[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 199 - 198: Hands

Chapter 198: Hands

For the first time, they could feel the aching head and the stinging pain due to the mental pollution gradually easing. All of the people here were from the military and of course had high mental power. But even so, they are also the people who have a high rate of pollution due to the line of work.

All of them were already used to this pain everyday and considered this as normal. Everyone has been enduring this and knows that this will even be the cause of their deaths soon.

Even when they have high inhibitors, they don’t consider that as a soothing medicine and is only a temporary aid to last their lives longer.

This is the first time, and they won’t definitely forget for the rest of their lives.

Being enveloped by the soothing energy that seems to erase all the years that they’ve been enduring.

Astonishment flashed in everyone’s eyes and they remained standing still as they let the falling golden petals on him. The other petals also scattered and flew lightly to the sea and when it landed, it turned into a soft golden light.

The dark clouds above slowly disappeared and there was no cold air around. Instead, the wind starts to feel warm, just like what they are feeling right now.

It was such a delicate caress that softly mends their soul, diluting the pollution that haunts them ever since they were born.

"..."

While everyone was stunned, the mecha flew towards them and landed. He Li went out from the mecha and it disappeared. As for Qin An, the man swiftly moved and caught the unconscious young man in his arms again.

He Li silently looked down at the young man and stared at his face for a few seconds before his grasp tightened and walked towards the hovercar.

He didn’t speak and let the people outside bask with the golden petals because he knew that it was very important for everyone. Same on him actually. After putting Qin An on the bed, he was supposed to go out and feel the healing energy too, but he didn’t.

He sits on the side of the bed and continues staring at the young man without a sound. Qin An looks particularly delicate now.

The sharp and indifferent eyes are now close and he can only see the long lashes on him. The young man’s skin is pale and in contrast to the cold distant temperament that he always had, he is very silent and calm right now.

This was even more rare that no one saw other than him.

He Li lowered his eyes and landed on the young man’s slender hand. It was this hand that held the powerful sword and energy earlier.

Remembering that sword again, He Li unknowingly raised his hand slowly and put his palm on the young man.

They were both men but his hands were larger and his skin was healthier than him. Qin An is much slender and looks soft but he could feel the thick calluses on his hand.

It was the hands of someone who had been through a lot of battles like him.

He Li was just staring at their hands together when the young man’s fingers moved a bit. He Li thought that he would wake up but just as he raised his head, he suddenly felt the young man’s fingers move and held his hand too like him.

"!!!"

He Li’s pupil dilated in shock and he lowered his head abruptly to look at their hands that were now clasped together tightly.

He Li’s whole body stiffened. Qin An is still not awake but he was holding his hand together. His slender fingers slowly spread out and clasp their hands to intertwine together.

"!!!" This action shocked He Li again and could only stare at their clasp hands blankly.

It was that moment when something flashed on his mind again.

It was a vague unknown memory but he saw two hands were clasped together like now. But different from them, those two hands have stains from blood that was slowly dripping.

Such a sight made his heart skip a beat and he didn’t know why but he could feel his heart start to tighten again, just like what he always feels every time this similar unknown memory would appear on his mind.

He Li’s eyes narrowed. He wants to find out why he could think of those unfamiliar memories. He wanted to find out why he seems to be remembering something that didn’t even occur in his life.

He didn’t even know how to start looking for it but now, he only knew that it was him... and Qin An.

Unknown thoughts flash on his mind but his face remains calm. He continues to stare at their hands before his fingers move slightly and also close it slowly... to fully intertwine his hand with the young man.

As they waited for Qin An to wake up, Cheng Yu curiously wanted to check the people inside the hovercar about their mental pollution rate. He told Hong Xiran to lay down the instrument and quickly scanned the results.

Others also became curious and waited on the side. What happened earlier really refreshed their minds and they felt as if the pain inside their head lessened. They didn’t know if it was just a psychological effect after that soothing energy but according to Qin An’s powerful ability, they couldn’t help but feel curious.

They were simply curious but not really expecting, yet to their utmost shock, Hong Xiran’s mental pollution rate actually decreased!

"2%!" Cheng Yu gasped in horror. Even achieving 1 percent decrease was very impossible for them, but actually 2 percent?! Inhibitors are only for calming the riot and it can only pull the lever back to the usual pollution rate at most, but there was never an incident where it was directly decreased!

It was such an impossible act but everyone in the federation had this deep longing for that miracle to happen. So they can no longer worry everyday to see the continuous increase of their mental pollution.

That was like an extremely slow time bomb that was planted since birth. An ultimatum to when their deaths come.

But this time, their worldview was turned upside down again as they witnessed this miracle.

The Old He Patriarch suddenly felt his heart go heavy as he watched this miracle unfold. As someone who had lived longer than anyone here, he had witnessed countless deaths because of the mental riot. Most of them came from his comrades who fought their lives to war.

Even if they didn’t die from the enemies, the increased pollution that caused riots had led them to death instead.

Truthfully, he was just waiting for that time. He is ready to face death anytime and knew there was no hope for this and it would take forever to find a cure. freewebnøvel_com

But now... it actually happened right in front of his eyes.

He Shi felt at this moment... that the lives that were sacrificed for today’s peace was finally worth it.

Because they can no longer just wait and resent themselves to live from the enemies and just wait for their deaths while living.
