I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once I saw the bubbles disappear from the surface of the water, I didn't hang around this place any longer.

I knew that the most important thing now was to get out of here as soon as possible.

The longer that I stayed here and didn't appear on any public cameras, the harder it would be for me to sell my story.

So I rushed out from under that bridge as soon as possible and quickly returned home.

I knew that for the first day, the most important thing now was to stay home to portray the image of a victim who had been bullied.

But at the same time, that would only work for a single day.

After all, I had another identity which was as a poor part time worker who has not awakened yet. Though I had awakened now, I still couldn't change the poor part since I was only a F Rank Awakener.

Still, that meant that I had to keep up the role and do things that a F Rank Awakener would do.

Tomorrow, I will be heading into a dungeon to earn some money.

This was without a doubt a very dangerous decision, but for some reason…I didn't feel nervous.

I even felt a bit excited that I would have a chance to test out my new abilities as the Demon King of Lust.

…

At the police station.

"Yue! I have a case for you!"

Ling Yue who had just sat down and closed her eyes for a minute suddenly opened them again to see that it was her captain who was calling for her.

So even if she was tired, she knew that she had no choice but to stand up and follow the captain into his office.

When she arrived, she found that another detective was already sitting in the office.

She recognized him since he was the detective that he was closest to in this precinct, Xia Tian. But even before working with him as detectives, they had grown up as childhood friends who had even entered the police academy together.

Seeing him there, she gave him a secret look asking him what this was about.

Xia Tian just gave her a look showing that he didn't know either.

So she had no choice but to sit down in front of the captain.

Once they were both seated, the captain put a folder on the table in front of them and said, "I need you two to take care of this case for me."

The two of them looked at each other with confused looks before picking up the folder together and taking a look at the papers inside. As they read them, they couldn't help knitting their brows more and more.

After a while, they finally said, "Captain, this case is…"

They didn't finish, but it was clear what they were implying with this.

The captain shook his head and gave a sigh before saying, "My hands are tied here as well. The relatives of one of the victims is one of the managers from the Awakeners Association and they pulled some favours from their connections to force us to investigate this matter."

Both of the detectives knitted their brows when they heard this.

After all, it was clear that this was nothing more than a case of kids running away for some fun…and yet they were involving the police.

It hadn't even been 24 hours since the kids had disappeared, so it couldn't even be considered a proper case yet.

Yet their captain was forcing them to investigate this instead of using their time to investigate something more important.

As police detectives, they had their own pride and their sense of justice, so doing something like this went against both of those things.

But since it was an order from the captain, they had no choice…

So the two of them took the folder and headed off to take a look at this case.

Once they were back at their desks, they opened up the folder and started going through this case in detail.

After a few minutes, Xia Tian said, "Since the family members said that they disappeared this afternoon after going to the awakener center, how about we start from there. Since the family member has connections to the Awakener Association, they should be able to get us the footage from the awakener center."

Ling Yue looked at the case in front of her with narrowed eyes for a bit before giving a nod of agreement.

An hour later, they had received the footage that they needed from the awakener center and they started going through it.

"Wait, stop it there!" Ling Yue suddenly said, causing Xia Tian to jump slightly before he pressed the pause button.

She pointed at a spot on the screen and said, "Look there, we can see them leaving the awakener center and it seems that they've brought someone with them. But it looks like…"

The more that they looked at this screen, the more that they knitted their brows.

As detectives, they noticed things that others didn't, so they were able to see how Wang Bing was holding onto Lin Fan in this footage.

It was clear…that they were bullying Lin Fan.

After figuring this out, Ling Yue knitted her brows deeply before saying, "I can't believe that we have to be assigned this kind of case. These kids are the worst kinds of people that will become even worse in the future because they're spoiled by their parents."

Xia Tian also agreed with this, but this was an order that came from the top…so they didn't have a choice in this matter.

After giving a sigh, Xia Tian said, "The rest of it is public footage, so let's see where they are going."

With a few taps of the keys of his computer, he started pulling up several different videos from several different perspectives. The one thing that all of these videos had in common was that they had Wang Bing's group on them.

They continued through the streets until they finally reached the bridge, but that was where the footage ended.

Ling Yue looked at Xia Tian with a confused look and asked, "Don't you have any other footage?"

Xia Tian shook his head and said, "That bridge is a dead spot, there's no footage from under there."

Ling Yue deeply knitted her brows since she knew what this meant…

But then she said with a sigh, "Fast forward the footage and see if we can find when they left. Perhaps we can keep tracking them from that."

Xia Tian nodded and soon the video on the screen started speeding forward.

In the end, they were only able to see Lin Fan leaving the place, but they were never able to find Wang Bing's group leaving.

Ling Yue said with a frown, "Only the bully victim is seen leaving, but their group never left the area…"

Xia Tian nodded before saying, "It seems like we need to go and investigate the area."

Ling Yue had a hesitant look at first, but she still nodded in agreement in the end.

But before either of them could leave, there was someone that suddenly ran into the room that they were using.
