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
Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Shi Jiu and Jiu Ye silently listened to the people's gossips while they ate in a noodle shop not far from the Pei mansion where the large crowd gathered, waiting for the officials to bring Pei Tingting's corpse out for further investigation.
"'mother's abuse'?" Jiu Ye caught the words.
Huo Ling glanced at him. Last night, after they have sorted out all the information they have gathered, Shi Jiu called Yi Bing and Huo Ling after Jiu Ye went to his room to rest, although he doesn't need it. Shi Jiu then told Yi Bing and Huo Ling about the past of them brothers, and Huo Ling apologized. He also promised Shi Jiu to properly apologize to Jiu Ye when there's a chance.
