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 could feel that the atmosphere is becoming heavier as he, Yi Bing, as well as Gu Xingfeng who they are secretly following, go deeper in the abandoned building. The deeper they go, the thicker the Foul in the surroundings to the point that Huo Ling felt that he would suffocate. Fortunately, his fire power not only can neutralize the effect of the Foul on him, but it can also purify it, burning it. Meanwhile, Yi Bing could freeze the Foul and disintegrate them. Huo Ling felt as if he could feel the cool scent of ice.
As for Gu Xingfeng, they saw that the light of the flashlight in his hand is flickering, and every time it flickers, the light is becoming dimmer.
