Dream Travel

Chapter 38: Power is determined by appearance

In the circle of people who are familiar with strange dreams, the appearance of dream walkers has almost left a stereotype on people in this circle, as if they are "programmers" in certain types of worlds in strange dreams.

To tell whether a programmer is good or not, just look at his age and hair!

The same goes for the Dream Walker. To tell whether a Dream Walker is powerful or not, just look at his age and appearance!

When selecting people, a dream walker of similar age and appearance will definitely not be as competitive as a dream walker of completely different age and appearance.

How can a twenty-year-old dream walker who looks twenty years old be compared with a twenty-five-year-old dream walker who looks fifty-two years old?
Of course, forget about the dream walker who is thirty years old but looks seventy. He has worked so hard, so don’t make things difficult for this young dream walker.

The Dream Walker, who is about to lie in the coffin, should be used sparingly. Don't do any investigative work and just be a transporter. This way he can live a few more years.

Due to lifespan reasons, there is no shortage of dream walkers at the processing bureau, but with more dream walkers, the investigative work undertaken by the dream walkers will not be as concentrated.

Just like this investigation, a dream walker came back two hours ago, but that dream walker had been stranded in the dream for five days.

I did get enough rest in the dream, but to arrange the next investigation task for someone just after they came back, isn't this treating the dream walker like a beast of burden?

Once a day is too much, how about twice a day? Isn't that life-threatening?

Therefore, in some investigation projects, whether it is a processing bureau or a company, if there are suitable wild dream walkers to choose from, they will mainly use wild dream walkers, and will only use their own dream walkers if they cannot find suitable personnel.

Just have a suitable outsider as the "consumables" and your own dream walker as the courier.

Even so, the dream walker's life loss will inevitably accumulate.

When normally exploring strange dreams, there are always one or two dream walkers on standby in the dream, so that they can escape from the dream at the critical moment and bring out the news.

"The investigation will take at least two days, and it's best to time it to the minute." Bo Lei gave the final reminder, then opened the door of the cabin and signaled Bai Mu that he could go in.

Bai Mu saw a man lying on a hospital bed in the quarantine center. There was a transparent isolation cover on the bed. The man had dark and rough skin, and seemed to have been working outdoors all year round.

He had seen the personal information of the source of the dream, who turned out to be a fisherman.

Glancing inside the quarantine center, Bai Mu saw surveillance cameras... quite advanced.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

"Good luck to you." Bo Lei closed the door of the quarantine center.

The quarantine center itself was built using the technology to seal strange dreams, but the sealing effect did not have the effect of reducing the time difference and could only be used to suppress the impact range of strange dreams.

The 'coffin' found on St. Paul's Street used similar miniaturization technology, and the containers used to smuggle dreams also used similar technology.

There is also corresponding surveillance inside the quarantine center, which can confirm the life or death of the dream walker.

When the dream walker is alive and well, the interior of the quarantine facility will be very stable. Once the dream walker dies in a dream, the quarantine facility can detect the dream erosion.

There are only two reasons for dream erosion: the dream erosion that flows out from the hole caused by the dream walker's death, and the dream erosion that the dream walker inevitably carries out after leaving the dream.

"Let me see what the dream is."

After entering the cabin, Bai Mu felt the same feeling as when he found Thorn's body in the sewer. It was still an indescribable haziness, but last time Bai Mu didn't understand the reason for this feeling and did not act rashly.

After learning more about the Dream Walker this time, Bai Mu realized that this hazy feeling was probably related to the Dream Walker. Last time, with so many people around him and being a complete novice, he hadn't done anything about it. This time, he was alone, so he had more things to try.

For example, the hazy feeling you feel when you are slightly affected?

It’s like some unclean things, if you can’t see them you can’t touch them, but if you can see them you can influence each other. The hazy feeling he feels should be the same, right?
Bai Mu reached out and tried to clear away the haziness he perceived.

Huh~ A ripple appeared, so subtle that it was almost negligible, and Bai Mu's figure disappeared inside the quarantine center.

A staff member in the monitoring room glanced at the surveillance camera and saw that the parameters inside the cabin were normal. Then he looked away as if nothing had happened, picked up the communicator and said, "Everything is normal."

When I'm busy here, I can see similar supernatural scenes five or six times a day. I get used to it after seeing them so many times.

There are many strange things in the monitoring room of the processing bureau. The most common one is the sudden transformation of living people. Occasionally, you can see other scenes, such as some dream walkers entering strange dreams at a young age and leaving strange dreams at an old age.

It was later confirmed that the eyes of the returning Dream Walker were indeed the real person, but... strange dreams are quite scary, right?

Strange dream.

Bai Mu quickly looked around. He should be on the beach, but he was not sure of the exact location.

There are still a lot of young ladies wearing bikinis.

There was no change in his clothes. This time he was not getting a ride on the source of the strange dream. Last time he got a ride on the source of the strange dream, so after entering, he got the benefits of the source of the strange dream, had his own identity, and changed his clothes.

Such convenience means the additional burden of dream erosion and the possibility of losing the equipment you carry.

According to the information that Bai Mu had read, if he was still wearing the clothes he wore before entering the dream after completing his investigation of the dream, there would be no dream erosion. However, if he changed into local clothes and left the dream, dream erosion would occur.

Anything brought into a dream in reality can be taken out normally as long as it is not lost or replaced.

Without taking the car of the source of the strange dream, after entering the strange dream, he would not have the reasonable or relatively reasonable identity at the beginning, but the advantage is that it is like this now, and all the things he carries with him can be kept normally.

"The modern world is truly amazing!" Bai Mu felt the moist, warm air near the coast, then felt his pockets and found no money...

But he was not anxious, because the suitcase that Borey gave him contained not only extra ammunition but also some processed gold.

As a hard currency, this thing can be used in the normal world, unless those worlds are worthless.

This box is very useful. Otherwise, if Bai Mu appeared here with an M16 on his back, it would probably cause chaos, right?

The people here should be from the US side, but even if they are foreigners, they will not be crazy to think that someone with a gun is normal. There will always be someone who comes up to "understand" the situation.

The pistol is easy to deal with, as it is easy to conceal.

"Hey, buddy, aren't you hot?" Someone who liked to join in the fun greeted Bai Mu.

His windbreaker, which was designed to carry more things and hide weapons, was indeed unique on this coast.

Judging from the reaction of this young foreigner who came to join in the fun, it seemed that no one noticed that he suddenly appeared in this place, which is a good thing.
