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's face is expressionless as he watched on Di San heal Jason Baurne whose eye turned blue after he punched him. "I'll say it again, we, grim reapers, can't harm humans - !" he heard Di San said in an exasperated voice.
"Sorry." Yi Bing said insincerely. "It was an instinctive response." He said. "Whenever I see what I deem an eyesore." He added.
Di San rolled his eyes. " – no matter if they look an eyesore to us!" he added to his previous speech.
Yi Bing just scoffed while Liu Lin, Feng Er and Si Shui watched on anxiously from the side. With the help of their Death Note which has a navigation function, as one of its functions for the grim reapers who have no current (soul) assignment, they located Jason Baurne. They immediately flew to the location because they were worried for Yi Bing's soul inside Jason Baurne.
