All my hunting commissions come from another world?

......

Let's forget about these.

Zhou Si sighed. Even though those people had turned into beasts, he still couldn't accept drinking human blood.

Chapter Six: The door can't be opened from this side...?

Soon, Zhou Si cleaned the blood off her body, changed into a new Hope suit, and walked out of the restroom.

Inside, Viola had prepared a 'sumptuous' meal. Apparently, Carol had told her about meeting Zhou Si, and Viola had brought out all the remaining ingredients in the house to express her gratitude.

The meal, though described as lavish, consisted mostly of fish, beans, and potatoes. While the Gascoigne family was clearly wealthier than the average family, they couldn't afford to eat meat at every meal.

It was already quite an achievement that they were able to bring out so much food to treat Zhou Si.

Lao Zhou didn't stand on ceremony with them anymore. Under Carol's surprised gaze, he quickly finished all the food on the table, and his body finally regained some strength.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, madam."

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Zhou Si."

While marveling at the situation, Mrs. Viola also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Mr. Zhou Si seemed to be a genuinely kind person.

"What are your plans after this? Mrs. Viola, as you can see, the effect of the incense is gradually weakening. It may not be safe for you to stay in the house."

"this..."

Viola frowned slightly. What Mr. Zhou Si said made sense. If the incense in the house was ineffective, a single door lock would not be enough to keep out the monsters outside.

She couldn't possibly gamble her and Carol's lives on the house's air freshener not going out of business.

But her husband was still out hunting, and she didn't know where else she could be safe except at home.

Viola was caught in a dilemma and instinctively hugged Carol.

“If you are willing to trust me, I can take you to the Otton Chapel, where there is enough incense to last until tomorrow.”

Zhou Si offered them an option: at least until the Blood Moon arrived, the Oton Chapel would be relatively safe.

"Is it that little church over in Church Town?"

Zhou Si nodded.

“I know that old gentleman. Although he looks a bit frightening, he is a very kind person.”

Viola recalled the old man with the deformed body; the church belonged to the city's former church, but after the Healing Church arrived, it was almost completely abandoned.

Only the old man stood there all alone, and none of the residents even knew his name.

Viola did indeed remember that there was a lot of incense in that church.

"Mr. Zhou Si, may I ask you to send Carol over there?"

After a brief moment of thought, Viola spoke with a determined look in her eyes.

"Mom, no!"

Carol hugged her long black dress tightly; she didn't want to wait alone any longer.

"Here's what we'll do: you and Carol go to the Otton Chapel together. I'll be going out to find my companions later, and I'll keep an eye out for Father Gascoigne's trail along the way."

Zhou Si sighed softly. He knew what Lady Viola was thinking, but this kind of behavior, which was clearly going to get her killed, was not advisable!

"Mother..."

Carol tugged at her mother's sleeve, and in the end, Mrs. Viola nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zhou Si."

After making the decision, Viola quickly packed her things with Carol and then left a note on the table for Father Gascoigne.

Then he followed Zhou Si out the door and headed towards the Euton Chapel.

The journey was very smooth, and he encountered mostly scattered beast-like residents, which were not even a warm-up for Zhou Si. In order not to get his clothes dirty again, he deliberately held back his strength.

Just as they were about to reach the church town, they were stopped by an iron gate.

"Mr. Zhou Si, this place probably requires a key to open."

Mrs. Viola looked at the locked door with a somewhat hesitant expression.

But Zhou Si simply waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

He then walked to the door, placed his palms on the two doors, and gently applied pressure.

squeak - ah -

With a sickening metallic twisting sound, the door began to twist and deform, proving that steel was nothing compared to Zhou Si's super strength.

Then, to the horrified eyes of Viola and her daughter, the iron gate in front of them collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Si dusted off his hands. Anyway, the facilities in Ya Nan had been almost completely destroyed by those beast-like patients, so one more door wouldn't make a difference.

"Let's go."

Zhou Si casually stepped over the twisted iron gate, and Viola followed with Carol, completely unaware of the gleam in her daughter's eyes.

The three of them soon arrived at the door of the Euton Chapel. Zhou Si knocked on the door, and a slightly old voice came from inside.

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. The door isn't locked, so please come in."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Si pushed open the door and went inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw the old man crawling on the ground not far away.

He was wearing a tattered red coat, revealing two thin, bony arms. The red coat covered his twisted and deformed body, but even so, he still tried his best to extend kindness to Zhou Si and the others.

"Why are you still running around outside on the night of the hunt? Those monsters are extremely dangerous. You should stay in the church tonight. There's enough incense here, and those wild beasts won't dare to come near."

"Thank you so much for taking me in."

Viola and Carol bowed to the old man in red, who simply cupped his hands in return, clearly not standing up to return the greeting.

"Big brother, you can take this."

Knowing that Zhou Si was about to leave, Carol handed him a small music box.

“My father’s mental state isn’t very good, but as long as he hears the sound of this music box, he will definitely remember it.”

Zhou Si looked at the sensible little girl in front of her, took the music box, and then touched her golden hair.

"Don't worry, just like I said before, I will bring your father back too."

"Yes, big brother, I believe you."

Carol's eyes shone; if it weren't for her brother Zhou Si, she might never have seen her mother again.

"Young man, are you still going out? It's too dangerous!"

The old man in red heard Zhou Si and Carol's conversation and sounded surprised and worried.

"I have important things to do, and I'm a hunter; those monsters can't hurt me."

"I'm leaving Carol and the others in your care."

After saying this, Zhou Si left the Euton Chapel. The old man in red watched him leave and then took a strange sniff.

"Why don't the hunters have their scent on them?"

Chapter Seven: Azure Star: *Hunter's Swearing*

After settling Viola and her daughter in, Zhou Si retraced her steps and ran back to the Yanan Center.

It wasn't just about finding the Azure Star and Father Gascoigne; it was also about confirming something very important.

He woke up next to Carol's house before her mother was killed, which means Zhou Si woke up much earlier than the hunter in the original game.

So the question is, what is the current situation of this hunter who was supposed to be the protagonist, or rather, does that hunter still exist?

Zhou thought that this point needed to be confirmed first, as it would greatly help their subsequent actions.

"This should be the Youssefka Clinic."

Zhou Si looked at the open door in front of her, with the name Youssefka on the sign next to it.

The wooden floorboards creaked, and a few oil lamps were lit inside, barely illuminating the room.

As soon as Zhou Si stepped into the Youssefka clinic, he smelled the stench of rotting corpses, along with a very strong stench of blood.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it smelled like blood. Perhaps because she was so hungry, Zhou Si could vaguely smell a tempting sweetness in the blood, as if it were enticing her to drink it.

Zhou Si followed the scent inside and soon found the source of the fragrance.

It was a werewolf that had been cut in two at the waist, its internal organs and blood flowing out from the cut, and the stench was probably coming from the corpses of the patients around it.

Just from the scene, Zhou Si could easily deduce what had happened here.

One of the patients' bestiality suddenly worsened, breaking free of its restraints and killing all of its fellow patients before being cut in two by a hunter who emerged from within.

This is clearly the scene at the beginning of Bloodborne, and it seems that the hunter has already obtained the weapon.

Furthermore, judging from the wounds on the werewolf's corpse, the weapon was clearly not a cane or an axe, but the smooth cross-section also indicated it wasn't a meat saw.

Zhou Si squatted down beside the werewolf, analyzing the possible scenarios while looking at the corpse in front of him that kept attracting and tempting him.

Eat something...you seem really hungry...

How can you accomplish what you want to do without energy...?

Eat up... nobody here will know...

You didn't eat it for personal gain, did you...?

Zhou Si stood up expressionlessly, adjusted her breathing, and ignored the muttering in her mind.

Ever since he woke up in this world, he felt something was wrong. His body was weak, and he kept muttering in his head. He was also expending much more energy than usual. He didn't believe that no one was sabotaging him.

Sorry, but what Zhou likes to do most is say no to those high and mighty guys!

If one must come into contact with the flesh and blood of those in power in this world, then Zhou Si's first meal would definitely be the one hiding behind the curtain.

Stepping over the werewolf's corpse, Zhou Si ventured deeper into the Yousefka clinic, sensing he was likely to find important clues there.

Going up the stairs, the doors to the second-floor wards were also open.

Compared to the large ward on the first floor, this ward is probably prepared for those critically ill patients. In addition to the number of beds being reduced to two, the medical equipment next to it is also much more sophisticated and complex than that downstairs.

Zhou Si walked to the bedside and smelled a familiar scent from one of the beds.

This is the scent that comes from mixing materials during years of hunting; even caged birds have it.

Looking at the table next to her, Zhou Si found a note.

And the content on it was written in the language of the Hunter x Hunter world.

Seeking Pale Blood to Surpass the Hunt

The writer crossed out that sentence, but when Zhou Si turned the note over, he found another sentence on the back.

【■■You hunter swearing* just wait and see!!!】

Compared to the neat handwriting in the previous sentence, the twisted lines and forceful strokes in the following sentence reveal the writer's emotions.

But most importantly, Zhou Si had just met this person not long ago.

The note that Azure Star had left for him flashed through Zhou Si's mind; the handwriting on it was exactly the same as the one on this page.

It seems the hunter's identity is now clear.

Zhou Si stuffed the note into his pocket. Learning about the situation on Azure Star calmed his previously anxious mind. With Azure Star's strength, he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

The sky outside was gradually darkening, and the second floor of the clinic was unlit, but Zhou Si's eyesight, comparable to that of a dragon, was enough to make him ignore the darkness.

There is another door at the back of the second-floor ward. If all goes well, you can find Dr. Yousefka by opening the door and walking further in.

That poor, kind doctor.

But when Zhou Si walked to the back, she found that the lock on that door was broken.

It looks like it was destroyed by brute force; the lock cylinder was smashed through with a single punch, very cleanly and efficiently.

"Hiss—so that's how it happened?"

Zhou Si was greatly shocked; it was clearly the work of Azure Star.
