At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"Muyang".

At the gate of the Demon Slayer Bureau, Yuan Yuan called out to Mu Yang.

Can I ask you a question?

"question?"

Mu Yang glanced at her.

No, you're Lei Sai, why are you asking me questions?

Tell me about it.

"When Cao Ding rushed at you just now, did you even consider holding back?" Yuan Yuan asked, looking at him.

"Hold your hands?"

Mu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Reason?"

"I think Cao Ding is different from his brother Cao Xiu. He is a reasonable person and has a kind heart. Letting him manage the canal gang might be good for the gang members," Yuan Yuan said after thinking for a moment.

"Miss Yuan."

Under the moonlight, Mu Yang stopped and stared directly into Yuan Yuan's eyes with his calm and unwavering gaze.

For some reason, Yuan Yuan felt inexplicably guilty when faced with those clear, black and white eyes.

It's like when you were a child and did something wrong, and you tried to lie to cover it up, but your father saw right through you.

She instinctively looked away, her voice light and airy: "W-what's wrong?"

Do you think I'm kind?

Mu Yang didn't notice her subtle gesture of avoiding eye contact, and simply asked to himself.

Yuan Yuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Mu Yang to ask such a question.

She frowned and began to recall.

When the two first met in Guaizi Alley, Mu Yang was only at the fourth level of Qi Condensation Realm, but he dared to risk his life to face the ghosts.

Later, she heard from Lei Jiaojiao that Mu Yang was obsessed with killing demons to an extent that was almost incomprehensible to ordinary people.

While others need to rest for a long time after killing demons, Mu Yang wishes he could kill demons even during his rest time.

Upon learning that the Grand Canal Gang was to be eradicated, Mu Yang agreed without hesitation.

They would even risk going into the water to chase after Cao Xiu.

The killing of Cao Xiu could perhaps be explained by professional dedication, but Yuan Yuan couldn't think of any other explanation for her frantic killing of demons, other than a sense of righteousness and a desire to rid the people of a scourge.

For an ordinary person, there isn't enough time to practice martial arts, let alone care about the life or death of a demon.

Anyway, it won't affect these high-level martial artists.

All of this demonstrates that Mu Yang was truly a heroic figure with a heart for the world and a chivalrous spirit.

If such people are not kind, then who is?

With this in mind, Yuan Yuan spoke, her voice earnest: "Kindness!"

"Is that so...?"

Mu Yang remained noncommittal, simply replying, "Those who die by my hand may have a different perspective."

Yuan Yuan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Mu Yang took a step and instantly appeared on Xiao Hei's back.

With a slightly bewildered look in Yuan Yuan's eyes, Mu Yang spurred his horse and rode away.

"???"

..................

The next day, early in the morning.

Mu Yang rode Xiao Hei to the Demon Slayer Division.

Today is Qin Yuan's team's day off. Two consecutive nights of clearing missions have left them physically and mentally exhausted.

But Mu Yang felt no fatigue at all. On the contrary, whenever he thought of the monsters marked on the map, he was full of energy and wished he could teleport to the monsters immediately.

Of course, with the idea of ​​getting two birds with one stone, Mu Yang naturally planned to take on a few missions first.

The task assignment and settlement are both handled by the Internal Affairs Department.

So after storing Xiao Hei in the stable, Mu Yang went straight to the front office.

The process of accepting a quest is very simple. Take the token, go to a large, empty bronze mirror, take out the token, insert it, and you can browse the quests that have not yet been accepted.

However, after selection, you need to go to the front desk staff for a second registration to confirm the team members and other information.

Perhaps because of a major operation last night, there were only a few captains who came to the front hall to receive their missions this morning.

Mu Yang walked to one of the empty bronze mirrors, took out his token, infused it with his true energy, and inserted it into the mirror in one smooth motion.

"Pop~~"

As a sound like ripples on water arose, a line of text appeared on the mirror.

Welcome, First-Class Demon-Hunting Captain Mu Yang! Please accept a mission suitable for your abilities!

As the slogan-like text disappeared, a large expanse of dense text appeared in Mu Yang's eyes.

............

Mu Yang glanced at it briefly.

The Demon Slayer Division is centered on Qinghe County City and divides the surrounding area into eight sections according to their orientation.

The so-called task number refers to one of these eight areas, plus a specific number.

The task suggestions are meant to help those who accept the tasks to be aware of their own limitations.

Otherwise, it would be one thing if the mission failed, but the real fear is that people might also be lost.

All of this information was easy to understand. The only thing that puzzled Mu Yang was that the tasks here were all only at the upper level of the Xuan rank or below.

I didn't see a single prefecture-level city.

Could it be that the Demon Slayer Division hasn't discovered any fifth-tier demons yet?

Mu Yang was somewhat puzzled. He took the token out of the bronze mirror and walked towards one of the clerks who was organizing the files.

The disturbed clerk frowned, looked up, and was about to say something when he saw the words "First Class" engraved on the bronze token in his hand.

His brows instantly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
