“Until five years ago, this river was a popular place for suicide,” shi+ra told hirave expression
“Ah, no wonder”
Good-Natured Spirit let out a chilling chuckle while shi+ra found himself a spot to sit and meditate peacefully Today, till the sun sets in the east, he would absorb and refine so-called “Yin energy”
