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
"FCK!" Shi Jiu cursed after they saw a blank space. "They are messing with us!" he gnashed his teeth as he stabbed the steak on his plate with his fork. "Why is there no cause of death displayed for Wei Shi and Yu Yan, as well as the chief, in their previous life?!" he asked as he gnashed his teeth.
"… you didn't check this before?" Yi Bing asked.
Shi Jiu's eyes widened. "How can I?! I'm not interested! And this is the chief's world!" he defended himself. "And… naturally, the chief wouldn't look at their cause of death!" he added, defending Shou Ji.
"I apologize." Shou Ji lowered his head.
Yi Bing looked at Shou Ji and Shi Jiu coldly sweated for his chief. "This will be a lesson for you both." He said. "And, don't let emotions affect you again. Now, we lost a clue." He told them.
"Sorry!" Shi Jiu apologized.
Huo Ling calmly sliced his steak. "Have you thought that this might not be their mistake?" he asked.
