The dark side of human nature.
To put it bluntly, it was something that existed in the deepest part of one's nature. In order to survive in social circles, people would hide it and were unwilling to admit that they had this nature.
But Han Dong was different.
As early as in the Abyss of Chaos, he had already completed his understanding of 'self'. This kind of opportunity, the liquid that exposed the dark side of human nature, did not affect him much at all.
Because he had never deliberately disguised himself, he could express himself at any time.
The injection at the back of his neck only made him feel a cold feeling spread throughout his body, allowing him to enter a performance state where he wanted to "express his nature."
Seeing the audience around him express their dark side one after another, revealing their true selves, coupled with Baggins's emotional catharsis.
Han Dong officially treated this place as his stage.
From the deepest part of his body, from the abyss, came the truest and craziest laughter.
Hahahahaha!
Han Dong's laughter instantly drowned out all the noise in the audience.
Even the laughter of those who had been assimilated by Baggins, and even Baggins's own laughter, were drowned out … or completely assimilated.
"What kind of laughter is this!? It's so dangerous. "
Baggins felt a potential danger from it. Even the effect of the medicine he injected into his body weakened a lot, and he became slightly clear-headed.
At the same time.
He recognized one thing clearly. This young man's [Laughter], whether it was quality or level, was above his … Therefore, Baggins made a last-minute decision.
His hands clasped into the skin on the right side of his face.
He tore off the entire right side of his face that represented 'joy' and temporarily put it into the inner pocket of his suit.
Then, he let the 'sadness' spread from the left side of his face to the entire face. An extremely gloomy aura spread out … Even the clown's clothes turned pure white.
In this way, he resisted Han Dong's laughter.
Even so,
Baggins still felt strained, but he had to stick to the stage no matter what. After all, this was his closing performance.
At the same time, the audience on the stage who were fighting each other and venting their desires were stunned.
Even though blood was still spurting out from their necks,
Even though their brains were already exposed,
Even though their large intestines were scattered all over the ground,
They all stopped what they were doing, and the corners of their mouths curled up in an extremely tense manner.
The next second.
Crack! The sound of bones turning came from the neck.
Regardless of whether the audience was facing him from the front, the side, or the back, they all turned their heads and looked at the clown, Baggins.
Furthermore, they used their own blood to paint a scarlet smiley face.
The frequency of their laughter was almost the same as Han Dong's.
"This is!"
Baggins naturally wouldn't be intimidated by these guys.
However, there was a kind of conscious influence that made him feel fearful.
At this moment, he seemed to have peeped into a horrifying doomsday scene. "Red will be the main color of the world, and all the creatures in the world will be beheading themselves while laughing. What's even more exaggerated is that the severed heads will float in the air like balloons and continue to laugh maniacally. "
Baggins even peeked into his head in this apocalyptic scene.
The suppressive feeling brought about by this concept made him instinctively retreat.
By the time he realized this, his body had already left the stage, and the main character on the stage was no longer him.
"Did I lose? That's ridiculous.
This person was actually able to develop [Laugh] to such an extent, far surpassing my understanding. I had indeed lost.
Sigh ~ Anyway, I've been in the circus for several years. It's time to start a new adventure. "
Baggins still maintained an optimistic and cheerful mental state, even though the left side of his face couldn't stop crying.
Putting the right side of his face back, both faces no longer showed any excessive emotions. They turned into an audience outside the venue, silently admiring Han Dong's performance.
At this moment.
The individuals affected by the maniacal laughter held hands and formed a regular hexagon between the curtains, with Han Dong surrounded in the center.
As they continued to laugh, the liquid that had been injected into their bodies flowed out from the corners of their mouths, and they slowly returned to their human states.
The liquid that flowed out flowed towards the center and was absorbed by Han Dong.
This made Han Dong sink into a deeper state of maniacal laughter.
Until a notification came from his brain:
[Detected that the compatibility of the "Maniacal Laughter Puzzle" has reached 100%. [Fatal Joke] has been upgraded to [Doomsday Joke]. The relevant characteristics are as follows:
[Doomsday Joke]
The maniacal laughter factor's transmission rate, invasion and influence efficiency, and range of effect have reached the maximum.
When the invasion reaches a certain level, it can directly act on the "Space of Consciousness", causing the apocalypse to descend. Once the apocalypse is formed, the individual will be completely disintegrated by the root of truth, and there is no possibility of resurrection.]
At this moment.
The captain, who was sitting in the audience, showed a surprised and uncomfortable expression.
The "Limit of Truth" was set by him,
At this moment, there was an extremely strong consciousness impact, trying to tear this shackle, and the source was Han Dong on the stage.
It was the first time the captain had seen this kind of consciousness impact transmitted through laughter.
Suddenly,
A stream of blood flowed out from his nose.
The butler hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and the candle above his head was also very surprised.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"I'm fine … I'm just not used to it."
At this moment.
Han Dong stopped laughing maniacally, stood in the middle of the stage, and made an elegant gesture of curtain call … He didn't kill the audience who cooperated with him, and took the initiative to remove all the doomsday effects.
At this point,
The circus performance was all over.
Although the 20 people who participated in the final segment were seriously injured, they all survived.
Han Dong showed a satisfied expression, feeling the changes in his body. The surface of the stone tablet in the depths of the abyss was shining with the red light of a smiling face.
"The compatibility of the first puzzle piece is finally saturated … There are still two pieces left.
I didn't expect that this trip to the circus would satisfy and release the remaining "Clown Attribute", completely filling the puzzle piece's compatibility in advance.
I originally wanted to follow the circus to various worlds to perform to improve the crazy laughter's comprehension, but now there's no need for that.
I have enough strength to officially embark on the road of collecting the "Book of the Dead". "
Han Dong, who had finished his performance, didn't step down from the stage.
Instead, he turned and walked to the other side of the stage, where the clown Baggins was.
"Mr. Baggins, I'm really sorry! I took your position at the last moment. "
"This stage was originally prepared for more suitable people. I'm just a 'loser' … The title of clown will be yours. I look forward to your next performance, and I hope you do better than me."
Strike while the iron is hot.
At this moment, the leader also stood up and made an inviting gesture.
"Mr. Han, I officially invite you to take on the role of [Clown] in the Circus of Darkness."
A direct invitation from the leader was the highest honor in the circus. They could even add a few benefits clauses that others didn't dare to think of when signing the labor contract.
But …
"Ah? Is there a misunderstanding? I'm just here to watch the performance.
Mr. Baggins' performance as [Clown] was impeccable. I have no intention of taking the position … Thank you very much for the invitation, but I really don't have the time.
B.B.C.'s current situation isn't optimistic. As a candidate for M and a middleman between both sides, I have a lot of things to do. "
"A candidate for the Original Alphabet!"
The circus members were shocked, but the director, clown, and butler who had dealt with Han Dong before weren't too surprised.
The leader looked enlightened. No wonder Han Dong's information couldn't be found at all.
"I see … Our circus can't invite someone like you.
However, can you stay for a post-performance dinner with us tonight? "
"Of course."
"The banquet is already being set up. We can go over now."
When they left the stage.
Suddenly, Han Dong placed a hand on Baggins' shoulder and whispered into his ear, "Don't worry.
"Mr. Baggins, your [Smile] has a completely different nature. Your emotional management is also the best I've ever seen … If you're interested in the future, you're welcome to work for me.
I believe that with our similar identities, we'll get along very well. "
