True Mode

There are many methods, but most of the conditions, as a Demon Sealer, I don't meet them.

"There must be other factors I haven't noticed... I need to observe carefully."

Mu Ye returned to the main gate of the Shen Mansion and observed for a while.

"Wait, these people all seem to be wearing mourning clothes." Mu Ye's eyes lit up.

This situation suggests someone has died?

"The tutorial level seems to be called... The Widow of Taiping City..."

"It seems I need to inquire about other news regarding the Shen Mansion..."

With this thought, Mu Ye's heart stirred, and he directly went to the Yuelai Inn. He ordered a pot of tea, drank it, and listened.

As expected, soon, whispers could be heard all around.

"Madam Shen of the Shen Mansion is truly pitiful. Just a few months after their wedding, Hero Shen died."

"Isn't that right? I heard that on the day of their wedding, Hero Shen was invited to Chishui Village to eliminate demons, but no one expected him to die. Those demons are truly powerful."

"What a shame for Madam Shen's beauty, like a heavenly flower and a national face. Now she's a widow... With the vast Shen Family business, who knows how long it can last in Taiping City?"

Rustling discussions could be heard.

Mu Ye suddenly understood.

"I've got it..."

Mu Ye controlled his character to get up and head to the Shen Mansion again. This time, the options had changed.

[1, Please inform Madam Shen that I am a Demon Sealer who fought alongside Hero Shen in Chishui Village. I passed through Taiping City and have come to pay my respects.]

After selecting this option, the Steward indeed looked at him with surprise and apprehension, and immediately sent someone to inform Madam Shen.

A moment later, a House Guard hurried out and whispered a few words into the Steward's ear.

The Steward looked the House Guard up and down and said:

"I see. Please come in!"

After entering the Shen Mansion, they first went to the front hall to pay respects. Upon arriving at the front hall, Mu Ye also saw the appearance of Hero Shen. Although it was a black and white portrait drawn with ink, judging from his features, he was a righteous and chivalrous person. In the center was a coffin.

On both sides were the family members of the Shen Mansion, and there didn't seem to be many.

However, there were quite a few people coming to pay their respects. It seemed the Shen family was a prominent family in Taiping City.

As for the Madam Shen, who was as beautiful as a celestial being, Mu Ye did not see her.

After lighting incense and paying respects, he was arranged to wait in a side room for the banquet to begin.

At this moment, information reappeared.

[A demon is nearby. Once it is dealt with, the mission will be completed, and the tutorial stage will end.]

Seeing the prompt, Mu Ye immediately used his Mind Eye, and a pink aura slowly appeared.

However, the next moment.

A clamor suddenly erupted from outside.

Roars, screams, and curses rose and fell, accompanied by the grating sound of clashing metal. Without thinking, he knew something must have happened.

Controlling his character, he hurried out of the room, only to find the house guards outside had bloodshot eyes. Wielding clubs and weapons, they charged towards him as if they had gone mad.

"These house guards seem to have lost their minds." Mu Ye glanced at them, judging that it was likely the work of a demon.

He figured the demon lurking in Shen Mansion must have sensed something.

Only a little maid in a green dress, still rational, ran over and sobbed, "Young Master Mu, quickly, leave! Leave Shen Mansion!"

As soon as the little maid finished speaking, she collapsed on the ground and stopped breathing.

Mu Ye froze, and soon the following options appeared:

[1. A mere demon, what is there to fear?]

[2. My life is more important.]

This was a no-brainer, of course. He had to fight, not run!

However, as soon as he charged out, the house guards came wave after wave. Soon, the Demon Sealer was brutally killed by the clubs of numerous house guards...

[Dead]

"But, I feel like I could have won..." Mu Ye mused.

These house guards were not as strong as the disciples from the martial arts schools, and they were also insane.

Mu Ye memorized the attack patterns and trajectories of these house guards. He reloaded his save and tried again. After adapting a few times, he drew the saber from his waist. Without a single thread of his clothes torn, he easily dealt with dozens of house guards.

"Is that all?" Mu Ye chuckled triumphantly.

Of course, this was thanks to the Demon Sealer character.

As a Demon Sealer, I still possess some rudimentary martial arts skills.

Although, in the official introduction, they are only proficient in dealing with demons.

But in the hands of players, even if they only know basic attacks, with the buffs from their hands and brain, they can forcefully turn it into a Souls-like game.

Of course, it's a different story for those Martial Hall Disciples who know Secret Weapons.

The Secret Weapons those disciples unleash are particularly powerful, and their offensive intelligence seems higher, not at all as rigid as these House Guards.

After dealing with these mentally deranged House Guards, I returned to the front hall and saw a demon resembling a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, about half a person's height.

[Man-Eating Demon Fox has appeared!]

The information displayed.

This demon fox bared its fangs, looking extremely ferocious, with some severed limbs in its mouth. It chewed while letting out chattering laughter, appearing incredibly terrifying.

Looking at the Demon Sealer, the demon fox seemed to have anticipated this and immediately pounced, spitting out a stream of scarlet blood qi that permeated the air.

[You have been afflicted by Fox Nightmare Qi!]

But the Demon Sealer's power was immediately evident.

Seemingly having a special attack against demons, almost the moment it appeared, the Demon Sealer first slashed its own palm, then drew a grotesque face with the blood on its face. Afterward, its entire body, as if a floodgate had opened, erupted with circuit-like crimson energy flow.

[You have entered the 'Demon Subduing Body' state.]

After entering this state, the Demon Sealer's attacks were fiery. Mu Ye controlled the character, hacking and slashing with great satisfaction, finishing off the Man-Eating Demon Fox in a few blows.

Unfortunately, after the Man-Eating Demon Fox died, the Demon Sealer's weapon also shattered, and the character itself was impaled by the Man-Eating Demon Fox, likely not far from death.

[You have slain the Man-Eating Demon Fox, tutorial cleared.]

[Clearance Degree: 50%]

[Rating: D+.]

[Number of people saved in Shen Mansion: Zero.]

[Achievement 'Legacy of Wei Wu': Not achieved.]

[Reward: 50 Paradise Coin.]

[True Mode unlocked, allowing players to synchronize with their characters.]

"That was pretty fun..."

The screen gradually darkened, and Mu Ye exited the game.

It's only been an hour or two, but this game is quite addictive. There's still so much content to explore that I haven't tried yet.

This kind of clear, just involves defeating the boss.

That Madam Shen, who was supposed to be the epitome of beauty, I didn't even see her. She was probably killed by that Man-Eating Demon Fox. What a shame.

"This is quite addictive, I want to play again..." Mu Ye looked at the unachieved achievements and ratings, not very satisfied.

"Wait, what is True Mode?"

After Mu Ye returned to the game screen, he found a True Mode next to the tutorial level.

Upon clicking it, the entire screen changed instantly.

[True Mode: In this mode, rewards are greatly increased. The chosen character will initially synchronize with the player's information and share abilities. This mode does not allow mid-game saving or loading. After 100% completion, the tutorial level will be closed.]

Seeing this, Mu Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Share player abilities?

In this mode, Mu Ye slowly selected and clicked on the Demon Sealer.

The Demon Sealer's abilities had a subtle change.

[Golden Blade Art: A mysterious technique that can imbue weapons with extremely powerful might.]

"?"

Mu Ye jumped out of bed, his eyes shining, "Isn't this a spell I know?"

"This is interesting!"
