Looking at Lu Ban's vomit, Trist was unable to connect his two sentences for a moment.

"Those two people, there is no heartbeat."

Lu Ban took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wiped the corner of his mouth, then explained.

"They are just like those fish-like monsters. They have no heartbeat or breathing. They are just zombies."

"And the servants?"

Thinking of the fact that the three people were dressed almost the same, Drizzt asked again.

"The servant has a heartbeat, although the frequency is strange, but he is alive."

Lu Ban answered.

If the servant had no heartbeat, he would have noticed it when he saw the man last night, instead of telling Drizzt only now.

"The ingredients of the food were normal, but the taste was terrible. It was like someone who couldn't cook at all forced them to cook. The chef in this house might not be a normal person either."

He added one more sentence.

"So you asked them to provide dinner just to confirm this?"

Trist immediately felt that the man in front of him, apart from being a little neurotic and having a slightly strange way of thinking, was also quite brave and careful.

"No, I'm really hungry."

Lu Ban answered immediately.

He returned to the house, took out the compressed dry food from his bag, and wolfed it down in no time, along with the mineral water he had brought with him.

"Man is iron, and food is steel. How can you cope with tomorrow's wedding without a full meal?"

"…As long as you are happy."

Drizzt sat down in a chair, carefully checked his revolver, and put it back into its holster.

"Let's review the current situation."

"This town was invaded by a monster many years ago. Later, the monster was sealed and there was a period of peace. But when the seal was loosened, the monster came out again to wreak havoc on the world. Until the Hai family arrived, the monster disappeared."

"The Black Queen Mother may be some kind of existence higher than humans. She is sealed in the black tower in the Hai family yard, and her power can seep out and instigate others to release her."

"So, the Black Queen Mother might be the monster that ravaged the sea before, and is now sealed by the Hai family?"

"We don't need to pay too much attention to the Black Queen Mother's affairs. Our goal is the wedding. But now the Hai family seems to have problems. The head of the family is dead, but the servants are still alive."

He stroked his pipe as he thought.

Suddenly, Trist discovered that Lu Ban was missing.

The whole room was silent, and even my own breathing could be heard clearly.

"Lu Ban?"

Drizzt became alert and cried out.

No one responded.

He stood up and walked into the house.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and the moonlight filtered through the shadows of the trees, making it look quite gloomy.

Drizzt saw a mirror, which was placed in a strange position, facing the screen, as if it was reflecting every person who entered the room.

He saw his own reflection in the slightly blurry bronze mirror.

It's a very strange feeling.

Drizzt felt that the person in the mirror seemed a little different, so he tiptoed closer, trying to see more clearly.

At this moment, Trist discovered that his face in the mirror was pale, with only his lips exceptionally red, just like the dead master of the Hai family!

The moment he noticed it, blood was flowing from Trist's eyes, nose, mouth and ears in the mirror.

Trist hurriedly stepped back and saw a person standing behind him in the mirror.

The woman in the red wedding dress!

This time, the woman was not covered with a red cloth, but lifted her veil.

You can see that on that delicate, pale, bloodless oval face, there is a pair of deep red eyes with no visible whites, and tears of blood are flowing from those eyes, which are reflected by the red lips.

“Don’t go…”

Hearing soft whispers in his ears, Drizzt turned around quickly, but the revolver in his hand missed the target.

There was no one behind him.

Cold sweat oozed from Drizzt's forehead. Unconsciously, the surrounding space became claustrophobic and dim, and even the moonlight seemed to be swallowed up.

Those blurry and ambiguous tree shadows are like people with twisted postures, ready to strike in the corner.

“Save me…”

Along with the soft whisper, Drizzt felt a chill on the back of his neck. Something wet, cold, and metallic-smelling breath hit his neck, causing goose bumps all over Drizzt's body.

He turned around and was ready to shoot, but his finger on the trigger wouldn't go down.

The trigger seemed to be frozen, not moving at all.

Drizzt looked down and saw that a hand was grabbing his right hand that was holding the gun, with the finger blocking the trigger, making it unable to move.

"Wake up."

Trist was startled when he heard Lu Ban's voice in his ears.

It was not until this time that he realized that the muzzle of his gun was pointing at himself, and Lu Ban stretched out his hand to block the trigger, preventing Trist from committing suicide.

"What did you see?"

Lu Ban gently took the pistol from Trist's hand, put it on the table, and asked patiently.

"I saw the woman in red. She was in the room just now..."

Drizzt's voice was weak.

"No, you just sat there without moving until you picked up the pistol and put it to your head, ready to shoot yourself."

Lu Ban was still holding a half-eaten package of compressed dry food in his hand.

"You must be starving. Eat some dry food to calm your nerves."

Lu Ban handed his half-eaten dry food to Trist.

Trist took the dry food in a daze, still seemingly immersed in what he had just seen and heard. It was not until he took two bites and realized something was wrong that he hurriedly looked at Lu Ban.

“This is what you ate!”

"It's okay. I don't mind."

Lu Ban patted his chest.

"There are big problems with this house. I suspect that woman is the Black Queen Mother. She will subtly influence the consciousness of the people around her and make them crazy."

Drizzt said with some fear.

"The people of the Hai family have lived with the Black Queen Mother for so long that they may no longer be normal people..."

Trist suspected that when he and Lu Ban witnessed the wedding, just seeing the bride and groom was enough to cause them to lose control of their minds.

"These people have either turned into the zombie monsters in the fog last night, or turned into monsters with fish heads and human bodies. I'm afraid that servant is also in disguise. He manipulated the master and mistress of the Hai family to receive us."

For the Hai family, all they had to do was to hold a successful wedding. As for Lu Ban and Trist, they were probably just unstable factors that needed to be properly dealt with, that was all.

"We stay here tonight. Even if the Hai family doesn't intend to harm us, the Black Queen Mother's will will affect us."

Trist felt that the current situation was very dangerous.

"She said it's okay."

But Lu Ban suddenly spoke.

"What did you say?"

Trist just felt weird because Lu Ban wasn't looking at him, but at the empty chair next to him.

"She said she would not harm us."

Lu Ban repeated it.

"Who are you talking to..."

The hairs on Drizzt's back stood up. He didn't dare to move rashly and just turned his body slightly.

"bride."

Lu Ban pointed to the empty chair.

At this moment, on the chair, in Lu Ban's sight, there was a woman in a red wedding dress sitting there.

The woman's face was pale, her lips were red, her eyes were bloodshot without any white in them, and two lines of bloody tears flowed down her cheeks.

She just sat there, as if she had been there for hundreds of years.
