I Became the Demon King of Lust

As soon as his voice fell, everyone turned to look at me.

That was right, it had escaped all of their minds since they had been so shocked by this report that they didn't think about this, but…how did they manage to come back from the monster town?

If they were the monster ruler, they wouldn't have allowed them to leave that easily.

So how did they get permission to leave that place?

I had already expected this, but I never thought that it would come this quickly. I thought that it would take some time before they asked this since they would take their time gathering their thoughts after that shocking news.

Still, that didn't mean that I didn't have an answer.

"They let us go because of our construction ideas. Those ideas allowed us to climb the ranks and be trusted by the leader, which gave us the ability to leave in the end."

As they heard this, the others of my group couldn't help revealing strange looks.

While this wasn't a complete lie, there was still something that I wasn't saying.

Something that I seemed to be avoiding…

They clearly were concerned about this, but it was their feelings for me that kept them from saying anything.

Tie Gang narrowed his eyes to look at me after he heard this.

For the longest time, he didn't say anything as if he was trying to see if he could find anything wrong with this.

But in the end, he gave a slow nod and said, "Alright, that makes sense."

He turned to the rest and said, "Now, what do we do about this?"

As soon as he said this, everyone revealed grim looks on their faces.

Not a single one of them had an idea of what to do since they had no idea of how to deal with this strange and unknown situation. This was the first time that any of them had encountered this, so of course they didn't know how to handle it.

Tie Gang naturally knew this as well, but there was a reason why he asked this.

It was to get them to start thinking.

While they didn't have any ideas of how to deal with this now, wallowing in the despair of the situation was not something that they could do. They couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so they had to start finding a way to solve this.

So Tie Gang was doing this to motivate them.

He could see that there were some traces of thought on the faces around him, which was good enough for now.

As long as they didn't completely give up, he could work with this.

Still, this was something that would take some time, so he couldn't expect any results right now.

After seeing that no one spoke, Tie Gang said, "Alright, let's take some time to think about this and convene later. I hope that everyone will think hard about how we will get through this."

There were a few sighs of relief that filled this tent when they heard this, but there were more people that were willing to think about this. It didn't seem like they were prepared to give up yet.

After being dismissed, I was about to leave with my group.

But before we could, Tie Gang stopped us.

"Come with me, you need to be checked out." He suddenly said as he walked over.

We were surprised to hear this, but we did understand what he meant.

And since we understood, the others in my group couldn't help looking at me with a strange look.

They had been there when I had spoken to the mummy leader, so they had heard about the same dark energy that I shared with him.

That was the part that I had left out in the report that I had made.

Now that we were going to be checked out, they couldn't help worrying that something would be found.

Tie Gang saw the looks on our faces and said, "It's for your own good. We have no idea what you've experienced, so it's best if we check your bodies to make sure that you're alright."

There was a tone in his voice that made it seem like this wasn't an optional check up.

It was clear that there was another reason why he wanted us to get this check up.

He wanted to make sure that we weren't under any kind of control or that we didn't accidentally bring back some kind of strange virus or anything of the sort.

Before he made sure of that, he naturally couldn't let us wander around the camp.

So even if he had to use force, he would bring us to that check up.

I gave a nod in the end before saying, "Alright, let's go."

Tie Gang gave a nod too before leading the way out of the tent.

He brought us to another tent that was filled with beds and medicine, which was clearly the medical tent.

The two in white coats who had been sitting there immediately came over when they saw us.

These two looked at us for a bit before turning to Tie Gang to ask, "Are they the ones?"

Tie Gang gave a nod before saying, "Can you check them right now?"

The two of them nodded before turning back to us with smiles.

They waved their hands for us to follow them before assigning each of us a bed.

Then they picked up something that seemed like a metal scanner, but it seemed different from a normal metal scanner.

They went from our beds one by one, scanning us with this strange thing. Experience more on m v|l e'm,p y r

After each person was scanned, there was a piece of paper that was printed out from a machine on the side.

They went to check the piece of paper for each person and it seemed like there were no problems.

This kept going until the very last person…me.

I was the last one that they were scanning.
