Chapter 23: Seek For Enlightenment
Did Qin An ever receive gratitude towards the souls that he guided in the past? Yes, there were.
One of the hardest tasks of a grim reaper is before leading the dead souls to the hall to be judged, they have to ensure the soul's willingness to come with them. And to do that, they will give a chance to every soul to fulfill their wish. After granting it, only they can lead them to the hall.
Qin An met countless souls with different experiences and emotions inside them. Some humans die because of an accident. That's why they are too unwilling to leave and they are sometimes the hardest to convince to move forward because they couldn't accept death. Some humans also died because of murder and it led them to born anger and evilness inside their hearts. Once a soul harbors bad intentions towards humans, their merit will lessen, losing them the chances of having the possibilities of being reborn to a good life.
The kind of souls that are easy to deal with are humans who died because of their age and sickness. They are those people who are ready for their own deaths so they welcome it with ease and relief.
For Qin An, he went with those souls to fulfill their wishes and watched them cry and bid farewells. After that, they will always thank him for guiding them with care. However, Qin An didn't think he was. He was just doing his task and since they prioritized sending them with voluntary hearts, they will do what they want simply. So he didn't think it's too great.
But how he's facing this situation, he begins recalling the blurred faces of those endless souls smiling at him. He couldn't recall their faces anymore but he knew their eyes contained the same.
They are grateful to him.
Why? Was it because he let them leave the world with relief? Although it was a basic act of saying thank you for someone who did you a favor, Qin An didn't understand at that time why their eyes always contained happiness and gratefulness to him. For him, those emotions can never be understood and he sometimes felt a burden.
