Dream Travel

Chapter 177 What's going on?

"That's decisive enough." Bai Mu put away his weapon.

Evan frowned. This wasn't the first time this had happened. Some masterminds, when being pursued closely, would simply abandon their current parallel universe and move on to the parallel universe where their next target was located.

The time police were at their wits' end. The main culprit was the most important, but the parallel individuals were the ones who were hard to control because they had all been tampered with before the main culprit took action.

Before the main culprit is identified, everyone could become a victim, and protection is impossible due to the vast scope involved.

"Hey! I remember I killed a mob boss before, and he was pretty good at fighting." Seeing that Evan wasn't in a good mood, Bai Mu had a sudden inspiration and brought up a topic that could cheer him up.

Evan stared at the white screen in disbelief: "Why didn't you tell me something this important sooner?"

"If I tell you, can you change your target?"

“I can call for backup!” Evan took out his phone and contacted headquarters while waiting for the wormhole to open.

Using the information provided by Bai Mu, headquarters quickly retrieved the relevant information and confirmed the identity of the gang leader.

"...Too late." Evan's face was grim. All the parallel individuals connected to the gang leader had been confirmed dead, with the last one's death recorded two days ago.

"That's a shame. Let's hurry up and hunt down the main culprit. Speaking of which, wouldn't it be fine to just kill the main culprit directly?"

“No, there are still a lot of problems,” Gabriel said from the side. “The remaining parallel individuals will also find themselves becoming stronger. Some are willing to return to normal life, while others need to be arrested.”

Those people started committing crimes after discovering their increased power.

Moreover, after the ringleader dies, the illegal organization will abandon its 'supervision' of these people and may even tell them some 'truths' so that they can continue to cause trouble.

So far, some people who are not from illegal organizations are going against the Time Police.

They also wanted to acquire greater power, so they set up time police in their own parallel universe.

Whenever time police appear, those people will try to attack them and steal their portable time-travel devices.

Even if they don't need those things, as long as they can seize the relevant items, members of illegal organizations will contact them and help them unlock those things.

"You guys have it tough," Bai Mu clicked his tongue twice. "Didn't you ever think about expanding enrollment?"

"This is difficult." Evan's expression was solemn. Expanding the recruitment of the Time-Space Police was not easy, and the personnel review could not be relaxed, otherwise it would be easy for a mole to appear.

"Then let's find someone from another universe. Look how suitable I am. I don't have any parallel individuals here, so I won't be tempted."

"..." Based on these words, Evan felt that White Curtain was not very reliable, but the most important thing right now was to catch the main culprit.

They traveled through a wormhole to the next parallel universe, where, as expected, the interceptors appeared.

Bai Mu swung his weapon case to block the incoming bullets and then shot the gunman who was attacking him.

These people were locals who had been bought off by an illegal organization, not real people. Once this information was confirmed, the White Curtain showed no mercy.

If these people are all from reality, killing so many of them would cause the spread of the alternate dream source to become extremely serious.

Let alone the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, even organizations that utilize the Source of Other Dreams should think twice about whether they can control such other dreams.

"Hey!" After clearing out the interceptors, Bai Mu had another brilliant idea: "I've got another good idea!"

“…Stop talking.” Evan didn’t want to share his brilliant ideas with Bai Mu; he just wanted to catch the main culprit as soon as possible.

"That's a brilliant idea. Since your partner is only halfway to perfection right now, why not make him fully perfect? ​​Wouldn't that make hunting down criminals much easier?"

Evan retorted loudly, "That's not how the rules work!"

Some people have worried that if all parallel entities were to merge into one, it would cause serious consequences, such as a chain reaction that would lead to the collision and collapse of parallel universes.

Later, that illegal organization emerged and committed a series of major crimes. Although the Time Police solved many cases, they were unable to stop many others.

They acted so quickly that there were no clues before they actually started, and once they did, their efficiency was exceptionally high.

The illegal organization will lead its people to kill their way to the end, and without the intervention of the time police, this process will not be interrupted.

Therefore, the parallel universe collapse theory was refuted after the existence of 'unity' was confirmed.

"Damn it, why are they chasing us so relentlessly!" The boss was furious as he watched Bai Mu and his men catch up.

He had already given up on perfect enhancement and customization, but these time police were still sticking to him tightly.

Not only that, they also encountered another group of time police here.

"So what if I kill some clones!" The furious boss decided to pay more to take down White Curtain, not only in this alternate dream world, but also in reality.

Even if the other party is related to the Dream Disposal Bureau, it doesn't matter. His appearance hasn't been exposed. We can just find a professional to kill this guy.

It's one thing for the Dream Disposal Bureau to keep an eye on illegal organizations, but why are they targeting him?
“They’re colleagues.” Gabriel also spotted another pair of time police. Now that the two groups had met, the situation became even more chaotic. The time police were well-equipped and not easy to kill, but if a person was killed, they would die.

They are just more forgiving of mistakes, not superhumans who can dodge bullet comments.

During the operation, Bai Mu had already confirmed that the Time Police's equipment was far more sophisticated than anything he had seen in the movies. Although their guns were pistols, their bullets had an extremely high velocity. Gabriel could ignore ordinary pistols, but he couldn't withstand the firearms used by the Time Police.

The Time Police's protective gear is also quite good; their bulletproof vests are of higher quality and can withstand attacks from this kind of handgun.

There are also some dangerous gadgets used by the time police.

For example, that thing that looks like a jump... well, it's a small oval-shaped prop, it's a dangerous bomb that can melt everything within its range after it explodes.

It's a small tool for the Time Police to win battles, but the distribution of these items is quite strict.

Another group of time police officers brought out such bombs, and Gabriel immediately went to provide support.

The white curtain immediately hid in another place.

Evan glanced at him, assuming he was going to provide long-range support. Although White Curtain had demonstrated strong close-combat capabilities, long-range snipers were more useful in chaotic battles.

At least he can provide the fastest support to the time police who are being besieged.

"Go and kill him! I'll pay more!" The boss, who had been staring intently at the white curtain, exuded an imposing aura.

"Kill him," the masked man said to the person next to him.

The masked men who received the order quickly left; they were slower than Gabriel, but still far faster than ordinary people.

Gabriel wanted to stop them, but he was also held back and could only feel a little sympathy for the masked men.

"Ok?"

Seeing the masked men charging towards him, Bai Mu tentatively fired two shots. These men reacted quickly and were able to dodge bullets.

The masked man initially dodged the bullets, but once he got close to the white curtain, he immediately unleashed an even faster attack.

Two fists can't beat four hands. These masked men have a total of seventeen hands, the missing one of which has been modified into a weapon, making them look extremely dangerous.

There weren't this many masked people in the previous parallel universe, but so many have appeared here, clearly indicating that they intend to completely resolve the trouble here.

As the masked men approached, they suddenly pulled out guns and opened fire on the white curtain.

The Imperial Arms granted him future vision, allowing him to foresee these people's actions. The white curtain quickly ricocheted off its original position, and the powerful bullets hit nothing but empty air.

Having evaded the initial attacks from the masked men, the white curtain locked onto the boss, with subtle green currents coursing through the weapon crates.

Bai Mu aimed the Spirit Pivot at a masked man, who quickly dodged, but Bai Mu still fired.

The mental shock bullet, carrying a green electric current, formed a spear of lightning. This attack pierced through the wall, smashed through the street lamp, and left a scorching heat mark on the broken lamp before reaching the boss.

"I……"

The attack came too fast. The boss, who had been customized and enhanced, didn't have time to speak before being hit by the attack from the white curtain. He had some kind of protective item on him, but the item only worked for a short time before it was pierced.

The masked man next to him reacted quickly, knocking the boss away, but seeing the boss's head half-burnt, he knew the boss was beyond saving.

The masked man was enraged. "Dreamwalker, are you out of your mind to attack me?!"

They were surrounded and then attacked their boss! Seriously, we're all outsiders, why are they so ruthless towards their own people?!

The other team received support, and the time police, who had temporarily abandoned their plan to perish together, were also a little stunned. They looked at Evan and Gabriel, who were about to reunite.

His eyes were full of questions: What's the purpose of the people you brought?

Although they also have the right to kill the ringleaders, they usually focus on arresting them. This behavior may seem unnecessary, but it has a significant impact on the operation.

Just like when the time police were chasing Yulan, although Yulan committed a series of murders and killed 'himself', he was very smart in the process and did not kill any unrelated people.

Based on this, the time police primarily focus on arresting suspects rather than killing them outright.

The current actions against this illegal organization are for similar reasons; although they engage in illegal activities, they rarely affect innocent people.

Those gang members who engage in the drug trade and force people into prostitution are not innocent people.

If the time police directly use the method of killing the ringleader, the actions of this illegal organization will also become extreme.

The White Curtain could launch a decapitation strike, which isn't impossible, but doing it so directly would enrage the illegal organization...

"He's not our colleague!" Evan quickly explained in response to his colleague's question. He should have thought of this earlier; Bai Mu had been emphasizing 'hunt' rather than 'pursuit' all along.

On the masked man's side, he appeared near the white curtain in the blink of an eye, as if by teleportation. Dense fog formed around him, and this fog had a strong interference effect.

It even affected the performance of the Observer Imperial Arm; in the reddish mist, only a blurry figure could be seen through the white curtain.

The masked man is enraged!
