Dream Travel

Chapter 284 is a bit long.

Kesu Town.

Stepping into this place for the second time, Bai Mu is like a criminal who wants to return to the crime scene and see how his crime was accomplished.

Everything was normal in the town; the people he had killed back then seemed to have no impact on the town of Kesu.

There is a new town mayor. As for the black market human trafficking industry chain, the White Curtain cleaned up the parts that could be eradicated last time.

Although new cases may arise, this is simply a matter of cleaning up the mess for Bai Mu. He will crack down hard on this kind of human trafficking.

"How do we investigate?" Bai Mu asked Elek after losing a few games on the train.

"Leave the investigation to us; it's up to you when it comes to taking action," Eric said with a smile.

Bai Mu looked at the muscular captain who was smiling broadly and adjusted his position slightly.

Well, although he appears a bit 'slender' compared to these people, his style still fits the team quite well when he stands here.

Except for the lack of runes.

So, is their investigation really a legitimate one? It's more like they just went up and kicked the door down.

Are you sure you didn't kick the door down?

Eric's smile turned somewhat dangerous: "You know a lot!"

They are a demon hunter squad, investigating demon cultists, and each of them is naturally very good at kicking down doors!

Eric's smile turned somewhat dangerous as he said, "Of course, with you around, we can slightly change our approach. You're in the open."

Bai Mu lost a bit while playing cards and needed to put in more effort, which Alec suspected was intentional on Bai Mu's part.

However, he said it didn't matter; they just needed to deal with more demon followers, and whether the White Curtain contributed more or less didn't really matter.

In the original action plan, the white curtain did not exist.

"I'm attracting demon cultists, right? I wonder if I'll attract primal demons too?"

“It’s unlikely that a primal demon would appear here.” Elek shook his head. If it were a primal demon with a legitimate identity, then it wouldn’t matter if it moved around freely.

However, Luxembla was clearly not a legitimate native demon; if it had been operating openly within the Maple Crown Republic, it would have been besieged long ago.

The strength of this primordial demon is unknown, but that doesn't mean that it can maintain this state of unknown strength after frequent activity.

While the original demons are indeed powerful, how should they deal with the Dream Bomb?

The Dream Bomb is arguably the only 'nuclear weapon' that humanity possesses in reality.

This thing can even allow humans to eliminate those powerful alien dreamers without having to perish together.

“If it really happens, then we’ll just consider ourselves unlucky,” Iris said from the side, clearly having anticipated this.

The demon hunter unit is a department with a high casualty rate. When investigating demon cultists and dealing with such beings, they do occasionally encounter large-scale attacks.

Perhaps the demon Luxenbra is just an impulsive one, and its true form has wandered here.

"Hahahaha, the worst-case scenario is just encountering a projection of a primordial demon—" Elek laughed, reaching out to pat Bai Mu on the shoulder: "Since the other party has a grudge against you, then you should get moving."

The white curtain, being in the open, attracts the attention of the demon cultists more; once it is discovered, those cultists will certainly take action.

"Row."

Bai Mu and Elek split up, and he knew they wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't say anything.

Acting alone is fine; this way, he can also check the situation in Kesu Town and see if his last cleanup was thorough enough.

Bai Mu went to a hotel where the owner had died a few months ago, but the hotel was still open a few months later. Bai Mu thought there was something wrong with the hotel.

After checking into a room, he went out wearing sunglasses and chatted with the hotel owner.

"Why did this place change owners?" Bai Mu asked, sounding puzzled.

"The previous owner encountered a serial killer." The new owner of the inn was the kind of person who didn't talk much, and he briefly stated the reason before stopping there.

Bai Mu nodded and didn't ask any further questions. According to the information obtained through the Dream-Eater Imperial Arm, this new boss was actually an official.

They must be here with some kind of mission, but they haven't shown much interest, and the information that Bai Mu can glean is limited.

Faced with such officials, Bai Mu didn't ask any further questions. After getting a simple understanding of the information that was normal, he simply started strolling around Kesu Town.

The constant state of the Dream-Eater Imperial Arms allows him to obtain a lot of superficial information that ordinary people would think.

For example, when ordinary people see him, most of them are curious about the weapon box in the white curtain, and they are curious about the weight of the box.

Some malicious people wondered if it was a coffin...

Even more malicious are the demon cultists hiding in this town.

"How is it?" Eric slightly pulled back the curtains, glanced at the white curtains on the street, and then pulled the curtains back up.

After splitting up, they were able to make contact with some informants in the demon-hunting squad. As for Bai Mu, who happened to be passing by, they had no intention of disturbing him. Bai Mu kept his promise and, after booking a room, actually started attracting attention there.

With his professional experience, Elec had already identified several targets on the street.

"The situation in Cthulhu Town is quite serious. There weren't so many demon cultists here before."

The informant working in Cthulhu described the town's situation; their mission was to investigate the presence of demons and other dark creatures in the area.

If the problem becomes serious enough, the Demon Hunter team will be called in for support.

There have long been demon cultists in this town, but the demons associated with it were not clear before.

It wasn't until the demon hunter squad from Rota City brought in new intelligence that their investigation became connected to it.

The reports from the informants now are supplementing the intelligence gathered by Elek and the others.

"The number of demon cultists in Kesu Town only increased after the last series of murders."

"Hmm? Is it related to that case?" Eric frowned slightly. He knew a little about that serial murder case, and it shouldn't have anything to do with demons.

The informant shook his head: "There's no direct connection, but that case caused another force in Ketsu Town to withdraw, which is the reason for the increase in demon cultists."

"Is this considered a bargain?" Iris couldn't help but laugh.

This sounds like a gang fight. The original gang ran away, leaving the place empty, and then new people took over.

"...I guess so." The informant nodded immediately, having no objection to the situation.

After all, his work officially began only after this incident; otherwise, he worked here as a precaution.

Without merit, it's difficult to get promoted. However, the appearance of demon cultists here has changed the meaning for these informants.

If possible, who would want to work in a poorly developed town like this?
While it is relatively safe, it is not entirely safe overall, as there is no defense agreement in place.

"The demon cultists here are mainly concentrated in nightclubs, and so far there have been no victims, so they are relatively restrained."

The informant reported on the situation in the town, and that there were many types of demon cultists.

Some are obsessed with causing trouble, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't kill a few people to sacrifice to the demons. Others are more career-oriented and like to expand and grow.

"Restraint? Heh heh heh, restraint is a joke to demons." Iris sneered. The restraint shown by the demon cultists associated with demons meant that they were definitely plotting something bigger.

After the informant finished reporting the intelligence, they had a pretty good understanding of the situation in Kesu Town.

Although the information gathered by informants is limited, this is due to the informants' limited capabilities. If you ask informants to investigate certain things, you're essentially letting them do nothing.

The situation changed after they arrived; they could uncover intelligence that informants couldn't.

"Let's see how many demon cultists he can attract." In this respect, Elek didn't act as ruggedly as his appearance suggested.

Demon cultists must be dealt with, but the methods of purging them differ.

If the demon cultists here are not related to Luxembra, then a more normal cleanup method will be used.

Simply put, it's about luring the snake out of its hole, letting them take the first step before cleaning up.

By following a standard procedure, even demons associated with those demon believers will find it difficult to express too much 'dissatisfaction'.

The demon cultists associated with Luxembra are different; they have committed crimes and must be dealt with severely.

The two different work processes made some members of the demon hunter team unhappy, but there was nothing they could do about it.

If the primal demons were to really cause destruction, the impact would be too great. However, with the existence of defense agreements within the city, the primal demons are unlikely to go too far.

But such things don't exist outside of cities.

Therefore, if it is not absolutely necessary, try to avoid fighting the original demons. If it cannot be avoided, then dig them out and kill them completely!

In any case, the original demons are basically dream creatures. Under the dream bomb, all dream creatures are equal. It's just that the cost of killing an original demon is a bit too high.

But those who deserve to be killed should definitely be killed directly.

Just like this operation, if Lexenberg continues to retaliate afterward, then the intention to start a war will be very clear.

In this way, it's no longer just a small team operating on their own.

Of course, if the other side stops because of this, then the demon-hunting team's objective will be achieved.

However, from the devil's perspective, "quiet down" is relative. Just like the white curtain that the other party has been eyeing, once it quiets down, it simply means that they won't make a move against him in the city.

Even if Bai Mu leaves the city, she will still be targeted by the demons.

When dealing with white screens, it won't involve too many people or significantly impact the security of major cities.

Elek and his group discovered that there were quite a few demon cultists eyeing the White Curtain.

This is not good news. So many demon followers mean that Luxembra has a strong ability to seduce.
