Dream Travel

Chapter 456 You're Busy and Have Little Time
"Can't virus-modified organisms wear clothes?" Upon entering the lab, Bai Mu's first thought was what he wanted to see.

"Why wear it if you have the right conditions?" Evefeya countered.

If conditions don't allow for it, you can just inject the enhanced virus directly into the arm or neck. But if conditions allow and the environment is suitable, of course you should use the most appropriate method.

This makes it easier to observe and record, and allows for the immediate detection of any abnormal changes in an individual's purchases.

Moreover, the liquid they are soaking in is a nutrient solution that is suitable for strengthening the virus, and even a little more fabric will affect the absorption efficiency.

Even if that impact is insignificant, why ignore it when the conditions are right?

"That makes sense. Do you know about what happened in Meilin City?"

"What happened over there?" Evefeya asked White Curtain.

The reality of internet development is not like some fantastical world where the internet covers the entire globe and you can easily learn about all sorts of things.

“Something unusual has happened in Meilin City. I got my hands on something special from there.”

"What is it?"

"A black liquid that can catalyze the emergence of monsters. I'd like to ask if you can develop a targeted virus for it?"

After thinking for a moment, Evefeya said, "Then you have to let me know what it is."

Bai Mu took out a small bottle of black water.

Evefeya frowned slightly as she looked at the somewhat rough container. She didn't touch it directly, but instead took precautions to protect herself before handling it.

Holding this, Evefeya conducted a test.

"...How did you obtain this?"

After initial testing, Evefeya confirmed that this thing is far more potent than many biochemical viruses.

Of all the biochemical viruses she knew, many couldn't defeat this thing.

Bai Mu handed over his Dream Erosion Camera, which contained a large number of photos of aliens.

"It seems that this thing can hatch into different types depending on the host. I've even encountered a demon version."

“I saw it.” Evefeya quickly flipped through the photos, thinking about how she could use them.

She wasn't so blind as to arbitrarily control this 'black water'; her expertise lay in viruses, while the black water wasn't a virus but something else entirely.

This thing is more like a bunch of 'microorganisms', and whether ingested, injected, or even touched directly, it will have a great impact on the person who comes into contact with it.

Then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will cause changes and mutations in their DNA.

The biochemical viruses she specializes in are more inclined towards a 'symbiotic' form, compensating for the deficiencies of an individual.

Some viruses can cause severe mutations in individuals, but do not cause the same problems when used on humans.

The photos taken by Bai Mu also proved this point, but those facehuggers and the like, since they did not mutate through the black water.

"I need to study this thing. Using it directly could easily cause problems," Evereya reminded White Curtain.

Even with a special constitution, this thing can still cause harm, or it may simply be ineffective.

"What I want to know is whether it's possible to create a virus that can destroy this thing?"

"Then you'll have to give me time." Evereya put the black water into a storage box.

"This is all you want?"

"If it exists, that would be great; if not, forget it. This thing is very dangerous. Demons become more dangerous after being parasitized; what if an even more powerful demon were parasitized?"

"Did you underestimate those demons?" Evereya shook her head.

How do more powerful demons parasitize? Demons themselves possess magical powers that can provide special protection for individuals.

When individuals are attacked by viruses or similar pathogens, these pathogens are less likely to function properly. The same applies to this; special powers like magic make it difficult for things that only work on a physical level to be fully effective.

Of course, if an entity with special powers is not strong enough, it will still have a normal function; otherwise, there would be no demonic aliens.

"Let me make a copy of these documents. I'll let you know when I have some results. Are you still living in the same place?"

"No, I've moved. If you can't find me, you can leave a message for Lily."

“Okay.” Then Evelyn brought up another matter; she needed White Curtain’s help to bring Denise out.

"You convinced her?" Bai Mu asked, somewhat surprised.

“It’s not difficult, and I promised her she could go back anytime.”

"...My reason?"

"That's right, are we going to get our marriage certificate?" Evefeya abruptly changed the subject, seemingly annoyed by something.

"As before, a nominal relationship is enough. You can come to me directly if you have any needs."

“That sounds like a lot of trouble,” Bai Mu said sincerely.

Evefeya's tone was devoid of emotion, solely driven by a desire to avoid trouble.

"You're busy and have little time, so we won't bother each other too much. No one is more suitable than you."

Evefeya spoke calmly.

Bai Mu isn't a bad person; the incident with Rui Fu is the best proof of that. As for time, Bai Mu's absence for one or two months at a time won't cause her any time disruption.

In addition, with so many women around Bai Mu, even if he needs her, it will only take a day or two at most.

He also enjoys interacting with otherworldly dreams, which means that White Veil has a higher probability of bringing out special biological materials.

Who is more ideal than him?

"The key is the people behind you; I don't want to have any trouble with that."

Bai Mu didn't want to get involved with any families or special forces.

He should just be a free person who enjoys exploring otherworldly dreams as a hobby; getting involved in this stuff will only bring trouble.

He can do some things, but he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

As for resources, he has no shortage of them. He can obtain new Dream Erosion equipment every time he comes into contact with the Otherworld.

As for other resources, he also has his own partners. Lily, to say nothing of other things, has at least not involved him in any special forces so far.

If Evereya maintains the existing relationship, that's fine, but if things go according to her plan, then there will be problems.

"You're overthinking it. I have ways to get rid of those troubles you care about. If you don't want to have contact with them, you won't."

"I'll think about it when I get back." Bai Mu looked at Leone and the others; Mine seemed to be waking up soon.

To prevent the person who was about to wake up from screaming, Bai Mu left the laboratory first.

After that, the others left the laboratory one after another, with Leone being the last one.

“Her physical condition is already different from that of ordinary people, so the virus takes effect more slowly.”

Evefeya spoke as if it were a very ordinary matter, without even mentioning any precautions. She already knew about Leone's constitution during the physical examination.

The enhanced virus has been adjusted accordingly and will not cause any problems.

"If you are going to see River within a month, please ask me to come with you. In the meantime, I will study the things you sent over."

Her original plan was that she couldn't wait until Bai Mu returned, but she could wait after he came back.
