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

He likes Huo Ling. That's a fact. As to what exactly is this 'like' – whether it is the type that develops into love, Yi Bing doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know yet. "Are you ready to answer?" he asked back.
It was Huo Ling's turn to be silent. Yi Bing said 'ready', so Yi Bing must have noticed. Huo Ling clearly knows, aware, what his attachment is. Just now, it was him testing Yi Bing. But the table has now turned.
Yi Bing is testing him. Huo Ling felt powerless. "No." he finally answered.
Yi Bing just hummed a response at his answer and didn't speak any more about it. He nodded. "Then, let's climb a mountain." He said.
"…?" Huo Ling was puzzled and he sent a quizzical look at Yi Bing. What mountain? Why a mountain?
Yi Bing saw him looked at him in askance. He cleared his throat before he spoke. "Climbing a mountain tests one patience and endurance. This is helpful to a soul." He explained.
