Dream Travel

Chapter 78 Hang one up first

Will Dajian arrive on time? It would be better to wait for Denise to come back earlier. The half-month deadline has arrived. As long as Denise doesn't come back with a head, he can retire with his mission accomplished.

The town, which had returned to normal, was once again in a state of panic. The residents all had their own homes, but the hotel where Baimu was staying was full.

"Do you know what consequences this will lead to?" Bai Mu sat on the balcony and asked Rui Fu beside him.

"what?"

River was staring at a problem with her head down, thinking hard. Bai Mu's words made her look up in confusion.

“Regarding the fact that the hotel was full but the guests were all locals.”

"Will the hotel owner make a lot of money?"

"It will provide more cover for the demons." Bai Mu tapped Rui Fu's head and said, "I'll give you two more questions later."

Ruifu pouted in grievance and lowered her head to continue solving the problem.

"Should we move out then?"

Claire made another suggestion.

"That's a good idea. I'll give you two more questions."

Claire lowered her head and remained silent. After a while, she asked cautiously, "If you think something is wrong, then you should tell us what's wrong, right?"

"You're all right. When I was alone, the demons weren't that threatening. One-on-one, I could still be a little stronger. But with the two of you here, they're only a little stronger than me."

"Denisa will be back in four days." Claire looked at the new question given by Bai Mu and said softly.

"It's also possible that fragments will come back."

"What's the meaning!"

"Just wait and see. I'll take you for a run later."

Claire thought about what happened yesterday: "Just like yesterday?"

Bai Mu shook his head: "If it's the same as yesterday, I'm dead."

When the demon doesn't transform, it's not difficult for him to defeat it. The physical strength displayed after the transformation is much higher than that in the disguised state.

Moreover, the newly appeared monsters are stronger than the previous ones, and their body transformation abilities are stronger and more extensible.

"What about us?"

"Haha, maybe demons like fair and tender girls like you." Bai Mu laughed sinisterly, which made River feel a little nauseous. Claire had come into contact with demons before and didn't react much.

"Anyway, try to stay in crowded places these days."

Nothing happened on Baimu's side. Perhaps there were no monsters in the town, or perhaps those monsters were still waiting and watching.

But on the second day, someone disappeared in the town, and his whereabouts remained unknown. As a result, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets that day, and even the children who came to Baimu to take classes were gone.

On the third day, the number of missing people in the town began to increase. In panic, the mayor found Bai Mu.

"Mr. Baimu, please take action!" The mayor could no longer bear the pressure. "The greatsword hasn't arrived yet, but people are still dying in this town. Even if it's an accidental killing, we can accept it!"

How many people could be killed by manslaughter? As long as the demon can be found, no one will think that the missing people are still alive.

"Okay, let's start with you." Bai Mu took out a pistol and pointed it at the mayor's head. The latter's pupils suddenly contracted, and his normal eyes immediately turned into vertical pupils. The corners of his mouth cracked, and the changed claws blocked his head.

No gunshot was heard. The demon mayor who arrived was kicked out of the room by Bai Mu and hit the wall. Cracks spread from the wall outside the door.

"Ha~ This kind of attack that doesn't hurt at all... Ahhh!" The demon mayor who stood firmly laughed disdainfully. Bai Mu's strength was very strong, and the demon's physique was even stronger, so it was not a big problem for him to withstand this attack.

But after his feet were crushed by Bai Mu, the brief pain made the demon roar, and a dagger pierced into his brain from the demon's chin. The huge force made the demon fly into the air, and the fatal injury made the demon mayor lose the ability to move further.

Pulling out the dagger, Bai Mu shook off the blood on it and shouted towards the corridor: "Come over and clean up the demons!"

"Ah! Was the mayor also eaten by the demon?" The innkeeper who ran up looked at the corpse on the ground in horror. The demon's appearance was different from that of a human after the transformation, but the clothes on his body did not change. He immediately recognized the demon's identity.

Didn't the mayor say he wanted Bai Mu to take action? With so many people missing, the people in the town could accept the possibility of manslaughter. At least the demon had been dealt with and wouldn't continue to harm people.

"Have a stake erected."

Bai Mu put away the dagger and missed his rifle more and more. To deal with this thing, he really needed a rifle. As for the speed of the monster? His own reaction speed was not slow. Under the suppression of hot weapons, as long as the three or five monsters did not surround him, he would definitely win!

But with the two in the room, it's hard to tell who will win.

The panicked residents quickly produced a stake, which was a makeshift one but worked.

Bai Mu hung up the body of the demon mayor and looked at the crowd, seeing the mayor's family. Although they were terrified and sad, they were more relieved that the demon had been dealt with in advance.

They don't have to continue living with demons disguised as humans, and may even be eaten without knowing it. Based on this, the demon mayor's family members don't have any negative feelings towards Bai Mu at all. When Bai Mu went over to talk to them, the mayor's family members even thanked him.

"ignition!"

A raging flame started from the center of the town. It was a medieval setting, with people burning at the stake, and what was being burned were not witches but demons... You get the idea.

What doesn’t match is that the people here believe not in God but in the Gemini goddesses.

As dusk approached, the flames engulfed the demon's body. Looking at the burning fire, the fear in the hearts of the townspeople was inexplicably dispelled.

Although demons are scary, they seem to be no different from humans after death. They will turn into ashes when set on fire. All we need to do is find the demons and send them to the burning pillars, right?
"Oh, are they holding some kind of celebration? Do you want to join in?" A man in black with sunglasses stood on a high cliff and looked at the town. The firelight could be seen clearly from here.

"You are joking?"

The man in black robe next to them became more and more uneasy. There was something wrong with Baimu. If they took the initiative to go to the town, how could they be safe if they were discovered by the other party?

But things here were fine. What still worried him more was the situation at the organization. Communication with him had been temporarily severed. He didn't know why. He had contacted other messengers, but they hadn't received any new information yet. Lulu, the man in sunglasses, pushed his glasses up and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone, "Even if we delay, the Great Sword will arrive."

"Then release it again... Damn it!" The man in black robe thought of the organization that had no news, and his expression became even gloomier. They would release the parasites that transform demons regularly in order to keep the demons active.

Occasionally, some parasites would transfer their hosts to remote places, but that didn't matter to the organization. The demons were the catfish that stimulated the island, so it didn't matter if there were demons that were out of control occasionally.

If you encounter a big sword, just clean it out directly. If you don’t encounter one, forget it. The remote and poor villages cannot provide much funds to the organization. If it’s gone, it’s gone.

Just like this town, after clearing out the demons, when the residents here come back to recuperate, they can continue to release parasites that transform into demons, and then harvest the leeks again.

The early release of demons this time is a special case, but that kind of parasite has been used up now. Based on the special situation, the demons transformed from the parasites brought by the black-robed man will be stronger.

As a result, the transformed demon was too anxious, so he sent one at the beginning to test it, but he sent three directly, and now one is gone. There are only a few demons left this time, but Baimu is still fine.

The best thing to do at the moment is to continue releasing demons before the Great Sword arrives. As for completely stopping the Great Sword from coming, that is not very realistic. The Great Sword does not know the truth about the organization, and the town has not "breached the contract."

The most he could do was to delay the arrival of the greatsword, allowing them to go to other areas to clear out the monsters first.

But the problem is that the organization cannot be contacted now!

If he wanted to release a new demon, he had to go back to the organization himself or ask someone else to get the new parasite.

This back and forth took too much time. If we could have contacted the organization a few days ago, the new demons would have been deployed there.

"No, I want to go back." The man in black robe was becoming more and more uneasy and could not help it. Unless the remaining demons attacked Bai Mu at the same time, with Bai Mu's vigilance and combat power, they would be wiped out if they attacked them one by one.

Those demons have their own selves. The organization is only responsible for deploying them but not controlling them. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to find those demons and order them to do so.

The consequence of taking the initiative to go over is that the demon will ask you who you are and eat you as food.

"Then why don't we continue investigating his case? The leader will be angry if we fail." Lulu reminded from the side.

"As long as he is still here, the investigation can be carried out at any time!" The man in black robe was very decisive.

"Then I'll go back and take a look. Without new demons, I can't find any information here." Lulu said with a smile, "Besides, he has met me before, so it's not safe for me to stay here."

Lulu's smile made the man in black robe feel uncomfortable, and the two of them rushed towards the direction of the organization.

Compared to the real mainland, this island is actually very small, but it will take time for them to go back.

But on the way back, the man in black robe met someone who shouldn't be here!
Looking at the sword-wielding woman blocking the way, the black-robed man's expression was gloomy: "Denisa, you shouldn't be here."

"Ah? It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do with the organization now." Denise said with a faint smile: "I have figured out some things."

"What?" The man in black robe was shocked. Denise was the best warrior of the contemporary era. If she rebelled, it would be a huge threat to the organization, especially since she had just returned to the organization's base.

"This is it." Denise took out the two heads she was carrying. The man in black robe couldn't hold it anymore. He recognized the identities of the two heads.

It’s the organization’s chief scientist Daye and leader Lemoto!
"It's time for you to hit the road."

"Wait..." The man in black robe was about to say something when his perspective started to rotate. The last thing he saw was the inexplicable smile of Lulu, the man in black.

"Oh hehe, it seems you have found the truth you were looking for."

"You have achieved your goal." Denise walked past Lulu. When she returned to the organization, the other party had contact with her and even inadvertently revealed some information.

She found this information confusing at first, but after the organization investigated deeper secrets, the information provided by Lulu became clear.

The other party is from the organization, but he should be a spy or something like that.

As for her investigation process... well, in order to save time, after finding some clues, she acted very decisively. The soldiers from the organization couldn't stop her, and ordinary guards couldn't stop her either.

What's more, what she is best at is sensing demonic energy. When she was not really exposed at the beginning, it was too easy for her to avoid those people in the organization.

After being exposed, she found what she wanted. The rules set by the organization for Dajian were no longer effective after she discovered the truth about the organization.

For those who still believed in the organization, she would simply cut off their hands and feet, and let those who were wavering see the truth for themselves. As for the core members of the organization, they had no chance to escape during her surprise attack.

Even if some escaped, the remaining people would be useless after the truth about the organization was discovered.

"Then I congratulate you in advance on taking back the place where you live." Lulu adjusted her hat: "But now you'd better go back quickly."

"..."

A breeze blew, and Lulu looked at the place where Denise disappeared and picked up the head that fell on the ground: "That was really scary just now."

Denise was quick and efficient when killing demons. Killing people would be even easier than dealing with demons, but he didn't expect that Denise could actually do it to this extent.

One person killed his way through the organization?

In addition to the foundation of strength, the timing of her return was too good. Except for some soldiers who stayed behind, the rest of the soldiers in the organization were active in other places. In particular, the soldiers in the organization who were said to have great potential and were not inferior to Denise were also fighting outside.

But it was too late to say these things now. Lulu quickened his pace to go back. He wanted to see the current situation of the organization and make a final confirmation.

As for the possibility of the organization's revival? Only if the leader Lemoto died could there be such a possibility. But if the chief scientist Daye also died, then even the ashes would be gone.

Lulu even suspected that Bai Mu was a new spy arranged by her people. If so, his efficiency was too high. What she had not been able to do in all these years, he had accomplished just by instigating a soldier from an organization to defect, although such a soldier was rare in a century.

No matter how he guessed, Lulu had no intention of going to Bai Mu to verify it. His guess was just a possibility. The enemy of his enemy might not be his friend. He just needed to make sure that the organization's plan was completely shattered.

The rest has nothing to do with him.

Late at night in the town, the afterglow of the burning stake was still there, but no one lingered in the square. A few slightly distorted human figures lingered there briefly.

Inside the hotel, the door that was damaged during the day was replaced with a new one. Bai Mu yawned and didn't sleep. Setting up a stake to burn demons was a direct provocation to those demons.

Demons are also intelligent. Will the provoked demons be able to survive tonight?
Bai Mu touched the weapon, and the excitement in his heart dispelled the tiredness.
