Chapter 298 Chapter 298
After listening to his elder brother's explanation, the thick-skinned Li Jae-chun realized it belatedly and broke out in a cold sweat.
Now Li Jae-chun recalls the faces he saw in the front yard, and suddenly feels that none of them are good people.
"Brother, are we going to hide here for three days?" Li Zaichun asked.
Han Kyu-hyun had this idea, at least that's what he originally thought, but now… judging from the attitude of the short-haired girl just now, it doesn't seem like she will let them go.
Putting the unsmoked cigarettes into the cigarette box, Han Kyu-hyun put on his bag and said, "Let's go."
Li Jae-chun said "oh" and stood up to follow him, without asking where they were going.
Han Kyu-hyun is still thinking about the note he picked up earlier. Is it a clue about this place? If it is in this box, then are there other boxes as well?
At the critical moment, it is better to look for the box first.
"Be quiet." Han Kyu-hyun warned.
Li Zaichun nodded to show that he understood, closed his mouth, hunched over, and tried not to make any sound.
They walked through the green shade between the back of the house and the wall. Although it was not spacious, it was wide enough for one person to walk through, so Han Kyu-hyun and Lee Jae-chun walked forward one after the other.
After passing the back windows of two houses and arriving at the third house, I heard a woman crying.
The voice was low and resentful. Han Guixian paused. He stood there hesitating for a moment and decided to move forward.
As we walked forward, the crying became clearer, and there were also faint voices, and it was the voices of more than one person.
Only when they came to the window could they hear what was said inside the house.
"I didn't steal it, really. I didn't take the bracelet."
"Who else but you can't do your job well every day, eat and sleep well."
"Okay, stop talking, Jin Jiezhu. When the queen was sleeping with her that night, you were the only one guarding the side hall. Even if you didn't take it, if something got lost during your night of guarding, wouldn't you still be responsible?"
"Oh, stop crying here. The city has been sealed for so long. I know exactly what you want to do after stealing the bracelet. Do you want to escape? Do you think the king and everyone else will be doomed? I tell you, this place is also surrounded. Even if you take the bracelet out of the city, you can't get far. The enemy soldiers blocking the river will kill you!"
"No, I didn't. I really didn't take it."
"Choi Sang-Gong, there's no need to ask any more questions. Can't you just take them away? It happens that we don't have much left for tomorrow's dishes."
"No, it really wasn't me, you can't take me there--" The crying woman screamed shrilly, and suddenly her words changed again, "It was you who did it, right, Park Hye-jung--"
"No, what are you talking about? How does it have anything to do with me? Come on, Choi Sang-Gong, take her away, she's already talking nonsense."
The sound sounded very panicked.
Then an older woman snorted coldly, "I am not interested in the hatred between you two. I just want to get back the queen's bracelet. If you don't see the queen's bracelet on the table in the west room tonight, you all know the consequences. The meat and vegetables in the kitchen are getting less and less, and even the adults' daily diet is difficult to guarantee. I don't mind having a few less mouths to feed here, understand?"
Several women responded in low voices, followed by the sobbing of a person with his mouth covered.
Then, no sound could be heard.
Han Kyu-hyun felt his sleeve being pulled twice, and when he turned around, he saw Lee Jae-chun's face flushed and he was making gestures to him, which meant that he wanted to go big.
Once again, he was so angry at this stupid little brother that he pointed at the ground, meaning that he should solve the problem here.
Li Jae-chun nodded quickly and winked at Han Kyu-hyun: Brother, what about you?
Han Kyu-hyun pointed to the house next door, meaning that he wanted to go and take a look.
Li Jae-chun immediately shook his head. He thought his brother was crazy and that the conversation just now was obviously wrong.
Han Kyu-hyun patted his shoulder to reassure him.
Li Jae-chun originally wanted to chase after her, but his stomach was really uncomfortable. He looked around and saw no one, so he unbuckled his belt.
Here, Han Kyu-hyun has walked out of the green shade and came to the side of the house. There is a huge water tank here, which is used by the people living here to get water.
This water tank should have been empty originally. After this royal castle became a tourist attraction and was opened to the public, this water tank had long since become a simple decoration. But now, although the lid of the water tank is still covering it, through the cracks in the wooden lid, Han Guixian can still see a slight light of water inside, and at the same time a faint smell of water.
Han Guixian walked around the water tank and came to the front of the house. He didn't dare to step in easily, but just stood at a distance and looked into the house. It was empty and there was nothing inside.
He held the handle of the knife in his palm and approached the house cautiously. The inside of the house was very quiet. Not to mention people, there were not even tables, chairs or benches.
This is just a very ordinary empty house.
Han Guixian breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he regretted not seeing the box here. As a result, when he turned around, he saw a small box on the water tank on the side of the room.
It clearly didn't exist before.
Han Guixian was stunned, and at the same time a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back. He quickly looked around. This courtyard was very small. It should be the living and working place of the palace maids in the harem. He could scan the whole place at a glance, but still didn't see a single person.
Looking at the box on the water tank, Han Guixian was a little afraid to touch it. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching outside the yard gate. Without thinking too much, he quickly picked up the box and hid in the green shadow between the back of the house and the outer wall.
But when he came in, he was dumbfounded again. The place was empty and Li Jae-chun, who was originally left here, was gone.
There were no signs on the ground of the guy satisfying his physiological needs.
But at this moment someone had already entered the yard. Han Guixian held the small box in one hand and the handle of the knife in the other, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe.
Judging from the footsteps, there should be three people, one of whom is the one with short linen hair. Han Kyu-hyun heard her voice.
"One and the other two are so vigilant. Is it because I am not as charming as before?" Yama Short Hair said unhappily. "No one was fooled. The only thing I got was the gold medal of the watch."
The young man's voice rang out: "Ha, that woman's gold medal was obtained at my expense. What a fool! She didn't think she could seduce me with her face."
This time, the old man spoke in a slightly sad voice: "She was an old hand at deceiving men, but unfortunately she panicked and her intentions were completely exposed. And we also had our own intentions, so she didn't succeed."
"Don't you think that everyone here is a little weird?" Yama Short Hair asked in confusion, "The man before was the same. I flirted with him for a few words and he pulled out a knife. Would a normal person pull out a knife just because they don't agree with something?"
"All of you here are former criminals." The old man said, "You are still too young. With more experience, you can recognize your own kind at a glance."
"Dad, do you think this is a coincidence?" asked Yama with short hair.
The old man: "What a coincidence! The post was originally meant to fish for dishonest people like us. I saw that a long time ago. He just thought that there was gold to be gained, so it was no big deal to play a game with us to see who was tougher. I didn't expect that..."
There's something damn weird going on here.
Who can be tougher than weird?
"You shouldn't have killed her," the old man said. "Leave her alive so that you can offer her as a sacrifice if something strange happens to you."
"It's all because of Xiaozhen being too impulsive. I was just playing with that woman, and she came up and stabbed me in the back." The man clicked his tongue, "When you tricked men into giving them sweet things, I didn't say anything."
"Stop talking nonsense. I think you just can't let go of your ex-girlfriend. Does that long black hair bring back memories of the past?"
"How could that be? Besides, didn't you bury my ex-girlfriend? Now the only thing left is her hair, and you're still thinking about it."
"snort."
"Okay, look around and see if there are any gold bars here," the old man advised.
Then there was the sound of opening the door and searching.
Han Guixian held the box and dared not move, estimating the fighting power of both sides. He thought that if they came over, he could just hold the short-haired linen woman named Xiaozhen. From the conversation, he could tell that their relationship was not bad. The old man was the woman's father, and the young man was in a relationship with her. If he caught the woman, he could threaten the other two.
However, after waiting for a long time, the three people did not find this place. They seemed to have completely forgotten the corner behind the house.
"Nothing. Let's go and look in the next yard."
"Um."
The footsteps of the three people gradually faded away.
Han Kyu-hyun heaved a sigh of relief, relaxed his body, turned his head and saw a woman's rotten face close to him, with pieces of flesh falling from her rotten cheeks. She opened her mouth and silently roared to herself, as if to say: I didn't steal.
"Ah——" Han Kyu-hyun screamed in fright.
The three people who had just stepped out of the yard paused. The old man frowned and turned around: "Why is there someone here?"
There should be no one in that yard. They have looked everywhere, even behind the house.
Where are you from?
"Let's go and take a look," said the old man, playing with a folding knife in his hand.
However, when I returned to the yard and looked at the clean courtyard, I still didn't see anyone.
"Dad, something is wrong here, let's go." Xiaozhen, who had short linen hair, pulled the old man's clothes and said, "Let's go."
"Well, let's go." The old man nodded and quickly left with the two of them.
Han Guixian, who was discovered in a rotten and weird state, no longer cared whether he would be discovered by the three old men. He still held the box tightly and ran away.
But when he rushed out of the yard, he did not see the old man and the other two. Only the rotten and weird thing was chasing him closely. Her mouth kept opening and closing, silently shouting: You stole it, liar.
In the comment section of the live broadcast room.
[A small courtyard, two groups of people, three split screens.]
[I don't quite understand. I remember the names of these two people in their profiles were Han Kyu Hyun and Lee Jae Chun. After Lee Jae Chun said he was going to use his dick and Han Kyu Hyun kept him there, there was a split screen in their live broadcast room, one staring at Lee Jae Chun and the other at Han Kyu Hyun. I thought they were acting separately like before, so they were watching them separately, but in Lee Jae Chun's live broadcast room, Han Kyu Hyun disappeared out of thin air. In Han Kyu Hyun's live broadcast room, Lee Jae Chun also disappeared out of thin air.]
[If the camera hadn't been able to see the entire yard from above, we wouldn't have been able to see the person disappearing out of thin air.]
[What’s even more interesting is that after the three people stepped into the yard, there was no trace of Lee Jae-chun and Han Kyu-hyun behind the house in their split screen.]
【But from Han Kyu-hyun's split screen, you can hear the voices of the three people talking. 】
[I can’t hear anything from Lee Jae-chun’s screen, nor anyone else’s. 】
[How strange.]
[Time and space are messed up, what's so strange about that? 】
[From what you said, have you experienced this?]
[I entered the strange land once and came back alive. I was with a friend at the time, and when we needed to split up, we agreed to meet at a certain place. But when I arrived on time, I found that he was not there. Later, when I came out of the strange land, I watched the recording and found that he actually arrived at the agreed place on time. Although he and I were at the same place at the same time, we were actually in different time and space. ]
[Hmm... I think I understand.]
【And what about your friends? 】
[He died in a strange place. The time and space he was in was even more dangerous, and everywhere was filled with terrible weirdness.]
[I am the only one who wants to ask, is there any censorship in the screen of Lee Jae-chun? ? ? ]
[Yeah, it's so fresh, there's no blood at all, just take off your pants and you'll see holy light everywhere.]
[Are you afraid of being banned for this weird live broadcast? 】
[I think maybe Weird Live will also respect privacy? ]
[Look at the detailed personal information, where is the privacy? ]
【Criminals have no privacy.】
[Yes, at least the victim’s identity information is not exposed in the personal data. ]
[Is it possible that this holy light is to protect your eyes? Not everyone wants to see it.]
[I agree, but I don’t want to watch it. ]
[I don't want to watch it either, but the problem is, this guy encountered a monster and started running without wearing pants, and then I saw a ball of holy light, and was chased by the monster all over the yard. This scene is really a bit hot to the eyes. ]
【Ah... Indeed.】
【Looking at him like this, he won't be able to hold on for much longer.】
Li Jae-chun was in a bad mood. He didn't know if the instant noodles he had in the morning had expired. Anyway, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach on the way here. He just held on for the sake of face, but later he couldn't hold it anymore, so Han Kyu-hyun left him to solve it on his own.
Just when they were halfway through solving the problem, a strange creature suddenly appeared. It looked more like a beast than a human. It was lying on the ground on all fours. It had two huge mouths on its huge head. It had no eyes, but a very protruding nose. It stretched its neck and sniffed, then roared at Li Jae-chun and chased after him to bite him.
Li Jae-chun was frightened and ran away with his pants half lifted up, shouting for help, "Brother." Of course, Han Kyu-hyun would not come. When he left, he and Li Jae-chun stepped into a different time and space. Li Jae-chun could only run for his life while grabbing his pants.
When he was almost caught by the strange, he even suspected that he was abandoned by Han Guixian because he was too stupid.
How could that be? I didn't abandon him when he accidentally killed the hostage.
So it won't happen this time, right?
However, the vicious monster had already caught up with Li Zaichun and bit his neck fiercely.
With a scream, Li Jae-chun fell down.
It bit his neck like a beast and dragged him away. His brown trousers, which could not be pulled up, fell to the ground during the dragging, stained with dark red blood.
The split screen that was staring at Li Jae-chun suddenly went black, marking the end of his life.
*
The most central building of the Khan City is the king’s exclusive residence. It is the largest and highest in terms of size. Standing on the roof, you can overlook the entire Khan City.
At this time, Li Tu and Mang Tao were standing on the roof. One step behind them were the woman who opened the door and locked it and the young man who handed out the gold medals.
The two of them were like two stiff puppets, standing there, motionless, without even moving their eyelashes.
They will not appear in the split screen of any weird live broadcast room. Their popularity has long been high enough that they no longer need to rely on weird live broadcast rooms to gain points.
This is a time and space that belongs exclusively to them. They can stand here and rely on the system to keep an eye on all the criminals who take part in this 'game'. However, if everyone in the courtyard looks up at the roof of the main hall, they will not see them.
"Time and space have become chaotic." Mang Tao said, with her finger on her chin. "It's more chaotic than expected. One place can be divided into four different time and space."
The connection points between these four time and space are very random. If you take two more steps, you will step into a new time and space. Moreover, the barriers between them are very fragile. In some time and space, the sound can be transmitted to each other, but you can hear each other's voice but can't see the people. In some time and space, the pictures overlap, and you can see each other's shadows, but it is nothing when you touch them.
Mang Tao: "The anchor point for teleporting to the other world has been opened. Is it because of the anchor point's influence?"
Although the time and space in the strange domains encountered before were also chaotic, this was the first time I encountered such chaos. The only difference was the mirror anchor points arranged by Bai Yixin.
"Who knows? Just try a few more times and you'll find out." Li Tu looked at the split screen with a smile, "Two died, one at the hands of the same species, and one at the hands of a different species. Ah, look at this, there will be a third victim soon."
Mang Tao went over to look at the split screen that Li Tu was pointing at. It was the pair of sisters who came together, being surrounded and being kidnapped by five men.
"I remember them. The crime they committed was... I found it." Li Tu read out the crimes of the two people. "They kidnapped women, pimped, and also had some drugs in their business. Their backgrounds were a bit pitiful. They lost their father when they were young, and their mother sent them away when she was having sex. They didn't receive any good education since they were young, and they kept going down the road of crime."
"The weaker ones among the good ones sympathize with the weaker ones and reach out to help others. The weaker ones among the evil ones draw their swords and rush towards the weaker ones, venting their suffering on innocent people." Mang Tao raised her chin slightly, "After they grow up, they have the right to choose and can get rid of their mother's and the garbage-like life. It's just that they feel that the money comes too slowly. And the girls they kidnapped were all kind-hearted people who wanted to help them and were deceived."
He used the excuse of 'I'm being followed, please walk with me for a while and help me' but ended up taking the person to a dark place, where he got lost and was taken to a dirty place.
What's more, they became addicted to drugs after they became adults, and this alone makes them hopeless.
He had no money so he started a trafficking business, also because he was addicted to drugs.
That kind of thing consumes both life and money.
They were once victims, but later they became perpetrators, and they were more vicious than those who perpetrated against them.
As for the five men surrounding them, Mang Tao took a quick look and found nothing special about them. They were just the murderer in a family murder case. In addition, they were also convicted of other crimes, but compared to the family murder case, they were minor cases.
Neither side is a good person, and it doesn't matter to Mang Tao who dies.
So he continued to watch calmly.
The netizens who were watching the comment section of this live broadcast room were not afraid of making trouble, especially the victims' families, who were swearing even more foully in the comment section, to the point where many of them had to be blocked.
"Leader." Bai Yixin appeared out of nowhere.
He glanced at the two puppets that were still standing, then raised his hands and put them away.
He had copied both of them through the mirror. Before the red sun appeared, he had used the mirror copies to help Qingtong build a strange domain to deceive people. If there were no requirements for abilities and only needed to talk and do things, the mirror dummies would be sufficient.
"How is it?" Mang Tao turned around and looked at him.
Bai Yixin threw out a monster, which was tied up with a rope with strange power and unable to move.
This monster has a human face and looks to be only about ten years old. It wears traditional Han country clothing, but it is more refined. The goose yellow top is embroidered with dark patterns. Although it also has a long braid hairstyle, it wears beads on its hair.
"Is this the core anomaly of this strange domain?" Mang Tao said as she looked at the little girl who was struggling and screaming. "She is younger than I expected. System, whose resentment gave rise to this anomaly?"
"The hatred of the Crown Prince's concubine, Kim Jung-joo, was born two hundred years ago." The salvation system replied, "In the second month after she was named the Crown Prince's concubine, she encountered the siege. The king and queen disliked her and thought she was a bad luck. Although she was brought to Khan City to take refuge together, she was disliked by the king and queen. The Crown Prince was young and had no concept of love. He also didn't like this little girl he met for the first time. The servants below were very lazy in treating her. Moreover, the girls in the palace were naturally opposed to the Crown Prince's concubine."
Mang Tao: "Hmm?"
"The maids in Guhan Kingdom are actually all the women of the king. The host knows this, right?" said the salvation system. "However, the maids in one courtyard are an exception, and that is the maids in the prince's courtyard. Although the king can take away the maids he likes, the maids who are not taken away and remain in the prince's courtyard belong to him."
Although the prince is young and doesn't understand those things, he can wait. Some sensible girls in the prince's yard are keeping a close eye on the position next to him.
The young palace maids in the Prince's Palace are rarely abused by the senior palace maids, especially those who are good-looking. Who knows, they may rise to fame one day. There are examples of young palace maids becoming concubines or even queens in the ancient Han Kingdom.
Girls who come from humble backgrounds and have been accustomed to hardship since childhood are even more thoughtful and try their best to climb up.
