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.]
【我有點看不懂了，我記得這兩個人的資料上，名字是寒圭賢和李宰春吧。在李宰春表示自己要上大號，被寒圭賢留在原地後，他們兩人的直播間就多了一個分屏，一個盯着李宰春，一個盯着寒圭賢。我還以為和以前那樣，是分頭行動所以分開盯着，結果在李宰春的直播間裏，寒圭賢憑空消失了。在寒圭賢的直播間裏，李宰春也憑空消失了。】
【要不是鏡頭從上往下可以看到整個院子，還發現不了人憑空消失的這一幕呢。】
【更有意思的是，在那三個人踏入這個院子後，他們的分屏內，房子後面，完全沒有李宰春和寒圭賢的影子。】
【但從寒圭賢的分屏中可以聽到三人的說話聲音。】
【李宰春的屏幕裏聽不到，誰的都聽不到。】
【好奇怪啊。】
【時空錯亂，有什麽奇怪的。】
【聽你這意思，體驗過？】
【進入過一次詭域，活着回來了。當初我是和朋友一起的，需要分開行動時，我們約好在某個地方碰面。結果按時到了後我發現他不在。後來從詭域出來我看了錄播，發現他其實也按時抵達了約好的地方，但我和他雖然同個時間在同一地點，但其實所處時空并不相通。】
【嗯……大概懂了。】
【然後你朋友呢？】
【死在詭域裏了，他所處的時空更加危險，到處都是可怕的詭異。】
【只有我想說，李宰春那個屏幕裏還帶打碼的嗎？？？】
【是啊，多新鮮啊，血糊糊的一坨都沒打，脫掉褲子聖光一片。】
【這詭異直播也怕被封號？】
【我想或許，詭異直播也會尊重隐私？】
【你看看那詳細的恨不得把底褲都扒掉的個人資料，哪裏有隐私了？】
【罪犯談不上隐私。】
【是的，至少個人資料中，沒有曝光受害者的身份信息。】
【有沒有可能，這個聖光是為了保護你們的眼睛呢？不是誰都想看的。】
【同意，我就不想看。】
【我也不想看，但問題是，這家夥遇到詭異了，沒穿褲子就開始跑，然後我就看到一坨聖光，被詭異追着滿院子竄，這個畫面實在有點辣眼。】
【啊……确實。】
【看他這樣子，撐不了多久。】
李宰春是有點慘，他不知道是不是早上吃的泡面過期了，總之在來的路上就感覺肚子不是那麽舒服。只是礙于面子先撐着，到後來實在撐不住了，被寒圭賢留下自行解決。
剛解決到一半呢，突然竄出來一只詭異，不像人，像野獸，四肢着地趴在地上，巨大的腦袋上兩張巨嘴，沒有眼睛，但鼻子很凸出，它伸長脖子嗅了嗅，對李宰春怒吼了一聲，追着就要咬。
李宰春被吓了一跳，半提着褲子就跑，還高聲喊哥救命，當然寒圭賢是不會來的，在他離開的時候，就和李宰春踏入了不同的時空，李宰春只能一邊抓着褲子一邊狼狽逃命。
險些被詭異抓住的時候，他甚至懷疑自己是不是因為太蠢笨，被寒圭賢抛棄了。
怎麽會呢，他誤殺了人質時，哥都沒有抛棄他。
所以這次也不會，對吧？
然而兇狠的詭異已經追到了李宰春，對着他的脖子狠狠的咬了下去。
一聲慘叫，李宰春倒下了。
野獸一樣的詭異叼着他的脖子，将人拖拽走了，沒能提上去的褐色褲子在拖拽間被落在地上，沾染着暗紅色的血。
盯着李宰春的分屏啪的一下子黑屏了，标志着他人生的落幕。
*
汗城最中心的建築是獨屬于王的宅邸，它的規模最大，位置最高，站在屋頂上可以俯瞰整個汗城。
此時，李兔就和芒桃站在屋頂上，在他們身側落後一步的位置上，是之前開門挂鎖的女子和發放金牌子的年輕人。
這兩人就像是兩個僵硬的木偶一樣，呆立在這裏，一動不動，連眼睫毛都不曾動一下。
任何一個詭異直播間的分屏中都不會出現他們的身影，他們的知名度早就高到不再需要依靠詭異直播間來刷點數了。
這裏是獨屬于他們的時空，他們可以站在這裏，靠着系統盯着所有參與這個‘游戲’的犯罪者，但所有院落的人，擡起頭看向主殿屋頂，卻不會瞧見他們的身影。
“時空已經開始變得混亂了。”芒桃手指抵着下巴說道，“比預想中的還要混亂，一個地點最多甚至可以分出四個不同的時空。”
而這四個時空之間的相接點非常随機，一不小心多走兩步就會踏入新的時空。而且之間的壁壘非常脆弱，有些時空之間聲音互相傳遞，可以聽到對方的說話聲卻見不到人。有些時空之間畫面重疊，可以看到對方的影子，但觸碰卻是虛無。
芒桃：“傳送去異界的錨點已經打開了，是因為錨點影響嗎？”
以前遇到的詭域雖然時空也會出現混亂，但亂成這樣子也是首次遇見，唯一的不同就只能是白一心布置下的鏡子錨點。
“誰知道呢，多嘗試幾次不就明白了。”李兔笑嘻嘻的看着分屏，“死了兩個，一個死于同類手裏，一個死于異類手裏。啊，看這個，很快就有第三個受害者了。”
芒桃湊過去看李兔指着的分屏，是相伴來的那對姐妹，被五個男人圍住要挾。
“我記得她們，犯的罪是……找到了。”李兔念出了兩人的罪行，“拐賣女性，拉皮條，順便做的生意中，也沾了那麽點毒。她們的出身有點可憐，小時候就沒了父親，母親接客時順便也把她們送了出去，從小就沒接到什麽好的教育，犯罪的道路一直走到底啊。”
“好人中的弱者，同情更弱者，伸出手幫助他人。惡人中的弱者，拔劍沖向更弱者，将受過的罪發洩向無辜人身上。”芒桃微微擡起下巴，“她們成年後就有了選擇權，可以擺脫母親和垃圾一樣的人生，是她們自己覺得來錢太慢。而且被她們拐走的女孩子，都是想要幫助她們才受騙的好心人。”
借口‘自己被跟蹤了，請陪我走一段路幫幫我’結果把人往陰暗地方帶，迷暈賣去不幹淨的地方。
何況她們沾染的毒是在成年後主動去吸食的，單純這一點就已經是無可救藥了。
沒錢就跑去做拐賣的生意，也是因為沾染了毒。
那種東西，既消耗生命又很耗費金錢。
她們曾是受害者，後來她們成了加害者，且比坑害她們的人更毒。
至于圍着她們的五個男人，芒桃掃了一眼，沒什麽特別的，不過是一個滅門慘案中的兇手罷了。除此之外還有其他的坑蒙拐騙的罪，但對比起滅門案來說，算是小案子。
兩邊都不是好人，死誰對芒桃來說都無所謂。
所以他很淡然的繼續看着。
盯着這個直播間的評論區網友也都是不嫌事大，尤其是還有受害者家屬在直播評論區裏，罵的話更髒，好多都得屏蔽的地步。
“首領。”白一心憑空出現。
他掃了一眼還站着的兩個人偶，擡手就收了起來。
這兩個都是他通過鏡子複制來的，當初紅日出現前他就沒少用鏡子複制體幫清桐構建詭域騙人玩，如果對能力沒有要求，只需要說話做事，鏡子假人足夠用了。
“怎麽樣？”芒桃回頭看向他。
白一心丢出來一只詭異，被帶有詭力的繩子捆縛着無法動彈。
這只詭異有着人類的面孔，看着不過才十歲左右，穿着寒國的傳統服飾，但是更精致，鵝黃色的上衣繡滿了暗紋，雖然也是長辮子的發型，頭發上卻佩戴着珠飾。
“這就是這個詭域的核心詭異？”芒桃看着不斷掙紮嘶吼的小姑娘說道，“比我預想中的還要年幼，系統，這詭異誕生自誰的怨念？”
“誕生自二百年前的世子嫔，金貞珠的怨恨。”救世系統回答道，“她被冊封為世子嫔後的第二個月，就遇到圍城這種事，被王和王後不喜，認為她是個黴星。雖然被帶來到汗城一起避難，但上行下效，連王和王後都不待見她，世子年幼，對情愛沒有概念，也不喜歡這個初次見面的小女孩。下面的仆人對待她就很懈怠。而且王宮裏的女孩，和世子嫔天然就是對立的。”
芒桃：“嗯？”
“古寒國裏的宮女其實都是王上的女人，宿主是知道的吧。”救世系統說道，“不過有一個院子裏的宮女比較例外，就是世子院子裏的。雖然王看到了喜歡的可以直接帶走，但沒帶走的，留在世子院子裏的，那都是屬于世子的。”
雖然世子年紀小還不懂那些，但可以等啊，世子院子裏一些懂事的小姑娘可是盯死了世子身邊的位置。
世子院裏的小宮女很少有大宮女會虐待，尤其是那些顏值高的，指不定哪天一飛沖天，古寒國不是沒有小宮女成為嫔妃甚至王後的例子。
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.
