50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell. The gods above in Heaven, in order to take care of the newly-died souls, created the Afterlife Department comprised of grim reapers. Huo Ling was delivering food that day when he met Yi Bing and the guy gave him a warning. When he arrived to the customer's unit, he was killed. Huo Ling: you set up a death flag for me! Yi Bing: I'm a grim reaper. I'm the flag myself. Let me help you solve the mystery of your death. Huo Ling: your sister! Alternative title: The Different Ways I Died at 23 Update: daily
Huo Ling looked at Yi Bing's back as they walked down the sidewalk. Earlier, Yi Bing looked like he is marching to the apartment building where the cultivators lived to kill them. But, in the end, not only did he warned them of the dangers brought by their aura, he also actually taught the cultivators a spell to cover up their aura that is very enticing to the Soul Eaters! Obviously, those cultivators, no matter how long they lived, are younglings compared to the cultivators of the past.
Anyway, just look at how fierce his (Huo Ling's) boss is! He (Yi Bing) is actually a very kind-hearted person… ehem, grim reaper! Huo Ling thought and smiled as he walked behind Yi Bing, staring at the other's back. He admits that, at first, when he met Yi Bing, the other is like a bloodthirsty criminal who all wanted to do is to kill, kill, and more kill!
