All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"In that case, let's do it the way the little bird does."

The Grand Master slammed his fist on the table and finalized the decision. Then he turned his gaze to Elena.

"You have a lot of talent, little bird."

The Grand Master was generous with his praise, and the sudden compliments left Elena somewhat bewildered, but that bewilderment quickly turned into shock and confusion.

"Since you're so talented, the command duties here will be handed over to you from now on."

"what?"

A question mark slowly floated out from above the bird's head.

"how about you?"

"Of course we should go and gather more clues. Just tell Azure Star and the others when they get back."

The commander's hearty laughter echoed in the room once again; he was never the type to stay obediently in the command post.

There aren't many places here that require command, and Elena is perfectly capable of taking on the role, so the Grand Master wants to go out and scout things out first.

Just as the little bird was about to speak again, a sound of breaking glass rang out, followed by the sound of several heavy objects hitting the ground.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tonight, Zhou Si Joins the Hunt... (18/20)

Bang, bang, bang.

Several heavy thuds drew the attention of everyone in the conference room, because the sounds came from above their heads.

The commander took the lead and went up to the door of the room from which the noise was coming.

There was a click.

Worried that it might frighten the creatures inside, the Grand Master gently opened the door, slowly revealing the interior to everyone.

After the door opened, several figures were seen lying haphazardly in the room. Judging from their equipment and hair color, they should be Zhou Si and his group who had just emerged from the dream.

An unfamiliar man lay sprawled to one side, while the lone bird and the blue star were piled on top of each other. As for Zhou Si...

He was at the very bottom.

But some people shouldn't be too happy yet, because both of them are wearing heavy protective gear.

Moreover, as mentioned before, the little mute was wearing the Ice Curse Armor, and the Grand Commander had even seen the spikes on the Azure Star Armguards piercing into Zhou Si's flesh.

The pain emanating from all parts of his body made Zhou Si, who was at the bottom, look distressed, but he dared not move. One reason was that he was afraid of touching something he shouldn't, and the other was that it really hurt.

So he could only open his arms and speak to the two people above.

"Your equipment has pierced me, can you get up right now?"

"pain."

Upon hearing this, the lone bird immediately climbed off Zhou Si, but for some reason, Azure Star remained motionless.

The lone bird pulled her up and saw that the girl had mosquito coil-like eyes, and then she fainted and fell onto the lone bird.

"..."

Looking at the silly-looking little mute, Lone Bird took a deep breath, feeling that all his previous hostility and dissatisfaction had been wasted.

She had seen Azure Star several times before in the New World, and her impression of him was that he was a powerful hunter who was good at using light weapons.

Although she is petite and cute, she is a very aloof type. When the hunters of the survey team greet her, Azure Star simply nods in response.

Then, after she entered the dream, she saw the aloof female hunter from her memory, pressed against Zhou Si in a shameless manner. It was hard for Lonely Bird not to have impure thoughts.

This is precisely why the lone bird harbors hostility towards her.

But now it seems that my initial impression of Azure Star was not accurate at all; it was completely unrelated.

Does this silly boy really have those kinds of thoughts?

The mother bird sighed again, and for some reason, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in her heart.

And the source of this premonition came from those two fools, Azure Star and Zhou Si.

Besides them, Ludwig also came along. Even though his combat strength might be negligible compared to Zhou Si and the others, he still wanted to get involved.

Even if it's just a little bit of help, that would be great.

As for Gehrman and Maria, they are still in Kos's... now it should be called Zhou Si's dream.

Maria needs to stay and take care of the patients, and she and Gehman also have some minor conflicts to resolve as mentor and student.

I hope Gehman is alright.

Zhou Si prayed for that legendary hunter once again in his heart. First Azure Star, then Maria, his days are not easy.

"Cough cough."

The commander's cough came from the doorway, and only then did everyone inside notice that the door next to him had been opened.

"Commander?"

Zhou Si and the others turned their heads and saw the group of guys outside the door with their faces full of sarcasm and smiles.

The hunters from the survey team were staring at Zhou Si in astonishment. They never expected that their trump cards from the New World and the Forbidden Land would be taken down by this guy.

For a moment, the hunters were filled with gossip and schadenfreude.

You have to understand that there is no concept of monogamy in the Hunter world. If these three really get married in the future, facing two hunters who are known as legends outside, I am more worried about Zhou Si's married life than envying them.

Won't I be mistaken for a badminton player?

However, since some people are happy, others must be sad.

Behind the crowd, Elena's cheeks were flushed, an unnatural blush that was clearly not from the joy of reunion.

The little bird unconsciously gripped the slender sword at its waist, turning its head away, unwilling to look at that hateful fellow any longer.

But Zhou Si immediately noticed the little bird in the crowd and greeted her with surprise and delight.

"Elena? What are you doing here?"

The hunters turned around in surprise and looked at the little bird, whose face was as red as if it were about to bleed.

There are even experts here!

Could that savage be some kind of succubus-humanoid ancient dragon?

"None of those things matter anymore, let's go now!!!"

Miss Elena, who was the center of attention, left these words and ran downstairs.

Zhou Si stood there dumbfounded. I just greeted her, why did she run away?

"Let's go downstairs."

Lone Bird slapped Zhou Si on the back of the head and dragged Azure Star downstairs.

......

When everyone returned to the conference room, the atmosphere became tense again. After all, gossip could wait; the priority now was to solve the problem of the dream world.

The return of Zhou Si and others also gave them a clear direction.

Only the head of the group felt a little regretful; he really wanted to explore this dream world properly.

"Kos's dream is now completely under my control."

This proves that Zhou Si and Melo's thinking is correct. Since Kos's dream can be stolen by such means, then the dream outside, created by the superiors who are pursuing offspring, can also be taken away in the same way.

What the hunters are doing now is what they've always done best.

Hunt those monsters known as the Superiors.

"I have a general understanding of the situation; these monsters have already harmed humans and the ecosystem."

"Hunters, in the name of the guild, I demand that you vanquish all the higher-ups and end this nightmare once and for all!"

"Oh!!!"

The Grand Master's voice echoed in the room, and the hunters shouted excitedly. Even Elene raised her sword in the atmosphere.

The moment the Grand Master finished speaking, Zhou Si received a vibration notification from the Hunter's Book.

A new quest has appeared in the Hunting Requests section.

Hunting Nightmares

[lower 4 stars]

Client: Hunter's Guild

[Mission Details: Beings known as the Superiors have used human consciousness to create terrifying dreams. Destroy these Superiors and end this endless nightmare.]

[Mission Reward: 8000 Investigation Points]

Zhou Si looked at the contents of the Hunter's Book. Although the glaringly obvious lower-tier 4-star rating was still hard not to complain about, at least the mission rewards were much more normal.

After the meeting ended, Zhou Si walked out of the Euton Chapel.

Looking at the blood-red moon in the sky, Zhou Si touched the Tide Hunter disguised as Hakimi on his shoulder.

He finally said the line he had wanted to say for a long time.

"Tonight, Zhou Si joins the hunt..."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Setting the Mountain on Fire

"Stop showing off, it's time to get going."

The lone bird interrupted Zhou Si, who was still pretending to be deep in thought.

"Ahem, here they come."

The emotions that had just been building up instantly dissipated, and Zhou Si hurriedly followed Lone Bird and Azure Star, heading towards the Hunter's Front.

With the hunters and Hai Si working together, they quickly cleared the entire town of church of wild beasts and set up defensive lines at key passes.

Zhou Si and the others arrived at the cathedral district located south of Church Town. This is the nominal headquarters of the Healing Church, and Amelia, the current agent of the Healing Church, is located here.

However, judging from its appearance, it probably doesn't have long to live.

Zhou Si walked to the side of the giant white sheep, whose body was covered with huge wounds left by hunter weapons. This former Blood Saintess was not good at fighting and only knew some runes related to healing.

They barely lasted a few rounds against the hunter before being forced to their knees.

The Aries woman clutched the pendant that symbolized the power of the Healing Church tightly in her hand; it was the only thing she had left as an agent.

After Bishop Lawrence's death, the original Church of Healing had long since fallen apart, and her nominal representative was no different from air.

All he could do was pray to the pendant and Lawrence's skull, hoping that one day things would turn around.

But in the end, all that awaited him was his own beast transformation.

"What did Isamara and Dr. Yousefka say?"

"She had completely lost the will to live, and Dr. Yousefka's advice was to give her a quick death."

The hunter standing nearby said that they were unaware of the evil deeds the Healing Church had committed, so they still felt pity for these clergymen.

But Zhou Si and Cang Lanxing knew all too well about the dirty deeds they had committed, so they dealt with Amelia cleanly and efficiently.

"Let's keep going."

Apart from a few hunters who had hidden themselves well, almost everyone else in the cathedral was dead. The beast-like symptoms of those hunters were also very serious. Fortunately, Dr. Skadi cured them with her medicine and was able to replenish their manpower to a reasonable extent.

But most importantly, these people know a lot about Yharnam and the inner workings of the Healing Church.

This will greatly help the hunters in their next move.

"Lord Zhou Si, this is the way."

Following Ludwig's guidance, Zhou Si and his companions finally stood before the gate to the Forbidden Forest.

The door was tightly closed. Zhou Si walked to the door and heard an old and slow voice coming from inside.

"Password..."

Zhou Si did not answer his question, even though he knew the answer.

Humans should indeed have enough awe for the unknown, but their purpose in going there was to hunt down those in power.
