Dream Travel

Chapter 431 Investigate First

"You are finally back."

Seeing Bai Mu return, the protagonist's face lit up with joy; she knew Bai Mu would come back.

"It's a little late, but it shouldn't have a big impact, right?"

The person in charge shook their head: "It's not that serious. For you, resolving the strange dream is a very simple matter."

"Don't state your facts like that. I've only encountered less than ten different dreams." Bai Mu clicked his tongue. If he had known about the existence of the dream graveyard, it would have been much easier for him to encounter different dreams.

But I wish I had known sooner.

But Bai Mu didn't regret it. It's not too late to know now, and at least he doesn't regret his experience.

"There will be more and more."

With a smile on his face, the person in charge looked at the people around Bai Mu and said, "They are all very outstanding people."

"...You didn't kidnap her, did you?" Mine asked the white curtain in a low voice. The master of fate looked even younger than her.

Although she possesses a mature demeanor that doesn't match her appearance, people tend to value appearance more.

"Of course not, don't talk nonsense, she tricked me." Bai Mu immediately retorted.

Even without the power of the Fate Master, Bai Mu might still have come to the desert city of Eshra, but with the influence of the Fate Master's power, the possibility of Bai Mu coming here is much higher.

Next, he still has some things to deal with regarding alternate dreams, like saving the world. It sounds a bit far-fetched, but he'll see how it goes when he encounters it.

The idea that the world would be destroyed because of a strange dream seems a bit unlikely, doesn't it?
“I really need White Curtain’s help.” The Fate Master looked at Mine and said with a smile, “It’s great that you don’t have my troubles.”

"...Related to dream erosion?"

The person in charge smiled and nodded: "You don't need to worry too much. I can tell that it's related to one's own abilities, and others won't easily find out."

"Hmm, how have you been living here lately?"

The white curtain looked elsewhere, seemingly oblivious to the presence of the Fate Master.

The person's mood improved: "That's great! Although your car can't be driven, everything else is fine."

"Okay, let's go see where you're staying first."

Then Bai Mu looked at the car he had left behind and fell silent. He asked the Fate Master, "You've been living here all this time?"

The car, which originally retained the smell of blood from its battles in hell and its fights against demons in the real world, no longer smells of blood; instead, it has a faint, exotic fragrance.

"Actually, it doesn't matter where I live."

Bai Mu was getting ready to go to a hotel. Who would stay in this beat-up car for no reason? He had clearly made some preparations before leaving.

This vehicle is designed for hell; it offers virtually no comfort and is nowhere near the size of a motorhome.

This car has no advantages other than being durable; it's just that it has a different paint job than before.

Bai Mu opened the fuel tank and looked inside; the 'fuel' affected by the black stone had been completely consumed.

?

He looked at the person in question, a young-looking fox girl who seemed slightly embarrassed.

"I ran a little bit too far."

"It's ok."

Bai Mu bought a bucket of water, filled the car with it, and then threw the black stone into it. Under the influence of the black stone, the ordinary water turned into hellish water, as the black stone itself was superior to hellfire and hellmetal.

"If you use this properly, it will be of great help to you," the Master reminded Bai Mu.

"I can become the Lord of Hell? I'll kill those demons first!"

On the way to the hotel, Bai Mu noticed that there were many unusual figures in the city. After thinking for a moment, he put the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm into his eyes, and the information he saw immediately became much richer.

"When did so many demons appear here?"

“After you left.” Sitting in the passenger seat, the woman swung her little feet and looked at the situation behind the car through the slightly broken rearview mirror.

The car is actually quite big, and even with Leone and the others squeezed into the back seat, it didn't feel too crowded.

"What a coincidence? How's the demons doing here?" Bai Mu felt his weapon case stirring; the new equipment inside needed to see some blood.

"The city has always been influenced by demons, but their influence is even greater in the dungeons."

"The dungeon? What's over there?" Leone asked curiously.

"There's a casino there; it's not a good place. Don't even think about going there."

“Oh.” Leone nodded obediently. Casinos, huh? The place where she used to live wasn’t a good place either.

After joining the revolutionary army and engaging in assassination work, he also witnessed many heinous incidents related to gambling.

She wasn't curious about this thing.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Bai Mu ignored the astonished look of the waiter and directly booked a large suite.

He came prepared for this trip and had plenty of funds.

This is where the advantage of having money comes in; you don't have to worry about funding when undertaking certain important tasks.

Only with enough wealth can one support oneself to do various things.

"Finally, I can get some rest." Upon entering the room, Mine immediately placed her suitcase on the floor and wanted to lie down on the large, soft bed.

But considering her own situation, she suppressed her impulse.

"Go take a shower first!" Mine looked at her master with some curiosity: "You've been living in that car, how do you take a shower?"

"There are special bathing areas here, and I have money," the protagonist explained with a smile. Because of the underground city, water resources are plentiful in Ashra, and given that it's a desert region, there are plenty of places to bathe.

Mine couldn't wait to go and see the bathroom. It was a very large bathroom with a pool, so they could all take a bath together.

"You're not allowed to come along." After glancing warily at the white curtain, Mine was the first to enter the bathroom.

"Sigh..." Bai Mu opened the door to another small room in the suite, where he would be staying as expected.

Although he had considered indulging in a life of debauchery, for now it's just a thought.

There is no city defense agreement here in Eshra, so White Veil can summon Luxembra at will.

"Oh ho, you really came back? You actually believed that fox?"

The summoned Lexenberg grinned and glanced around the room: "Are you really going to put yourself through this?"

He could sense several beautiful souls within the large suite.

He could sense that when those soul stones were being processed, his involvement made it much harder for other demons to detect it.

"Alright, quite a few demons have appeared in this city. What can you find?"

“You have to take me out for a walk,” the fragment of Luxembla said after a moment of thought. “There is no city defense agreement here, but there are other measures to deal with high-end forces.”

He sensed it briefly and indeed detected the presence of some demons outside Bai Mu's residence, which was a serious problem.

There weren't so many demons when they last came here.

Although the demons that appeared were not the original demons, but rather inferior demons created by the original demons, their numbers were still somewhat off.

The fragments of Lexenberg and the White Curtain are in the same boat, so he takes the White Curtain's work very seriously.

"Okay, I'll go for a walk."

Bai Mu left the small room and saw clothes scattered all over the floor.

He walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"What do you want to do?!" the girl screamed.

"Darling, do you want to come along?" Leone's voice followed.

"I'm going out for a walk to investigate some things."

Leon, who was being pulled along by Mine, felt disappointed. She had wanted to wait until Mine and the others finished showering so she could invite Shiro to shower with them...

Akame stepped out of the pool, approached the entrance, and asked through the door, "Do you need me to come with you?"

“I’m with Lexenberg.”

“…” Luxenbra? Akame immediately thought of that enormous demon that was about three meters tall.

"Hahaha, then we're off!" Luxenbra laughed heartily.

The laughter gradually returned to a normal human voice.

He transformed into a burly man nearly two meters tall with slightly reddish skin.

His strong physique meant that wherever he went, he would be treated as a dangerous individual and closely monitored.

"That's too high-profile, find something else."

White Curtain was not surprised by the changes in Lexenbra. After obtaining the memories of the nameless demon, the fragments of Lexenbra became the complete demon.

He has revived the demon's fighting style, deceptive tactics, and so on.

Compared to the genuine Luxembourg, the only difference between the two demons is that the hardware is the same, but the operating system is different.

“I think it’s pretty good.” Lexenberg looked at his huge fist and felt that he had already compromised a lot.

Although demons are humanoid creatures, their aesthetic sense is still somewhat different from that of humans.

"I don't think this is good. I'm already attracting a lot of attention from the devil. Aren't you just making things difficult for me?"

"That's right, then let's split up."

Lexenberg has no intention of continuing to transform. Although he can use the deceptive methods that demons excel at to transform into a giant thunder woman, that transformation is for the purpose of deception.

He wouldn't do something like a succubus when there's no profit to be made.

"You... never mind, don't disappoint me."

Bai Mu simply stopped going out.

"Hahaha, leave it to me." Lexenberg laughed loudly, and as he opened the door and went out, his figure disappeared.

He left the hotel normally and then appeared on the street without anyone noticing.

The Demon Fragment's smile vanished, and he glanced at the hotel area.

The situation in this city is a little 'worse' than when I last visited.

Last time I came, there weren't many demons here, but now the number of demons has increased several times over.

He could sense quite a few primal demons. Although those primal demons weren't strong, they were still worthy of attention just because they were primal demons... Yeah, right!
If it were him six months ago, he would have definitely avoided those primal demons.

Now? Those primal demons are all perfect targets for him!
If it weren't to avoid exposing some of Bai Mu's actions, he would have wanted to directly refine the souls of those primordial demons.

"Let me see what my true self really wants to do."

The fragments of Luxembra, following a familiar power, approached a hidden area of ​​Eshra.
