[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 190 - 189: The Souls

Chapter 189: The Souls

Such familiar words made him raise his brow. Was this what Su Jinxi asked him too?

"Mentor Su had already explained the situation to me and they are working now to find the exact information. If they can really find a way to strengthen this ability and help everyone, can you help me?"

Qin An didn’t answer him directly but thought that this era really thought about the wellness of everyone.

It’s not just that Qin An hadn’t met a good Taoist in the past. There are many Taoists masters who are dedicated to their work and helped them, but he encountered people who are full of greed. They took advantage of the special gift that was bestowed to them and fooled many ordinary people for their selfishness.

It is indeed rare that they only want to help everyone given that there are only a few who have this ability now.

Qin An was silent for a moment before he faced the young man and nodded.

When night came after Qin An rested for a bit, he finally moved.

"Can I come?" Shen Lou asked but he shook his head.

"The dark elements might attack you. Just wait for me here." And he looked at He Li and others too to signal them the same message for them.

"Will that be really alright?" Ji Wen couldn’t help but feel worried and he just nodded. Wearing protective clothing and a technology to let him breathe under the sea longer, Qin An no longer wasted time and went to the cliff. He stared at the ocean below for a seconds before he finally jumped and dived under the sea.

Immediately after he swam deeper after a few moves, he could already see the dark smoke-like elements coming towards him.

Qin An’s eyes turned sharp and he summoned the ancient sword in his hand.

The dark elements went closer until it actually slowly turned to the gradual shape of a person like a shadow.

This scene was repeated until a bunch of shadow-like persons appeared in front of him with the smoke-like elements around them.

These were the evil souls.

"H-Help me..."

A hoarse voice that sounded like an old woman rang.

"P-Please help me!"

A voice with a hint of pleading also resounded from a young woman.

"Help us!" These words were repeated by different sounds. Qin An could feel the deep longing on their voices as if they had waited for too long to be free.

The sound of pleading with a hint of crying and suffering echoes under the sea but Qin An’s expression remained calm.

Instead of feeling pity, he became alert when he could feel the voice gradually drew closer to him.

It was as if as long as he wouldn’t respond and agree to their pleas, their voices would slowly drown him until he’d say yes.

But who is he?

Qin An remained unchanged even after a few seconds. The shadows noticed his indifference and he could see how the situation abruptly changed.

"Why?! Why won’t you help us?!" The voice of the old woman changed into full of hatred and resentment.

"Are you here to see us suffering?! Are you part of those people?!" A young woman shouted with deep loathing and disgust.

"It must be! You must be one of them!" A man with a rough voice screamed with craziness in his voice.

"Since you are just like them, then you must die! It’s you who should be here! It must be all of you!" The crazy shouts from the souls who were stuck under the sea for a long time no longer remained inside their heads.

The resentment had already consumed them with no possibility of going back. Right now, it was just their deep obsession about their deaths that remains inside their mind.

"I will kill you!" A man screamed and the figure of a shadow went flash towards him.

But before it could come close, Qin An already raised his sword and slashed it towards the man. Because the ancient sword is a sacred weapon that’s covered with high spiritual energy, when it touches the man, it naturally compels and the man instantly feels the burning sensation inside him.

"AHHH!!!" The man screamed in pain as he could feel himself getting burned by a raging fire.

"Kill him!" The other souls hated him even more and started attacking him.

They might be more powerful than ordinary souls with resentment but who are they in front of a grim reaper?

Qin An was fast enough to counterattack. He didn’t even change his expression when he heard the screams from young souls such as the children because he knew that they could no longer be saved. They are now the evil souls that will have no mercy to anybody under the disguise of the soul that they consumed to deceive others.

The situation was clearly under his control as he dispelled the souls easily.

It was not until the souls finally gradually dimmed as if they were about to disappear that Qin An stopped attacking them.

"I-I just want to go home!" A young voice from a teenager sounded.

"I want to see Mom and Dad!"

"I still want to fulfill my dreams!"

"I haven’t fulfilled my promise to marry her!"

"I didn’t do anything wrong to them! Why me?!"

"Why did they kill me?! Why did I have to suffer?!"

"My wife and Xiaopang didn’t do anything to this world! Why?! Why them?!"

Qin An paused.

The words that they uttered seems to reflect the words that Zhao Xiaopang shouted before he was sent away.

’If not for their coldness and selfishness, I wouldn’t die! Why?! I didn’t even do anything to them but they killed me!’

’Qin An, when you decided to accept this job again, what was inside your heart? Did you accept those with the thought of having no choice, or did you do it to help this world? If it’s the latter, why did fate give you a chance to become a human when you’re incapable of feeling as one?’

The questions that he spoke rings inside his mind.

Why did the Judge choose him? Why was he picked to be sent here in the first place?

’Remember, this is your inevitable fate.’

His inevitable fate? How does that even affect his fate when he had already given up his existence as a grim reaper?

Unknowingly, Qin An fell into a deep thought that he actually loses his guard on the surroundings.

He didn’t notice that the dark element that was waiting in the corner slowly swims behind him.

The smoke-like energy gradually forms into a figure of a monster, revealing sharp claws that want to attack him from behind.
