The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

The dream-eating tapir, a monster in the Fusang legend of the derived world, is actually unrelated to the dream-eating tapir in the demon world.

The dream-eating tapir clan in the demon world had long been extinct, and naturally the dream-eating technique also disappeared with the extinction of the dream-eating tapir clan in the demon world.

It can be said that if there was no World Tree Terminal, it would be more difficult for Luo Shu to solve the dreamweaving spell of Boyman's dream gate tonight.

"So, these 9,000 points were worth it."

After reading the information provided by the World Tree Terminal about the dream-eating technique and the dream-eating tapir clan in the demon world, Luo Shu's impression of the dream demon clan in the demon world became even worse.

"The Dream Demon Clan has been favored by Nomad, so you are destined for death. Don't let me know who cast the Dream Weaving spell on Boyman, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death."

Luo Shu sneered and activated the "Dream Eating Spell" that he had obtained with nine thousand points of world origin. Then he found that his mental power was dissolving little by little with the effect of the Dream Eating Spell, and then seeping in little by little from the gaps in the spider web woven by the Nightmare Weaving Spell on Boyman's Dream Gate.

"This Dream-Eating Spell is truly a natural counter to the Dream-Weaving Spell. No wonder the Dream Demons exterminated the Dream-Eating Tapirs. The Dream-Eating Tapirs' racial innate spell is clearly designed to exploit a bug in the Dream-Weaving Spell."

While Luo Shu was daydreaming, he quickly came to the deep level of Boyman's dream, which was closely related to his deep subconscious.

If we apply mental suggestion to Boyman here, the effect of the technique will be better.

Moreover, with the help of the dream-eating technique, his mental power dissolved into smaller particles, allowing him to more comprehensively give Boyman more covert and less noticeable mental suggestions.

The Dream Demon Clan would never have imagined that after the Dream-Eating Tapir Clan in the demon world became extinct, the Dream-Eating Spell could still continue to wreak havoc.

After Luo Shu completed the transformation of Boyman's subconscious mind, he quickly completed the mental suggestion operation on him.

As for why he did not directly interpret Boyman's memory, it was mainly because he was currently unable to interfere with dreams in a more refined manner. Tampering with common sense and memory deconstruction could not be achieved by relying solely on the dream-eating technique. The dream-eating technique only allowed Luo Shu to have a countermeasure to bypass the dream-weaving technique's defense mechanism against dreams.

Only the divine favor [Confusing Words] was enough to achieve the BUG-level effect of tampering with common sense and memory deconstruction in the derived world, but unfortunately, Luo Shu directly exchanged this thing for the origin of the world for short-term gains.

"Forget it, there's no need to regret it now. So, I might as well replace [Confusing Words]. My self-control is pretty poor, and this kind of divine favor from a derivative world cannot be used outside the current world, so the restrictions are quite large."

Luo Shu comforted himself while withdrawing his mental power little by little from the depths of Boyman's dream world. Then he discovered that the total amount of the mysterious substance "Dream Soul" he gained from invading the dream this time was a little more than what he got from humans in the evil world.

"The amount of dream spirits collected by humans from the Inferior Century is quite impressive. No wonder the Dream Demons of the Demon Realm used the Dream Weaving Technique on Boyman. It seems that the reason the Demon Realm invaded the Inferior World was probably to plunder the mysterious substances of this world. The origin of the world is also a kind of mysterious substance.

So, from now on, I can use the convenient properties of the Dream Eater technique to collect nightmares from the people in the derived world, and then refine them into dream spirits, making advance preparations for the resources needed to build the dream world of Sky Island World."

Thinking of this, he took a last look at Boyman who was sleeping soundly.

"I'll let you live a few more days. I hope you can give me some surprises before you die."

After saying that, Luo Shu took out the imperial weapon [Shangri-La], activated the dimensional matrix, left Boyman's private bedroom, and teleported back to the living room of Qianying Apartment.

"For the next period of time, the Boyman family should temporarily suspend their advances on Tsubakihara Corporation. However, to be on the safe side, I still have to find a way to meet with Rurikawa Tsubaki."

Luo Shu thought about this and began to think about his next move.

"I wonder what Miss Mira will think after seeing this news?"

……

On the other side, the Tsubakihara family, a three-story duplex villa.

Mira Tsubakihara's private bedroom.

Miss Mira also couldn't sleep tonight.

Chapter 3: Miss Mira intends to take risks

Mira Tsubakihara was wearing a fiery red lace nightgown at this time, and her curvy body exuded an extremely charming charm.

At this moment, Miss Mira's face showed some visible fatigue.

She leaned against the headboard, brows furrowed as she stared at the tablet in her hand.

"Isn't Nomad Precision Manufacturing an arms dealer? How did the Boyman family get involved with an arms dealer?"

Mira Tsubakihara couldn't understand why Boyman, a rising star in the financial and social circles of Fuso, would suddenly become involved with the arms dealers of the Lighthouse Country.

"However, if the rumors circulating online are partially true, then it makes sense that the Boyman family would have precisely and efficiently annexed the Liulichuan family's assets after the plane crash. After all, as an arms dealer, Nomad Precision Manufacturing Company is capable of orchestrating a plane crash. But why would Nomad target the Liulichuan family?"

Mira Tsubakihara cannot understand Nomad's motives because she is unaware of the conflict between Tsubaki Rurikawa's parents and Nomad Precision Manufacturing Company.

However, she could more or less guess the motives of the Boyman family in taking over the Liulichuan family.

It was probably because the current head of the Boyman family had mentioned the idea of ​​marrying Liurikawa Tsubaki, the only daughter of the Liurikawa family, at a cocktail party attended by many celebrities. However, he was ruthlessly rejected in public by the then head of the Liurikawa family, leaving Boyman in an embarrassing situation.

"Eh, I really still can't understand why the declining aristocracy that has survived from the Edo period still retains prejudices against family status."

Mira Tsubakihara sighed softly, and immediately developed some affection for this mysterious man who spread the news about the possible cooperation between Boyman and Nomad.

Because she knew that she couldn't delay any longer, otherwise her two daughters might be dragged into it. "I'm sorry, Chun, this is all I can do for you. But don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you find the mysterious person who spread the news. Maybe he is the only one who can help you now."

Thinking of this, Mira Tsubakihara pondered for a while and opened a whistleblower forum called "Insider".

This NEET detective was also the one that Mira Tsubakihara found online today. He was the first person to spread the news of a secret partnership between the Boyman family and Nomade Precision Manufacturing Company.

Although Mira Tsubakihara didn't know why the NEET detective left his contact information, she still sent him an email with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and told him that a financial backer behind the "Insider" forum had a close relationship with the Boyman family.

Unfortunately, Mira Tsubakihara had no idea how difficult it would be to find a hacker expert like Shionji Yuuko on the Internet.

The email address that Yuko Shionji left on the "Insider" forum was essentially just for phishing.

But she never thought that she would unexpectedly attract the attention of Mira Tsubakihara.

At this time, Detective Alice, who was active at night and dodging during the day, looked at the phishing email address with some distress. It contained the business email address of Mira Tsubakihara, the president of Tsubakihara Co., Ltd., and she was in a dilemma.

"Ms. Tsubakihara, you don't seem to realize how much trouble you've gotten yourself into."

The petite detective Alice looked at the contents of Mira Tsubakihara's email. Most of it expressed her concerns about her publishing such information and reminded her to pay attention to her privacy and security. Only at the end of the letter did she very tactfully ask if she could help contact the mysterious person who commissioned her to spread the news.

"However, Ms. Tsubakihara is quite perceptive. She noticed so early on that there was someone else who had commissioned me to investigate. But how should I tell my employer? Could that person be Ms. Tsubakihara's suitor?"

Shionji Yuuko was rarely curious about Luo Shu, the mysterious employer. She then clicked on Tsubakihara Mira's personal account on YouTube and found only a few photos of her wearing rather conservative business attire.

However, after looking at the photos, she had to admit that Mira Tsubakihara was a well-deserved beauty.

"Could it be that Mr. Luo has taken a fancy to Ms. Tsubakihara? If that's the case, then he has pretty good taste."

Yuko Shionji muttered something, then clicked on Mira Tsubakihara's profile and found that she was married and divorced and had a pair of twin daughters.

"Mr. Luo should know this, but this is too strange. Could it be that Mr. Luo has some special preferences?"

The petite Detective Alice hugged her legs in distress and fell into deep thought.

However, when she recalled the content of the heartfelt email from Mira Tsubakihara, she suddenly felt that she would regret it if she didn't do something.

So, after much deliberation, Shionji Ariko sent a reply to Tsubakihara Mira, saying that she could only try her best to help her contact him.

Then, she sent an email to Luo Shu's private email address.

"It's done."

……

At the same time, Luo Shu had just left Boyman's private bedroom and returned to the living room on the eleventh floor of the Chizakura Apartment in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.

He was about to go into the bedroom to take a shower and rest, but he heard a notification from the World Tree terminal that Detective Alice had sent a new email.

"A letter from Alice?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shu sank into the bathtub while holding the World Tree terminal and opened his mobile mailbox. He found an email from Detective Alice, which basically told him not to forget to complete the investigation commission on time. At the end, it mentioned that Mira Tsubakihara contacted her. It seemed that she guessed that there was someone else who spread the news of the relationship between Boyman and Nomad, and that the other party seemed very eager to meet him offline.

The letter also included screenshots of some of the letter's contents and Mira Tsubakihara's business email address.

"Did Miss Mira notice it so quickly?"

Luo Shu didn't expect that Tsubakihara Mira could so quickly and accurately deduce that Detective Alice was not the mastermind behind the spread of the news.

"However, if Miss Mira wants to arrange a meeting with me offline, doesn't that mean that Liulichuan Tsubaki's current situation is no longer optimistic? Fortunately, I have already given Boyman this mental hint. Now it's time to find a way to reasonably take over Boyman's assets."

Luo Shu was sorting out how to use Boyman as a chess piece to maximize his benefits.

As for helping Liulichuan Tsubasa to regain the family business, that was not within his consideration. Unless Liulichuan Tsubasa was willing to pay a sufficient price, after he took over the Boyman family business, he did not intend to return the part of the Liulichuan family business that was originally embezzled by Boyman to the original owner.

He leaned on the edge of the bathtub and looked up at the tiles on the bathroom ceiling.

"It's also good to meet offline. I can also take this opportunity to bind a teleportation anchor to Miss Mira in advance as a precaution. After all, Miss Mira may have been noticed by Boyman Family and even Nomad because she was blocking the Boyman Family from annexing the Liulichuan Family's assets. We can't rule out the possibility that Nomad Family will take action against the Tsubakihara Family."

Thinking of this, Luo Shu immediately sent a reply to Detective Alice, and gave the address of a high-end Italian restaurant located in Ginza Hall 1, and specifically stated that he was free on Sunday this week.

"This Sunday?"

Shionji Yuko looked at Luo Shu's reply, thought for a while, relayed Mr. Luo's meaning, and then sent a reply letter to Tsubakihara Mira. However, this time she deliberately filled in the wrong address for Mira.

Mira Tsubakihara didn't expect that the NEET detective would reply to her so quickly. She was planning to put on a facial mask and go to sleep, but after opening the reply, she was a little surprised.

"It was so easy to make an appointment with that mysterious person. Could this NEET detective be lying to me?"

After all, Mira Tsubakihara is not an innocent little girl. She has experienced the ups and downs of the business world and is used to seeing the wickedness of human nature. To be on the safe side, after a little thought, she sent an email to Detective NEET, tactfully expressing that she was afraid it would be hard for her to believe that Detective NEET had made an appointment with the mysterious man.

When Shionji Yuuko saw Mira Tsubakihara's reply, she wasn't surprised.

After all, the distrust revealed in Mira Tsubakihara's reply was a normal reaction in her opinion. This proved that Mira Tsubakihara did not easily believe the address given by a stranger just because she wanted to meet the mysterious person.

After confirming this, Shionji Yuuko pondered for a long time and sent an email to Tsubakihara Mira for the second time, attaching the content of her email chat with Luo Shu. Of course, she deliberately concealed the email address information of her employer Luo Shu. She still had the awareness of keeping her employer's secret.

When Mira Tsubakihara received the second email with the screenshot, she skeptically wrote down the new address sent by the NEET detective and saved it in her mobile phone memo.

"It seems that the address Detective Nit gave me the first time was indeed fake. Fortunately, I didn't choose to believe it directly.

However, Detective NEET was so cautious, it seemed that she had really communicated with the mysterious person. But if this person chose to meet in Ginza, his economic situation and social status should be quite good.

More importantly, this mysterious man doesn't seem to have a favorable impression of the Boyman family and Nomad Precision Manufacturing Company. Instead, he harbors hostility towards Boyman and Nomad. From what we can see so far, this mysterious man is a friend, not an enemy..."

Mira Tsubakihara murmured. She had been through the ups and downs of the business world for a long time and knew that even if the enemy of her enemy could not be her friend, she could still cooperate with him cautiously to create a sense of surprise. Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"But before I tell Chun this news, I must first make sure that this mysterious man is trustworthy to Chun. Otherwise, it would be more trouble than good to escape from the tiger's mouth and walk into the wolf's den."

Yes, Miss Mira finally decided to take the risk and go to Ginza on Sunday to meet the mysterious man who hired Detective NEET.

At the same time that Mira Tsubakihara made up her mind, Luo Shu finished reading the last email sent by Detective Alice that night, then left the bathtub and returned to the bedroom to rest.

Chapter 4: Princess Alice's Morning Call

A dreamless night.

The next morning, Luo Shu was awakened by his biological clock at 6:30 on time.

He washed up and made himself a simple breakfast. After breakfast, he returned to the bedroom and took out one million yen in cash from the safe.

At seven o'clock in the morning, he mailed the letter containing one million yen to the remittance address left by Shionji Yuuko.

Afterwards, he took out the World Tree terminal and sent an email to Detective Alice, saying that his remittance had been made.

Just as he sent an email reminder to Detective Alice, the elf princess Alice called him.

"Good morning, Alice-san."

"Good morning, Luo Shu. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Not really. I'm used to getting up early. Alice-san called me so early in the morning. Is there something wrong?"

"Last night, several more demon attacks occurred in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This time, the nature of the attacks was particularly severe."

Alice's tone revealed a hint of anger, "Because most of the targets of the demon attacks this time were young and beautiful human women."

"The Fuso Taimanin didn't catch the assailant?"

Luo Shu frowned slightly when he heard Alice's report, "Could it be that the demon escaped?"

"Yes, not only was the demon that committed the crime not caught, but the then-captain of the Taimanin Squadron, Ms. Asaki Igawa's fiancé, Kyousuke Sawaki, also disappeared."

"What do you mean?" Luo Shu heard the name of Jinghe Asaki appear, and the other party's childhood sweetheart and fiancé Sawaki Kyousuke disappeared, and he realized that the traitor Oboro might have made a comeback, but he still pretended to be confused.

"How is last night's Shinjuku demon attack related to the disappearance of Ikawa Asaki's fiancé?"

Alice seemed to have anticipated Luo Shu's question, and she immediately explained, "Because it was Ms. Jinghe Asaki who led the Taimanin team to Shinjuku to investigate the demon attack last night."

"Iris, are you saying that this demon attack is essentially a diversion?"

"Yes, my sister and I analyzed the information shared by the Taimanin Intelligence Team regarding last night's demon attack and discovered that Ms. Igawa Asaki's fiancé disappeared shortly after Ms. Igawa Asaki left the Igawa residence."

Alice briefly told Luo Shu about the relevant information she currently had.

"Also, from the Taimanin Intelligence Team's follow-up investigation, my sister and I discovered that Ms. Igawa Asahime's younger sister, Igawa Sakura, who was supposed to be protecting the mansion last night, coincidentally received an urgent transfer order from the Taimanin Headquarters in Aokigahara Forest shortly after Ms. Igawa Asahime led her team to Shinjuku. Since then, Ms. Igawa Asahime's fiancé, Sawaki Kyousuke, has disappeared."

"Do you think Alice is mistaken about the emergency transfer order sent to Igawa Sakura by the Taimanin's Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees headquarters?"

Luo Shu immediately understood that the purpose of the demon attack in Shinjuku last night was to lure away Jinghe Asaki, the captain of the Taimanin Squadron. However, it was too coincidental that Jinghe Sakura received an emergency transfer order to leave the Jinghe residence that night. "Or does Alice think there's something wrong with the top management of the Taimanin's Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees headquarters?"

"Yes, my sister and I agree that some of the higher-ups at the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees headquarters may have been bribed by Nomad."

Alice is the second princess of the Ymir Kingdom of the Light Elf in another world, and the candidate for the next Queen of the Ymir Elf. She has received the most elite cultural education of the elves since she was young, so she naturally understands some political schemes.
