Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

"Babirus Grand Circus".

A large sign stood next to their tent.

“I have no grudge against the circus, but that Leilia came to me, so it’s almost certain that she was instructed by someone.”

Jiuzhiche recalled the original novel about the circus.

The original name was "The Circus is Coming." When the Babirus Grand Circus performed in a town, the publicity was so good that many children and young people came to watch the spectacle.

However, the content of the performance truly challenges one's moral bottom line.

For example, a fire-breathing performance accidentally set the performer on fire, and a clown fell off a rolling ball and broke his leg and neck.

The performers in the human pyramid all lost their grip and fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot, each one dying with a loud thud.

Those walking on the tightrope were sliced ​​in half, knife throwers precisely struck participants in the neck, and even the animal trainers gave the lions an extra meal, using their own...

These performers are obsessed with becoming the so-called star, because that way they can marry the most popular girl in the troupe—Lelia.

Leilia's crush was Mario, who performed a trapeze act, and he too fell to his death with a thud.

In the end, the members of the troupe died one after another, so the troupe leader extended an invitation to the audience: if you join the troupe and become the star, you can marry Leilia.

So, none of the people who went to the circus that day returned home; it's said they were taken away by the circus performers...

This is the end.

Not much useful information was revealed, but from Leilia's words in the original work, we know that the circus ringmaster is a devil who enjoys watching people kill themselves.

Oh, demons...

Jiuzhiche has dealt with demons several times before, so this time, is it a demon that has its eyes on him?

However, it's more likely that it was Takeshi Miyamoto, since the circus arrived shortly after he said he was coming.

What a coincidence!

So, who is Miyamoto Takeshi in the circus?

Jiuzhiche left quietly.

Because that damn dog was snorting and coming towards him again.

......

After school today, Sadako was strolling around the street.

Yesterday, when she was conscious, her mouth tasted sweet.

It's obvious without even guessing that she possessed her and ate a lot of ice cream.

Sadako tried to communicate with her, such as talking to the mirror, but there was no response.

After a half-night of despair, Sadako finally fell asleep.

This time, I didn't dream.

She felt a vague sense of loss.

The kissing scene we filmed for our dream practice last time ultimately didn't materialize.

It was the weekend, and the theater was free, so Sadako went to the place her friend had mentioned to see if the circus still had any tickets.

A large circus tent has been erected in the city's largest square, with advertising billboards at the entrance.

The sign read: "The Babirus Grand Circus is coming, bringing the most exciting and shocking experience to the audience. This is a visually stunning feast!"

"Oh! Beautiful lady, why are you lingering at the door?"

A deep voice interrupted Sadako's thoughts, and she turned to look.

Chapter 141 New Template, Babyrus Grand Circus

He was a middle-aged man wearing a top hat, with a crescent-shaped mustache, and smiling eyes; he had a rather kind appearance.

Sadako placed her hands in front of her, holding a small bag in each hand, and unconsciously tightened her grip.

"I'd like to see if they still have any circus tickets left."

"I see. The tickets were all given away for free these past two days. Miss may not know, but the audience for the Babirus Grand Circus is carefully selected; not just anyone can come."

The middle-aged man stroked his upturned beard.

Sadako took a step back. "Thank you."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"However, I happen to have one ticket left, and I haven't found a suitable person for it yet, so I might as well give it to you, Miss."

Sadako hesitated for a moment, but then she saw that the uncle was already standing in front of her, handing her a black rectangular ticket.

"Our play is absolutely fantastic, you won't regret watching it."

The uncle smiled and stuffed the ticket into Sadako's hand.

On the way back, Sadako glanced at the ticket. It had "Babirus Grand Circus" written in gold on it. The ticket stub was entirely black, and next to it was a colorful group photo with clowns, lions, very short dwarves, and men on all fours...

Sadako spotted the girl standing in the center and her eyes lit up.

But......

When she saw the man and the ticket, she felt very uneasy.

This ticket, in particular, is mostly black, a very dark black, which is unpleasant to look at because the blackness is like a black hole that is about to swallow you up.

Sadako put the ticket into her small bag. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to head home.

Unbeknownst to her, a small face peeked into her bag, examining the ticket.

"Jiuzhiche... if there's danger, will you come...?"

A hint of curiosity flashed across her small face, along with a tiny bit of anticipation that she herself was unaware of.

[The "Spirit" template has been selected]

Spirit: Enhances mental strength, making one's senses clear and mind sharp, and is useful for using templates that consume mental energy, such as purification and telekinesis.

PS1: This template is special. After activation, the progress will not be improved by spirituality, but by one's own mental training. If you do not have the template, it will be extremely difficult to improve your mental strength through training.

PS2: Each time a mental strength bottleneck is overcome, the template progress increases by 10%, theoretically with no upper limit.

Jiuzhi Che finished reading the introduction to the "Spirit" template.

In other words, it is possible to exceed 100% of the progress.

While the "psychic power" template is good, he wants to make his mental power stronger even faster.

The Miyamoto Takeshi we're dealing with this time is most likely related to demons. Purification can be incredibly effective; the stronger one's mental strength, the stronger the purification.

"It will improve purification by 10% and immunity by 5%."

[A total of 30% of spiritual energy was consumed]

[Purification activation progress 50%]

[Immune activation progress 45%]

"Go all in on all four chances to win!"

"unlock?"

Jiuzhiche looked on curiously.

God-level lock-picking skills: In theory, all locks in the world can be opened.

"Can the heart lock work?" Jiu Zhiche muttered to himself, but of course, the system did not respond.

"use!"

Jiuzhiche felt a strong urge to get started, and finally activated the "spirit" template!

As long as you expend mental energy, you will inevitably improve!

That's incredible skill!

Unlike before, I no longer need to use up all my mental energy every time, and there's no guarantee of improvement.

Now Jiuzhiche wants to rush out and find dozens of strange creatures to test the waters.

Tomie glanced at him strangely. What's wrong? Why is he suddenly so excited, like a golden retriever?

She kicked Jiu Zhiche in the waist. "What are you doing? You want it?"

Jiuzhiche held her foot; it was white silk, very smooth and soft.

"Ahem, I got a little too excited."

"Found something new weird? What are you doing all day? You're more interested in weird things than me, you weirdo!"

"Is there?"

Jiuzhi Che squeezed the other person's foot.
