[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 280 - 278: To Debut

Chapter 278: To Debut

After many meetings and discussion, the higher-ups decided not to fully reveal Qin An’s identity about him as a grim reaper but instead just go with him having a new ability about spiritual attributes. They weigh the possible consequences about what will happen if that happens.

If they reveal his real identity, there will be more problems because they are sure that many influential families will definitely ask for his assistance such as calling for souls of the dead. Qin An will also definitely be in danger and such things as this spotlight is not good.

On the other hand, they still reveal his special abilities for a reason. They don’t want his hard work to remain unnoticed. If they let the situation go, after Qin An came back and he wanted to continue his journey on stage, his reputation will not go back as they used to because of his departure from the competition.

It’s either they will do something that could definitely catch their attention that’s enough to overturn this situation.

At first they weren’t thinking about this but it was Hou Nian herself who brought it in the meeting. Her original words was that,

"How could we not thank that child for his sacrifice and hard work? Other than giving back what we robbed from him, what can we do to repay this?"

This is actually even a small repayment for everything he did so from now on, they will also do their best to give back.

This plague is not just Qin An’s responsibility but everyone’s.

And as expected, as soon as everyone finally processes the shocking discussion, they also quickly start discussing for their realizations.

GoodTune: Omhygod, I can’t believe this! So this is really the truth, right? Qin An actually chose such heavy responsibility and sacrifice for us yet here we are, treating what he did as betrayal! Anan, I’m so sorry!

JustDumpling: How selfless of him to do this and even decided not to reveal. If it weren’t for such an announcement, how could we realize this? I feel sorry for him. Aside from that, what I’m really worrying about is his safety. It’s not because I am not confident with the Marshal’s protection but going on this kind of mission is too dangerous for someone like him! I can’t imagine how frightened he is right now!

AttentionPlease: Anan is just a minor and he was supposed to enjoy his life here! His life has just begun and even his dream to debut is just right in front of him yet he has to do this. I feel very sorry for this but I’m very thankful that he chose this for everyone. It only proves how sincere he is.

LostButterfly: I’m just hoping that the mission will be successful and he will come back safely with the others too. Anan, I’m here waiting for your debut too!

SleepTightly: Count me in! Anan deserves a proper debut! We will wait for you!

Others quickly comment for their support too. For now, they could only wait for their return and in the meantime, many also decided to watch the episodes again. They’ve once again witnessed the slow growth of the young man throughout the hardship that he felt. His confusion, his eagerness— and the once indifferent heart softened.

Meanwhile, there’s also a commotion inside the training camp. The remaining trainees were also told about the said announcement and the reason also shocked them.

"Anan really did this?" Xing Ren was shocked but his eyes also reddened. His heart aches for the youngest of them.

"So that’s why something’s going on here?" Lu Nanxiao recalled the weird situations throughout where there’s always that young man who’s either doing something or was the center for that situation. And it turns out that Qin An has really something to do about what happened to him!

He clearly remembered how he felt like he was another person back then. He couldn’t control himself for no apparent reason and he was really terrified, but when the young man came and went closer, he felt something pull him back.

Did he use his ability for that?

It was not only Lu Nanxiao who thought about something like this but the same for others. It was always Qin An who can only get closer to them when they’re having mild riots. It was him who accompanied them one by one so they won’t feel scared and lonely inside the room where only robots can stand by their side without being affected by the mental pollution.

It’s not about him having no mental power but it was his ability itself.

While they were talking about this, only Shen Lou, Nan Moyi and Gu Yijin who knew the whole truth remained silent. Their hearts felt heavier because they knew that Qin An’s responsibility was far more complicated and much deeper than this. Qin An will not just assist and heal others but he will be the main point to save that ancient ginkgo tree.

Even though they knew about his identity, they had no clue about his strength and others so they couldn’t help but feel worried and afraid. Unfortunately, they have no choice and there’s nothing they can do but wait like everyone.

Shen Lou was clenching his fist, still feeling like he should come with them to help no matter what it was whereas Nan Moyi was feeling guilty on the side because he knew Qin An had to step in to protect his sister too.

"I want to withdraw."

Gu Yijin’s sudden words stopped their thoughts and they turned to him, shocked about the words he just announced.

"I want to withdraw from the competition." Gu Yijin repeats.

"Yijin, are you joking? What do you mean by this?" Sheng Yan asked the young man.

Gu Yijin’s expression looked serious and firm as he answered. "I want to withdraw. I will wait for Anan’s return. Didn’t he say that he’ll join other competitions soon to debut? Then I’ll join him."

"!!!!"

The remaining eight trainees were shocked at his words.

"Yijin, this is not just something you decided abruptly!" Xing Ren couldn’t help but scold the young man. "If you just leave, what about your goal to debut? It’s important too!"

"Don’t be impulsive." Nan Moyi also turned serious. "This is not a matter that should be decided like this."

However, to their shock, when Han Suwen spoke, he didn’t object to Gu Yijin’s decision but instead support him by saying, "Then I’ll withdraw too."

"!!!!"
