Dream Travel

Chapter 72 The protagonist's halo is working
"I sympathize with the child's plight, but these demons have already been dealt with by the Great Sword. I will handle the rest."

The man in black with glasses smiled and reasoned with Bai Mu that this kind of demon-like corpse must be dealt with.

"No, I said I'd help her deal with it, so I have to finish it. Are you trying to steal my business?"

Seeing Bai Mu directly took out the weapon, the man in black immediately raised his hands and took two steps back: "In that case, I'll leave it to you."

He had no intention of conflicting with Bai Mu, but was just curious about how Bai Mu would deal with the two bodies. Bai Mu directly drove away the man in black with an uncomfortable smile.

Afterwards, Bai Mu checked the condition of the two bodies and took out a pistol. This was the weapon equipped by the police officers in Rota City. It was different from the firearm used by Bai Mu, but it could still be used.

Apart from these, the two demons had no other useful items on them. Bai Mu took out two bottles of holy water and sprinkled them on the corpses and the ground.

The demon's blood immediately made a sizzling sound when it came into contact with the corpse, and the corpse began to rot, but Bai Mu didn't feel it was over yet.

He cut some branches from nearby, gathered some dry firewood, made a fire and threw the chopped pieces of demon into it. He would not keep any of this thing.

Otherwise, who knows what new evil things the organizations in this world will create through the flesh and blood of demons. It would be best to get rid of such things once and for all.

"Oh! Should I kill him as well?" Thinking of the man in black who left, Bai Mu felt a little worried.

He didn't want too many accidents to happen in this dream world. He could leave here directly in the future, but this little girl, as the source of the dream, had to stay here forever.

"Do you want to eat meat?" Looking at the 'barbecue' on the fire, Bai Mu suddenly asked the dazed little girl next to him.

"Wow——" the little girl vomited on the spot.

Bai Mu handed over a piece of firewood: "Then add some firewood. After all, they are your parents. Give them two pieces of firewood."

"They are not my parents, they are monsters." The little girl slapped away the firewood handed to her by Bai Mu.

"Then you just watch first." Bai Mu continued to throw firewood, and from time to time he took a bottle of holy water and sprinkled it on the firewood in his hand. The flame was big enough, and a piece of firewood soaked in water would not affect the performance of the fire.

It’s a pity that after such firewood was ignited, it did not produce the effect of holy flame. Bai Mu took out the remaining half bottle of holy oil, smeared some on a few pieces of firewood, and threw it into the fire.

The burning flame has a little more silver. No wonder holy oil is more expensive than holy water. It is expensive for a reason.

The smell of the burning demon's flesh was also very unpleasant, but in order to avoid future troubles, Bai Mu carefully burned all the demon's flesh and blood into ashes, and then rinsed it with holy water.

Finally, the ashes were wrapped in rags and scattered into the river.

The men in black who were secretly observing were at a loss for words to describe the brutality they witnessed. What kind of deep-seated hatred could this be? Even pulverizing bones and scattering ashes wouldn't be this cruel!
"Then it's your business next." After completing the process of crushing the bones and scattering the ashes, Bai Mu looked at the little girl.

The little girl couldn't help but shrink her body, revealing a look of fear.

"Tell me your name first. My name is Bai Mu."

"...River." River looked at the river at her feet, lowered her head and whispered her name.

"Okay, what are your plans next?"

This question was difficult for a girl who was probably less than twelve years old, but Bai Mu asked it anyway. He couldn't stay here forever, and what about the situation in this world? It was normal for ordinary people to die in accidents on a large scale tomorrow.

Just like this town, it may be fine today, but demons may appear and slaughter people tomorrow.

Even if the source of the dream has the advantage of being the 'protagonist' in the dream, this advantage is not absolute. If the advantage is so strong, the processing bureau will not think of sealing the dream.

Isn't it enough to keep it normally? Anyway, the source of the dream will kill a lot of people in the dream, just like a protagonist, and he won't die. Why worry about the dream getting out of control?

"I... don't know." River was bewildered.

"So what do you want to do now?"

"I do not know either."

"You kid." Bai Mu even doubted how long this child could survive in this strange dream, but who made him come here?

Since he is here, he will arrange the follow-up matters!

"Come with me."

"..."

Bai Mu brought River back to the town. The people in the town became panic again because of Bai Mu's return. They wanted to find the greatsword who had left and ask for after-sales service.

Without wasting time here, Bai Mu went straight to the mayor and asked about what had happened during the time he was away.

"There has always been a demon in the town secretly eating people. We hired a big sword to kill the demon." The mayor hurriedly recounted what happened.

He now regrets that he did not keep the other party for a while longer after completing the commission with the big sword. He was afraid that the young man in front of him was also a demon!
"Gone?"

The mayor looked at River.

"Is it related to her?" The mayor quickly shook his head. "After the greatsword arrived and cleared out the demons, it also left behind a girl whose parents were killed by the demons."

It would have been even better if... the girl left behind by the greatsword was River, but Bai Mu came back with River!

Although the greatsword is frightening, no one thinks that the girl brought by the greatsword is dangerous. How could the silver-eyed witch who kills demons bring demons with her?
Therefore, there were still people in the town who were willing to take in the girl left behind by the other party.

Is this the home advantage of being the source of strange dreams? Bai Mu couldn't help but touch Ruifu's head, which made Ruifu very uncomfortable.

The mayor saw River's awkward expression and felt even more uneasy. He thought about asking Dajian to come again, but her appearance fee was too expensive... He decided to see if anyone had been eaten recently.

If so, consider hiring a great swordsman.

Bai Mu took Ruifu away and returned to the place where Ruifu appeared before. There were still traces of blood on the ground here, which should have been left after the demon was killed.

"Is this your home?" River looked at the small house and asked the girl beside her.

River nodded with some fear, she only had a bad impression of this place.

Bai Mu opened the door and walked in with River. The dilapidated room and the abused child met all the stereotypes of the relevant plots. He began to search the room.

Only some tattered clothes with blood stains were found, but no real costumes.

Those who benefit from the Dream Source benefits will also have their belongings affected, such as clothes and equipment, which will be "lost" due to this benefit.

Those two demons were lucky to have kept a pistol.

Bai Mu, who didn't find anything useful, sat on the not-so-clean bed and continued to think about what to do next.

River's dream source 'halo' was indeed effective. Even without him, the girl had a good chance of meeting someone who could 'change her fate'. As for whether she could seize the opportunity, it was probably possible.

This is the starting point for River to enter the dream. She has a huge home advantage and can do things that others cannot.

But after that, she could no longer maintain the home advantage brought by the starting point. Bai Mu knew the plot. In the original plot, not long after Denise left the child Claire, the town was attacked by the bandit Tutu. Even if River seized the opportunity to change her fate, it would be difficult for her to stay here.

After leaving her starting point, she was just a little girl of about twelve years old. Without the halo of being a regional protagonist, how far could she go?
Brother Thorn had already shown Bai Mu the problems that would arise after leaving the starting point. Of course, in his situation, he had no choice.

The starting point gave Thorne the "protagonist halo", but that starting point did not receive such treatment and he still had to be hit by a nuclear bomb in the end.

Bai Mu didn't even see the mushroom cloud when he left.

"How about I take you through the process quickly?" Bai Mu looked at Rui Fu.

Denise, the 'protagonist' who lives in memory in "Broadsword", is undoubtedly powerful. It's a pity that she died. If she died, she would no longer be the protagonist, but a 'ceiling cannon fodder' that paves the way for the plot.

But the opponent is not dead yet, so there is enough room for maneuver.

"Can we, can we leave here? I'm scared." River didn't hear what Baimu said at all. She was filled with fear for this small room.

"What are you afraid of? I'll burn it down later! Just like I burned down your fake parents."

River covered her mouth and felt like vomiting again.

Bai Mu carried Rui Fu out of the room. Having made the decision, they started to act.

Use River's starting point as your base and build a stable base for her first.

Before that, he wanted to find another girl and have a meal with her.

The girl left behind by the 'Silver-Eyed Witch' was not difficult to find. Bai Mu asked around a bit, and the frightened residents told him the information he needed.

When he found a restaurant to eat on the road, the owner of the restaurant didn't dare to collect money. The people here really treated him as a demon. If Bai Mu looked at the fruit stall on the roadside for a second longer, the owner of the fruit stall would stuff a bunch of fruits at him.

"To be honest, it feels pretty good to be a bully." Bai Mu said to Rui Fu while chewing the fruit in his hand. When he thought about what he was going to do next, whether it was eating a free meal or eating the fruit given by the fruit stall owner, he felt at ease.

He just ate something, but he would save their lives soon!

"Damn, this is such a cheap deal!" Bai Mu opened the box he was carrying and pointed at the house in the distance and said to Rui Fu, "Go and call the girl over there to me."

River shook her head timidly: "I don't want to go."

"If you don't go, I'll leave you here and go on my own."

River breathed a sigh of relief, as if she could escape from the tiger's mouth immediately.

Bai Mu's face darkened, and his smile became a little ferocious: "I changed my mind. Wait, I'll take you to the woods for a barbecue!"

The bullied little girl covered her mouth and ran towards the house, knocking on the door very gently.

The sound was not even as loud as the sound of footsteps, and Baimu couldn't bear it anymore.
