[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 16 - : Riot

Chapter 16: Riot

Chen Jiang didn't respond to the quarrels and was looking at the virtual picture of the young man in front of him.

Although this Qin An has no expression on his face, it undoubtedly caught everyone's attention. Someone with a pair of just ordinary black eyes but it exudes a deep feeling of something indescribable. It was as if something was inside that hook's everyone's heart so they couldn't help but always look at him.

Yet, not because it can make someone's heart flutter like a spring breeze, but because his eyes were like the frozen winter, unfathomable and distant.

Chen Jiang thinks that it's not just the face that actually attracts, but the look on his eyes. Actually, Qin An was very stoic. Chen Jiang never saw someone this young having that kind of expression on their face. Full of indifferences and a faint of emptiness that hides in the depth.

Rather, he often saw this in the military.

The Chen family has connections to the military too. They covered the media and journalists around the federation and they helped the military on conveying information to the netizens, same as the military on helping their media for protection if they needed. Since he's the president, he was often invited to the military base for meetings and he has met countless soldiers inside.

And he often sees military soldiers having lifeless eyes in the hospital department. Truthfully, everyone here is also infected with mental riots. Riots are normal in every single one of them. However, since normal people like them are not on the front line, they have lesser possibilities of mental breakdowns.

Mental riots had been a plague ever since human evolution about mental strength. It's precisely like the law of nature where when humans dominate, zerg emerges to balance the world. And when humans managed to invent mechas and other technologies to evolve themselves into higher beings to defeat zergs, mental riots also emerged to balance the world again.

It's like having both good and evil in this world, one cannot exist without the other.

But of course, humans will not allow this continuity. For so many years, they keep on researching about the root cause of mental riots, but until now it's unresolved.

It's always been like this. Even from the moment a child was born, they already have riots inside their mind so they couldn't get the results. So what they can only do is to avoid every possibility of letting these riots level up.

Fortunately, after years of waiting so long, they manage to invent inhibitors as medicines to somehow calm the riots. Although it cannot erase, at least for now it can lessen the burden.Because up until now, no one knew how to cure it completely.

The other thing that they found was about the other factors that may lead to breakdowns. And one of them was the zergs.

Zergs have somehow developed a mental attack that could poison someone's mental power. If you don't have a high mental power or a tenacious control, riot will gradually invade your mind until it will lead to an unfortunate death. That's why some soldiers look dead even if they're still alive. Because everyday, they always battled with zergs that constantly made their mental riot triggered. It makes their heads ache every time and feels as if it's going to burst any minute.

Some people can't even persevere with this kind of torture that they choose to die.

So until now, even if there's no war between zergs, anyone still has the deep panic rotten inside their heart. That if they couldn't find medicine, more or else they'll get crazier.

The other factor they saw was about attacking weaker mental power itself. They can directly attack someone else's to fasten the riot until it reaches destruction.

So when Chen Jiang heard about his younger brother attempting to attack someone who doesn't even have the power to struggle he was angry and disappointed. He knew his brother was a pain in the ass, but he couldn't let him become a totally bad person. If Chen We succeeds in attacking Qin An, it will not only affect the family, but if Qin An can also file a case against him, Chen Wei will definitely go to prison for a lifetime. After all, what everyone's bottom line was about attacking one's mental power. It's like even if you beat someone, it can even be forgiven because they have medicine to cure, but mental power hasn't.

It's the most heinous crime that anyone could think of. Even if that's only a threat, one can still receive enough punishment from the law.

That's why aside from making protective laws for this, the military will always be the first priority for mental aid. They are always in the front line and will always face zergs. They have higher possibilities of mental riots because they have the duty to protect humans.

So when Chen Jiang saw the lifeless eyes of soldiers because of the pain and torture, he couldn't help but put admiration to it. They are still enduring at all cost to live even if an endless torture would welcome them everyday. As long as they stay alive, they can still protect the country for mankind. That was the oath that they took and will never betray so Chen Jiang attaches greatest importance to soldiers.

And for Qin An's eyes, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of life this young man had? For having that kind of eyes, what kind of torture that he experienced that he seems to feel very distant and emotionless.

Qin An's eyes are something that only those who have experienced and lived enough can have.

But, how can a young man who's only even a minor have that?

"President Chen?" Chen Jiang came to his senses when he heard someone call him. He looked away from the picture and raised his head.

"President, what do you think about our suggestion?" A shareholder asks.

"Oh." He leaned on his swivel chair before speaking. "You've already planned his route but... I haven't heard that he's a contracted artist for this company?"

"....?!"

That made everyone flabbergasted. That's right. They only heard Qin An was someone who was invited by Li Bai, a newcomer agent. And that was only an invitation, he didn't even have to sign a contract to Qin An so how can they make plans for this?

Wait, if Qin An is still not contracted to Dream Star, then, will another company try to offer him?

Oh no, how can they let the lamb be caught by another wolf!
