Dream Travel

Chapter 74 That’s Really Reliable

Bai Mu's injury actually became a plus. In the eyes of the people in the town, the injured Bai Mu looked more like a human being. In addition, he repelled the robbers and solved the crisis facing the town. What was there to be afraid of?
The mayor even took the initiative to send medicine, and Bai Mu took care of the wound himself, and Bai Mu did not let Ruifu avoid the process.

Under the little girl's grinning gaze, Bai Mu wet the bandages on his body and peeled them off bit by bit.

The door was suddenly pushed open, Bai Mu's hand trembled violently, and Ruifu showed a look of pain. She was not the one injured, so she did not feel any pain, but when she saw Bai Mu slowly tearing off the bandage and suddenly a large piece was torn off, she felt phantom pain just by looking at it.

"...It hurts so much, pay me!" Bai Mu suppressed the urge to cry out and looked at the person who opened the door with dissatisfaction. Beside the person was Claire, who was holding wet clothes and looked at a bewildered woman.

"Okay, how much compensation do you want?" Denise crossed her arms and looked at Bai Mu. Judging from the wounds on his body, they should be scratches left by demons.

There are many types of demons. Some demons are not that powerful, and ordinary people do have the ability to deal with them. The problem is that most people find it difficult to muster the courage to resist demons.

Bai Mu rolled his eyes and pushed Rui Fu: "I don't want money anymore, how about you help me take care of her?"

"I'll give you money, how about you take good care of her?" Denise pushed Claire out.

When she came over, she already knew what had happened here. Bai Mu came earlier than her. He first snatched the girl away on the street, then was chased out, and then came back with Rui Fu.

However, by then she had already dealt with the demons in the town and left after leaving Claire behind, so the two of them did not meet, and then it was a matter of bandits preparing to plunder the town.

Bai Mu, who had returned, seemed to have anticipated this and ambushed the robbers in advance.

After seeing Bai Mu, she was sure that there was nothing wrong with Bai Mu. He was not a demon, nor was he the special "demon" she had encountered not long ago. Then the residents who chased Bai Mu out of the town but did not return must be a demon.

The wounds on his body from the battle with the "demon" had healed and should not have been left by the demon that had chased him out before. Judging from these signs, Bai Mu was more reliable than many others.

It would be safer to entrust Claire to his care than to just any other family.

When she first found Claire, she was helping someone wash clothes. Denise took the opportunity to check the clothes. The clothes were new, but the traces of battle left on them were very recent.

In addition to his injury, Bai Mu should have fought a lot of battles in the past two days, and then ran here to deal with demons and repel robbers. The process was discontinuous and difficult to connect together, but she didn't care about it.

"No, you have to stay if you want me to take good care of her."

"Are you also interested in the greatsword's body?" The smile on Denise's face deepened a little.

Claire hugged Denise tightly, and she had bad memories.

"Judging from his face, there must be some. The biggest problem is that I can't keep it." Bai Mu grinned and tore off the remaining bandages. Anyway, his hands were shaking and he had already torn off a large piece, so he simply pulled off the remaining bandages.

Let's go.

Bai Mu continued, "You can stay. I can also give you reasons for staying. Do you want to hear them?"

Denise reached out and closed the door behind her, put the weapons she was carrying at the door, and sat down in a chair opposite the white curtain.

"Tell me about it."

Having already regretted it once, she wasn't going to make another hasty choice. In fact, after realizing the problem with the robbers, she realized that she still cared about Claire.

However, her identity meant that she couldn't always carry a girl around with her. If Claire followed her all the time, her ultimate destination would be to become the new 'Great Sword'.

But it is not so easy to be a great sword.

"There's something wrong with your organization. This island is a testing ground for biological weapons research. The demons are transformed from humans, just like the Awakened. The source of all evil isn't the demons, but your organization."

"Are you someone who is hostile to the organization?" Denise's reaction was not obvious. Her sense of belonging to the organization was... average.

But Bai Mu's direct criticism of her organization made her a little concerned. For example, was what the young man in front of her said true?

"This has to start with the planets. Do you believe me when I say the world is round?"

"Go on." Denise didn't express whether she believed it or not.

"The planet is round. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west because of the planet's rotation, and the seasons change because of its revolution around the sun. So the question is, how many people do you think there are on a planet like this?"

"I don't know, but what you said had better be related to what's coming next, otherwise I don't mind taking you back to the organization."

The smile on Denise's face did not change. Putting down the weapon meant that she would not use force here.

"Of course it's related. This is just an inconspicuous island on the planet. Beyond this, there is a much wider world. There, two countries are at war. As the war escalates, each side begins to seek a stronger force. This place is a testing ground for one country to find a stronger force."

Bai Mu doesn't care whether it's a spoiler or not. He already knows all this information, so why not use it?
Anyway, he just walked away afterwards. If the environment of this world... no, this island doesn't change, River's life will be difficult in the future.

Unless she can become a greatsword here, never leave this town, and always get the bonus of the starting place, there are no nuclear weapons in this world, and she doesn't have to worry about being forced to leave her homeland.

"Where's the evidence?"

Bai Mu spread his hands and said, "The evidence is in your organization. I only have one mouth. How about this? We go find those bandits and root them out. You sign a pledge of allegiance, and then we go with you to investigate the organization?"

"I will investigate it myself, you take good care of her." Denise pushed Claire in front of the white curtain.

"Aren't you worried that I might lie to you?" "If you were an enemy of the organization, and I knew you, you wouldn't have the chance to overthrow the organization. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't lie to me?"

"Hahaha, how long do I have to wait for you?" Bai Mu laughed. He didn't expect that the process of persuading Denise would be so smooth. Maybe it was because River's starting point protagonist halo took effect?

It feels great to get the wool from Yimengyuan.

"I'll be back in half a month. If it takes longer than that, you should take her and run away from this 'island' you mentioned."

Bai Mu shook his head: "What do you think of my strength?"

Denise raised a finger: "In front of me, you will die the moment you count this number."

"Don't look down on me, it's at least two!" Bai Mu retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Then most ordinary demons are no match for you. Don't forget what I said, the great sword will not attack humans. If I hadn't come back, you still had a chance to escape."

Bai Mu clicked his tongue and pointed at Claire and River: "That's easier said than done. You probably don't have a concrete understanding of the ocean. If you can't come back, they'll have no choice but to abandon the light and join the dark.

I also advise you that it’s okay to be confident, but don’t be too confident, or you’ll end up getting your head chopped off… Beautiful girl, come back soon, don’t make me wait too long.”

Denise stood up and said, "Half a month, one more day and you can take them away from here."

"Don't be so sure. What if you get delayed by something else? I can wait a few more days."

"If there really were problems with the organization, my return would not be delayed."

"If you don't want to be delayed, don't hold back on your strength."

Bai Mu reminded her again and looked through the things he brought. The equipment that could greatly enhance his strength seemed to be of no use to Denise.

Seeing the pistol, Bai Mu asked eagerly, "Can you split the bullet?"

"You mean the thing that killed those bandits?"

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

"I can try."

Denise's confidence made her not intend to refuse Bai Mu's proposal.

Bai Mu took a clean piece of cloth and wrapped it around himself, then put on the clothes of this world and walked out: "Let's go find a place to try it out."

Denise used her strength to prove that she could really chop bullets, and she did not do so by predicting the timing when Bai Mu would pull the trigger, but by doing so after he fired the gun.

When trying, Baimu did not go straight into the main act. He first shot at the target and let Denise watch before starting the subsequent main act.

"This weapon is good. It can kill powerful monsters."

Denise commented on Bai Mu's weapon, saying it could kill demons, but that was all. After encountering the awakened, Bai Mu's weapon was not very effective. It was not that the weapon could not cause damage to the awakened, but that the awakened's recovery ability was very strong and the speed was too fast.

The speed of the bullet was fast enough, but Bai Mu's speed was not fast enough. Even though his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, he would still be killed by the demon if he could not inflict a fatal wound.

"wait me back."

This time, Denise was talking to Claire. Claire was reluctant to leave, but not as upset as last time. The last time she was left in the town, she felt like she was being abandoned.

This time, Denise is just saying goodbye briefly and will come back.

"Denisa, you must be careful!" Claire took two steps forward and shouted loudly.

Denise walked away without looking back.

"It's gone. Stop looking and come back with me." Bai Mu said. After Denise left, Claire's mood visibly dropped. As for River...

Let her take it easy today, and he will go teach the child math problems tomorrow!
"You found a suitable adopter for the girl."

A man in a black robe appeared near Denise. He looked at Denise with a complicated look. Denise was the current best swordsman in the organization. When she hurriedly returned to the town, her "agent" had a strong premonition.

Denise was about to kill someone, but there was another master in that town, so Denise missed this "opportunity".

"After getting to know him, I found him to be a very reliable man. I have no problem entrusting Claire to him."

"Only for this short time?"

"He can hold on to the count of two when I'm going to throw a shot."

The man in black robe stopped talking, which means he is indeed reliable.
