Not really. I mean, if they are, nobody can really see, hear or touch them, which seems like pretty good evidence that they don't exist. At least - you know, back home.
Ah... Another world where those things aren't around, hm? It's still so strange to think about! In mine, even people who weren't cultivators had to deal with the occasional angry stray spirit.
[don't be both he and i find it hilarious which is the true unfortunate thing here.]
Resentment, usually. Someone who passed away peacefully is more likely to be peaceful than someone who was murdered. The temperament of the person who died plays a factor, too. If a bitter person died naturally, they would probably be more likely to turn into a malevolent spirit than an easy-going person who died violently.
Nope! Those people are from a different world, I believe. These swords weren't sentient - not really, anyway. They were just malicious and liked to cause trouble.
[And also trick people into burying themselves and suffocating inside walls.]
My last bout of bullshit was run by a robot in a cowboy hat. You learn to get over it.
[There are like 1972863 other things she could have cited, but that's the first thing that comes to mind. I can't believe she's going to have to teach WWX about cowboys.]

Really? You don't have that sort of thing in your world? You know, spirits hanging out near places they died or places they loved in life.

[He props his chin up, delighted to chatter away about ghosts instead of stdemons.]
I've seen some unusual cases, too. Resentful swords, for example! Now those are an interesting sight.

Oh! You were the "wild west" one? [A BEAT.] ...What exactly is a cowboy? A cowherd? A boy that's also a cow?
no subject
A boy that's also a cow.
[NO]
But yeah, that was mine.

Ah... Haha, well. I can't say it's surprising to know someone who'd be in charge of something like that would find it hilarious.
no subject
Yeah. Can't wait to see who we've got this time around.
