Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

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, let's run away to somewhere where nobody knows us, let's 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're 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 much death, 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. No matter how much he hit her, he could not 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 work, 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.

Was anyone here just now?

Using the terrain, Jiu Zhiche avoided being seen by others and at the same time explored the backstage area quite thoroughly.

They were all ordinary people, their life force was weaker than that of normal people.

Moreover, their business skills are very poor.

For example, their previous tricks like the rolling ball and the human body splitting magic fully demonstrated their true nature of forcing things where they weren't skilled enough.

From their conversation, it seemed that they were all staying in the circus in order to marry Leilia.

Of course, even if they wanted to leave, they probably could only walk out sideways.

"What's the next program?"

"Lelia and Mario's Flying Trapeze".

"Really? I've been looking forward to this for so long."

"What's so special about it? It's just swinging, catching, and flipping in the air. Even though it's my beloved Leilia performing, there's nothing particularly special about it."

"Hehehe, you don't understand. The highlight is the supporting characters. This time, there will be three pairs of male and female supporting characters 'flying' together on the sidelines, hehehe..."

A green-nosed clown and a blue-nosed clown were chatting, with the green-nosed clown making lewd laughs.

"Hank, I'm going to call Leilia this time. You know, I want to spend more time with her."

"Okay, you go, I'll go next time."

The blue-nosed clown shrugged and stopped, somewhat looking forward to the scene of the three pairs taking flight together.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

After the green-nosed clown shouted for his beloved goddess, he came out but didn't see Hank.

"That kid, he's been taking a dump again, hasn't he? All he does all day is poop."

He didn't pay much attention to it, since it would be a while before the flight crew started flying.

"Next up is our troupe's most popular actress—Lelia!"

With the captain's introduction, Lelia and Mario made their entrance hand in hand.

The green clown kept looking back, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a figure.

"Hank, do you have hemorrhoids? It's been so long, luckily you caught it in time."

Hank said apologetically, "Sigh, you know, my legs went numb from squatting."

"Um, your voice sounds a little different?"

"That's because he kept making noises in the toilet, and his throat is a little hoarse."

"Why does your makeup look a bit light?"

"It's from sweating, that's why it's faded. Hurry up, we're going up!"

Upon hearing the scandalous revelation, Green Xiao quickly ran up to him.

Hank, also known as Jiuzhiche, followed.

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, it was as if a wave of heat rushed out from the audience.

The audience remained highly excited; some had bloodshot eyes, while others clapped wildly until their palms bled.

"Excellent! The most spectacular program in a century!"

"Your performance looked like a joke, a prank, but I didn't see a single flaw. Awesome!"

"So beautiful, so beautiful."

Jiuzhiche could faintly see a red light on them. One audience member stood up, and half of his ticket, which had turned red, was showing in his pocket.

It seems he guessed correctly. Even without violating the rules, as people watch more and more shows, their rationality will be completely exhausted, and their votes will turn red.

Unless one has a very strong will, it is possible to last longer.

Only a few people in the audience stood up and cheered, and they weren't so crazy.

In the audience, Black Sadako yawned, half asleep.

So boring, so incredibly boring.

That's all child's play.

Her eyes casually swept across the stage, and Black Sadako spotted a clown.

It's amazing, I saw him at first glance.

That blue-nosed clown looks remarkably like someone.

After looking for two seconds, Black Sadako's lips curled into a smile.

That's interesting; he's going to go up and cause trouble.

Black Sadako's heart began to stir; she wanted to go up and play too.

Before she could take any action, she froze.

Because the aerial acrobatics on the field have begun.

The main characters are a man and a woman, dressed fairly normally. They catch each other in the air, and their body flips are quite beautiful.

But there were three other couples nearby, whose clothes were not as glamorous as the main couple's.

Of course it won't be fancy.

They were dressed very lightly, basically just a few strips of cloth hanging down.

They also perform "aerial acrobatics," but it's a unique skill representing the great harmony of humanity.
