The final gentleman

A group of "receptionists" with exaggerated makeup and wired eyelids holding various tools went to the magic area. In just one hour, they dug out a single room for living and arranged and decorated it according to the design drawings.

finally,

An assistant's room with one bedroom and one living room was built, and a house plate "W.B" representing William's name was posted on the side of the door.

Since William had just become an assistant, the layout of the room was basically the same as that of an ordinary private house, and only basic magic props were provided. If you wanted to use advanced props, you had to submit an application.

However, as William performs within the circus in the future, he will have the opportunity to upgrade his house by solving problems, performing on stage, improving his status, or getting praise from his boss, etc.

Catherine sat on the edge of the bed and kicked her legs back and forth, "William, seeing how shabby your house is, you should quickly improve your status in the circus.

Although I can't directly go on stage for a "trial operation" performance, I can give you some off-site support, such as pretending to be a receptionist and feeding the audience some food mixed with nightmare substances in advance, so that they can be more easily fooled into thinking. Control, and easier to shape your thinking. "

"Speaking of dreams, do they count as magic?"

"Why not? The reason Uncle Jia En was very optimistic about me was because of nightmares! Hypnosis-type performances can also be considered magic."

When he heard this, a bold idea flashed in William's mind.

"Hmm...does the trial stage allow for extensive renovations?"

"Oh? William, you seem to have a lot of ideas. Large-scale changes require an application to the higher authorities. After all, the materials and manpower of the circus are needed.

There will be a problem here. If the total amount of fear recovered from the performance cannot cover the cost of setting up the stage, you will be judged to have failed the performance.

If you fail in a low-level performance like a trial run, which is the lowest level of mistake, your assistant title will be stripped directly, and you may even need to repay the circus's losses with your body and soul. "

William was not worried at all, "It's okay, as long as you don't cheat me, Catherine."

"Bah! If I wanted to trick you, I would have just let the boss eat you in the clown house. You don't even think about who stood up and spoke to you in the acrobatic troupe."

"I'm just talking. Besides, when Mr. Rabbit arrived at the acrobatic troupe, weren't you the furthest away?"

Catherine jumped up from the edge of the bed, and took out the black and white makeup box from the treasure chest to touch up her makeup to prevent her cheeks from turning abnormally red.

"That rabbit is very scary, isn't it!? I used to be a deputy clown. When I had the opportunity to visit the acrobatic troupe, I was caught by that rabbit because of some trivial matters. All my bones were broken and my muscles were damaged. I was cut into noodles. If Mr. Jain hadn't arrived in time, I might have been used as rabbit feed.

Ever since that incident, I've been afraid of rabbits.

If I hadn't taken William on a tour today, I would never have gone to the acrobatic troupe. "

"Is that a trivial matter? You trampled to death more than ten rabbits in a row. Those are all part of Mr. Rabbit, and they are also important informants in the acrobatic troupe.

If you are so offensive in other areas, you will certainly be punished enough according to the character of the rabbit. "

Accompanied by the sound of a third person's voice, the magician Jain, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, came to this small single compartment.

"Don't people know~"

Jain came to William's side, "Although Mr. Rabbit is cruel, he is also a very self-disciplined and well-behaved guy. Compared to Art, he is easier to get along with."

"Well... I'm lucky enough to meet Mr. Rabbit this time. I think he's pretty good."

Jain didn't comment much and turned the topic back, "How is William's training? I think Catherine must have told you about the trial operation. Tomorrow is the last day. Try to get on stage and let me see your acting talent. ."

"I already have the basic idea, something like this."

William told Jain his idea. After all, he had never done it in the circus. Whether this idea can be realized and whether some details can be achieved, it is better to listen to Jia En's opinion.

"Is it possible to achieve the effect of combining reality and reality through scene construction? If a performance of this difficulty can achieve the desired effect, it can even be used for formal performances.

If you are sure you can do it, I will help you fill out the application. Such a large-scale scene arrangement requires a large number of people, and it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Let’s do this~ Your program will be arranged for the finale of the trial operation tomorrow, and the number of viewers will reach the maximum by then. If you can achieve the expected results, you will not only be able to repay the cost of the stage renovation, but also get a lot of funds for you, and even It's possible to get attention from the circus.

You can spend the rest of the day doing your "thinking rehearsal." "

"Please Mr. Jain."

"I'm looking forward to your first performance tomorrow. If I'm free, I'll be there to watch it."

"good."

When Jain left, Catherine also raised her little hand and shook it super fast, her eyes full of admiration.

"Hehe, if Uncle Jia En helps you write the application, then this matter will basically be done. Don't screw it up!"

"Catherine, stop talking nonsense and cooperate with me in the "dream rehearsal", right?" With your ability, you should be able to simulate the scene I need in a dream, and every detail needs to be shaped in place.

Also, I got to try out the new stuff you gave away. "

"Huh? It's very difficult to create a dream about a scene like this that I've never seen before... unless you let someone peek into your memory and the clear images in your brain."

"Come on~"

Click~ William opened the skull very skillfully, and the dark brain appeared in front of him.

The book imprint located on the back of the head, representing "lecturer", also changed with William's subjective consciousness, turning into a micro-interface similar to Type-C.

"Well, can you still be so crazy? This is my first time seeing you... Then I want to come in!"

Catherine was so excited that she also opened her skull, and a completely different scene appeared.

"Nightmare Brain"

Evolved from her earliest migraines, now reaching a more perfect posture through nightmare pathways,

Not only is the brain structurally different, the entire brain ventricle has formed a complete interactive system.

The inner wall of the skull cavity is neatly arranged with hundreds of women's faces (the size of quail eggs) of the same size. All the faces keep their mouths open, and a nightmare root spits out from their mouths and connects to the central brain.

An equally dark and moist brain hangs in the center of the skull cavity, with nightmare tentacles wrapped and growing on its surface. The overall impression is like a weird-looking deep-sea octopus.

The female face surrounding the skull is like its most devout believer.

Gajigaji~ A completely different octopus tentacle grew from the main brain, and its end was slowly inserted into the back of William's head.

For a moment.

Catherine was taken to the orphanage from a third-person perspective and experienced firsthand what William had experienced.

About an hour passed.

Catherine pulled out the brain terminal cable in advance and stared wide-eyed, "William! What the hell is this place...are these humans so perverted?"

"Yes, that's why I wasn't too touched when I peeked into your memories, Catherine, because we didn't seem to have had a very good childhood.

Okay~ You’ve also read the memory, so hurry up and help with the “dream rehearsal”. "

"You...okay."

In this way, the two of them maintained a state of brain-to-brain connection, without thinking about food or drink, and did not make any movement all day and night.

However, during the connection period, dark matter continued to overflow from the two people's brains.

The nightmare liquid that overflowed from Catherine's brain, assisted by the black liquid from William's brain, painted an exquisite and high-level personal portrait on the wall of the current room.

Robes of ashes, crosses, hangings, doors of life and rings of death,

At the same time, there are octopus tentacles growing on the head, and the twisting of the tentacles can even be seen through the deviation of light and shadow.

If someone accidentally breaks into this room and spies this portrait mural, they will fall into some kind of death nightmare for a long time in the future and be chased by the monsters in the portrait room.
