Bab 240: 239. Is this what they call pie in the sky?_1

"The Madman's Mouth" released its second trailer, and the internet fell silent.

It was too sudden!

Everyone thought that since the first trailer released by Lu Ban was so brief and uninformative, the actual film was probably just starting production, with actors potentially still being cast—the dough only just kneaded from freshly sowed wheat seeds.

But unexpectedly, within less than a month, the second trailer Lu Ban dropped was incredibly polished.

The trailer's first three monologues were similar in style, yet they evoked different fears.

The first was about shadows; darkness has always instilled a primal fear in us all. Perhaps as a child, you might have imagined a hand or something else lurking in the shadows, ready to snatch you up. Darkness represents the unknown, and fear of the dark is a human instinct.
