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
Yi Bing stared at Huo Ling as their gazes met. It seemed like time has slowed down for both of them as they looked at each other. How can Yi Bing not know what Huo Ling is thinking at the moment? Huo Ling's eyes are clear and bright, they look transparent, making Huo Ling's thoughts and emotions also be transparent to him.
Yi Bing, although he has said before that he won't indulge Huo Ling, but how can he let Huo Ling down? Thus, he raised his arms and caught the other person. As soon as their bodies touched, they both sighed in contentment. It felt like their bodies perfectly fit together – like yin and yang. They complement each other. One hot, and the other one is cold. One is alive… while the other one is dead.
"Were you hurt?" Yi Bing asked, breaking the silence that fell between them, making them drown in their thoughts.
