The final gentleman

Experience visual deprivation for the first time, experience what Teacher Zed feels like,

However, this feeling is extremely uncomfortable. Unlike the physical loss caused by having the eyes removed, this kind of fundamental visual deprivation directly erases everything related to the eyes. This "sense of loss" seems to linger in the soul. There is a loophole.

However, due to the existence of epilepsy, William was able to barely block out this feeling of lack and focus on the situation in front of him.

"Generalized epileptic seizure"

William activates the brain cells in the muscle tissue of the whole body and amplifies the "touch". When the touch reaches ten times the original value, he tries to feel the surrounding situation.

Buzz!

As expected, the touch that should have spread out like a radar was completely blocked by the gold suit and could not be transmitted at all.

At the same time, the voice of the golden mask came from beside him.

"Mr. William, this is the core of our Chamber of Commerce, and what the Duke is doing affects the fate of the entire Chamber of Commerce. If you accidentally detect it, we can only carry out forced brainwashing.

This kind of thorough brainwashing may have a very bad effect on you.

So please be quiet. This gold suit is used to protect you, not to restrict you. "

"Sorry, I don't understand the rules."

"It's okay. After all, very few people can come here. Even in the entire high-quality customer network, there are no more than ten people. We will meet the Duke soon. Think about the questions that need to be asked and don't say useless things. nonsense."

"knew."

Golden Mask, who was usually very talkative, now became extremely serious, and William no longer made any small moves.

As the golden mask continued to go deeper, the slope became more and more steep, until the two of them were completely trapped in it, sinking together in the mire.

As it sank, the liquid rubber-like substance completely blocked William's nostrils, eventually rendering his sense of smell completely ineffective.

After passing through about a hundred meters of swamp layer, we finally dropped to the deepest point, the so-called core area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, only hearing remains normal.

Bursts of metal collisions, flesh churning, the chirping of various animals, and even some indescribable sounds came to my ears. They were chaotic and countless.

William calmed down and searched for direction among the countless chaotic sounds, finding the voice that belonged exclusively to the Duke.

The sound of fat squeezing against each other,

And the special collision sound of golden teeth when chewing food.

Follow the footsteps and arrive in front of the Duke's castle.

"William, are you in such a hurry? You have to come to me now!"

Different from the gentleness in the past, the Duke's voice seemed to be sprayed out from the depths of the flesh. If William hadn't activated his generalized epilepsy in advance, he would have been blown away by this tone.

"I'm extremely sorry to bother you, Duke, at this time. Since I have reached the final fourth stage of the disease epidemic in the [Forest of Fertility], I came here this time to inquire or purchase information about the [Path].

I hope to lock my way in and be done soon. "

"Didn't I already give you clues about the route?"

William was startled by the Duke's words, and his brain was running at high speed, recalling the entire process of his last meeting with the Duke.

"Could it be a circus?"

"Yes, your disease is very complicated. It does not exist among the discovered pathways. You can only find the unknown pathways hidden in the depths... This process is very difficult and troublesome.

But the circus organization may be able to give you a good pointer. The owner of the circus is more experienced than me in some aspects. "

"Thank you Duke."

"Of course, you can also choose to buy clues from the unknown path directly from me. Since this kind of clue involves the nature of the world, the price will reach millions and tens of millions, and it can only be realized through gambling."

"I'd better go to the circus first. If I can't find a way, I'll come to gamble with you. I'm really sorry. I was too stupid to think of disturbing the Duke."

Snapped!

The Duke patted his belly, and William was teleported directly outside the canyon. The visual blockade was also lifted and the eye sockets grew back, and the eyeballs were held in his hands.

After a while, the prophets Little Putao and Thirteen rushed over.

“William, why so fast?”

"The Duke was very busy. After giving the answer, he kicked me back." William explained while stuffing his eyeballs back into his sockets.

"Did you ask about the route?"

William directly took out the meat ball once given by the Duke.

Little Grape naturally understood it, "Don't tell me that when you go to the "Circus of Horror", the Duke doesn't have a suitable route for you?

That's right, your kid's body is too messy, and the currently known methods are all too 'pure', so there's a high chance they won't be suitable for you.

Although the circus is dangerous, we may be able to find unique grapes to taste in a place where talented people from all walks of life gather...and everyone in the circus seems to be good at cooking, so we may have a good experience. "

The more Little Grape talked, the more excited he became. He released his human form and landed on William's shoulder in his most primitive flesh ball form.

As for its clothing, it turned into an ash scarf, which perfectly matched William's own clothing and covered his mouth and nose.

Everything was ready, but William suddenly turned his head and looked at the candle behind him.

"Thirteen, you should have heard clearly the conversation I had with Little Putao just now. Next, I will go to the Circus of Fear. The degree of danger is unknown, and I cannot even ensure my own safety.

How about you be stored with the Duke first and your former master take care of you temporarily for a period of time.

You have also read similar books on puppet making, so you can exchange relevant experiences with him. However, it is difficult to make a [qualitative] improvement by reading alone. "

"If this is your arrangement and order, teacher, then I will stay with the Duke."

William could tell that Thirteen was more inclined to follow him, but after this period of getting along, William saw Thirteen's potential and must not let her take risks.

"Just take it as an order. I'll pick you up when I get out of the circus."

"I believe in the teacher."

The Seal of Transaction was activated, and a clone of the Golden Mask quickly walked out of the depths of the Grand Canyon. After briefly explaining Thirteen's questions,

Golden Mask charged an 'item storage fee' based on volume and type and led Thirteen away.

call……

William, who returned to his solo state, took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect that my path would actually be connected with the circus... It just so happened that I originally wanted to go there and have a look to satisfy my curiosity.

Let’s first ask the people at Black Tape Company to see if they have any way of knowing the location of the circus. 』

When William boarded the train again and asked about the Circus of Fear, the conductor was stunned.

"Circus of Fear, Mr. William, are you really sure you want to contact this special organization? It is rumored that any sick person who goes to the Circus of Fear will be left inside, and no one ever really leaves."

"Are you sure? Can your company determine the location of the circus? The price is negotiable."

"No one in the entire old world can locate the circus, not even the number one moving company on the market - [Rongchang] can do it.

However, we can provide you with the geographical coordinates where the circus has appeared. Perhaps with your ability, you can find patterns and deduce the area where the circus will appear next. "

"Okay, give me the coordinates first, and I'll tell you the destination after I think about it for a while."

The flight attendant quickly brought out a living map of the old world formed by coiling roundworms, and marked the location where the circus once appeared through fluorescent dots.

Seizures.

William quickly copied the map into his brain and took it to the library of the Memory Palace for careful analysis. However, no matter which angle he used to deduce it, the number of suspicious locations he finally got was more than ten.

William took out the meatballs given by the Duke, cut off half and swallowed it.

There is no intuitive change in itself, and it feels almost the same as eating an ordinary beef ball.

Just when William was thinking about how to use this luck, the map originally placed on the table accidentally fell to the ground when he leaned down to pick it up.

The map that was folded due to falling happened to reveal one of the deduced locations, while the rest of the locations were obscured by the folding.
