Pennywise died completely back in [Derry Town].
The clown currently appearing on stage can only be sensed by Han Dong… It's a 'residual thought' derived from consciousness.
Or rather, it's the inevitable product of consciousness that comes with fusion of the 'Mad Laugh Attribute'.
It's somewhat akin to a secondary personality, but not quite to the level of a 'personality', and normally doesn't affect Han Dong in any way.
Only during extensive use of Mad Laugh, perceiving on the level of Mad Laugh, or encountering a special scene like the current one, can these residual thoughts deep in consciousness potentially coalesce into a whole.
Forming the image of Pennywise to converse with Han Dong.
In essence, it's merely a self-dialogue within Han Dong's consciousness…
"Governor Willis, you go to the second layer to find the safest spot to sit, I have a different idea."
"You mean?!"
