Afterlife Department

In every world, there will always be people who will be protagonists. In this world, Lei Shan is its protagonist. And 0007 is the one in charge of him.

"Don't be too cold, 0001~" Qi Shan – code 0007, said as he waved his hand at Yi Bing.

"I've always been cold." Yi Bing said as he blocked the spike made of earth that suddenly appeared on the ground! Yi Bing's ice cut the giant spike in pieces.

Qi Shan laughed. As his code implies, he is the seventh person who worked in the Afterlife Department. The bad blood between him and Yi Bing… it's a product of stupidity that came from his youth. Qi Shan was young when he entered the Afterlife Department. But, he has a great potential. Adding to the fact that a popular secret agent has similar code to him, his head became really, really big.. When he heard of Yi Bing – the first person to enter the Afterlife Department, his nose was raised every time he sees him. However, Yi Bing – like his power, has always been cold. He is also indifferent. He never cared for anything. Thus, Qi Shan – out of impulse, he challenged Yi Bing.

However, to everyone's surprise, the moment Yi Bing heard the word 'duel', before Qi Shan and everyone could react, he froze Qi Shan! Qi Shan felt humiliated, and became more embarrassed when he hadn't left the infirmary for one year. When Shen Taizi – Shen Sheng, heard the commotion, he values peace the most and so, to compensate Qi Shan, he assigned Qi Shan to the Important Souls – souls that has the biggest connection to its world, or the so-called 'protagonists'. This also to make Qi Shan shift his attention to something else, since many things are happening when protagonists are around.

It turned out effective. Qi Shan really had never bothered Yi Bing again. However, sometimes when they meet, Qi Shan would try to annoy Yi Bing. Until now. "Aia. 0001, you're really strong~" Qi Shan said. Even if he already matured, yet the humiliation he suffered before still irritates him. Thus, he also makes Yi Bing irritated.

Yi Bing looked at the biggest annoyance in his life. "You should focus more on your task – " he said. " – brat."

A vein popped in Qi Shan's forehead. However, he didn't explode. He can control his temper now that he grew up. He could only click his tongue and turn to Lei Shan – the current Important Soul he's assigned to. "Let's go." He told Lei Shan.

"Mn." Lei Shan nodded. He doesn't know Huo Ling, anyway, and so got nothing to do with him. Thus, he left with Qi Shan.

Huo Ling turned to Yi Bing, his eyes are asking. "My colleague at work." Yi Bing said and left the area. Huo Ling followed him. "The one who's with him is his assignment." He explained.

'assignment'? Huo Ling thought. Yi Bing has said another word he doesn't understand. What does he mean by 'assignment'? The film emperor is Yi Bing's colleague's assignment? What will he do to him? He was puzzled, but Yi Bing didn't provide any more answer.

Huo Ling helplessly followed Yi Bing with a bellyful of questions. Meanwhile, Qi Shan and Lei Shan went to a shade. They're across the entertainment company where Lei Shan worked before he died. "Do you remember how you died?" Qi Shan asked. After one month, Lei Shan could finally speak. He used his power of lightning to zap his body, stimulating some bodily functions that could still work again.

"Killed…" Lei Shan answered.

"Do you remember who killed you?" Qi Shan asked. Even if they are grim reapers, but they wouldn't know the people involved with their assignment. One reason, they might suddenly kill their assignment's murderer out of impulse. And Qi Shan has been impulsive before. Thus, they are in the dark of their assignment's death. They could only act as detectives to unknot their assignment's heart and make them move on to their next life.

Lei Shan shook his head and breathed. Unfortunately, he couldn't recover his other memories. He only remembers his work, and everything that happened before he died. This memory he lost – of his death, must be caused by trauma. When he and Qi Shan went to the police station to know the cause of his death, they found out it was of car accident. It was said he was drunk driving. Many people – mostly his fans, didn't believe it. However, they were forced to believe it. Since he's already dead.

Lei Shan looked at the gaping hole in his chest. Someone killed him. His death was covered up. His death report was forged. Lei Shan thinks the reason he came back is to uncover his death, and avenge himself.

Qi Shan pondered. The ability users are now awakening one after another. It's too chaotic right now, but later they will meet Lei Shan and will become Lei Shan's followers since Lei Shan is a dual-ability user. One ability of him is lightning, and the other is wind. He can summon rain and conjure up a storm. He's too frightening. But, right now, he's still weak. His bodily functions working again is due to his awakening. Right now, he can't even power up a flashlight nor charge a cellphone. Qi Shan lamented. Lei Shan is too weak right now. If by chance, someone he knew would see him – worse, his murderer will meet him, he'll be killed again! For now, he has to hide Lei Shan.

One of his solution is to have him disguise as a businessman and cover up his face with fake beard and fake mole. Qi Shan let Lei Shan borrow some of his work clothes, and let Lei Shan carry his suitcase.

Hmn – Qi Shan nodded as he looked at Lei Shan. He looked like my bodyguard. He looked away to hide his smile and held back himself not to laugh. This world's protagonist… he's reduced as my lackey!

If Lei Shan knows what Qi Shan was thinking, he'd tear him to pieces with his wind ability and burn him to crisp with his lightning tribulation!
