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 human 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 ask 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. 】
三號直播間的分屏中。
三個男人排成一行，頭頂着一碗水，正在學習走路。
而在他們面前，是一個穿深綠色尚宮服的女子，她将發辮盤起，看着非常端莊，只是頭上卻沒有過多的裝飾。
“站沒有站的樣子，坐沒有坐的樣子，彎弓駝背，大腿敞開，你們比男人還像是男人！”
說完就用手裏的藤條狠狠的抽着三人的後背。
評論區都驚呆了。
【嗯……難道他們三個不是男人嗎？】
【是男人，沒錯。】
【他們現在的身份是剛入宮的小宮女，至少在這位‘寒尚宮’眼裏是的。】
【不是說瘋了嗎？就這？】
【是瘋了，因為他們三個，也将自己當做了小宮女。】
【我剛來，搞不清楚到底發生了什麽？】
【沒什麽，就是逃跑的時候，闖進去一個側院，進去後這三人就呆滞住了，而後畫面一轉，突然出現了這個詭異，自稱是什麽寒尚宮，要管教他們三人。我還以為這三人會跑，結果三個大男人，突然表現的像是小女孩一樣，不斷的說自己錯了，下次不敢了，然後就開始被訓了，學習走路，跪拜，但不管怎麽做都被斥責不合格，受罰。】
“禦膳房，洗踏房、洗水間……”寒尚宮一個個念叨着，“每個入宮的宮女，都會被分派到這些部門當中，這裏是禦膳房，主要做的就是料理。”
“會做什麽菜？”寒尚宮詢問道。
三個男人噤若寒蟬，一個字都不敢說。
直到寒尚宮的鞭子又抽了出去。為首的大塊頭才委委屈屈的小聲說了一句：“煮泡面？”
“你讓王族們吃那種平民才會吃的廉價食物嗎！”寒尚宮又憤怒的抽了一下。
她的這句話立即讓長期愛吃泡面的寒國人憤怒了。
【泡面怎麽就不好了？？？】
【很美味的。】
【對，泡面是寒國美食中最不可或缺的支柱。】
【嗯……我不太懂你們寒國人，泡面這東西不是很沒有營養嗎？】
【垃圾食品。】
【怎麽是垃圾食品？泡面是小麥制品，可以提供大量的能量，也含有油脂和脫水蔬菜，可以補充日常生活基本所需的蛋白質、脂肪和維生素。是加班生活中最方便也最快捷，且價格低廉的食品！】
【這……】
【你的每句話都很有理，但我突然很同情你們。】
【劃重點：維持日常生活所需，方便快捷，便宜。】
【再劃重點，便宜。】
【如果哪天低價的營養膏發明出來，一支可以支撐一天能量消耗，我相信寒國絕對是營養膏的消耗大戶。】
【生活，最重要的是第二個字，簡單的說，只要活着就好。】
【那不叫生活，那叫生存。】
【我很想知道寒國人的幸福指數，是不是很低？】
【泡面也很美味啊。】
【确實好吃，但不能一天三次，一周七天的吃吧。】
【我去過寒國，那種二十四小時營業的自助泡面館還是挺不錯的，我去過一次。】
【就一次？】
【體驗過就行了，受不了天天将它當飯吃。】
【說明一下，泡面是我們霓國發明的！！】
【緊張什麽，不申遺。】
【泡面，哦哦，是那種食物吧，我在商城看到過，味道不錯，但是每次燒熱水真的太麻煩了，而且還要準備碗。就只吃過一次，還是自帶紙盒的那種。】
【前面的哪裏人？準備碗都覺得麻煩？】
【米國，我們習慣使用盤子。其實要說便捷，三明治最棒了，或者熱狗，不需要熱，可以直接吃。】
【我實在習慣不了西方的冷食。】
【我無法理解華國的熱水。】
在評論區來自世界各地的網友話題歪向各國飲食習慣時，屏幕中的三人，已經開被寒尚宮訓斥着進行了下一步的培訓：煮湯。
“湯是飯桌上最重要的一道料理，僅次于泡菜。”寒尚宮的鞭子在手裏輕輕的敲擊着，“從清湯，到蘿蔔湯，甜菜湯到肉湯，排骨湯，雪濃湯。不同的菜肴要搭配不同的湯，什麽季節端什麽樣的湯，什麽人喝什麽樣的湯，都是有講究的。”
“現在蔬菜緊缺，能做的最簡單的就是肉湯。”寒尚宮擡了擡下巴，“就從肉湯開始做起吧，做一份出來我看看。”
三個男人站在竈臺前，愣愣的看着案板和菜刀，他們尋摸了整個廚房，只找到一缸水，除此之外沒有看到任何調味料，更沒有做湯的主材料——肉。
“怎麽了，還不動手嗎？”
為首的大塊頭戰戰兢兢的扭過頭看着它：“寒尚宮……肉在哪裏呢？”
“肉？不就在這裏嗎？”寒尚宮眼中帶着疑惑，好像是真的不明白男人為何會問出這樣愚蠢的問題，“整個汗城，不到處都是肉嗎？”
說完她看了一眼窗外：“我給你們一個小時的時間，把肉帶回來煮湯，成功了今日的懲罰就免了。沒有成功……”
她一雙眼珠子滿是惡意的打量着三人：“你們就出一個人，來做湯吧。”
為首的大塊頭愣了一下，他呆呆的看着寒尚宮，眉頭微微顫動，他的眼底出現痛苦之色，靈魂像是要掙脫束縛，不斷的掙紮。
“嗯？”寒尚宮只發出一聲鼻哼，男人眼中的掙紮就迅速褪去，再次恢複成內向女孩的拘謹模樣，他點了點頭，從案板子上抄起一把菜刀，走了出去。
對比起這個大塊頭，後面兩個人連掙紮之色都沒有，也都撿了一把刀拿在手裏，對寒尚宮說道：“我這就帶肉回來。”
“早去早回。”寒尚宮坐在椅子上，拿出煙杆得意的翹起二郎腿，只是裙擺下面的腳丫卻是腳尖朝後，腳後跟朝前。
它吸了一口煙草，吐出的白色煙霧形成了一個模糊的人形，如同人的幽魂一樣。

亞麻短發的女人孝貞和她的兩個同伴正在一棟房子裏搜查。
在察覺到這裏的人多半都是罪犯，她可能誘騙不到男人後，三人就放棄搶奪其他人金牌子的打算，轉而尋找箱子。
他們的運氣不錯，已經接連找到三個箱子了，發現的第一個箱子裏就有着三根金條，金燦燦的讓人心動。
當場就分了，一人一根，沉甸甸的托在手心，高興的見牙不見眼。
也正是這一場開門紅，讓三人鼓足了勁頭要去找新的箱子，這一根的分量可是抵得過五個金牌子，比起哭哈哈從別人手裏搶奪，還未必成功，當然是白撿更加輕松。
結果接下來的兩個箱子并沒有得到有用的東西，全部是食物。
這并沒有打擊三人的信心，他們才搜了一個院子就有這麽大的收貨，去其他院子找一找不是更賺？
最大的主殿他們不敢去，這裏是詭域，他們害怕主殿有非常可怕的詭異，就只去了主殿後面的偏殿中，一個不大不小的院落裏，應該會有不錯的東西吧。
這個院子的房子建在最中央，周圍一圈都是空地，房子後面有兩個矮小的房屋，前方靠牆根種着一排樹。
樹底下有三個破敗的陶盆，兩個已經徹底碎掉，還有一個上面也滿是裂紋。
盆裏的土撒在地上積了一小堆，不知道土裏面有什麽，進到院子裏就從樹根下傳來淡淡的臭味，像是腐臭。
孝貞只看了那三堆土一眼，就移開了視線，每堆土都很小，她不認為裏面會藏着箱子。
而且那股味道，也讓她避之不及。
“這是什麽地方？”孝貞看着中間的建築，“建的這麽大，該不會是王妃的居所吧？”
“王妃的居所挨着主殿，這裏應該是哪位嫔的房子吧。”老頭子開口道。他對這些也不大懂，祖上都是平民出身，這輩子又沒多大文化，怎麽可能知道這些。
“管那麽多做什麽？趕快去殿裏面找找箱子。”男人着急說道，“別被人搶先了。”
“我當然知道。”
三人踏入了殿內，從院子裏最大的房子中尋找。
一進去後就看到殿內兩邊整齊的桌案，看起來像是學堂。
這裏并非哪位嫔的房子，而是王和臣子商讨議事，順便教導世子的地方。
桌案和毛筆仍在，只是當年在這裏争論的王和臣子們已經化為塵土。
所有裝飾都在，擺在牆角的巨大花瓶，挂在牆壁上的挂畫，每一個都美輪美奂，這是平常來汗城參觀絕對不會看到的景象，作為景點被參觀時，房屋內所有可以搬走的東西，早就被清空了。
孝貞和老頭子對這些毫無興趣，也就是男人圍着角落的花瓶轉悠打量，詢問老頭子這東西能不能拿出去賣。
老人淡淡的說了一句：“你認為這些是真的嗎？”
男人立即熄了心思。
他知道老人的意思，放在這裏的東西要麽是真實存在的，但是仿品。要麽就是詭域給構建出來的虛假的幻象。
就算摸得着，也嗅得到，幻象也仍舊是幻象。
無法拿出去換錢的東西沒有存在意義，男人失去了興致，轉而去尋找箱子。
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 wailing 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.
