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
Huo Ling and Yi Bing sat on the plant box as they waited for a tenant to enter the building.
Ah, no. It was only Yi Bing who was sitting since Huo Ling is floating.
"'Yi Bing'." Huo Ling muttered.
Yi Bing's back froze and his muscles tensed when he heard Huo Ling uttered his name. "You called?" He coolly said as he kept his expression blank to hide his nervousness.
Huo Ling's brows raised as he turned to him. Was it just my imagination when I heard his voice trembled? He thought. Seeing the man's cold expression, he decided he must have been mistaken. Or else, why would the man be nervous towards him? It must be the other way around. Even if Yi Bing had given him an explanation for his past actions, but Huo Ling can feel the man is still hiding something from him.
"I didn't call you." He told him. "I am just... surprised." He explained.
"'surprised'?" It was Yi Bing's turn for his brows to rise. He looked at Huo Ling.
