Afterlife Department

"You are not sure whether this oldest, and strongest, Deserter is involved with our task?" Huo Ling asked Yi Bing as they went to a café to talk.

Yi Bing nodded. "It isn't necessarily to be him." he said, then, paused. "But, it is not as if he is the only Deserter that is currently in the city." He told him.

Huo Ling's brow twitched in annoyance while Mo Shi's expression looked helpless, like he had nothing to live for.

"If you are able to sense other grim reapers around, don't approach them and avoid them instead." Jin Wu spoke.

"Why?" Mo Shi asked as he turned to him.

Jin Wu looked at him. "Because they might be a Deserter, and not an official grim reaper." He answered.

Mo Shi's face was covered in dark lines. He started to regret now that he went to accompany Huo Ling in his task, albeit there was an order. But, they, the Disciplinary Committee's, task is actually catching the Deserters and not just punishing the troublemakers. This made Mo Shi show a helpless expression again, as he recalled how powerful Deserters are based from what Jin Wu said earlier.

Setting aside their similarities with the official grim reapers where they also possess powers and same knowledge, the Deserters are more powerful than them, excluding the innate talent, because the Deserters aren't bound by the rules of the Afterlife Department anymore. They can learn whatever they want unlike when they were still official grim reapers and there were some knowledge forbidden of them to be learned.

Then, Mo Shi asked Jin Wu how can there be Deserters? Weren't they all bound by Shen Sheng's power through to the Conferment Seal on their bodies imprinted when they became grim reapers. Jin Wu's answer? Ask Yi Bing. The moment Jin Wu said this, the air around them instantly solidified.

Huo Ling, who was silently sitting on the side, curiously looked at them while Mo Shi immediately shrank his neck. But, Yi Bing's expression remained calm despite the low pressure he is exuding. Yi Bing knows that Jin Wu has already found out that he (YB) can remove Shen Sheng's Conferment Seal on their bodies.

Surprising, even if Jin Wu knew, he didn't say anything. Yi Bing didn't suspect Di San, nor Gu Shi, that they might have told Jin Wu about this. Yi Bing has never looked down on Jin Wu because he knows how capable Jin Wu is. This is also the reason why he doesn't clash with Jin Wu. Both of them respects the other.

Mo Shi naturally didn't ask Yi Bing. He doesn't dare. He fears Yi Bing. So, he can only bitterly look at Jin Wu again.

"What?" Jin Wu asked when he noticed Mo Shi's gaze on him.

"Nothing." Mo Shi answered and he immediately looked away.

Jin Wu didn't interrogate him and just sipped his drink.

"It's already late." Yi Bing said as he looked outside the glass wall. "Let's all have a rest for tonight. Let's resume our tasks tomorrow." He said.

"En." They all nodded in agreement. They paid their bill before they returned to the apartment.

…

Yuhua Entertainment, CEO's office.

In the darkness where only the light coming from the other side of the building could be used, a vibrating noise was heard followed by a mobile phone screen lighting up. But, surprisingly, this vibration didn't come from the cellphone albeit the screen shows that there was an incoming call. The vibration is coming from –

"Ahh…" a woman's voice which is filled with pleasure was heard as she sat on top of the table with her skirt lifted and her legs opened wide. There was something between her legs, which are sweating and trembling.

Mo Yang saw his mobile phone. The called is 'Mo Xi', his wife. But, he ignored the call until the call ended. His gaze then returned to the fair-skinned woman with a small and innocent face facing him with her pure-looking bright eyes. But, this clean appearance of hers is ruined with the saliva flowing out of her mouth; her cheeks that are flushed in pleasure and her top is wide open, revealing her full breasts; adding on to her skirt that is now folded to her waist due to her squirming on top of the expensive table until she lied on her back on it, looking as if someone to be sacrificed.

It was as if a coincidence that her lower body is facing Mo Yang, revealing the place between her legs that are opened wide, where a device that is trembling, making her body also tremble, was inserted. The pants of Mo Yang became tight due to this stimulating scene, but he suppressed his desire.

He slowly rose from his seat and walked to the table where the woman is. Her whole body is bathed in sweat, the smell mixed with her perfume which assailed Mo Yang's nostrils, making his heart, and his lower body, burned with desire. But, as soon as the woman turned her head to face him when she sensed him approach her, Mo Yang abruptly stopped after he saw her face.

The woman smiled and opened her mouth to speak. "Will you just watch me?" she asked in a coy tone.

It broke the fantasy in Mo Yang's mind. He looked at the woman before he pulled her down from the table, then pushed her down to the floor.

"Ah!" the woman exclaimed in surprise, though there is a smile on her face. She showed him a provoking smile as she fully removed her clothes, revealing her bare body.

Mo Yang, who is on top of the woman, stared at her entire body and his gaze burned when he looked at her lower body where the device is still inserted to, and is dripping with an ambiguous liquid. He reached his hand out and removed the device, which made the woman moan and squirmed her body. Then, he replaced the device and their lower bodies touched, making the woman scream in ecstasy.

As pants and moans together with the woman's voice screaming in pleasure filled the dark office that has two intertwined figures on the cold floor having a passionate activity, the muted mobile phone lit up again and, suddenly, the table shook after the two figures accidentally hit it, making the mobile phone fall right next to them.

Mo Yang's gaze fell on the screen of the mobile phone and saw that it was Mo Yuan, his son, calling. The call ended, and he was about to ignore his phone when a message appeared on the screen that was locked, so only the first few words can be seen.

Dad. Mom was sent to the hospital. Are you going home now??

Mo Yang's gaze on his phone was indifferent and he ignored it again. Due to inactivity, the screen darkened, returning the darkness in the room. Mo Yang felt the woman's arms wrapped around his neck and he turned his attention back to her. He leaned down, then kissed her.

Their tongues intertwined, along with their bodies, as they continued.

…

Trainees' dormitory building, midnight.

Shasha, who went back to their dormitory building to fetch Lin Lan's things from their room, is now descending the stairs while she clutched the straps of the backpack tight. Lin Lan, due to her accident, fell into a coma. But, because she was still a trainee, the company decided to terminate her contract because it wasn't known when she will be waking up.

Although the company has already paid for her hospital fees, it was also due to this why they wanted to terminate her contract. They can't lose any more money. Lin Lan is just a trainee yet they lost money more than what she could have earned for them. Not to mention that she hasn't even earned anything for them yet since she hasn't debuted yet.

Shasha can understand that entertainment companies aren't a charity organization. It was already kind of them that they paid for Lin Lan's medical fees. But, she still can't help but weep because Lin Lan's dream has to end here before it could even start. Lin Lan's leg was already a waste, not to mention that she hit her head. The hospital yet to know whether Lin Lan would have amnesia, worse, she will become a fool, thus, they are waiting for her to wake up.

Shasha wanted to help Lin Lan, but she is also just a trainee who hasn't debuted yet so she can't plead for the company to not terminate Lin Lan's contract yet.. She has already heard of the unspoken rules, of course, yet she just can't do it. Even if Lin Lan is her friend, and she will be treated as a hypocrite, she just can't sacrifice herself and become dirty! Not to mention that she is disgusted and loathes this kind of thing, she also knows that the result is not certain even if she already sacrificed herself!
