Duanmuchong was a little surprised that this immortal actually valued a descendant of the mortal world so much. You must know that it is impossible for ordinary people in the immortal world to come to the ghost world to inquire about the life and death of a mortal. In Duanmuchong's opinion,

, the person Jin Lin wants to investigate

He was probably a very important person, so he did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: "Shangxian, I can indeed check it here, but the list is very large, and there are many people. Please have breakfast, and after a short rest, I will accompany you

The Immortal will go and find it himself."

"No, no, no, I don't have the habit of having breakfast. Let's go now." Jin Lin thought of that "tap-tap-tap" again, and he had long since lost all appetite.

Originally, once you practice to a certain level, you don't need to eat three meals a day like ordinary people.

Since the Immortal was so anxious, Duanmuchong had to act more actively. At that moment, Duanmuchong took Jin Lin directly to the "Soul Affairs Department" in Shadow City.

The so-called Soul Affairs Department is actually, to put it bluntly, an organization similar to the Civil Affairs Department in the mortal world. It manages the people under its control, records their lists, files, etc. However, this Soul Affairs Department is a little different, because it mainly registers people who have died in the mortal world.

The soul of a person who comes to the world of spirits and ghosts.

The Department of Soul Affairs is a huge and busy office. At first glance, it does not look much different from some of the public institutions in Jinlin's previous life, except that it is very large. In the Department of Soul Affairs, countless officials and staff are constantly busy with various tasks.

Of course, these officials and service personnel are all ghosts or spirit bodies without exception. In a sense, they are also dead people. Under normal circumstances, the spirit ghost world does not have the kind of "living people" like the mortal world.

"people".

At the door of the Department of Soul Affairs, city guards were constantly escorting groups of souls in and out.

Those souls don't look much different from ordinary living people. They still look like they were when they were alive, and they even wear the clothes they wore before death. It's just that their bodies look very light, as if they can be blown away by a gust of wind at any time.

. Moreover, their bodies are a bit vague. According to the world of spirits and ghosts, their bodies have a relatively low degree of cohesion.

These souls are basically mortals who died due to various reasons, and then the souls naturally entered the ghost world. The place where they appeared in the ghost world is related to the place and time when they died. The ghost world, including the City of Shadows,

In a city, the most important task is to gather the souls within its jurisdiction.

When the officials of the Department of Soul Affairs saw Duanmuchong arriving, except for one official who came to greet Duanmuchong, the rest of them did not stand up to salute. Instead, they were busy with the matters at hand. This shows how busy the affairs here are.

Duanmuchong took Jin Lin directly into a large hall, which was the archives of the Department of Soul Affairs. In the archives, there were many things like bookshelves, and these bookshelves were filled with countless jade slips.

Duanmuchong pointed to the bookshelf and said: "Please take a look, these are the jade slips of the registration list."

These jade slips are all jade with ordinary texture and do not have much spiritual energy, so they cannot be used as spiritual stones. However, ordinary jade slips used for engraving information do not have high requirements on the material themselves.

The room full of jade slips shocked Jin Lin: "So many?"

Duanmuchong nodded: "Yes, our Shadow City has to deal with hundreds of thousands of souls from the mortal world every day. Every soul will leave a record here. Not only human souls are recorded here, but also other souls.

All creatures that can produce souls will be registered here after their death and their souls enter the scope of our Shadow City. If these are included, the number to be recorded in a day will exceed half a million."

Hundreds of thousands of souls have to be registered in a day, and the list exceeds 100 million in a year. After so many years, the list is really huge. Duanmuchong has been here for five thousand years. In these five thousand years, Shadow

The number of souls traveling through the city is probably almost 500 billion!

Jin Lin estimated that based on the lifespan of an average mortal of several decades, there are more than 6 billion people on the earth, and the number of people dying in a year is almost 100 million. As for the Zero Source Star where Chixia Island is located, the population of the entire planet is

How many there are is not very clear. Although Zero Source Star is very huge, it is almost all ocean, and the land is not too big. There may be about a few billion mortals.

If you put it this way, this Shadow City actually corresponds to an entire planet of mortals?

Thinking of this, Jin Lin asked Duanmuchong: "What is the division of cities in the spirit ghost world? How many cities and provinces are there?"

Duanmuchong replied: "Shangxian, our spirit and ghost world has twenty-three provinces, each province has a city and dozens of cities. There are 87 cities like Shadow City in the spirit and ghost world.

Twelve, plus twenty-three prefectural cities, a total of 895 cities."

Eight hundred and ninety-five cities! Jin Lin was really shocked when he heard this number! If each city receives almost 100 million souls a year like Shadow City, doesn’t that mean that within a year

There are tens to hundreds of billions of souls who have entered the ghost world! Then, the total number of people in the mortal world must be at least several trillion.

How big is the mortal world?

The Zero Origin Star where Chixia Island and the Shenzhou Continent are located is just a planet in the entire mortal world, a small part of the mortal world. What Lao Tao said has also been confirmed in the spirit ghost world.
