All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"How about this, you introduce me to those cute girls first, and then I'll introduce them to Lonely Bird, okay?"

"Wow, as expected of Master Ellie, she really hid her scheme well."

Zhou Si looked at Alicia speechlessly; he had heard the abacus beads talking in the Forbidden Land.

"Let's do it another day, next time for sure."

After casually brushing off Ellie's request, Zhou Si noticed Ellie's disguise and asked her with some curiosity.

"So why did you come to Twilight Street?"

Upon hearing this, Ellie's expression immediately changed.

Are you embarrassed to ask?

After he ran away with Mebius, the blame fell squarely on her shoulders. The higher-ups used this incident to make demands of Ellie, and she couldn't refuse.

Moreover, this mission is riddled with pitfalls at first glance.

First of all, those guys claimed they wanted to focus their resources on dealing with the Fifth Herrscher, so they wouldn't be providing Alicia with any support for this mission.

That doesn't matter, since Ellie is used to acting alone anyway.

However, the main objective of those high-ranking officials in this mission was not to retrieve the lost goods at all; their target was Twilight Street, or rather, certain people in Twilight Street.

That day, it fell from the sky. People on earth looked up and saw the starry sky.

This mysterious ballad circulating in Twilight Street somehow reached the ears of some members of the Fire Chaser organization, who suspected that the Fire Chaser's predecessor was hiding in Twilight Street.

Fearing that certain secrets about the moon might be leaked and affect them, they sent people to Dusk Street to investigate the matter.

Otherwise, why would they have a warehouse in this remote corner, with a large number of standard weapons piled up inside?

This is all just a facade for them.

What the higher-ups didn't expect was that before they could find out much about the mysterious ballad, their own warehouse was the first to suffer.

It just so happens that Alicia got into trouble, so we asked her to handle it. Firstly, it would keep Alicia away from the Firemoth headquarters, and secondly, she might be able to discover something in Twilight Street.

"It took me a lot of effort to shake off those little tails."

Exhausted, Ellie slumped into the sofa. Those stalkers were definitely not ordinary people; they were most likely Honkai Energy Compatible Users, and quite strong ones at that. Otherwise, she would have arrived in Twilight Street long ago, instead of going through all this trouble.

"It seems we have the same goal."

Zhou Si looked at the Hunter's Book in his hand. Just now, a new quest appeared in the Hunter's Book, and the contents of the quest were obviously related to the mysterious monster that Ellie had mentioned.

【The Mysterious ██】

[lower 4 stars]

Client: Hunter's Guild

[Mission Details: A mysterious monster has escaped to another world. Hunters are requested to slay it.]

[Mission Reward: 6000 Investigation Points]

"That guy ran from our side, Xiaobai, what do you think?"

After handing the Hunter's Book to Shiro, Alicia quickly handed it the surveillance video as well.

Bai carefully observed the scene in the video. The cargo that suddenly disappeared seemed to have been rolled up by something when it flew into the sky.

Moreover, thanks to the relatively clear monitoring pixels of the Fire-Chasing Moth, Bai discovered, upon careful observation, a transparent outline that appeared in the air at a certain moment.

These obvious features allowed Bai to quickly pinpoint the monster's true form.

"Boss, I got it, meow."

Bai rummaged through his bag and took out a large book. He then quickly flipped to a page that described an ancient dragon monster.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this monster should be a Mirage Dragon!"

The ability to become invisible and a penchant for stealing all point to an ancient dragon that prefers to live in swamps and woodlands—the Chameleon.

"What an amazing monster."

Looking at the monster in the book with bulging pupils and a huge triangular head, Ellie exclaimed in amazement once again. Every time she saw the monsters in Zhou Si's world, she felt they were very magical.

These monsters' bodies and abilities are closely related to the ecosystem, unlike the Honkai Beasts that were forcibly transformed and do not follow any logic. If possible, Alicia really wanted to see what those monsters looked like with her own eyes.

"Xiaobai, are these books for sale?"

Alicia looked at the book in its hand with some envy, and after thinking for a moment, Bai nodded.

The information about the monsters is not classified, and the Hunter's Guild is even happy to teach this knowledge, since the more people who know this knowledge, the greater their chances of surviving the threat of monsters.

Even after confirming Xialong's identity, they still faced new challenges.

How do we find the Xialong?

Alicia raised her hand to ask a question: According to the book, invisibility consumes almost nothing for the Chameleon, and it can maintain invisibility indefinitely. How can they catch an enemy that can remain invisible indefinitely?

Furthermore, and very importantly, the Chameleon is a carnivorous Elder Dragon that actively preys on creatures that appear in its territory, and its intelligence is among the highest of the Elder Dragons.

Zhou Si suspected that it stole the weapons because it had seen how those weapons were used, which is why it chose to go out and eliminate these potential threats.

"Let's start by looking at the habitats it might choose."

Zhou Si finally made the decision. The fact that the Xialong had specifically come out to destroy the Fire Moth's weapon meant that the Fire Moth had already threatened its safety. If that were the case, the Xialong's territory was most likely nearby.

"There's another question, teacher."

Alicia raised her hand again.

"Please speak, student."

"If the principle behind Xialong's cloaking is optical cloaking, can we find it using thermal imaging?"

Hearing Ai Li's words, Zhou Si was stunned for a moment, then shocked.

"You're a genius!"

Alicia's words were like a wake-up call, opening up Zhou Si's mind. He had been in the Hunter world for too long, which had caused his way of thinking to become somewhat assimilated.

In the past, hunters had limited means and could hardly find traces of the Chameleon with the naked eye, but that doesn’t mean they still have to rely on their eyes to find it now.

The fact that the Fire-Chasing Moths have not yet found the Chameleon means that conventional methods like thermal imaging may be ineffective, but if thermal imaging doesn't work, there are other methods.

With technical support from Rhodes Island and Mello, it's only a matter of time before they find Xialong.

Therefore, Zhou Si and the others can focus their attention on the stalkers that Alicia mentioned.

“I can’t shake them off for too long, after all, my destination is definitely Dusk Street.”

"Then we'll just have to keep them silent for the time being."

Zhou Si moved his wrists slightly; he had just been beaten up by the cage bird and was still seething with anger.

Looking at Zhou Si's somewhat gloomy expression, Alicia clasped her hands together and silently prayed for the stalkers.

Hope you are all right.

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

The next day, in a grove of trees on the outskirts of Dusk Street.

"Huh, it feels good."

Zhou Si stretched lazily, feeling completely relaxed. The people who had been following Ai Li were lying sprawled out in front of him.

Most of them were charred black and twitching from time to time, showing that Zhou Si had spared their lives and hadn't killed them.

However, it must be said that these stalkers were quite skilled; together, they did cause Zhou Si some minor trouble.

The minor trouble was that if Zhou Si didn't use group attacks, the people on Twilight Street might overhear them. Originally planning a fierce hand-to-hand combat, Zhou Si had no choice but to give them a free electrotherapy session in desperation.

Despite Zhou Si's best efforts, an unexpected situation still arose.

Zhou Si stood in the crowd, turned her body slightly, and glanced at a large tree not far behind her.

"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please come out for a moment?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I meant no harm."

A gentle, water-like voice came from behind the tree. The young nun slowly emerged from behind the tree and looked at Zhou Si standing in the pile of 'corpses'. There was no fear on her face.

Those sky-blue eyes looked at the man in front of her with a slight surprise, but that surprise quickly turned into calm.

Although the nun in front of him was slightly different from the one Zhou Si remembered, her obvious features still made Zhou Si recognize the woman in front of him.

Aponia, a future Fusion Warrior and one of the Twelve Flame Chasers, possesses the ability to observe destiny and enforce disciplines that are like an imprint on one's mind.

When Zhou Si learned that he was coming to Twilight Street, he was prepared to deal with this nun, but meeting her under these circumstances was still somewhat unexpected.

"Sir, why don't we settle these people in first before we start talking?"

"Row."

Miss Mira, The Snow Woman Widow, The Girl Cursed by the Bull God

Teachers and the Teaching Profession...

Sakuta Azusagawa was reborn, but because the way he was reborn was wrong, he ended up being born into a strange two-dimensional world.

She became an orphan less than three years after she came into this world, but luckily she was adopted by a lady named Tsubakihara Mira and met two older sisters.

Many women also appeared around him; on his left was Gao Ling, and on his right were Feng and Ling, who were his neighbors.

The school has a tennis ace named Kitamura, a baseball manager named Nanao, and many other ace players in the swimming club.

There's also Mizuhara-senpai who wants to become an idol, and Chou-hana-kun who records short videos every day.

The disciplinary committee members here are leading the way in breaking the rules, and the teachers are also putting on a show of being serious.

Elves, succubi, magical girls, team members... Sakuta Azusagawa: This world seems far too dangerous.

Female lead: Don't leave!

"Heh, is it too late for me to stop talking?"

Chapter Nine: How Did You Die? (4k)

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and most of the residents of Huanghun Street did not have the habit of getting up early.

Led by Aponia, Zhou Si dragged the trackers to an abandoned warehouse near the sanatorium.

This place was originally a warehouse used by a powerful local boss to store goods, but the boss was later arrested for reasons that are not convenient to discuss in detail, and the warehouse has been abandoned ever since.

But that's partly due to Aponia.

After all, well-informed people in Twilight Street know that there are two people in Twilight Street that are best avoided.

One is the master thief Padofelis, who has a mysterious boss behind her.

The other is Aponia at the Twilight Street Sanatorium.

This was something that countless predecessors had tried and learned at a terrible cost, not to mention that there have been recent reports that the two seem to be getting very close.

"Sir, is it alright to just leave them here like this?"

Aponia looked at the row of trackers lying in front of her. She wasn't trying to plead for them; she was simply curious.

Is it really okay to just leave them here without taking any measures?

"It's alright, they won't wake up for now."

Zhou Si opened his eyes and stood up. He had already pulled these guys into the dream world. As long as he didn't release them, these guys basically had no chance of waking up.

Zhou Si has already given Maria and the others some access to the dream world. With the help of the dream world access, even if these people are assassins specially trained by the higher-ups of the Firemoth, Gehrman can still pry them open.

They can even change their minds and turn them to their side.

Zhou Si's job was simply to keep their bodies from dying.

"Let's go. You seem to have a lot to say to me?"

After settling these guys in, Zhou Si turned to look at Aponia beside him.

The nun was not denying Zhou Si's words, because her appearance in that place was indeed not an accident.

"Sir, please come with me."

Aponia nodded slightly, then turned and led Zhou Si toward the sanatorium.
