[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 188 - 187: Dark Elements

Chapter 187: Dark Elements

As soon as Qin An arrived and saw She Lou’s situation, he quickly signaled He Yan to let everyone stay outside the training room just like what happened back then. Even Qian Jin and others who arrived too notice the same situation and thus begin letting others out until it was only Qin An, Shen Lou and Su Jinxi inside the room.

"What is happening?!" Su Jinxi gasped when she saw the situation. She couldn’t understand what was entangling the young man right now but she knew that it was something unusual again!

Qin An didn’t have time to explain to her and quickly scanned the situation. His eyes turned sharp and the calm temperament went to a drastic change as he turned into the real identity behind the human trainee.

The expression on Su Jinxi’s face turned solemn as she noticed the drastic change in the young man. She could sharply observe how temperamental he is compared to the usual... or rather this is even who he really is.

This thought made Su Jinxi realize further how grave the situation might be with this young man. Since the Marshal trusts him even with these unknown abilities, then she should do her best to protect him too.

Qin An walks closer to Shen Lou.

"Shen Lou," he calls for the young man to acknowledge his presence. Shen Lou stopped clutching his head for a moment and forced himself to look at him.

Qin An could see his veins on the neck to his forehead throbbing because of the pressure he’s feeling. Shen Lou is obviously having a hard time holding on for himself.

He could even see that some of the dark elements had already entered the young man’s body and it’s clear that his situation is not getting any better. If this will not stop, the dark elements will quickly steal his body and will turn him into a living demon. As for Shen Lou himself, what else could he be but will just be dead?

He will never let that happen.

Qin An quickly moves his fingers to form a magic circle.

In the next second, a huge circle with a strange carved formation appeared under Shen Lou. The magic circle lightens up and a golden chain floats up to and starts entangling the young man.

"Ahhh!!"

Shen Lou started to scream as if the golden chains were burning him and he really felt that it did. The moment that chain envelopes him and touches his skin, he could feel himself getting heated up very badly as if something is burning him alive.

Shen Lou had not experienced this kind of pain and thus he was caught off guard and couldn’t help himself but express the pain that he’s feeling.

Qin An slightly paused his reaction but it only made his face turn stoic. He is determined to not do anything because he knew that this pain was nothing compared to completely being a demon. Shen Lou would rather feel this pain than be dead.

Shen Lou felt like he was not in his right mind. He couldn’t think about anything nor feel other than the excruciating pain from this. The dark elements that constantly sucking his consciousness away and the burning feeling on his skin is making him go crazy.

He just wanted to end this quickly.

As the golden chain continues to entangle the young man, the dark elements that entered his body also seem like the paper that burns out quickly when it touches fire. The spiritual energy and the dark elements are currently fighting with each other inside the young man’s body so Qin An knows that Shen Lou is experiencing the worst now. This was painful for souls or demons in his past life, what about Shen Lou who is an ordinary human?

The young man’s face went red and white due to the extreme enduring and exhaustion that poured on his body and he couldn’t almost hold it anymore.

Fortunately Qin An noticed it and quickly reminded him.

"Shen Lou, get a hold on yourself," he warned with seriousness. "Only by enduring this can you save yourself."

This made the young man pause. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak but couldn’t. He could only gasp for air and force himself to hold on tighter.

"Qin An, can’t we do something else for him?" Su Jinxi could not avoid but commented upon seeing the young man’s suffering.

Unfortunately, Qin An shakes his head lightly. "If I help him with my spiritual energy, that will only ignite the pain deeper."

Spiritual energy compels dark energy, if he’ll do that, it is only like adding fuel to the raging fire. That will only make the pain deeper and Shen Lou might not make it.

Su Jinxi exhales a loud breath. As a soldier, she was not used to not doing anything for someone that needs help in front of her. But she couldn’t do anything.

Su Jinxi thought deeper and remembered something.

"This might happen to other people, right?" she asked.

Qin An glanced at her and nodded quietly.

"But you can’t do this alone," she commented.

"What are you implying?" Qin An asked.

Su Jinxi looked at the young man directly and firmly spoke her thoughts.

"Doctor Cheng had already told me that my situation can help you as a possible taoist," she said.

"That’s true." Qin An look away. "But I also told them that I don’t know how to turn you into a complete one."

Su Jinxi smiles lightly. "Young man, are you underestimating the federation? If the old researchers will know how that would help people with mental pollution, they will dig up all the information regarding this just to save everyone. Lieutenant Ji Wen had already told me that they were working hard to dig out the history and it’s only a matter of time."

"Then you’ll have to wait until they can dig that out." Qin An answered her. "To completely open that ability, it requires a high spiritual energy and aside from that, cases like Shen Lou will happen often. You don’t know how to strengthen yourself with this ability, it will only put you in danger so we cannot take risks."

Su Jinxi wanted to speak again but they heard Shen Lou’s groaning again.

They quickly set their eyes on him and saw the dark elements had started to fade away from the young man’s body. It looks like the fire is starting to burn out.

This made them sigh in relief. Fortunately.

When the remaining dark energy completely dissipates on Shen Lou’s body, the golden chain also slowly lets go and fades. The magic circle’s light also dimmed out until it disappeared under the young man.

When Shn Lou felt his body in control again and he couldn’t feel himself getting burned, he slowly opened his eyes and met Qin An’s.

"It’s okay," Qin An assured him and nodded lightly. "You’re okay."

Those words made him sigh in relief and he could finally feel himself letting go. Extreme exhaustion poured on his body and he has no strength left.

Shen Lou’s vision gets blurry as he let himself fall down.

"!!!"

The two were shocked and Qin An who was near the young man quickly bends down to catch the fainted Shen Lou.

Because the young man was kneeling earlier, Qin An scooped him by subconsciously enveloping the young man in his arms.

By strange coincidence, the door of the training room also opened and He Li entered the room. That was the moment when what caught his eyes was the two young men on the ground— Qin An embracing Shen Lou.

"..."

He Li stilled a bit.

"Marshal!" Su Jinxi greeted him.

Qin An heard her call and turned his head.

He met the man’s eyes and paused for a second before looking away and turning his head to look at Shen Lou on his arms.

Shen Lou completely passed out on his arms and even though there was no dark energy, the frown on his forehead is still there as if even in his sleep, the pain that he felt is present.

Qin An let his one arm envelop the young man to lean on him while his other hand raised and he put it on Shen Lou’s forehead.

In the next second, the gentle spiritual energy floated out from his palm and he poured it lightly and slowly on Shen Lou.

The gentle caress and the soothing energy made the young man’s frown lessen and it seems that the pain is fading away.

Meanwhile, He Li looked at the situation in front of him with a calm face. He seems to be patiently waiting for the young man to finish aiding his friend and didn’t want to disturb them. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Captain Su, what happened?" Ji Wen asked.

Su Jinxi first saluted He Li before she went out with her team leaving the three inside the training room.

He Li remains standing and it’s only after a few seconds that Qin An looks at him again.

"You’re here," the young man said.

He Li didn’t speak and looked at Shen Lou.

But it seems that Qin An has no intention of letting the young man go on his arms and let him lean on him.

"Did something happen?" Qin An asked.

"Yes." He Li responded. "I’ll tell you later. Why don’t we send him to the clinic so he can rest properly?" he suggested but Qin An shakes his head a bit.

"Later."

"... okay."

Thus, He Li could only wait silently on the side quietly.

Qin An puts his attention to Shen Lou back while He Li remains in his position except that he crosses his arms and leans on the wall with slightly narrowed eyes.
