Compared with the previous village, Ku Shui Town can indeed be called prosperous.

Although there are no city walls, the town's borders are fenced and there are militiamen on guard.

The houses in the town are built along the streets, stretching all the way down. You can vaguely see a group of mansions in the center of the town, which is very conspicuous.

It was not yet dawn, it was the darkest stage before dawn, there was no one on the street, and the militiamen on guard were yawning.

“We’re finally here.”

Drizzt breathed a sigh of relief. At least they should be able to attend the wedding smoothly next.

Just as he relaxed, Trist's eyes caught a glimpse of a person standing under a tree not far to his left.

The man was wearing red clothes, had black hair, and a pale face, but his lips were redder than his clothes.

"Hello……"

Trist patted Lu Ban's shoulder, but in the blink of an eye, the man in red disappeared.

"Did you see anyone under the tree just now?"

He put down the bowl and asked.

"Yes, indeed."

Lu Ban also saw the person in red, and he could see clearly that the person was a woman.

"The woman in the red wedding dress, is this the bride?"

He was a little confused.

According to the task description, the Hai family's son is getting married and the bride is an outsider, so the one with the problem should be the groom.

Now the bride suddenly appears, something is wrong.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced around again.

At this time, Lu Ban discovered that inside the carriage, on a bench facing him, there was a woman sitting.

The woman in red, with a red veil covering her face, was sitting there in an elegant posture.

Her skin was extremely pale, her nails were black, and Lu Ban smelled a salty, fishy odor. The woman's skin seemed to be wrinkled and wet.

Lu Ban immediately turned around and raised the crowbar in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Trist also turned his head, but saw that there was nothing in the car.

Lu Ban frowned, walked into the car and came to the place where the woman had just sat.

My hands were cold on the chair. Not just without temperature, but they were even colder than the night wind outside.

Lu Ban saw some water stains on the ground.

Lu Ban picked up a little on his hand and sniffed it.

"It's seawater."

They had just been in the carriage, and there must have been no one else in the carriage, so there was naturally no sea water.

"This town doesn't look very welcoming to us."

After listening to Lu Ban's story, Trist's face became a little solemn.

"I've encountered more monsters before, and I could just use a gun to deal with them. It's a bit troublesome to encounter ghosts like this."

Perhaps it was a privilege of the quiet place, they entered the town without much obstruction, although the eyes of the militiamen were the same as those of the people in the village before, full of suspicion, resistance and vigilance.

After parking the carriage and holding the lantern, Lu Ban and Trist walked along the quiet street towards the largest mansion in the town.

There were no lights in almost all the houses, and only moonlight illuminated the streets.

Lu Ban caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a mouse in the alley, which made a squeaking sound.

Suddenly, he stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Trist was startled and stopped as well.

"listen."

Lu Ban put his hand to his ear and listened carefully.

Drizzt also calmed down and pricked up his ears.

He heard a certain melody echoing in the air.

In that melody, there is also a low whisper.

"...waiting for you...when will you return...on a good day..."

It sounded like a sob and a complaint, like the cries of a resentful woman in the boudoir.

"Where is this sound?"

Trist felt his hair stand on end and goose bumps all over his body. He looked around and there was no light at all.

No.

In the deep darkness, there were only two red lights.

Trist saw two big red lanterns hanging at the door of the magnificent mansion ahead on the road.

The light of the lantern flickered in the night, casting a bright red light on the ground.

The singing seemed to come from the courtyard.

"... Sir, don't go..."

A crisp whisper, accompanied by a chill on the back of his neck, made Drizzt turn around suddenly.

He saw that the woman covered with a red veil was right within reach.

The lower half of her face under the veil was extremely soft and charming, yet frighteningly pale, and her red lips were particularly eye-catching.

It was not until this time that Trist discovered that the woman's clothes were actually made of paper!

This strange scene actually attracted Trist's attention for a moment, causing him to interrupt his thoughts.

Swoosh——

Before she could react, a crowbar swept across the bride's body, but when the crowbar just touched her, the woman in red disappeared.

"careful."

Lu Ban reminded.

"Is that singing just now the strange sound in the Caspian mansion? What does it have to do with the bride? Her clothes are made of paper. Why?"

Drizzt was puzzled.

The faint singing voice lingered in the ears, making people feel creepy, but perhaps out of fear of Lu Ban's crowbar, the woman in the red wedding dress did not appear again.

The two arrived at the gate of the Hai family mansion.

The house was indeed magnificent, but the pillars with mottled and peeling paint, the door plaque with messy grass growing on it like seaweed, and the gate with some unknown scratches all told them that this was not an ordinary wealthy family.

But after waiting for a while, no one came out to open the door for them.

"Do we have to find a way to get in by ourselves?"

Drizzt stroked his chin, shook off the ashes from his burnt-out pipe, and put them in his jacket pocket.

"I'm familiar with this. In the countryside, when there's a wedding banquet, you just sneak in and eat. That's it."

Lu Ban patted his chest.

"?"

A question mark appeared above Drizzt's head.

"Two."

At this time, a faint whisper came from behind the two people.

Lu Ban subconsciously swung the crowbar, but missed.

They saw a short man standing about one meter behind the two men.

The man was wearing exquisitely made silk clothes, which made him look completely different from the skinny villagers.

However, the man had applied thick powder on his face, which made him look too white, even a little sickly, forming a sharp contrast with his black clothes. His lips looked like they were painted with lipstick, which was too bright.

In Lu Ban's words, this person looks more like a dead person than a living person.

"!"

Drizzt looked at him warily; this man gave him a bad feeling.

"You are the guests who are here to attend the wedding, right? Please follow me. Our master has arranged other accommodations for you two."

The man's voice was calm, like an unchanging tombstone.

"good."

Lu Ban and Trist looked at each other and followed the man.

They came to a three-story building that looked like an inn next to the mansion. In the dim light, the innkeeper received the two people with a numb expression and gave them the keys to two rooms on the third floor.

Drizzt walked into his room and checked it first, but found no major problems.

He took off his coat and was about to rest when there was a knock on the door.

"It's me."

Lu Ban's voice came from outside.

Trist opened the door and saw Lu Ban holding a quilt in his hands.

"Let's sleep together tonight."

He said it seriously.
