[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 198 - 197: Resolve

Chapter 197: Resolve

Qin An didn’t notice the man actually.

He thought that the only reasons why the souls from the people who were brought here turned into dark elements was due to the long-term resentment from their deaths. The grief and hatred inside their hearts let the resentment consume their souls and thus they end up this way.

But he was wrong.

When his eyes caught a particular shadow that moved differently from others, he knew something was wrong. That shadow wasn’t even shouting like others and it was darker than others.

Qin An conjures a spiritual energy on his hand and shoots it towards the shadow.

"AAHHH!!" The man shouted in pain. Qin An didn’t stop from attacking him until the dark energy around the shadow dimmed and the appearance of that shadow was revealed.

A middle-age ordinary looking man was staring at him with hatred.

"His name is Gao Tao." He Li’s voice sounded inside the mecha. "He was one of the earliest victims from Admiral Sheng years ago. He was killed but not because he is just an innocent victim." His eyes narrowed dangerously as he read through the man’s information that flashed in front of him.

"A gambler who had millions in debt from Sheng Anzhi’s illegal casino. And it’s not just that, he also abused his family at home, forced his wife in prostitution to make money for him and his children to beg outside for his greed to continue gambling. Due to his inability to pay his debt, he was eventually killed by Sheng Anzhi and was thrown here."

Even committed grave sins when he was still alive, it’s no wonder that after becoming a soul and finding out that consuming other souls using the dark energy, his greed naturally rose and he wanted to have them all.

"How presumptuous." Qin An commented with a low voice and the eyes looking at the man became sharper. As the other shadows from the souls started to dissipate in the air because of the golden light from the magic circle, the man started to scream in panic.

"No! I am not reconciled! I will not leave here!" Hatred filled inside the man’s eyes. "I want to kill Sheng Anzhi! How dare he kill me!"

"Not reconciled?" Qin An’s lips sneer. "You have no right."

Then, he didn’t wait for Gao Tao to say anything nonsense anymore and using his sword, he let it fly straight towards the man and without hesitation, it penetrated Gao Tao directly to his heart.

Black chains also emerged from the magic circle and entangled him and as he felt his soul getting burned fiercely, the man shouted again.

However, it was no use because the black chain had completely dragged him inside the magic circle.

The sound from the other shadows also abruptly stopped and the atmosphere around suddenly felt silent. The sky above still remains dark but the storm that was brewing was momentarily slowed down and the cold wind also faintly weakened.

Everyone thought that it was over and He Li wanted to ask the young man but his eyes widened slightly when the young man started coughing.

"!!!"

Even if it was just a light cough and there was no blood unlike earlier, his action still made his heart skip a beat.

"Qin An!" He couldn’t help but call for the young man’s name.

Qin An paused and turned his eyes to him silently.

"... are you okay?" He asked without noticing the worry in his voice.

"I’m fine," the young man answered.

He Li sighs in relief. "Is it done? We can go back now—"

"No." Qin An exhales a breath and looks down at the sea below him. "The dark energy from Gao Tao had influenced this place too deeply after staying here for such a long time. Even if they are no longer here, the trace of its energy still lingers. I have to clean it up fast so it won’t attract any malicious souls again."

"Okay." He Li nodded. "Do what you need to do, but make sure to rest after this."

This time, the young man didn’t argue about resting anymore and nodded slightly at him. As Qin An turned his head again down below, he sighs inside him.

Cleaning this place is actually not that easy considering his body’s condition. He may develop a fever and at worst lose consciousness again after releasing spiritual energy and base from everyone’s reaction, he’s sure that when that happens, they’ll overreact again.

Especially He Li.

Don’t think that he didn’t notice the man’s strange gaze on him ever since he woke up. He was also particularly talkative about his health today and even asked him to rest, which was very contrasting to his actions when he told him to go to a military base and asked to help.

He just couldn’t understand what’s going on in his mind. As his mother said, He Li himself couldn’t even care about his own health, so why fuss about his?

Qin An didn’t know but he just threw those thoughts at the back of his mind and concentrated again to the present.

Might as well just end this case.

The huge magic circle disappears and Qin An’s fingers start another formation again. This time, the violent wind and the looming dark cloud above gradually dissipates as if what happened was just an illusion.

Qin An’s eyes turned gold and the string of golden runes appeared. It circled around the young man and looked particularly solemn and majestic.

Looking at the new mystery, everyone didn’t know but they could feel a sense of relaxation inside them. Unlike the strong coercion from the magic circle, this power seems to dilute the anxiety inside them.

And it ever disappoints, because in the next moment the string of golden runes flew around not just to the sea but also above them. It lightens up and it suddenly shatters, forming numerous golden petals and it starts to fall down to them.

If it was normal, the strange power that descends towards them would surely make them feel alert and cautious but even when the golden petals fall straight towards them, there is no fear or anxiety that it will attack them.

Instead, when it finally landed on their body, they could feel themselves getting enveloped by a mysterious energy.

It was totally not the burning sensation of pain that the dark elements felt but a gentle and soothing caress them.

"!!!" They were completely stunned and baffled.

This was the first time that they felt the healing power of the spiritual energy that Ji Wen and others talked about when he said Qin An can cure He Li using his powers. They haven’t felt it and have only remained curious about this ability.

And they never expected that they could actually experience this thing.
