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
"So, you left to find where the scream came from. But, only to found a dark villa where someone is dead inside?" Huo Ling said when Yi Bing, Di San and Liu Lin had returned.
"Yes." Yi Bing nodded. It was only him and Huo Ling now left in Huo Ling's room. Feng Er and Si Shui went with Di San and Liu Lin earlier to discuss. "After Di San, Liu Lin and I scouted the entire subdivision, we didn't see anyone suspicious. So, we think it was a yao that killed the woman." he explained.
Huo Ling fell silent. Yi Bing knew the change in his mood is because this was the first time for Huo Ling to know about the evilness of a yao.
After a while, Yi Bing spoke. "You really don't want to go to the Hao family?" he asked. That's right. It wasn't his decision, but Huo Ling himself, to not go to the Hao family. At first, he thought Huo Ling was just shy and nervous facing his long-lost relatives… ah, no. It was Huo Ling who is the long-lost here.
