Dream Travel

Chapter 199 You really deserve to die

"What is that guy doing?" Through covert surveillance, the people from the Elvik Disposal Bureau watched the white curtain running around.

They just felt that White Curtain's actions were too crazy. They had done the same thing before, but they learned their lesson after paying a heavy price.

Those technological ghosts are unkillable, but their people are simply gone once they die.

Moro provided White Curtain with a lot of information, but all of it was information that could be obtained normally; anyone with the ability could find it in a short time.

Moreover, there is a Dream Management Bureau supporting them behind the scenes, so there is no need to hide anything too much.

But Moreau didn't tell Whitebeard more important information, such as the types of tech ghosts.

Those things weren't just humanoid; they came in other forms as well, and there was a great variety of them.

White Curtain is now besieged by a large number of ghosts. Lacking a safe house and isolated, how can he survive?
"Do you need help?"

“He’s not worth our sacrifice to help,” said the base director of the Elvik Disposal Bureau. “Just make sure the target doesn’t steal his head.”

The life or death of the White Curtain is not important; what matters is that the White Curtain cannot disrupt some of their operations.

But now, the white curtain has actually helped them attract a lot of attention, which is quite good.

After giving his instructions, the base commander began arranging another operation.

They don't have much time.

After shooting down the approaching ghost, Bai Mu glanced around and flung the metal wire away.

These metal wires cannot stop ghosts, but the current on them attracts iron filings, and the current itself interferes with ghosts.

Not only did it prevent the ghosts from getting close easily, but it also restricted their movements.

The metal wires that Bai Mu flung out formed a special cage around the area. After a certain number of ghosts gathered, Bai Mu's weapon box released a large amount of lightning.

The surrounding environment transformed into a lightning field, disintegrating the gathered ghosts. However, the mental scan revealed that more ghosts were still approaching.

Without wasting any more time, Bai Mu retrieved the metal wire, blasted open the floor beneath his feet with a single shot, and sank into it.

Taking advantage of the moment when the ghost appeared, he quickly escaped. Continuing the battle would be disadvantageous for him.

His physical and mental strength were constantly being depleted, while the number of ghosts did not decrease much.

Most importantly, physical attacks are not very effective against these creatures.

He didn't initially think Mine's gun was cool or want to get the same one, but when he encountered this strange dream world, his first thought was to retreat.

But now... there's still a chance.

Although he might not be able to defeat that Otherworldly Organization, it wouldn't stop him from grinding monsters here.

Is Bai Mu's first time in this strange dream world, and he can't do anything big or small?
Besides, it's not like he didn't have a chance.

"He ran away..." Inside the base, the supervisor was a little disappointed that Bai Mu had run away; he still hoped that Bai Mu would die there.

The stronger the White Curtain's capabilities, the more detrimental it will be to some of their plans.

Especially during this period, the supervisor did not want too many personnel changes within the Dream Organization.

Unfortunately, their influence over the city was weak. Once the White Curtain escaped their surveillance area, they could no longer keep track of its movements.

Of course, you can try to find out, but doing so would increase the likelihood of the base being exposed.

It wasn't easy for the Elvik Disposal Bureau to set up a base in this Dream World, especially since this is the Dream Organization's home turf. If the base is exposed, they will have to retreat.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the endless stream of ghosts.

The Elwick Disposal Bureau has some very capable fighters, but even they can't defeat an overwhelming number of ghosts.

Not to mention taking down that nuclear power plant.

Having built up its network to the point where it has secured powerful figures within the Dream World, how could the Dream Organization possibly make a mistake at its most crucial production base?
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry." Bai Mu looked at the headless skeleton at his feet, quickly apologized, and then moved the corpse aside: "Excuse me, could you move aside?"

Having finally found a safe house, he certainly wouldn't miss it, but this safe house didn't seem very safe.

The head of the body was clearly severed. Judging from the traces at the scene, the safe house was likely exposed, and the person hiding inside was attacked and killed.

“Hmm…” After staring at the skeleton for a while, Bai Mu gave up on making unprofessional judgments. He rubbed his forehead and did not summon Luciela.

The frequent battles had left him somewhat exhausted, so he didn't linger in the safe house for long. After collecting some iron filings, Bai Mu quickly left to find the next safe location.

It wasn't until nightfall that the white screen finally scanned a relatively safe area.

"Phew~ Why am I not a mage?" Sitting on a tattered sofa, Bai Mu didn't care about the dust on it anymore.

Having finally found a safe place, he needed to rest.

While eating his dry rations, he pondered some of the existing intelligence, such as the issue of entering another dream through the other dream terminal.

Whether it's the previous dream or this one, they both seem to be very far from the source of the dream.

"Let's go to sleep first."

Bai Mu rubbed his stomach. The dry rations hadn't filled him up, but considering the upcoming mission, he didn't eat too much.

During the daytime battles, he tried his best not to use his demonic energy release in order to avoid excessive consumption.

Otherwise, he could have used up all the food he brought in one meal.

Even in the dead of night, the ghosts' activities did not cease.

In some parts of the city, people have entered this war-torn city. They are not outsiders, but natives of the dream world.

There are spies and others among them who want to uncover the city's secrets.

After all, this place is sealed off by the military, and the reason for this has aroused the curiosity of many people. Some suspect that they are secretly researching technologies here that could change the world order.

Some people want to make money by gathering intelligence here.

"New materials have arrived; prepare to receive them."

For the Dreamers organization, these people are research materials.

The beacon nations that cooperate with them will regularly 'deliver' a batch of suitable test subjects. Regardless of whether these test subjects are difficult to handle, their bodies are certainly strong enough.

The Otherworld Organization is constantly improving its related technologies, which consumes a lot of experimental subjects.

With a constant supply of experimental subjects, their technology is being improved very quickly.

As these people 'infiltrated' the city, two vehicles drove out of the nuclear power plant, and some of the people who had infiltrated the city discovered the two vehicles.

The two transport vehicles weren't moving fast. They were there to investigate, so they certainly wouldn't miss this anomaly within the city.

Some people even felt very lucky.

However, after tracking for a while, the more professional observers noticed that the atmosphere around them was somewhat unusual.

"This is..." An agent looked at a weapon on the ground with a puzzled expression. It was a bit ridiculous for a cold weapon to be found here, but he noticed something unusual about it. This weapon incorporated some ceramic material.

What could possibly lead to the presence of such weapons in this city?
The agent examining the weapon glanced around sharply, his keen eyes not preventing the weapon from being taken from his hand.

The problem is he can't see what took his weapon!

The agent's eyes widened: "What the hell is that?!"

He watched helplessly as the invisible entity that had taken the weapon moved aside and picked up something else. Upon seeing that thing, the agent's pupils dilated in shock.

That thing is a lasso.

"Ah—" Without any hesitation, the agent turned and ran, but tripped and fell to the ground. A riot fork pinned him to the ground, a noose was put around his neck, and he was dragged away.

The agent's screams alerted others, but by then it was too late.

A large number of ghosts picked up or abducted overly curious intruders, taking them away right in front of them.

The infiltrators resisted, but pistols posed no threat to them.

The infiltrators' operation ended quickly. The two transport trucks arrived safely outside the city, leaving behind a large number of boxes before departing.

Not long after, soldiers arrived and packed up the boxes to take them away.

Their proficient operating procedures indicate that they have done this more than once.

Back at the base, the boxes were opened, revealing a series of 'black boxes' inside.

It's not very big; it's more than enough to fit a human head inside. Not only that, it also has an interface for operation.

Some of the black boxes were secretly sent to other war zones for use in the war, while a small portion was sent to laboratories for decryption and research.

The next day, Bai Mu yawned sleepily. He hadn't slept very soundly, so he didn't recover well from the sleep, but he felt much better than the day before.

The city is so desolate. If it were more abundant in produce, he could let Lucy Ella have a big meal.

After that, she can be a 'gatekeeper old woman' and I can finally rest in peace.

He would never have considered letting Lucy Ella escape the city to join the army that was blocking the area.

So let's just forget about it?

Why--!
A flash of inspiration struck Bai Mu. He suddenly slammed his fist down, summoning Luciela: "Can you eat ghosts?"

Lucy Ella, who had just appeared, stared blankly at the white screen.

Looking at Bai Mu's expression and listening to his words, Luciela knew that this guy had relapsed, and was quite ill.

"I am serious!"

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Luciela was very unhappy with Bai Mu's suggestion. What did he take her for? It was one thing to chew iron, but now he wanted her to eat some random stuff?
"I've already tried it."

"that's me!"

"Oh, that's not important. Let's go try. I'll try to catch a ghost for you later. See if you can eat it. Maybe it'll even be beneficial."

"..." Lucyella fell silent. If she could be enhanced, then it wouldn't be unacceptable.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

As Whitebeard's secret weapon, Luciela won't be making an appearance right now, so Whitebeard will have to handle the rest of the operation himself.

Bai Mu pulled a metal wire from the weapon case, grabbed a scope, and went outside.

He found a wandering ghost, swung out a lightning-infused metal wire, and in the instant the ghost struggled, he packed it up and took it away.

The ghost resisted, but lightning and the iron filings scattered all over his body by the white curtain restricted his movements.

"Hmm?" Inside the nuclear power plant, an organization member frowned slightly as he looked at a red dot that had been marked in red. He arranged for a drone to investigate, but found very few traces.

Out of caution, he reported the matter, but after the report was completed, the red dot disappeared, which meant that a ghost active outside had been eliminated.

He was used to this; besides the locals, there were outsiders in this city, including business owners, government officials, and even savages.

The boss goes without saying; he's their primary client.

Although custom-made ghosts do not require the owner to come in person, some cautious owners will send someone to watch over them to prevent them from 'embezzling'.

They welcomed these people, saying that doing business requires integrity, and that embezzlement was impossible; there were only normal production losses.

To ensure the ghost could be taken out safely, all the materials used in its creation were from real sources.

Whether it's biological materials or the materials used in the device, this ensures that the processed ghosts can be successfully taken out.

Of course, occasional unexpected events may occur, since local technology is being used.

The "wild man" refers to a wild dream walker or similar being who obtains the Dream Terminal.

These dreamwalkers are like materials delivered to your door; you won't miss them if you encounter them. However, under normal circumstances, many savages are mistakenly killed by ghosts.

Occasionally, there are ghosts that have been killed by savages.

Then there are the people from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, who are also the enemies they need to be most wary of.

Although some agencies are incompetent, they were unlucky enough to encounter agencies that were not entirely incompetent, making it impossible to reach a normal cooperation agreement.

The other party is the type who wants it all, so there's not much to say about that; the Dream Organization knows what they're up to.

They are the kind of people who would be executed if caught.

If they didn't have so many problems and simply transferred the technology to reality and put it into use, then no matter how much trouble they caused, the authorities would have a hard time finding them.

The Bureau of Handling Matters can't cover that far, but since this matter is directly related to Yimeng, the Bureau of Handling Matters can intervene at will.

Therefore, they have been trying to find a way to eliminate the city's handling bureau action group.

But those guys were also good at hiding. After suffering a few losses, they found a way to deal with the ghosts.

Not wanting to waste too much time on this, the Yimeng organization then focused on the relocation work.

As long as the number of lost ghosts is within acceptable limits, new ones can be produced quickly after they are consumed.

"How are you?" Bai Mu asked Luciela, whose body was covered in frost.

"You deserve to die!!" Luciela grabbed Bai Mu's collar in anger; she had believed Bai Mu's lies!

The ghost that Bai Mu had captured struggled fiercely, so she didn't hesitate, nor did she have the ability to. She immediately awakened an arm, which generated sharp teeth and bit down on it.

And then this is how it happened: the ghost's low temperature severely damaged the awakened arm, and even affected the main body.

If she hadn't already died, she would have lost an arm from that bite.
