The rapid intensification of the tremors caused a sudden increase in the number of falling rocks overhead.
Without wasting any more time, the two quickly set up teleportation arrays and teleported back to Dawn City.
At this time, Dawn City was quiet, with only a Shadow Wolf patrolling near the City Lord’s Castle’s door, bow and arrow in hand.
"Did any outsiders come in?" Mu You asked her.
After the Octopus King was killed and all the players were wiped out, Dawn City had become a ghost town. An attack during this time could be troublesome.
The Shadow Wolf shook her head. It had only been two hours since they left. Even if there were people coveting Dawn City nearby, they wouldn’t be able to react that fast.
Nonetheless, to be safe, Mu You instantly allowed two million players from the city application to come in and fill in the gap in the population.
A massive swarm of players suddenly appeared in Dawn City, running around and instantly bringing a lot of life to the previously dead quiet city.
A lot of enthusiastic players even teleported to the entrance of the City Lord’s Castle, trying to interact with Mu You. The entrance quickly turned into a bustling marketplace, filled with the endless noise of inquiries, giving Mu You quite a headache.
Soon after, Mu You and Lin Xue didn’t hang around for long. They had come through a space fissure that was only open for about seven hours, and four of those hours had already passed.
If they don’t go back before the fissure closes, they would be stuck in the Star Spirit World. Coming through the fissure means there would be no reduction in lifespan, but after that, they would be considered inhabitants of the Star Spirit World, and going back would be difficult. Going back through the door on the Earth side would, instead, reduce lifespan.
The only solution was to wait for half a year until the space fissure opens again, then they could return to Earth without any side effects.
But that wasn’t an option. Their home and roots were on Earth. They couldn’t just disappear for half a year.
However, they could take advantage of this opportunity to move some creatures from Earth.
Such as the Two Headed Dragon and Little Spider.
Both pets needed regular battles to level up. Even though there was Evolution Light on Earth, it would be harder for these high growth pets to further evolve. Staying on Earth would actually slow down their progress. It would be better to transfer them to the Star Spirit World, where they could level up while helping him fight monsters. In addition, Little Ya’s Evolution Light could also be used in the game.
The two quickly returned to the fissure, transferred the pets, and then returned to Tokyo.
Before leaving, Mu You sealed the well hiding the space fissure. He covered the top with a stone slab. This thing would not open again until six months later, and after the Undead were wiped out, only the two of them should be aware of this place. He had no plans to information for now—it might come in handy in the future.
Upon returning to Tokyo, it was almost dawn.
Lin Xue transported the little girl back to their home country first, while Mu You had to go back and meet up with the members of the Exchange Group.
He took out his satellite phone from his spatial inventory. Upon booting it up, he saw several unread messages, all from the Blood Emperor and others.
He had disappeared for about four to five hours and did not participate in any of the activities the previous night. At this moment, the group was frantically searching for him.
Mu You quickly replied to them, explaining the events of last night. He said that after the outbreak last night, he found a rather weak Shadow Ghost in the Aoki District. Since the phone signal was blocked, he had to track it by himself and finally managed to eliminate it after some effort.
The Shadow Ghost he was referring to was, of course, the little girl from last night. The little girl had killed someone before leaving, and a quick investigation would reveal that something was amiss hence corroborating his statement.
As their mission was, for the most part, hugely successful, the Blood Emperor and Director Wang did not question him further. They only reprimanded him a bit for acting alone and then dropped the subject.
After that, Mu You rushed back to the guesthouse to meet up with the others. They still had some transition matters to discuss with the Japanese side.
The massive outbreak of Shadow Ghosts in Tokyo last night caused significant losses. However, most of the losses were economic, and there were not too many casualties because of the early warning.
The movement patterns of the average Shadow Ghosts were simple. After the initial chaos, the private experts in Japan were forced to participate in the fight, gradually suppressing the Shadow Ghosts one by one.
However, despite everything, the incident still caused a huge stir in Japan. After the truth gradually came to light on the internet post-incident, a public outcry ensued with continuous criticism and cursing, causing the Defense Society to be overwhelmed.
As for Mu You’s group, they couldn’t do much about that. After quickly completing the transition procedures, the Exchange Group boarded the plane back to their home country.
