Afterlife Department
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's eyes widened and his pupils shrank. Who - ?! he thought and sharply turned. Fortunately, Lu Si's and Jonathan's instruction to not speak was engraved in his mind or he would have instinctively spoke his thoughts, which would definitely expose himself once his voice was heard. That one, he is a man. And two, he is the real Huo Ling and he isn't a random woman the 'prince' who is celebrating his 'birthday' tonight have chosen as his female companion.
It seems like the other person, who emerged from the darkness and is slowly walking towards him, doesn't need him to speak, either, since he didn't spoke again after he said those words. He just looked at Huo Ling. Likewise, Huo Ling just looked at him. One standing and is looking down at the one below. Meanwhile, the other one is sitting and is looking up at the one above.
