Chapter 06: Disabled
Qin An is deeply suspicious about this.
He was also speechless. He was transmigrated here without anything, he didn't have a penny and then now, his mental strength is error?
Did he turn into a disabled person?
Then how can he expect himself to find a job? Even if he just knew the basics information for now, he already saw how they attached great importance to people with mental power.
For sure they use mental power in every single basis for this world. Even their daily lives must have.
If he were to chose this, how do they expect him to perform?
"Being an idol has many privileges. I think you can try."
Qin An looked at the hopeful Li Bai and he only hummed as a response. Yet even with his coldness, the young man still looked energetic and wasn't offended at all. Unfortunately, the questions that he started bombaring in the next second wasn't very setting Qin An on.
"Oh, by the way, can you sing? Or dance? Do you have any talents perhaps? We can discuss it immediately so we'll prepare for your audition later."
Qin An slightly stiff without anyone noticing.
Sing? Dance? Him in that area? Qin An looks at the anticipation in the young man's eyes, feeling as if a bright light bulb is in front of his eyes. He was even more speechless.
What can he say?
Qin An only spent his entire lives haunting demons and fetching souls to their afterlife. How could he know such things? Besides, it was not included in their job, so why bother learning those?
Qin An knew that some of his colleagues enjoyed their lives trying to be human. He had seen them actually. One time, he saw them having fun inside a bar when he was fetching a soul who died from getting too drunk. Qin An actually saw them sitting on the side and waving their arms up in the air while listening to the live band on stage as if everyone could see them. At that time, Qin An didn't care about what they were doing but he somehow remembered the smiles on their faces.
Qin An didn't understand why they were so invested in those things that were not related to their job. Can that even help them get stronger? Why not fight instead of wasting their time?
Even until now, he didn't understand. Qin An couldn't remember.
Now, he couldn't almost imagine how he might have ended up like those humans that his colleagues once looked up to.
He doesn't even have a single idea how to become an idol.
However, Qin An lived for too long and was able to be just a senior grim reaper throughout his life. He traveled to every corner and history of Blue Star and was able to witness different talents and skills of various people.
Also, he once guided an idol. That young idol died because of malfunction during its performance. The latter fell on a high platform while dancing, apparently he slipped; thus leading him to an unfortunate death.
That young idol was in deep grief and regret that he wasn't able to perform and didn't leave a good memory to his fans. Thus, before he was willing to come with him, he wished to perform even on his fans' dreams to leave a good memory.
At that time, he followed its wishes and watched its last performance without any expression. Even after the young idol delivered its last message and cried in front of him, he didn't feel anything and he sent the teen to reincarnate immediately.
Qin An is very used to it. He was used to seeing different ways of goodbyes and different situations that resulted in deep emotions of humans that entangled them until death.
Their regrets because they didn't spend enough time to enjoy their lives, their sadness because they left someone, their pain as they said farewells, or even some who showed satisfaction after death because they already lived enough.
Qin An has no other thoughts other than fulfilling his job.
But, even if he hasn't tried it, he feels that he has strong adaptability and high intelligence to know what point and angle he has to do to make at least a good performance.
That is why Qin An immediately nods, feeling confident in himself.
Singing and dancing… It's very simple, right?
Seeing him nodding confidently, Li Bai's expressions were very bright and he immediately took him to a place where he could practice. Through a virtual cabin wherein Qin An was inside the virtual world. He was in a large room where a huge mirror wall was in front of him. It seems like a practice room in Blue Star.
"By the way, how old are you?" Li Bai asked all of a sudden after setting up the cabin for him.
Qin An opened his lips and was about to say he didn't remember when he paused and remembered the small information on his light brain. Even when he was feeling really speechless by how his age shrunk too small, he still answered.
"22."
Li Bai nodded. "22? Then it's pretty young—" However, his expression went into shock and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Y-You…" He points at him with such shock that Qin An didn't understand at all.
What's wrong? Isn't 22 a legal age? Qin An clearly remembers that 18 years old is already considered legal age in the human world, right?
But how could he forget he's in Interstellar now?
"Y-You're actually a minor?!"
"!!!"
This time, that expression wasn't only for Li Bai but also for him.
He was really stunned and a crack finally appeared on his thousands of years of ice-like face.
Minor? He… is a minor?!
His face turned green. Qin An felt that this was the first time he actually felt various expressions inside him. Minor? He even lived for too long and forgot how many years it had been and now he is just a minor?
Did fate just put a joke on him? Just how he felt unbelievable when he saw his age turned 22 the first time he saw the information… and now Li Bai is telling him he's actually a minor?!
"...." He wants to go back and regret it!
What was even more unfortunate was when Li Bai gave him a few minutes to think about what to perform later in the audition and left him inside the room, another bad news awaits him.
So now, Qin An was standing in front of a mirror, his face has another rare crack at this moment.
It's over.
He can't create something using mental strength.
He was really... disabled.
Qin An: "...."
