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 and Yi Bing watched the student left while wiping his face after he thanked them for listening to him venting.
"Yi Bing." Huo Ling called.
"I know." Yi Bing spoke. "This student really deserves to die." He said.

Huo Ling raised his hands and squeezed his cheeks. "That can't be… I managed to deceive those students yesterday and the student just now…" he muttered.
Yi Bing decided to change the topic. "What were you about to say earlier? What do you want to say?" he asked.
Huo Ling's attention was immediately shifted. "Right. I was about to tell you that you forgot to ask the student about the 'ghost's vengeance'." He reminded him.
"… was it appropriate to ask that earlier under that atmosphere?" Yi Bing asked.
