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
Stable World, Lower Heaven, Afterlife Department.
"Si Shui has returned!" Hai Ba told Gu Shi as soon as Gu Shi and Xie Chen returned to the Afterlife Department and brought the injured grim reapers, along with Jiu Ye and Bai Wu who were similarly injured, to the infirmary.
Gu Shi's eyes instantly narrowed. "How is he?" he asked. He already noticed that Hai Ba's expression is not right when he reported about Si Shui's return.
"Si Shui… he has been silent since his return." Hai Ba answered.
Gu Shi's eyes widened in surprise. "He became mentally unstable?" he asked.
"Likely." Hai Ba answered with a sigh.
"Has Ruan Yu already checked his soul's state?" Gu Shi asked as they walked towards Si Shui's bed.
Si Shui, as Hai Ba said, is just silently sitting on his bed with his face looking blank.
