Pennywise had died long ago in Dry Town.
Only Han Dong could sense the clown that appeared on the stage … It was a 'lingering thought' derived from his consciousness.
In other words, it was a product of his consciousness when he integrated the Mad Laughter attribute.
It was a bit similar to a secondary personality, but not to the extent of a 'personality'. It usually did not affect Han Dong at all.
Only when he used the Mad Laughter attribute on a large scale, or when he encountered a special situation like the one in front of him, these lingering thoughts in the depths of his consciousness could condense into a whole.
It formed the image of Pennywise and talked to Han Dong.
In fact, it was just Han Dong's self-talk in his consciousness.
"Governor Willis, go to the second floor and find the safest seat. I have other ideas."
"Do you want to?!"
Governor Willis had already noticed that Han Dong had been staring at the front row for a long time. He was not in a good state and could guess what was going on.
"That's right. It's not easy to get here. I still want to watch the show seriously …"
"Okay, see you in three days."
Governor Willis would not bite the bullet and choose the front row like Han Dong. He knew very well that the young man in front of him had other ideas and had the strength to realize them. It was better for him to be conservative.
There were also other audience members entering the venue.
Those who could come to the main venue so early were not simple characters. They had also secretly inquired about some information and knew that going to the second floor to choose a seat was the wisest choice.
However,
When they chose their seats on the second floor, they noticed that a young man who came to the main venue earlier than them actually walked to the front of the first floor alone.
Without any hesitation, he sat in the first row of seats.
"Is this guy here to die?" A strong audience member with a dinosaur's back whispered.
An audience member wearing an owl mask next to him had a different opinion. "To be able to arrive here earlier than us, he must be a very capable guy … It doesn't seem like he's here to die. It's more like a challenge to the circus.
There should be a good show to watch! "
…
In the deepest part of the circus.
It was also the origin area of the eternal darkness. All the darkness came from this passage.
Not many people could resist the darkness here under the 'Truth Seal' … However, there was a burst of fire at the entrance of the passage. It seemed weak but it could expel the darkness.
The person who came was the [Butler] who had a candlestick as his head.
It seemed that this was not his first time here. He adjusted the candle's burning efficiency to the maximum and walked steadily into the depths.
When he reached out and pushed open the iron door at the end … Buzz! The darkness dissipated.
The interior was actually an ordinary room without any dark elements, similar to a modern apartment.
Sizzle! The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and at the same time, they could vaguely hear someone humming.
The housekeeper came to the bathroom door respectfully. Unknowingly, a clean bath towel was hanging on his arm.
Not long after.
A long-haired man with a height of two meters slowly walked out of the bathroom … Overall, he looked like an ordinary human, and there was nothing special about him.
After wrapping himself in the towel handed over by the butler, he asked softly,
"How's the situation at the main venue?"
"Everything is normal … However, there is a very special audience this time.
He was not a native of this world, but came from the Black Tower. The individuals who can find out about us in the Black Tower either have a strong background or a deep connection with the Dark Net. "
"This kind of thing isn't very special, right?"
The butler continued methodically, "That's right. The most important thing is that I smell the scent of 'Clown' from him."
"Oh? Baggins's people? "
"No … I mean the previous generation of Clown."
For a moment, the man's expression became solemn. "Continue."
"Captain, don't be nervous. After these few days of contact, we can basically confirm one thing … He is not Pennywise or a mutant affected by the Clown virus.
I speculate that Pennywise has been killed by this person, and through some means, he fused with the characteristics of Clown. "
"Interesting! Have you found out about this person's information? "
"The Black Tower has classified his information as highly confidential, and it is impossible to find out."
Dong!
It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread across the entire lake.
For this person, his peaceful and ordinary daily life seemed to have become interesting.
…
As time went by.
More and more audience members arrived at the scene, but still, no one chose to sit in the front row.
Han Dong, on the other hand, looked like he was enjoying himself. He adjusted the recliner to a 45 ° angle, placed a large bucket of popcorn on one side and a liter of carbonated soda on the other. He did not feel threatened at all.
There were only ten minutes left.
Since most of the seats had been chosen, the audience members who arrived at the scene only had the front row to choose from.
When they passed by Han Dong's cubicle, their expressions were more or less nervous.
"Is it finally going to start?"
Time was up.
An indescribable pressure forced the restless crowd to stop, and the crowd was covered in silence.
Layers of black air seeped out from the stage. The audience sitting in the front row could clearly feel the black air seeping through their calves. It was like being immersed in an ice cave, and even the lower half of their body lost feeling.
Pa!
A vertical white light shone in the middle of the stage.
A long-haired man wrapped in a black down cloak appeared in the light, holding a black gemstone cane.
He was wearing a shirt, vest, trousers, and shiny leather shoes.
In front of him was a luxurious chest chain made of special material.
When he appeared, he bowed in four different directions.
"Welcome to the Dark Circus. I am the founder and leader of the circus. You can call me [V].
Next, I will explain the discipline of the venue. This will be closely related to the upcoming performance and the lives of everyone present. Please listen carefully.
1. Noise is strictly prohibited. Once you interfere with the performance, you will be executed.

You will be sentenced to capital punishment through a lottery.
This is also a kind of performance. If you want to take the initiative to play, we also encourage you. "
At this point, another beam of light shone down on a turntable filled with different 'capital punishment'.
Some of the capital punishments made one's scalp tingle.
"3. Any audience members who are selected, selected, or meet certain conditions to be on stage, please cooperate. If there is any struggle, escape, or attempt to muddle through, you will be executed immediately.
Please follow the above three requirements.
Please don't be too nervous. We only have to set these harsh rules for the smooth performance … Please rest assured that the circus will bring you an extreme performance that surpasses the limits of your visual senses. "
