However, there's one thing I couldn't understand. Normally, when someone is chosen as a substitute for the dead, it happens after they've realized they are deceased, informed by a Ghost Soldier, and they have to wait a full three years. But it sounded like Wang Duo was saying that the person had just died seven days ago. Could it be that they had some unknown opportunity that allowed them to seek a replacement to go to the Underworld in advance?
I voiced this question to Wang Duo as well, and he just shook his head, indicating he didn't know either. With no alternative, I went to wash up, thinking that I would ask my master later to understand, after which I lay on my bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. In my boredom, my mind returned to that same question.
