Afterlife Department

Chapter 665  Calculating

"The security of that community is very tight." Yi Bing spoke after he saw the 'loading' icon on the holographic screen of his communicator. "Give me some time and I will be able to crack them, and then we will know who is the owner of that house." He said.

"En." They nodded in agreement, then started eating.

After all, that community, as Mo Shi said, is the highest-class community where many influential people live like celebrities, politicians, businesspersons, etc. So, it is no wonder that Yi Bing would take some time to crack the security of the community. Not to mention that they are still in their own world, the Stable World. So, there were no rules to break or to protect them.

Right now, they are in a restaurant. Since they are grim reapers, naturally, they don't need to eat and they can keep their appearance and vital signs as humans due to the Conferment Seal of Shen Sheng. This is also the reason why Hao Baiyun didn't notice that there is something strange with them, not to mention that they had already prepared human identities for them.

But, Hao Baiyun said that the Supernatural Department would reimburse them with their food and fare, and other expenses, so, Huo Ling proposed that they would have lunch. Since this is a free meal, it would be a pity for them not to take advantage of it.

"Setting aside the owner of that house right now… what do you plan to do next?" Jin Wu asked as he cut the steak on his plate with a knife.

Mo Shi didn't answer and he looked at Huo Ling. Yi Bing also looked at Huo Ling since they know that he is the brain of his team with Mo Shi.

Huo Ling chewed his food before he answered. "Although we have a task to do for the Supernatural Department, we can just give them some data later. Right now, our priority is to find the one who exchanged her life with Li Fengxin's." he said.

same characters are Li Fengxin's name as well as birth date and now match it with Li Fengxin's original fate." He explained.

They are just silent, waiting for him to continue.

"Yi Bing." Huo Ling called as he turned. "Did chief Shou and vice-chief Shi tell you what should Li Fengxin's original fate before?" he asked. He is referring to Shou Ji and Shi Jiu of the Collection Department.

Yi Bing's expression softened as he looked at Huo Ling. His eyes are filled with appreciation. He knows that Huo Ling already expected for him to go to the Collection Department to communicate with Shou Ji and Shi Jiu. The corners of his lips can't help but curl up. As expected of the one he had chosen! He thought and smiled. (A/N: he meant for Huo Ling as his chosen person both as an apprentice and lover *wink)

"En." He nodded. "Due to what happened to Shou Ji's world before, that 'rebirth' matter, he, as well as Shi Jiu, became more vigilant now so they always monitored the Name Record." He said. "So, they were really shocked to see such a change. Fortunately, they reacted fast and they saw that Li Fengxin's original fate before it was completely changed, that is, for her to die in an instant after the change occurred." He explained. Then, he paused. "They didn't have time to check whose fate also changed, since they were only notified of the deaths." He added.

A long silence fell. Mo Shi was already shocked because of Huo Ling knowing about the Name Record and Yi Bing's reaction of the exchanging of fate. Now, he was even more shocked of what he heard. It was really fortunate that Shou Ji and Shi Jiu are smart people so they managed to catch Li Fengxin's original fate! Or else, they won't even have any clues now!

"What is Li Fengxin's original fate?" Mo Shi asked. "We are planning to find people who share the same characters are Li Fengxin's name as well as birth date and now match it with Li Fengxin's original fate." He explained.

Yi Bing looked at him before he turned back to face Huo Ling. "Li Fengxin should have become famous after she debuted but then she was suppressed by the other trainees by stealing her resources after getting close to her agent." He answered. "So, her fame was delayed, but she will soon become famous after meeting an investor who initially wanted to do unspoken rules with her but later, sincerely fallen in love with her. She also would fall in love with him after her bad impression of him changed." he explained. "Her career would be on the rise, but later would encounter a storm after her relationship with the man was leaked. Her relationship also would become rocky because there were many rivals who wanted to snatch her man away. But, in the end, the two still remained together and died together in the end." He finished. Then, he heaved a sigh.

The others also can't help but sigh. This sounds like the one you would read in the novels but this is really a reality, for fictions are based on reality. But, unfortunately, what should have been a good life was ended prematurely because of someone malicious!

"Looking for the names and birth dates that matches Li Fengxin's… I will also look into it." Yi Bing spoke. "Then, we can check if they lead the same life as the original fate of Li Fengxin." He said as he looked at Huo Ling.

Huo Ling nodded in agreement. "Thank you." He said and sighed.

"But… since they can exchange their life with Li Fengxin's… this person should be in the entertainment circle, too, right?" Mo Shi asked.

They all looked at him.

Huo Ling's eyes lit up. "You are right…" he said and smiled. "And, since the exchange of fates was performed instantly to ensure Li Fengxin's death, then, we can look for the people who weren't doing anything on that day and left." His eyes narrowed.

The others also started.

"Good." Jin Wu nodded, appreciating Huo Ling's wit.

"Then… isn't our plan to infiltrate the Supernatural Department was in vain since our target is in the entertainment circle in the end?" Mo Shi asked as his brows knitted.

Huo Ling looked at him. "It is not in vain." He answered.

"Huh? Why?" Mo Shi was surprised.

"Remember our objective of infiltrating the Supernatural Department." Huo Ling just said.

Mo Shi frowned as he tried to recall. "To…" he muttered, then his eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Huo Ling. "To find that culprit who exchanged the fates of Li Fengxin and another person!" he exclaimed.

Huo Ling nodded in affirmation. "En." He answered, then resumed eating.

"Then, this…" Mo Shi looked at Yi Bing and Jin Wu. "With the Supernatural Department also tracking down the culprit that performed the exchanging of fates, and senior Yi and my boss now are known by the Supernatural Department, then, this means…" he muttered as he turned to gape at Huo Ling.

Huo Ling smiled. This is the reason why he introduced Yi Bing and Jin Wu to the Supernatural Department. "Since both of us 'brothers' have eyes, we are the only ones who can 'see' the supernatural beings. And Hao Baiyun still doesn't know that the culprit that he and Gu Xingfeng are looking for is a supernatural being. But, they will know this sooner than later." His eyes narrowed.

Mo Shi also fell silent. They know that Hao Baiyun and Gu Xingfeng are no ordinary humans, so they must have their own means to get to where they are today. Yi Bing also knows this, while Jin Wu isn't interested and just focused on his food.

"Once they find out, they will have no choice but to use us." Huo Ling continued. "Our task this time is not only just an assessment, but Hao Baiyun planning for the future. I can say that we both have the same plans." He said and smiled, feeling pleased.

Mo Shi stared at him with awe in his eyes. "This is really an amazing plan!" he said. Though, he what he really wanted to say is that Huo Ling is very calculating! But, since he is hugging Huo Ling's thigh now, he had to praise his thigh or else his thigh would kick him away!

"Then, you two will enter the entertainment circle?" Yi Bing asked as he looked at Huo Ling, and then Mo Shi.

Huo Ling's eyes brightened when he heard what Yi Bing said. "Although we have the capital, our face and skills, we can't mingle with the humans more than we already did." He said and humbly smiled. "So, we can't become actors." He said.

Mo Shi's lip twitched while Jin Wu's eyes are filled with amusement. But, Jin Wu also knows that Huo Ling said this because of Mo Shi. Mo Shi's family is in the entertainment circle, after all.

"But, we can be just assistants." Huo Ling said. "And, also… it is time for us to meet Li Fengxin." He added.
