## Concept / Design Notes

### Official News

God’s will, endless reincarnation. In the ignorant village isolated from the world, the cruel rituals that have lasted for a long time are still going on, but the truth behind the sacrifices and sacrifices is ridiculous-it turns out that this is God's will, and it is also a dream that cannot be awakened.

***The ritual of ignorance creates an abyss of pain***

In an ignorant village in the mountains, there is a strange legend popular: every year, people are selected to perform the precepts and sacrifices to the three-faced god as a sacrifice.

One day, the young people in the village encouraged everyone in the village to rebel against this foolish rule. But the people in the village were too timid and did not dare to resist, so they made him serve as a candle bearer. When the candle on him goes out, one person must be selected to be punished by God. And the only girl who supported the candleman became the next person to be punished.

As a martyr, "Maria" was sent to the mountain by the villagers to receive punishment. But she discovered that God had abandoned this law long ago. The chosen people were sent out of that ignorant village by God in despair.

In the poster of Season 15 Essence 2, the supreme three-faced god holds the head of "Maria". "Maria" is tightly tied to the torture chair with a rather painful expression. The candleman beside her was extremely anxious, but what could he do in the face of God?

***Don’t listen or see, don’t speak, believe in God’s teachings***

***Fearless resistance, endless resentment***

The village ruled by ignorance cannot tolerate any resistance. The two young men who bravely stood up were pushed down the abyss of pain by their companions, and they also witnessed the shocking facts.

Cowboy's Exquisite Fashion - The Candle Man has candles burning on his shoulders and head. Once the candles on his body are extinguished, it is the day when a sinner will be punished. He tries hard to resist the punishment, but has to witness the coming of the punishment again and again; the candle oil spreads Next, it will cover his eyes, warning everyone not to disobey God's will; the rather elegant clothes are burning like pieces of paper, and only when the flames cover the whole body can one obtain final relief.

What is more terrifying than the commandments is the ignorance, indifference and cruelty bound by the dream of faith! Facing endless torture and Despair, can you wake up from reincarnation, break the shackles of doctrine, and find the hope of humanity?
