Dream Travel

Chapter 403 Long time no see
"Do you have any special connections here? I'm in a hurry to leave now, but I'll definitely come back later."

Bai Mu asked the white-haired fox girl impatiently, "She's been here for quite a while now, so it must be very relevant, right?"

"No, I will try to avoid contact with the people here." The protagonist shook her head, indicating that Bai Mu was overthinking things and that she had no connections here at all.

Since her abilities are easily linked to the fates of others, she has always avoided having too much direct contact with others.

Otherwise, once a connection is established, even if no fate is formed, the unintentional pull of the bond between people may still affect others.

In any case, most people can't outmaneuver her when the bonds of fate are pulling them together.

Therefore, she will try her best to avoid contact with others.

However, she needs money to live in this city, so she sometimes sells her handmade crafts.

Those things can improve a person's luck, but this luck won't have a significant impact on the person; it will only have a minor, insignificant effect.

And it will only work once or a few times before it becomes invalid. Apart from the influence of good luck, the things she makes are just small handicrafts.

The buyer won't lose out because of this.

"Then what about the lone wolf in the desert?"

"He is indeed somewhat connected to me, but I don't know him."

The person in question gently shook her head; her connection with the other party was merely a title.

She became somewhat connected to someone because of rumors spread by others, and because of this connection, the other party helped her share a lot of the attention.

Correspondingly, the lone wolf in the desert was also slightly affected by her.

The other party didn't do well here before, but now he's considered a well-known 'Robin Hood'.

"He's not a bad person, is he?"

"Not really, given the moral standards of this desert."

"The things he stole... oh, never mind that, I'll find another way to make money."

The person in question thought for a moment, her golden-red eyes gazing at the white screen for a while, before speaking.
"casino?"

“No.” Bai Mu immediately shook his head. Even though the casinos in Eshra were a unique feature, Bai Mu had no intention of going to check them out.

Rather than trying his luck there, he decided to go find the wanted poster.

"You've been here for quite a while now, so recommend some suitable targets for me to take action against, and then tell my fortune."

"I really can't tell fortunes."

"Then show me how this matter is going." Bai Mu then recounted the events in the Hellish Realm.

After listening, the person in charge gently shook his head: "This matter will not have any impact on this world. I have not yet seen the alien realm with my own eyes."

"I'll take you to see it sometime." Bai Mu picked up his weapon case. "Now, let's go to your house."

"Huh?" The person in charge of the destiny was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Don't you need to bring your companion back?"

"No need, and you can see what kind of beings they are, right?"

The person in question nodded slightly.

Whether it's Beatrice or Esdeath downstairs, they're all in a non-human state.

They are human beings, but not normal people. Even though everything looks normal from their outward appearance, and they even have a heartbeat.

The home of the person destined for the deceased was beyond Bai Mu's expectations; it was simply too...

"Why don't you stay at the hotel with me? By the way, can you really stay safe here?"

The place where the person in question lives can only be described as terrible; it's a desert city. Even though the greenery here is quite good, the White Curtain doesn't expect there to be no extremely impoverished areas here.

The person in question lived in a particularly impoverished area of ​​a desert city; to put it bluntly, it was a slum!

Chaos, violence, and eroticism permeate this place.

This place feels like the city's garbage dump.

Given the person's appearance, life here will definitely not be peaceful.

Bai Mu wanted to ask her if she had eaten too much before staying there.

"This place can conceal my presence," the protagonist whispered. "There are demons in this city... Why are your eyes shining?"

"Demons are great! I have a demon friend here who likes demons."

Bai Mu patted the demonic greatsword he was carrying, which was wrapped in cloth.

With the weapon case and the demon greatsword, Bai Mu was so powerful that no one dared to mess with him even in the slums.

This includes the presence of pickpockets and other individuals with ulterior motives.

It's okay to steal things, but there's no need to steal from someone as obviously unapproachable as Bai Mu. Besides, Bai Mu is dressed simply, and the most valuable things he has are probably the box and the huge weapon hanging on it.

Pickpockets are powerless against these two things; if they could take them away, they wouldn't need to be pickpockets, they'd just be robbers.

"I see." The Fate Master glanced at the weapon that Bai Mu was carrying.

Lexenberg couldn't help but ask, "Can you see my destiny?"

The person in charge shook their head: "We have no connection, and the one connected to you is him, so he will get into a lot of trouble because of you..."

She didn't know what kind of trouble it was, but Bai Mu was entangled by a fate tinged with malice.

"And most of the time I don't even look at these things."

At most, she would observe the intertwined fates of two regions, and only intervene to maintain stability if the balance was affected.

She doesn't look at people or other things much; once she's looked at them too much, there's nothing interesting left to see.

Some people might find it interesting, but what happens when something interesting becomes work?

"You little girl, you sound so useless."

The subject smiled but didn't explain much. She didn't want to get involved with many people, which was related to Lexenberg's attitude.

It's not because of this demon, but because many people share similar views with this demon.

After learning that she possessed abilities related to fate, the first thing that came to mind was how to make better use of them.

The idea wasn't wrong, but she wouldn't abuse this ability, unlike what others might think, and you could tell from Luxembra's attitude.

"Actually, I think what she said before was quite good. Fate is just a bond that connects people, and how much power this bond can exert depends on both parties."

Bai Mu genuinely thinks the way the person explained their abilities is quite good.

If one uses the channels of fate but does not directly utilize its power, then fate's influence on a person will not be so obvious.

"So, it's never rained here?" Bai Mu stopped talking about fate and looked at the drafty, dilapidated house, asking the Fate Master.

"Yes, but I can prevent the rain from getting in," the person replied with a smile.

She is a monster, not a human, and possesses special powers, so rain doesn't affect her.

Now, because of the White Curtain, she no longer needs to live here. As for the previous owner of this small, dilapidated house, he is dead, dead without a trace. After she came to this city and helped him bury him, she naturally moved in here.

Now that she no longer needs to live here, some of the influence she exerted here has disappeared.

The people in the impoverished area stared in astonishment at the person next to Bai Mu, wondering why such a person would appear in such a place.

"They've noticed you. By the way, after I leave here, you won't get kidnapped, will you?"

Bai Mu asked the master of fate, while Beatrice, who followed him like a secretary, rolled her eyes almost imperceptibly. Bai Mu really wanted to abduct the other party!
"I'm very powerful." The person in question raised their small fist. "And after we become connected, since you don't want anything to happen to me, I'll be influenced by you too."

"So, the opposite is also possible?"

"Hmm, you wouldn't be that bad, would you?"

“Of course not.” Bai Mu shook his head: “My reputation in Rota City is well-established!”

So now he needs to quickly earn enough money for a plane ticket and get back to Rota as soon as possible.

The execution of this task went surprisingly smoothly, and he encountered no obstacles whatsoever.

They successfully dealt with some of Eshra's ruthless bandits, and the protagonist encountered no trouble there.

According to her explanation, the fateful bond formed by the connection brought about an impact.

Things that can be resolved by the White Curtain's abilities are less likely to happen; the easier the White Curtain can resolve them, the lower the likelihood of them happening.

While the possibility of it never happening can't be completely eliminated, the correction brought about by the White Curtain's own destiny has already taken effect.

Therefore, as long as her activities are not too flamboyant, she will not attract any trouble in this city.

At the same time, Bai Mu was also affected by her destiny, and she hoped that Bai Mu could successfully complete what he wanted to do.

As a result, Bai Mu was able to do those things very smoothly.

Even now, the demonic forces in this city haven't paid any attention to the White Curtain.

Of course, the influence of fate is not absolute. The fact that Bai Mu is not noticed is not only due to her influence, but also more related to Bai Mu herself.

Bai Mu has ample experience in dealing with demons, and he also has a powerful demon by his side.

If it is a fragment of Luxenbra that does not possess knowledge of the nameless demon, given the circumstances of the White Curtain, the possibility of it being discovered by the demon is not low.

The person can only reduce this probability, but even if it's 80-20, there's still a 60%.

However, if the white screen itself is of good enough quality, say 60-20, then the impact will be very obvious.

"Here are the car keys. Why don't you come with me?" Bai Mu had earned enough for the plane ticket and didn't plan to continue experiencing the unique features of Eshra.

Part of this city is built underground, while the surface area is mainly used for forging, and the underground part is the gambling city.

Therefore, I have never been to the White Curtain area in the underground city.

"No, I can't leave until things are resolved here."

"What if the problem suddenly breaks out when I'm not around?"

"Then I'll ask you to come back as soon as possible, so please come back soon."

The woman took the car keys left by Bai Mu, lived in the house Bai Mu had rented for her, and sent Bai Mu to the airport in Eshra.

What they are doing now is very common in Eshra—or rather, her current situation is very common in Eshra.

Although this city is in the desert, it is also a haven for sugar daddies. The underground city here is a gambling city, so there are many things involved.

Bai Mu boarded a plane and left. Although the plane was simple, it would at least allow him to fly to the capital of the desert kingdom, Karen, which was located on the edge of the desert, as quickly as possible.

This city is far more prosperous, several times larger than Rota City. It's practically a kingdom, and it's also a major oil-producing region...

"Luxury, luxury! Even if Rota City developed several times over, it still couldn't compare to this place." Bai Mu looked at the city and decided that he would come back here for a proper tour after he returned.

While we're at it, let's cause some trouble for those demons!

Since the demon is no longer chasing him, he's just letting the matter rest?

joke!

Bai Mu will not forget the demons' pursuit, now that he knows where the hellish realm that the demons value is.

Then he'll have to cause trouble for those demons; he's killed demon lords before.

Now that he has experienced many strange dreams, his strength has increased, and dealing with these demons will only become easier and easier, so these demons must all die!

With this new goal in mind, Bai Mu was not blinded by the luxurious city. He transferred at the airport and boarded a plane to the Maple Crown Republic.

Behind those two plane tickets are the heads of several ruthless bandits from Eshra's side.

The cost of flying in this world is just too high, especially for long-distance flights like this.

Such a business simply cannot be supported in areas that are not well-developed.

The capital of the desert kingdom has diplomatic relations with other countries, so its airport is connected to air routes to multiple countries.

The Republic of Maple Crown is not a small country, which is why there are related airfares to that country available here.

However, due to the limitations of this era, flights to that place only run once every two to five days, departing only after a large number of tourists have gathered.

The fact that they can maintain a flight frequency of at least once every two days shows that there are still quite a few wealthy people.

The White Curtain arrived at a very opportune time; the plane from the Maple Crown Republic took off on the very day he arrived.

So White Curtain returned to the Maple Crown Republic on this flight, but she still needed to transfer several times to get back to Rota.

There are no direct flights there.

Bai Mu thought the train was too slow, so he rode the Awakened One directly on the road.

“What amazing speed—” Octavia raced wildly through the night.

Her current speed is beyond what she could have imagined.

With the aura of the white curtain intensifying, her awakened form's strength directly broke through the upper limit, not only reaching the level of an Abyss Being, but even surpassing one.

In this state, she easily ran at a speed far exceeding her own limits, even breaking through a barrier that prevented her from accelerating further.

After breaking through this barrier, her body structure also underwent new changes due to the enhancement of demonic energy, with an additional outer shell that could ignore breaking the sound barrier.

The white curtain that was originally sitting in front of her is now sitting behind her.

She recklessly used her speed to run wildly, quickly approaching Rota City.

Unlike trains or other modes of transportation, she is faster and can ignore terrain.

The Awakened's extraordinary physical abilities allowed Octavia to run so fast that she could even traverse water.

"Rota City, I'm back!" Looking at the outline of Rota City, Bai Mu revealed a nostalgic expression.

A day apart feels like three autumns; he wants to see if the wealth he's worked so hard for is still his own!
