements from the court haven't arrived yet, but thankfully we're all... still alive?

The final record ends here. Zhou Si stared at the log in his hand in silence for a long time. There were still some dried bloodstains on the wall next to the log, probably because the log's owner chose to commit suicide after discovering the traces of his transformation into a sea monster.

Zhou Si also found the canned scaled beast that he mentioned. The can was placed on the corner of the table. An eye looked at Zhou Si through the open gap before shrinking back into the can.

The clock on the table was still faithfully performing its duty. Today was October 22, 1099 in the Terra calendar, a week had passed since Hai Si landed.

The good news is that Hai Si has only recently come ashore; the bad news is obvious: Hai Si has come ashore.

In the normal timeline, due to Isamara's loss of contact, even when repeatedly attacked by the Agorians, the advanced intelligent beings of the Sea Lineage acted very conservatively and never took such extreme actions.

Tap tap... tap tap...

The sound of footsteps behind him suddenly interrupted Zhou Si's thoughts. There were two footsteps, and judging from the rhythm and sound, they were at least humanoid creatures.

What good could come from a Tribunal outpost that has already fallen at this point in time?

Zhou Si stood still, quietly waiting for the two to arrive. A few drops of black liquid fell from his fingertips, and the Minghen on the ground was corroded and dissolved the moment it came into contact with the liquid.

Soon, two figures draped in black robes came into Zhou Si's view.

And they also had that disgusting fishy smell on them.

Chapter Three: Is Hai Si really myself?

Two men in black robes walked one after the other through the abandoned outpost. The man in front carried a lantern and walked with hurried steps, while criticizing the short man behind him.

"I told you to leave as soon as possible, but someone beat you to it, didn't they? You're such a useless piece of trash. I don't know how your family ended up with such a good-for-nothing like you, and I have to go through all this trouble to take care of you."

Extremely offensive remarks kept coming out of the man's mouth. This was a place he had gone to great lengths to find, and the obvious signs of vandalism at the entrance made him feel terrible.

"...I'm sorry, Uncle Wayne, I'm just a little scared."

Faced with Wayne's sarcastic remarks, the thin figure in the back explained somewhat timidly, the light of the lantern shining on his face, revealing a very young face under the brim of his hat.

"Humph!"

Wayne Roth merely snorted and remained silent. They were here on important business; teaching that kid a lesson was a minor matter. If they didn't find what the bishop wanted, both he and his nephew would lose their heads.

The outpost was very dark inside, and the faint glow emitted by the Netherworld was negligible. There were no telling which of the Sea Golems might be hiding in the dark corners. Wayne gripped the lantern tightly in his hand, and only the flickering light from the lantern could give him a little sense of security.

It was ironic that, despite having joined the Deep Sea Church, they still had to resort to the Inquisition to drive away these terrifying fish. A mocking expression appeared on Wayne's face. He secretly glanced at his nephew behind him, who was keeping his head down and not saying a word. A nameless anger rose in his chest again.

Forget it, let’s get down to business.

Suppressing his anger, Wayne continued to advance into the outpost.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

The lantern's light illuminated the dimly lit monitoring room, and under its illumination, the two instantly noticed the figure standing in the center of the room.

"Your Mightiness..."

Wayne was about to speak, but as if he had noticed something, he stopped abruptly.

"uncle?"

The boy behind him was puzzled, wondering why his usually short-tempered uncle had suddenly turned off the engine.

Wayne didn't answer his nephew's question. His eyes were fixed on the white neck of the figure in front of him. He had just caught a glimpse of a dark blue scale, and he didn't believe it was his imagination.

Ordinary Terrorfish or humans transformed by the Sea Spawn would more or less feel fear of the flames produced by the burning of the Tribunal's special grease, but the man in front of him not only felt nothing, but was even able to freely control the parts of himself that had been transformed by the Sea Spawn.

Even the bishop of the Deep Sea Church in their city couldn't do something like that.

Who exactly is that man in front of me? Or is he even human?

Wayne's mind raced. He was able to survive in Primia with his mentally challenged nephew thanks to his relatively quick thinking. Before the 'man' opposite could respond, he knelt down with a thud, and also pressed his mentally challenged nephew to the ground behind him.

"Your Excellency, we were unaware of your presence. We are extremely sorry!!!"

......

Just as Zhou Si was about to kill the two suspected members of the Deep Sea Cult, he was somewhat bewildered by his actions.

Huh? A divine messenger? Me?

Looking at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, his body still trembling, Zhou Si subconsciously looked at his own hands, and then noticed the fish scales that had not completely disappeared. His expression then became even more tense.

Did they mistake me for a high-class HIGH?

Zhou Si gradually understood the current situation. Seeing the two trembling, they didn't seem like those crazy people who were obsessed with hugging large groups of people, and there were no obvious signs of mutation on their bodies.

Zhou Si then took a couple of steps forward and realized where the fishy smell on them was coming from.

The inside of their robes was smeared with the blood of the terror fish. It was with this, along with the court lanterns they carried, that they were able to reach this outpost safely from the distant city.

"Explain your purpose."

Since these two weren't the lunatics, Zhou Si wasn't in a hurry to kill them and decided to try to extract some information from them first.

“We come from the city of Plemia. We were ordered by the bishop to come here to check the situation at the outpost and take the observation records back with us.”

"The bishop also instructed us that if we saw a living judge, we should report to him immediately."

Seeing that the humanoid Hai Si didn't seem to intend to kill them, Wayne immediately recounted their situation in great detail, as if afraid of missing any details.

Where is Primia?

"It's just to the northwest, about 20 miles from here, not far at all."

More than 20 miles? It wasn't cleansed by Hai Si? Or is it because of the Deep Sea Church? Wayne's words made Zhou Si fall into thought again, and then he asked another question.

"Which bishop sent you?"

"Sir, it is Bishop Tulas."

Zhou Si had no recollection of this name, and the city of Primia was clearly not mentioned in the original work.

Zhou Si, who originally planned to go directly inland, suddenly changed his mind. He decided to go to the city of Premia first, as his intuition told him that he might find the clues he was looking for in this city.

Zhou Si casually tossed the observation logbook from the outpost in front of the middle-aged man and began to speak.

"Take me to Primia."

Zhou Si's actions puzzled Wayne. He had a lot of questions he wanted answered, but he clearly didn't dare to ask Zhou Si.

"Do you have any objection?"

"No, no!" Wayne shook his head rapidly, but then his expression became hesitant, and finally he asked somewhat tentatively.

"My lord, is there any important business you have in Primia?"

Although Wayne is related to the Deep Sea Church, he is clearly not a core member. At least, his understanding of the Sea Si is only superficial, otherwise he would never have asked such a question.

Zhou Sichao smiled but didn't say anything, but his mouthful of dragon teeth and his sharp vertical pupils made Wayne swallow all his questions and obediently act as a guide.

At this point, he was completely convinced that Zhou Si was a high-level naval officer!

"Just call me Mr. Zhou from now on. Don't reveal my identity to anyone, including your bishop, understand?"

Wayne nodded repeatedly. Although he didn't know what this guy was after, at least at this moment he didn't dare to say a word against it.

Besides, the city of Premia is already beyond saving, so what difference does it make whether there's one more or one less?

Chapter Four: Welcome to Primia

The three of them walked silently toward the northwest. Uncle Wayne and his nephew had no means of transportation; they had come this far on foot.

Zhou Si silently followed behind the uncle and nephew, observing them quietly.

Both of them were somewhat weak, but the little boy was slightly healthier. They were both Liboli, and judging from the style of their ear feathers, they were most likely related.

Let me eat first: [Melo, what do you think?]
