The general overview of the underworld explained by the ghost attendant gave Jiandan a preliminary understanding of its operational mode. As for the suggestions on finding someone later on, they were of little use. After all, she was not really looking for a person, but rather for a missing piece of a soul—a task far more difficult than finding a person.
"If someone has lost a soul or an animus, where should one look?" Jiandan continued to ask.
"Ah? A soul or an animus?" The ghost attendant was evidently quite surprised. Souls and animi were not entirely beyond the cycle of reincarnation; even if they entered the Reincarnation Pool and were reborn as humans, depending on which part was lost, they would either end up mentally disabled, slow-witted, or even die prematurely.
