All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Zhou Si, who was holding a can of food, came to Bai's side at this time. After handing the can to Pado, he took out a relatively normal-looking shield axe from the Hunter's Book.

Pado stared blankly at the handsome black-haired man who had suddenly appeared. So the talking cat was his companion?

"Boss, these Kamaitachi Dragons look very nervous."

"Hmm, they look like they just arrived here, and they also show signs of Honkai."

Zhou Si carefully observed the state of the Kamaitachi Dragon King. It was watching Zhou Si and the others warily, roaring incessantly. It had clearly realized that Zhou Si and Pado were different, not pushovers they could easily manipulate.

"Roar--"

Zhou Si's eyes transformed into dragon pupils, and he let out a low roar at the sickle dragons. The pressure from the ancient dragon species at the top of the ecological niche made these weak bird dragons tremble instantly.

Only the corrupted Kamaitachi Dragon King remained unmoved, even eager to launch an attack on Zhou Si.

The consequences are obvious.

A few minutes later, Padofilis stared blankly at Zhou Si, who had already set up the grill. She still hadn't figured out what was going on.

All I saw was the Kamaitachi Dragon King lunge forward and fall down.

Then Zhou Si used his sleep dagger to put all the Kamaitachi dragons to sleep.

After sending most of the Kamaitachi Dragons back to the Hunter World, Zhou Si kept the Kamaitachi Dragon King and two unlucky Kamaitachi Dragons behind as dinner for the night.

At this moment, Mebius, who had been watching from a distance, also walked over, looking at the Kamaitachi Dragon King with amazement in his eyes.

"The monsters over there are truly amazing. Even such weak monsters can adapt to the effects of Honkai energy so easily."

This is something that is hard for people in the Honkai world to accept.

According to Mebius's statistics, roughly one in ten thousand people possesses Honkai energy adaptability.

Don't think this proportion is small. You should know that even if you have Honkai energy adaptability, most people's adaptability is at most that they will not be turned into zombies in the Honkai energy environment.

People like Hen are extremely rare, and it would be difficult to find a third human of the caliber of Alicia and Kevin in the entire world.

It seems that every monster in the Hunter world has this potential: even if they cannot use Honkai energy, they will not be assimilated by it.

Mebius wanted to figure out the secret behind this, because if this method could be applied to humans, the Honkai would no longer be a threat to them.

After Zhou Si and Mebius took away the necessary materials, they quickly cleaned the three Kamaitachi dragons and put them on the grill.

While preparing the seasonings, he glanced at Padofelis, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"I can eat just a little bit..."

Pado answered instinctively, then immediately shook her head after realizing what she had said.

"No, no, thank you so much for saving my life, otherwise I would definitely have been killed by this monster."

Pado looked at the motionless Kamaitachi Dragon King lying on the grill with lingering fear, but the aroma coming from the stove made her subconsciously swallow.

Business has been slow lately, and the situation at the sanatorium isn't great either. Pado hasn't eaten meat in a while now.

"Drink this."

Zhou Si gave up her position to Bai so that it could operate the grill, while she walked over to Pado and handed her a bottle of recovery potion.

Pado looked at the green bottle in Zhou Si's hand. As a visual creature, she obviously didn't want to drink it, but reason and intuition told her that the man in front of her probably wouldn't harm her.

In the end, Paddo took the big green stick and, with a look of resignation, drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

The mixture of the dryness of herbs and the sweetness of honey flowed down her esophagus into her stomach, and the strange taste made Pado shudder.

'This isn't some strange medicine, is it?'

Pado thought this, but as her wounds began to heal, all that remained in her mind was gratitude.

"Is it really okay for us to drink something so expensive?"

The cat asked cautiously.

"It's okay, this thing isn't worth much."

Zhou Si waved his hand, saying that the raw materials for the recovery medicine were everywhere, and that Pado's injuries were not serious, so drinking ordinary recovery medicine would be enough.

However, just because Zhou Si didn't care didn't mean Pado didn't care either. She stood up seriously and cupped her hands in greeting to Zhou Si and the others.

"My name is Padofilis, you can call me Padof or Phyllis, but may I ask how you three benefactors should be addressed?"

"I am Zhou Si, and this is my partner Bai."

Zhou Si pointed to herself, then to Bai who was grilling meat next to her, and then looked at the little snake next to her.

"Mebius."

"Brother Zhou, if there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know. Although I don't have any great skills, I do have some connections in the Twilight Street area."

"Judging from your attire, you must have come from outside. Is there something you need here?"

Pado looked at Zhou Si and the others with a big smile. She had seen too many outsiders like Zhou Si and the others.

This Brother Zhou was well-dressed, showed no signs of fatigue, and was quite skilled.

Obviously, they didn't come to Twilight Street because they were desperate; they were probably looking for someone or doing something.

It's not that Pado is bragging, but she really is a know-it-all in the Twilight Street area. Although she certainly can't repay Zhou Si's life-saving grace, she's happy as long as she can help them.

"We are looking for someone now."

Sure enough, Zhou Si's words made Pado's smile even brighter; her judgment was indeed correct.

"If it's convenient, Brother Zhou, you might as well tell us. We may have heard of the person you're looking for."

Looking at Pado's smile, Zhou Si suddenly had the urge to tease her.

"I don't know her name and I've never seen her before. I only know that she probably hangs out in the Twilight Street area and her whereabouts are very mysterious."

"That would be difficult. Brother Zhou, do you know anything about that person's characteristics?"

Zhou Si shook his head again. Seeing his expression, Pado looked somewhat troubled. It wouldn't be easy to find them if they didn't know their features.

"Or, if you don't mind, could you tell me why you wanted to find that person?"

"Well, it's a long story, but to put it simply, that guy stole something very important to me."

Oh, they're from the same industry? That narrows down the possibilities considerably.

Detective Pado's eyes gradually sharpened. There were many petty thieves on Twilight Street, but Pado only knew of a few who had the ability to steal from someone like Zhou Si, who was clearly not simple.

The next step is simply to investigate step by step.

"Perhaps we can help you find what you lost."

Pado patted her chest confidently, thinking that this would be considered as repaying part of the debt of gratitude.

"Oh, by the way, I think I heard that this person is a very famous thief in Twilight Street, with a mysterious boss behind him. Do you know who Pado is?"

Zhou Si added as if he had just remembered, but when Pado heard his words, her expression froze instantly, and cold sweat poured down her face.

Paddy knows exactly who this person is.

The mastermind is the boss behind the scenes—the implications are so clear.

Who else could it be but the infamous thief Padrephilis of Twilight Street?

"Haha, Brother Zhou, do you think there might be some misunderstanding here?"

Pado chuckled and hugged the can of food to her chest, but her eyes began to dart around as she searched for an escape route.

We should find another way to repay Brother Zhou's life-saving grace; Pado needs to save her own life first.

"Don't scare her, we don't have that much time to waste."

Seeing that Pato was about to run away in a panic, Mebius interrupted Zhou Si's teasing of the cat.

“Padofelis, we’ve come to find you. Take us to Vilvie’s workshop.”

"yeah?"

......

"Oh, so Brother Zhou and you guys are Sister Wilvi's friends. You should have said so earlier."

Sitting back down in front of the oven, Pado wiped the cold sweat from her brow; Zhou Si's perverse sense of humor had given her quite a fright.

"Of course we know where Sister Vilvie's workshop is. We can take you there in a bit."

Actually, Pado and Velvet's relationship wasn't very good. Their first meeting was when Pado sneaked into the workshop of the great magician who had just arrived in Twilight Street to gather inspiration, and was then caught by Velvet's trap.

But Virvi did nothing to the petty thief Pado; on the contrary, she paid Pado a considerable sum to help her with some tasks.

After a couple of visits, the two became acquainted, but their relationship wasn't particularly close. It was just that Pado's habitual way of addressing her made them seem very intimate.

"Don't call me Brother Zhou, just call me Zhou Si or Brother Zhou Si."

"Okay, Brother Zhou Si."

Pado readily agreed, saying she would call her whatever she wanted as long as she wasn't bothered.

"Pado, have you seen any similar monsters near Dusk Street?"

Zhou Si took a bite of the Kamaitachi Dragon King's meat and asked, looking at Pado, whose mouth was covered in oil.

"Never before, this is the first time we've ever seen this."

"Is that so... Pado, try not to come here for the time being."

This herd of Kamaitachiosaurus clearly arrived in this world not long ago, and the weak point in the spatial structure should be near this forest.

Now it's the Kamaitachi Dragon, but who knows what monsters will come next.

For Pado's safety, Zhou Si still reminded her.

Paddy nodded frantically upon hearing this. She would never come here again, not even in her lifetime, let alone recently.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Pado led Zhou Si and the others to the location of Vilvi's workshop.

The workshop was located in the basement of No. 221 Twilight Street. Padola opened the hidden door in the study and led Zhou Si and the others down to a large door in the style of Vervier.

It must be said that Vilvi's abilities are truly remarkable; she managed to dig out such a large space underground in Twilight Street without anyone noticing.

"Brother Zhou Si, we need to be careful from now on."

Pado's expression suddenly turned serious. She reached out and opened the door, a move that stunned Zhou Si and Mebius behind her.

If this door can be opened directly, then what was the purpose of the password that Vilvie gave them?

Just as they stepped into the workshop, the door slammed shut, and blinding lights came on. The two people besides Zhou Si and Bai instinctively covered their eyes.

The next moment, a whooshing sound pierced the air, and a huge fist flew towards them.

Zhou Si reached out and caught the fist steadily. The fist was made of soft rubber. Although it was fast, it was not very lethal and was not intended to kill.

As the fist swung, a crack quietly appeared in the wall. If Zhou Si hadn't blocked the punch, they would all have been smashed into the hole.

"The Spiral Workshop technology is the best in the universe!"

A faint sound of machinery reached Zhou Si's ears, and he quickly shouted in response.

As expected, the mechanism stopped operating after he shouted.

So the password was used to close the mechanism!

Chapter Six: Is This Still a Forbidden Land? (2/?)

"Brother Zhou Si, then we'll head back now. You and Sister Mebius should eat, drink, and stay well."

Zhou Si stopped complaining about Pado calling the little snake "sister." Seeing that Pado looked like she wanted to slip away, Zhou Si threw her a scale.

"Brother Zhou Si, is this for us?"

Pado's eyes lit up as she looked at the shimmering silver scales in her hand. Although she didn't recognize what they were, they looked very valuable.

"Consider this a deposit. Keep an eye out for the surrounding area and let me know if any similar monsters appear."

"Good boss!"

Pado straightened her back and, imitating the soldiers, saluted Zhou Sijing.

Zhou Si is such a good person!

"You just let that girl go like that? You seem to care about her a lot."
