Afterlife Department

Chapter 108 - Playground

"I don't know why, but I feel happy and relaxed when I go to a playground." Huo Ling said as they walked to the nearest park. "It gives me peace when I see it." He said.

"Did something special happen in a playground?" Yi Bing asked as they looked at the kids playing in the monkey bar and the sandbox when they arrived.

"Hmm…" Huo Ling muttered as they entered the playground. He flew to the slide, his soul's tail is fluttering. He inspected the slide before he flew to the monkey bar and flew around its bars before he stopped when he felt dizzy. Next is he went to the swing and imitated the kid swinging before he stopped when he felt bored.

Yi Bing let Huo Ling play. He sat on the bench and watched the lively playground filled with kids and their respective parents and babysitters.

"Ma. There's a person sitting on the bench!" a child told his mother. "Ma." He called again to catch the attention of his mother.

"What are you saying? There's no one on the bench." his mother said.

"There is." The child said.

"There's no one, okay?" his mother said.

"But, there is!" the child insisted as he pointed Yi Bing. "The man is tall and wearing dark clothes. He's handsome!" he said.

The mother's face paled in horror and she slowly turned to the empty bench.

"He's also staring at us – " the child added when his mother immediately picked him up and they left the place.

Yi Bing who was treated as a ghost. "…" well, children have more sensitive senses than the adults. He thought. Because you grow up, your tasks will increase thus making your attention be divided more. Unlike the children who only need to eat, play and sleep, the sensitivity of the adults' senses lessened.

Huo Ling dived in the sandbox and then emerged. His head was inside the overturned bucket by the children. "WAAAH! Yi Bing, it's too dark! Am I still underground?!" he asked in panic.

"Pft – " Yi Bing hold back his laughter as he rose from the bench and walked towards the sandbox. The children still haven't noticed there's a ghost in the middle of them. He leaned down and picked up Huo Ling's soul, but his hand touched the bucket and the bucket moved.

"Ah?" the children said when they saw the bucket suddenly turned. They stared blankly at it. Their small mind trying to process what had just happened. They are minding their own business, but the bucket moved without them touching it.

Then, they ignored it.

Yi Bing and Huo Ling. "…" well, that're kids for you. They ignore what they do not understand.

"Found anything?" Yi Bing asked.

"No." Huo Ling sighed. He felt upset.

"Don't rush it." Yi Bing told him. "Your memories will naturally come back." He said.

"Okay…" Huo Ling said. His shoulders fell in disappointment. This is the first time he felt defeated. He felt frustrated at himself.

Yi Bing noticed Huo Ling's mood was dampened. He let him be. It wouldn't be good to always comfort him, or he'll be emotionally dependent to him and this will backfire on both of them. Huo Ling won't be able to decide on his own, and he will have to stay by Huo Ling's side until Huo Ling won't depend on him anymore.

He breathed a sigh. Being a grim reaper is too hard.

S City Police Station, night.

(Trigger warning: sexual content ahead)

Ye Ting was huddled in the corner with only a blanket and a pillow for him to sleep on. The jail cell is cold. Su Lin, Xu Ke, Lu Ming and Rong Zhe were already sleeping.

He gritted his teeth. Lu Ming had it better since he has the most loving parents, thus Lu Ming's cell looked better than him. Lu Ming also has connections with Hao Baiyun – Gu Xingfeng's husband. Rong Zhe's father, although he was disappointed in Rong Zhe, but he still had someone in the station look after him. Xu Ke and Su Lin were already used to this pitiful life. Only him, who was abandoned by his mother, was in full discomfort.

It was almost midnight. Although the station provided them with dinner, but he can't sleep tonight and was tossing and turning he had become hungry again. However, he cannot call a police officer to ask for food. No one is around aside from his friends who are sleeping. The hallway is empty, and also dark. He still hasn't forgotten what happened today.

Eunice. He thought when he finally remembered the girl's name. She tasted really sweet, and her skin is supple and soft. Her cries also are arousing… "Hahh…" he breathed as he held his organ. He tried to remember Eunice's angelic face, and it's as if he really can see her standing in front of him, slowly taking off her clothes. "I really regret not having you first, baby." He grinned at her when he saw her walking towards him. Her body is naked, and her pink nipples looked tasty because of her chest bouncing. "Come here, baby. You'll haunt me, right? Come. Let's both climax together~" he told her as she knelt before him and caressed his thighs before she lowered her head to blow him. "Ngghh…" he groaned when he felt her take him in. It's so warm inside her mouth that he almost released. "Go on, baby~" he told her. His eyes are bloodshot and had a wild look in them.

Suddenly, his eyes widened when he saw Jack's face. Eunice had changed to Jack! His face registered horror and when he's about to scream, Jack had covered his mouth and pinned him down. No… no! he thought as he shook his head and tried to struggle, but Jack is overpowering him!

"So it's you who harmed my sister…" Jack said as he glared at him. Then, he inserted his thick organ inside him.

Ye Ting's cries were drowned in his throat and his tears fell when he felt his body felt like it was ripped apart! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! I'M GONNA DIE! He screamed in his mind as he tried to break free, but Jack was overpowering him and started to thrust inside him. He whimpered and his body shook in fright.

"You like sex, right? I'll give it to you – for free!" Jack told Ye Ting.

Ye Ting's eyes rolled. He wanted to scream, but he can't. He felt helpless and powerless as he let Jack play with his body.

The next day.

"Ugh - !" Hao Baiyun covered his mouth in disgust when he smelled that musky scent. Could it be - ? he thought and immediately moved away from the area.

"Xiao Yun." Gu Xingfeng called when he saw Hao Baiyun. "Why did you come here?" he asked.

"I am looking for Lu Ming. How is he?" he asked and looked at the forensic team inspecting Ye Ting's cell.

"He and his other friends are in the interrogation room with Xiao Jiang." Gu Xingfeng answered.

"How did Ye Ting…" die. Hao Baiyun wanted to ask when they suddenly heard a scream of a woman.

"AH TING!!!" it was Ye Tong. She was crying as she pushed the police officers crowding around Ye Ting's cell. "HA!" she loudly gasped when she saw Ye Ting's torn clothes and bruises. "Who… who did this?!" she asked as she turned to glare at the police officers. "How can this happen to my son?! Who killed him!? Who raped him?!" she shrieked. She's about to reach for her son's corpse when Zhang Bao pulled her while Ke Congyi assisted with the forensic team to hurry up their work.

"Ma'am. You can't interrupt with their work!" Zhang Bao told her.

"How can I not interrupt?! That's my son!" Ye Tong's shrilly voice rang in the hallway. However, the police officers doing their desk works didn't dare approach the vicinity.

Gu Xingfeng's face is dark but he's holding back his anger. "Xing-ge…" Hao Baiyun called as he tapped Gu Xingfeng's shoulder. "Let's leave this to your subordinates. They know what to do. You should take care of Ye Tong first." He told him.

Gu Xingfeng nodded and held Hao Baiyun's hand tight. "You go see Lu Ming. He's terrified with what just happened. His cell is near Ye Ting's, too." He told Hao Baiyun.

Hao Baiyun nodded. "I will." He said and immediately went to the interrogation room.

Meanwhile, Gu Xingfeng nodded at Zhang Bao to take Ye Tong to his office.

"Where are you taking me?! NO! Let go of me!" Ye Tong screamed as if she was violated and Zhang Bao reddened in both shame in anger. However, he still continued to politely lead Ye Tong to Gu Xingfeng's office.

The other police officers all looked away. Xue Liping, who just came back after he printed the documents, threw a sympathetic glance at Zhang Bao. Then, he went to the interrogation room to send the papers to Jiang Xinduo.
