Dream Travel

Chapter 200 Another Misjudgment
"Has there been any improvement?" This was what Bai Mu cared about.

Luciela stared at the white curtain, panting heavily: "No!"

Not only did she not feel anything, but that one bite felt like she had swallowed an ice cube of unbearable weight, leaving her completely numb.

The frost on her body didn't have much of an effect on her, but the discomfort was real. The culprit, however, was more concerned about the outcome of the experiment.

"I see." Bai Mu was a little disappointed.

If Lucy Aila can really eat these ghosts, then she has found a way to upgrade her energy source.

The city is never short of wandering ghosts, but Luciela can't eat them.

Bai Mu tried to reason with her for a long time, but Lucy was still not appeased: "I want to twist your head off!"

"Uh, okay then, let's keep our distance for a while."

Lucyella's words may not have been intended to be a double entendre, but White Curtain interpreted them as such.

As an awakened catgirl with a big mouth, Luciela has a big appetite.

No matter which end you twist, it won't work.

The white curtain dispelled Luciela's illusion and quickly left the place where she had made her daring attempt, returning to her safe house.

Lucyella's inability to eat the Tech Ghosts disappointed him, but his mission couldn't be halted because of it.

Bai Mu collected the iron filings; today he planned to take down anyone who could interfere with his scanning.

People who use map-opening tools definitely don't like other map-opening tools.

If you encounter a competitor, kill them first.

"That Dreamwalker has started making moves again."

Inside the nuclear power plant, the members of the Dream Organization immediately discovered the White Curtain's whereabouts. Drones began to closely monitor him, and Ghost quickly approached the White Curtain's location.

The white curtain, however, discovered unusual traces.

The tire tracks were brand new, and there was relatively fresh blood. What happened here last night? Bai Mu, who didn't arrive in time, felt like he missed out on a fortune.

"here we go again."

After scanning the area and discovering dozens of ghosts around, Bai Mu clicked his tongue, just like yesterday.

Mental scanning becomes ineffective beyond a certain distance, making it unable to detect ghosts further away.

Once discovered, they were all taken over.

There must be a new person with mental abilities.

Bai Mu's eyes turned silver, and the enhancement from the release of his demonic energy greatly improved his physical abilities. He climbed the ruins and walls, using the high vantage point to search for any potential hidden psychic abilities users.

Based on the range of the ghost's sudden appearance, the white curtain located the target relatively accurately.

Two people within a range of about 200 meters.

Without any hesitation, Bai Mu rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

"We've been exposed!" A psychic immediately notified his teammates, and the ghosts around them sprang into action to intercept the white curtain.

"Also, he's not a psychic; he must have discovered us through some other means."

The psychic who spoke was very certain that if Bai Mu were a psychic, he wouldn't be searching for them in this way; the organization had misjudged the situation.

However, this mistake has no impact on the current operation. Since Bai Mu dares to come directly at them, they can kill him.

Although the white curtain dispersed many ghosts, it didn't mean he could ignore their threat. The unique nature of the technological ghosts meant they could be injured if grazed and killed if they collided with them.

Although they are just grunts, they pose a significant threat to the strong, especially those extraordinary individuals who possess only exceptional physical abilities but lack special powers.

Without the right weapons, a few ghosts could overwhelm such superhumans.

These technological ghosts are too effective against physical enemies.

Several exceptionally agile ghosts quickly approached the white curtain, their weapons still ghost weapons. Using such weapons to deal with the incoming materials would kill them.

Bai Mu doesn't need to be captured alive, and besides, his physique is not weak, so he might not be instantly killed by the ghost weapon.

Furthermore, the Ghost Weapons possess a unique characteristic that allows their attacks to 'ignore defense' unless the target has ceramic armor or a shield with special powers.

boom!
Bai Mu swung his sword and cleaved away a ghost whose eyes had turned gold.

The exceptionally agile ghosts were only slightly affected by the iron filings; at most, they helped the white curtain better pinpoint their location.

The ghosts fight relentlessly, only attacking and not defending against the White Curtain's attacks. They simply wait to regenerate after being destroyed. The ghosts' unpredictable nature makes them extremely dangerous.

The giant sword crackling with lightning sliced ​​through a ghost, and the remaining ghosts, startled, quickly retreated to avoid the white curtain's follow-up attacks.

"Watch out for that sword," one of the ghosts said. Before they could continue their conversation, Bai Mu slammed the weapon case he was holding onto the ground, and the spreading thunderstorm engulfed the ghosts.

The powerful lightning strike fully revealed the ghost's form. The lightning's power made its body unstable and severely hampered its movements. Bai Mu killed them all with a single shot, but to his dismay, the ghost's weapons seemed to be bound to their bodies; when the ghost was destroyed, the weapons disappeared along with it.

"The problem of interference still cannot be completely solved." Inside the nuclear power plant, the organizers monitoring the battle via drones frowned.

The Ghost is a very useful weapon, but it is easily affected by certain types of energy, such as lightning.

In addition, there is the influence of the psychic ghosts. The ghosts' bodies are not true souls, but condensed forms. Their true bodies are elsewhere, which is why these ghosts possess the characteristic of immortality.

However, because of this connection, the ghosts are easily interfered with from the outside. They are already adjusting the relevant technologies to minimize the interference problem as much as possible.

However, the best approach is to allow the consciousness to completely merge with the condensed ghost.

However, such a fusion would cause the ghosts to lose their immortality, turning them directly from the Fourth Calamity into NPCs that would die if killed.

"Holy crap, this guy..." The two organization members were horrified as they looked at Bai Mu holding a weapon case and his body crackling with electricity.

The psychic released a mental attack to intercept the white curtain.

The white curtain surged forward and crashed solidly into the invisible mental barrier, causing blood to flow from its forehead.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he swung his sword and shattered the mental barrier, the wound on his forehead healing in the blink of an eye.

"So it's a Muggle..." the psychic muttered.

He figured it out: the lightning released by the white curtain came from that box, and the weapon's enchantment came from the metal wire wrapped around it.

Outside the white curtain, there were no ghosts, nor any special vision or other extraordinary perceptions.

If he had supernatural perception, he wouldn't be so stiff when dealing with ghosts.

As for how they were able to pinpoint their location, it was probably through some other means.

"Hen died a truly unjust death."

“That’s normal. Even superhumans can be killed by ordinary people.” The psychic shook his head. “So we still can’t be careless.”

The odds of an ordinary person winning a fight against a superhuman are very low, but some weapons that are powerful enough to threaten superhumans can also be used by ordinary people.

Bai Mu's physical performance is no different from that of a superhuman, except that he is a superhuman with a physical body system and does not have special perception. Although he has ways to enhance his physical abilities, these are standard equipment for warriors.

Both of them are superhumans, but they don't have the physical abilities that Bai Mu has shown, so it would be troublesome if they got close.

The distance was only two hundred meters, and there were many destroyed buildings blocking the way, but the white curtain still rushed over in a very short time.

"Watch out for his left eye."

The psychic gave a final warning, because the white curtain had already been drawn.

The weapon crate crackled with violent lightning, smashing through the wall and filling the entire dilapidated room with electricity.

The psychic's barrier blocked the attack, while nearby organization members drew their weapons and slashed at the white curtain, attracting the surrounding ghosts.

Staring at the organization member rushing towards him, Bai Mu quickly glanced at the psychic, whose expression faltered for a moment.

The psychic, now back to normal, roared, "Watch out!!"

"?" The organization member who had already rushed to Bai Mu's side was startled. Bai Mu, whose eyes had turned golden, rushed over even faster.

The wind pressure generated when the Dream Eater Greatsword was swung put him under immense pressure, and the violent lightning attached to it made the members of this organization suffer in silence.

He could only swing his weapon to defend himself. A weak mental barrier stood in front of him, but it was shattered by Bai Mu's sword.

The weapons the organization members used to block also deformed, and the ground beneath their feet could not withstand the weight and collapsed. He and Bai Mu fell from the third floor to the first floor.

The psychic quickly looked over and saw the white-clad weapon box smashing into his colleague's head.

He gritted his teeth and decisively chose to retreat. He had warned his colleagues to be careful of Bai Mu's left eye because there was an abnormal cross mark on Bai Mu's eyeball.

In his judgment, Bai Mu was just a Muggle who couldn't even be directly perceived by a mental barrier, so how could he have imagined that Bai Mu would actually possess 'illusion magic'?

This type of method has little effect on those with mental abilities, but that momentary lapse in concentration did prevent him from covering his teammates in time.

"Don't run!" Bai Mu looked up and saw that the psychic was running quite fast, but he didn't chase after him immediately. Instead, he threw out a handful of iron filings.

As expected, a significant portion of the scattered iron filings remained suspended in mid-air, revealing the ghost's physical outline.

Some of these ghosts are humanoid, while others are wild beasts.

Those beast-like ghosts are more dangerous than the humanoid ones.

Bai Mu did not continue the pursuit. He directly planted the Dream Erosion Greatsword into the ground, pressed the weapon box to the ground, and the rampant lightning spread out, making the unstable ghost move more slowly.

The sniper module of the Ling Shu firearm popped out of the weapon case and combined with the Ling Shu. Most of the rampant lightning was swept away by the Ling Shu, and a highly penetrating lightning pillar blasted through the wall.

The lightning bolt anticipated the psychic's next move, causing him to act as if he had deliberately run into the attack, and his body was instantly pierced by the incredibly fast strike.

Bai Mu then chased after them. He didn't deal with the ghosts whose movements were hindered. Crippled ghosts were useless; they had to be dispersed directly, but dispersing them would consume too much energy and wasn't worthwhile.
