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
"Pei Ru was called by Wu Deguang." Huo Ling spoke. "I can't talk to her alone again." He sighed.
"It's fine. They are a couple, after all." Yi Bing spoke. "It'd be stranger if she'd stick with you." He told him.
"That's not it." Huo Ling shook his head.
Yi Bing looked at him.
"I heard from a passing servant that they found something on lord Xu Hongkai's corpse." Huo Ling said. He has heard lord Xu's name from the servants he caught gossiping while cleaning the dishes.
"They found something?" Yi Bing was surprised. "What is it?" he asked.

But, right now, that doesn't seem to be the case?
