All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Not far away, Zhou Si used a chainsaw to cut the surging sea monsters into pieces, while looking at the gloomy sky, the dark sand, and the sea monster wreckage all around her. For a moment, she didn't know how to complain.

The doctor stood amidst these things with a silly grin on his face, creating an indescribable sense of dread and eeriness.

"Hey hey hey..."

Watching Zhou Si easily clear out the large group of sea creatures, the doctor wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. Even though Zhou Si had refused her research invitation, his strength was still pleasing to her.

It combines damage, control, damage mitigation, and area-of-effect attacks, while boasting explosive base stats and extremely high mobility.

He even has group healing techniques! (Zhou Si: Wide-area coverage, kid! Who can still say I'm not Milk Flute?)

If you were to ask the Doctor for his opinion on the operator Zhou Si, there would only be one simple sentence.

Super big cup!

With such a well-rounded operator, the Doctor felt both brief happiness and immense heartache.

Why is Zhou Si only a temporary operator?! The Doctor's expression turned incredibly gloomy at the thought of possibly living without hunters in the future.

"Doctor, the sea creatures here have been cleared."

Zhou Si jogged over. After this period of training, he had become increasingly adept at dealing with these low-quality monster piles. He didn't even break a sweat after clearing them.

However, there was also bad news: Zhou Si discovered that the poison bottles that Mebius had prepared were beginning to weaken in their effect on the Sealings. Clearly, these Sealings had begun to evolve organs that could resist the toxin.

However, it doesn't matter. Dr. Mebius had obviously anticipated this and had prepared five versions of the poison bottle in advance, each with a completely different method of damage.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The doctor emerged from behind the reef, curiously examining the shield and axe behind him. The peculiar energy activation method and transformation mechanism were technologies he had never seen before.

She was also somewhat concerned about the materials used in that weapon, but she decided to look into that later.

"According to that deep-sea bishop, most of the deep-sea church members have gone ashore to search for Skadi's whereabouts, and only a small number of people are still in the sea."

"We can't do much about the deep-sea cultists in the ocean, but what about those on land..."

Zhou Si's shield and axe were already itching for a fight.

"Our main objective is to find Bishop Cicero, but before that, we might as well meet up with some of our companions."

The bishop named Cicero was the one who transformed Shuiyue into Haisi. Although Shuiyue described the bishop as being different from the normal Deep Sea believers, it is certain that his status in the Deep Sea Church was not low.

The Doctor and her colleagues learned about the Church's plot against Skadi and its earth-shattering scheme from the manuscripts left by Bishop Cicero.

Therefore, finding Bishop Cicero would be of great help to their subsequent actions, as he might know how the Deep Sea Cult accessed the source's lifeline.

How are you doing right now?

The doctor looked at Zhou Si and asked.

"There are no problems for now."

Zhou Si shook his head. In preparation for controlling a large group, Zhou Si is now gradually increasing the degree of his body's sea-like transformation. Currently, 50% is a clear dividing line.

When his octopus transformation level exceeded 50%, he could feel the pheromones emitted by those octopuses towards him, all of them hoping that Zhou Si, this powerful and strange fellow comrade, would return to the group.

The chattering 'voices' of the sea creatures annoyed him a little, but if that was all, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

The good news is that he also felt the power of 'growth' within his own body. It seems that the doctor's deduction was correct. As long as he enters the state of 100% Sealing, he will become the new god of the Sealing race.

But the bad news is that it's not that simple. There's a big difference between ordinary sea creature transformation and sea god sea creature transformation. When his sea creature transformation level exceeded 70%, those sea creatures started sending him messages more and more frantically, trying to pull him into the group.

To prevent any unexpected events on the road, Zhou Si has temporarily maintained his Sea Spirit transformation at a relatively safe level of 60%, which allows him to adapt to the calls of those Sea Spirits without causing too much trouble.

"Is this...Saltwind City?"

The familiar place name surprised Zhou Si, but judging from the city's geographical location, Saltwind City should be the first place Hai Si landed. Why would Bishop Cicero go to Saltwind City?

"I'm not sure about that, but the location of that deep-sea hunter is indeed in the direction of Saltwind City."

The doctor trembled as he took out his terminal from his pocket and showed it to Zhou Si. There was indeed a red dot moving in Saltwind City on it.

"Then let's move on, Doctor. We can't waste any more time."

The doctor was about to nod, but her aching body told her, "If you continue with this strenuous exercise, I'll die."

I hate this frail body.

The doctor thought with some resentment, then looked at Zhou Si with a pitiful expression and spread his hands.

"I really can't walk anymore."

Looking at the weak and helpless doctor in front of him, Zhou Si chose to hoist her onto his shoulder like a sack, amidst her astonished gaze.

"Well..."

Feeling the hardness in his abdomen, the doctor gripped Zhou Si's clothes tightly with great unease.

"Doctor, just bear with it, we'll be there soon."

This posture was obviously not comfortable, but it was better than walking on his own. The doctor gave Zhou Si a thumbs-up with difficulty.

"Ahhhhhhh-"

The next moment, Zhou Si rushed out towards the target at an extremely fast speed, leaving only the doctor's continuous screams echoing on the shore.

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

After the two left, only Hai Si's corpse remained on the beach, along with the tall figure that had come looking for the sound.

The sea breeze grew stronger, the waves became more turbulent, and a tall, dark-skinned knight riding a steed appeared on a wrecked beach.

"It tastes like the sea..."

Indistinct syllables emanated from beneath the rusty helmet, and a pair of blood-red eyes peered through the helmet's gaps in the direction Zhou Si and the doctor had left.

Like a ghost, the steed reared up, emitting a silent neigh, and the rider raised his lance high, charging once more towards the sea.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Salt Wind

Saltwind City is a seaside city that took place during the Black Tide in the original story. Due to the Great Tranquility, the city was not fully built, so it does not have the ability to move to another city.

Fortunately, due to its proximity to the sea, natural disasters are rare here. However, also because it was built by the sea, it was the first place to suffer from the corruption of the Deep Sea Church.

Dr. Zhou Si walked through Saltwind City. The buildings on both sides seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and the streets were full of desolate traces. There was no one alive in Saltwind City at this time.

To Zhou Si's surprise, there were no living people here, nor were there any Hai Si. You should know that at this time, all kinds of strange and terrifying fish can be seen everywhere along the coastline, and Hai Si may be hiding in every crevice of the city.

But Saltwind City was eerily clean.

"It seems there's no one here either, Doctor. Are you sure the Deepsea Hunter's location is in Saltwind City?"

The doctor didn't reply, but simply tossed the terminal in his hand to Zhou Si. The location of the signal on it was indeed in Saltwind City, but in a slightly more central location.

Seeing this, the two continued walking towards the city center. When they were almost close to the location of the signal, Zhou Si noticed a church in the distance whose style was clearly out of place with its surroundings.

This church, which once belonged to the Lateran Church, has clearly changed owners. Compared to the surrounding dilapidated houses that have been neglected, this church shows more signs of life, indicating that people still live in this church in this dead city.

Zhou Si listened intently and could hear a steady breathing sound coming from inside the church. He gestured for the doctor to be quiet and then slowly approached the church.

The church doors were open, or rather, the old doors were no longer easy to close. Zhou Si slipped inside silently.

Just as Zhou Si had heard, inside the church, an old man was sitting in the first row of seats, flipping through an old notebook.

The old man didn't notice the uninvited guest behind him. Zhou Si slowly approached him. He could smell the strong seafood scent on the old man, even stronger than that of the deep-sea bishop they had captured in the deep-sea laboratory.

"It seems you must be Bishop Cicero."

Zhou Si's voice interrupted Cicero's thoughts. He came to his senses and saw a young man carrying a giant weapon watching him from behind.

"I never expected that so many hunters would come looking for me at this time of year."

Bishop Cicero chuckled. A group of deep-sea hunters had already approached him a couple of days ago, but he hadn't expected that other hunters were looking for him as well. It seemed that he really couldn't record important information in his notebook anymore.

If there is a future.

"Hunter, if you want to take my life, then do it."

Cicero was quite frank. From the moment he agreed to the church's plan, he knew that this day would come sooner or later. Even though his intentions were not as extreme as those of his colleagues who worshipped Hai Si as a god, he did play a role in promoting it without any ulterior motives.

"Your sins will be settled, but not now, and not by me."

"Tell me what you are doing to the lifeline of the Origin, and then tell me the location of those people."

Zhou Si had no intention of making a move. The bishop in front of him was already quite human compared to the other children. He had saved Shuiyue and also cultivated her normal values.

“Sir hunter, if I have no fear of death and no attachment to life, how will you obtain information about my comrades from me?”

Bishop Cicero raised this question, but before Zhou Si could respond, he took a letter out of his pocket.

"This contains what you want. If it's alright, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Zhou Si took the envelope Cicero handed him. He was now a little confused about whose side the old man in front of him was.

“Those guys have gone astray, forgetting that they are ultimately human beings. They cannot become Haisi, nor should they become Haisi.”

The old man seemed to sense Zhou Si's confusion.

“A while ago, a child was taken away by those guys when she went out. If it’s convenient for you, please help her.”

"There's a picture of her in the envelope. Haimo is a good girl. If possible, take her away from Iberia."

"I agreed."

Zhou Si nodded. Saving someone was a simple matter; he already had one burden, so what difference would a second one make?

"Your companions set off yesterday evening; perhaps you will have a chance to reunite."

Just as Zhou Si stepped out the door, he heard Bishop Cicero behind him add another sentence. The companions he was referring to must be those deep-sea hunters.

As soon as Zhou Si stepped out of the church, she saw the doctor squatting to the side like a street urchin. When the doctor saw that Zhou Si had come out safely, he immediately ran over to her.

"How about it?"

"He was very cooperative, and seemed quite dissatisfied with the Deep Sea Church's current plans."

Upon opening the envelope, the first thing that caught their eye was a photograph of a young girl with long black hair named Agor. Although she was smiling in the photo, both Zhou Si and the doctor could see the sadness in her eyes.

Next came a very detailed handwritten record, the ink of which was not completely dry, indicating that the old man had just finished writing it.

But the contents of this record made Dr. Zhou Sihe frown deeply.

The Deep Sea Church is growing somewhat impatient with the inability to find Isamara and the Crimson Comet. Regardless of their guidance, the current horde has no intention of engaging in a full-scale conflict with the land.

The main objective of the large group remains the search for Isamara.

Therefore, they turned their attention back to the other three newborns. The Unsinkable Iceberg has not made any moves and its location is unknown, while the bishop that Zhou Si killed was sent out to find the Spreading Branches.

However, since one of them was unconscious and the other's condition was unknown, they shifted their focus back to the sea god, who had already been driven mad by them—[the lifeline of the origin].

Using techniques unearthed from underwater ruins, the Deep Sea Church successfully pieced together a body capable of bearing the authority of the sea god. They had tampered with that body, and as long as they could gather the remaining consciousness, they would have the opportunity to control this mad sea god.

"That's a crazy plan."

The doctor scoffed coldly, saying that these deep-sea cultists had long lost their sense of awe. They worshipped the sea creatures as gods while using these 'gods' to accomplish their own purposes.

"Doctor, we need to speed things up."

Seeing Zhou Si approaching her, the doctor subconsciously took a step back. Her back was already aching from Zhou Si's actions, and she really couldn't take it again.

"Wait, wait! At least try a different position!"

A minute later, the doctor was held in Zhou Si's arms, but there was no shyness on her face, only a deathly pale one.

Looking at the ground hundreds of meters away from them, the doctor hugged Zhou Si's neck tightly.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Stop! Please stop fighting!

Zhou Si and the doctor landed a few kilometers away from the Deep Sea Church laboratory.

The moment the doctor was put down by Zhou Si, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down in front of Zhou Si. Fortunately, Zhou Si caught her quickly and prevented her from doing something so embarrassing.

Although Zhou Si didn't fly at full speed due to her physical condition, for the doctor, relying entirely on Zhou Si's hands for rapid flight was still too thrilling. It was already quite good that she didn't throw up all over Zhou Si.

Standing on a small hill, Zhou Si gazed at an abandoned village in the distance. If Cicero's information was correct, the Deep Sea Church's laboratory was built underground in that village, leading directly to the ocean.

The reason for landing here is, of course, to avoid alerting the enemy.

However, the Deep Sea Church clearly valued this place much more than Zhou Si had imagined. Even though they were several kilometers apart, the surrounding sea creatures began to gather towards them the moment Zhou Si landed.

After draping the invisibility cloak over the Doctor and instructing her to stay in a safe place, Zhou Si re-equipped herself with the shield and sword behind her.

The number of sea creatures that gathered was not large, and it wouldn't take much time to clear them out.
