Several hours later, Mu You's consciousness returned from the Karma Lines.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw he was indeed still in the same island cave as before.
Having been busy all day, it was already approaching midnight. Mu You wasted no time, immediately setting up a Teleportation Array right there and teleporting back to the pet shop.
"Hmm? Mu You, you're finally back!"
In the dark basement, as soon as Mu You appeared, he heard Cola's voice.
Cola had been waiting at the basement door and the moment Mu You appeared, it ran over with its tail held high, meowing nonstop.
"Where is everyone else?"
Mu You patted its head and walked out of the basement, only to find the shop was also pitch-black and silent, with not a soul in sight.
