Over the next half an hour, I gave them an account of what had happened in the dungeon.
Or rather, I gave them an account of the story that I had come up with for what happened in the dungeon.
The guards just knitted their brows as they listened to my story and by the end of it, they just looked at me in silence.
During this time, the katsudon had completely gone cold, but no one paid any attention to it.
When I was done with my story though, I felt that I was a bit hungry again since it was already getting late, so I turned my attention to it. However, when I tried reaching for it, the guard that had sat down in front of me reached out to take it away from me.
I looked at the guard and saw that he was looking at me with narrowed eyes, as if he was trying to size me up.
We just sat there in silence for a bit before this guard suddenly stood up and said, "Wait here. We'll go confirm a few things before deciding what to do with you."
Without even giving me a chance to say anything, this guard and the other two guards who had been in the room suddenly turned around and walked out. I was left all alone in the room and even the katsudon had been taken away.
So the only thing that I could do was wait.
However, I wasn't worried at all since I had already planned for everything.
I had made sure that everything they could check on had already been covered. They wouldn't be able to find a single thing wrong with my story.
Well…it was possible that they might find out that Sasha was under my control…
That was the one and only thing that I was worried about, but there was nothing else I could do about this. If I didn't control her, she would reveal everything…so all I could do was hope that she would remain under my control and it wasn't discovered.
For now, all I could do was sit here and wait in silence.
After they left the room, one of the two guards beside the guard captain who came to interview Lin Fan asked, "Sir, do you believe his story?"
The guard captain had his brows knitted the whole time as they walked out, so they thought that he had noticed that something was off.
But the guard captain just said, "We'll know when we double check with the girl's story. Also, the group that was sent into the dungeon should be reporting back soon."
The guards couldn't help revealing strange looks when they heard this because they could hear that something was off in the guard captain's voice.
The guard captain noticed the way that they were looking at him, so he said, "There's something off about the way that he said it. It didn't seem like he was lying, but it also didn't seem like he was telling the truth…"
He let his voice trail off as he said this.
Then he said, "Come, let's go see what the other witness has to say."
…
An hour later, the guards finally came back to my room.
The two guards moved to the side to stand on guard while the one in the middle sat down again.
When he looked at me, it was clear that his expression was different.
It was as if there was more trust in his eyes now and even a bit of admiration.
I revealed a confused and surprised look when I saw this.
The guard reached out and patted me on the shoulder before saying, "We've already checked everything and you're free to go. You've done a very good job saving her and escaping from the dungeon."
The confused and surprised look on my face became even stronger, but the guards didn't mind.
The guard waved for me to stand up and I was led out to the front of this guard station.
There I found that Sasha was waiting for me, but she had been given new clothes.
When she saw me, she came over without hesitation and hugged me.
The moment that they saw this, the other guards that were standing around in this place all narrowed their eyes to look at me.
I could feel the sting that was coming from their gazes, but I ignored it all.
I just took advantage of this and moved closer to Sasha to say, "Come find me tomorrow at the address I told you. Don't attract any suspicion and just follow your normal routine until you can come and see me."
After that, I moved away from her.
When I did, I heard a soft voice say, "Yes, master."
At the same time, there was a blush that appeared on her face after I moved away.
When the guards around us saw this, they all couldn't help glaring at me again, but I ignored all of these glares and just turned to walk out.
Sasha was about to follow behind me, but then she stopped and stood there as she watched me leave.
When the guards saw this, they glared at me even harder until I left the guard station.
There were a few of them that had wanted to go up to Sasha to comfort her, but she left before any of them could do a thing.
All that was left was a sad feeling in the guards as they watched her leave.
It seemed that the heroes who saved beauties would always get the girls and they would be lonely dogs forever…
After we left, the guard captain picked up the report on the table and said, "Who would have thought that such an event would have happened today?"
One of the guards beside him said, "It's not that rare, but it sure isn't a good sign."
The guard captain gave a nod before saying, "It's just another report for the system."
