Dream Travel

Chapter 560 Special Strange Dream
Borre himself does not support the 'Hell Proposal', but this is not just his own issue.

When a person dies, they are gone. Does it matter whether their soul can be preserved?
Even if the soul goes through reincarnation, the person after reincarnation will not be the same as the current self. Isn't that the same as simply disappearing?

Besides, there was no hell in reality before, but humanity is doing just fine.

Therefore, the main interests of the Hell proposal are directed towards demons or beings that need souls.

Then there are those with ulterior motives. As long as the soul can be preserved well, then even if one dies in an accident, there is a chance to start over.

At this sensitive time, the fact that White Curtain has killed several important demons could very well garner more support for the Hell proposal from demons.

What do you think of the Hell proposal?

"What hellish proposal?" Bai Mu had no idea about this.

Borrell and White Curtain briefly recounted some events from the UN meeting.

Bai Mu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are they out of their minds? If hell were a normal hell, I wouldn't have any objections, but this hell is clearly abnormal."

Is this an integral part of making Hell a reality? White Curtain doesn't know if this was orchestrated by other demons to curry favor with Seraphis, or by Seraphis himself.

But if this hellish proposal were to pass, wouldn't Serafis become the lord of hell?

She can easily beat Seraphis now, but if that succubus really becomes the Lord of Hell, she might not be able to beat him anymore.

Moreover, they have seen the complete hell before. Can the power of real humans really balance the complete hell?
"Yes, but a complete hell can prevent the natural dissipation of souls, and it can also give those who are afraid of death a new chance."

"That's just making trouble out of nothing, but I can't influence this matter... Killing a few demons won't have much of an impact, right?"

"At least don't think about it for now." Borei knew immediately that Bai Mu was planning something big.

"After things settle down in the Hellish Realm, you can continue pursuing your hobbies. Didn't you want to go to the Hellish Realm? I happen to have a good target here, not a difficult dream."

"I'm not interested in that." Bai Mu was looking for a high-difficulty source of another dream.

It should be high-difficulty and ideally free of gods, demons, monsters, or immortals. He's already been tricked once and doesn't want to experience it a second time.

“But there are real illegal organizations involved, and some of them are quite troublesome.” Borre pulled out a document: “This is a task assigned by the Ministry of the Interior.”

"Let me take a look first." Bai Mu flipped through the document, which contained detailed information about the strange dream.

But this strange dream was too ordinary, so ordinary that even Bai Mu couldn't muster any enthusiasm... Wait, what is a time machine?!

Bai Mu carefully checked and confirmed that he hadn't misread it. In a strange dream world without any special powers, the words "time machine" had actually appeared.

A time machine?

Borei nodded. The task assigned by the Ministry of the Interior was that even though most things in the dream world seemed ordinary, just a 'time machine' could make this dream world special.

What's worse is that they didn't discover this alternate dream world first; rather, the Maple Crown Republic seized an alternate dream terminal during an operation.

The convenience of the Dream Terminal made the organization that developed this Dream Source unable to resist using it, which is why it left a flaw that was exposed.

Otherwise, this organization could still secretly develop this alternate dream.

This can be considered one of the benefits of the Dream Terminal becoming more legitimate. After the Ministry of the Interior's operations department seized the Dream Terminal and conducted a follow-up investigation, it was immediately copied.

Furthermore, this alternate dream terminal was included in the development plan of the aerospace project. An alternate dream world with a time machine means that everything can be 'accelerated'.

This alternate dream has enormous potential. If its development can be successfully completed, the 'results' of future technological or other advancements can be immediately seen through the time machine.

The developers only need to plant the corresponding seeds, bury them, and then use a time machine to travel to the future to obtain mature research results in the shortest possible time.

For the developers of Yimeng, this not only saves a lot of time but also significantly reduces risks.

They don't need to work in the dream world for ten or twenty years. Once the initial development is completed, they can probably accomplish in just a few days what would take decades to do.

The Republic of Maple Crown attaches great importance to the development of its space program; otherwise, this peculiar dream would not have been included in the space development program.

The Maple Crown Republic attempted to win over this organization, but failed.

They want to grow bigger and stronger, not cooperate with the Maple Crown Republic.

Given the unique nature of this strange dream, they are indeed capable of doing so; the only limitation is the conditions of reality.

"Then the question is, how do the people from the Processing Bureau manage to stay afloat in a time machine-like dream?"

“We didn’t get a firm footing,” Borre said frankly. “The Dream Terminal was delivered only a few days ago, and the Local Processing Bureau is still in the contact stage. The National Academy of Science and Technology only managed to set up a base not long ago.”

Borei described the current situation in the alternate dream, explaining that the Maple Crown Republic had not been exposed when it first discovered the alternate dream terminal.

The dream walkers who conducted the investigation were also experts. After discovering the peculiarity of this strange dream, they immediately carried out the crucial 'seizure' operation.

The dream walker from the Academy of Sciences did not see the time machine or the source of the alternate dream, but he found something even more important.

Borei didn't elaborate on how the creators of the time machine found and won over the other party. The key point is that this native is far more important than the source of the dream.

After the Dreamwalker found the other party and took the native away, he essentially seized control of the organization's lifeline.

If the maker can build one time machine, they can build a second one!
This caused the organization to become impatient; otherwise, with their time machine, they could have simply ignored the people of the Maple Crown Republic.

As long as the two sides are not at the same point in time, no matter what they do, it won't make a difference. But now they can't ignore it no matter what.

"So it was about clearing land... no, it was about seizing food."

"Initially, we focused on negotiation and courting them. The country had promised them many favorable conditions, but their ambitions were too great."

"Do you have any information about this organization?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the Dream Terminal, they wouldn't have been exposed."

Borre produced another document. On the surface, the information about this organization was very simple; it wasn't even an 'organization' at all, but rather a commercial company.

The company specializes in optimizing various technologies and has even accepted some commissions from the Maple Crown Republic. Industry insiders have a very high opinion of the company.

"It looks like a very reputable place," Bai Mu commented on the intelligence.

"It is indeed very formal, otherwise the country would not have approached them in a wooing manner in the beginning, even though they used the Dream Terminal illegally."

When Borre talked about the company, he said that once the company's true nature was exposed, it would put on a show.

But as more things were exposed later, they simply stopped acting.

On the surface, the company appears legitimate, but in reality, it harbors irregularities. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the company is also connected to Yimeng Biotechnology.

The company couldn't withstand the investigation, and under the investigation of professional departments, many of its hidden things were exposed, including some of the organization's covert operations.

The organization behind the company is planning to create a shadowy empire.

"What era are we living in? Why are you still thinking about this?" The Dark Empire? The White Curtain wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with it before, but now it sounds a bit childish.

"Isn't this normal?" Borre hadn't been educated in the internet age and didn't see anything wrong with this kind of development.

The organization behind that business company has the ambition and resources to create a shadowy empire without difficulty.

If they could freely bring out all sorts of things from the dream world, they would have succeeded long ago!
However, if people could freely bring things out of their dreams, then reality wouldn't be what it is now. In reality, gods and immortals would probably be flying around everywhere.

"The companies they run are more about acquiring intelligence. Rather than investigating intelligence everywhere, they prefer to let intelligence come to them. But their ambitions are too great."

Bai Mu hummed in agreement and continued flipping through the intelligence in his hand, but couldn't find anything more important: "How are they planning to build a dark empire?"

"They were trying to create a weather controller, but they failed due to practical technical and material limitations."

"..." The first thing Bai Mu thought of was the approaching lightning storm.

"And they also plan to recreate the time machine in reality."

"That's impressive. I'll go check out this alternate dream first, and then learn more about this organization in reality." Bai Mu put the information back.

The organization was based within the country, and while they were under investigation, they attempted to relocate, but the Maple Crown Republic was prepared.

Although the source of the strange dream was not found, many members of the organization were captured and a lot of information was obtained.

As for the issue of the Dream Source, the Maple Crown Republic has strengthened its border blockade, so they won't be able to easily smuggle the Dream Source out.

Meanwhile, the Academy of Sciences is increasing its research investment in the Dream Terminal, striving to use the Dream Terminal to locate the source of the dream as soon as possible. Even pointing to a general direction would be a breakthrough.

The actions surrounding this organization are multifaceted.

The organization is reluctant to give up the Source of Otherworldly Dreams, but the leak of the Otherworldly Dream Terminal makes it impossible for them to fully control the entrances and exits of the Otherworldly Dreams.

In reality, organizations cannot stand against state power unless they can control the weather.

Within the alternate dream, the organization was already quite powerful; the Rota Processing Bureau had only recently received this alternate dream terminal.

But the Academy of Sciences had already obtained the Dream Terminal and copied it in large quantities. And what happened?
The development of this alternate dream remains difficult to date.

The creators of the time machine are working on a new one, but the loss of the blueprints means that many steps have to be redone, slowing down the progress.

To prevent the creation of a second time machine, the organization has been trying to assassinate its creator.

In this alternate dream, the source of the alternate dream is not a particularly important entity. As long as the other party doesn't die, all that matters is that the pursuit and dreams of the source of the alternate dream are unimportant.

The time machine is the most important thing; the Dream Source is just a gate to maintain the passage.

A fantastical world involving time travel, yet devoid of any special powers—this is a national treasure!
