Dream Travel

Chapter 185 What Train to Take

The authorization certificate from the processing bureau was more valuable than Bai Mu had imagined. After the local police confirmed its authenticity, they did not conduct any further verification.

After Bai Mu produced the wanted poster, the police said he was free to move around.

Although the head that Bai Mu brought back was somewhat frightening, once people knew that it belonged to the person who 'stole' the child, no one would feel sorry for it.

What's more, this guy is a psychopathic killer. What was thought to be a missing child turned out to be a child stolen by his scheme.

Looking at the torture marks on these children's bodies, one can imagine what their fate would have been without the arrival of the White Curtain.

Unfortunately, when these children went missing, most people assumed it was an accident, so they didn't invest much effort in the follow-up investigation and search.

The ocean is so vast that, if you're lucky, the bodies of the victims might be found; if you're unlucky, it's not surprising that they might have been eaten by some fish.

There really are fish in the ocean that can eat human flesh.

The children were taken to the town hospital, where doctors found that although they had suffered, their physical condition was relatively good.

Penetrating wounds on their limbs will cause them pain, but if they heal well, the impact on their limbs will not be too great.

Even if the horrific scars carved on the body heal, they will still exist like abnormal 'tattoos'.

The reason these kids are still alive and well is simply because Zoke hasn't had enough fun and hasn't completed his mission.

He had three black balls on him. He ate one of them, and the other one was broken because of the 'substitute' incident.

The last black ball found by the white curtain was gray, which means it probably didn't meet the required standard.

Once Zoke collects all three black balls, these kids will most likely be doomed.

The timeliness of the intelligence saved their lives.

The doctor treated the children's wounds very seriously. After they were completely safe, the children, who were emotionally distraught, kept crying and making a fuss, which was very annoying.

Especially after learning why these children stole the boat and went out to sea, the police officers present all felt that they were capable of causing trouble.

However, no one reprimanded these tormented children at this time. Children have the opportunity to make mistakes, but this time their mistakes almost cost them their lives.

After confirming that the child was out of danger, the child's parents wanted to express their gratitude, but they could no longer find the person behind the white curtain.

"So annoying!" Luciela sat on her bed in the hotel, feeling irritated by the noise of the crying children.

Therefore, Bai Mu immediately dragged her away from the scene. Since they were free to move around, what happened next was none of his business.

He took the bounty, but as for the gratitude from the children's parents? Bai Mu didn't need that.

"When I think back to my own childhood, I realize I deserved to be punished for a lot of things. Looking back, I'm actually quite lucky."

Tell me about it, make me happy.

Lucyella is interested in this.

"I'm not telling you." Of course, the fewer people who know about your embarrassing past, the better.

On Earth, he couldn't guarantee that he would be the only one who knew about this, and in this world, he was worried that too many people would know.
"Let's go back."

“Why don’t you stay here for the night? I think the train thing is pretty good.” Lucia stretched out her collar, revealing one of her shoulders.

"Why take the train? I'll ride with you." Bai Mu pulled her up. "Come on, let's go back tonight, or we'll get into trouble. I'll drive you around when we get back." Although she was very unhappy, Lucyella had no choice but to follow him, unable to disobey his orders.

The trouble Bai Mu mentioned was nothing more than the children's families. Whether it was excessive gratitude afterward or potential media interviews, neither of these were things he wanted to deal with.

He left as soon as he finished his business. To be honest, if it weren't for these kids, he wouldn't have bothered to come back.

Late at night, Luciela transformed back into her awakened form and, carrying the white curtain, sped towards Rota City.

Trains in this era weren't fast; Lucy Ella, running at full speed, was much faster than a train.

Doing this in broad daylight could easily make people think you're a monster and call the police, so you can only run away at night.

Lucy was very fast; she arrived in Rota City before dawn. When Bai Mu got home and checked the time, he found he could still sleep for three hours.

"...Then go to sleep."

Bai Mu wanted to sleep, but Luciela wouldn't let him go. Although he wasn't afraid of challenges, there was still a dead man's head lying around in the house.

Are you getting revenge on me?

“Yes.” Lucyella licked her lips like a cat, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous, predatory glint: “It allows me to get revenge on you while also satisfying myself. I like it this way!”

"Are you underestimating me? I can keep you waiting all day!"

Bai Mu clicked his tongue. If it were an ordinary person, he thought they would be asking to take a break soon.

But is he an ordinary person now?
Leaving aside the restorative power brought by demonic energy, which is mainly used to heal physical injuries, the restorative power brought by Dream Erosion ingredients is all-encompassing.

When there is no physical injury, he recovers from other depleting activities. Although such recovery also requires external supplementation, his body's reserves are enough to sustain him for a long time.

Lucyella believed half of what Bai Mu said, because Bai Mu had been very impressive before, but she didn't believe it all day!
The next afternoon, Bai Mu went to the vegetable market to buy groceries while yawning.

"No need to cut it, give me this half of the pork. Wait, what kind of animal is this meat?" The white curtain pointing to the half of the pork saw the meat next to it and asked the butcher.

It looked like pork, but it was more than ten times more expensive than the half-portion of pork he had his eye on.

The half-pig he was interested in cost over 300 yuan, while the other half cost over 5,000 yuan.

"The meat of the Wild Boar King is especially loved by those with superhuman abilities," the butcher casually remarked.

"real or fake?"

“Superhumans are human too, they need to eat, how could it be fake?” The butcher pointed to the business license hanging on the wall: “Selling fakes will get you dealt with by the market supervision administration, and even if they don’t, I can’t afford to offend superhumans.”

"Then I'll take this one." Bai Mu gave up the half-portion of pork he had just picked out.

"Would you like someone to deliver it to your door?" The butcher's attitude became even more enthusiastic. This kind of wild boar meat is very expensive. Superhumans would indeed eat it, but ordinary people can also eat it.

However, ordinary people generally don't buy too much, partly because it's expensive, and partly because it's too nutritious.

As for whether Bai Mu can finish what he buys, or whether eating too much will lead to hospitalization, that's none of his business. All the meat he buys meets the standards.

Selling this is like selling radishes and ginseng. Some people buy two pounds of radishes and eat them all, and at most they'll just be stuffed. But some people buy two pounds of ginseng and eat them all. Can you say that's the merchant's problem?

He had already warned them that it was a white lie to cause problems with the food. The butcher just wanted to sell it as quickly as possible. This stuff wasn't cost-effective for ordinary people; the longer it sat there, the less profit they would make.
