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
"Yo, Yi Bing!" Gu Lin greeted when he saw Yi Bing, Huo Ling, and the Inspection Department have arrived in the restaurant which he told Yi Bing to meet up with him.
The Inspection Department looked at Gu Lin, stunned, when they saw Gu Lin. Yi Bing didn't tell them anything when they left the City of the Dead earlier. They were still shocked of what they heard from Feng Er, so they were absent-minded when they followed Yi Bing. They didn't expect for Yi Bing to bring them to meet Gu Lin, though. Even if Gu Lin is a grim reaper and once held a high position in the Afterlife Department, still, Gu Lin is now a Deserter. They never imagined that they would meet Gu Lin this way! This is the leader of the Deserters, okay! And, well, the very first Deserter!
