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
"Oh, my… this is great!" Huo Ling said with a wide grin. "As long as it isn't in the Soul Society's hands!" he happily laughed, feeling overjoyed by this sudden event. Suddenly, he remembered something and he turned to Yi Bing. "But, how did you know this?" he asked. "Do you know who stole it? Or…" his eyes narrowed as he stared at Yi Bing who is smiling. "… was it you who…" he said, feeling gossipy. His head moved closer to Yi Bing.
"It's not me." Yi Bing said as he pushed Huo Ling's head away from him.
"Mmph!" Huo Ling frowned when Yi Bing's wide palm covered his face as he pushed him.
"And I don't know who stole it." Yi Bing added.
Huo Ling grabbed Yi Bing's hand and removed it from his face. "Then, how did you know it was stolen?" he asked.
"You wanna know?" Yi Bing asked as his eyes turned into crescents when he smiled. He looked at Huo Ling, waiting for the other's answer.
