Dream Travel

Chapter 416 How long are you going to remain the acting bureau chief?

"Why not me?" Luciela was very unhappy with Bai Mu's actions.

“You’ve already eaten your body, so don’t even think about your sister’s body anymore.” Bai Mu glanced at Lucy Ella.

"Have you adapted yet?" asked Lahana, who was getting used to her body.

“It’s a little different, but it’s fine,” Laphana said hesitantly.

She now feels that her body is vastly different from before; even the changes that eliminated the original drawbacks of the greatsword are not as significant as they are now.

There is a special power within the body, which is different from demonic energy, but after merging with demonic energy, it greatly changes the nature of demonic energy.

The most noticeable change is her demonic aura membrane.

Through her demonic aura, which possesses the properties of demonic power, the range of her demonic aura membrane has increased significantly, and she can now perceive the movements of things with greater precision.

However, with the increased range of the demonic energy membrane, it means she needs to perceive more information, making the original range of the demonic energy membrane less effective.

Afterwards, Lafayette tried a temporary awakening, and she directly gave Bai Mu a demonic transformation.

Although she doesn't have demon horns, she does have demon wings, and she also lacks the traditional fire power possessed by demons.

The demonic power it displays is a product of the combination of the greatsword's unique demonic aura.

Therefore, while this demonic power can be projected outwards, its effect on enhancing one's own body is more pronounced.

"What is this demonic power?" After the white curtain released Luxenbra, the fragments of the demon began to point and gesticulate.

According to Lexenberg, the demonic power contained within Raphael's body was corrupted.

Neither human nor demon, it is a mutated power resulting from the fusion of a demon and another creature.

This power cannot grant demonic flames to those with demonic powers, and its application of demonic magic is certainly inferior to that of the original demonic power.

As for how powerful this force could be, the fragments of Luxembra did not offer much comment.

The nameless demon's knowledge made him less 'arrogant'.

No matter how unwilling he is to admit it, he cannot deny the potential of humanity. With such a large population, there will always be some oddballs who emerge.

Although the demonic power currently contained within Raphael's body is abnormal, it cannot be denied that this power is not strong enough.

We can mock them after we've confirmed that this power is truly inadequate.

"It should be related to the demonic energy of the greatsword." Lafayette didn't understand demons and was completely unaware of her own physical condition.

And there are no real opponents in this world.

She can only test herself against the white curtain.

The test results were quite good. The demonic power that had been fused with demonic energy not only gave Raphael a stronger burst of power, but the expanded demonic energy membrane was also able to capture the high-speed sword of the white curtain.

The fragments of Lexenberg next to it also revealed some clues.

The demonic power possessed by Raphael's body was of considerable quality.

After all, it was modified by Atris using pure demon blood, which originally had no bias or special characteristics.

Therefore, the demonic power granted by the demon's blood became tainted with that attribute after it came into contact with the demonic power contained in Raphael's body.

This resulted in a perfect fusion, and as a result, Raphael's demonic power was unlike that of a traditional demon, but its quality was not diminished.

It's just that the nature of the power caused a problem with the imbalance of demonic power.

Traditional demonic power focuses 20% on passively enhancing the demon's body, with the remainder primarily used for spellcasting.

Even demonic spells that enhance the body are within the scope of the spell.

The demonic power that Raphael's body possesses is the opposite.

The focus is as high as 80% on passive enhancements, with the remaining 20% ​​dedicated to spellcasting.

This emphasis doesn't mean her power projection is weak; she can still project power, and its intensity is comparable to that of normal demonic power.

However, due to the overemphasis on passive enhancement, her demonic power is more like the 'battle aura' wielded by warriors than 'magic power'!
Once this was understood, the fragments of Lexenberg were relieved and could simply treat this demonic power as demonized battle aura.

This power is quite suitable for greatswords, which excel in close combat.

After completing the test, Bai Mu arrived at an abandoned town where there were no corpses left.

There were many remaining traces of the battle, and he took a lot of photos there before leaving.

The abandoned town was where Yuri and Chito once lived. After knowing the approximate location, Shiro used a mental scan through a scope to locate it.

Anyway, I'm just here to freeload off Mengshi as a 'deliveryman' and take some commemorative photos for my friends.

Afterwards, they returned to the town where the Dream Source was located, and Bai Mu left with the Night Owl Mining preparation boxes.

Bai Mu didn't bother to find out what was in the box; his only responsibility was to bring it back.

The dream world is full of special technologies, and real-world companies that treat this place like a mine can always find some new technologies here.

"Twelve..." After figuring out the number of Dream Erosion Crystals, Bai Mu estimated that this was about the number of Dream Erosion Crystals he would bring out when he normally entered and exited the Dream Realm.

I didn't have this many before, but now I can bring out so many just by going in and out normally. Maybe I've become stronger?
"Who cares, the more the better." Bai Mu put away the Dream Erosion Crystals and left the Night Owl Mining branch.

After that, he went straight to the processing center. "You're going to the alternate dream with the technological ghosts? What for?" Borei thought Bai Mu was going to the alternate dream with a girlfriend, but it turned out to be another one?
"Why wouldn't you want a free deliveryman?"

“…Okay, I’ll arrange it now.” Borei didn’t press for a reason; since Bai Mu wanted to be a free deliveryman, he would let him be.

Anyway, that alternate dream has been developed to a certain extent.

Although the location of the Source of Another Dream is unclear, the Another Dream Terminal is still there, and the technological level in that Another Dream World is not low.

While large-scale development is not feasible, acquiring basic resources is still possible.

Those computers, mobile phones, and other communication devices are all resources that are really needed in reality.

It can be used for research or other purposes.

This time, the white curtain was cleared, and a lot of equipment was brought out without damage.

Within the Rota Disposal Bureau, White Curtain's delivery capabilities are widely recognized as formidable.

As a result, the Rota City Bureau of Justice even influenced the Ministry of the Interior's investigation.

We can't let Bertrand actually poach them, can we?
Even if they poach the White Curtain, it doesn't necessarily mean the White Curtain will be willing to accept reassignment, since the other party isn't an official.

Bai Mu didn't waste much time this time; he only went for two days to get a basic understanding of the area around Yimengyuan.

The ruined city where the Source of Another Dream is located has been emptied.

The garrison stopped monitoring the area because of a recent explosion.

Although the explosion did not destroy the nuclear power plant, it destroyed most of the facilities inside.

The cost of reconstruction seemed too high, and with important equipment destroyed, the area fell out of favor.

The agency investigated the aftermath and found that the reason the local US military was not paying attention to the area, besides the destruction of the nuclear power plant facilities, seemed to be related to the leakage of research technology from the site.

They originally wanted to monopolize this technology, but the technology was 'leaked'.

Once the opportunity to monopolize the city was lost, its value decreased even further.

After being thoroughly investigated by investigators, it was completely abandoned.

Then this place became the 'base' of the various departments handling the matter.

Locals may not know some things, but outsiders do: the most important technological equipment here has been destroyed, but the Source of the Dream has not disappeared.

The source of that strange dream moves about in this ruined city in the form of a ghost.

During the two days that Bai Mu was here, he met with the other party once.

The reason Marius could become a ghost detached from technological devices is fundamentally because this is his place of origin.

Marius had this problem when he was chatting with Bai Mu.

He had no problems within the ruined city; the Bose Ghost's body was very stable. However, once he left the city too far, his body would become unstable.

He is trying to solve this problem.

For this purpose, Julius and the various departments involved in the activities in the ruined city made contact.

But his level of trust in those people was clearly not as high as Bai Mu's.

Bai Mu kept his promise and took the relevant technical information with him.

Back then, this ruined city was completely sealed off, making it difficult for Bai Mu to leave.

Without a white curtain to take the technology out, the blockade of this place will always remain at the highest level.

He also couldn't find an opportunity to trigger an explosion at the nuclear power plant, destroying the equipment and ruining the last remaining value of the city in ruins.

Therefore, after Bai Mu returned, he naturally wanted to have a good talk with Bai Mu.

Their conversation was limited to catching up and exchanging updates. Marius didn't bring up any technical topics, knowing that Bai Mu wouldn't understand.

After catching up, he returned to his hidden laboratory to continue working on his unstable physical condition.

Meanwhile, Bai Mu returned to the headquarters of the Rota City Disposal Bureau, leaving this strange dream with the modern equipment they had prepared.

This dream yielded more Dream Erosion Crystals, 14 in total, likely because he had direct contact with the Dream Source within this dream.

After leaving this alternate dream, Bai Mu prepared to go to the last alternate dream.

"What's wrong with you...?" Bo Lei asked Bai Mu with a hint of unease. He shouldn't interfere in Bai Mu's life, but Bai Mu's current crazy behavior was somewhat worrying.

"I'm being watched by a bunch of demons, I need to find another dream to get stronger." Bai Mu didn't delve into this topic, but changed the subject: "By the way, haven't you had enough of being the acting director yet?"

“Soon.” Borei’s eye twitched.

He even suspected that Director Oscar had gone on vacation and left him here to cover for him.

Business trip? How can a director of the Bureau of Handling Affairs be away on a business trip for a whole month?
Borre also contacted Oscar, and the reply he received was that what Whitebeard did was confirmed and true.

However, the application process for the Maple Crown Medal is lengthy, which will require Borre to spend more time and effort at the processing center...
