Chen Anxia thought the situation was bad because although the vast sea of wisteria flowers isolated the ghost, it also made it impossible for people to figure out the direction to enter and exit the mountain.
If a player happens to be exploring in the direction of exiting the mountain while exploring outwards, that's fine.
However, once players explore towards the mountains, they will enter a cage where ghosts are imprisoned, and will face countless ghosts inside.
Most importantly, players don't currently have the Nichirin Blade, a weapon capable of slaying demons.
This means that players currently have no way to kill the ghost...
Just as Chen Anxia was pondering, a game notification pop-up suddenly appeared in front of him.
Not only Chen Anxia, but all players who entered Demon Slayer saw the same game prompt pop-up.
The game's pop-up message read, "Dear player, welcome to another world."
Here, as a blessing to you, I offer you a special piece of advice.
Cherish your life in this world, for once your life in this world ends, you will truly die.
Note: Once you enter the game, you cannot exit. If you wish to return, please figure out how to do so yourself!

Chapter 474 World Mission: The Strongest Demon Slayer or the Strongest Demon? (Please Subscribe!)
Upon seeing the game notification that suddenly popped up, Chen Anxia couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Once you enter the game, you can't exit...
In this world, death is true death...
These two points reminded Chen Anxia of "Sword Art Online".
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia brought up his system panel.
Sure enough, no matter how hard Chen Anxia searched, he couldn't find the option to exit the game.
This also means that the content of this game prompt is very likely to be real.
However, the reason why Sword Art Online has this setting is because of the existence of Kayaba Akihiko.
So, what's the reason for this similar setting? Is it being manipulated by the Truth Gate game company behind it, or is there another mastermind behind it all?
Thinking about it, Chen Anxia couldn't help but recall that he had searched for information about the Gate of Truth game company in the No. 4 Truth Realm.
But Chen Anxia couldn't find any useful information.
The only thing Chen Anxia knew was that the information about the Gate of Truth game company had been completely blocked by the alliance's higher-ups, and it was impossible to view information related to the Gate of Truth game company without certain access permissions.
Chen Anxia was also puzzled by this, wondering why the alliance's top leadership would completely block the relevant information.
Even if the technology of holographic virtual games is groundbreaking, all that is needed is to block the relevant technology information. Why is even the most basic information being blocked?
Besides that, there was another thing that concerned Chen Anxia: was the world of "Demon Slayer" a real world or a virtual world?
If this were the real world, Chen Anxia would understand why the alliance's top brass would completely block relevant information.
But if this were the real world, how did the game company behind Gate of Truth manage to allow players to travel through time? And how did they enable players to have system panel functions in the real world?
And who is behind all of this at Gate of Truth Games?
Extraterrestrial civilizations, higher-dimensional civilizations, gods...
These possibilities flashed through Chen Anxia's mind, leaving him puzzled.
At the same time, Chen Anxia was also wondering if his time travel was related to the existence behind it all...
Just as Chen Anxia was pondering this, the players around him also realized what was happening.
"Hey, hey, hey, is this game hint a joke?"
"Hahaha, it must be a joke. Dying in a game means dying in real life? How is that possible!?"
"That's right, this must be a special setting made by the Gate of Truth game company to enhance the realism of the game."
"Seriously, does a game really need to be this realistic? It almost made me believe it was real."
......
Just as the surrounding players were trying to reassure themselves, a discordant voice filled with fear suddenly rang out, "You... really didn't notice? This game really doesn't have an exit option!!"
One word stirred up a huge wave of controversy and directly shattered the players' self-comfort.
After a brief silence, almost all the players present became terrified and panicked.
"Is there really no exit option? Is all of this for real?"
"If you die in a game, will you really die in real life?"
"This is murder, this is blatant murder! I'm going to report Truth Gate Games!"
"I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore! I want to go home! I want to go home!"
"Damn it, this company is a piece of cake! When I get back, I'm going to smash it to pieces!"
"Since it can't connect to the real-world network, there's no way to call the police for help."
"Do we really have to go this far? Do we really have to cut off all our escape routes?"
"Exit, return, quit... why isn't it working? Is the password wrong?"
"There must be a method for regression, but we don't know what it is..."
......
Not only the players present, but also those within the game's built-in thought network and in the world chat were venting and communicating with each other in fear and anxiety.
In this atmosphere, a player suddenly sent out several messages filled with terror.
"Help! A ghost is trying to eat me! A ghost is trying to eat me..."
"Aaaaaah! It hurts! My hand has been eaten away! It hurts so much!!"
"Save me, please save me..."
These alarming messages instantly silenced the previously chaotic and noisy world channel.
But this is only a brief period of calm, the calm before the storm.
The next moment, like a volcanic eruption, players sent messages even more frequently, and the fear and unease in those messages became increasingly intense.
"Are you ok?"
"Are you trying to scare me?"
"Where are you? I'm coming to save you right now!"
"This is supposed to be a game, this damn world..."
"Waaaaah, I'm so scared, so scared..."
"Mommy and Daddy, I want Mommy and Daddy..."
"Could the poster really be dead?"
"Being eaten alive is too terrifying! I don't want to play this game anymore, I want to go home, I want to go home!!"
"Ghosts... there really are ghosts..."
......
Within the thought network, Chen Anxia also witnessed the tragedy unfolding on the world channel.
Chen Anxia knew that the player who sent the message had probably already died in the mouth of the cannibal.
Chen Anxia remained silent in response.
Chen Anxia had no idea what she was thinking at that moment.
But Chen Anxia knew that similar events would inevitably continue to occur in the near future. This was the norm in this world, and the miserable living conditions of humankind.
After a moment of silence, Chen Anxia turned his gaze to the world quest that had been triggered not long ago.
"World Quests: 1. The Strongest Demon Slayer 2. The Strongest Demon (Optional)"
"Mission Requirements: 1. Become the strongest demon hunter in the world. 2. Become the strongest demon in the world (optional)."
"Mission Rewards: Unlock the next time travel, a gift pack (the contents of the gift pack depend on the completion of the mission)."
As Chen Anxia expected, his world mission was indeed related to "Demon Slayer".
Chen Anxia hadn't expected that this world mission would have two options; this was the first time Chen Anxia had encountered such a situation.
Although the world mission doesn't require an immediate choice, and you can wait until you've completed the mission before making a decision, Chen Anxia still made her choice immediately.
Chen Anxia's choice is number 1: to become the strongest demon hunter.
The reason for making this choice is that Chen Anxia cannot accept becoming a cannibalistic ghost.
Even if Chen Anxia could accept becoming a cannibalistic ghost, in terms of the difficulty of the mission alone, Chen Anxia would still choose option 1.
Because if Chen Anxia chooses option 2, it means that Chen Anxia will surpass the progenitor of demons - Muzan Kibutsuji.
The reason why humans become demons is because they accept Muzan Kibutsuji's blood and are controlled by him.
Under such circumstances, how can one surpass Muzan Kibutsuji and become the strongest demon?
Unless Chen Anxia can transform into a demon through other means without relying on Muzan Kibutsuji's blood.
Just like when Muzan Kibutsuji first transformed into a demon.

After making his choice, Chen Anxia turned his attention back to the world channel.
Looking at the helplessness, anger, panic, cries, and farewells of the players in the world chat, Chen Anxia couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Chen Anxia is not a saint, but she is not heartless either.
Therefore, Chen Anxia chose to post the information about the ghost on the world channel.
"I am a beta tester. I don't know how to exit the game, but I know information about the ghosts in this world."
