Dream Travel

Chapter 564 Exposed
"Boss, what about us?" some of the awakened ones couldn't help but ask.

Since Bai Mu has become an undead knight, they can't be without their own thoughts, especially since Bai Mu's attitude is very clear: he won't let them go.

Faced with such a powerful boss, forcibly leaving would be suicidal, so it's better to think about how to ride the boss.

There will be many battles to come, and I can continue to grow stronger based on my current strength, and I will not be ignored by the White Curtain.

“My room isn’t big enough, maybe next time…” Bai Mu immediately refused.

His room is large, but it can't hold that many people. He's in good health, but he doesn't have enough time.

So I'll definitely do it next time. Sometimes, a person's bottom line is surprisingly flexible.

The next day at noon, Bai Mu arrived at the Rota Processing Bureau. Bo Lei did not go to the canteen, but ate his lunch in his office.

When Bai Mu arrived, he had only eaten half of what he had eaten.

Borre placed the large bowl on the table, wiped his mouth, and said, "I thought you weren't coming today."

"I'm definitely coming, but I've made some extra preparations, since I'm going to be facing an opponent who has a time machine."

"Then hurry up and set off. Be careful once you get there, and don't be too high-profile, or you'll easily become a target."

"How should we target them?" With departure imminent, Bai Mu didn't mind learning more important information.

"Of course, they'll use a time machine to target you. They'll record the power you've demonstrated, develop a customized plan based on your performance, and then use the time machine to access a mature solution in the future to deal with you."

"What if I had enough methods?"

"Then keep updating the initial file. The anchor point of the time machine is the time when 'Dr. Hadkin' made the time machine."

Borre explained some new information about the time machine, which was clearly information that would only be revealed after the White Curtain fully joined the operation.

Time machines cannot change certain established facts of the past, but they can influence the future. However, no matter how much influence they have, there is always a starting point.

And this starting point is calculated from the moment the time machine is completed.

The starting point will still be affected by the normal passage of time, but the nature of the starting point's existence will not change.

Therefore, as long as actions are taken within the corresponding starting point time, the future is changeable and uncertain.

Organizations can use this uncertainty to continuously update and improve their plans, and they are not afraid of any powerful individuals hiding any amazing tricks.

In any case, once it is used and recorded, the organization can update the record and continue to obtain more comprehensive countermeasures or even restraining technologies from the future.

"So even if you are very powerful, you still have to be careful when you go there. The organization is very advanced in that world. Didn't I tell you about the weather controller before?"
They failed to replicate that thing in reality, but in the dream world, they had already mastered the weather controller.

Borei solemnly reminded Bai Mu.

Weather controllers are extremely dangerous superweapons and cannot be realized in reality. However, in the alternate dream world, the people there take using weather controllers very seriously.

The lightning storm strikes have already taught the National Disposal Bureau a lesson.

The purpose of the powerful lightning storm was to completely erase Dr. Hadkin's existence.

The organization kept the other party around simply because they wanted to further improve and enhance the time machine, making it bigger and stronger, and also better able to repair it if it was damaged.

The time machine is very useful, but its capacity is not so great.

However, after the National Dispute Resolution Authority intervened in this matter, they demonstrated a decisive approach.

"Besides the weather controller, there are other dangerous weapons over there. The National Disposal Bureau and the Academy of Sciences can't offer you much help."

"I get it, I used to be someone who attracted attention, didn't I?"

“…You could say that.” Borei’s lips twitched slightly.

Bai Mu excels at breaking deadlocks. In Hellish Dreams, Bai Mu wasn't as famous as he is now, but he still managed to handle Hellish Dreams back then.

This strange dream needs a breaker, but the White Curtain must be cleared. The National Bureau of Justice can handle it, but doing so will waste a lot of time.

If a game-changer emerges and allows them to establish a firm foothold, the new time machine can be built more quickly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go take a look."

"Be extra careful! Wait half an hour before you set off."

Bai Mu arrived at the container holding the Dream Terminal. The processing bureau was very professional, and they were very careful in storing the Dream Terminal.

Through the Dream Terminal inside the makeshift hospital, Bai Mu entered a new Dream World.

The surrounding environment was replaced by an unfamiliar one. The architectural style was similar to reality, but it was different from the upper city of Rota City. The environment here was more like the lower city of Rota City.

He appeared near the source of the dream, but according to the information Borei gave him, the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics wanted to find the source of the dream, but failed.

The source of the strange dream doesn't seem to be in their time.

It may be at some point in the future, or it may have been hidden in the past by the organization. Although the established facts of the past cannot be changed, the Source of the Otherworld was originally an external object, so hiding it in the past is feasible.

Against this backdrop, something unusual suddenly appeared, causing subtle ripples in the air.

The people on the street didn't notice the appearance of the white curtain. After the hazy feeling disappeared, he naturally blended into the current environment.

It's just that appearance is a little of a concern, but the abnormal distortion seen by the white screen is completely unnoticed by anyone.

The spherical shape is abnormally distorted, and it can approach in a very unnatural way. Is that a drone?
A spherical drone with built-in optical camouflage rapidly approached.

The white figure vanished from its spot in the next instant. The speed that ordinary people could not detect was quickly located by the spherical drone.

The spherical drone quickly detected the white curtain's movements and tracked it at an extremely fast speed.

Once it maintains high-speed flight, the spherical drone immediately loses its stealth capability.

Some pedestrians on the road looked in surprise at what was flying overhead. They didn't notice anything unusual at first, but the speed of the drone made it easy for them to hear.

"What was that just now... was it a meteor? Or ball lightning?"

Passersby, drawn to the sight of the spherical drone flying by, were trying to spot it, while others thought it was an illusion.

Behind the white curtain that had moved to a new location, more than a dozen spherical drones had already followed.

Instead of firing at his rear, the drones emitted some kind of special radiation.

This type of radiation is not harmful to buildings or similar structures, but it is highly lethal to living organisms.

The white light hitting him made his skin sting. He was already very strong, but these drones could still inflict real damage on him. These things were incredibly technologically advanced.

Determined to test the white veil of this thing, they went to the wilderness. In a deserted place, the spherical drone directly removed its optical camouflage, and its shape also changed drastically.

An abnormal force field was emitted from the gaps in the unfolded spherical drone.

Within this spherical force field, anything that is touched begins to decompose.

Bai Mu pulled out a gun and fired at a spherical drone; the bullet turned into powder the moment it touched the spherical force field.

A dozen or so spherical drones accelerated their flight speed, blocking and surrounding the white curtain from different angles.

Their spherical force fields can also interact, forming a large strangulation cage after they become linked.

However, Bai Mu noticed that there was a gap in the interconnected decomposition force fields.

This gap wasn't meant for people to escape; it seemed more like it was specifically designed to preserve some of the dead.

In addition, gun barrels-like objects popped out from the drones; those things definitely didn't look like cameras.

As the disintegration force field contracted, Bai Mu made his move. The eruption of Thousand Mountain Qi spread out in a spherical shockwave, shattering the disintegration force field and destroying the spherical drone in the process.

Before the deformed spherical drone even landed, a powerful plasma explosion occurred.

boom--

The tremors startled the citizens, who thought that war had broken out again.

When the police arrived at the scene of the explosion, they saw a deep crater created by the blast, with high-temperature and crystallized material remaining inside.

"The White Curtain has arrived; prepare to launch the plan when the opportunity arises." In an apartment building that appeared perfectly normal from the outside, the National Disposal Bureau personnel were busy at work.

They have a lot to do: not only evade the organization's pursuit, but also establish more safe zones and collect enough materials.

However, to prevent the creation of a second time machine, the organization strictly controls the trading of certain materials.

However, this strictness is easy to overcome; the missing materials can simply be sent directly from reality.

However, since the enemy possesses a time machine and access to the future, some materials sent over are easily detected.

The background of this world is similar to reality, but advanced technology that does not belong to this era has already appeared here.

Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything unusual, but the National Security Bureau knew that a 'sky net' covered the skies above New York in the alternate dream world.

That was a massive surveillance network composed of a large number of drones and robots.

Skynet possesses unique monitoring capabilities and has an extremely sensitive detection ability for specific materials.

Therefore, if the staff at the processing bureau want to send in materials from outside, they must bear the corresponding risks.

However, the authorities can also bypass some of the surveillance through other means.

As for obtaining materials locally, forget about it. Every place where you can obtain materials is a trap, just waiting for them to take the bait.

The authorities did send in experts to try and break the deadlock by force.

As a result, the experts who were assigned here were struck by a natural disaster and were forced to leave the alternate dream world after enduring a few minutes of tribulation.

It's only because the expert who arrived was fast enough and used special concealment methods to temporarily avoid the organization's surveillance; otherwise, they could have been struck dead by lightning generated by the weather controller.

In the dream world, the organization's goal is to exterminate any non-organizational members.

With the Skynet network's coverage, even if a Dream Terminal were to slip out, anyone who enters will be detected immediately and then quietly dealt with.

However, having experts attract attention can also create some vulnerabilities in Skynet. The expert who came last time almost died here, but it bought the National Disposal Bureau a lot of time, allowing them to complete the initial construction of the base.

Now that the white curtain has arrived, let's see how much time it can buy us.

Many people present did not know Bai Mu's identity, but they knew about Hellish Dreams.

Based on this incident, they still have great faith in Whitebeard's abilities.

The results were quite good. The Skynet over New York has been repositioned, focusing on the White Curtain and giving them more room to maneuver.

Next, the National Disposal Bureau personnel will quickly deliver the necessary items.

The time difference between this alternate dream world and reality is two to one, and the organization that controls the source of the alternate dream has sealed it away very well.

"Isn't this too risky?" A member of the National Disposal Bureau looked at the delivered box with some hesitation.

Using skilled players to draw the enemy's attention and buy time is a very effective but also risky tactic.

Bai Mu is also a holder of the Maple Crown Medal, which makes him quite influential in reality, even though he keeps a low profile.

"We don't have much time left, so we must get our hands on the time machine as soon as possible, or we will become increasingly passive."

The speaker was from the National Academy of Science and Technology. They are not from the same department as the National Disposal Bureau, but they have a stronger ability to analyze and predict situations.

The power of time machines in this world is too great. Even though they have managed to establish themselves, it would be too easy for the organization to sweep them away once they unleash even more advanced technology or other powers.

The reason the other side didn't use extreme measures was simply because they were at the starting point of the time machine, and the organization couldn't take the opportunity to cause widespread destruction.

They also worry that if this starting point collapses, the future will be completely out of control.

The National Academy of Sciences has researched this and found that the organization did not begin influencing the future from the point where the time machine was created, but rather ten years or more after the time machine was created.

The advantage of doing this is that even if serious problems arise in the future, as long as the starting point of the time machine's creation is not problematic, this blank future can be used to correct everything.

Therefore, at this point in time, they cannot create too much chaos or directly expose more things that belong to the future.

Otherwise, once they start influencing the future from the beginning of the time machine, the changes to the future will not be something they can easily reset.

To make good use of the time machine, it is necessary to reserve a blank buffer that can be used to reset the future.

This is a reliance, but they can't push the organization too far, because if they do, those people will just use superweapons to wipe out New York, the starting point.

As long as the Dream Source is alright and the time machine is still there, that's fine.

The National Academy of Sciences could not determine the organization's limit of tolerance, so they had to develop a new time machine in the shortest possible time.

Even if this time machine is more rudimentary, as long as the machine can operate, going back to the past or arriving in the future will be a great success!
