Dream Travel

Chapter 171 A paint job
"Tell me quickly how to solve this strange dream. Compared to lurking, I prefer to be straightforward and save time." Bai Mu kept talking.

Bo Lei was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Don't think about fighting and killing at every turn. This is a confrontation with an organization, not a normal exploration of the dream world. It's very dangerous!"

"But even after entering, there's no guarantee that everything will be peaceful. I'm preparing for the worst."

Borei felt a little uncomfortable being blocked by the white curtain. It was indeed okay to be prepared for the worst when taking action.

Finally, Bo Lei said helplessly: "Don't be too careless."

"Hurry up and tell us the departure time. Since the Dream Terminal was created by an unknown organization, are you sure they don't have a special positioning method?"

"That's why we need to investigate. Your actions are too efficient, so please be more restrained this time."

Bai Mu's ability to act is beyond doubt. What Bo Lei is most worried about is that this guy will directly penetrate the Yimeng that is being investigated, and force the organization under investigation into a corner, forcing them to do something desperate.

"Why would I want to go to a strange dream if I restrain myself... I'll just act according to circumstances."

Bai Mu attaches great importance to the 'first pass' of the strange dream. With so many experiences, he can be sure that what he does in the strange dream will affect the strange dream fog he finally obtains.

The impact may not be that great, but it definitely exists, so if you go there in a low-key manner, wouldn’t you be wasting a good opportunity?

The corner of Bo Lei's mouth twitched slightly: "Okay, but don't go too far."

"That depends on what kind of dream it is." Bai Mu said insincerely.

Bo Lei snorted and took out the information he had prepared long ago: "Don't forget that the processing bureau has caught criminals."

"They may also provide false information."

"This is the current investigation target. Take a look for yourself."

Bai Mu picked up the document and looked at it for a while. "Why is it a 'high-tech' dream? Are you sure you're not trying to embarrass me?"

If this were not the case in this world, then this kind of dream could be considered modern. However, given the current era of this world, it would be a bit backward to call it modern.

Compared to the strange dreams after the 21st century, Bai Mu wanted those that were more backward, more primitive, more brutal, and more capable of fighting...

He didn't go to the dream to kill people, but he could kill monsters.

He doesn't mind demons, vampires, werewolves and the like, as long as he can meet them.

"Who's giving you a hard time? This dream has the least spread, so let's start with the simple ones."

What Bo Lei was worried about was that after Bai Mu went to those dreams that had been well managed and even had a lot of holes, he would directly kill the source of the dreams that maintained them.

When the strange dream explodes, the problems it will cause will be even more serious.

Although the Processing Bureau has a plan to detonate the strange dream, this plan is based on the premise of having sufficient intelligence.

If there is still room for recovery, wouldn't saving people turn into directly killing the hostages?

"In a dream like this, the local armed forces are likely to be strong. Even if you are discovered upon landing, they won't dare to go too far."

Bai Mu couldn't hold it in any longer. Even if the unknown organization didn't dare to go too far, he couldn't go too far either...

"That's not certain. If the unknown organization is located in the wilderness, even if I call the police, they may not be able to get here."

Bo Lei rubbed his forehead. Even if the conditions allowed, he didn't believe Bai Mu would call the police.

"That's why we need to investigate! Phew~ Okay, go in and see what happens.

If the location is good, keep a low profile. If the location is bad, then be careful to attract the attention of unknown organizations safely."

Bai Mu thought Bo Lei's suggestion was good: "That's fine."

Looking at the white screen that made the situation more difficult for himself, Bo Lei couldn't help but shake his head: "I'll have someone keep an eye on your friend's matter. The biochemical virus needs to be customized, so there won't be any quick results in a short time."

"It's okay, as long as there is progress."

Bai Mu wanted such a promise. As for the progress, he could understand that a dream walker was needed to bring the things in the dream out.

A custom virus requires a blood sample, right? That thing definitely won't be brought out right away. No matter how it's arranged, it has to follow Dream Walker's schedule.

"If we can avoid using biochemical viruses, I don't mind using other methods."

Bo Lei nodded and said, "Go and prepare. We'll be moving in six hours."

Bai Mu hummed a little tune and left the processing bureau. Although what he encountered was different from what he had initially thought, compared to fighting against gangsters, going to a new dream was more important.

Six hours later it was evening. Bai Mu did not go home but went directly to the experience store to ask Lily about some special products.

The Yimeng Experience Store is like a special "grocery store", but the goods here are not mainly daily necessities, but a variety of things.

However, apart from imitations, genuine dream items are "regularly refreshed" and will be gone once they are bought.

"I remember seeing some posters here last time. They were those cute, adorable girls with big eyes. I wonder if anyone has bought the things?"

"No more." Lily took out an album from the shelf. Bai Mu took a glance at it. It was a comic tutorial with some cute two-dimensional characters on it.

Baimu flipped through a few pages and patted the weapon box: "Can you paint my box?"

"one thousand."

"Are you robbing me?"

"Your box will fold, so you need to be very technical when painting it."

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

Lily smiled. "...How long will it take to be completed?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"It's too slow. We'll be leaving in the evening."

"Add five hundred, or not. How about we sign an agreement?" Lily asked Bai Mu with a smile.

"? What agreement?"

"Regarding the transfer agreement of your house, if you die one day, leave the house to me."

Bai Mu was shocked: "Others at least cheated to get a marriage certificate, but you just robbed them outright?"

“How many times have you lived in the house since you bought it?”

"...Not much." Bai Mu thought about it and realized that he spent much more time away from home than at home. It had only been a short time since he came back, but he couldn't help but go out for a run again.

"Do you have any relatives?"

“Not yet.”

Lily smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be a waste to confiscate your property after you die? It would be better to leave it to me."

Bai Mu thought about it and felt that this possibility did exist. Although he had never thought about it, Lily had specifically mentioned it, so it seemed that it was not impossible to consider it.

But as for the selection... he glanced at Lily, who had a lucky smile on her face, and thought of a more suitable person.

"Huh? When did I have a competitor?" Lily was a little surprised: "Is there really someone better than me?"

"Maybe not as good as you, but I think she is more suitable than you."

If we really have to choose someone to inherit the inheritance, the young nun at the monastery is a good choice, and Bo Lei can be a witness.

"You're not my relative. I'll give you two thousand and four hours to get it done."

"No problem." Lily agreed immediately and no longer mentioned the agreement. If Bai Mu had an idea, they could continue. If he didn't, forget it.

After all, the purpose of that thing's existence is to wait until Bai Mu dies before dealing with anything else. If he can live well, the agreement will be just a piece of waste paper.

There is no possibility of using the agreement to cheat him. After all, Bai Mu is not an ordinary person, and the cost and price of cheating him are too high.

Lily made a phone call, and not long after, someone came to the experience store and started working on the weapon box with a white screen.

Bai Mu found a suitable place in the store to play computer and stand-alone games, which was easy to kill a few hours.

The person Lily called was also very capable. He completed his painting requirements within four hours. The originally dangerous weapon box has now become a "pain box".

He didn't know what kind of paint was used, but the paint looked very textured. After Bai Mu touched the surface and confirmed that the paint would not fall off easily, he simply went home to get the money.

Not being able to pay by card or mobile payment is quite troublesome.

Checking the time, Bai Mu said goodbye to Lily and went to the cafeteria of the Dream Processing Bureau to have a meal. Anyway, he had an authorization certificate from the Bureau and could get a free dinner here.

The cafeteria here is still bustling. You can see many people wearing different clothes here, and many unfamiliar faces.

They should be operatives who just returned from other strange dreams.

Bo Lei came over with a plate and sat down opposite Bai Mu. Bai Mu asked casually, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"No problem." Bo Lei glanced at Bai Mu's clothes. There was nothing wrong with his outfit. He could go directly to the dream world.

"Time is still a bit tight, otherwise I could make more preparations."

"What preparations have you made?" Bo Lei was a little curious. There were weapon stores in Rota City, but Bai Mu had connections there, so there was no need for him to go to those weapon stores.

"This." Bai Mu slightly pulled open the cloth cover on the weapon box.

Bo Lei looked at the two-dimensional painting above, his eyes widened: "What are you doing?"

"Great, right? Look, if I go out with a box like this, people will just think I'm a little weird, but they won't think it contains any dangerous goods, right?"

"..." Bo Lei wanted to ask Bai Mu if he was a creature from some strange dream. This might happen in some strange dreams, but there is no "two-dimensional" culture in the modern reality.

But if the creatures from the dream enter the dream again, they are seeking death, so this point can rule out Bai Mu as a suspect.

"That's a good idea. How did you come up with this?"

"In Fisherman Chuck's dream, I saw people like this. Not only that, some of them drove cars with similar paint jobs."

Bo Lei understood, then he quickly finished his meal and took Bai Mu to the armory.

What Bai Mu is going to do next involves considerable risk, so he must provide people with sufficient equipment.

Because of the white screen issue, Borre and the processing bureau applied to adjust the planned arrangements.

It's not a big adjustment, just a slight adjustment to the time for other personnel to enter, to make preparations for both scenarios.

After Bai Mu entered the dream, he encountered trouble due to his bad position. He was then responsible for attracting the enemy's attention and creating opportunities for other people in the handling bureau.

If the location is in a place with good public security and the enemy cannot act rashly, then the subsequent processing bureau personnel who enter will act according to the original plan.

This was also a layer of protection, and the processing bureau agreed to the adjustment of the plan after a little consideration.
