The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 496 Fear

【Backstage】

  The bottled fear liquid collected from William's performance is being concentrated and compressed, and the final liquid will be used as food for the "circus tent".

   Once the tent eats the essence of fear, it can grow and gain more internal space. At the same time, it will become more stable and less likely to be discovered.

   In general, it is more perfect.

  What exactly is a circus tent, not many people in the whole circus can fully explain it.

   Some say an ancient prop involving the origin of disease,

  Some people say that it is a treasure from another world seized by the boss from the invaders during the Old World War,

   It is also said that the tent, like the chef, is one of the original followers of the boss,

  William is also very curious, but he has no way of inquiring about it. This kind of thing must be known only when he goes deep into the circus and becomes a full-fledged member, and even has the opportunity to communicate with the boss in depth.

  The backstage staff wearing the Five of Diamonds quickly completed the amount statistics.

   "Mr. William, the total amount of essence you earned from this performance is 50ml. After deducting the consumption of venue construction costs of 20ml and 10% of the right to control the audience's body, this is the amount you earned from this performance. 27ml.

  We found that you are acting for the first time, so we will give you the "trading bracelet" in this circus. "

  A ring-shaped hollow bracelet with scale marks was handed out from the square five, and a small piece of pitch-black substance was injected into it, exactly corresponding to the 27ml scale.

  Old world coins are not circulated inside the circus, fear is the only currency.

  Catherine looked at the scale on the bracelet and shook her head,

   "William, you only get such a small amount of money for maximizing fear! It seems that it took a lot to build the stage, and why do you buy those useless spectators? What's the use of using them as slaves?

  The only purpose of this stripped-down walking corpse is to turn into the dust of the old world. "

  William shook his fingers, "No, they are too useful!

  The fear of being drained means that their emotional feedback is completely out of balance, and they can't even express redundant emotions, and they can learn more purely as "students".

  If the learning efficiency is doubled, I will be able to hold a "dissertation defense" faster and recover knowledge. "

  Catherine covered her ears with both hands, she hated hearing things that she couldn’t understand, “Okay~ 27ml is not a small amount for a newcomer.

  Personally, I suggest that you first take out 20ml to upgrade the room. The room is very important to the circus personnel. It not only represents the living environment, but also represents the tent space you personally occupy.

Moreover, I am quite picky. If you want me to train with you, you must at least set up a two-bedroom and one living room, separate the daily training from the bed training, and get a big enough comfortable enough to withstand the training of the two of us. bed.

  You keep the remaining money for the time being, and you can continue to upgrade the room when you have money in the future.

  Anyway, you already have a collection of fear on your body, and other things should not be used for the time being.

   By the way, why didn't you use the collection I gave you when you were performing. "

  "Because the performance effect is good enough, I don't plan to use external things... Besides, there were sisters on the field to supervise at the time, so it wouldn't be good for me to directly take out the fear collection to dominate the game.

  I think it is better to use this thing as an ornament to exaggerate the fear atmosphere in the house. "

  William took out the horror collection that Catherine had lost to him in a bet—a haggard, hairy finger with a broken nail cap and partially rotting flesh exposed.

   Once this finger is exposed to the air, it will make a 'click' sound like a fingernail scraping glass, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

   Soon, the magic house was changed from one room to two rooms and one living room. At the same time, a full set of fear furniture was purchased, which was made of fear wood planted in the inner space of the circus tent, which was helpful for the formation of phobias.

  The finger given by Catherine is also stored in the alcove in the living room,

  In addition, William also spent 5ml to buy a "mini stage" space device.

  According to the clerk, it belonged to the former chief magician. After his death, it became the property of the circus and was only sold inside.

  As for the cause of death of the other party, it is a secret, and it is not something that ordinary members like William can inquire about.

  The reason why it is so cheap is because the space device does not have the function of magic performance, it is just a toy made by a former magician.

   But this thing is really suitable for William, who may be awarded a new career, or even open up a department.

  Around the size of a chessboard, it is completely reduced in proportion to the stage of a circus. Using a deformable material made by a former magician, the stage can be quickly changed according to the individual's ideas.

  William can be used to pre-build the stage to more accurately and finely conceive the content of the performance.

  【William's Magic House】

  Catherine was lying on the bed doing nothing, as if thinking about Art's injury today, she hadn't seen such a situation for a long time.

   "William, what's the background of your friend? Have I met him in Zion?"

   "I haven't seen it. He is a special patient who does not belong to Zion. Like me, he is a "high-quality customer" designated by the Duke... Art also said that he is directly related to [Month].

   According to my understanding, the moon of the old world was completely destroyed in that war and could not be built.

  But with the infection of the world, the concept of the month resurfaced in the infected world, which is the human world where I am. And Lorian is the patient directly related to the construction of the new moon. "

   "It turned out to be Xinyue's accompanying sick person! No wonder it can hurt the boss... The other party seems to have approached the circus because of you, and you also used the moonlight illusion in the performance room. It seems that the two of you have a deep relationship?"

  While Catherine raised questions, her eyes also became strange.

   "It's relatively deep, that guy was born with a "twin body", half of which was destroyed during the revenge process, and I, who happened to appear at that time, became his complementary target.

  He has always wanted to assimilate me, turn me into his other half. "

   "Bah! Good idea! This stinky woman really deserves to die! If she dares to come to the circus one day, I'll call the boss, Zoke, and Uncle Jain, and kill her together!"

   "Lorian is not a woman."

   "Huh? It turned out to be a man~ The patient who was associated with the old world sickness month before was an out-and-out beauty, flawless and impeccable.

   Men can't do it either! If he really wants to use you to complete his twin body, the circus will do it. "

   Seeing Catherine's extremely serious look, William also smiled gratifiedly: "No, I will solve the matter between me and him, and I have been waiting for the other one for a long time.

  Okay, let’s get back to the topic.

   I should be officially touching fear now, right? I have experienced primitive fear in the back kitchen, and also brought fear to the audience between the stages. I also purchased a full set of horror furniture in the expanded magic room, and there is also a collection of horror presented by you, Catherine.

  In other words, how to form the "phobia" necessary to become a core member of the circus? How to identify the type of phobia you have. "

  Catherine tilted her head when she heard the question,

   "Huh? William, why would you ask such a question... The answer should be realized by yourself during the performance, right? The performance you presented, the fear in the eyes of the audience is the answer.

   However, your performance is new and doubts may indeed arise. "

  William nodded, "Oh...understood."

  Catherine continued to explain, "Participate in a few more performances, and the phobia will gradually form. Everyone has come through it like this. Unknowingly, the phobia has taken root in the soul and will accompany it forever.

  In addition, the Sabbat will also help phobias take root and improve. After all, the boss will be there in person, so you have to take the opportunity. "
