"You can't be a grim reaper. You're too cute to be a grim reaper."
"..." The little animal couldn't even reply to Bai Chen's words because it was too speechless.
"Don't call me cute," the animal finally answered. "And I must tell you that I am not a dog, but I am a wolf."
Bai Chen burst into laughter when he heard the animal say that it was a wolf. "You are too small and too cute to be a wolf! Are you a baby wolf?"
The little wolf was still floating in the air, but all of a sudden, it jumped onto the ground with its four legs before running towards Bai Chen and biting the man's arm. The man screamed in pain as the little wolf's sharp teeth pierced his arm.
"Do you think I'm still too small and too cute to be a wolf?" The wolf returned to its position, but instead of hovering or standing on its four legs, it proudly stood on its two legs with its arms folded across its chest.
Bai Chen was still wincing in pain as his right hand grabbed his left arm which had just been bitten by the not-so-cute wolf. He thought it was just a dream, but when he could feel the pain and also see the blood flowing from his injured arm, he knew he wasn't dreaming.
"This wasn't my dream, was it? Who are you? And where am I now?"
Being interrogated by the man once more, the wolf heaved a sigh the way humans usually sigh. "You can call me Bai Lang, and even if I'm not the grim reaper, I'm indeed the one who ended your life."
Ignoring the ridiculous wolf name, Bai Chen focused on the wolf's next explanation. "So, you admit that you have killed me? Why did you kill me? I'll report you to the police!"
Bai Chen was so angry that he threatened the little wolf, but the wolf only chuckled instead of feeling scared. "Don't you remember that you are dead? You won't be able to report me to the police, young man."
"..." Bai Chen could no longer answer because he just realized that he had died.
"You better listen to me carefully because I will explain everything to you now," the little wolf spoke again when it didn't get any reply from the blue-eyed man. "I was the one who ended your life, but there are reasons for that."
The little wolf was in serious mode, and Bai Chen solemnly replied, "What reason? Did I commit too many sins in my life that you decided to snatch my soul when I was just about to have sex for the first time?"
Over and over again, Bai Chen kept mentioning how he was going to have sex for the first time. It caused the little wolf to roll its blue eyes.
"Yes, you did commit too many sins," replied the wolf. "Firstly, you didn't get a job right away after you graduated last month. Instead of seriously looking for a job, you were busy dating your girlfriend. Second, you were too stingy with your sister. Not only that, but you also stole her pocket money, causing her to fail to buy her favorite Barbie. And third—"
"Wait!"
The wolf named Bai Lang couldn't even continue his speech because Bai Chen suddenly shouted.
"What kind of bullshit is that? I just graduated last month, so it's only natural that I haven't gotten a job yet. And I didn't steal my sister's pocket money! I only borrowed the money, and I would return it if I didn't die!"
Bai Chen denied the accusations, but Bai Lang continued to have a stoic expression on its face as it said, "And thirdly, you forced your girlfriend to have sex with you when she wasn't ready."
"..." This time, Bai Chen couldn't protest anymore.
"And what's worse, you were forcing her to have sex with you when you don't even love her."
"..." Bai Chen didn't dare to refute.
Not receiving any refusal from Bai Chen, Bai Lang sighed once again. "Now that you have finally confessed your sins, I will give you punishment―"
"Wait!" Bai Chen once again interrupted Bai Lang's words. "I did not confess my sins, so you can't―"
"I'll give you two choices," this time, it was Bai Lang who cut the man off. "First, just go straight to Hell and get your punishment there. Second, atone for your sins by completing the mission I'm about to give you. The choice is yours, young man."
Bai Chen didn't dare to speak carelessly because the white wolf had a grim expression on its face. The little wolf was serious, and he knew that what he was facing now was no joke either.
"I don't want to go to Hell! My mother told me that Hell is a scary place! I definitely won't go to Hell!" Without much deliberation, Bai Chen immediately voiced his decision.
Grinning at the sight of the brown-haired man's hasty decision, Bai Lang then continued, "So, you're going to choose the second option? But, I have to say that the mission will be dangerous for you. You might end up dying again in the process. You will be in a new world to complete the missions, so you will not meet your friends and family again. But, if you successfully complete the missions, you will have eternal happiness in your life."
"..." Bai Chen couldn't answer right away this time.
He had died once, and if he died again, then what would happen to him? And he would never see his family again after this? That sounded very lonely.
He made serious considerations this time, but in the end, he made a firm decision, "I will complete the mission. I may die in the process, but I will have the opportunity to find eternal happiness, right? And I can also find new friends and family in the new world, right? Then, I'll do the missions you will give me."
