Afterlife Department

Chapter 241 - Mafia

Di San's face is very dark after they knocked unconscious the mafia that tried to kill them after Huo Ling bumped into them and helped them. "Damn it…" he gritted his teeth.

Feng Er and Liu Lin were just silent.

"DAMN IT!" Di San kicked the chair on his side, only to see a gun was actually strapped underneath it. "…"

Feng Er and Liu Lin. "…"

"I'VE HEAD ENOUGH OF BOTH YI BING AND HUO LING!" Di San screamed in frustration.

Feng Er and Liu Lin. "…" I knew it.

Whenever they bumped with those two, something bad is about to happen.. However, since they have to protect the souls, whenever they currently don't have something to do, then they'd help protect Huo Ling.

Yet, it seems like Huo Ling is like the god of misfortune. He was always followed by misfortunes, and those who are with him will naturally be affected. Di San swears he would never, ever interact with Yi Bing and Huo Ling again, and would definitely avoid them if he'd see them.

"Let's go." Di San told them.

"Where to?" Feng Er and Liu Lin asked.

"Afterlife Department, of course! I can't wait to go back! I don't want to be plagued by misfortunes again!" Di San said.

Feng Er and Liu Lin looked at each other.

"What is it?" Di San nervously asked. He feels a foreboding feeling.

"… our space travelling device was broken because of the fused Soul Fragments." Feng Er calmly answered.

"And with out broken body, do you think it could bear to travel through the unstable space?" Liu Lin calmly added.

Yet, Di San's last calm finally flew out the window. "AAAAAAAH!!! This is driving me nuts!!! Yi Bing, you bastard! You're the other god of misfortune!" he screamed in frustration as he pulled his hair.

Feng Er and Liu Lin sighed before they looked at Si Shui who, despite Di San's screams when he's about to lose his sanity, is peacefully sleeping. How lucky it is to be Si Shui… both of them thought and also lied down on the floor to rest.

"If I'd just see them again - ! if I'd just see them again - !!!" Di San said as he trembled in anger.

"If you'd see them again, what?" Feng Er and Liu Lin asked.

"If I'd see them again, I'll ask Yi Bing to take Huo Ling with him and go far, very far away from me!" Di San answered.

Feng Er and Liu Lin. "…" very well. They thought and completely ignored Di San after.

One of the men in question, Yi Bing, was crawling out of the river where he fell. His body was soaked from head to feet, and his wet black suit perfectly hugged his body. His long hair was untied, and the red string tying it was floating in the water. Yi Bing combed his wet hair back with his fingers, exposing his pale face and cold expression while his other hand picked up the red string.

He walked out of the river, literally dripping wet with good looks. He looked around and then found a black and wide notebook lying on the grass. He walked towards it and picked it up before he patted the dirt off of it. He sighed. "So troublesome…" he muttered.

After the Soul Fragments fused, Di San called for an emergency exit for them in the interstellar world and they roamed around the unstable space made turbulent by the Soul Fragment that's with them. Yi Bing can't stand it, and he is worried for Huo Ling's soul. Thus, he took out his Death Note and forced reincarnated Huo Ling to the Normal World. Fortunately, it's just a Normal World. If it was a Special World and they arrived in a compromising situation… no one knows what's going to happen.

Yi Bing opened the Death Note and flipped the page to Huo Ling's profile page, then pressed the seventh tab. He swiped the page and went to the videos. There, he pressed a video and saw Huo Ling was hiding from a group of mercenaries.

He is wearing a black suit perfectly hugging his body paired with a black necktie and a black shirt underneath, and a pair of shiny black shoes with black socks. It made him blend with the darkness. However, these pitch-black clothes created a vivid contrast against his fair skin. His dark hair was combed back, exposing his fair and smooth forehead, as well as his exquisite phoenix eyes. His short hair highlighting his sharp features and the shape of his face.

Only one word could describe the present Huo Ling: elegant.

When Huo Ling was found out, he ran away while countering the fires against of his opponents. Then, during his escape, he met Di San's group and saved them before he ran away again, returning to the darkness once more.

The Death Note has a monitoring function. If Huo Ling was just there, he would say that the Death Note isn't a Death Note anymore but should be called 'Death iPad'. Unfortunately, he wasn't there. Yi Bing already kept the Death Note and frozen the water soaking his body before removing them. He is dry again.

"Now, then… let's go find the elegant subordinate Huo Ling." His lips curled up. "But before that…" he said and looked at Di San's group in the video.

Di San looked like in the best condition among them. Feng Er was covered in dust and was helped by Di San as she walked. Liu Lin's pale is paler than the usual. And Si Shui was unconscious, being carried by Liu Lin.

"I have to go find and help them first." He said before he disappeared.

Di San, Feng Er, Liu Lin and Si Shui currently are inside an abandoned apartment building in the suburbs. They still do not understand Huo Ling's current situation. To be safe, they disarmed the mercenaries that chased them after they split up with the others that are chasing Huo Ling. They also took away their phones and other communication devices.

"What should we do now?" Feng Er asked. After her rest, her body condition improved. However, their soul was shaken during their space travel, and so they needed to rest longer.

Liu Lin's body was okay now, but his soul, in the previous world, was injured, and added by the injury they suffered during their space travel, his condition worsened. Si Shui was the one affected the most this time. He is the weakest among them. Thus, after his soul was hit by the space waves, he was comatose.

Di San is in a better condition than them. To say, he only has an internal injury from being hit by the space waves. His face looked paler than usual, but he has a better complexion compared to Feng Er, Liu Lin and Si Shui. "How are your Death Notes?" he asked.

Aside from having the information about the souls' biography, Death Notes also can be used as a map, or have a monitoring function. Since they have no assignments, they use their Death Note for their private task like, currently, as a map.

They silently took out their Death Notes and are relieved to see they weren't damaged during the space travel. "It's working." Feng Er and Liu Lin answered.

"Scan the area where we're currently inn. We have to find a safer place." Di San said. Fortunately, they immediately figured out that this is a world dominated by mafias. Obviously, it is a dangerous world where fights can occur anywhere, and, worse, a death battle can begin.

Feng Er and Liu Lin nodded and started to scan their area. They don't need to worry about money, since their suitcase can replicate any object from any world. Thus, they never need to worry about adapting in any world. And so, they can lodge in any hotel. As long as it is safe…

It's not that they are afraid. It's just that they are currently in a weakened state. Feng Er can fight, as well as Liu Lin even if he has only one hand right now. But, in case if they would encounter a large-scale fight, it'd be very problematic for them. They can't use their power to help themselves since they are currently in a Normal World.

How inconvenient. "Found it." Liu Lin said. "We're currently in Area C, District 5. District 1, 2, 3 and 4 are under the government's protection. District 5, 6 and 7 are under the mafia faction. And District 8 and 9 are not under in any faction." He explained. "The hotel is in District 3. We can still teleport there." he told them.

District 3. There's still the District 4 to act as a shield from the District 5 where the mafia's rule begins.

Di San nodded. "Let's move now." He told them.

"Yes!" they answered. Liu Lin picked up Si Shui, and then they disappeared.

Yi Bing who arrived just in time to see the corner of the four's clothes before they were gone. "…" looks like they don't need me. I'll just find Huo Ling, then. He thought and then disappeared.
