Of course, I don’t mean now, but… later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This “later” is quite obvious, implying when the Magician is fired from the circus or doesn’t want to do it for personal reasons, Han Dong will leave him a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Mr. Bokes is working for me, you two should know each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>([Comical Bokes] – a former scene designer for the circus, now an engineer at the Ladybug Foundation, assisting in the renovation and expansion of a prison within Han Dong’s brain)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bokes? He’s working for you… who exactly are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk after the performance; my body has recovered quite a bit, so let’s help others quickly… once the brain death occurs, your performance will fail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Han Dong’s reminder, the Magician finally realizes that the performances of others are still ongoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Magician participates, the audience members are restored one by one, removing the ‘unqualified’ products and inviting another batch of audience to fill the numbers, and the magic continues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic show lasted for ten rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After participating in the second round, Han Dong continuously engages till the end in a normal rational state, constantly wandering on the edge of life and death, experiencing the ‘fatal disorder’ brought by being torn and haphazardly pieced together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even immerses himself in it to gain understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not only the [Dark Puzzle] related to death that sees an increase in compatibility, but the [Mad Laugh Puzzle] is also slightly improving, seemingly related to the “Deadly Joke”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the performance, Han Dong is once again nominated as the ‘Best Assistant’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he steps down from the stage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong intentionally brushes past the Magician, gently tapping his shoulder with his index finger, whispering: “Remember our agreement, if you’re interested, come find me later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inherently violent [Magician] who completely disregards life appears extraordinarily shy in front of Han Dong and nods very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Han Dong returns to his seat, a relatively common gift is delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic is just a surface participation, compared to deep-stage theatrical performances, it’s several levels… The gift Han Dong receives is one-time, coming from a carefully prepared banquet by the circus’s back kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only can it fill an empty stomach, but it can also replenish his blood and energy, fully restoring the physical injuries sustained during the magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A banquet of such tonic nature as a reward is certainly a temporary arrangement by the circus, to let me recover and continue the next show… or it could be a deliberate arrangement by the troupe leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong doesn’t really care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the performance is of interest to him, or beneficial to himself, he will participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, only 12 hours of performance time have passed, only one-sixth completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upcoming performances, in terms of “excitement” or “death toll,” show no signs of decreasing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the ‘multiple acrobatics’ brought by [Acrobat Sean] resulted in the deaths of a hundred spectators… More than ten people were directly cut in half or fell to their deaths just by walking on the wire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Hundred Beasts performance brought by [Beast Tamer Bal] was equally wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be noted that this happens to be a large world dominated by hybrid Beast Men, and the Beast Tamer directly selected nearly a hundred highly beastified spectators on site to tame them live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Bar’s control, the activated beastly audience members took turns executing one highly difficult performance after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the performance ended, Bar requested the assistance from the scene designer to set up a beast fight arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving audience members were not released and continued to be thrown into the arena, performing a spectacular wild beast battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final surviving sphinx was taken away by Bar, to be his new pet for a long period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this manner, the circus performance went on for two whole days and nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came to “the last day,” the number of surviving spectators in the venue was only 249.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when they thought the next thrilling performance was about to begin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troupe leader himself slowly walked out to the middle of the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I assume that after watching the performances for two days, some of you may feel a bit exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I will remove the ‘watching the stage’ restriction and give you an additional three-hour rest period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suggest you take a good rest or perhaps a nap. So far, our basic performances have concluded, and on the last day, we will present the [Closing Performance] to you all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your spirits are not fresh, it might just be the end for you here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a very few, most audience members fell fast asleep in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong tilts his chair back 45° intending to have a good sleep, having gone through many performances, there’s no need to even think to predict that the grand finale would surely come with a higher fatality rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Han Dong is concerned about is not the “fatality rate,” but a yet-to-appear special member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems this Black White Clown holds quite a status in the circus, being the only one who hasn’t appeared yet, the closing performance is evidently his sole responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as well, I also want to have some fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong doesn’t feel nervous at all, closing his eyes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps influenced by the circus setting and his mindset changes after participating in various performances, during a short three-hour sleep, Han Dong had a very strange dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dream, it was still the main hall of the circus, except there were no spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the stage, a small wooden table and two chairs in black and white were placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar Pennywise was sitting in one of the chairs and tied a balloon to one corner of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, he held a special deck of playing cards… The back of the cards featured the circus’s eye pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the two of them were about to engage in a ‘bigger or smaller’ gambling game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha ha~ You pick first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pennywise graciously allowed the first pick, to which Han Dong naturally showed no politeness… In such a game, the right to pick first is crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even in the dream, Han Dong was still restricted and couldn’t see through the cards, he could only pick one based on feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong’s hand grabbed a “Little Devil card.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its image was identical to the current clown of the circus, in black and white, holding a signature staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting opposite, Pennywise revealed a “Big Devil card” identical to him in form, with a sinister grin while holding a balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I win~ My apologies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any reaction time, his head was already severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the head rolling on the table remained alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why am I wearing this outfit?” Only now did he notice that Han Dong was indeed dressed in a half-white half-black suit… It seemed he himself was the Black White Clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pennywise, seated opposite, took a deep breath after winning the bet and removed an entirely realistic human-skin mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious figure hidden under Pennywise’s mask had no facial features at all, resembling a balut egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this time, the dream ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Han Dong groggily opened his eyes, the circus hall had completely changed, transformed into a fully interactive life-sized game scene.\u003C\u002Fp>",1350,"2026-06-03T14:09:18.815Z",1,"novelbin.me","c38dc114430207123fb15e1f476c978977b5f3bc2d38378f14c8dd226429e3d3","my-cell-prison-chapter-1833","my-cell-prison-chapter-1831",2176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-cell-prison-cover.jpg"]
