Dream Travel

Chapter 70 Where is I, the Devil?

"Let me see what this strange dream is." The haziness around him dissipated, and Bai Mu observed the surrounding environment.

Backward buildings, poor living environment, ordinary people working hard for a living, and an uneasy atmosphere shroud the medieval town where Baimu is located. The appearance of Baimu makes the people in the town full of vigilance.

"Fuck, it's okay!" Bai Mu, who was regarded as a suspicious person, couldn't hold it in any longer. This landing had a good start. Although he was regarded as a suspicious person, at least he was not attacked by a bunch of demons as soon as he landed, and the environment he was in was also safe.

He put away the holy water bottle he was holding. The people here didn't know about pistols and didn't have a very intuitive sense of crisis about the weapon he was holding, but they knew about crossbows.

Bai Mu took out the cross necklace given to him by Sister Asha and put it around his neck in front of the locals.

Although the residents still looked at the white curtain with a little more suspicion, at least they were no longer so vigilant. It seemed that this world did have clergy.

Without so many vigilant eyes, Baimu felt much better, but the way the residents looked at Baimu had some other inexplicable meaning.

These are not important to him for the time being. Since he appeared here, it means that the source of strange dreams is also nearby.

Bai Mu had the experience of looking for the fisherman Chuck, so he knew that he didn't need to worry if he couldn't find the source of the strange dream for a while. He could look for it more nearby. The strange dream sources were active and they wouldn't stay in one place and wait for others to find them.

But in this backward place, the easiest way to find the source of strange dreams is violence, right?

Kidnap the entire town and force them to hand over the target they are looking for. Well, maybe it is not necessary to kidnap all of them, as long as they can threaten the people here and make them obey.

The method is simple and straightforward. You just need to move your fingers and choose an unlucky guy with a good-looking identity to shoot.

But isn't this likely to scare children?
Looking at the residents coming and going around, Bai Mu pulled at his windbreaker and decided to search normally first. If he couldn't find the search result, he would use a more brutal method.

In order to find someone, Bai Mu used the simplest method: asking!

He not only asked about the child's whereabouts, but also asked the residents here for information about the "devil".

When talking about children, local residents became alert, as if they regarded Bai Mu as a child trafficker, but when talking about "devil", the residents' alertness turned into fear.

"Are you looking for a demon?"

"Demon? No, I'm looking for the devil." Bai Mu showed the inside of his windbreaker, where several bottles of holy water gleaming with a silvery-white luster were hanging. He didn't have time to replenish this thing.

Although it can be further diluted, there is no corresponding container, so I can only make do with it for now.

"Does it make any difference? And this water..."

"It's holy water." Bai Mu said seriously. He didn't need to emphasize the purpose of this thing deliberately. He had verified it personally. Now he could express the value of this thing through his firm and serious tone!
But the locals don’t believe it!

"If splashing water could destroy demons, there would be no need to spend a huge sum of money to hire a great sword."

No matter what Baimu said, the residents just didn't believe that this thing could kill the devil.

"Be careful God will give you nightmares!"

The residents shook their heads: "We believe in the Gemini Goddesses."

Bai Mu took off the cross he was carrying and put it in his pocket. When he pulled his hand out, he looked a little puzzled, but he quickly suppressed this doubt and continued to ask questions to the talkative resident: "Let's not talk about God for now. The greatsword you just mentioned..."

"People who specialize in eliminating demons, they... are also half-human, half-demon demons." When talking about the greatsword, the residents' expressions showed a bit of fear, even more frightened than when mentioning demons.

Bai Mu understood, thanked the residents and left.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the demon he is looking for no longer exists. This is good news. At least there is no need to worry about Yi Mengyuan being killed by a demon that does not exist in the dream world.

The bad news is that the source of the strange dream might have been killed by something that prefers to attack humans. The townspeople revealed enough information, and Bai Mu knew that this strange dream was the one he knew, the 'strange dream' called "Great Sword".

It’s 2D, but damn it’s not fun or cute enough!
When he was dealing with demons in the lower city of Rota, he had some communication with the demons that were killed. Those demons killed people in order to obtain the brains of dream walkers. They did not eat humans, but the demons here did eat humans.

As demons transformed from humans, they can disguise themselves as humans and eat humans. Then there are the warriors 'Greatswords' who specialize in destroying these demons. They use heavy greatswords as weapons, have physical fitness far superior to ordinary people, can detect demons hidden in the crowd, and are very expensive to attack.

Of course, the Great Swords are not fighting for justice; they are also people caught up in this era and an experiment.

In a world like this, even if Bai Mu found the source of Yi Meng, he would not be able to settle her down.

Even if I find a way to raise Yi Mengyuan, even if I let her train hard to improve herself in order to let her survive... and then she becomes a consumable material for the greatsword?

If we don’t do this, safety will be more difficult to ensure.

"Where's my demon?!" Bai Mu pulled out a cross from his pocket, waved it in his hand, and then stared fiercely at a passerby, who was stunned for a moment. "What do you want?"

"You were secretly looking at me just now, weren't you?" Bai Mu's tone was vicious.

The passerby saw that he was too strong and reasoned with him: "It's weird that you're sneaking around here."

"Whoever is sneaking around, I'm standing here openly." Bai Mu approached the other party, and when he found that the cross did not respond, he turned around and left.

While asking the residents for information, he felt the cross in his hand getting hot and vibrating.

His cross moved, there must be... a demon nearby!
However, the warning range of the cross is really small. Regardless of whether there are demons in this world or not, if the cross you carry reacts, you will definitely find it.

If the reason for this warning is that it is effective against local demons, then the cross given by Sister Asha is too effective. It can not only control demons, but also biologically modified demons.

No matter what, he had to find a target that the cross could react to first. He had already killed quite a few demons today. Next time, no matter if it was a demon or a monster... as long as it wasn't an awakened one, he should be able to defeat it.

Bai Mu ignored the strange looks from others and quickly searched nearby. The cross has a range, so no matter how small it is, it can at least be ten or twenty meters, right?
Otherwise, this warning is really not very useful.

“Damn! How could it be so fast!!” Two residents, a man and a woman who looked like locals, were hiding in a house and looked panicked.

They have been drawn into this strange dream world for several days. They are demons, but not dream creatures. Instead, they are demons transformed by the power of demons. There is no need to worry about being killed directly by dreams.

But the problem is that they are not dream walkers. To escape from the dream, they need to stay away from the source of the dream and then wait for time to be ejected, but they don’t have this time.

After being away from the source of the dream, it takes at least a week to wait to be ejected. During this time, the reality may have already dealt with the source of the dream.

Once they were ejected, they would probably be machine-gunned.

On the contrary, it is safe to stay in this strange dream, provided that the source of the dream is alive and well. Once the source of the dream dies, they will be forcibly expelled.

If you run faster at that time, you can avoid the impact caused by the dream getting out of control, but if the dream collapses and gets out of control, how can the reality be completely unprepared?

They also had to die from machine gun fire.

So if they want to live well, they have to ensure that Yi Mengyuan can live well.

They were the first to be involved, and the unlucky ones who were involved later were all affected by the source of the strange dream and obtained the "benefits" of entering the strange dream.

Those people are their 'relatives', or relatives of Yi Mengyuan, who came here specifically to visit Yi Mengyuan.

Those involved are not the type to be immersed in this. Yimengyuan has given those who hitchhike initial convenience, but if those who hitchhike mess around and get into trouble, that is their own business.

In order to prevent the locals from leaking information, they even killed the unlucky people who were caught up in the dream.

And they also have corresponding ride-hailing benefits.

Their current identities are the guardians of the source of strange dreams. Although they are also disguised as the "guardians" of humans in reality, they don't want to be involved in the strange dream and continue to be the guardians of this little ghost!

Who would have thought that when they were just using disguised identities to deceive the police officers into carrying out the attack, this damn kid actually woke up. She was clearly fed medicine before the hunt began.

Yi Mengyuan, who woke up early, saw this scene. Her "parents" suddenly turned into demons when they were communicating with the inspecting police officers and tore the two police officers apart.

The two police officers were careless, thinking they would be safe as they were close to the upper city, but ended up encountering two disguised demons.

The source of the strange dream suffered a great mental shock, and then they were drawn into the strange dream and continued to maintain their original identity as "parents".

In reality, after completing the mission, they could kill the little ghost and retreat. In the dream, they had to keep the little ghost alive.

As for taking her away from here, that's unrealistic. The processing bureau will arrange someone to come sooner or later.

Their plan was to quickly make follow-up arrangements, and when the people from the Processing Bureau came here, they would throw the kid to the people from the Processing Bureau, while they would just observe secretly nearby.

Before that, we must first deal with the unstable factors around Yimengyuan.

After dealing with the ordinary people who were caught up in the dream, they discovered a new danger: there are man-eating creatures in this world!
After they killed those people, the man-eating creatures hiding in the crowd came out after smelling the scent. They were also good at disguise, but they were not demons.

So the two demons who had originally planned to find a place to observe secretly had to stay and find an opportunity to kill those man-eating creatures before observing the situation.

But unexpectedly, before they had time to deal with those man-eating "demons", a dream walker entered the dream. In the dream, the method of distinguishing ordinary people from dream walkers is very simple. You can tell by seeing whether the other party is "freeloading".
