All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Alene wanted to tell Amiya that she was alright, but when she waved, she accidentally pulled at her wound, and the little bird's face instantly scrunched up.

"Let her come along."

Kal'tsit sat in the passenger seat. She did not refuse Eline's request to come along. All three people in the car had Originium Arts with healing effects, so Eline would not have any problems.

Compared to Lin Guang, Elini spent more time with Zhou Si, which may play a role in their future interactions.

Lin Guang was a very good driver, and under her guidance, the group quickly arrived at the site where the [Crimson Comet] had crashed. The figure of the silver-white dragon gradually appeared before them.

A silver dragon stood on the earth, surrounded by dragon energy particles that resembled a layer of crimson gauze. Seven crystalline horns pierced the sky from its crown, and its azure vertical pupils surveyed its surroundings before finally locking onto the car approaching it.

The people in the car felt immense pressure the moment they met the dragon's eyes. It was the majesty that came with being an ecological overlord, and even Kal'tsit had never seen a creature similar to it.

Even though the Heavenly Comet Dragon had given them such a great shock, what was even more noticeable were the man and woman standing in front of it.

The silver-haired girl in the red dress was lying in Zhou Si's arms, her limbs swaying, and Zhou Si was frantically stuffing various kinds of medicine into her mouth.

"Uh huh..."

Zhou Si stuffed another ancient secret medicine into Skadi's mouth. His hands trembled slightly. Was Skadi going to die? He hadn't expected the Deep Sea Hunter's body to be so fragile.

Huihui built her nest on a high peak far from Iberia. The simplest and most convenient way to get back to Rhodes Island quickly is for Huihui to take them back.

Skadi, as a Deepsea Hunter who fights against the Sea Kings in the deep sea, has extremely high physical strength and should be able to withstand pressure far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even so, Zhou Si still asked Huihui to slow down, and at the same time, he provided Skadi with a lot of items to increase her defense and stamina.

She hadn't said a word while flying in the sky, but unexpectedly, Skadi plummeted down after Huihui landed, giving Zhou Si a big fright.

If she weren't still struggling, Zhou Si would have thought she was really going to die.

"Mr. Hunter, if you don't let go of her soon, Skadi might choke to death."

Kal'tsit came over with a helpless expression and pointed to Skadi's bulging mouth.

Zhou Si then realized what was happening and immediately let go.

"Cough cough..."

Skadi immediately spat out what was in her mouth and then coughed violently.

After Skadi spat out everything that was stuck in her throat, she turned around and stared at Zhou Si with a resentful look on her face. Kal'tsit, who was standing next to her, was a little surprised. It was the first time she had ever seen Skadi with such an expression.

Skadi had almost thought she was going to meet her parents in heaven. She hadn't died at the hands of Hai Si and the Deep Sea Church, but she had almost been killed by Hai Si, one of her own people.

"Uh, I thought something was wrong when you suddenly fell..."

Zhou Si felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and awkwardly looked away.

"I'm just... a little dizzy from dragonfly."

Skadi stared at Zhou Si and spoke slowly and deliberately, after all, Huihui's flying style was a bit too wild.

"Why didn't you say so sooner when you were awake? Uh, I mean, why didn't you resist?"

Upon hearing this, Skadi's eyes became even more resentful. She continued to resist, trying to break free from Zhou Si's grasp.

Who knew Zhou Si's numbers were so outrageous? Her desperate struggles were thwarted by him pressing her down with one hand.

"sorry."

Zhou Si decisively lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"fine."

Skadi was just a little resentful, but she didn't mean to blame Zhou Si. After all, she had voted in favor of taking Huihui back to Rhodes Island.

"Gentlemen, why don't you come back to Rhodes Island with us first and then we'll talk?"

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Kal'tsit interjected at just the right moment. She still had a lot of work to finish. Although Zhou Si's matter was very important, it wasn't something she could easily shirk.

"no problem."

Zhou Si nodded, and Skadi simply followed quietly beside him without saying much.

"And what about this person..."

Kal'tsit hesitated for a moment before glancing at the Sky Comet beside her. Its destructive power was simply too great. Even though Huihui hadn't shown any aggression, she didn't really want the Sky Comet to stay near her ship.

"Huihui, find a place to rest nearby. I'll take you home once I find a solution."

Zhou Si leaned close to the side of the Sky Comet's head and whispered something to it. The Sky Comet roared in response, retreated a distance, and then its dragon energy engine reignited, turning into a red light and disappearing into the air.

"What an incredible creature."

Amiya covered her mouth in amazement when she saw Huihui take off. Zhou Si smiled kindly at her. The Amiya in front of him was a little bigger than he remembered, but she was still just as cute.

"Ah, Mr. Hunter, thank you so much for saving the survivors of Primia. On behalf of Rhodes Island and Iberia, I express my respect to you."

Rhodes Island warmly welcomes you.

Seeing Amiya's serious expression, Zhou Si nodded with some relief, after all, he had watched the child grow up.

Then he saw Eleanor behind Amiya and the others, leaning against the car door and looking at them.

Although the bandages made her look somewhat comical, Zhou Si breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the little bird was alright.

"I'm glad to see you're safe and sound, Miss Judge."

"...the same as you."

Looking at Zhou Si's smile, Elena subconsciously turned her head away for some reason, blushed, and whispered a reply.

Doesn't your nonchalant attitude make my previous sadness seem silly?

Thinking this, the little bird suddenly found the man's face in front of her somewhat repulsive.

Chapter Twenty-Three Zhou Si: Hey~ I have a plan~

As the elevator rose and fell, Zhou Si, who was on the return bus, looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, her eyes filled with curiosity.

After all, Arknights is a 2D tower defense game, and the depiction of Rhodes Island's interior is limited to the illustrations that appear in the story. When Zhou Si actually stood in this land-based ship full of futuristic technology, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"If Mr. Zhou Si is curious, I can take you on a tour of Rhodes Island when I have time later."

Amiya said very considerately, but unfortunately, her free time is also very precious to her now.

Looking at her slightly haggard face, Zhou Si saw that even under such great pressure, this kind-hearted little rabbit, who had just come of age, was still trying her best to cheer up and stand by everyone's side as a flag bearer.

"You should take a good rest if you have time. As for sightseeing, I can have Elena take me."

Feeling a pang of sympathy for the child, Zhou Si subconsciously patted the rabbit's head. Amiya felt the touch on her head and did not resist at all.

She sensed Zhou Si's emotions at that moment: concern, relief, and trust...

For some reason, this hunter, whom she was meeting for the first time, seemed very familiar with her and Rhodes Island, and was full of goodwill towards them.

Amiya felt a little guilty for subconsciously using her power on him, but she couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards this strange hunter.

At least Amiya was certain that this man would not do anything detrimental to Rhodes Island.

Kal'tsit looked thoughtfully at Amiya and Zhou Si, feeling even more confident.

The group passed by countless curious people and went straight to Kal'tsit's office.

"Amiya, Alini, you should go back and rest first. Mr. Zhou Si and I have some things to discuss."

Amiya obediently nodded, and Alini had no objections. Anyway, Zhou Si had already come to the island, and there would be plenty of opportunities to meet later.

"Elena".

"Ok?"

Zhou Si called out to Alini and then slipped a secret medicine into her hand.

"This is a secret medicine from our area. It will help with your injury. Remember to take it."

"...Thanks."

Elena did not refuse, thanked her, and took the medicine and left.

So only Kal'tsit, Zhou Si, and Skadi remained in the room.

“Mr. Zhou Si, before we begin our formal conversation, I need to clarify your stance. What position do you hold in this war, or rather, what is your true purpose in coming here?”

"This will determine whether our conversation needs to continue."

Kal'tsit's expression remained as cold as ever. Her seemingly assertive words were actually an attempt to have an open and honest conversation with Zhou Si. She trusted Amiya's choice, so she would not hold back in this discussion about the war against the Sea Kings.

The premise is that Zhou Si is indeed on their side.

Kal'tsit glanced at Skadi beside her, after all, this newborn host was now standing there unharmed.

"I come from another world. My purpose here is to take Huihui, the one you call the 'Red Comet,' back with me..."

Although Zhou Si was surprised that the prison cat had stopped telling riddles, he was clearly happy to have such a conversation. His goals did not conflict with Rhodes Island's, and he even needed Rhodes Island's help for Huihui's condition.

Therefore, Zhou Si had no intention of hiding anything.

From the moment he decided to bring Skadi back to Rhodes Island, he was prepared for a showdown.

As it turned out, his choice was correct. Kal'tsit did not react excessively to his identity as a visitor from another world; she only showed a hint of understanding in her eyes.

This would indeed explain many things clearly.

“I understand. I can guarantee that Rhodes Island and the Iberian Tribunal will not interfere with your affairs with Sky Comet, but only if you do not do anything to harm this land.”

"It's natural."

Kal'tsit nodded, signaling Zhou Si to continue.

Then Zhou Si told Kal'tsit about Skadi and Huihui, and this matter was obviously far beyond Kal'tsit's expectations. She couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.

"Our understanding of Hyde is still superficial. How Isamara entered the consciousness of the Sky Comet and Skadi is far beyond our current knowledge. Without resorting to extreme measures..."

Kal'tsit paused for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Si.

"Perhaps we'll have to wait for the doctor to return and bring back enough records about Haisi. At least for now, we have no way to separate their consciousness."

"When will the doctor be back?"

"...Unclear."

Kal'tsit shook her head honestly. She really didn't know the Doctor's specific whereabouts. She only knew that he and the Sea Child named Mizuki had gone to the former civilization's laboratory in the deep sea, where the secret of the Sea Child's birth was located.

That's true, but that doesn't mean Kal'tsit is going to do nothing.

Although Kal'tsit is unlikely to be able to separate Isamara's consciousness at present, she may be able to find some clues about the Sea Child from the connection between them.

Zhou Si was inclined to agree, but he needed to discuss it with Huihui first.

"You can stay on Rhodes Island for now. I'll have the logistics department prepare accommodation for you."

"If you need any help, you can come to me. After all, I'm also quite annoyed by those deep-sea church members."

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhou Si's smile. Since she couldn't go back anytime soon, she might as well do something meaningful during this time.

"Thank you."

Kal'tsit nodded. Rhodes Island is currently severely understaffed, so she certainly wouldn't turn away a high-end combatant like Zhou Si.

Therefore, Zhou Si reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Kal'tsit, but Zhou Si's immediate priority was to discuss the joint research with Huihui.

As Zhou Si's signal flare soared into the sky, the [Crimson Meteor] once again descended upon the plain, causing the elevation of the area where Huihui had previously created a crater to drop even further.

After giving up half of the ingredients stored in the Hunter's Book, Huihui finally reluctantly agreed to let the humans experiment on her.

Looking at Huihui, who was munching on his treasured food, Zhou Si suddenly had a rather wicked idea.

Is it possible for me to exchange the leftover food for the materials on its body? After all, losing a few scales won't mean losing a piece of meat, right?

Chapter Twenty-Four: When you're traveling, you give yourself your own identity.

"Name?"

"Zhou Si".

"gender?"

"This should be easy to see, Ms. Zilan, right?"

Zhou Si sat somewhat nervously in the chair in the HR department office. In his previous life, he died of anger before graduating. This was his first real job interview, so it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous.

Opposite Zhou Si was a very stylish and mature woman who was said to have once been an editor for a fashion magazine in Columbia. But judging from her current professional demeanor, one could imagine what kind of place the Rhode Island HR department was.
