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
"Ah Ting's… dead." Huo Ling muttered as he weakly fell on the ground when he felt he lost all his strength. "Ah Ting… is dead…" he said. His eyes are wide in shock.
Yi Bing looked at Huo Ling before he glanced at the newspaper and scanned its contents using his watch. "It was Jack who killed him." He told Huo Ling as he read the details about Ye Ting's death. "Jack escaped from his jail cell at midnight, drugged the people near Ye Ting's cell, before he…" he said and paused. He looked at Huo Ling. Seeing Huo Ling's stunned expression, he knew Huo Ling could guess. Not to mention they heard what the female students earlier said…
"Ah Ting was also raped." Huo Ling said as he watched his tears fell on the ground, but they are in the form of air so they cannot wet the ground. He bitterly smiled. I am grieving for my friends who wanted for my death, yet now I cannot even properly cry for them. He thought as he clenched his fists.
