Afterlife Department

Yi Bing saw in the news the success of Qi Shan and Lei Shan's revenge for Lei Shan's murder when Liang Lin's death was announced, as well as Liang Jin and Ah Xu's arrest. The Tianxing Entertainment announced the change in its management after they removed Liang Jin and Liang Lin from their position. However, the Tianxing's popularity sank to the abyss. The public is now doubting them whether the other people in the entertainment company also had a hand on Lei Shan's murder. Liang Jin and Liang Lin may have been caught – and Liang Lin died, but there might be other people lurking in the dark… every time people see the Tianxing's employees in the street, they'd immediately move away from them or some, who were braver, curse at them. The employees who were timid or cannot handle the stress quitted. They casted away their ID and immediately sent their resignation letter to their supervisor. Some AWOL-ed, cannot wait to leave the company. Even if their pay is good, but preserving their life is better. Because they have seen the dead insects and dead animals' corpses mailed to the company every day. The box might have covered the sight of the corpse, but the stink cannot be hidden – just like the truth of Lei Shan's murder.

Yi Bing sighed after he sent a 'congratulations' message to Qi Shan. Qi Shan and Lei Shan are on their way to the second step of their plan – finding the zombie ability users and gathering them. Qi Shan found out that Lei Shan actually can communicate with other zombie ability users using telepathy when they met one of the ability users and Lei Shan found out what the zombie ability user was thinking.. It recognized him as the film emperor. When Lei Shan talked to it, naturally, the zombie ability user can't speak. However, Lei Shan had heard its thoughts through his mind. Thus, Qi Shan suggested to Lei Shan to send a telepathic message to the zombie ability users. Qi Shan wanted to see how far can Lei Shan's telepathic ability can reach. Qi Shan only knows that Lei Shan has two abilities, thus he was surprised to find another one. They went back to their hotel room to find Yi Bing and Huo Ling. Then, they tested Lei Shan's telepathic ability on Huo Ling.

They were surprised to find it didn't work on Huo Ling! They were even more surprised that Yi Bing's Wholeness and Qi Shan's Connection has finally worn off of Huo Ling! Qi Shan thought Lei Shan might have another ability. But, Yi Bing slapped him with the truth – he was overthinking, and overconfident on Lei Shan. The Wholeness and Connection has worn off even before the two could come back. Qi Shan, embarrassed, immediately left with Lei Shan again to gather more zombie ability users. That left Yi Bing and Huo Ling. Even though the Wholeness and Connection on Huo Ling are ineffective, but to other people, it is still affecting them since it was set for a whole month. Huo Ling, on the other hand, still cannot speak.

Yi Bing turned off the TV and then turned to Huo Ling who was picking the leaf of the plant. Not only Wholeness and Connection's effect has disappeared on him, but even his fire ability has left him. Now, Yi Bing cannot totally communicate with Huo Ling. In the previous world, which is Huo Ling's previous life, Huo Ling's soul is burning bright and fierce thus he wanted to recruit him to be a grim reaper. Huo Ling's soul attribute is above the normal. However, now, his soul attribute disappeared.

Yi Bing's brows knitted. He turned only to see Huo Ling was looking at him. Could it be, unbeknownst to Qi Shan, Lei Shan still has another ability? But, Lei Shan already has three, and it is way too heaven-defying. Shen Sheng and the other god won't permit Lei Shan's existence if he'll have another ability. Three is already the maximum. Also, Qi Shan speculated Lei Shan's third ability – telepathy, is an arrangement in this world. Lei Shan's misery in this world was paid off by him gaining a third ability. He got his third ability on his first world. Qi Shan may not know why, but Yi Bing does.

Yi Bing knew that Qi Shan, when he was an archangel, stolen the Death Note of a grim reaper to change Lei Shan's fate. However, when Lei Shan found out this, he convinced Qi Shan to let him go. "We will see each other again in my next life." Lei Shan told Qi Shan.

Qi Shan's tears fell non-stop. "But you will forget me." He said.

Lei Shan smiled. "I may forget you, but you're still there to make me remember, hm?" he said and nuzzled his cheek on Qi Shan's head. "Even if I'll forget you, but my heart won't. So, let me go. This way and you will have lesser punishment. Qi Shan." He told him.

Qi Shan cried and hugged Lei Shan tight. "We may still see each other… yet it still hurts to see you dying…" he said.

The Death Note Qi Shan stole was Yi Bing's. Yi Bing was already demoted when this happened and he became a grim reaper, thus, he owns a Death Note. He and Qi Shan were still close friends, thus Qi Shan thought Yi Bing would forgive him. Yi Bing really forgave him, but the gods can't. Thus, Qi Shan was punished severely. However, even though Qi Shan was punished, but Lei Shan wasn't. Instead, they rewarded Lei Shan – another ability for his soul, telepathy. The gods noticed Lei Shan was very perceptive to his surrounding, thus he noticed Qi Shan when Qi Shan was sent to the mortal world for an assignment as his responsibility as an archangel.

Yi Bing doesn't think Lei Shan has a fourth ability. Thus, he was confused why would Huo Ling's soul attribute would disappear. Why? He thought as he opened his communicator – the holographic screen on his black watch, and saw there was still no reply from the Afterlife Department after he sent an inquiry regarding Huo Ling's soul attribute. "… is San Di playing games again?" he muttered.

In the Afterlife Department, San Di sneezed. "Who's cursing me?" he asked and wiped his nose before he continued tapping on his keyboard. On the screen, the game interface can be seen. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Back to Yi Bing, he stared at Huo Ling who was looking at him – his eyes filled with bewilderment. … now what? Yi Bing thought, suddenly having a foreboding. His fear was confirmed when he saw Huo Ling poured a powder on the floor and wrote: who are you? Where am I? Why am I here?

… damn it. Now his memories are lost again?!
