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 started when he heard Yi Bing's words. He knows what Yi Bing meant: Huo Ling's soul assignment must be currently attached to its body. If this is true, then his soul assignment's body must either be currently in the country, but too far from where they are currently, or already outside the country. These are the reasons why he can't reach them.
If it is the former, then they have to extend their reach to every corner of the country. But, if it is the latter, then it confirms their suspicion that it was really the monsters' doing about the annihilation attempt to the Golden-Haired Monkey Clan and the Sunflower Clan.
"Perfect timing, then." Huo Ling spoke.
Yi Bing looked at him.
Huo Ling smiled. "I want to see Jiang Ce." He said.
Yi Bing nodded. "Okay." He said as he looked at the blue sea.
The wind blew and made their hair flutter with the edge of hem of their clothes.
