[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 197 - 196: Dark Element

Chapter 196: Dark Element

From He Li, Shen Lou, Su Jinxi, to her and the other people around this hover car to even He Yan, all of them are always thinking about what to do for mankind.

With gestures like going to the stage not for himself but to spread positivity like He Yan, they always care for the people in this world.

He was not dreaming to become an idol for himself but for the people around him. Just because he can lift their mood? Was that really enough to do such things for others who didn’t even know you and your worth?

This was something that Qin An was hard to understand at all. For him who lived just by himself, empathy was something the hardest he could resonate with.

But looking at what he is doing... is he also like them?

Like what Hou Nian or even the Marshal said, why can’t he just take a rest anyway? If he needs merit, he can definitely have it sooner or later. What’s the rush?

Is he doing this just to recover the strength he had back then or maybe something else?

’... Because I chose to become a human.’

He recalled the words he said to He Li. Qin An chose to become a human for something that he didn’t remember why. However, he also had the choice to reject this job in the first place yet even though it will cost him something again, he still accepted it.

Because he chose to be a human.

Because he chose to be like them.

... to save the world too.

When they arrived at the private resort again, Qin An readied himself again and wore the breathing machine.

"I’ll go with you." He Li said while looking at Qin An with firm eyes.

"... fine," he can only agree because he knew that the latter won’t allow him to go alone in any way.

"Can we also use this to follow you?" Xia Qianchen raises a small diving camera in his hand. "We want to monitor and ensure what will happen below."

"... Okay." What can Qin An do but agree anyway?

He Li and Qin An wasted no time anymore and they jumped to the cliff again.

"Stay behind me." Qin An said to He Li who nodded solemnly.

Qin An summoned the sword back on his hand before they dived underwater.

They swam towards the same direction and Qin An immediately saw the smoke-like dark elements coming towards them.

His face turns cold and raises his sword. A golden light envelope the weapon and he launched an attack towards the dark elements.

Various shadow-like silhouettes from the dead souls also emerge and they begin talking again as if they wanted to lure him like what they did earlier.

But this time, Qin An’s expression remained indifferent and obviously not affected by this effect anymore.

As he was battling with them, he didn’t notice how He Li’s eyes darted towards the sword. The man’s eyes narrowed as he recalled the dream again.

The hand that holds the ancient sword looks very the same as the young man in black.

Right now, He Li confirms his suspicion.

That young man was Qin An.

But how is that connected to him? Who was he in that dream?

Before he could think further, Qin An suddenly rushed towards him and held his shoulder. The young man signaled to go up quickly so they swam back out from the water.

"Is there a way to fly?" Qin An asked.

He Li didn’t understand his action but nodded. He released his mecha and went inside the capsule while he let the young man stand on the robot’s palm before he slowly floated.

With the distance between them and the sea below, Qin An’s hand moved swiftly to form a mysterious formation.

Afterwards, a huge magic circle appeared below them and just above the sea where the dark elements and the souls were.

Qin An’s eyes completely turned into gold and his whole temperament changed.

The wind around turned cold and stronger and the sky above them turned darker as if a storm was brewing to happen within just a short period of time.

The crowd below was stunned by the mysterious scene that appeared to them and they could feel the strange coercion that surrounds them. The power that envelops the magic circle is not only affecting his target but also everyone around.

Standing above, the young man feels like someone who’s totally out of this world. The sword on his hand was like becoming one as he stood like a sharp sword ready to defeat anyone.

In the next second, a golden chain floated from the magic circle and as Qin An pointed his sword to the sea, the chain moved straight underwater and they saw from the camera below how it suddenly surrounds something.

The chain seems to entangle and drag it above. There, they finally saw the huge dark smoke-like and the different shadows that started to scream sharply as if they were in pain.

"!!!" They were stunned when they heard the painful screams from various voices.

Men, women, older ones to even some children’s voices, their screams in agony seemed to penetrate inside their head sharply and it also brought another pain to them.

"The sins under you have broken the rules in this world. For the grave sins you’ve committed, all of you will have no right to reincarnate in any life forever and instead will be sent to the hell of punishment to receive the consequences you must take." Qin An’s solemn voice resounded.

"No! I didn’t do anything wrong!" Different voices from the souls sounded all together to answer him.

Qin An’s eyes narrowed. "No? The resentment from death turned into dark elements that consumed you. Not only did it harm the mental power of the people who went here but also devoured the other souls to become powerful."

"But only because I want justice for my death! What about me who died when we didn’t even do wrong?! What about us who just want to live?! We want to take revenge! We want justice!"

Qin An’s face remained indifferent. "The moment you turned yourself for greed, the chance to redeem yourself was lost. As for justice, it is no longer your right to step in. You are no longer alive."

A sharp look on the young man’s face appeared. "Also, if not because of you, the other souls around here won’t be swallowed by you, right?"

His eyes landed straight to a particular shadow with the others in the center of the magic circle.

The only shadow that he noticed to have its own consciousness until now.

Who else could it be but the real culprit behind these dark elements?
