The final gentleman

【Backstage】

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

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

Overall it's more perfect.

Not many people in the circus can fully explain what a circus tent is.

Some say it is an ancient prop involved in the origin of disease,

Some people say that it is an otherworldly treasure that the boss captured from the invaders during the Old World War.

Some people say that Tent, like the chef, is one of the boss’s first followers.

William was also very curious, but had no way of asking. This kind of thing must be known only by going deep into the circus and becoming a formal member, or even having the opportunity to communicate in depth with the boss.

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

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

We found out that this is your first time performing, so we gave you this "Trading Bracelet" from the circus. "

A ring-shaped hollow bracelet with scale marks was handed out from the fifth block, and a small piece of dark substance was injected into it, which corresponded to the 27ml scale.

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

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

"William, you can only get such a small amount of money by maximizing fear! It seems that it cost a lot to build the stage, and why did you buy those useless audiences? Is there any use in using them as slaves?

The only use for this kind of walking dead that has been drained of its value is to turn into the dust of the old world. "

William shook his finger, "No, they are so useful!

Having their fear drained away means that their emotional feedback is completely out of balance and they are even unable to express excess emotions, allowing them to learn more purely as "students".

If my learning efficiency is doubled, I can hold a "thesis defense" faster and gain knowledge. "

Catherine covered her ears with both hands. She hated hearing these incomprehensible things, "Okay~ 27ml is a lot of money for a newcomer.

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

Moreover, I am quite picky. If you want me to train with you, you have to have at least two rooms and one living room, separate daily training from bed training, and get a large bed that is comfortable enough to withstand the training of the two of us. bed.

You can keep the rest of the money for now and upgrade the room when you have more money.

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

By the way, why didn't you use the collection I gave you during the performance? "

"Because the performance is already good enough, I don't plan to use external objects... Besides, there were sisters supervising the show at the time, so it wouldn't be good for me to directly use the fear collection to dominate the game.

I feel like this thing is better used as a decoration to exaggerate the fearful atmosphere in the house. "

William took out the horrifying collection that Catherine had lost to him in a bet - a withered and hairy finger, with its nail caps mutilated and part of the rotten flesh exposed.

Once this finger is exposed to the air, it will make a 'clicking' sound like fingernails scraping glass, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

Soon, the magic house was changed from the original one room to two rooms and one living room. At the same time, a complete set of fear furniture was purchased, which was made of fear wood grown in the interior space of the circus tent, which helped to some extent in the formation of phobias.

The fingers given by Catherine were also stored in the niche in the living room.

In addition, William also spent 5ml to purchase 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 internally.

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

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

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

It's about the size of a chessboard, completely scaled down to the size of a circus stage. Using deformable materials made by a former magician, the stage can be quickly changed according to individual ideas.

William can be used to pre-set the stage and conceive the performance content more accurately and carefully.

【William's Magic House】

Catherine was lying on the bed doing nothing, seemingly thinking about Art's injury today. She had not seen this kind of situation for a long time.

"William, who is your friend? Have I seen him in Zion?"

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

From what I understand, the moon of the old world was completely destroyed in that war and could not be constructed.

But with the infection of the world, the concept of moon 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 turns out that he is the sick companion of the new moon! No wonder the boss was injured... It seems that the other party took the initiative to find the circus because of you, and you yourself also used the moonlight illusion in the performance. It seems that the two of you have a deep relationship?"

When Catherine asked questions, her eyes became strange.

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

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

"Bah! What a beautiful thought! This stinky woman really deserves to die! If she dares to come to the circus again one day, I will call the boss, Zoke, and Uncle Jia En to kill her together!"

"Lorian is not a woman."

"Ah? It turns out she's a man~ The patient associated with the old world's Sick Moon was an out-and-out beauty, flawless and impeccable.

Neither can men! If he really wants to use you to complete his twin body, the circus will take action. "

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

Okay, let’s get back to the topic.

I should have officially touched my fear now, right? I experienced primitive fear in the kitchen, and also brought fear to the audience on the stage. The expanded magic room also purchased a full set of fear furniture, as well as a collection of fear gifts from 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 after hearing the question.

"Ah? William, how could you ask such a question... The answer should have been realized during the performance, right? The performance you presented and the fear flashing in the audience's eyes are the answer.

However, since your performance is a new genre, confusion may indeed arise. "

William nodded, "Oh... I understand."

Catherine continued to explain, "After participating in a few more performances, the phobia will gradually take shape. This is how everyone goes through it. Before you know it, the phobia has taken root in the soul and will be with you forever.

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