Chapter 58 - Night Fire (1)

At first, there were a few families who heard some soft footsteps at night, but the strange noises became louder and louder, to the point where almost everyone living around could hear them, but they all dared to listen, not daring to say a word.

As a result, on the night of the first month of 1957, a huge tragedy occurred.

As soon as the night came, the families began to return to their rooms, pretending to enjoy the night, the moon had not yet come out, and they all turned on their lights, afraid that something unclean would come into the room at night, and this was not a habit for a day or two, as the people around them were known as the Lunar race, because at night the lights would be on until dawn.

However, these few days were rather strange. In the village, there was a blackout. No one could turn on the lights, so they could only use candles instead. However, the cold wind rustled in the night, giving off an eerie feeling.

This time, they had hugged each other early in the morning. None of them could sleep, nor did they dare to walk on the ground. Sure enough, that night, they heard the sound of a woman crying and whispering.

Some of the residents here had lived here for more than half a year, so they weren't surprised to hear this kind of sound once or twice. However, they found that the women tonight spoke differently.

Tonight's women cried as they began to speak, but the words they spoke were different. What she said was, "Today, all of you will die!"

These words were repeated a dozen times, and everyone's hearts were filled with fear and unease. But just as they were extremely worried, all of the candles in the houses suddenly fell to the ground, igniting in a split-second.

Although candles could be used to burn things, the rate of burning was very slow. After all, this wasn't an oil lamp. It could be extinguished with a blow. Thus, it was unlikely to cause a big fire.

However, for some unknown reason, the moment the candle fell to the ground, it was as if the entire room was set ablaze. Everyone within the room had no time to escape as their bodies were completely engulfed in flames!

The raging inferno burned for more than three hours. During this time, it could not be extinguished no matter what method was used. Especially when the flames were spraying water, they did not extinguish, but instead increased in intensity!

Finally, in desperation, it became pitch black.

A strong gust of wind blew over, turning the charred charcoal and the human's body into ashes, naturally rolling them together in the air.

The pile of ash floated in the air, as if it had a life of its own. It formed the face of a woman. The woman floated in the air and said to the people who came to save the fire, "If anyone offends me, I will be the prisoner!"

After saying that, the woman also disappeared, because they had never seen her again. In short, many people in the future believed that this place was the doing of the soul of the resident of General Palace!

From then on, this place became a piece of empty land. No one dared to touch this uninhabited land.

However, after the reform and opening up, in 1982, people's living conditions gradually improved. One after another, enterprises appeared, and the real estate that appeared in the market also became a rising industry.

No one would dare to take over a piece of land that had been left empty for 30 or 40 years. This was because every single successor would always accidentally die, or perhaps something bad would happen to their family. So, everyone could only look at this treasure land with their eyes, but no one dared to make a move on it!
