The bet ended.
The number of survivors dropped from 45 to 20.
During the bet, two groups of people spent a lot of time not completing the bet because the rules weren't set properly. In the end, they were executed for exceeding the time limit.
According to the rules, when the number of people was less than 10% (25 people) of the initial number, they would enter the final round.
…
Clown Baggins stared at the "Big Ghost Card" in his hand and froze in place. It was as if his mentality was changing.
He had once come to the circus by chance and was invited to become a clown. He was curious about one thing … Why were the other members replacing their predecessors with their strength, while he was filling in the empty spot?
As Baggins slowly became familiar with the circus, he began to secretly inquire about the former clown.
At first, when he asked about the other members, everyone's expression would become very ugly and they were unwilling to say much.
Only Mr. Anus, who was in charge of controlling the lights, and the handyman, Shawn, were willing to reveal some information. In summary, it was disgusting and uncomfortable.
Just being in the same room as the former clown made him feel uncomfortable all over. No one in the circus liked him at all.
However, the former clown's performance was excellent. This was the main reason why he was able to stay.
In the end, the reason why Pennywise was kicked out of the circus was because of the unanimous complaints of all the members. The head of the circus considered the stability and overall integrity of the circus and decided to dismiss him in advance.
Later.
Baggins, whose status gradually rose, obtained detailed information about Pennywise in the circus's archive room.
It was also at this time that he began to have a strong interest in his predecessor. He even inquired about information in the Black Tower during his vacation … Unfortunately, when he finally found the B.B.C. (Black Tower Control Headquarters), the clues were completely cut off.
Until today.
This young man, who was very similar to Pennywise, came to the circus as an audience member.
"This guy's ability … What is it?"
Baggins came to the top of the corpse that had been flattened by the collapsed roulette and found that there were tentacle-like strips of flesh wriggling.
He carefully used his cane to attract these tentacles together and then used a similar magic box to collect all the tentacles.
Fortunately, he was under the "Limit of Truth."
These strange tentacles didn't have the characteristics of splitting, deformation, spreading pollution, and so on. They only burrowed into the body like parasites and then corroded and affected the body.
As long as he didn't touch it directly, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
"This should be an attribute unique to Hybrid Demons. Why would it appear on this human youth? And he happened to be related to Pennywise.
Is this the reason why I can't find any information on the Black Tower?
This is the first time I've met such an interesting opponent. "
Baggins' ability to adjust his emotions could be said to have reached the pinnacle.
What happened just now did not cause him to fall into a state of irritation. Instead, it made him become serious … He even put the "Big Ghost Card" in his pocket as a souvenir, so that he could use it to reflect on this "defeat" at any time in the future.
"Dear audience members who have won the bet, you have obtained the right to participate in the final segment! After our staff has cleaned up the scene, I will announce the relevant rules of the game.
If you go one step further, you will be able to survive the performance of this circus and obtain a "survival certificate" issued by the circus. As long as it is a slightly larger world, this certificate will be recognized.
Of course, I also hope that I can dig out real talents who can serve the circus from among you. "
Not far away, Han Dong looked at Baggins, whose emotions did not change at all, and gave him a look of approval.
"Not bad … That's more like it. If you can't even manage your emotions, you're too weak."
When the stage returned to normal, Baggins the clown began to speak before the final segment.
"The Dark Circus was originally called the 'True Vision Circus'. The name is related to our boss, [V].
True Vision often sees the dark side. In order to make it easier for the audience to accept, it was later renamed the Dark Circus. The overall style is also mainly dark.
No matter what kind of world it is, when all creatures obtain basic cognitive abilities, they have already put on a "mask" for themselves. A mask used for camouflage, allowing them to better adapt to the group, society, or world.
It was the same for reality shows.
The actors on stage used the skills they had practiced for a long time to disguise themselves in front of the audience and win the hypocritical applause and cheers … In reality, it could not fill the void in their hearts, nor could it achieve a truly perfect performance.
The most perfect and top-notch visual enjoyment had to be realized through reality.
The creation of the circus was for this. It was to provide a place for everyone to reveal the truth, appreciate the truth, and show the truth. It was to bring everyone the most perfect visual feast.
The "final segment" requires you to take off your masks and show your truest side.
And the circus happened to prepare such a special drug for everyone to remove their masks.
In addition, as the person in charge of the closing performance, I will also participate. "
At the end of the speech.
A group of 'special audience' had already appeared in the audience.
It was the group leader who had participated in the circus performance, such as dancer Aliya, director Christian, and so on. They would be special audience members to enjoy this true performance.
Those who performed well would receive a direct invitation to the circus.
At this moment.
Syringes filled with black crystals were delivered to the survivors.
Baggins the clown began to explain how to use them.
"The way to use the syringe is very simple. You just need to insert it directly into the back of the cervical spine and push it all into the body.
If the injection fails or is not completed within the stipulated five seconds, it will be regarded as an automatic disqualification and will be executed directly.
The duration of the injection is' fifteen minutes'.
When the effect ends, the performance will also come to an end. Those who survive will be the last survivors of this circus performance. Good luck. "
Baggins held the syringe at the back of his neck with one hand and raised his other hand in the air.
"Everyone, listen to my command! 3, 2 … 1! "
At the end of the countdown.
Everyone pushed the syringe.
A cold liquid mixed with small crystal particles was injected into the body.
Some kind of 'restriction' in their consciousness was completely opened. Not only did their bestial nature surge out, but some of the characteristics and talents that they had originally lost all returned.
They either grew fangs, or dense spikes grew out of their backs, or their entire bodies were covered in pitch-black fur.
The dark side in the survivors' bodies was unreservedly released. Biting, sneak attacks, and even mating.
Baggins the clown was also affected. His hands covered the corresponding half of his face, as if he was crying, but also as if he was snickering …
Anyone who tried to attack or get close to Baggins would be affected by any kind of emotion.
Or they would laugh incessantly, unable to do anything else until they were killed by others or died.
Or they would cry incessantly, fall into endless despair and sorrow, and find a dark and deserted area alone to end their own lives.
At this moment.
Hahahaha!
A burst of laughter of a completely different type and concept spread throughout the audience.
Even the special guests in the audience felt their hair stand on end when they heard this kind of laughter. They revealed expressions of extreme disgust.
"Pennywise!"
"No … It's indeed very similar to that disgusting clown's laughter, but this guy's laughter is a level higher. It's mixed with the most extreme kind of madness.
I have to wear earplugs. It's really uncomfortable! "
The members discussed with each other.
Only the captain and the butler remained silent.
