All my hunting commissions come from another world?

With a bit of luck, Azure Star might produce a super genius like Kevin or Durandal, but if we look at the worst-case scenario...

Zhou Si looked at the little mute boy who was digging for materials nearby, and her worries grew even heavier.

Let me eat first: [@AAA High-Price Monster Material Buying, Dr. Möbius, are you free now?]

[Dr. Möbius?]

Zhou Si tagged Dr. Möbius several times in the group, but Dr. Möbius did not respond at all, which was extremely unusual.

Normally, whenever Zhou Si popped up in the group chat, Dr. Möbius would appear and try to lure him to visit the First Research Institute.

However, it's also possible that Dr. Mebius is busy with her own affairs.

Seeing that Mebius hadn't replied to her message yet, Zhou Si decided to talk to her about Azure Star later.

Before Zhou Si could even put down his phone, his private chat window started shaking wildly.

Miss Pink Fairy: [Zhou Si, Zhou Si, something terrible has happened!]

Let me cook first: [What happened?]

Seeing the long string of exclamation marks scrolling across the screen of his phone, Zhou Si suddenly had a bad feeling.

Miss Pink Fairy: [Just recently, a violent explosion occurred in Dr. Mebius's laboratory, and several enormous monsters emerged.]

[If I hadn't been planning to visit Dr. Möbius at that moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.]

Moreover, the features of those monsters were so distinctive that they were extremely similar to the monsters in the Hunter World.

Even though Alicia doesn't usually participate much in their research discussions in the group chat, she now realizes the seriousness of the situation.

Dr. Möbius's experiments were probably far more extreme than they imagined.

Let me finish my meal first: [And then? What about Dr. Möbius?]

Zhou Si quickly pressed for an answer. If it were just an experimental accident, Alicia wouldn't be so nervous, and Dr. Mebius hasn't said anything yet.

I am afraid...

Pink Fairy: [After dealing with those monsters, I went into the lab by myself.]

Today is a rare day off for Laboratory One; Dr. Möbius is the only one in the entire lab.

But when I entered the lab, all I saw was a pool of blood and a few broken petri dishes; nothing else...

I don't think Dr. Möbius will die just like that, but because of the explosion and the monster, the higher-ups at Firemoth are keeping a close eye on me.

Alicia was in her room. She pulled back a corner of the curtains and saw several unfamiliar faces standing downstairs, as well as some unfamiliar vehicles nearby.

These guys were probably sent by the higher-ups of the Firemoth to monitor her.

Alicia and Mebius have been getting too close lately, which makes those in high positions very uneasy.

With two uncertainties combined, sure enough, they've dealt them a major blow.

Although Alicia is well-liked among the Firemoths, there aren't many people who can actually help her in this situation.

May and Vervie were also key targets of the Fire Moths' surveillance, and Kevin had only recently joined the First Squad.

After much thought, Alicia finally decided to ask Zhou Si for help.

Not only because he wouldn't be noticed by the higher-ups at Firemoth, but more importantly, because he was probably the only one here who knew exactly what Dr. Mebius had done.

Let me cook first: [...I understand.]

Zhou Si put down her phone and looked at the scenery of the ancient tree forest, letting out a silent sigh.

'When can I finally get some rest...?'

Volume 4: Wangwang Shattered Ice (Forbidden Land & Honkai Impact 3)

Chapter 1: I'll take your silence as a yes (4k)

At night, the cunning moonlight spilled onto the ground, illuminating the broken bricks and stones.

Although it was late at night, the area around the First Research Institute of the Fire Moth was still tightly surrounded, with many soldiers patrolling the perimeter outside the cordon.

"I knew that 'devil' wasn't up to any good in the lab, tsk tsk."

"Who says otherwise? It's tough on us, having to work overtime so late."

Two soldiers on the night shift looked at the ruins not far away and complained.

More than ten hours have passed since the incident at the First Research Institute of the Fire Moth. After the monsters were killed by Alicia, the place was sealed off by the Fire Moth's higher-ups.

But it was just a lockdown.

After all, although they found Dr. Mebius's blood in the laboratory, they never found the body.

Therefore, they will not do anything to Möbius's laboratory in the short term, but once Möbius's death is confirmed, they will immediately take over all the research results and data in the laboratory.

The situation is still unclear. They saw what happened this morning, and who knows what monsters might still be lurking inside the First Research Institute.

However, it is still very necessary to keep those who have close ties with Dr. Mebius under surveillance.

The soldiers served two purposes: to be vigilant about potential dangers inside and to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering and taking away important items.

However, the incompetent leaders at the top of the Fire Moth organization were thinking too simply.

In the darkness, a figure draped in a black cloak easily evaded the soldiers' sight. The girl moved lightly and silently, a few strands of pink hair drifting past beneath the cloak.

As the captain of one of the combat squads of the Fire Moth, Alicia was very familiar with the training content and habits of these soldiers.

It's incredibly easy to evade their patrols.

As for the surveillance cameras and drones that cover almost every blind spot...

Alicia walked out confidently, making no attempt to avoid the surveillance cameras, and swaggered in.

Strangely, even when the reconnaissance drone flew right up to Alicia's face, there was no reaction whatsoever.

'Vilvie is indeed very reliable!'

Alice thought to herself, and on a whim, she even tapped the drone's metal head, but the drone still ignored Alice and didn't make any move.

And so, Alicia easily broke into the heavily guarded First Research Institute.

Upon entering the research institute, the outer part of the building had been almost completely destroyed by the monsters, but the laboratory inside was surprisingly not severely damaged.

Apart from a few large holes in the wall and experimental supplies scattered all over the floor, the large, expensive instruments were all in perfect condition, and some of them were even still in normal operation.

This is also why the Moths of Fire have not yet taken a strong stance to take over.

It's hard not to think that this scene was deliberately orchestrated by Mebius; those cunning fellows weren't planning to take action against this venomous snake until they were fully prepared.

After all, Mebius knew far too much.

Da da da...

Alicia's crisp, cheerful footsteps gradually moved towards the interior of the laboratory.

Soon, she arrived at the door of Mebius's own laboratory.

Using the key card borrowed from Dr. Möbius's assistant Klein, Alicia successfully opened the door in front of her, but at this moment, there was a figure sitting in Möbius's chair with his back to her in the laboratory.

"You finally came."

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived too."

It was a male voice, and although he deliberately kept his tone low, the owner of the voice was clearly not very old.

"Long time no see, Zhou Si?"

Alicia took off her cloak and happily moved closer. Although it was not appropriate to be so happy where Dr. Mebius had fallen, she was indeed happy to be reunited after so long.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhou Si also turned around from the chair, but when she saw Alicia's look, she couldn't help but ask.

"Does the higher-ups see how strict you are?"

"Yes, it took me a lot of effort to get in."

Ellie spread her hands in dissatisfaction. The higher-ups were the ones who kept the strictest watch on her. If it weren't for the help of Wilvi and the others, she would never have been able to sneak out undetected.

"What if we get caught?"

"Hmph..."

Zhou Si was a little curious, but to her surprise, Alicia just chuckled and then lifted the cloak she was wearing, revealing the hunter's outfit she was wearing, which was modified from the Hope Set.

Compared to the original Hope Set, Alicia's "knock-off" version changes the color of the clothes to pink and white, and adds a lot of accessories that she likes.

"Then I'll go and join you and Lone Bird, and become a hunter in another world!"

Alicia pinched the muscles on her upper arm to show off her strength.

Stop joking and come help!

Zhou Si rolled her eyes at her. She was just saying it; if Zhou Si actually agreed to her now, Ai Li would definitely find some excuse to brush it off.

They turned their attention back to Mebius's computer, and Alicia quickly came over.

The two looked at Dr. Möbius's computer desktop, then at each other, and then Zhou Si made a very constructive suggestion.

"How about we check the browser history first?"

"I agree?"

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Zhou Si moved the mouse and opened the browser on the computer.

The first thing they saw was a collection of professional knowledge searches that Zhou Si and his companion couldn't understand at all. But as they scrolled down, they discovered something terrifying.

Or rather, it's something that's somewhat frightening to Zhou Si.

How to get male (laboratory) mice to willingly visit your home (laboratory)?

[Thirty-six techniques for friendly communication with male (white mice) mice.]

How to avoid scaring away your crush (like a guinea pig).

......

"Dr. Möbius likes you very much, Zhou Si?"

"It's best if she likes it."

Seeing Alicia's teasing expression, Zhou Si hesitated for a moment. Wasn't the truth about Möbius's heart already common knowledge?

This pink-haired guy just wanted to mock him!

From these chat logs, Zhou Si only saw a researcher who was full of desire for scientific research and evolution.

It would be better if this research goal wasn't him.

"It seems there's nothing noteworthy about this place."

Zhou Si sighed. Apart from the content that was meant to lure him away, Mebius's computer was mostly filled with research data that he couldn't understand.

Ellie, who was standing to the side, had already started to drift off into a daze. She had traveled around the world by herself when she was very young. Although she had studied hard along the way and made many smart friends, she had also made many good friends.

But in terms of education level, she probably really isn't that good.

"Something's wrong."

"Did you find anything?"

Zhou Si nodded. Although the laboratory was filled with all kinds of equipment that looked very expensive, there were actually not many signs of use on it.

What's even stranger is that Zhou Si clearly sent so much material to Mebius, yet there wasn't a single smell in the laboratory.

"This laboratory is probably not Dr. Möbius's actual laboratory."

"Ellie, is there anything else you know?"

Alicia shook her head. She rarely came to Mebius's laboratory, let alone the hidden laboratory.

"Blanca or Klein might know something, but they probably can't help much right now."

Blanca and Klein were both highly trusted assistants of Dr. Möbius, and if one had to ask who might know the location of the laboratory, it would only be the two of them.

"Both of them should be under the control of the Fire-Chasing Moths by now."
