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
China, S City.
Huo Ling crossed his arms as he continued to stare at Yi Bing while waiting for the other's answer with his brows raised.
Meanwhile, Yi Bing. "…" damn. I really forgot. What to do? What to say? Asking online for the answers!
-no. He's just joking. As the first grim reaper, and the strongest one at that, how can a mere ghost (soul) contend with him? Intimidate him? Ha-ha.
However, it is on the premise that it is not Huo Ling. The one before him is Huo Ling, who he likes. He cleared his throat to mask his discomfort and compose himself. "I didn't tell you because I don't want you to stress yourself." He answered.
It is a half-truth and half-lie. He really didn't want for Huo Ling to be stressed, since grim reapers shouldn't do that. Instead, they should make the souls more relax and be comfortable, which is what he had done before: taking Huo Ling for a vacation to the places Mo Shi recommended to them.
