the last gentleman

Chapter 490 Thinking Dress Rehearsal
A group of "receptionists" with exaggerated makeup and eyelids fixed with wires went to the magic area with various tools in their hands, and within an 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 [WB] signboard representing William's name was pasted on the side of the door.

Since William has just become an assistant, the layout of the room is basically the same as that of ordinary houses, and only basic magic props are provided. If you want to use advanced props, you have to submit an application form.

However, with William's performance in the circus in the future, he can get the opportunity to upgrade the house by resolving troubles, performing on stage, improving his status or getting praise from the boss, etc.

Catherine sat on the edge of the bed and kicked her legs back and forth, "William, seeing how shabby your room is, hurry up and improve your status in the circus.

Although I can't go on stage directly for the "trial operation" performance, but I can give you some off-site support, such as disguising as a receptionist and feeding the audience some food mixed with nightmare substances in advance, so that they are more likely to be fooled by your mind control, and it is easier to shape the mind. "

"Speaking of dreams, is it magic?"

"Why isn't it counted? The reason why Uncle Jain was very optimistic about me was because of nightmares! Hypnotic 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 large-scale modifications?"

"Oh? William, you seem to have a lot of ideas. Large-scale changes need to be applied 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 building the stage, you will be judged to have failed the performance.

If failure in a low-level show like trial operation is the lowest level of mistake, your title of assistant will be stripped directly, and you will even need to pay back the loss of the circus with your body and soul. "

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

"Bah! If I want to cheat you, I will 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, let's talk about the acrobatic troupe. When Mr. Rabbit arrived, didn't you hide the farthest?"

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

"That rabbit is scary, isn't it!? I just became a clown in the past. When I had the opportunity to visit an acrobatic troupe by chance, I was caught by that rabbit because of some trivial things. All my bones were broken and my muscles were also damaged. I was dismantled into noodles. If Mr. Jia En hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have been used as rabbit feed.

Ever since that incident, I have been terrified of rabbits.

If I didn't show you William today, I would never go to the acrobatic troupe. "

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

If you offend so much in other lands, according to the character of the rabbit, you will certainly be punished enough. "

Accompanied by the sound of a third party, the magician Jain wearing the mask of Guy Fawkes came to this small single room.

"People don't know~"

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

"Hmm... It's my honor to meet Mr. Rabbit this time, and I feel that he is not bad."

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

"There is already a basic idea, probably something like this."

William told Jain his thoughts, after all, he had never been in a circus.Whether this idea can be realized, and whether some details of the problematic nodes can be achieved, it is better to listen to Jain's opinion.

"Can the combination of virtual and real be achieved through scene construction? If a performance of this difficulty can achieve the expected effect, it can even be used in 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.

How about this~ Tomorrow will arrange your program for the finale performance of the trial operation, and the number of viewers will reach the maximum at that time. If the expected effect can be achieved, not only will you be able to repay the cost of the stage renovation, but you will also get a lot of money, and even It is possible to get the attention of the circus.

You spend the rest of the day doing a "mind rehearsal". "

"Please, Mr. Jain."

"Looking forward to your debut performance tomorrow, if I'm free, I'll watch it live."

"it is good."

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

"Hee hee, if Uncle Jia En helps you write the application, then this matter will basically be completed, don't mess it up!"

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

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

"Ah? It's very difficult to create a dream in such a scene that I have never seen before... unless someone can spy on your memory and the clear images in your brain."

"Come on~"

Ka~William skillfully opened the skull, revealing a pitch-black brain in front of his eyes.

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

"Well, your crazy brain can still be like this? It's the first time I've seen it...then I'm going to come in!"

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

"Nightmare Brain"

Evolved from her earliest migraines, now through the nightmare pathway to a more complete stance,
Not only is the structure of the brain different, but the entire ventricle has formed a complete interactive system.

Hundreds of women's faces (the size of quail eggs) are neatly arranged on the inner wall of the cranial cavity. All the faces keep their mouths open, and a nightmare root is spit out from their mouths to connect to the central brain.

An equally dark, moist brain hangs in the center of the cranial cavity, its surface is covered with nightmare tentacles, and the overall feeling is like a strange-looking deep-sea octopus.

And the female face surrounding the cranial cavity is like its most devout believer.

Crackling ~ A distinct octopus tentacle grows from the main brain, and its tip slowly inserts into the back of William's head.

For an instant.

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

About an hour passed.

Catherine pulled out the brain terminal cable ahead of time, and stared wide-eyed, "William you! What the hell is this... Are these human beings so perverted?"

"That's right, that's why I wasn't too touched when I spied on Catherine's memories before, because our childhood seemed to be not very good.

Alright~ You’ve read the memories, so hurry up and help with the “dream rehearsal”. "

"You... okay."

In this way, the two of them maintained the state of brain connection, did not think about food and drink, and did not make any movements all day and night.

It's just that during the connection period, dark matter continued to overflow from between the brains of the two,
The nightmare liquid overflowing from Catherine's brain, assisted by the black liquid in William's brain, draws an exquisite and high-level personal portrait on the wall of the current room.

Robes of ashes, crosses, hangings, gates 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 light and shadow deviation.

Anyone who accidentally breaks into this room and gets a glimpse of the portrait mural will be plunged into some kind of death nightmare for a long time to come, hunted down by monsters in the portrait room.
