Dream Travel

Chapter 285 Kicking Down the Door
"Are there really that many demon cultists?" Even Bai Mu, walking down the street, was somewhat shocked.

Although due to the limitations of the times, it is difficult to detect problems in some places immediately, but Kesu Town is not far from Rota City, right?

However, along the way, White Curtain discovered at least a dozen demon cultists through the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arms.

These demon cultists wore their identities on their sleeves and even tried to proselytize him—they hadn't recognized him.

Moreover, their understanding of the original demons was limited; they did not regard the original demons as demons, but rather as another kind of magical thing.

Given this kind of cult of demons, it wouldn't be too surprising for Bai Mu to suddenly offer to give them eggs.

A patrolling police officer in Kesu Town encountered Bai Mu. Upon seeing him, the officer's expression faltered slightly before returning to normal.

The officers quickly left the patrol area and entered a nightclub in Kesu Town.

"Wait, what does he want to do?" A member of the demon hunter team, who had already left the informant's safe house and was on his way to find the White Curtain, asked in surprise.

Kesu Town wasn't big, so finding the White Curtain was easy, but by the time they found it, the other party had already arrived at the dance hall the informant had mentioned.

It's afternoon now, and the dance hall is already open for business.

"Let's take a look first?" Iris stopped her teammate, interested in what White Curtain was going to do next.

“I don’t think it’s a good thing.” Eric frowned slightly. The Demon Hunter Squad didn’t know much about the White Curtain.

They know at least as much as the Bureau of Investigation, but one thing they are certain of is that White Curtain is very good at causing trouble.

"We'll find out soon enough whether it's good or not." Iris smiled expectantly. "Since this is a den of demon cultists, it'll be dealt with sooner or later. Let's see what they do next."

Eric hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That works too."

There's no need to hide anything when dealing with demons; you should strike when the time is right. Hiding things will only give demon followers an opportunity to cause trouble.

The white curtain followed the police officer into the nightclub.

The police officers who had just arrived were somewhat puzzled.

"Thank you for leading the way." Bai Mu reached out and patted the police officer on the shoulder, and the officer's expression immediately turned terrified.

The doorman at the nightclub also gave him a more unfriendly look.

The officer stammered, "Wait, it wasn't me... I just came to report a situation..."

"Don't bother explaining to them, you've done a great job," Bai Mu said to the police officer with a smile.

The Dream-Eater Imperial Arms is incredibly useful for gathering intelligence!

When the officer saw him and showed unusual behavior, Bai Mu obtained the officer's thoughts through his clairvoyance.

The police officer was a follower of demons, someone who had received demonic power, unlike ordinary demon followers.

Therefore, upon seeing the white curtain, the other party received a 'revelation' about the source of power. He did not recognize the white curtain, but knew that it was a high-value target.

Punishing him will allow us to receive more gifts from the devil.

So the police officer rushed to the nightclub, and the other party's thoughts were captured by the White Curtain's Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm.

Bai Mu followed him here.

Looking at the people in the dance hall, he smashed the weapon case on the ground, the loud noise drowning out the sound system in the dance hall.

The people dancing inside stopped and looked at the white screen that had caused the commotion with confusion. Some people's eyes lit up when they saw the white screen.

Moreover, through the sunglasses she was wearing, Bai Mu also saw an invisible 'spectrum' existing here, which was the power emanating from the demon.

Those forces coalesced into a demonic phantom that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and the demonic phantom stared at the white curtain with malice.

"Those who don't know about demons can leave now!" Bai Mu took out the Dream Erosion Greatsword from the weapon box and smashed it on the ground, causing the ground to crack.

This was more intimidating than firing a gun; the ordinary people in the dance hall screamed and ran away.

The gatekeeper at the entrance did not stop the ordinary people, but the police officers who came here wanted to run away, but were intercepted by the gatekeeper with a sinister smile.

"You can't go!"

"Damn it, I'm here to deliver a message, that guy is slandering me!"

The gatekeeper didn't believe the officer at all, and instead shoved him hard: "If you're not in cahoots, then prove it yourself. The power of the devil isn't so easy to take!"

The police officer, who had been exposed to demonic power, looked at the white curtain's back, then at the cracks on the ground, swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and pulled out his weapon.

After aiming his weapon at the white curtain, he felt the demonic power he possessed surge up.

The inner panic was quickly suppressed, replaced by a thirst for more power.

He was already destined to die, and during a duty shift, he was stabbed due to carelessness; the stab was fatal.

However, while receiving treatment in the hospital, he encountered a demon cultist, and in order to survive, he obtained demonic power through that cultist.

Not only did his incurable injuries become minor, but he also gained greater power and experienced what it meant to be extraordinary.

However, he was not truly extraordinary; that power only made him stronger than ordinary people. To become truly extraordinary, he needed more gifts from demons.

But the devil's gifts are not free; one must offer sacrifices to the devil, including the souls of the innocent and the sinful.

His identity is that of a police officer in the town of Ketsu, and through this identity, he has plenty of opportunities to provide the souls of sinners to the devil.

As for the souls of innocent people, he had his own principles and never thought of sacrificing innocent people.

His thinking at the time was that he could take the power of the demon, but that didn't prevent him from using that power for the right purposes.

With such power, what kind of criminals can't be punished? Moreover, punishing those criminals is his duty, and there's nothing wrong with making a deal with the devil using the souls of criminals.

As long as he doesn't harm innocent ordinary people, the security situation in Kesu Town is rapidly improving thanks to his efforts.

However, the improved security here has made it more difficult for him to find the perpetrators.

He could also clearly sense that the power of the demon had accumulated to a very important level.

If he can accumulate just a little more, he can become a superhuman—even if he doesn't know the true standard of a superhuman.

But if someone becomes very powerful, then they must be an extraordinary being, right?

So he lowered the standards for punishing criminals... those who haven't committed any crimes are still innocent, but those who steal or extort are no longer innocent.

But his power accumulation was always just a little bit short, and the feeling of being stuck in the middle made him very uncomfortable, until he couldn't help but attack an innocent person once.

The power from the demons underwent a qualitative change, and in that instant, he felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure, clearly feeling how strong he had become.

Even when he looks in the mirror at home, he can see that he looks much younger. The fact that his wife can be easily driven to beg for mercy and obey him in every way gives him an even stronger sense of satisfaction.

If he had done this sooner, he wouldn't have had to suffer so much. All he got was the waste of a homeless man who had never committed a crime.

He was content with that, but after coming into contact with other demon cultists, he realized that it was just the beginning.

He's more powerful than some of the demon cultists, but not as powerful as those two gatekeepers!

He was even less able to use the power of the devil to get close to the glamorous proprietress of the nightclub.

The other party is far superior to him and doesn't need to care about his status at all.

After meeting more demon cultists at the dance hall, he learned that the amount of gifts from the demons also affected the status among the demon cultists.

The power he obtained from the demons was nothing here, and the sense of disparity fueled his even stronger urge to acquire more power.

"I'm just maintaining order—" The officer, his demonic power boiling, fired his gun.

"Hmm?" Bai Mu's eyes turned golden, and the Dream Erosion Greatsword deflected the incoming bullets.

Faced with the white curtain that could deflect bullets with melee weapons, the police officer who fired the shot was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, the white curtain kicked him away.

That kick made him feel like his internal organs were about to explode. If it weren't for the demonic power that strengthened his body, he would have been kicked to death.

The officer who landed coughed and struggled to stand up.

At this moment, he was grateful that he had worked hard for the power of the demon, otherwise he would definitely be dead.

A hand grabbed the officer and pulled him up, the hand making the back of the officer's neck feel like it was being scalded by boiling water.

"Who are you? You're assaulting a police officer! Let me go!" He planned to return to the police station to call for backup. The police station had more powerful firearms, and with those weapons, he should be able to take down Bai Mu.

"Hmm? You didn't gain much demonic power, but you've fallen quite deeply into corruption. How much of a kickback did you get?" a burly man from the demon-hunting team asked with some suspicion.

"What?" Seeing the burly man's genuine confusion, the police officer looked bewildered. "What kickback?"

"It's alright now." The burly man slapped the police officer on the head, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

He doesn't need to explain too much to a fool who doesn't understand anything.

Perhaps this police officer was normal before, but how can one so easily accept the power of a demon?

People who don't understand demons enough and whose will isn't strong enough may have normal initial thoughts, or even think about using demons.

But unknowingly, they will be influenced by the power of the devil and become his tools.

The police officer who was kicked out by the white curtain is the most typical example.

The demon hunters looked toward the nightclub whose door had been smashed open. After the police officer was kicked out by the white curtain, the commotion inside intensified.

Inside the dance hall.

"Kill him!!" Unable to contain his murderous urge, a demon cultist drew his dagger and charged toward the white curtain.

As soon as the opponent approached the white curtain, it flew back at an even faster speed.

The demon cultist who was kicked away coughed up mouthfuls of blood, and several other demon cultists were also knocked to the ground by him.

The demon cultist, struggling to his feet, had green eyes. The enhancement brought by the demon's power allowed him to remain mobile even after suffering severe injuries.

On the contrary, they can continue fighting with great energy.

Seeing the demon cultist stand up again, Bai Mu patted the weapon case. To the demon cultist's confusion, the weapon case began to flash with green lightning.

The metal wire wrapped around him became a conductor for lightning.

"Aaaaaah—" The demon cultists screamed in agony, and the nearby demon cultists were also affected, instantly killed by the violent lightning.

The violent lightning enveloped them all.

Behind the white curtain, the security guards who were taking action were also affected by the spreading lightning.

The power of the lightning restricted their movements; the two guards only caught a glimpse of a sword before their heads were severed by Bai Mu's Dream Erosion Greatsword.

There is no defense agreement in Kesu Town, so Bai Mu can act freely here. When he doesn't need to unleash his demonic energy, he is just a powerful human.

After using the Demonic Energy Release, his life force reaction was enhanced, making it easier to trigger the defense agreement at that time.

This problem doesn't exist here, so White Curtain demonstrates a completely overwhelming power in terms of physical attributes.

After beheading the two guards, Bai Mu flicked the weapon case in his hand, sending two approaching demon cultists flying.

When they were hit, their bones made a cracking sound.

When it crashes into other demon followers, the demon followers that are hit cannot withstand the strong impact, and the weaker ones are killed on the spot.

Inside the dance hall, the white curtain was like a bulldozer; no demonic follower who got close to it could withstand even a single blow.

With superhuman strength and the splashing attack of lightning, in less than a minute, few of the demon cultists in the dance hall were still standing.

Those standing there, who were not native demons, had already shed their disguises during the battle, and their power surpassed that of any demon in the demon invasion.

The white curtain also noticed that with each death of a demon cultist, their souls would converge on the demonic phantom seen through the Dream-Eroding Sunglasses, forming a burning sphere of souls.

Therefore, after discovering this problem, the White Curtain no longer focused on killing demon cultists.

The demon Lexenberg also discovered the White Curtain's intentions. His phantom smiled sinisterly at the White Curtain and waved his demonic hand.

The souls of the fallen demon cultists burst into flames, releasing a massive amount of demonic power as their souls burned.

He can grant power to demon followers, but this power comes from the followers themselves.

This world does not offer a comfortable hell for demons, so when demons 'bestow' power, they rarely directly expend their own power.

Moreover, transmitting power remotely consumes more energy from the demon; he prefers to directly burn the souls of demon followers to generate demonic power on the spot.

Demons like to collect souls, because those souls can be used as fuel, although burning them directly as fuel is somewhat wasteful.

Torture those souls severely, and you can squeeze out more power.

These demon followers did not feel their souls being burned; they only felt their demonic power rapidly increasing, and then they felt that it was enough.

"Not good!" Outside the dance hall, after sensing the power of the primal demon, Elek could no longer wait and rushed into the dance hall.

"You've crossed the line! Do you want to start a war with us?!"
