Dream Travel

Chapter 211 What about the illegal ones?
I wanted to try out Lucy Ella, who was stronger than the Abyss Ones, but now I want to try out another aspect of White Veil's strength.

She was already able to use Bai Mu's demonic energy, and wanted to plunder some other energy from Bai Mu as well.

"We'll talk about it when we get home." Bai Mu pushed away the catgirl who tried to cling to him and looked into the distance.

Brawl Stars isn't bad, it's just that his head is too valuable now, making him vulnerable to ambushes. When is a person most vulnerable? When taking a dump... ugh.

In short, I'm quite vulnerable at times.

The white curtain moved to a different location and summoned the phantoms one by one, allowing them to showcase their talents.

It means hunting.

If White Curtain doesn't want to maintain Luciela's existence at full cost, then she will inevitably have to go hunting in the deep mountains and forests.

The ecological environment of this world is quite good, and with the influence of the strange dreams, there are a large number of different kinds of creatures.

You can find plenty if you look in the mountains and forests.

Those beings that can be made into condensed ghosts all possess considerable combat power, but unfortunately, these are all combat personnel, not technical personnel.

Anyone who knows how to process dream-eroded materials is incredibly lucky.

The state of condensed ghosts affects their performance, but in the state of phantom summoning, their power can be exerted normally, only the consumption is supplied by the white curtain's mental energy.

After feeding Luciela, Bai Mu gained a general understanding of the combat power of these mental fragments.

Any one of them could kill a lion or other common wild beast with their bare hands without sustaining any injury.

If they encounter a beast that surpasses ordinary wild animals, some people may not be able to withstand it.

In general, even the weakest among these people could easily kill more than ten ordinary people; they were all ruthless characters.

Those two demons know magic, but the magic they possess is demonic magic. Humans can learn it, but they need to master some demonic power to do so.

The power of demons is not difficult to master; one can either sign a pact with a demon to borrow its power or inject demon blood.

Those who consider themselves highly talented can also try to improve demonic spells and make them usable on their own.

However, White Curtain is a Muggle and doesn't have that talent, so it's not very realistic for him to learn demonic magic.

Bai Mu still wanted to learn how to imprison souls from these two demons, but the weapon box's ability to collect spirit fragments was not strong.

Perhaps due to a lack of initiative, since it was made from materials of the Banshee Queen, this thing is not the real Banshee Queen.

If it were a living Banshee Queen, she could create a vast network of mental fragment capture, and anyone who died within that range would be caught in the crossfire.

“They can do odd jobs,” Lucyella said casually, having finished her meal.

"Even when doing odd jobs, you have to consider the cost-effectiveness." Bai Mu yawned. "Go home and sleep. You drive."

"Is this okay?" Lucyella asked eagerly.

"In the middle of nowhere, just floor the gas pedal." Bai Mu briefly explained how to drive to her, and then let her figure it out on her own, since she wouldn't crash into anything anyway.

To his disappointment, he encountered no attacks along the way and returned to Rota City smoothly.

"You can do it yourself, I'm going to take a nap." After returning home, Bai Mu sent Luciela away.

Lucy Ella didn't stand on ceremony. She rummaged through her closet for the clothes she had bought, changed into them, and couldn't wait to go out.

During this outing, she discovered that her range of movement had expanded, and indeed, as the White Curtain's strength increased, her freedom also increased.

However, it cannot cover the entire city, so there are still not enough places for her to visit.

Back home, looking at Bai Mu sleeping like a log, Luciela frowned slightly, wanting to urge Bai Mu to go find a new dream.

If she can't beat this guy, so be it. Her demands aren't high; she just wants Bai Mu to expand her operational range to Rota City.

Then you can sleep in as much as you want under the white curtain.

"It's almost evening, wake up." Lucyella pushed the white curtain aside.

"It's getting late, so we should be sleeping even more."

"Are you able to sleep?"

Bai Mu yawned: "Of course I can sleep."

"Now that I'm back, how can you still sleep?"

“That’s right, let’s eat first.” Bai Mu planned to treat himself to a hot pot meal, but then realized there were no ingredients at home. Looking at Lucy Ella’s new clothes, he said, “You should have bought some meat when you came back.”

"I can't guarantee that the meat you bring back is the kind of meat you want to eat."

"I think you want to go to the dark room." Bai Mu got dressed and went to buy ingredients. He had a big appetite and could quickly finish even high-quality ingredients.

He felt he should find some new 'rations', preferably the kind that would last a long time if he ate a little.

Whether using demonic energy release will cause one to go berserk depends not only on mental strength but also on one's own energy consumption.

When people are not hungry or even full, they will not be tempted by a lot of delicious food, and may even feel uncomfortable about it.

When you're starving, it's a different story. Reason? Reason evaporates.

As long as he can eat his fill, he can maintain the release of demonic energy for a long time.

Inside the Rota City Administrative Bureau, the personnel from the Elwick Administrative Bureau left; this time, they did not linger in Rota City. A new cooperation agreement had been reached; if they couldn't achieve the best outcome, they would strive for one that was acceptable to both sides.

Although it's a bit unpleasant that their efforts were taken, they initially planned to take the fruits of another organization, the Other Dreams, but now one person has become two.

Although there are still some details to discuss, those matters involve cross-border cooperation and are beyond their scope for negotiation.

In any case, the two agencies have reached an agreement.

Join forces to take down the Dream Organization, and then share the acquired technology and equipment.

Let's put the matter of the white curtain behind us for now. After all, he was just an operative, acting according to the arrangements of the Rota City Disposal Bureau.

Once everything is settled, there's no need to keep an eye on someone who carries out orders.

If there's anything wrong with them, it's the Rota Disposal Bureau itself. They don't do human things and specifically hire radical temporary workers like White Curtain.

If they had just hired some steady, reliable temporary workers and been more conservative, this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

They didn't come away empty-handed from this agreement; at least they obtained additional intelligence from the Rota City Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The existence of the Otherworld Source has changed. The Otherworld Organization has betrayed the Otherworld Source, and their cooperation has collapsed, meaning that it will be very difficult for the Otherworld Organization to contact the Otherworld Source again in the future.

The number of associated alternate dream terminals is unlikely to increase due to the changes in the alternate dream source, which can be considered as completing a superficial task.

As for finding the source of this strange dream... well, let's talk about that after we find the headquarters of the Strange Dream Organization.

After dealing with that organization, the location of the Otherworldly Dream Source will no longer be a secret.

Maybe the Otherworldly Dream Organization discovered that the Otherworldly Dream Source was out of control and simply dumped it in some deserted area. There are quite a few people who do such despicable things.

Searching in desert areas will reveal many sources of strange dreams; desolate places are often natural graveyards for strange dreams.

Now that the cooperation was agreed upon, they quickly took action. They acquired the equipment from the Dream Organization, while the Rota City Bureau then provided the relevant core technology.

These things are no longer relevant to Bai Mu. A few days later, Bai Mu received a call from Lily and received a new 'surprise'.

His bounty has increased.

"What's the point of this?" Bai Mu arrived at the experience store in a hurry, finding it hard to understand. The increase in bounty was a good thing, but the sudden increase made him feel something was wrong.

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because of what happened to you?” Lily thought of a plausible possibility.

"What could I possibly want to cause trouble for?" Bai Mu was completely baffled. "And who is this 300,000 bounty trying to look down on?"

"Hehehe, does that matter?" Lily chuckled. "If it were only 300,000, not many people would bother you. But this 300,000 is accumulated in the prize pool. People who want to get the bounty won't think 300,000 is too little."

Lily's words made perfect sense, and Bai Mu produced other bounty lists: "Have the bounties for these people remained unchanged?"

"No, it's probably because they're not as good at offending people as Bai Mu."

Lily glanced at the other bounties: "Who are you planning to target?"

"Chef, I need some high-energy food. Don't you have any decent chefs here?" Bai Mu was still somewhat dissatisfied with the burly, bearded chef.

Even if the other party was a serial killer, it would have been fine, but that guy just happened to have the same hobby as Hannibal.

"No normal cook would put a bounty on their head."

Bai Mu's eyes darted around, and she asked in a low voice, "What about the illegal ones?"

"White Curtain, have you finally decided to take the path of no return?"

"Yes, ever since I found out you sold a computer and made 50 million, I've wanted to give it a try."

Lily laughed lightly: "If you're serious, White Curtain, then I can only accept my fate."

“But I’m not short of money.” Bai Mu’s gloomy expression immediately returned to normal: “So, are there any illegal bounties?”

"It's possible, but the people in charge aren't necessarily bad people. Bai Mu, are you sure you want to find such a target?"

"It's not necessarily a matter of killing them; I can protect them."

Lily's smile was somewhat subtle. She was very beautiful, but her words were anything but polite: "With your habit of not coming home for ten days or half a month at a time, are you sure you can protect me?"

"I still want it to be legal," Bai Mu said without arguing; Lily was right.

"Then this is the only one left."

"...Can't you update something else here?"

Lily's smile remained unchanged, and she replied with a chuckle, "There aren't that many bad people. Some bounty notices are taken care of before they even reach here."

The white screen is in a bad mood; the world without global network coverage is so inconvenient!

"Then let's do this."

Seeing Bai Mu's distressed expression, Lily asked, "In that case, Bai Mu, why don't you consider me? I can also process Dream Erosion ingredients, and I might be able to meet your needs in other ways as well."

"Do you have something that can keep you from being hungry for ten days after just one bite?"

"Hmm...that's possible."

Bai Mu was surprised, so he asked casually.
