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
"You… knew?" Yi Bing was shocked. However, he's even more terrified. If Huo Ling knew all along his friends actually don't like him and instead hates him to death...
"Mn." Huo Ling nodded as he looked at Ye Ting escorted by the police officers inside the interrogation room.
"How?" Yi Bing quietly asked.
Huo Ling took a deep breath before he spoke. "I bought our drinks and was about to go inside when I heard my name was mentioned." he said. "I was about to laugh, saying that they're thinking of me when…" he lowered his head. "They really do think of me. Just different from what I'm thinking." He bitterly smiled and looked at Ye Ting. They hate him. They're just putting it up with him. How annoying must he has been to them? He thought, his tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
Yi Bing decided not to speak more to not aggravate Huo Ling's emotions.
