Chapter 200: Back to School (3)

The boatman was very nervous. He did not want to take up the request but his boss was paid an exorbitant amount of money by the passenger to go to the swamps. He stood on the boat, shaking with nervousness while he waited for the passenger.

It was broad daylight and yet, the locals did not dare to go anywhere near the swamps. There was a belief among the villagers that the swamp was cursed by a demoness who loved to lure nearby travelers sing her enchanted voice. People said that her voice was hypnotic, putting anyone who heard it under a charm. Whether it was during night or day, no man would be spared from her enchantment. Yes, she only preyed on men but if she happened to come across a pregnant woman, she would kill her and take the baby away.
