Kapitel 49: Chapter 49 Old Friends Parting by the River and Sea

```

"This incident occurred two weeks ago," Ministry Councillor Hu sighed and began to recount, "Two weeks ago at night, I suddenly heard a woman singing in my sleep.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to it until the next morning when the captain of the guard squad in the residence was found dead.

His death was particularly gruesome, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. He looked as though he had been scared to death.

Since then, every night, there would be the voice of a woman singing in our Hu Residence.

However, no matter how many people I take with me to search, we can never find where the singing is coming from.

Every morning, someone in the residence would be found dead, even if I gathered everyone together and none of us slept through the night.

The next day, people would still go missing and be found dead. Until now, nearly twenty people in the Hu Residence have perished.

Many servants have quit and left; a lot of people say that I am cursed."
