Chapter 300 Chapter 300
The moment his eyes turned to look over, the man was so scared that he could hardly breathe.
He turned around stiffly and found that the people behind him still hadn't noticed the existence of the wooden box.
What should I do? Run away? Or shout out to let everyone know that danger is imminent?
After only two seconds of thinking, the man made up his mind. He turned around and reminded his companions: "The weirdo is coming, hurry up!"
The sudden shout startled several people. A short man was in high spirits, but he was almost scared. He turned around and was about to curse. Then he came to his senses and remembered what a weird place this was. The man just said something weird. He was so scared that he hurriedly pulled up his pants, his mind spinning: "Where? What's weird here?"
However, the man who shouted had already run far away. He thought that he had fulfilled his partner's obligation by giving a reminder. Now that the danger was at hand, it would depend on who could escape.
The yard in the west corner was very remote, with only one gate, and the rest were houses. The man ran straight to the gate, wanting to leave the yard.
He also succeeded. The strange eyes under the wooden box watched him leave with no intention of catching him. Instead, they stared at the rest of the people.
Especially those two women.
Seung Jung-hee and Seung Jung-min also reacted quickly, especially the older sister, Seung Jung-hee. She was taller and stronger. After hearing the man's roar, she immediately noticed the wooden box that she had not seen before. She guessed that this might be something strange, so she pushed the short man who was pressing on her towards the wooden box.
The push was clean and merciless. After pushing the shield, the woman turned and ran.
On the contrary, the short man, who was holding up his trousers in his hands, was caught off guard by her push. He lost his balance and fell sideways, hitting the wooden box with a bang.
A crack appeared on the top of the wooden box, and the crack grew bigger and bigger, and then it broke completely with a crack.
The short man stood up in a wolfish manner, cursing why there was a wooden box here. He didn't realize what was strange at all. He stood up with the help of the wooden box and put on his pants. When he turned around, he found that several people in the yard had run away. In the center of the yard, besides him, there was only the wooden box under his feet.
"Why are you all running? There's nothing weird here." The short man muttered. He lowered his head to look at the wooden box that he had smashed. At one glance, his eyes were suddenly frightened.
Inside the box was a head, which was facing upwards, with a pair of dark eyes staring straight at the short man.
"Weird, weird, weird..." the short man stammered, and finally he took action, running towards the gate of the courtyard like a wolf.
The next second, he suddenly fell to the ground. He turned around and saw a thin dark red rope extending from under the wooden box and wrapped around his ankle.
"Ah——" He screamed in fear and began to beg for mercy.
However, the head in the wooden box remained unmoved and still insisted on dragging him back.
The short man kicked and stomped the wooden box out of fear, and the strange thing hidden under the box was completely exposed.
Just as the short man had seen before, this was a head, the head of a handsome man, but what was stretched out to grab the short man's ankle was not a dark red rope, but a blood vessel extending from the bottom of the head.
When the short man was dragged closer to the head, countless blood vessels stretched out from under the head. While entwining the short man, the sharp top of the blood vessels pierced under the short man's skin and began to draw blood.
The warm blood in the man's body flowed into the head through the blood vessels. A satisfied expression appeared on the face of the head, but in the time it took to breathe, the short man was sucked dry by it, and turned into a dried body that looked like a person who had been dried in the wind for a month after death.
As a large amount of nutrients flowed into the body, the body began to grow from under the head, first the neck, then the shoulders, and only stopped when two thin arms grew. However, below the collarbone, it was still empty.
The human head monster grinned and crawled out with its two arms. It had already memorized the appearance of those people. They were all its food and it would not let any of them go.
Mang Tao looked at the monster crawling on the ground with its hands in the live broadcast room and asked the salvation system: "Is this... a human head monster? I remember it's Class B?"
"Yes." The Savior System replied, "It relies on swallowing blood to replenish itself. Once the body is replenished, it will become A-level. If there is no prey for a long time, it will eat itself until it becomes a human head again, and it will be downgraded to B-level weird."
This is a rare monster that can downgrade itself. Although it has become weaker when downgraded from A to B, it is not completely without benefits. It can conceal its own power and hide itself.
It looks scary, but it's actually pretty easy to deal with. Just deal physical damage to it and smash its skull to kill it.
Of course, this physical attack must also be accompanied by a touch of magic.
So for the group of criminals thrown into the Khan City, this thing is still very dangerous, and ordinary knives will not cause any harm to it.
But it doesn't matter. Li Tu has prepared a lot of surprises in the city. In addition to food, he also put some weird things and props in the boxes. Some were redeemed from the system mall, and some were from Han Country. He specially found weird things related to Khan City.
Hopefully, when they get a monster to use as a weapon, they won't use it against their own kind first.
Don't be unlucky and get the few dangerous and weird items.

Han Kyu-hyun was fleeing with a small box in his arms. A palace maid with a rotten face was chasing him, silently mouthing: Liar!
The man's legs were very nimble, but the strange footsteps behind him were a little unsteady, as if one of his legs was broken, and he couldn't catch up with him for a while.
But he couldn't get rid of it. Han Kyu-hyun had already turned two corners and the strange figure of the palace maid could no longer be seen behind him, but it could still find him after a while. It seemed that the strange figure knew Han Kyu-hyun's location and could accurately intercept him even if it took a different route from Han Kyu-hyun.
What also surprised Han Guixian was that he ran through two yards but didn't meet anyone.
Han Kyu-hyun was almost scared to death. He was no longer concerned about the missing Lee Jae-chun, and his mind was full of how to survive such a desperate situation. Suddenly, he thought of the small box in his arms. Since he found it, Han Kyu-hyun has not opened it.
The small box is locked and you need to find the key first.
But seeing the rusty look of the small key, Han Guixian suspected that even if he found the key, he might not be able to open the lock.
There was a strange creature chasing closely from behind, and Han Guixian had no choice but to hold the small box and slam the small lock hard against the raised part of the corner of the wall, again and again.
My palm was numb from the impact, and finally I heard a click and the lock opened.
After opening the box, there was an antique silver bracelet inside. Due to its age, it had turned black and did not look worth much.
bracelet?
Han Kyu-hyun thought of the conversation he had overheard before. Is this the bracelet that was lost?
Could it be that the ghost was chasing him just because he was carrying this wooden box?
Suddenly Han Guixian felt a little wronged. If he had known this would happen, he would never have touched the box.
At this time, Qiyi chased after him again. It also saw the silver bracelet in Han Guixian's hand. However, for some reason, Qiyi, who should have rushed up to snatch the silver bracelet back, stopped far away, as if it was a little afraid of Han Guixian holding the silver bracelet.
Han Guixian, who originally wanted to return the silver bracelet to Xieyi and asked the other party to let him go, hesitated. He looked at the bracelet and then looked at Xieyi.
Then somehow, he threw away the empty box and put the bracelet on his hand.
The palace maid was surprised to see him do this, and she opened her mouth and screamed in anger. Han Guixian saw that there was no tongue in the strangely opened mouth, and the throat was severely rotten.
No wonder it can't speak and can only make lip movements. It doesn't even have a tongue. Maybe it was cut off before it was born?
Nothing happened after I put on the bracelet, but I felt weird and didn't dare to get close to him anymore.
Could this thing be the nemesis of weirdness? Thinking of this, Han Guixian felt more confident, and he even tried to take two steps towards weirdness.
In the first step, Guaiyi didn't move. In the second step, Guaiyi slowly retreated and put some distance between them.
"Ha..." Han Kyu-hyun was relieved.
The complacent Han Guixian did not notice that a wisp of black energy leaked out of the bracelet and penetrated into his arm.
After the black air entered, Han Guixian felt his arm getting cold, as if he had touched the cold air emitted from an ice cube, with a hint of moisture. He subconsciously looked at his arm but found nothing.
The strange palace maid did not leave, but just stared at Han Guixian from a distance. After a while, the strange palace maid seemed to give up, turned around and left.
Han Guixian breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against the wall and slowly sat down.
The man who sat down looked down at his toes and didn't notice that above his head, the shadow of a woman dressed like a palace maid flashed by. Her scarlet eyes looked at Han Kyu-hyun like a prey, and then disappeared.
However, this scene was captured by the split screen of the live broadcast room.
[My God, a wolf left and a tiger came.]
[This should be more terrifying, look, the ugly-faced palace maids have all run away.]
[You were chasing me before, why did you suddenly leave? 】
[I don't know, maybe after Han Kyu Hyun put on the bracelet, some mechanism was triggered that allowed the monster inside the bracelet to move? ]
[He is definitely possessed.]
【How terrible.】
[Go watch the split screen of the live broadcast room number 3 next door, that's really scary. ]
【What's wrong? 】
[Do you remember the three people who drank the soup from the maid? They were crazy.]
【Curious, go check it out. 】
In the split screen of live broadcast room number three.
Three men stood in a row, holding a bowl of water on their heads, and were learning to walk.
In front of them was a woman wearing a dark green palace dress. She had her hair tied up in a bun. She looked very dignified, but there were not too many decorations on her head.
"You don't even know how to stand or sit, you hunch your backs, spread your thighs, and you look more like men than men!"
After saying that, he used the cane in his hand to whip the three men's backs hard.
The comments section was stunned.
[Hmm...Aren't these three men? ]
[It’s a man, yes.]
[Their current identities are young palace maids who have just entered the palace, at least in the eyes of this 'Han Shang Gong'. ]
[Didn’t you say you were crazy? That’s it?]
[It’s crazy, because the three of them also think of themselves as little palace maids. ]
【I just arrived and I don’t know what happened? 】
[Nothing, just when they were escaping, they broke into a side courtyard. After entering, the three of them were stunned. Then the scene changed, and suddenly this weird person appeared, claiming to be some kind of Han Shang Gong, and wanted to discipline the three of them. I thought the three of them would run away, but the three grown men suddenly behaved like little girls, constantly saying that they were wrong and would not dare to do it again next time. Then they started to be scolded, learning to walk and kneel, but no matter what they did, they were reprimanded for failing and were punished.]
"The kitchen, the washing room, the water room..." Han Shang Gong said one by one, "Every maid who enters the palace will be assigned to one of these departments. This is the kitchen, and their main job is to cook."
"What dishes can you cook?" Han Shanggong asked.
The three men were silent, not daring to say a word.
Until Han Shang Gong whipped out again, the big guy in the lead said in a low voice: "Cook instant noodles?"
"You let the royal family eat the kind of cheap food that only common people eat!" Han Shanggong twitched angrily again.
Her words immediately angered the Han people who had long loved eating instant noodles.
【Why is instant noodles bad???】
[Very delicious.]
[Yes, instant noodles are the most indispensable pillar of cold country cuisine. ]
[Hmm... I don't quite understand you Chinese people. Isn't instant noodles very unnutritious? ]
【junk food.】
【Why is it junk food? Instant noodles are wheat products that can provide a lot of energy. They also contain oil and dehydrated vegetables, which can supplement the protein, fat and vitamins needed for daily life. It is the most convenient, fastest and cheapest food in overtime life! 】
【This……】
[Everything you say makes sense, but I suddenly feel sorry for you.]
【Key points: Maintain daily life needs, convenient, fast and cheap. 】
【The key point is that it is cheap. 】
[If a low-cost nutritional cream is invented someday, and one bottle can support a day's energy consumption, I believe that Han Country will definitely be a big consumer of nutritional cream. ]
[In life, the most important thing is the second word. Simply put, just be alive. 】
【That's not called living, that's called surviving. 】
[I really want to know the happiness index of Han people, is it very low? ]
【Instant noodles are also delicious. 】
[It is indeed delicious, but you can’t eat it three times a day, seven days a week. ]
[I've been to the cold country, and the 24-hour self-service instant noodle restaurant is pretty good. I went there once.]
【Just once? 】
[It's enough to experience it, I can't bear to eat it every day. 】
[Let me explain, instant noodles were invented by us in Japan!!]
【What are you nervous about? I won't apply for it.】
[Instant noodles, oh, that kind of food, I've seen it in the mall, it tastes good, but it's really troublesome to boil water every time, and you have to prepare a bowl. I've only eaten it once, and it was the kind that came with its own paper box. ]
[Where is the person in front? Is it troublesome to prepare the bowl? ]
[In the United States, we are used to using plates. In fact, if you want to talk about convenience, sandwiches are the best, or hot dogs, which do not need to be heated and can be eaten directly. ]
【I really can't get used to Western cold food.】
【I can't understand China's hot water.】
While netizens from all over the world were discussing the eating habits of various countries in the comment section, the three people on the screen had already begun to be instructed by Han Shanggong to proceed to the next step of training: cooking soup.
"Soup is the most important dish on the table, second only to kimchi." Han Shang Gong tapped the whip in her hand gently, "From clear soup, to carrot soup, beet soup, to meat soup, pork rib soup, and snow soup. Different dishes should be paired with different soups. There are rules for what kind of soup to serve in what season and what kind of soup to drink for what kind of person. There are rules for that."
"Vegetables are in short supply right now, so the simplest thing we can make is meat soup." Han Shang Gong raised her chin, "Let's start with the meat soup. Make one for me."
The three men stood in front of the stove, staring blankly at the chopping board and the kitchen knife. They searched the entire kitchen and only found a jar of water. Apart from that, they did not see any seasonings, let alone the main ingredient for making soup - meat.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to do it yet?"
The big guy in the lead turned his head and looked at it tremblingly: "Han Shang Gong...where is the meat?"
"Meat? Isn't it right here?" Han Shanggong's eyes were filled with doubt, as if she really didn't understand why the man would ask such a stupid question, "Isn't the entire Khan City full of meat?"
After saying that, she glanced out the window and said, "I'll give you one hour to bring the meat back and cook it into soup. If you succeed, you will be exempted from today's punishment. If you fail..."
She looked at the three people with malicious eyes and said, "One of you should come up with someone to make the soup."
The big guy in the lead was stunned for a moment. He stared at Han Shanggong blankly, his brows trembling slightly. Pain appeared in his eyes, and his soul seemed to want to break free from the shackles and struggled continuously.
"Hmm?" Han Shanggong just snorted, and the struggle in the man's eyes quickly faded away, returning to the reserved look of an introverted girl. He nodded, picked up a kitchen knife from the chopping board, and walked out.
Compared to this big guy, the two people behind him didn't even show any sign of struggle. They picked up a knife and said to Han Shanggong: "I'll bring back the meat now."
"Go early and come back early." Han Shanggong sat on the chair, took out her cigarette and proudly crossed her legs, but the toes of her feet under her skirt were facing backwards and the heels were facing forward.
It took a puff of tobacco, and the white smoke it exhaled formed a vague human figure, like a human ghost.
*
Hyo-jeong, a woman with short linen hair, and her two companions are searching a house.
After realizing that most of the people here are criminals and she may not be able to seduce a man, the three gave up the plan to steal other people's gold medals and turned to look for the box.
They were lucky as they had found three boxes in succession. The first box contained three gold bars, which were so glittering and exciting.
They divided it up on the spot, one for each person, holding the heavy cigarettes in their hands, with their teeth showing and their eyes wide open with joy.
It was this successful start that gave the three of them the energy to find a new box. This one was as heavy as five gold medals. It was certainly easier to pick it up for free than to snatch it from others, which might not be a success.
As a result, the next two boxes did not contain anything useful, only food.
This did not dampen the confidence of the three men. They had only searched one yard and had such a huge haul. Wouldn't it be more profitable if they searched other yards?
They didn't dare to go to the largest main hall, as it was a mysterious place. They were afraid that there might be some terrible weird things in the main hall, so they only went to the side hall behind the main hall, a courtyard of neither too big nor too small, where there should be some good things.
The house in this yard is built in the center, surrounded by open space. There are two small houses behind the house, and a row of trees are planted against the wall in front.
There were three broken pottery pots under the tree, two of which were completely broken, and the other was covered with cracks.
The soil in the pot was scattered on the ground and formed a small pile. I didn't know what was in the soil. When I entered the yard, I could smell a faint stench coming from the roots of the tree, like rot.
Xiaozhen only took one look at the three piles of soil and then looked away. Each pile was very small, and she didn't think there would be a box hidden inside.
And the smell also made her avoid it.
"What is this place?" Xiaozhen looked at the building in the middle. "It's so big, could it be the princess's residence?"
"The princess's residence is next to the main hall, so this should be the house of one of the concubines." The old man said. He didn't know much about this. His ancestors were all from common people, and he didn't have much education in his life, so how could he know this?
"Why worry so much? Go to the hall and look for the box quickly." The man said anxiously, "Don't let anyone get there first."
"Of course I know."
The three of them entered the palace and started looking in the largest house in the courtyard.
As soon as you enter, you will see neatly arranged tables on both sides of the hall. It looks like a school.
This is not the house of any concubine, but a place where the king and his ministers discuss matters and teach the prince.
The desk and brushes are still there, but the king and his ministers who argued here in the past have turned to dust.
All the decorations are there, including the huge vases placed in the corners and the paintings hanging on the walls. Each one is magnificent. This is a sight you would never see if you normally visit Khan City. When it was visited as a tourist attraction, all the things that could be moved away from the house had long been cleared out.
Xiaozhen and the old man had no interest in these things. Only the man walked around the vase in the corner and asked the old man if he could sell it.
The old man said calmly: "Do you think this is true?"
The man immediately gave up the idea.
He knew what the old man meant. The things placed here were either real but imitations, or they were false illusions created by the Evil Realm.
Even if you can touch it and smell it, an illusion is still an illusion.
Things that cannot be exchanged for money have no meaning, so the man lost interest and turned to look for the box.
When the three were searching for treasure chests in the hall, three people came to the gate. They were three tall men holding kitchen knives. They were looking for meat.
It was really strange. There were obviously twenty people participating in this activity. Although everyone had dispersed into different courtyards, they couldn't meet anyone along the way. The three tall guys passed by two small courtyards and found nothing. They took many twists and turns to get here.
Only then did I hear the sound of someone talking in the hall.
"Meat..." The tall man excitedly gripped the kitchen knife, "The meat that Han Shanggong wants is right there!"
"Quick, get the meat!"
The three men ran into the hall holding knives.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Xiaozhen and the other two in the palace heard footsteps and became alert. The man saw the tall man holding a knife through the half-open window and quickly reminded his two companions: "They have brought knives and are here to steal the gold bars!"
The old man clicked his tongue and touched his pocket first. The heavy weight made him feel at ease. Then he looked around. He knew that his strength was declining day by day and he was no match for the opponent in close combat. He turned his eyes and saw the lamppost on the ground in the corner of the wall. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the wooden lamppost, holding it in his hand as if he was wielding a spear.
As the saying goes, an inch longer means an inch stronger. He doesn't have to win, he just hopes to protect himself and wait for the support of Xiaozhen and others.
If you can win, then fight. If you really can't win, it's okay to give gold to beg for life.
Life should have both setbacks and advances.
At worst, he could still ask for cooperation. After being in the underworld for so many years, the old man has a pretty good grasp of human nature. He is confident that he can convince the three attackers.
Unfortunately, the old man was wrong about one thing. The three people who came to attack were no longer human beings. What they were thinking about was not the gold, but the flesh of the three people.
The first person to rush in was the tall guy. He took a liking to Hyo-jeong's boyfriend at first sight. However, in the eyes of the tall guy, the person in front of him was not a person, but a pig, a real pig that could be slaughtered and eaten.
The three of them came to find meat on the orders of Han Shang Gong. He vaguely remembered that there were many pigs raised in the Khan City, including boars, sows, and a few old pigs whose meat looked very tough.
These pigs were the property of the palace, and they were raised for the purpose of slaughtering them for the New Year banquet. Unfortunately, the palace was short of food, so they could only slaughter one and eat it to fill their stomachs.
You can't kill too many pigs, because if they are all slaughtered there will be nothing to eat.
So when the three of them rushed in, they all tacitly focused on the strongest one - Hyo-jeong's boyfriend, and didn't even glance at Hyo-jeong and her old father.
He didn't even care about the knife in Xiaozhen's hand or the lamppost in the old man's arms.
When someone goes to the pigpen to catch a pig and kill it, he will be on guard against other pigs who may rebel together. Therefore, the three of them did not guard against Xiaozhen and the old man.
When Xiaozhen saw the three men only focused on rushing towards her boyfriend with knives and ignoring herself and her father, she was stunned for a moment. It was not until she heard her boyfriend screaming after being stabbed that she came to her senses. Then she was surprised to find that one of them had his back to her.
The unguarded posture gave Xiaozhen an opportunity. She clenched the knife in her hand and rushed forward. The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and she knocked down the man in one go.
Seeing the other person lying on the ground while covering his wound, Xiaozhen did not hesitate. She was not someone who had never fought before, so she immediately slashed the man's throat.
Looking at the other two men who attacked her boyfriend, she found that they were still swinging knives at her boyfriend, turning a deaf ear to what was happening behind them, even when the man's blood began to flow on the ground and stained the soles of their shoes.
"Hurry, save me, they are crazy!" the boyfriend stretched out his hand and shouted.
Two fists are no match for four hands. How could he withstand the attacks of two people alone, especially those who were holding knives? He was soon hit several times. Although the blows were not fatal, he would still die if he lost too much blood.
It looks like he can't be saved without a doctor.
She glanced at the two people who were waving the kitchen knives wildly with a suspicious look, and then looked at her boyfriend who kept crying for help. The old man next to her grabbed Xiaozhen's arm and shook his head at her.
There's something wrong with those two guys. They might have been bewitched by some evil spirit.
The man is hopeless, so it's better to give up as soon as possible.
Xiaozhen nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly she thought of something and turned back. Under her boyfriend's expectant gaze, she reached out her hand between the tall man and the other attacker and took the gold medal and gold bars from the man's arms.
Seeing that the tall guy and the other man had no reaction to her behavior, she took the gold medals from their pockets. Together with the dead man, this time she reaped a lot of rewards.
A smug smile appeared on Xiaozhen's face.
Watching her and the old man leave, her boyfriend was trapped and kept cursing and swearing. Soon he was no longer able to speak and lay on the ground, dragged away by the tall man and another man.
There was only a dead body and a long trail of blood left.
It was still daytime and bright in Khan City, and only Mangtao and the people in the live broadcast room knew that it was already late at night.
In half an hour, it will be the next day.
Of the twenty people who arrived at Khan City, fifteen were still alive.
