Dream Travel

Chapter 226 How to Stimulate Peers
"If we can't find Dr. Fashion in the next few days, we'll have to retreat for now." Leone told White Curtain about the current situation of the Night Raid organization, just as White Curtain knew from the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

After all, the Teigu users here are also the main force of the Revolutionary Army, and they cannot be absent from dealing with Esdeath.

"It's Lucy Ella's turn to perform."

“Your cat,” Leone said, sitting directly on Bai Mu’s lap, “your relationship with her isn’t exactly ordinary, is it?”

"Let me introduce you to someone new."

White Curtain placed Leone, who was sitting on him, aside, picked up the weapon case from the bedside, and Atreus's phantom appeared there.

Awakened, Atris didn't seem surprised at all. She calmly glanced at the white curtain's upper body, her gaze casually sweeping over Leone.

She slightly pursed her lips; Atrist wasn't particularly fond of people with such explosive figures.

She had used the alchemy of life to adjust her figure in her early years, making it as curvy as she wanted, but later she got bored and returned to her original state.

The main problem is that my figure is too prominent; sometimes I can't even see my feet when I look down, which makes it inconvenient to do experiments.

Moreover, the sexy image easily attracts attention, and there are already quite a few people eyeing her. To satisfy her vanity, she undergoes related modifications, which makes the already impure motives of those eyeing her even more impure.

So Beatrice returned to her original form, which made her 'inner self' more deceptive and easier for others to underestimate.

The surrounding environment made Beatrice realize that she was in a dream world.

If the blonde woman on the bed wasn't a one-time partner of Bai Mu, then she must be one of their own.

It's best not to be positioned as a 'madam'.

"Her name is Beatrice, my new alchemist."

"Huh?" Leone looked at Beatrice in surprise and asked the white curtain, "Did you kill her again with your own hands?"

Bai Mu never concealed Luciela's existence or problems; she knew that Bai Mu had killed Luciela herself.

But that doesn't stop White Curtain and Luciela from having something happen. When that catgirl turns into a monster, she's a real monster, but she can also revert to human form.

And in terms of figure, she is no less than her, but she has a charm that the other woman lacks.

Now, Bai Mu has acquired another cute-looking girl.

Wow, that's quite a fancy way to have fun!
Leone reached out and pinched Bai Mu's pectoral muscle. "Your stamina is pretty impressive, huh?"
"She was an evil alchemist, but I punished her."

Atreus rolled her eyes almost imperceptibly. Yes, yes, from a legal perspective, she was indeed a heinous evil alchemist.

But those who drafted the laws also had their share of people who wanted her results.

“It doesn’t seem like it.” Leone sized up Beatrice; in terms of appearance, Beatrice was far too deceptive.

"It doesn't seem like it at all. She is skilled in life alchemy, which can make people live to be a hundred years old."

Beatrice added, "But other lives are needed in exchange."

Leone felt that Atreus was somewhat like an evil alchemist.

"And she's 107 years old."

“I wouldn’t mind if you removed the zero.” Beatrice rolled her eyes almost imperceptibly. If she were alone with Bai Mu in a room with a bed, she would accept whatever might happen.

Or rather, they were willing to accept it. Bai Mu wasn't some old man; who wouldn't like a young and strong man?

In addition to Leone's slightly out-of-shape belly, Beatrice is also over a hundred years old and practices life alchemy. If she can't see the problem, wouldn't she have lived in vain?

So even if something really happens, she doesn't care that much; on the contrary, she can use it to gain more resources.

She didn't have to 'mistreat' herself like this while she was alive, but now that she's dead, she still has to appear here as a 'bystander' even in death.

She might have become part of the PLAY (Player Intervention).

"Stop lying to yourself, I have some things to do here, and I might need your help."

"Oh? You have someone here who's about to die of old age? Then you'll have to prepare at least ten healthy adults for me first."

Bai Mu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Just adults?"

“It’s not suitable for the elderly and children,” Beatrice said casually. “The vitality of the elderly is beginning to decline, and the vitality of children has not yet reached its optimal level.”

“See? She’s the evil alchemist.” White Curtain patted Leone’s stomach.

The latter rolled his eyes at Bai Mu: "You're really something, hero who punishes evil alchemists."

Beatrice watched this scene expressionlessly. Disgusting, utterly disgusting!

……

"She is also skilled in life modification, so perhaps she can help."

After getting up, Bai Mu introduced Beatrice to the others. Perhaps because the alchemist's appearance was too deceptive, some people were curious about Beatrice's identity, background, and cause of death.

Could it be that White Curtain specifically hired a similar alchemist to kill in order to help deal with Dr. Fashion?
"Is that so?" Lubbock couldn't help but ask White Curtain.

Bai Mu sneered, "If you think like that, believe me, she could turn you into candy and eat you."

"What?" Lubbock didn't react for a moment.

Bai Mu continued, "Do you think alchemists who are skilled in life modification are benevolent?"

He had never met anyone good. So far, he had only encountered two alchemists, and they weren't even from the same world. Neither of them were good. They wanted him to change his tune after he encountered someone good in the future.

Lubbock thought of Dortya, who had been ambushed and killed in a night raid.

The other party is also an alchemist; the Revolutionary Army headquarters has collected relevant intelligence, and he is not a good person.

Beatrice does seem to share some similarities with the other person, at least in appearance, but Beatrice is cuter and more adorable. Lubbock thought with a hint of unease, "But alchemists don't eat people, do they?"

The white curtain asked Beatrice, "Do you eat people?"

Beatrice practically had a deadpan expression: "If people eat each other, are they even human? I'm not a monster."

She may extract life force from demons or humans for her own use, but that doesn't mean she has to eat people.

She did almost anything for her experiments, but she was still a kind woman who wouldn't prey on others...

"You want her to draw Dr. Fashion out?" Chelsea, who was present, understood what White Curtain meant.

"If you have something truly unique, and there's competition from your peers, you still have a chance, right?"

Chelsea thought about it seriously and decided it was worth a try.

“If you want me to do something, you have to give me the corresponding materials,” Beatrice immediately stated her demand.

“The materials are easy to obtain; there are plenty near the capital.” Seele’s voice was completely flat.

"Let's not delay, let's see if those modified monsters are suitable."

Chelsea didn't intend to waste too much time; they only had a few days left, and they wanted to resolve Dr. Fashion as soon as possible.

Otherwise, after defeating Esdeath, the enemy would probably be even more cautious.

only……

"Have you gained weight?" Chelsea whispered to Leone on the way out of the base.

The food during the night raid was very good, but everyone's daily training intensity was also high, and the amount of activity was even greater when carrying out missions.

She might become more plump after retirement, but that's absolutely impossible during this period.

"Of course not, don't talk nonsense." Leone whispered in Chelsea's ear.

Chelsea's eyes widened: "Is it really that outrageous?"

"Do you want to try it?"

How can you be so shameless?

Leone whispered, "You've been secretly watching him all along, haven't you?"

“This…” Chelsea was speechless. When Bai Mu was not around, she was working diligently, but Bai Mu was related to the 'Rota' she was investigating, so she couldn’t help but pay more attention to Bai Mu after he arrived.

Leone actually noticed this.

"I think I'm going to die." Chelsea quietly moved a little further away from Leone; she didn't have Leone's physique.

As for the matter of 'Rota', she still did not intend to let the Night Raiders know about it until she had investigated enough information.

"When did the Imperial Capital get so many monsters?" Back near the Imperial Capital, Shiro used the Observer Imperial Arm to observe the surrounding area.

Many modified monsters roam here, just like wild monsters that have spawned.

Moreover, these monsters all look somewhat human.

Bai Mu couldn't help but glance at Beatrice in the group; there were quite a few monsters where this woman had been before.

There are many different kinds of creatures, including zombies, modified beastmen, and some enhanced creatures, but their numbers are much smaller compared to those near the capital.

While Atreus looked at the situation near the capital, she seemed quite envious. What did it mean to legally conduct forbidden research?

These monsters weren't created using life alchemy, but the fact that such modified creatures are allowed to roam the outskirts of the city demonstrates just how tolerant this country is of such modifications.

If such a wonderful place existed in reality, she would definitely rush there to join immediately, instead of hiding away.

“It has always existed, but it has simply become more and more numerous as the revolutionary army advances.”

Mine casually explained that she was also observing the surrounding situation through the scope; these monsters were essentially kidnapping all the ordinary people in the capital.

The treacherous officials, driven to desperation, went completely mad. Although former minister Jolly returned to the capital, the outcome of his struggle with the treacherous officials was not ideal.

The other side has handled its internal affairs well, but the current situation of the empire cannot be solved simply by dealing with internal affairs.

“Dr. Fashion has received tremendous support, and recently some modified creatures resembling super-dangerous species have appeared.” Mine said, her brows furrowing.

Those modified creatures are weapons of war, not only physically powerful but also equipped with a large number of weapons.

With their massive size and extensive weaponry, any one of them could cause immense damage on the battlefield.

With the unconditional support of treacherous factions, Dr. Fashion's creations are becoming increasingly outrageous.

"Do you have a way to deal with these monsters?" Chelsea asked Beatrice, ignoring Mine's complaints.

“If you want to lure the target out, then target them in their area of ​​expertise, making them unable to resist showing themselves.” Atris observed the moving monsters.

She has encountered a lot of trouble, and some of that trouble came from her peers!

Research is not something everyone is gifted at. There are some things you may not be able to figure out on your own, or the results may not be ideal. In those cases, you can try to 'borrow' some inspiration from your peers.

Her life alchemy is so excellent that it's normal for her peers to take notice. She dares to break the law and cross legal red lines, while some of her peers want both.

Wanting similar research results to hers, caring about their reputation, not being thoroughly bad, but wanting to play some tricks, they directly 'borrow' her ready-made research results.

Having experienced this many times, Beatrice knows how to provoke her peers in the same field.

The target this time is not an alchemist, but the other party is also skilled in life form modification. They are not in the same profession, but they are in the same field.
