Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

The audience’s cheers and screams were never-ending. The lights on the stage began to dim.

The music began, and mist started to rise from the stage, followed by the lights that slowly turned on. It gave off a mysterious and illusory effect.

Lu Xu sat in a chair, and rose up from the stage on the ascending platform, as if a deity had risen.

“A vile thief, a crown of vanity turned into a blade of judgment…”

Lu Xu held the mic in his hand, sitting in the chair as he tugged on his necktie, his voice coming out in a drawl, low and hoarse.

It was as if they were using their voices to tell a story, and the music stimulated everyone’s imagination.

Almost everyone was feeling anger towards that thief, and wanted to tear away that person’s facade. The calmer the people on stage sang, the more complete the story became.

The thief gained both fame and fortune, and step by step, walked towards the peak of his life.

But nothing was guaranteed in this world. Those who strayed off the path and walked further and higher, would fall ever harder.

Lu Xu’s calm way of singing, with the look of a king in his eyes, appeared cold and noble.

“Trying to grind me into dust, but you can’t learn to be me…”

The necktie had already been tugged loose, and the top three buttons on his shirt were undone, beautiful collar bones were exposed for everyone to see.

Lu Xu looked slim, but every muscle was perfectly placed.

Looking further down, everyone thought that the outline of his pale glowing skin was pretty, and even wanted to see what was underneath.

Coincidentally, or perhaps not, Lu Xu stood up to dance. As he raised his arm, his clothes were tugged upwards, exposing half of his waist. His waist was slender, and his abs were exposed, his skin was soft and fair, but paired with his muscles, it didn’t make him look weak or fragile. In fact, there was an inexplicable attractiveness about it.

“Aaaaah…”

The audience couldn’t help but cheer and scream loudly.

The more dramatic ones even raised their hands to pinch their noses, as though afraid they would have a nosebleed.

The song “Can’t Learn” was a big hit with the audience.

In order to make the song more wild, the dance instructor specially choreographed crotch grabs in the dance for them.

The youths lined up in a row on stage, thrusting their hips forward in synchronization.

Their handsome faces and beautiful figures, along with their long and slender legs and the lights from the stage, made everyone feel like their knees were weak, to the point that they could prostrate themselves and worship them.

The song was cool, the performers were wild, it was a perfect combination. In the audience’s eyes, there were only the trainees on stage, and nothing else.

Ji Xiunian was a little more unnerved than he was earlier, and he couldn’t help but keep an eye out on Fan Zeng to check how he was doing.

The restless feeling in his heart grew as the deathly aura surrounding him became thicker, and he couldn’t seem to calm down.

Of course this was happening while they were filming the show live, so he couldn’t be too obvious otherwise they would have to start over, and it would cause trouble for everyone.

When the first few groups of trainees went on stage, Ji Xiunian had been trying hard to keep his focus on the performance, and to some degree managed to understand what their strengths were.

Once Lu Xu’s group went on stage, there was no need for Ji Xiunian to force himself to pay attention. In fact, once the stage lights came on, he found that his gaze never once left Lu Xu.

Lu Xu’s existence really was a mystery.

One would think he had a sunny personality, that he was open and innocent, but in the blink of an eye, he could easily become something else entirely.

The boy on stage who used to be all smiles and charm, suddenly became someone sexy and flirtatious.

Even though the performance was nearing its end, Ji Xiunian’s mind was still filled with the image of that bare waist.

Ji Xiunian felt like he had succumbed to this “Lu Xu” poison. He had always had a pure heart, but now, he felt a sliver of desire.

Once he regained his senses, he felt like this wasn’t right. Liking something and desiring something was natural, but once there was a breakthrough, there was no way of controlling it.

Only at this moment, did Ji Xiunian suddenly realise that little thought he’d always had of Lu Xu.

Perhaps he had already sensed it before, but he didn’t dare to consciously accept it.

Ji Xiunian’s dissatisfaction was complicated. He wanted to move his eyes away and stop looking, but he couldn’t control his gaze. No matter how hard he tried, he kept looking at Lu Xu, watching as he blew the audience away with the sexy performance of “Can’t Learn”.

Once Lu Xu’s group finished their performance, the audience was basically going insane.

The quieter ones clapped and screamed loudly,and the more passionate audience members started shouting “Hubby, love me”.

Without a question, Lu Xu once again became the best person in the team.

As for Lu Xu himself, he was, without a doubt, the most popular.

When the performance was over, everyone started to realise that the story in the song “Can’t Learn” seemed a little familiar. After a little more thought… Eh!

Wasn’t this song about Qu Dehui?!

After knowing that Lu Xu wrote this song before Qu Dehui’s scandal, the audience members thought it was incredible–

Before this, no one had known what kind of person Qu Dehui was. Lu Xu was the same.

But when he wrote the song, it was as if he was writing Qu Dehui’s biography, as though he had the ability to predict the future.

What a pity that the song couldn’t be released right now, otherwise the netizens would certainly be as shocked as everyone else once they discovered it.

Because there was a non-disclosure agreement, the audience judges weren’t allowed to reveal details about the performance on the internet, but they still couldn’t help but write Weibo posts telling everyone to remember to watch the show, and saying that Lu Xu would be giving everyone more than one surprise.

A lot of netizens were conflicted over whether to continue watching the show because of Qu Dehui’s incident, but after finding out that his contract had already been terminated, coupled with the existence of the precious Lu Xu, they couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation.

From elimination until now, with the instructors’ guidance and professional advice, the trainees’ second public performance was much better than the first.

Although the filming took a long time, the performance was surprising, and every show was great. It was a feast for the senses.

At 11 o’clock at night, they finished filming the second public performance perfectly.

The audience members followed the instructions of the staff and left the venue. The trainees, after their long and nerve-wracking training, were exhausted beyond belief, and they desperately wanted to go back to the dorm to shower and rest.

Ji Xiunian could have left along with the other instructors, but he wanted to wait for Fan Zeng.

After all, he was the show’s director. After the filming was done, Fan Zeng still stayed for another half an hour to work before packing up.

He walked back with Ji Xiunian, and he couldn’t stop yawning.

Seeing Ji Xiunian looking at him, Fan Zeng knew that he was thinking about the promise he’d made earlier. He knew that it was for his own good. When Fan Zeng spoke, his voice was gentle, “Today was really tiring. I’ll go to the hospital first thing in the morning, all right? It’s almost dawn right now, and I’m not feeling unwell. It’s not appropriate to go to the ER just for a check up too, don’t you think?”

After talking, they arrived at the door to his room. Fan Zeng opened the door. Ji Xiunian followed him without even thinking about it.

Seeing this, it really seemed like Ji Xiunian was forcing him to go to the hospital.

Fan Zeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t have any thoughts of going right now, so he just asked Ji Xiunian, “Do you want anything to drink? Water, or juice? Coffee?”

Without waiting for Ji Xiunian to answer, Fan Zeng already felt off. “It’s already so late, you definitely can’t be drinking coffee. But let me tell you, this coffee is really good. Don’t mind that it’s instant, it’s just as good as freshly ground coffee…”

Fan Zeng picked up the coffee on the table, wanting to show Ji Xiunian, but accidentally dropped the coffee bag on the ground.

He immediately bent down to pick it up, but his vision went black, his chest grew tight, and he collapsed to the floor.

“Fan ge!” Ji Xiunian saw this and got up in a panic, immediately checking on him.

At the same time, Lu Xu received a notification from his Grim Reaper app.

[A client is about to ascend, please choose to accept or reject this order.]

Lu Xu sighed. He didn’t think that Fan Zeng would kick the bucket so soon. He chose to accept the order without pause.

It was someone he knew, and though he couldn’t help in other ways, sending him off well was also good.

He silently walked to the bathroom, and when he appeared again, he was in Fan Zeng’s room.

At this time, Ji Xiunian was checking for Fan Zeng’s pulse, dialing 120 for the emergency number while trying hard to perform chest compressions.

His back was towards Lu Xu as he tried and tried, frantic beyond belief.

As this happened, Fan Zeng’s spirit slowly rose up and separated from his body.

He first saw that he was no longer corporeal, then saw his corpse on the floor. He was a bit stunned. “I’m… dead?”

Lu Xu didn’t think that he would bump into Ji Xiunian here, and he felt a little strange but he still said to Fan Zeng, “That’s right, Fan ge, you’re dead. I’m here to send you off…”

Ji Xiunin’s body jerked when he heard the sound. When he turned his head, he saw not only Fan Zeng, but Lu Xu, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
