Dream Travel

Chapter 452 Our Own People
The other party's reaction prompted Bai Mu to immediately give chase. There was no other reason than that if the other party were law enforcement officers who had detected him using mental scanning, they wouldn't have reacted with such guilt.

"Be careful, there are alien larvae nearby, and their blood is corrosive."

Black Eyes and Red Eyes quickly surveyed their surroundings. White Curtain was moving too fast for them to keep up with, but that didn't stop them from finding the 'alien' White Curtain had mentioned.

The commotion caused a faint sound to emerge from the darkness. A ball of fire flashed by, and the approaching monster was ignited by the hellfire.

Akame, who had made the move, quickly retreated, watching as the strange creature was rapidly burned to ashes.

Swish--

Before the retreating Crimson Eyes could land, the sound of creatures leaping rang out. With the white curtain as a reminder, she still did not use a direct close-range approach. Two balls of hellfire from different directions burned the two facehuggers to death.

There were obvious signs of corrosion on the ground. Akame and Kurome exchanged a glance and did not rush to follow the white curtain, but continued to maintain their vigilance.

They didn't know what kind of monster it was, but judging from its actions just now, these monsters moved stealthily, and if they used close combat, the corrosive blood that Bai Mu mentioned would be very dangerous.

"There might be more. Find them," Akame whispered.

Kuroko looked at the trash can not far away, cut a piece off the broken stair railing, and kicked the piece of metal over.

The metal railings and the trash can collided with a loud sound.

Although the surrounding environment was not obvious, she had just clearly seen what the thing that had appeared was.

The creatures resembled scorpions, lacking eyes or other organs, yet they still managed to pinpoint their location with remarkable accuracy when they attacked.

Such creatures either move by sound or by heat sources.

The former is considered part of the basic training for assassins, who also need to have good hearing.

"It seems there aren't any left." After a moment, Kuroko said.

Akame nodded: "It's still best to be careful."

After leaving a message, Bai Mu climbed over the obstacles blocking his way and made some noise. The person trying to light up Bai Mu reacted quickly.

Realizing that the white curtain had discovered him, and even 'saw' him, it quickly retreated.

However, Bai Mu's physical abilities exceeded his expectations.

He hadn't run far when a figure blocked his way.

"Friends, we're all curious about this place, so why don't we pretend we've never met before?"

The man who was stopped tried to negotiate, but the commotion he had made had already spread, and people would be coming soon.

"I'm from the processing bureau." Bai Mu produced the processing bureau's authorization certificate.

Instead of simply glancing the item past the other person in a perfunctory manner, they were made to look at it carefully.

The other party clearly recognized the authorization certificate from the processing bureau.

Although these things are few, they do exist, and since Coal Forest City is also a city in the Maple Crown Republic, the authorization certificates used are all of the same type.

What a bad luck!

The man who was intercepted changed his expression drastically. At first, he thought that Bai Mu had also come with some kind of purpose.

No, the other party did come with a certain purpose, but that purpose, combined with Bai Mu's identity, seemed too official.

Resolving dangerous incidents is also an objective.

A flash of light shone from the man's hand, but before the light could take effect, he felt a fierce wind approaching, and the barrier around him was forcibly broken by a force.

He was grabbed by the neck and lifted up, then slammed to the ground. The impact left him dizzy and unable to concentrate.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The man being held down opened his eyes wide. Through the blur, he saw something crawling behind the white curtain.

That was his purpose in coming here.

Now, the crawling creatures have become his hope, and the strange creatures that swoop down from mid-air are caught by Bai Mu's outstretched hand.

Its limbs began to writhe violently, and its long tail coiled around the white curtain's arm.

But the object was flung away by the white curtain with even greater force, crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces, splattering out strong acid blood that corroded the ground.

The white curtain dragged the restrained man toward the corroded area.

"Wait, wait—I'll tell you everything!" The man, who had difficulty speaking, opened his eyes wide and spoke by vibrating the air with his mental power.

He was afraid that Bai Mu would force him to wash his face in that pile of rotten flesh.

"I'm not a policeman. You came here for this?" Bai Mu loosened his grip slightly.

"Yes, I was just following orders." The man's face was contorted with pain, and he spoke slowly.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and armed personnel arrived.

"Not allowed to move!"

"One of our own!" Bai Mu glanced into the shadows and held up the 'hostage' in his hand.

The man's face was contorted in pain. Bai Mu had captured him with far too much ease, and the subsequent suppression was even more terrifying.

His mental energy, which he tried to pry open the white curtain's palm to ease the pain in his neck, was constantly taking shape and breaking apart under the suppression of the white curtain.

No, it should be said that the fingers that used their mental power to open the white curtain shattered under the pressure before they could withstand it.

"There are no one of our own here except us! Put him down and give up the fight!" The armed men glanced at the corroded pit at Bai Mu's feet and immediately stared back at him: "Don't waste time!" Bai Mu threw the man he had grabbed over, and the two armed men made no attempt to catch him.

Instead, they pointed their guns at the guy, ready to kill him at the first sign of trouble.

Fortunately, the man was rational. He knew that even if he did something, Bai Mu would most likely kill him directly.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

"My processing authority authorization certificate." A card was flipped out between the white curtain's fingers.

An armed man pointed his gun at the authorization certificate in Bai Mu's hand.

"Rota City? What are you doing here? Don't move!"

“I went on a trip, but this happened before I even had a chance to leave. I’m in a hurry to go back now.”

"This is not something you should be involved in. You've overstepped your authority." The captain of the armed squad waved to his allies, who dispersed slightly but remained wary of the white curtain.

"But this monster has also leaked information." Bai Mu glanced at the facehugger's tail on the ground. He had smashed it to pieces, but its presence here meant that the situation was already getting a bit out of control, right?

More than sixty people died?
This number is fabricated...

"The problem is still under control, and we are handling it. Where are you staying now? We'll take you back!"

The local authorities' armed squad clearly did not intend to allow the White Curtain to continue its involvement in the matter.

The people from the Rota City Bureau of Justice came to Meilin City to resolve the case.

It's as if they have no one on their side, even if the white curtain was accidentally involved.

At least we can't get involved in this way; it's not a matter of being enthusiastic or not.

What Bai Mu has in his hand is just an authorization certificate, not even an official staff certificate. If it were an area that hasn't been sealed off yet, and Bai Mu were just a concerned citizen, they wouldn't be so wary.

But this area is already a restricted zone, and the uninvited appearance of the white curtain here is a violation of regulations.

"If you wish to leave early, you can apply directly at the local processing office. Please do not disturb our work now!"

"Okay, remember to contact me if you need any help." Bai Mu told him where he lived and pointed to a few places: "There are a few bugs over there, do you want to take care of them?"

"……sorry to bother you."

Bai Mu felt that the team leader had a promising future.

A few ordinary bullets fell out from a small opening in the weapon case, which he threw out as projectiles.

The facehugger hiding in the shadows was blown up by a stray bullet.

The captain of the armed squad looked grave.

Although Bai Mu was in a sealed-off area, he didn't expect so many insects to have escaped from the quarantine zone.

After the white curtain left, the psychic tried to escape, but he found that he could no longer mobilize his mental energy.

His expression immediately turned grim as he looked at the handcuffs. Something was wrong with these things!

"How did you come up with this?!"

"What did you do?" The armed squad leader walked over and smacked him in the stomach with the butt of his rifle. "Take him away!"

Their people discovered an unusual mental energy scan here. Why didn't they prepare the corresponding items when they came?
"Captain...that person?"

"Report normally, retrieve the monster corpses, and request reinforcements to strengthen the search of this area!"

The captain of the armed squad issued new orders, and Bai Mu produced an authorization certificate, but he couldn't really tell if it was genuine or fake.

Although that thing looks very real, we can't rule out the possibility that it's also a fake. Besides, since Bai Mu is willing to cooperate with the product, they can also superficially cooperate as well.

At least get Bai Mu out of the restricted area first, and then let the Bureau of Investigation investigate how Bai Mu will handle the matter, since Bai Mu did not hide his appearance.

"Were those people here to arrest you?" On the way back, Hei Tong asked Bai Mu in a low voice. She was planning to wait for Bai Mu's signal and kill all those people.

"They are on a mission." Those armed men are not difficult to deal with, but he didn't want to make things difficult for them.

But now that facehuggers have appeared, can Meilin City really handle this situation well?
"You guys go back first. If anyone comes looking for me, just say I went to the local authorities."

“Okay.” Akame said without hesitation; those who do assassinations don’t hesitate much.

After that, Bai Mu acted alone. Instead of summoning the demon, he summoned Livru alone.

The Abyss Being glanced around at the pitch-black surroundings, then crossed his arms and looked at the white curtain: "Where am I? What's going on?"

"I'm in a hurry, so help me with something." Bai Mu said, diverting demonic energy towards Livru through the weapon box.

The Abyss One revealed an excited expression. This demonic aura, surpassing even the abyss itself, was an experience she always found particularly captivating.

"If I didn't have a boyfriend... what would you want to do?"

"There are many scorpion-like monsters here. Find them, catch them, and don't let anyone see you."

Liv nodded; this was indeed a task very suitable for her.

Her awakened form is well-suited for large-scale enemy scouting, and with the support of Bai Mu's demonic energy, she can even lure out things from hidden corners!
How much time do we have?

"Less than an hour."
