The final gentleman

【Circus of Fear】

During non-operation periods, the entire circus tent will be hidden deep in the subspace, making it impossible to locate even the epidemic areas and even the Torment Monastery that enjoys the privilege of arresting.

Only individuals designated by the boss as core members, who have fully developed phobias, can enjoy soul-level telepathic connections outside.

To be precise, it should be a "fear connection".

As a source of fear, the boss can even be said to be the origin of fear in the old world.

Any circus member who comes into contact with him will receive a 'fear seed'. It was the same when William went to the circus. When he accepted the ticket, a fear seed took root in his brain.

But not everyone can control such seeds.

The seeds of fear will be subjectively screened, and only those who have the potential and the talent to perform will be selected to take root and sprout in their bodies.

Moreover, germination is only the first step. It will take daily accumulation, performance and some special opportunities to make the buds grow into trees and develop their own "phobia".

Through trial operations and official performances (halftime), coupled with his own insights and use in Yuan people settlements, William completely formed his phobia, which is also his unique [social phobia].

This special phobia that relies on the epileptic brain is also complemented during the path, which is equivalent to using the nutrient solution from ancient times to water it, making the originally mature trees bear fruit.

William only needs to activate his phobia induction and search for the most primitive and ancient source of fear to find the boss, which is also the entrance to the circus.

Choose to take the Black Ascaria train for the first part of the journey, and then do the final walk when the sensation is strong.

【Butterfly Forest】

One tall, one short and a candle puppet galloping through the forest,

The butterflies living here avoided each other one after another, and the faces of the people living in the abdomen of the butterflies showed frightened expressions. They had no idea why such a strong person came here.

The leading human male has a bun in the middle and a signature black suit.

Behind him followed a huge 'beast' covered in streamlined silver armor. It was impossible to tell what kind it was. It looked like a dragon, a wolf, or a giant mouse.

"William, by the way, what place do you call the most delicious place in the old world that we are going to? In my memory, there does not seem to be an epidemic area here. Is it a newly established organization?"

"It's a place called [Circus of Fear]."

"Circus... never heard of it."

"This is a special organization created after the war. It is normal if you have never heard of it. It is kept secret during non-performance periods."

While the two were talking, William's sense of fear suddenly doubled.

The dense forest in front of me suddenly opened up, and an unnatural forest glade appeared. There was no moss, no flowers, and not even a human-faced butterfly dared to fly into it.

There is a magic hat placed in the center of the clearing.

Lord Price followed William out of the forest. When he saw the disobedient magic hat, the whole rat's hair exploded, its sharp claws popped out, and its tail tightened.

When he tried to look through the magic hat with the moon eyes under the helmet, what he saw was an endless abyss.

Unlike the Tenth Abyss, the abyss between the magic hats made him feel dizzy just by looking at it, as if the space was out of order.

At this time, an irritating pollen floated in the forest, and the pollen stained the surface of the eyeballs, forcing Price and William to blink at the same time.

Buzz~ In the blink of an eye, the magic hat disappears.

He was replaced by a magician in a tuxedo and a Guy Fawkes mask.

"Mr. Jahn!" William immediately saluted and introduced his companions, "This is my new friend, Price Silvertail, the lord of the original Rat City.

According to my observation and investigation, he can hold an important position in the circus. The characteristics of Moonlight also match mine, and he may be able to become an associate actor in the theater department. "

Jain glanced at the mouse and saw the two attributes carried by the silver armor - 'cancer and moon', as well as the powerful aura it exuded.

"It's indeed good, but whether you can become a member of the circus has to go through subsequent assessments and the cultivation of phobias... William, your boss only approved you for two months of vacation, but you didn't come back for three months.

Due to your serious violation, I will personally take you to the boss's residence to explain your late return.

As for your friend, I will ask the staff to arrange for him to apply. "

"good."

Jaen snapped his fingers, and a member with a poker face and a ten of spades walked out from behind.

As William gently patted Price's armor back, the big mouse followed Poker Face out and disappeared into the forest.

When they were the only two people left in the forest glade, Jain took off his mask and stared at William with abyss eyes.

But this time, William no longer fell into the gaze, but there was a repulsive force between the two, as if it was the repulsive effect between different abyss.

"Have you been recognized by the Tenth Abyss? Congratulations."

"It all depends on the special abyss training Mr. Jain gave me, otherwise I would probably get lost in it and become a slave of the Tenth Abyss."

"Well~ In this case, the boss won't say anything to you. After all, it's justifiable to delay in the abyss for a while. Besides, you also brought back a very good applicant.

But your kid's calculations are really loud. You actually want to appoint the deputy director of [Theatre] in advance. Are you thinking that once that mouse takes over, you can run out again? "

"Haha, Mr. Jian, please take me to see the boss quickly..."

The depths of the incinerator in the back kitchen, the depths of the pit covered with black hair, are absolutely forbidden areas in the circus.

Every hair and every piece of flesh crawling here seems to exist on its own.

When he came to the curtain made of black hair, Jain put his hat on his chest: "Boss, William has been brought."

William also made the same bow gesture,

But as time passed by, no sound came from behind the black-haired curtain, which was different from the long wait when seeing the "Tenth Abyss".

Standing in front of the black-haired curtain, William felt a primitive fear coming from the front all the time. Even though he had completed the route, it still made him breathless. The increasingly intense fear was like a black-haired whirlpool that wanted to completely sweep him away. engulf.

Not only William, but even Jain also broke out in a cold sweat.

Just when William's spirit was almost unbearable and he was about to put on the mask of the abyss,

The boss's voice finally came from inside:

"Well... no wonder it took so long. He is in very good physical condition and has a unique phobia. In addition, the candidates you brought back are also good. They have already obtained high scores in various tests.

I will no longer pursue the matter of your late return, and devote the rest of my time to the construction of the new department and preliminary preparations. "

"Thank you, boss." William's tense nerves instantly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, until your department is fully built and passes the assessment, the circus tent will not give you an independent department space. Therefore, the preliminary construction is temporarily located inside the acrobatic troupe.

The acrobatic troupe has more people. If you can build a better relationship, you might be able to poach some talents from the acrobatic troupe. "

"Inside the acrobatic troupe? Okay."

William had originally planned to communicate with Mr. Rabbit a lot, and this arrangement was just right.

Thinking that the conversation was over, when William was about to leave with Jain, the boss's voice suddenly changed.

"Jane, please leave first. I have other things to discuss with William alone."

"I know." Ja En was actually a little surprised. He couldn't guess what the boss wanted to do when he left William alone.

After Jain left, the voice came again: "Come in and talk, William...ahem!"

"yes."

After listening to the boss's request, William reached forward and lifted up the curtain woven with black hair. The intuitive touch gave him goosebumps all over his body.

When the picture behind the curtain came into my eyes,

The most primitive fear submerged William in the sea like a tide, instinctively activating the abyss characteristics and covering his eyes with his hands to temporarily block the invasion of fear.

The essence of the boss is also revealed at the same time,

The bosses that appear during the Sabbat are only a part, a very small part, or the part that can show the human form.

The wheelchair is leaning on one side and not in use,

The boss's body is embedded in the deepest part of the cave, connected to the 'root' of the circus tent... It is a giant, hairy black meat ball, with only the small part of the boss with a humanoid outline stuck to the top of the meat ball.

The hair that is constantly being produced on the surface of the meat ball, and only the hair that meets the standards of flexibility and color will be used for woven fabrics to expand the space of the circus tent.

The defective hair will wander around the cave and even occasionally go to the kitchen to cause trouble.

The truth is clear,

The circus tent is part of the boss,

In other words, it is a special product woven from the boss's original hair.
