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

A vein popped in Yi Bing's forehead as he watched Huo Ling look back to Shou Ji once again. "Stop looking!" he snapped as he grabbed Huo Ling's head with his large hand and turned it, forcing Huo Ling to look to the front.
"Err, well…" Huo Ling muttered and grimaced when he saw Yi Bing's sharp glare. He looked away, and felt his ears reddened when he heard Shou Ji laughed behind them.
"If you feel worried about me, don't be." Shou Ji spoke as he patted Huo Ling's shoulder while he walked by his other side. "The matter of life and death… I already got over it." He said.
"But, you…" Huo Ling stammered. "… did you see if you should have lived instead of dying?" he asked, referring to the Name Record.
Shou Ji just smiled. Huo Ling isn't familiar with Shou Ji, and he is also not proficient in guessing other's thoughts and emotions, so he doesn't know Shou Ji's answer, and also what he is feeling right now.
