Dream Travel

Chapter 103 Just right
"Ah! How dangerous!"

He waved his sword to block Bai Mu's sudden attack, and the ferocious smile on Zanke's face did not diminish at all.

The zero-frame start was hard to defend against, but his moves had been seen through.

The firearms used by Baimu puzzled Zanke, but that was not what he was concerned about. He only wanted to kill people now.

Bai Mu was obviously a good target. Although he was exhausted, his attack speed was much faster than those of ordinary people.

His imperial weapon had already seen through what Bai Mu was carrying.

There were strange firearms and a big sword in the long box, and the weapons he was carrying had been used.

That weapon is very dangerous, but as long as the opponent's movements are within his observation range, there is no threat to him!
"Just right..." Bai Mu muttered, opened his box, took out the weapons inside, and threw the box aside.

He had previously wondered what period this strange dream world was from. When he went to the martial arts gym to learn from those strong men, Bai Mu had asked about some things.

Some things about the imperial nobles, that is, Miss Arya from that noble family, who has some relationship with the protagonist of the original novel.

He is the one who taught the protagonist of the original novel a lesson at the beginning.

However, the people in the martial arts school didn't know much about this family.

Even if someone knew about it, they would not have a deep impression. It seemed that there was such a family, but what they did was exposed, so they were sanctioned and their residence was replaced by someone else.

Although many nobles in the empire do not do their jobs, there are still people in this empire who do things normally.

If some things are not exposed, or are suppressed as soon as there are signs of them, then there will not be any problems.

But if it cannot be suppressed, even the nobles of the empire will inevitably be subject to legal sanctions.

Although everyone understands what's going on, you did it so crudely that everyone feels a little embarrassed. So don't blame them for not protecting you.

It's still the same. He is not the biological son of the current Minister Ernest. Even if they are somewhat related, he has to do things relatively well in public.

Doesn’t the empire have any face?
The revolutionary army is powerful, like a snowball. If we don’t do a good job of face-saving, wouldn’t that be aiding the enemy?

Because of this situation, Bai Mu temporarily has no reference point. He can be sure that this is early in the plot, but he doesn't know how early it is.

He went to the mansion and found that it was indeed not that family's anymore. As for the new person living there, Bai Mu didn't know him and it was impossible for him to know him.

When I have nothing to do, I stare at the bulletin board to read the wanted posters, not only to keep an eye on those who are involved in the "night raid", but also to keep an eye on those who can better judge the timing.

Unfortunately, the relevant personnel have not appeared until now.

"?"

The smile on Bai Mu's lips made Zanke a little puzzled.

He immediately activated the power of the imperial weapon worn on his head. This imperial weapon was the Eye Imperial weapon, which had five different effects.

Observing the equipment carried by Baimu is the "perspective" effect of this imperial weapon. Predicting and resisting Baimu's zero-frame attack is the effect of "future vision".

Continuous use of the imperial weapon would be a burden to the holder, so he did not use all five effects.

Bai Mu's unusual smile allowed him to use 'Clairvoyance', an effect that allowed him to see into people's hearts... Was he prey? ?

Zanke was stunned, then he laughed sinisterly: "Hahahaha! I'm the prey! Let's decide who's the hunter!"

Under the effect of clairvoyance, he read that the white screen was about to rush over.

Zanke jumped down from the street lamp and rushed towards Baimu, waving two hand knives. His attack target was very clear, which was to go for the neck.

He was previously an executioner in charge of beheadings and was very good at it.

Bai Mu's thoughts and the trajectory of his attack were captured by the imperial weapon's clairvoyance and future vision.

Zanke's attack looked straightforward, but it was carried out after anticipating Baimu's attack. As long as Baimu carried out his original attack, his head would definitely be chopped off!

However, when he approached the white curtain, the information read by Zanke's imperial weapon made him slightly confused.

Kill him?
Although this imperial weapon is not a true mind-reader, but rather an insight into the target's mind by observing their facial expressions, most people cannot achieve complete facial paralysis, so the difference from mind-reading is actually not that big.

But the purpose of the white screen is too direct, making the effect of clairvoyance seem useless.

This person was completely focused and only wanted to kill him.

Zanke's expression turned ferocious. In his future vision, Baimu had already taken action. It was within his acceptable range...

But after Bai Mu really took action, Zanke's ghost appeared.

The future vision of his imperial weapon does not allow him to see the future, but only makes predictions by capturing the target's subtle muscle movements.

This imperial weapon called 'Five-Sighted Universal Observer' is itself an imperial weapon specifically designed for special attacks against humans.

We are all human, so there is no problem in predicting actions by capturing subtle movements of the target muscles. When it comes to humans, it can indeed be considered as "future vision."

But the 'prey' in front of him didn't seem to be a person.

His speed far exceeded the speed predicted by the future vision of the imperial weapon. Not only that, when his black eyes turned into the cold gold of some inhuman creature, it made Zanke feel terrified.

The powerful sword was like a light feather, slashing down at him head-on. He was obviously the first to attack, but Bai Mu was faster and was the first to arrive, forcing Zanke to defend himself.

He blocked the front with the hand knife hidden in his sleeve. A sharp noise was heard, and cracks appeared on the sturdy and thick hand knife suitable for beheading.

Zanke's pupils suddenly contracted. With his mind highly concentrated, the imperial weapon was still working. At this time, the farsightedness and perspective attached to the imperial weapon had no effect.

And can a vision that can make the target hallucinate... work? In Baimu's eyes, Zanke turned into the little nun he knew in Rota City.

"..."

"Hahaha! I am the prey!!" Looking at the hand knife that was on the verge of breaking, Zanke laughed hoarsely.

Vision did affect Baimu, but Baimu's attack did not completely miss, it was just weakened a little.

Originally, he should have been chopped off along with his weapon and body, but that moment of hesitation gave Zanke a chance to catch his breath.

He barely retreated and avoided being cut in half, but a huge slanting wound was still left on his body.

The imperial weapon's clairvoyance allowed Zanke to see that Baimu was very angry and was suppressing some violent impulse.

Although he didn't know what the "Demon Energy Release" was, the changes in Bai Mu showed that he was not a normal person at all.

Maybe some kind of experimental subject?

After the previous fight, when Future Vision made another prediction, Zanke had already seen his own end.

There was no way he could get away.

So Zanke, who had been responsible for the beheading work for decades and was already mentally ill, chose to take the initiative to attack.

This is his only chance. If he turns his back to the white curtain, he will die instantly. Only if he attacks head-on will he have a chance.

In his future vision, Bai Mu had already taken action. The heavy sword shattered the hand knife that was on the verge of breaking with one blow, and chopped off his head cleanly.

The sound of metal colliding and breaking was heard.

The images predicted by the future vision are synchronized with reality.

"Huh~" Bai Mu caught the flying head, reached out and took off the imperial weapon on it, and was confident about the next action.

It's just that hallucinations are so annoying. There's nothing wrong with hallucinations, but it just happened to be the little nun whom I had just met and had a good impression of.

Kicking away the head at his feet, Bai Mu quickly left here.

There is no doubt that the release of demonic energy can enhance strength and speed. Bai Mu has a direct feeling of this when dealing with dangerous species, and even more so when dealing with humans.

Without the support of the imperial weapon, Zanke would have died in the first fight.

Bai Mu took into consideration that the other party possessed this kind of thing, so he released a high level of demonic energy at the beginning.

The noise of the battle here quickly attracted the night patrol guards.

They looked at the corpse on the ground with some surprise.

"A civilian victim. Who is he?"

Zanke doesn't look like a civilian at all. Civilians are not that strong. Compared to civilians, he looks more like a murderer. There is still wet blood on his sleeves.

Although his head was chopped off, the blood did not spray onto his sleeves.

"It seems to be Zanke?" A member of the security team was not sure.

He had sent prisoners to the Imperial Prison and met Zanke once. He was a very scary man.

Perhaps there were too many prisoners being executed, and when people walked past each other, they could almost hear the prisoners' death screams.

It's just that the other party shouldn't be here...

"Let's notify the captain first."

There were few signs of fighting at the scene, indicating that the battle ended in a very short time.

And Zanke's shattered hand knife made the security team members present feel a chill.

They may not be strong, but they still have good eyesight. How much strength does it take to break that heavy hand knife?

When examining the body, they also discovered that Zanke had serious injuries on his arm, but they were not direct injuries.

Soon, the captain of the security team, Oka, arrived at the scene. He frowned at the dead Zanke and said, "Go to jail!"

It is not normal that Zanke would appear here and have his head chopped off. Something must have happened in the prison.

When they arrived at the prison, the prison warden, who had been notified in advance, seemed very anxious. Seeing this, Ouka became more certain of his judgment.

Something must have happened in the prison, and it must have seriously affected the warden's career, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.

"Where's Zunk's body? Who killed him!?"

Of course the warden was very anxious because his imperial weapon was lost!

Zanke is the capable executioner in the prison. Who would have thought that this guy would suddenly steal his imperial weapon and run away?

As a capable man here, Zanke's actions were not suspected at first, until the warden discovered that his imperial weapon was missing... No one immediately realized that Zanke had defected.

The warden immediately suppressed the matter and tried to find Zanke.

Losing Zanke is not a big deal, but losing the imperial weapon is a big deal.
