Dream Travel

Chapter 307 Figure out your position
"Your demonic aura perception is useful against your own kind, it's specifically designed for attacking humans, but its effect on awakened individuals is rather ordinary."

White Curtain put away the Imperial Arms and said something else: "Once your physical condition improves, you'll be able to act more like normal people."

“It’s just like it.” Denise sat down beside the white curtain. “What will happen here in the future?”

“It will develop very well because River is here.”

"So she's the most important one?"

"Hmm...please take good care of her from now on, okay?"

“I wouldn’t have cared about this before, but she’s friends with Claire now.”

Bai Mu smiled and said, "Just tell me if you need anything. Don't be shy. I'll bring it with me next time I come."

“No.” Denise shook her head.

She had no complaints about her current living conditions. Demons were almost extinct, awakened beings had been killed, and everything was better than she had expected.

Moreover, the town's development has already brought about tremendous changes for her.

That evening, White Curtain called Beatrice back and inquired about the progress of the research.

"It's not that difficult. The modification methods they used were too crude. They clearly have such excellent fusion materials. If my workshop were here, I could completely solve the problem in two days."

"It sounds much better than that virus."

Beatrice shook her head, not belittling Evefeya's area of ​​expertise.

"The results were different. I used the alchemy of life, while she used viral technology. The process of taking effect was different."

"But they can all solve the problem, right?"

"Of course, that's not all. There are also complementary aspects. The modification of biochemical viruses can be seen as a basic enhancement, while my life alchemy can strengthen the basics."

Beatrice explained the difference between the two, saying that the improvement from biochemical viruses can be seen as a percentage-based increase.

Life alchemy, on the other hand, makes it easier to transfer or forcibly graft certain enhancers to obtain a fixed value of enhancement.

The percentage increase seemed like a huge advantage, but after talking with Evelya, Beatrice realized that this advantage was only on paper.

If the foundation is already very strong, then the percentage increase will be reduced.

For ordinary people, this might be an increase of 200% or even higher, but for those whose base strength is already very high, it might only be 20% or even lower.

While her life alchemy isn't a percentage-based enhancement, it's a fixed enhancement, and if an individual's base stats are high enough, the decay won't be as noticeable.

But whether it's her technique or Evefeya's technique, they are all designed to strengthen the weak, and for those who are already powerful, they are merely icing on the cake.

After Beatrice's explanation, White Curtain understood why they could complement each other.

"Do a good job, I believe in you."

"Then let me go back?"

"No rush, I need to go somewhere to test it out."

Bai Mu left Luoguduo Town in the dead of night and arrived at a remote area.

He summoned the harvest he had just obtained.

A group of awakened individuals looked at the other awakened individuals with blank expressions. In their memories, everyone here should be dead.

But why is it still here, perfectly intact?

The clever one thought of Luciela first.

“Have we become like Luciela now?” Octavia stretched her body.

Although Bai Mu killed her, she no longer feels much hostility towards him.

Moreover, she also felt that her current physical condition was quite subtle.

Just like when she was alive, it's as if she were really alive.

"That's right, you died, but fragments of your spirit remained and can be summoned by me."

"Are you really a demon?" Octavia sighed sadly. No one wants to die unless there's a reason.

But right now it seems that even the right to die is gone. But can this state be considered living?
"No, I'm still planning to deal with demons. Ask your questions now, or I won't answer them later."

Bai Mu looked at the Awakened Ones present. After reverting to their original forms, very few of them resembled humans, but in their human forms, they were all quite good-looking...

“I’m fine.” Octavia shook her head; she was already dead, so asking any other questions seemed pointless.

Other awakened individuals also remained silent, sharing similar thoughts with Octavia.

The defeated have no special privileges. Since the White Curtain has preserved them and summoned them in this special way, it means they are still useful.

I can still live in my current state.

"What do we do on ordinary days?" an Awakened One asked Bai Mu. Her name was Agatha, an Awakened One with a very large physical form.

"How much time has passed since you slept in here?" Bai Mu asked Agatha after patting his weapon case.

"Not long after," Agatha replied truthfully after frowning slightly.

After being summoned, she felt as if her death in battle had just happened, and for her, the time had passed in the blink of an eye.

“That’s right. When you’re asleep, you don’t feel how much time has passed, so ‘daily life’ isn’t important to you.” “Like tools.” Octavia understood their current situation.

"More or less." Bai Mu remained noncommittal. Every single Awakened One present was a cannibalistic Awakened One.

There's no need to be too polite in your speech, not just with them, but with Lucy and Ayla as well.

"What conditions do you need to set us free?" Livlu asked, extremely dissatisfied with the current situation.

"Freedom? Heh heh heh, you're all already dead. Letting you go would mean you're completely dead. If that's what you want, I can release him first."

Bai Mu looked at the somewhat bewildered Duff, who gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard..."

Livlu punched him in the stomach, interrupting him, and continued to ask Bai Mu, "So this is all we can do?"

"Isn't it good to be recycled? You didn't have a choice before, but now you can do something good for me."

Livlu stared at the white screen, then sighed, "I accept it all."

Being controlled by others, she no longer had the right to be arrogant in many things.

"Okay, anyone who has a problem with this can speak up, and I can release him."

"I—" Duff tried to speak, but Livlu knocked him to the ground.

She glanced at Duff: "Now shut up."

Perhaps there will be a chance to break free from the white curtain in the future, but what can they do now besides listen to the white curtain?
Is it a gamble that Bai Mu is talking about releasing animals?
They're probably doomed.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, then remember to give it your all when you go on stage next time."

Seeing that none of the other awakened beings had stepped forward to cause trouble, Bai Mu was very satisfied.

"Wait, where's Lucyella?" Livlu noticed that someone was missing and immediately asked.

White Curtain snapped her fingers, and Luciela was summoned.

She glanced around and smiled. "Looks like they've all figured out what's going on, haven't they?"

"That's fine." Bai Mu nodded. "Would you like to catch up with them?"

Lucyella decisively distanced herself from these Awakened Ones; the group of Awakened Ones collected by the White Curtain were merely henchmen and tools.

Although she can be considered a henchman or tool, there are differences between tools, and she is at least much more advanced than this group.

"..." Luciela's attitude made the perceptive Awakened realize that there was more to the story.

Octavia glanced at the white curtain, a thoughtful expression on her face, but she didn't ask anything, letting the white curtain reclaim the summoned Awakened Ones.

Lucyella leaned closer to the white curtain and whispered, "Could you please handle my sister's matter? And are there some things you don't want my sister to be involved in?"

"Don't try to tempt me with something like this, it won't work." Bai Mu waved his hand, frowning slightly. "That's your sister. Even if your values ​​have become less human because of your awakening, you shouldn't do this."

"Heh, is it really useless?" Luciela glanced at the white curtain: "I am sincere towards Lafayette, what good is this place to her?"
There are clearly more exciting and enjoyable places out there; leaving her here is just suffering.

"The problem is that some people think I won't live much longer, and that you won't be any better off if I die."

"Then why don't you just not die?"

Lucyella used to hope that White Curtain would die quickly, but now she hopes that White Curtain can live well.

"I've already convinced Laphana, now it's just a matter of you."

"You really are a loving older sister." Bai Mu patted Luciela's bottom: "Transform and take me back."

"Going back so early?" Luciela looked at the moon in the sky. It was still early, and there was no one around. Why was Bai Mu thinking of going back first?
"I'm going back to sleep."

At White Curtain's command, Luciela reverted to her original form and carried him away from there.

Lafayette appeared here, looking at Luciela's back with a somewhat complicated expression.

Lucyella told her many things, and she herself thought about many things.

Now that the organization has been destroyed and most of the Awakened have been eliminated, she feels even more reluctant to part with Luciela.

It's not just the sisterly affection between them, but also the guilt they feel towards Lucyella for awakening back then.

What worried her even more was something else Lucyella mentioned.

Bai Mu doesn't belong here. Although he will come back, he will eventually disappear from this place.

If she doesn't follow along, then that will be the moment when the sisters never see each other again.

Not many people know what Bai Mu does at night.

Galadriel knew that with so many awakened beings suddenly appearing, she couldn't sense them and therefore couldn't act as the organization's eyes and ears.

Once she learned that this matter was related to the White Curtain, she acted as if nothing had happened.

The next day, I even went to Bai Mu's place to tell him to be careful.

"There won't be a next time. This time, they were summoned only to help them understand their proper roles."

White Curtain made a guarantee in response to Galadriel's reminder.

Those awakened ones are just combat tools, like the mental fragments collected before, and they don't interact much on a daily basis.
