[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 149: Guardian

Chapter 149: Guardian

As Qin An found out why Shen Lou can see ghosts and learned the special energy core inside him, he understood that it’s also just a matter of time that cases like this would start emerging in this world. To be exact, what Earth had will slowly exist here. Metaphysics, superstitions and maybe other things that disappeared.

... or even they already exist but no one found out.

This is probably a good thing even though it also means new circumstances to face due to the fact that the people in this era no longer believe they exist. This also means that no one knows how to deal with it. For example, to this peach tree, they didn’t know that it was not because the tree itself is the main core but the spiritual energy that drives the power of purification.

Even now that their questions were answered and there are people potentially having the skills to help, they didn’t know how to.

And unfortunately, he also didn’t know.

Grim reapers and Taoist Masters are connected because they dealt with deaths and afterlife but that’s it. They have different skills and as grim reapers, they naturally have more authority than them.

Or even if there’s probably a similarity, Qin An didn’t know what it was.

Thus, he could only explain what he discovered inside Shen Lou and the probability of looking towards his ancestors’ background.

In addition to the peach tree, some matters were also discussed inside Professor Jian’s office and it’s about Qin An’s identity.

Now that his involvement is getting larger, he needs to have a background and security for his information now that he has no plan on letting others uncover his real identity.

For this, he also needs a guardian to protect him just in case. However, letting him inside the Marsha’s family is very risky and a high chance of those people looking at the young man may be heightened.

Just as they are wondering whether to search for a good family, Professor Jian speaks.

"What about me?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise, they knew that the Professor had only one relative in his life, his son. When his wife passed away, the Professor had taken care of his own son all by himself. Fortunately, his son was very filial and ensured that the old man could live a better life for his old age. Jian Zihan— the old Professor’s son is a soldier with a good position in the military. He has been a hard-working person and a good man too.

The latter has currently no plans to get married as both him and his Father were devoted in serving the country. Jian Zihan supports all his father’s decisions and thus when the Professor still insists on working, he knew that his father really devoted his life to his research.

As for the problem of protecting Qin An, Professor Jian’s identity and his son’s merit in the military can certainly cover him up. Furthermore, the Marshal would also protect him from behind the scene just in case someone would dare in the future.

In the end, Qin An agreed to his offer so they quickly applied through the procedures and it will take some weeks to approve Professor Jian’s adoption.

"Thank you, Professor." Qin An said but the old man reveals a smile at him, completely facing him with a different attitude. If it were in the past, even though the old man is very interested in him, he still maintains a polite distance and just talks with the purpose of a business and nothing else.

But now that the old man is adopting him, the latter’s attitude has become open and a bit of closeness that Qin An hasn’t experienced from someone.

This intimacy is very different from He Yan and others. It is enthusiastic like them but it feels more assuring, this is what he felt when the old man looked at him.

Qin An stilled at this feeling. This was something new again and he didn’t know what to feel.

A family?

Qin An doesn’t have that— every grim reaper does not have that.

They are born out of nowhere and are already in their adult state. They don’t go through infancy, childhood and teenager. Rather, they merely just automatically exist and do their jobs immediately. This is why grim reapers who are born like a white canvas. They know nothing aside from instinctively doing the purpose why they exist and only when they experience or know things can they have a better judgment and own consciousness for themselves.

Hence, knowing that he’ll be registered to a family, Qin An felt weird inside him.

It was curiosity, doubt and at the same time, he felt something inside him was relieved.

Not because his identity was finally settled but he didn’t know.

All he knew was when he exhales a breath, he feels relieved and smiles a bit for himself.

Now that this matter ended, another issue was brought up too.

It’s about Fu Minghao.

When He Li and his team went away, they were working together on all the possibilities to gather solid evidence for the old Admiral Sheng’s crime for their comrade. It was a hard gathering as the Admiral cleaned his mess tight but through their efforts and sacrifices, they did uncover some things that revealed the truth.

It was really the old Admiral who instigated an enemy to kill He Li but became Fu Minghao when the latter tried to save him.

It turns out that Qin An was right again.

He Li’s team wanted to deal with this matter to give Minghao the late justice he deserved but some things came up one by one and they could only compromise and wait for the right time.

Furthermore, Zhao Xiaopang’s matter was also dug up.

They investigate the day he died and find some old video of the CCTV on that day. freewebnσvel.cøm

It’s true that Lu Nanxiao ran away after seeing Zhao Xiaopang on the ground bleeding. However, the latter didn’t go away because he despised Xiaopang. Rather, he called for help and they even tried to drive him to the hospital but just unfortunately too late.

This means that Lu Nanxiao is not guilty and never hurted Xiaopang at all.

Qin An was not surprised though because he knew that Lu Nanxiao would never do that. What surprised him was the location wherein Xiaopang’s father jumped and commit suicide.

It was the location from Ai Yunshen’s private resort.

Long ago, that land was vacant and Xaopang’s father was not even found. No one actually knew the old man died in that place and others only knew he left and they thought he just wanted to leave this place to move on for his family’s loss.

He Li’s team only knew it when they investigated some past footage from the CCTV and found that Xiaopang’s father was last seen walking inside the first holding a bottle of alcohol. As for what happened next, Xiaopang already told Qin An.

Thus for now, they could only wait for the results and try their best to find any remains from the body.
