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
The corners of Yi Bing's lips were pulled down and he sneered as he lowered his head after he was done looking above them.
"Hey? What's wrong?" Huo Ling called as he pulled Yi Bing's sleeve. "Did you see or hear something?" he asked before his face paled again. "Is it… is it something horrible?" he asked. "Did you see something… strange?" he clutched tightly at Yi Bing's sleeve. "Hey… say something!" he told him. His eyes are watery because of the unshed tears from being scared.
Although Yi Bing finds the present Huo Ling cute, but he can't tease him anymore. "No." he answered.
"Eh…?" Huo Ling muttered. Suddenly, he thought of something. "Wait… could it be my friends?" he asked as his eyes lit up. "Did you see them? Where are they?" he asked.
Yi Bing raised his head and turned to Huo Ling. "Five hundred feet above us." He answered.
