Chapter 133: Chapter 123: Definitely Won’t Hit People_2

He had spent just as much time in the Apocalypse World as had passed in Hazy City; there was no such thing as time standing still in his original world while he was away in another.

"By the way, I haven’t picked up any viruses, have I?"

"Inside the Dusk Cathedral, there’s no chance of a virus leak."

"..." That is to say, outside the Dusk Cathedral it’s different? He and Tia went to the infirmary, where Tia took out a bottle of disinfectant and sprayed him with it.

"You’re fine now."

Since the Dusk nun said so, Zheng Yichen didn’t question it; he couldn’t stay there forever and returned to his residence.

After more than two months, the villa had acquired more signs of life and several new decorations that weren’t there before he left. When Zheng Yichen opened the door and pressed the doorbell, a young woman came over. Seeing him standing at the door, she ran over excitedly and threw herself into his arms.

"I’m back. Don’t rush, I’m going to take a shower first, then we can talk." Zheng Yichen pressed down on the girl’s cheeks.

"No, I don’t care about that—"

As the Forest Witch Eileena emerged and saw the young couple embracing, she shook her head gently and returned to her room. It had only been a little over two months; to her, who had lived alone in the forest for decades, this amount of time was insignificant.

However, it was different for Katrina; during the time Zheng Yichen was away, she went to the Dusk Cathedral every day, always talking about her little lover and neglecting her studies considerably.

Zheng Yichen’s bath took nearly three hours.

At the dinner table, he shared his experiences of the past while. Eileena lost interest as she listened; the world that Zheng Yichen visited was related to the apocalypse, and those viruses, he thought, would be better off not appearing in Hazy City at all. A virus that could destroy a whole world, even though it originated from a global downpour.

It wouldn’t necessarily trigger an apocalyptic crisis if it appeared in Hazy City, but such things were still fraught with uncontrollable dangers.

What interested her were the Alien Phenomenon creatures Zheng Yichen had encountered, as well as the changes in him.

"Did you keep samples of those Alien Phenomenon creatures?"

"I kept some samples of some, and others I had no chance to collect at all. I’ll bring them back to you tomorrow." Right now, he was focusing on eating, as he hadn’t enjoyed his shower much and had arranged for a second round with the girl by his side later in the evening.

"How is your research going?"

Eileena showed a slightly helpless expression, "Not much progress in the research. The witch knowledge I previously possessed is too... insufficient, and I have yet to finish the supplemental phase."

A witch inherently holds knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people, but that knowledge applies only to her world. It’s a different story in this modernized world, where the vast knowledge databases were an eye-opener for her.

During the time Zheng Yichen was away, she not only learned from books, but she also took many online courses.

"Alright, take your time with it." Eileena’s response was not unexpected to Zheng Yichen; how could a knowledge system be perfected in such a short time?

The magic in their world was monotonous by nature, primarily auxiliary, and the level of development was even less remarkable. Even if they were provided with more magic-related knowledge, it was unlikely they would master it all in a short time.

"Katrina has attracted some new suitors recently." Eileena changed the subject.

"I’ve already turned those people down." Katrina hurriedly said. She went to the Dusk Cathedral every day, and many people saw her. Combined with her inherently good looks, it was inevitable that some would take an extra interest in her, becoming her suitors.

"What about them?"

"Some never came looking for me again, while others seemed not quite willing to give up," Katrina said somewhat helplessly, "So I had Eileena make me some amulets."

"Amulets made by the Forest Witch? What kind are they?" "What kind of amulets?"

"They’re made with snake venom, which when triggered will cause those with malice to suffer excruciating pain," Eileena simply described the effect of those amulets, which are a type of magic tool that requires ’spell components’.

The snake venom is ordinary, but it can affect those with ill intentions without the need for poisoning. It’s an additional use of necromantic skill, somewhat similar to cursing effigies but with limited range. It only works within ten meters and isn’t highly lethal.

After all, it’s just a reaction to snake venom, not actual poisoning.

You could think of it as a magical version of pepper spray.

"I’ll go talk to those people later," Zheng Yichen said bluntly, not wanting to waste more time on such a melodramatic matter. As for the fact that Katrina had admirers, that would only be abnormal given her looks.

"You won’t hit them, will you? Those people also frequent the Dusk Cathedral. Won’t that affect you?"

"Of course not," Zheng Yichen shook his head. He worked at the Dusk Cathedral, and not everyone there was staff; some were just passersby.

Zheng Yichen didn’t hit anyone. He simply accompanied Katrina to the Dusk Cathedral once, and after waiting for those men, he had a serious talk with them, and they gave up. During the entire process, he didn’t do anything too violent, just twisted a metal twist in front of them.

After all, fighting was prohibited inside the Dusk Cathedral. His action was merely an artistic performance, prompting the surrounding girls to roll their eyes at Zheng Yichen. Indeed, it wasn’t hitting, but it was more intimidating than a punch.

This was good; there would probably be no additional harassment when coming to the Dusk Cathedral from now on.

"Is this your companion? Hello there."

Hunter Arno greeted Zheng Yichen and glanced at the metal twist by Zheng Yichen’s hand, revealing a knowing smile. As an experienced hunter, he had already guessed what had happened here.

"Hello," Katrina said, somewhat embarrassed as she returned Hunter Arno’s greeting.

"Let’s play cards together next time," Arno didn’t linger, knowing that if it were just Zheng Yichen alone, a longer chat would be fine, but with a companion by his side, continuing the conversation would be like being a third wheel.

Zheng Yichen hadn’t been to the Dusk Cathedral for over two months. Arno had thought that Zheng Yichen, as a new Proxy Agent, might have died in some world. The tasks of Dusk mercenaries and Dusk Proxy Agents were similar, but Proxy Agents faced more dangerous issues than Dusk mercenaries.

To put it plainly, Dusk mercenaries are like employees of the Dusk Cathedral, not owing anything to it. Working there is also for greater benefits and self-improvement, making their relationship appear fairer, while Proxy Agents are ’sinners,’ and naturally, they take on the more dangerous tasks first.

Seeing Zheng Yichen again made Arno quite happy; it at least showed that Zheng Yichen had completed the tasks required of a Proxy Agent and gained experience points, making similar tasks less difficult in the future.

Whether as a Dusk mercenary or a Proxy Agent, when going on missions, they generally don’t face increasingly difficult tasks each time. There might be several high-difficulty tasks in a row or an easy task that can be completed and returned on the same day.

"Is he a friend you met here?" Katrina asked about Arno’s identity with some curiosity.

"A colleague."

"Then can I also try being a Hunter?" Katrina was somewhat tempted. Zheng Yichen looked at her and picked up the metal twist he had set aside.

"When you can twist this thing like I did, or in some other way, then you can," he said.

The girl couldn’t help but pinch Zheng Yichen’s arm: "I’ll work hard."
