Dream Travel

Chapter 33 You can come anytime you want
The box containing the virus was replaced with a box containing banknotes. Not only was the transaction tax-free, but the money was also considered the 'down payment', and there would be a balance payment after two days.

However, Bai Mu had no idea whether the contents of the storage disk contained virus information, as he had not had time to confirm it.

He has already received the down payment, and whether he can get the subsequent payment will not affect his good life here.

Although house transactions in Rota are subject to tax, there is no subsequent property tax to maintain the house.

Just based on this point, how can living in an apartment be better than living in a house?

I’ll go check it out when the final payment arrives, and if it’s not there… then I’ll just continue living in the apartment.

"Is the processing bureau here so rich?" Bai Mu asked Bo Lei after taking the money.

His wording was a bit vague. Although he had no experience with other dream processing bureaus in this world, it did not affect his use of "this way" when asking.

Anyway, he has been mistaken for a wild dream walker, so it doesn't matter if he is misunderstood a little more. He can get more information from the misunderstanding. Before meeting Borei, he didn't even know what profession a dream walker was.

Those who didn't know what was going on thought it was Inception coming for a visit.

"For certain things, Rota City's processing bureau purchases them mainly based on efficiency." Bo Lei explained casually that ordinary things need to go through more procedures, while biological viruses or some more dangerous things need to be handled with the highest efficiency.

If there are dream walkers who are willing to deal with the "controlled items" in their dreams through the Dream Processing Bureau, then the Dream Processing Bureau will not delay in paying the amount. Those items will not only be recycled by the Processing Bureau, but also by other companies.

The situation this time was special. The out-of-control dream was resolved by a wild dream walker, and the companies and enterprises did not get the information, otherwise those people would have smelled the clue and come here later.

"This is the first major recycling item for the disposal bureau this year."

The first one happened in April or May, almost halfway through the year. Bai Mu knew how rare this kind of thing was.

"And the Dream Processing Bureau has no shortage of funds." Having said this, Bo Lei stopped talking. The funds of the Processing Bureau are indeed sufficient, but Bai Mu is not a member here after all. Some inside stories are not secrets, but they will not be told to outsiders casually.

The sufficient funding here is not only due to sufficient grants, but also due to many additional sources of income.

Not long after, a staff member quickly ran over, whispered a few words in Bo Lei's ear, and then turned and left. Bo Lei told Bai Mu: "The storage disk has no password, so the verification time will be much shorter. If everything goes well, I can give you an answer tomorrow."

"I live in Room 306 on the third floor of Oak Apartments." Bai Mu gave his address.

"I'll come personally when I have news." Bo Lei nodded. "But you have to leave a specific time, preferably in the afternoon."

"After four o'clock, then."

Bai Mu, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something and slapped his head: "I want to buy information about strange dreams from the Processing Bureau."

"No need to do that." Bo Lei shook his head. "The Processing Bureau is mainly responsible for resolving strange dreams. We welcome capable dream walkers to assist in resolving strange dreams. When you are ready, you can come directly to the Processing Bureau to find me."

The processing bureau's handling of strange dreams depends on the person. Ordinary people must be kept away from strange dreams. Even if those ordinary people do not encounter danger when they run into strange dreams, the dream erosion they suffer when they leave the dreams can be very fatal.

Dream erosion is something that can be fatal, even if it is caused by a piece of clothing. Even if you survive, think about the wounds all over your body corroded by dream erosion. Doesn't treatment cost money?
For ordinary people, the financial losses they suffer after encountering strange dreams are minor. However, the deaths of ordinary people in strange dreams will have an impact on reality. Their deaths are like holes in the strange dreams, and dream erosion will spread through the holes. The death of dream walkers who enter strange dreams will inevitably create holes, but dream walkers are experienced operators, and their mortality rate is far lower than that of ordinary people.

Unless it is in a very dangerous environment, but since it is in a dangerous environment, it is difficult for dream walkers to survive, and ordinary people involved will die in large numbers.

As many people died, the dream spread because of the excessive holes before it collapsed out of control. At this stage, the dream was still not out of control, but its scope of influence had expanded.

The reason why strange dreams get out of control is basically related to the source of the strange dreams. Take Thorne's case as an example. If Thorne could successfully leave the bear market and continue to grow, he would survive smoothly in the strange dreams.

Then the strange dream he has will not get out of control. After being discovered by the processing bureau, his body in reality will be recovered and sealed until the strange dream ends normally or collapses out of control.

The time in a dream is different from the real time. Bai Mu and others have been in the dream for several days, but only a few hours have passed in reality. The time in the dream is generally one hour in reality, corresponding to more than one day in the dream.

In those worlds with special powers, the time comparison will be greater. One hour in reality may be a month there.

Preventing ordinary people from being involved in strange dreams is also related to this. As more people are involved in strange dreams, the duration of the dreams will gradually synchronize with reality.

Calculated according to the initial time difference, the higher the degree of synchronization, the greater the scope and intensity of the impact of the dream on reality, so the dream must be strictly managed.

Otherwise, if too many people are involved, the impact of the dream will be like a snowball. It is easy to stop and solve when it is small, but it will be particularly terrifying when it starts to snowball.

There are many such incidents. In their world, there are demons, vampires and other non-human beings. Those beings did not exist in this world before, but because of large-scale out-of-control dreams, these non-human beings appeared.

They are intelligent, possess special powers, and will actively integrate into human society.

In Bo Lei's opinion, this is almost like parasitism, but they can do nothing about it.

But no matter what, at least demons, vampires and the like can still communicate, while the monsters brought about by uncontrolled dreams only know how to destroy.

Strange dreams can bring great benefits, but they also carry risks that are just as great.

Therefore, the authorities must use various methods to prevent ordinary people from having too much contact with strange dreams, and the processing bureau must also find ways to reduce the number of sources of strange dreams. Those sealed sources of strange dreams are hidden dangers.

You can keep some of it, but if the accumulated amount is too much, you will definitely have to dispose of some of it.

Directly destroying the source of the dream is the worst way to deal with it. Violence cannot solve all problems. At least the processing bureau does not have the "violence" that can solve all problems now.

This method can be used to deal with dreams that are not very intense, but if you do this when facing dreams with high intensity, it will be fatal in a literal sense.

The best way to deal with it is to let the dream "end" normally, or to weaken the source of the dream before violently dealing with it. These things require a dream walker.

Of course, the main purpose of a dream walker is to explore strange dreams and bring out important knowledge and a few strange dream items.

Therefore, if Baimu has such an idea, Bo Lei will be very welcome. Want to come? You can come anytime!
