She came secretly last night and didn't get a clear view. Now that she's allowed to attend the banquet today, why not be more open and confront the strange creature in this courtyard head-on to see what it's up to?
'Dong, dong dong qiang. Dong dong qiang.'
A burst of suona horns and drums sounded, and the full moon, which was originally in the middle of the day, suddenly dimmed, and a waning moon appeared, and the sky was about to darken.
A woman dressed in theatrical costume slowly walked out from the lotus platform, twirling her flowing sleeves!
Lotus platform!
Su Luo's pupils trembled slightly. Looking around, she realized that the banquet had been moved to the lotus platform in the back garden. The people who had eaten at the banquet had turned into life-sized paper figures, sitting in their seats with strange expressions, occasionally cheering for the stage.
The drumbeats grew louder and louder, and the suona horns became more and more prominent. Facing the lotus platform, Su Luo was able to hear the woman's lyrics clearly at close range.

Just as the last lyrics were finished, the woman suddenly fell backward to the ground with a soft thud, her eyes fixed on Su Luo.
Under Su Luo's gaze, a bloody mark began to appear on the woman's neck, gradually widening until a round head fell off and rolled to Su Luo's feet, its eyes still looking at her with a half-smile.

Ignoring the sounds, the head that had landed at Su Luo's feet suddenly moved closer and asked, "Miss, was my singing pleasant to hear?"
Seeing this, Su Luo remained silent for a few seconds, then bent down and gently lifted the head from below, carrying it to the lotus platform. He turned it over and pressed it back down.
As Su Luo moved, a handsome young man appeared before him, exactly like the elegant gentleman he had seen last night.
“Miss Min, no, or rather, the son-in-law of the Min family.”
"Can you still tell who you are?"
Hearing Su Luo's words, the woman whose head had just been pushed back trembled slightly and sat up stiffly. Despite being a woman, she spoke in a man's voice, "Girl, has anyone ever told you that being too sober is not a good thing?"
