Dream Travel

Chapter 178 Would you like to order two more dishes?

The enraged masked man wanted to beat the white curtain half to death on the spot to make up for the loss.

This guy is a Dreamwalker after all, and he can still provide a lot of usefulness. White Curtain killed the employer, and this matter needs to be explained.

In the reddish mist, the masked man moved erratically like a ghost, his already fast speed increasing even more within the mist.

The Observer Imperial Arms lost its effect as a result, and a patch of mist suddenly condensed into a sharp blade around the white curtain.

The blade sliced ​​through the white curtain at an odd angle, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on its body.

"?" Bai Mu looked down at the Ling Shu gun. He tried to defend himself, but the sharp blade formed by the mist passed right through the weapon. This thing couldn't be blocked by ordinary means.

Holding her breath, Bai Mu slammed the weapon crate heavily onto the ground. As the ground cracked, snake-like green electricity spread out along the cracks.

The powerful masked man and the other masked men were caught off guard and engulfed in the electric shock attack.

Those with weak constitutions were electrocuted on the spot, while those with strong constitutions could only groan.

The masked man who could control the fog was even more resistant. He convulsed in the fog, enduring the pain of being electrocuted. With a wave of his hands, the surrounding fog condensed into sharp blades, piercing the white curtain from different angles.

Having already learned this lesson the hard way, Bai Mu immediately increased the discharge output of the weapon box and incidentally flung out the metal wire.

The metal wires landed on the masked man, and with the conductor's guidance, the current released from the weapon box became more concentrated.

The masked man finally couldn't withstand the attack and could no longer maintain the blade-like mist. As the mist blades disappeared, his ghostly figure returned to normal, and he lay limply on the ground.

Bai Mu took a slight breath and tugged at the metal wire hanging on the weapon case, but the masked man did not react.

Seeing this, he released electricity through the weapon box again. The green lightning rods traveled along the metal wires to the masked man, who only twitched once and then became still.

This time, they're completely and utterly dead.

Fragments of the spirit were generated, but before they could be captured by the weapon box, they were destroyed by Dream Erosion.

The white curtain that they reached out to grab was injured by the sudden dream erosion, leaving their hands with messy black dream erosion marks.

"What the hell!" Bai Mu was extremely dissatisfied that he had failed to capture the opponent's mental fragments.

This masked man's ability to release mist is quite good; it can capture fragments of the opponent's mind. In future battles, I can directly activate the mist concealment.

If we collaborate on development, the electrical current released by the weapon crate might even be conducted through the fog.

Unable to get what he wanted, Bai Mu looked at the others with ill intent.

After disassembling the Ling Shu sniper rifle and stuffing it into the weapon case, he took out the Dream Erosion Greatsword and charged forward.

The employer was dead, the boss was dead, and the remaining gunmen had no will to continue fighting; some fled, and some died.

"You were too impulsive!" After the battle ended, Evan walked straight over, not showing anger, but rather a sense of inner conflict.

From a personal perspective, he believes that Bai Mu did the right thing; killing the main culprit could have prevented many things from happening. However, from his standpoint, Bai Mu's actions were too radical and would have serious consequences.

“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I really hope they come and take revenge on me.” Bai Mu stuffed the Dream Erosion Greatsword back into its weapon case: “That way, I can investigate them more effectively.”

"..." Evan and Gabriel couldn't help but exchange a glance. Is this the quality of an enforcer from another universe?
That's incredibly virtuous!

"Come back with us first." Evan didn't waste any more words.

The origins of the White Curtain are unknown, but they are indeed fighting against illegal organizations, and their application has been approved by headquarters.

Next, they will bring the white curtain to the universe where headquarters is located.

"Won't I be detained?"

Gabriel assured him, "No, but since you are an enforcer from the 'outer universe,' the necessary questioning will still be conducted. Do you have anything to prove your identity?"

Does that kind of thing have any meaning?

The white curtain's rhetorical question left Gabriel speechless; they knew far too little about the so-called 'outer universe,' and this information was obtained from core members of an illegal organization.

They have arrested members of those illegal organizations, but the results haven't been good; they seemed very cooperative while in custody.

However, cooperating does not mean they are willing to confess and receive leniency, and the headquarters of the Time Police cannot execute them on the spot because they know important intelligence.

So they had no choice but to continue detaining them, and then those people were 'rescued,' leading headquarters to believe that there was a mole within their ranks.

After investigation, they discovered that the detained members of the illegal organization had simply vanished into thin air.

They have no way to retaliate against this. The only thing they can be sure of is that those who are caught disappear within 2 to 7 days.

Moreover, it's difficult for them to tell who will disappear, as illegal organizations from outer space recruit locals and train local thugs.

If ten people are captured, there might only be one person from another universe, and headquarters won't be able to accurately identify them until their identities are revealed.

So after encountering the 'enforcers' from outer space, headquarters still took Bai Mu seriously. Since they were enforcers from outer space, they should have ways to deal with these people, right? The wormhole opened, and Bai Mu arrived near the headquarters of the Time Police. Considering Bai Mu's combat power, the Time Police did not intend to send him to headquarters.

They arranged to meet him in a nearby area, and the two sides had a fairly routine discussion. Bai Mu was just a half-baked person and was not really a member of the Bureau of Handling Cases.

It was as if he was from the Bureau of Investigation, or perhaps he had obtained a lot of 'insider' information from Borei.

Moreover, there are some things he finds difficult to express his opinion on, so he is good at changing the subject.

"This is holy oil, specially used to deal with demons. Let me tell you, when I first encountered a demon, I was just one bottle of this high-quality holy oil away from being able to make demon flammable food."

White Curtain showed Gabriel what he was carrying. Gabriel's smile was a little forced. White Curtain was really good at making things up, going from the Second Industrial Revolution to demons.

Of course he knew about the Second Industrial Revolution; his parallel universe Earth had experienced it. Later, after encountering a time agent who betrayed his principles, his life trajectory changed drastically.

"There's also this holy water. Although it's not as potent as holy oil, it's more irritating to wounds than alcohol."

“…We don’t have any demons here.” Gabriel tried to steer the conversation back on track; he had basically visited all 125 parallel universes.

Those parallel universes contain all sorts of strange things, but overall they are not much different; the only difference lies in the development of technology.

He was certain that demons did not exist in his world!
"That's not necessarily true. Those invaders might bring some local specialties."

Finally, some useful information! Gabriel quickly jotted down this key point.

“This was given to me by a nun. Don’t look so strange. If there are demons, there must be nuns. But the nuns around me don’t know Jesus.”

“Oh, oh…” Gabriel was stunned for a while. That was indeed quite unique, but could we please not let the topic revolve around demons?
What they want to know is about that illegal organization.

Evan pushed the door open and walked in. He couldn't stand it anymore. He thought Gabriel and White Curtain looked a bit like 'fellow countrymen' and that it would be more appropriate for them to talk.

The two of them started talking about other things. Are they going to order a couple more dishes later?

"For the sake of our cooperation, you should share some meaningful intelligence!"

"I don't know, otherwise why would I be investigating?" Bai Mu said matter-of-factly, while putting away all the holy water and holy oil.

"You must have a reason for coming to investigate, right?"

"Hmm...we do have that." Bai Mu thought for a moment, then looked at Evan: "What about you guys? What intelligence have you prepared?"

"Regarding the information on members of illegal organizations, since you are law enforcement officers from the 'outer universe,' you can also conduct investigations in your own universe with this information."

Bai Mu nodded: "I need the paper documents."

“No problem,” Evan replied quickly.

“I’m here to investigate the issue of ‘coordinates’. The illegal organization you’re monitoring is abusing ‘sub-coordinates’, which has caused a crisis on my end as well.”

"Coordinates? Is that why you were able to come here?" Evan frowned. This was very unfair. The White Curtain had coordinates, but they had nothing.

Furthermore, based on the intelligence we have gathered so far, it seems that the members of this illegal organization have not disclosed any information related to coordinates.

"Originally there was only one coordinate, but certain organizations created special sub-coordinates, which led to the current situation."

"Too simple, we need more detailed information."

Bai Mu shrugged: "I was just talking about an outsourcing project, how could I know so many details? Or should I go back and relay your requirements?"

"Aren't you a law enforcement officer?"

"Isn't what I'm doing now exactly what law enforcement officers do? Where is what I want?"

Evan stared at him for a while, then left to prepare the necessary items.

Bai Mu started chatting with Gabriel again: "Shall we prepare a couple of dishes later, and then discuss the battle?"

"You want to learn martial arts?" Gabriel understood what White Curtain meant.

"I want to learn!"

Gabriel was at a loss for words in response to Bai Mu's unwavering answer. He wanted to tell Bai Mu that it was a bit late and that with Bai Mu's combat strength, he didn't really need to learn those things.

After all, the Baguazhang he learned could strengthen his body and was indeed good at fighting several people, but since his strength increased significantly, the use of Baguazhang began to be 'simplified'.

Daily practice is more about understanding the underlying principles, improving control over one's own strength, developing the lower limit of strength utilization, and making the use of strength more flexible and controlled.

After all, his current physical abilities are beyond what can be achieved through martial arts training alone, unless he has learned not only Baguazhang, but also the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms that can directly unleash golden dragons...

He doesn't know the kind of martial arts in wuxia novels, but there are many ways to develop and maximize one's strength. He can improve through other training methods without practicing martial arts.

As for the upper limit, they're no longer ordinary people; they should find some more advanced ways to improve.
