Dream Travel

Chapter 172 Safe Landing
"It's my first time using something like this to enter a dream world, and I'm a little nervous about it." Bai Mu examined the brain in the vat in front of him.

This thing must have been cloned using some kind of method? It's very strange that something like this appeared in this era.

“…Why don’t you go home?” Borei glanced at Bai Mu from the side.

"That won't do!" Bai Mu checked the time: "There are still two minutes left."

Because of the Bureau's planning arrangements, the departure time for the White Curtain was also strictly regulated.

The coverage area of ​​the Otherworld Terminal is not large, so Bore doesn't need to worry about being drawn into Otherworld here.

The hazy feeling that Bai Mu felt here was very weak; it was difficult to perceive anything more than two meters away from the Dream Terminal.

Two minutes later, under Borre's gaze, the white curtain tore away without hesitation, revealing the hazy feeling he had sensed. Borre seemed quite used to the disappearance of the white curtain.

Looking down at his watch, Borre called out to the people outside the cabin, "You're getting ready to depart too."

Based on existing intelligence, the ratio of dream time associated with this dream terminal is 1:3.

Those who set off later will have to wait one minute. If the situation on the other side of the white curtain remains stable, the three-minute delay will not make a difference.

If the situation over there is urgent, with his abilities he should be able to survive for three minutes... oops, I mean, he should be able to buy himself five minutes.

A dream world.

The white curtain that landed felt the hazy atmosphere around it, and raised an eyebrow slightly. The difference between entering another dream through the other dream terminal and entering directly through the other dream source was obvious.

The hazy feeling provided by the Dream Terminal was very weak, so weak that after he landed, passersby looked at the white curtain with some doubt.

However, when a passerby enters another dream through the source of another dream normally, they will not experience this reaction at all.

It can only be said that the initial protection provided by the Dream Terminal is too weak. If you encounter a skilled person, the protection provided by this hazy layer will be completely useless.

The passersby looked at him with suspicion, but Bai Mu casually carried his ita box and turned to leave. It was nighttime, and there weren't many passersby. If that passerby was troublesome, Bai Mu would have to make the other person physically amnesiac first.

The puzzled passerby dismissed his doubts. Where did this anime/manga character come from? Wandering around in the middle of the night, wasn't he afraid of being arrested and dragged away by some black guys?

"Why is it so peaceful?" Bai Mu muttered, somewhat dissatisfied. He had already prepared to land and start slashing.

Is this all? Does this organization, which developed in this strange dream, still have any ambition?
Muttering to himself, Bai Mu did not attempt to find the source of the strange dream.

He entered through a brain in a vat, and he doesn't even know what the Source of the Dream looks like. What's wrong with that?

Unless a large-scale man-made disaster is created to see who acts like the protagonist in this disaster, then the other party is most likely the source of the strange dream.

He found a place to wait for ten minutes, then stuffed the communicator into the box, picked up the box, and left.

Seven minutes ago, the people from the processing bureau also entered this strange dream world.

They were also professionals, and upon entering, they immediately noticed that the passersby's expressions were not quite right; it was a sign of wariness after seeing a group of people gathering late at night.

The authorities immediately took emergency measures.

Based on their ample experience, they determined that these people wandering around late at night were not good people, and immediately used physical means to dispel the guard of a small number of passersby.

After moving to a new location, they summarized the current intelligence.

The initial cover provided by the Dream Terminal was weak; this was the first piece of intelligence. Moreover, the environment was urban, and not many enemies were found; this was the second piece of intelligence, which was good news.

This indicates that the unknown organization that developed this alternate dream source does not have strong control over it.

However, they also couldn't find any trace of the White Curtain. This was very unusual, as the White Curtain also carried a communicator, and even if their landing points were different, they shouldn't have exceeded the communicator's range.

Unless this dream source is very special, causing them to appear in a location more than ten kilometers away from the dream source.

Considering the difference between the Dream Terminal and the Dream Source, this possibility still exists.

Since they couldn't contact Bai Mu and hadn't discovered any enemies, they proceeded with their planned operation.

Avoiding combat is the best start. Combat means casualties, and casualties are equivalent to more holes in the Dream Source. Even if the problem is solved later, the remaining issues will still need to be addressed by the Bureau of Remediation.

"What type of dream world is this?"

Bai Mu was holding a newspaper; he had acquired the money when he arrived.

The money wasn't counterfeit money produced by the processing bureau; it was seized from people who were illegally using the Dream Terminal.

Those people use the alternate dream terminal to obtain illegal items from the alternate dream for profit. Since they need to frequently enter and exit the alternate dream, they naturally prepare some corresponding currency.

Their method of frequently entering and exiting otherworldly dreams is quite simple: just prepare several bottles of different Dreamwalker Brain Essence.

By using it repeatedly, one can frequently enter a particular dream within a short period of time, but this method is not very effective for dream walkers.

The unique nature of dreamwalkers conflicts with the protective mechanisms generated by the brain; simply put, dreamwalkers cannot provide themselves with the same protection.

The conveniences that ordinary people can enjoy, Dreamwalkers can't... Hmm, if Dreamwalkers could also enjoy them, I guess there would be more conflicts among them because of this.

Now? There are conflicts now too. White Curtain doesn't believe that, driven by the exorbitant profits of brain marrow, any Dream Walker could refrain from taking action against their peers.

The white curtain obtained a small amount of information about this world through the newspapers, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. The news and other things were normal and did not involve anything strange.

So this strange dream is just the kind that's very ordinary?

There may be some battles, but these battles are still within the normal range.

Bai Mu was even more disappointed by this. If there were urban monsters or something similar in this world, he would be happy to help the foreign residents get rid of the pests.

But there's nothing here!

"...What the hell? This is a wasted trip." After going around in circles for a while, Bai Mu finally gave up.

He used the Observer Imperial Arm and the scope component attached to the Spirit Pivot firearm to perform a mental scan, but found nothing.

There's nothing special about it.

Since they were already there, Bai Mu decided to find a place to stay for the night, and if they didn't find any enemies, they would consider it a shopping trip.

As for those people in the processing bureau, his communicator was useless, and he couldn't contact them at all.

Since that's the case, don't blame him for not doing his job.

Bai Mu spent the whole night making a simple plan for himself: buy a mobile phone, buy a computer, and look for local specialties. He bought everything he could.

One last car... and you're all set!
As for the source of funds, Bai Mu had already found it when he was looking for targets. Because the location was overseas, there were many local gangs, and it was easy to find a group of targets who could provide initial funds.

As for bullying ordinary people by taking advantage of one's strength, it depends on what kind of ordinary people are being bullied. Some people, no matter how much they cause trouble, cannot be considered bullying.

"go to bed!"
