"There is indeed a ’forced viewing’ requirement, otherwise the function of the private room wouldn’t be so comprehensive.
On the surface, it seems like a violation punishment mechanism, but it actually hides a deeper meaning... the [Curtain] will continuously transmit the desire to perform to the viewers.
If following the rules, the three-day performance period will continuously accumulate ’performance desire.’
I estimate that only a very few seated on the second tier, with relatively outstanding mental prowess, can survive... Being continuously infused with performance desire , most people will inevitably take to the stage in the latter part of the performance.
Even if they want to suppress the desire, their body won’t withstand it, possibly causing sudden bodily explosion or death."
Since Han Dong sat in the front row,
he never intended to move his line of sight,
not caring about the accumulation of ’performance desire,’ even smiling at the corners of his mouth, seeming quite looking forward to the circus performance ahead.
He also didn’t use the Demon Eye to peek at the troupe leader, as such discourtesy could invite lethal disaster.
the troupe leader’s resounding voice spread to every corner of the venue:
"First, the Dark Dance Troupe will bring the opening performance."
Upon finishing the words, the troupe leader tapped the ground with his staff.
A circle of ripples from the staff spread outwards, and the black fog pervading the stage seemed to be activated, beginning to nurture some kind of life.
The light that gathered on the troupe leader shifted to a dim glow covering the entire stage.
The troupe leader himself also disappeared as the light dispersed.
From within the black fog slowly emerged graceful women, performing flawless soft dances with movements that transcended physical bodies and disregarded joint limitations.
Each dancer, like a liquid, could merge seamlessly with the flowing black fog on the stage, separate for solo performances, or combine perfectly with other dancers.
Every move was executed flawlessly, free of any mistakes.
Han Dong was quickly drawn into the artistic conception the dance intended to convey,
This interpretation of darkness even granted him certain insights into Dark Magic...
If these dancers were regarded as energy flowing within the body, one could construct a more efficient energy circulation framework, significantly enhancing casting speed.
As the performance ended,
the bright lights controlled by the lighting technician instantly filled the stage,
and all the darkness released by the troupe leader was fully dispelled, leaving behind dancers in black dance costumes.
Though their appearances and heights seemed different, the dancers belonged to one cohesive entity.
By the end of the performance, their bodies were interwoven.
Their brains and body trunks disassembled and merged into the main body, yet their limbs remained intact.
The remaining [Dance Teacher] on stage was a tall woman resembling a ’Thousand-Hand Guanyin,’
The gathered limbs distributed in order of length along her back, looking perfectly harmonious even through the lens of normal aesthetics.
At this moment, a wave of intense applause rose from the audience, acknowledging the opening dance.
As the light slowly gathered on her,
her limbs, like those of a Thousand-Hand Guanyin, began folding inwards, merged into one, and she herself made a bowing gesture.
However, she had no intention of leaving the stage.
A soft, captivating voice echoed throughout the venue: "Is anyone willing to come up and dance with me? If the collaboration is successful, I, Alia, will privately deliver a reward."
Circus main member - [Dance Teacher. Alia]
Regardless of appearance, figure, or voice, she absolutely ranks among the top in the aesthetic spectrum, not to mention her soft and flexible body, which adds extra points.
Yet, in the face of this beauty’s invitation, the audience remained indifferent.
Han Dong also did not make a move,
after all, he was not interested in this Dance Teacher... Besides, it’s better for someone else to go up first, allowing Han Dong to more accurately assess the circus’s risk.
Alia said regretfully:
"What a cold audience indeed.
Since no one is volunteering, I’ll have to choose someone who looks ’good at’ dancing."
At this time, the advantage of sitting further back in the second tier became apparent.
Alia’s gaze largely remained in the front row of the first tier. If she couldn’t find someone suitable, she’d then search further away.
Alia’s finger pointed to a seat slightly to Han Dong’s left.
First tier, second row, seat number 75.
According to the circus performance rules, once an individual is chosen as an audience member, they must comply with the performance.
A tall, handsome male audience member with antlers on his head was invited onto the stage, matching Alia well in terms of height and looks... which was exactly why Han Dong was confident he wouldn’t be chosen.
Anyone coming to the circus is relatively special, possessing individual ability,
and someone with his physique likely has some background in dance.
As he stepped onto the stage, the performance desire accumulated in his mind was released, quickly getting into the state.
Proactively holding Alia’s hand,
following the deep, dark melodies, the dance began.
Since it involved inviting the audience to perform, the difficulty was naturally not on par with the opening dance.
The man also displayed his dance skills, cooperating to execute each move... but as time went on, the dance rhythm gradually accelerated.
The man suddenly missed a move but quickly adjusted to catch the next move using his adaptability, keeping the overall dance unaffected.
Alia’s expression changed.
The limbs gathered on her back suddenly extended a part, swiftly grabbing the man’s right hand... swish! A finger was forcibly plucked out, thrown towards the audience area.
Under the ’truth sealing’ state, the audience’s physique equates to that of ordinary people, making the pain from having a finger removed quite intense.
The brain stimulation brought by acute pain, coupled with the ongoing blood loss,
severely disrupted the man’s dance rhythm, resulting in consecutive mistakes,
In the blink of an eye, all five fingers of his right hand were pulled out, and three fingers of his left hand were also removed.
[Survival instincts] caused accelerated adrenaline secretion within the body, forcing the man to temporarily suppress the pain and keep up with the dance.
Alia smiled and said:
"Better not make more mistakes~ If you continue to err, once all your fingers are pulled out, I’ll start dissecting your body..."
As her words ended, the dance rhythm once again accelerated, with several high-difficulty moves added.
Two minutes passed...
Fingers and toes were scattered, thrown under the stage,
The body parts were also cut into different chunks, with some thrown into certain audience compartments, and the service personnel below immediately began cleaning up.
Basking in the blood, Alia was thoroughly enjoying herself, even considering calling a couple more people up to dance.
However, considering there would still be performance opportunities later, and the opening dance shouldn’t take too much time, she bowed and disappeared into the black fog.
This interaction method drew a gasp from the whole audience.
Just as the next program was about to begin, click! A spotlight suddenly focused on a member of the audience sitting towards the front of the [second tier].
The voice of the lighting technician Anus came through:
"Mr. Jiafulong, your view just left the curtain for over five seconds... Just right, before the next performance begins, you will complete a lucky draw to invigorate the atmosphere."
The middle-aged man with a rhino horn on his forehead was shocked, hurriedly explained,
"I was because blood splashed into my eyes, during the cleaning, I inadvertently looked away..."
"Oh? Are you defying the circus rules?
If you don’t get on stage within ten seconds, I will carry out the execution."
