[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper Chapter 276 - 274: Zhi Anming

Chapter 274: Zhi Anming

In this mission, it was decided that they will go with a few people. He Li and his team, Qin An, Su Jinxi, Shen Zhi and a young man nad Zhi Anming. That young man was a soldier that was said to be acknowledged by Xia Qianchen himself, that’s why He Li agreed. Furthermore, the latter was also found to have the sa ability as Su Jinxi and others.

After another quick farewell and reminders with Professor Jian and others, they boarded towards the spaceship and the journey officially started.

When Ji Wen was still explaining to him about the people they will go to, the door was knocked gently and it was slightly opened, revealing a half face popping out from an unfamiliar face.

"Hi!" It was Zhi Anming.

Even with his half face, the slightly curled fringe dark brown hair was standing out tells him about the personality of him. In addition, Zhi Anming looks young too and the way he enthusiastically greeted him shows he is very outgoing.

"Anming?" Ji Wen’s expression softened a bit when he saw the young man and signal to co inside.

Zhi Anming quickly entered and Qin An now had a full sight of this young man. He has round eyes that look very innocent and it’s twinkling brightly like how He Yan always has on him everyday. With his baby cheeks and pouty lips, the latter wearing a soldier uniform doesn’t look very fit and he seems out of place for this job. But since he was picked by Xia Qianchen himself, there’s no need to doubt whether he has the ability.

Aside from that the young man had been with them occasionally for the past weeks and thus Ji Wen and others were already familiar with the young man. They sohow started treating him as the kid within the team— well of course not with the Marshal.

For so unknown reason, the two didn’t even have any conversation together except for when it’s really needed. Other than that, there was basically nothing. At first they were a bit surprised because a lot of people admire He Li and wanted to be close to him, with this opportunity even if Zhi Anming will not really be included in the team, he was given a chance to be with them unlike others. He could have gotten this chance but he didn’t.

Instead the latter isn’t even acting like that. Or was he part of those people who are afraid of the Marshal? Maybe that’s it but they didn’t ask him out of respect.

"You’re Qin An?" Zhi Anming enthusiastically stood in front of them and looked at Qin An with his bright eyes.

Qin An nodded and the latter smiled even more widely.

Ji Wen looked at the two and nodded to himself. Zhi Anming’s presence will probably help the young man too because they’re the sa age, right?

As he was looking at them as if watching two kids eting with each other to be friends, he also excused himself when his brain vibrated and the Marshal called for him. He left the room with the thought of giving these two a ti to be friends so he left with ease, completely forgetting that Qin An was never the sa age with anyone in this world.

If He Yan himself even took ti to get close to this grim reaper, what about soone whom Qin An just t?

Thus when the door was closed, a mont of awkward silence imdiately engulfed the whole room.

"...."

Zhi Anming noticed his attitude and the smile of his face cracked a bit. His high energy also leaked sohow and suddenly didn’t know how to react.

Unfortunately, only him was feeling this way.

Qin An looked away at the familiar bright eyes and instead his gaze turned at the familiar special core on the latter’s body. It was that core that Shen Lou and others have, a symbol that they have the ability.

However... Qin An frowned a bit.

He unknowingly stepped forward and unceremoniously raised his hand and put his palm on the young man’s eyes to observe when he noticed sothing was a bit different.

Zhi Anming’s ’core’ is slightly different from Shen Lou and others. If Shen Lou and other’s cores are just like a small golden ball, the young man is actually like tiny veins wrapping around the golden ball.

It was very thin that if he didn’t have a keen observation, he would not have noticed such a thing. The problem is, this is the first ti that he encountered such a situation.

All of the cores that he had seen from people like them, they only have that golden small core inside them. The gold was pure and it looked very holy.

Right now it looks a bit stained? Was that even the right word? Qin An was really confused.

As the young man was very busy looking at the core intently, he didn’t notice or hear the knock on the door and was pushed open by soone.

....

He Li was inside his private room and was very busy looking at so docunts. His face was calm and serious as he ticulously studied the information about the planet they have to go for this mission.

He has to create a plan that could minimize any possible danger for the team. Even though this is entirely impossible. The planet was already a habitat for large zergs and given the situation where it can attack them with ntal pollution that might lead them to higher risks.

This is the mission that they must succeed at all cost no matter what price they have to pay in the end.

Right now, He Li has three priorities. First is to bring the ginkgo tree to their new planet at all cost. Second, protect Qin An.

That young man was the core that could help them get through all these riots. No matter what, he and the ginkgo tree must survive and return to the planet. Last was himself and others. He believed that they as the soldiers themselves knew what to put first before anything else.

He and others can be replaced with many outstanding soldiers that could protect mankind but the two latter cannot. Even if it ans sacrificing himself, he has to do it.

He Li beca a bit preoccupied with his work when all of the sudden, a stinging pain rushed on his head that made him wince. He subconsciously touched his head and slowly massaged his temples.

And maybe because of the pain, he actually failed to hear a knock on the door and soone entered.

"Marshal."

He Li paused his actions.

"Marshal, do you need an inhibitor?" It was Shen Zhi who ca inside.

He put down his hand and looked at the latter. "I’m fine."

And unexpectedly, the latter showed disapproval on her face.

"Marshal, I think you need an inhibitor." She suddenly insists.

"I’m fine," he calmly stated again but just like earlier, Shen Zhi didn’t agree.

"Marshal, I think you’re wrong. Please take an inhibitor."

His eyes narrowed. "Leiutemant Commander Shen, I think it’s not a place for you to contradict ."

"But Marshal, you know it’s not good for your health. This mission is extrely crucial for everyone. Maintaining ourselves to the best way possible before we arrive is the only thing we can do now."

"...." He Li didn’t respond. Instead he was quite curious about the latter’s insistence. Shen Zhi is known for being too cold and rigid. Unless there’s an extre stimulation against her, she wouldn’t react that much to anything. But why does she look more unusual at this mont?

Yet before he could think further for this, his thoughts were interrupted again by her voice.

"Marshal, you should go to Qin An."

He paused for a second. "Qin An?"

She nodded. "I heard from Ji Wen that Qin An has the ability to soothe our ntal pollution. Since we have no capability to use that power yet, only him can do that."

He Li didn’t answer again. His slender fingers begin tapping the desk individually but fast. The atmosphere inside the room beca more tense as silence enveloped them.

Just when Shen Zhi wanted to persuade the man again, He Li stood up from his seat.

"Okay. I’ll go to him."

Shen Zhi heaved a sigh in relief. She watched the man go out to the office and when he was out of her sight, Shen Zhi’s clenched fists loosen as she sat down on the nearest chair.

She took a deep breath to stabilize herself but even so, she could still feel the slight sweat on her back and the chills on her spine.

Her usual cold face cracked and a worried expression flashed on her face.

Honesty, how could she dare to oppose the Marshal’s words without hesitation earlier? She could never do that— she wouldn’t.

But not with this situation.

She ca to his office to report sothing but when she laid her eyes on him, she just froze and took the courage to insist on everything she said.

And the reason is because she saw sothing.

The Marshal may not see it but Shen Zhi could clearly see the dark mist surrounding him.

It was the darkest mist she saw in her whole life and from what she rembered on what she studied.

This black mist only ans one thing— danger.
