Dream Travel

Chapter 448 The Place of Death
"Are we really going to drive back?"

"Well... I don't have any connections here, so I can't airlift this car back directly."

Bai Mu thought of the half-succubi in Coal Forest City; back then, it was unclear who was manipulating whom...

The tavern owner, Vibel, eventually arranged a transport plane to airlift the things he wanted to take with him back with him.

However, in the desert kingdom, the corresponding 'business' cannot be found.

So let's just drive back. Fuel isn't an issue. Bai Mu has Black Stones; if we run out of fuel, we can just put those things in the gas tank as fuel.

"Alright..." After trying out the new seats, Mine found the improved interior to be quite nice.

The seats are soft, and because the car is so big, the trunk is spacious, and the rear seats can be folded down to make a bed.

Leone might not be able to stretch her legs out, but someone as small as her could lie on it and sleep sprawled out without any problem.

As long as there's a place to sleep, that's fine.

"Will we still have to deal with demons after we get back?" Kuroko, who hadn't said much until now, asked after the car started moving.

She was still not satisfied with this battle against the demons. White Curtain killed many of the demons that had escaped from the hellish realm, while Black Eyes and Red Eyes also killed quite a few.

Dealing with those demons gave them experience, and they knew very well that without weapons that could unleash hellfire, it would be difficult for them to kill those demons with normal weapons.

Even if the weapon used is an Imperial Arms, it won't work.

If the attack fails, there's no way to kill the demon, but the hellfire released by the hellfire weapon can break through the demon's defenses.

Even though they are far weaker than demons, their reaction speed is fast enough, and their weapons are excellent enough, so they can successfully kill demons with special powers.

But those demons were not the original demons after all.

Moreover, she grew to love the Hellfire weapon that Bai Mu gave her the more she used it; the experience of burning everything with Hellfire was amazing!
"There shouldn't be that many demons in Rota City, unless some demons want to retaliate against me."

"Alright." Kuroko sat back down, looking slightly disappointed.

"You guys are bored, play this." Bai Mu took out a deck of cards, which weren't hard to get.

Eshra, a desert city, is itself a 'gambling city,' so it has no shortage of these things.

"You want to come too?" Leone extended an invitation to the white curtain.

The person driving now is the "destined one," someone who, if placed on Earth, would be a serious violation of traffic laws if seen by others.

Even though the subject of the fate was older than anyone else present, she looked younger than anyone else.

If you get caught, you'll have to explain your height and appearance first. As for your age? Show me your ID.

But nobody cares about that in this world.

At least when you're not in the city, nobody cares. And even if you get caught, you can explain it in many ways.

"Let's play something for adults then."

"You're a pervert!" Mine blushed.

"Whoever loses in the end will help me organize these video files." Bai Mu took out the Dream Erosion camera and Dream Erosion storage disk.

I put them on my laptop. Having a weapon case that can discharge electricity is so convenient when I'm out and about.

He never experienced the anxiety of running out of battery with his electronic devices.

"……That's it?"

“We could also have more of the other things.” Mine didn’t speak. She glanced at Akame, who neither wanted to express an opinion nor disagreed.

Black Eyes, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.

The person in question is focused on driving...

"Then come on."

Mine was reluctant to admit that she was very interested in the computer in White Curtain's hands.

After arriving in reality, she had already seen the computer that Bai Mu used.

However, she didn't know how to use it. After being exposed to television, she realized the convenience and entertainment value of 'technology'.

I've always wanted to get my hands on a computer, but I've never had the chance.

"You'd better think this through, this thing can easily affect your eyesight."

"I won't play anymore."

Mine replied bluntly, "Affects eyesight?" She was curious, but then again, if it affected eyesight, then that was another matter!

"But if you've used the recovery-enhanced virus, you don't need to worry about this issue."

The girl with pink pigtails glared fiercely at Bai Mu, then sat cross-legged on the reclined back seat: "Let's get started!"

Some people want to win, and some people want to lose, so the outcome of this game was determined from the very beginning.

Mine looked at Akame, who had the lowest total score, and then at the cards in her hand. She couldn't understand why losing had become so difficult when winning wasn't so easy.

“I’m not good at this,” Akame said.

Mine felt that her explanation was somewhat awkward.

She glanced regretfully at the white-screened laptop, then asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

"No, but the boss will teach me."

"..." Mine's expression was indescribable, and she remained silent when she could say nothing.

She can watch from the side.

"Come on, everyone, learn this. It's really fun."

Bai Mu invited others, and aside from anything else, once there were more people, everyone could play games online when they had nothing else to do.

Online games are unavailable due to real-world limitations, but there are plenty of offline games that can be played online.

The White Curtain's 'Civilization Storage Disk' wasn't just for show; he'd used it countless times to download all sorts of data while dealing with the Dream Source issue...

If it weren't for the fact that he could record some special learning materials himself, he might need to download some.

"Do you know how to use a computer?" Mine asked her master.

"No, but I learn very quickly." The driver replied without turning his head, "I can learn just by listening to you." "That's amazing?" Mine hesitated for a moment before joining the class.

The journey is long, so I need to find something to do.

As long as you're not worried about breaking the computer, you can learn to use it quickly by tinkering with it as much as you like.

In most cases, unless there is physical damage, computer problems are not that difficult to solve.

Besides knowing how to operate a computer, they also know how to drive; they were in the countryside, where there were wide roads everywhere.

Learning to drive is easier.

"Are there fish this big in the water?" After leaving the desert, they arrived at a seaside.

Leone looked at the fish leaping out of the water with a surprised expression.

Bai Mu looked at the Dream Erosion camera. It hadn't captured the scene from earlier, but he was certain that the fish wasn't a whale.

Instead, it was a different kind of fish that I had never seen before!
That fish didn't look like it came from the local area at all.

"How about we go fishing?"

"Do you have a fishing rod?" Mine glanced at the things in the car.

"No, but I have new energy fishing tools."

Bai Mu then looked at his weapon case.

Mine didn't react for a moment.

"Electrofishing is illegal," the person in question suddenly said.

"Hmm? You have this saying there too?"

"Of course, the place I lived in before I came into this world also had electrical appliances, but I didn't come into contact with them much."

The person in question seemed somewhat melancholy.

She wasn't alone in her own world, and thinking about it now is pointless.

“It shouldn’t be illegal here,” Bai Mu said, but he didn’t use any new energy fishing methods.

Fishing is fine, but there's no need to use methods that are too destructive.

Besides, after such a long delay, the strange fish in the water should have gone far away by now.

"It's so hot, how about we go to the beach?"

"I won't go." Mine was tempted but rejected White Curtain's suggestion.

They didn't prepare swimsuits, how are they going to play at the beach? Wearing normal underwear is definitely not an option.

"Sigh, let's go. We'll come again another time."

Bai Mu took photos with the Dream Erosion camera to commemorate the occasion.

Crossing the sea was not difficult for them; the vehicle was not amphibious, but the demon's magic made it amphibious.

Otherwise, if you want to cross this sea quickly, you'll have to find a boat. Cruise ships are fine, but if it's just a makeshift cargo ship...

Given the era's problems in this world, coupled with Leone and the others' appearances, if they were to board the cargo ship, he would likely become the captain halfway through the journey.

Meilin City.

As they passed through this place, the white curtain summoned Beatrice.

The female alchemist was speechless after seeing the city; she was furious but dared not speak out.

That bastard definitely did it on purpose!

She died here, and the White Curtain summoned her as it passed by. This guy might even inhumanely make her write a reflection.

"Excuse me... is there anything I can do for you?"

Beatrice's voice was somewhat stiff.

"Buying things? Didn't you say it's easier to get alchemy materials in border cities?"

Bai Mu explained the reason for summoning Atreus: "We'll be moving to a new place when we get back, and the alchemy workshop will be much bigger. Since we're passing through here, we should prepare some things in advance."

"Is that so?" Beatrice stared at the white curtain for a moment, finally suppressing the guilt that would never have arisen in the first place.

She was a young old woman over a hundred years old, and it was clear that even if Bai Mu thought that way, he was still quite interested in having some fun!

To make her revisit the place where she died is too hellish!
"She seems very angry?" Leone asked White Curtain as they entered Coal Forest City and Atreus was purchasing alchemical materials on her own. "What's wrong?"

"She died near this city."

Leone immediately understood: "You're so mean."

"She's a bad woman to begin with. How am I any worse than her? I need to go see someone."

"Where to... um? A woman?" Noticing that Bai Mu hesitated, Leone immediately realized the problem.

"Specifically, she's the woman who runs a tavern."

Leone said without hesitation, "Then let's go together."

Whether she was a woman or not didn't matter; she just wanted to see the tavern that woman owned.

While in Rota, she didn't have the opportunity to visit places like pubs and bars.

I left that city not long after.

After arriving in the desert city of Ashra, White Curtain fought against the primal demons in the streets, and there was neither the opportunity nor the time to go to a local drinking place.

In the oasis town near the Desert Dream Cemetery, she was incredulous to find that there were no taverns, only places that sold alcohol.

“The other party is a half-human, half-succubus,” Bai Mu continued to explain.

"A demon?"

"Let's go check on the half-demon first." Bai Mu didn't continue, mainly because Lily knew the tavern owner, Vibel, so even if she had demon blood, Bai Mu wouldn't get excited.

He enjoys dealing with demons, but he's not a demonic person.
