BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 - Mentality
Chapter 60 - Mentality
Qi Shan could still feel the shiver running along his spine and all his hairs stood on ends when he first saw a Soul Eater. Looking at the lumps of meat throbbing and convulsing repeatedly, Qi Shan started to abstain from eating meat that day. He retched for an hour before he recovered. Fortunately, the Soul Eater he fought against with is still is an infant – no. He doesn\'t dare compare a Soul Eater with an infant of a human. Since the Soul Eater he faced against is too weak, he managed to live on his first day fighting against it after he suffered a mental blow. They are too disgusting to look at. Fortunately, he has a great mental strength to deal with the visual stress he is facing. After he fought with them and he felt his eyes sore.
Now these literal eyesores are back. Qi Shan hugged himself when he shivered from the cold. He\'d rather face dozens of Zerg armies than look at the disgusting Soul Eaters that appear in various colors due to the different soul attributes they have eaten. He felt like he\'d hate the rainbow for being too colorful every time he sees it.
He sighed and looked at Lei Shan who was walking towards him. He had just finished his meeting with his undead soldiers. "What\'s, wrong?" Lei Shan asked when he saw Qi Shan\'s face looked slightly pale and he was sweating. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Qi Shan was too distracted to notice Lei Shan\'s action. His mind was still on the Soul Eaters. "A problem came up in our world." He answered.
Lei Shan stared at his face. Being with Qi Shan for more than a month, he knew that the man would never speak of his problems unless they are bothering him too much. "After I deal with this world, I can help you." He told Qi Shan.
Qi Shan\'s eyes widened, then he laughed. "Hahahaha! You\'re joking!" he held his stomach as he bent in laughter.
Lei Shan\'s brows knitted. "What\'s wrong?" he asked, confused.
"Right. I still haven\'t told you." Qi Shan said as he wiped his tears. "When you \'die\' in this world, you will be sent to your next life after wiping out your memories." He told him.
"What?" Lei Shan frowned.
Qi Shan shrugged. "That\'s how it is." He said, suppressing his smile. Actually, with Lei Shan\'s abilities, he can be a grim reaper. However, Qi Shan felt being naughty this time. Thus, he didn\'t tell Lei Shan he can choose between reincarnating and being a grim reaper. Now that their world\'s situation is grim, the Afterlife Department wouldn\'t want to miss this opportunity to recruit Lei Shan.
Qi Shan isn\'t aware that he made a grave mistake today just because of a moment of capriciousness. He will be severely punished by Lei Shan in the future. He could have been saved if he saw Lei Shan\'s face darkening at that moment. But he\'s drowned in happiness and he missed it. "Oh." He heard Lei Shan said, his voice indifferent.
Qi Shan was surprised by Lei Shan\'s reaction. "You won\'t miss me?" he asked, his voice teasing. He has a wide grin on his face like Cheshire Cat. But, he was bound to be disappointed when he saw Lei Shan just turned his back on him and walked away. "Aww… what a boring person." He muttered, his excitement was slightly doused with cold water by Lei Shan. His assignments have always been lively ones, since they are the protagonists. There are also some who are very gloomy. But, their enthusiasm for vengeance gives him excitement. Kill people here, trample those people there. They are too depressing because of the misfortune they experienced, yet their desire to revenge wasn\'t dampened in the slightest. Instead, it burned more and more!
Lei Shan isn\'t any different from these people, but how can he remain so calm in the face of his enemies? He didn\'t even punch Ah Xu when they saw him before. He didn\'t rejoice when Liang Lin died. And he didn\'t even kill Liang Jun in his prison cell. Qi Shan can even kill these people for Lei Shan. But, it was Lei Shan who told him not to. Qi Shan has never met a very understanding protagonist who suffered humiliation and injustice… \'understanding\', my ass! Lei Shan looked like he doesn\'t care about anything! He\'s just being lazy!
Qi Shan frowned. It seems like he finally understood the mentality of his new assignment. Lei Shan thinks that since his life already ended, there\'s no need to fuss about the past. He felt that he already has done his best, and now it\'s time for him to rest. The more he thinks about this, the darker Qi Shan\'s face is. He remembered his words of \'encouragement\' to persuade Lei Shan to act.
"Look. You and your \'brothers\' have died miserably. Won\'t you avenge yourself and make them avenge themselves? The government already knew about your existence, anyway. They will do everything just to catch each one of you. Right now, they are looking for the discrepancies in the hospital records of which corpses are missing. If you won\'t take control now, you\'ll forever be hunted by the government and will continue to hide, not given a moment of rest by them!" he told Lei Shan who was just lying on the ground, silently staring at the night sky. This time is already a luxury for the film emperor who works 330 days in a year.
Qi Shan should have known. With Lei Shan who had burnt out himself working while he\'s alive, he was seeking for comfort and peace in this afterlife of his. Out of the paragraph-length speech of his, only the last sentence moved him (LS)! He turned and looked at Lei Shan who sat on the chair in front while his \'brothers\' stood before him and they did another \'staring contest\'. Lei Shan must be anxious to crush the government in order to achieve his peace.
Suddenly, the corner of his lips rose. So be it. He thought. As long as Lei Shan would be the leader of this world, it doesn\'t matter how long or how short will it be accomplished. Qi Shan only knows, the government will definitely suffer a crushing defeat on Lei Shan\'s hands!
