Dream Travel

Chapter 86 Get used to it

Bai Mu experienced a private car pick-up service. The order in the downtown area was still being restored. The incident caused by the devil was very serious. The specific inside story could obviously not be "revealed" in a short time.

Bai Mu was just a participant in this matter, not an important figure, and the subsequent events had no direct connection with him.

But there must be an explanation for Rota City. Although the demon invasion occurred in the lower city area, a bad explanation will still affect the development of Rota City.

This young and vibrant city is very efficient in its actions. Construction teams can be seen busy on the streets in the downtown area, and the newspaper that Bo Lei handed to Bai Mu also had many reports written on it.

But all the news was positive. When fighting against the demon invasion, the police officers of Rota City were so brave, the army was so efficient, and the demons were dealt with so well.

The report did not contain much information about the Dream Processing Bureau and the "Demon Hunting Team" that Bai Mu was somewhat interested in.

The news above even has a demon councilor about to give a speech.

What's going on here? What's the difference between lower-class black people and upper-class black people? They're both black, but they're no longer in the same league.

Or the black people in and out of police uniforms in America.

In any case, the content about demons in the newspaper gave Baimu a dog-eat-dog feeling.

Bai Mu pointed at the relevant content in the newspaper and asked Bo Lei, who was sitting next to him, "Is he sincere or is he just covering up for those demons?"

"Be sincere, right? Demons also have different camps. You don't think all demons will unite together, do you?" Borei glanced at the content in the newspaper and answered with a smile.

"This is our Rota City's demon councilor. He had a promising career ahead of him, but the demon invasion has impacted his career. He's probably the most angry demon in this matter, right?"

"Outrageous!"

"You could think of it as species diversity."

Bai Mu changed the subject: "Where do these demons come from?"

Bo Lei shook his head. "It's unclear at the moment. These demons are very cautious. The memory of their organization has been erased. They are not creatures from otherworldly dreams, but demons transformed from local people."

"Is this possible?"

Bo Lei's expression was somewhat heavy: "Many creatures in the strange dream possess special powers. It is not difficult to transform humans into demons. Some people even hope to become demons.

Not only that, some demons even set up special breeding factories to transform human eggs into demon embryos... Therefore, the demons from strange dreams are diluted by more 'original' demons over time."

"Diluted? Doesn't that make it easier for them to hide?"

Borei nodded: "This demon councilor is a 'native' demon."

"Ever since I became a Dream Walker, I've found the world to be more and more exciting." Bai Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it. I won't be able to experience these things for the time being."

After returning to the processing bureau, Bai Mu immediately found old man Henry, who had already placed the greatsword that Bai Mu had brought back.

Seeing this, Bai Mu put down the two big swords he brought with him: “Leave it to you, Master Henry.”

"No charge this time." Henry took off his headphones and began to identify the three broadswords. There was a lot of such work to do every day.

Henry said as he appraised it, "You are excellent. As a dream walker, you can always bring out complete loot."

As he spoke, he put the first identified greatsword aside and shook his head at Bai Mu, indicating that this weapon was just an ordinary weapon. The material was strong, but it did not carry the Dream Erosion.

Then came the second weapon, and the result was the same as the first. When appraising the third greatsword, Henry showed a surprised look and said to Bai Mu, "You are also very lucky. This is a weapon that carries the Dream Erosion. The effect is... um..."

Henry took out a new test paper and tested it. After a while, he disposed of the used test paper and said, "The effect is also to enhance the killing of specific types of organisms. It belongs to the general category."

"Major categories?" Bai Mu asked sincerely, "Can you give me a detailed explanation?"

"Your chainsaw is a small-scale biological damage enhancement, while this weapon is a large-scale damage enhancement that is not limited to species but to categories, such as mechanical modification."

"Is that the difference between species and categories?" Bai Mu nodded in understanding.

As expected, the chainsaw's enhanced damage is effective against sharks, but it is limited to the scope of "sharks". No matter what kind of shark, as long as it is a shark, it will be fine. It belongs to a small category.

As for categories, they're not limited to species. Old Man Henry explained it very clearly. Mechanical transformations... well, things like Robocop count, right? Prosthetic implants count, too, right?

When you think about it this way, it is indeed a large category of enhanced damage.

However, Mr. Henry emphasized that this weapon is used to enhance the killing power of living things.

Then the enhanced killing category of this greatsword can be determined. It should be effective on biologically modified bodies like demons. If it is mechanically modified, although the target is also a biological body, it may not have a corresponding effect.

The genes of demons have been changed, while mechanical transformation is a replacement. Although it is also biological transformation, it is obviously not the same type.

But if you have a chance to try it, you can find out whether it is true or not. This is a very high-quality sword, not a weapon like a chainsaw. It can cut down too many targets.

I don't know if the demons that appeared in the lower city can be considered biological transformations.

"The Weapons Disposal Bureau will give an initial recycling price of 100,000." Henry said, looking at a big sword, without mentioning the big sword in Bai Mu's hand that carried the Dream Eclipse.

"Okay," Bai Mu agreed. This weapon was a mass-produced product at Great Sword, so the price offered by the Disposal Bureau was acceptable.

This is the initial recycling price, and this is the price that will be given for this one.

"What about the second one?"

"Hmm... 20,000."

"I have one for my collection." Bai Mu didn't want to sell the second sword. The price of the first sword was probably plus the friendly price given by the processing bureau, such as the dream exploration.

Outside the office, Bo Lei saw Bai Mu coming out with two big swords, and he put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

"Is your luck pretty good this time?"

Bai Mu smiled and said, "Yes, there is a weapon that carries the Dream Eclipse."

"Congratulations! The sealed quarantine center is ready. Regarding River's sealing, it's expected to be completed within four hours. The etiquette instructor and follow-up personnel are also preparing."

Bo Lei talked about the things that Bai Mu was very concerned about. In addition, the people from the processing bureau also specially improved the background story that Bai Mu made up for Rui Fu.

After entering the strange dream, the relevant personnel can use the connections left by Bai Mu to directly "integrate" into the local area and start subsequent work.

The ancient world was very convenient for people on the move. Their identities were difficult to investigate, and with the help of a "guarantor", they could disappear instantly upon landing.

Modern dreams are different. All identity records can be found on the Internet, the cost of forgery has skyrocketed, and it is easy to be captured as an alien, which causes all kinds of trouble.

The exploration of strange dreams must minimize casualties. Once the casualties are too great, the sealed strange dreams will be ruined. Even the best dreams will have to be destroyed due to too many holes.

"Then this child is up to you. How long will it take for the Dream Walker to enter the same strange dream again?"

"It depends on how long it takes the dream walker to adapt to the dream eclipse. Most dream walkers take no less than a month, which is still relatively fast."

Bo Lei and Bai Mu talked about the problem of the dream walker entering the dream again.

"After the dream walker escapes from the dream, he will still be eroded by the dream. The influence of this part of the dream erosion is equivalent to recognition.

It takes time for a dream walker to digest this part of the dream erosion. Once the recognition disappears, they can enter the same dream again. For ordinary people, it takes longer to digest the dream erosion.

Bai Mu understood, but a new question arose: "It sounds like we are invaders."

Borei nodded. "No need to use 'like'. We are invaders."

"...Doesn't this require some elaborate words?"

"Hahaha, it's not necessary for insiders." Bo Lei smiled. They came into contact with strange dreams through the source of strange dreams, which was originally a kind of invasion. Even after the source of strange dreams associated with the 'strange dreams', it was still a kind of invasion.

The reason is naturally that they are not supposed to exist in the dream world, and when they leave, they have to bring something back from there. This is the essence of the invasion.

"I understand. I'll go back first." Bai Mu said goodbye to Bo Lei and left the Dream Processing Bureau.

Borei returned to the office and started writing a report. After Bai Mu came back, there was a clear result regarding the matter of River.

He developed this strange dream very well, and the dream was indeed worth exploring. However, as an experienced member of the processing bureau, Bo Lei knew that there were many "obstacles" in this matter.

There were many valuable things in River's dream, but those things were mainly on another continent, not on the island that served as an experimental site.

If explorers want to obtain that information, they have to contact another continent, and this process will lead to an increase in casualties and the efficiency of exploration will not be improved.

Therefore, the exploration and development of this source of strange dreams is similar to archaeology. A large-scale archaeological excavation that lasts for three generations is no joke.

River's dream would be unlikely to bear fruit in the short term, but considering that the intelligence provided by Bai Mu and the foundation he established were good enough, coupled with his decisiveness, Rota City avoided a potential dream crisis.

The obstacle that sealed this dream is no longer an obstacle.

"I seem to have overlooked something?" Borei, who was writing a report, put down his pen, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

What he ignored was not something too important, it wasn't even considered ignoring, but he was just used to it.

The habit of Baimu is that he can always bring out enough loot from the dream, but the speed of this habit is too fast.

It had only been a short time since he knew Bai Mu, but he had already developed this habit, which led to Bo Lei not paying much attention to the things Bai Mu brought back at first.

One dug a hole to bury his own coffin, and three big swords. The number was not as many as the previous two times, but compared with other dream walkers, it was still a great harvest.

The suitcases that Bai Mu carried and the clothes he wore were brought from reality into the dream. When he left, there would be no dream erosion and naturally no one would notice him.

"This habit doesn't seem very friendly to other dream walkers..."

Bo Lei shook his head and finished writing the report.
