Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

Why go to all that trouble to have Leilia deliver the tickets to me? What am I planning?

And what about the immortality that Miyamoto Takeshi talked about? Is it related to this circus?

What's your friend's name?

“Lelia, she should have been working in the circus for two years.”

"I am the Joker!"

The laughter from the stage interrupted their conversation. A clown with a big red nose came out riding on a large ball, juggling a small black and white ball in his hand.

Jiuzhiche has good eyesight and can see clearly that the small ball is his eyeball.

Suddenly, the clown slipped and fell off the ball, his foot twisted at an abnormal angle, and he began to wail.

The troupe leader said helplessly, "Everyone saw it, his performance was a failure. Someone, take him away! Replace him with the next one!"

Next up is the fire-breathing acrobat.

Sadako suppressed the churning in her stomach. It was the first time she had ever seen such a bloody scene. What's more, the audience around her, including the actors, were all acting strangely.

What about Leilia?

Does she also have to perform those disgusting acts?

Just as she was about to look away, a hand gently pressed on the back of her head.

Jiu Zhiche pulled her forward, and her face was buried in his chest.

A faint, indescribably pleasant scent filled my nostrils.

The nausea has subsided.

Don't look.

His clear voice dispelled the gloom in her heart.

Sadako suddenly didn't want to get up.

However, the time for separation always comes.

"Sadako, give me your ticket."

Is there a problem with the tickets?

In Jiuzhi Che's hand was Sadako's ticket, which had now turned mostly red.

Sadako's eyes were full of surprise.

“There are rules and regulations in the circus.”

Jiuzhiche lingered in front of the lion cage for a while before noticing the sign behind it. Most people would probably only be attracted by the lion and not see anything else.

The sign listed several requirements.

1. Audience members are not allowed to flirt or banter in the audience.

2. Audience members are not allowed to change seats without permission; once seated, there is no going back.

3. Audience members are not allowed to make phone calls inside the circus.

4. Tickets are linked to the ticket holder.

5. Audience members have an obligation to cooperate with the circus performance.

After hearing Jiuzhi Che's description, Sadako's breathing slowed down.

"I suspect that if the requirements are violated, a black ballot will turn into a red ballot."

As for the fate of the red ticket, it could be death, or it could become expendable material in that shrew's mouth; it's all uncertain.

What about black tickets?

It's not a good thing either.

Those selected by the circus to receive tickets are people chosen by the circus, or rather, by the ringmaster.

Their fate is gradually slipping out of their own control.

Sadako began to worry about Leilia; what kind of circus was this?

She glanced at the people around her; their faces held a mixture of fear and fervent fervor...

The circus possesses a strange and mysterious magic.

"You're scared, let me do it."

A voice echoed in her mind, and Sadako was about to refuse: "Wait..."

The next moment, her gaze changed from worry to composure.

Jiuzhi Che carefully folded and put away Sadako's ticket.

His ticket was already thrown into the lion's belly; after all, the rules didn't say it couldn't be thrown away.

But whether black market tickets are a protective shield or a huge trap remains uncertain.

Therefore, he needed to collect Sadako's tickets first, lest Sadako fall into his trap.

Black Sadako watched his actions and curled her lip in disdain.

She has all of Sadako's memories, so she can naturally guess some of Kujiro's thoughts.

Do you really want to protect Sadako that much?

Jiuzhi Che noticed Sadako's change at a glance: "Black Sadako, I'm going to investigate their backstage area. Be careful."

"Why should I listen to you, you lecherous man?"

"Pervert" is a term I've never heard of.

Jiuzhi Che ruffled Hei Zhenzi's hair and left the audience.

Chapter 148 Lelia's Demonic Nature, a Low-Profile Version of Tomie?

Circus backstage.

Leilia wore a gorgeous performance outfit. The tight mesh corset accentuated her slender waist, and the chest and shoulders were decorated with ruffled lace. The multi-layered skirt cascaded down, and the pure white floral headdress echoed her white performance outfit.

At first glance, it looks like a wedding dress.

Mario glanced outside the door; there was no one else there.

This small, independently built dressing room is a privilege unique to Lelia.

"Honey, you don't look very happy."

Leilia shook her head.

But her worried expression couldn't hide her true feelings.

"Mario, let's run away, run away to somewhere where nobody knows us, escape this terrible place..."

"After today, I promise we will both get what we want, dear Lelia."

Mario kissed the back of Leilia's hand.

"But do you really believe in the immortality the commander talks about? If we could really live forever, would we still be human?"

"I only care about the outcome. As for whether they are human or not, Leilia, as long as we still love each other, what's wrong with that?"

"..."

Leilia remained silent.

She had wanted to escape for a long time.

Two years ago, her family went bankrupt, and she had no choice but to drop out of school and work. She happened to see a flyer that said the circus was hiring, with salary negotiable, no restrictions on education or experience, and everything could be learned from scratch.

Leilia was smitten, little did she know that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

The circus ringmaster never revealed his name, only asking everyone to call him the ringmaster.

He is a... demon!

A demon among men!

In the past two years, Leilia has witnessed too many deaths, corpses, and bloodshed, all of which were due to disobeying the captain's orders or being rejected by the captain.

Because of her good looks, she was favored by the leader of the group, and no matter how much he hit her, he would never hurt her face.

But the physical and psychological torment she endured day and night was driving her almost insane.

She dared not run away, but sometimes she felt that it would be better to die.

After encountering a human pig, Leilia decided that she would rather die than stay there any longer.

But then, she met him.

Mario.

Mario joined the group. He was handsome, gentle, and polite, completely different from those deformed and psychologically twisted guys.

Leilia naturally fell in love with him.

I wanted to run away with him, but he said that the commander had a way to live forever, and we should run away after we got the method!

And so, Lelia stayed, month after month, until her passion cooled.

“Lelia, the person we brought this time is very important. With him, once the captain is happy, his promise of immortality will definitely come true.”

Mario comforted her.

In a daze, Leilia saw Mario's smile.

She wondered, which is more important, immortality or her...?

Jiuzhiche got annoyed. He had used up three invisibility buffs, but the information was too little. Leilia was clearly a love-struck person, her mind filled with thoughts of escaping and Mario.

However, there is one point worth noting.

The commander has a method for achieving immortality, which sounds similar to what Miyamoto Takeshi said.

In the original story, the leader was a real demon, so it's not surprising that he's now dressed as Miyamoto Takeshi.

Mario looked towards the doorway. It was called a doorway, but there wasn't actually a door; there was just a doorway frame for people to pass through.
