Afterlife Department

S City, Supernatural Department.

Hao Baiyun looked at the two young men before them with a complicated gaze. "You indeed have a good knowledge about the supernatural world." He said as he looked at the young man with amber iris.

The young man with the amber iris said that he has amber iris instead of black iris like the common people in their country have was because when his mother gave birth to him, something supernatural happened. Everyone was shocked when they saw his amber iris and his parents were scared, especially his mother whose face became paler after she gave birth to him. So, not long after, they abandoned him by leaving him in the orphanage where he grew up later.

While he grew up in the orphanage, he was alienated as expected, but not only due to the different color of his iris. It was also because he can see whatever other people can't and he even talks with whatever it is that he see. This made the children, and later the staff, of the orphanage, alienate him. Fortunately, he wasn't starved or bullied, though, just like what happens in the movies or dramas.

As for the other young man with white iris, which extremely shocked them after this young man removed his contact lenses, he said that something stole his eyesight as a human. He didn't know what it was, and he was scared to know what it is. Later, though, he unexpectedly was able to see the supernatural world.

"I was also abandoned by my parents." The young man with the white iris, Jiang Yin, said. "Fortunately, brother Yin guided me in life and then we became sworn brothers." He explained.

Jing Yu curiously looked at Jiang Yin and then raised his hand to wave it in front of Jiang Yin, confirming that he is really blind. At first, they thought that the elder one, Jiang Yan, was wearing contact lenses. They never thought that it was actually Jiang Yin who is wearing contact lenses, and the real color of his eyes really shocked them!

"What do you say, young master?" Fei Xuli asked after he observed the two young men who are in the living room while Jing Yu entertain them.

Fortunately, these two young men are sensible and didn't ask many questions about their Supernatural Department. They sincerely wanted to work with them.

"If not for the heavy yin surrounding them, I would not be convinced despite the color of their eyes as their evidence." Hao Baiyun said with a sigh.

Fei Xuli can't see the yin that Hao Baiyun is talking about since he is just an ordinary human. But, Jing Yu is half a human thus he didn't say anything earlier to interrupt the Jiang siblings, though they aren't related by blood. They took on the surname of the director of the orphanage, which already is very kind of the director of the orphanage.

Other directors of the orphanages, who would be similarly scared, definitely wouldn't let these two weird children take their surname, added to the fact that it also makes them feel shame.

"Then, we will take them with us?" Fei Xuli asked.

Hao Baiyun nodded. "It is worth a try. They are weaker than us, and if they would do anything to wrong us, we can easily clean them up." he said.

Fei Xuli nodded in agreement. "I will notify Zi Chen, Lan Tian, Zheng Jian and Jin Chulin then." He said. "It is coincidence that we are also short of hands right now." He added.

These four people still can't return because they are still working on the tasks that Hao Baiyun gave them. So, it is really a timely blessing the arrival of Jiang Yan and Jiang Yin.

"En." Hao Baiyun nodded. "Their abilities, although a curse for them, is a blessing for us." he said.

Fei Xuli smiled. "Yes." he nodded as he looked at the Jiang siblings. "It must be a fate for us to meet them." he said.

Among them members of the Supernatural Department, only Hao Baiyun and Jing Yu can see qi, yin and yang energy. For the rest, they are all ordinary humans, including Fei Xuli. As to why they joined the Supernatural Department, they have strange backgrounds that couldn't be said. It was already fortunate for them to have someone help them, and it is more of a blessing to them that it was Hao Baiyun who helped them and now, became their leader.

The corners of Hao Baiyun's lips were pulled down when he heard what Fei Xuli said. "'fate'…" he muttered. "Is there still no lead on the task that I gave you?" he asked Fei Xuli. He asked him to search the people in the supernatural world who knows about the exchanging of fates.

Whether they only know, or they also have the skill to do it, they have yet to find out.

"I apologize, young master. I still haven't found anyone." Fei Xuli said and lowered his head in shame.

Hao Baiyun shook his head. "It is fine. This matter is a taboo, after all, so who would dare speak of it?" he said and sighed. "Be more discreet in looking for these people, just to be safe." He warned him.

"Yes, young master. I definitely will." Fei Xuli nodded. His expression is solemn.

If the mortal world is already chaotic, then how much more is it in the supernatural world? Especially since they have devices that is beyond science and can secure a kill when they finally make their move. Not to mention that these things can't even be detected by the cameras, nor can even be proven by science! So, it is not only troublesome, but more dangerous!

Especially this matter of exchanging of fates. Who knows who would investigate Hao Baiyun's people, especially Fei Xuli and the other four who are just ordinary humans, and change their fates in order to kill them? So, Hao Baiyun really feels scared for them. Now, the cases they are handling are becoming more dangerous!

…

"You… are really…!" Mo Shi said as he looked at Huo Ling with a complicated gaze as his eye color returned to black from white.

They returned to the apartment where they are currently staying. They told Hao Baiyun and Fei Xuli that they have come from the rural area and just recently moved to the city to find more opportunity for work, but they also already expected to fail because of their peculiarity. Thus, when they heard about Supernatural Department, they already signed up.

"What am I? Awesome?" Huo Ling said and grinned. He has no plan to change back his eye color as he lazed down the bed.

Mo Shi frowned. He agrees that Huo Ling indeed is awesome for thinking this plan of joining the Supernatural Department using a tragic backstory to deceive Hao Baiyun and his subordinates. But, after seeing Huo Ling's grin and heard his smug tone, Mo Shi doesn't want to admit it!

"No. I want to say that you are stupid." he told him.

As expected, the smile on Huo Ling's face disappeared and he immediately jumped up from his bed. He turned and glared at Mo Shi.

Mo Shi placed his hands on his waist as he faced Huo Ling. "What happens after we were done with our task?" he asked him. "Even if we erase their memories of us, they are much more than the normal humans, especially that Hao Baiyun!" he told Huo Ling. "And that Jing Yu. He feels strange!" he added.

Huo Ling was about to nod to what Mo Shi said when his attention was caught with what he said in the end. "You are right…" he muttered. "That Jing Yu indeed seems strange." He said as his brows knitted when he recalled Jing Yu.

Mo Shi hummed. "Yes. This Jing Yu seems – " he said.

But, Huo Ling cut him off. " – childish." He said.

Mo Shi. "…" stop me… stop me from choking this guy! He thought as his face darkened.

Huo Ling gazed at the window as if he didn't see Mo Shi's dark expression. "It is surprising for Hao Baiyun to have a subordinate like him." he said.

Mo Shi took a deep breath to fight the urge of strangling Huo Ling. "Anyway, what do you plan to do afterwards?" he asked.

Huo Ling turned to him. "But, we have no other choice." He told him.

Mo Shi stared at him.

"We can't act as policemen or office workers since that will make us have to socialize with people." Huo Ling said. "That way, it will give us exposure and so will restrict our freedom. Our difference in habit from the humans will be found out by them." He explained. He looked at Mo Shi in the eyes. "Humans are curious by nature, aside from being greedy. The moment that they find something unusual, they will unravel the mystery behind it. And the more that they are unable to do it, the more that they will persist.." He told him.
