The final gentleman

The kitchen is located on the south side of the circus and is not directly accessible.

There is a secret door hidden in the aisle leading to the restaurant, which only the main members of the circus can identify and open.

When the animal trainer Zork was about to open the secret door, Catherine dodged and squeezed the other person behind her, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

There is a small depression on the wall of the passage made of large rough stones in front of you.

Catherine pressed her finger up first, letting the outline of the groove be imprinted on the surface of her finger... Wow! Cut off the corresponding finger flesh directly and insert it tightly.

Boom!

The door sank, revealing a secret passage made of dark red stone bricks. Not only had the entire passage been cleaned, it had even been deeply polished, making it clean and hygienic.

The end of the passage corresponds to the entrance to the kitchen.

It is more like a sterile laboratory than a kitchen. Inside the entrance is a complex-structured "buffer room" used for body disinfection and clothing change of visitors. And in the event of an emergency in the kitchen, the buffer room can also play an isolation role.

There was also a kitchen employee guarding the door.

Wearing a surgical gown similar to that of a surgeon, he wore a surgical cap and a fully enclosed breathing mask to filter his exhaled air and keep it absolutely clean.

At the same time, he also wore a black leather butcher's apron over his surgical clothes, with the seal "Hair wrapped around meat" engraved on it, representing the unit he belonged to - [Fear Kitchen].

As a big shot like Zoke expressed his intention to come, the other party politely led everyone into the buffer room and isolated them in single disinfection rooms.

William thought it would be a very tedious process. When he was about to take off his clothes, a burst of white light swept across and the disinfection was completed. In addition, a notification sound came from the wall:

"Your clothes are very special. They are clean and tidy. No germs that may contaminate the kitchen have been detected. On the contrary, the death smell flowing inside the clothes can play a very good role in disinfecting them.

So you don't need to change your outfit, just wear one of the aprons we have here. "

The notification ends and the side door opens.

There was a special black apron hanging on the side of the exit door of the buffer room. The moment William put on the apron.

Buzz! The tinnitus actually echoed in my head, and it also gave rise to an urgent desire to cook. Although he was quickly suppressed by Epilepsy, William looked surprised.

"What's the point of an apron? Wearing it can make people want to make delicious food... It's really interesting."

As William walked out of the buffer room, a dark red-themed and very large kitchen area came into view, allowing up to twenty people to cook at the same time.

A stove with a flame array printed on it,

A body cavity tank for patients with dry fever that has the functions of baking and stewing.

A variety of vegetables and fruits are grown in the on-site vegetable garden.

The food processing area is filled with various knives, torture instruments, and even operating table holders.

There is also a garbage area with twenty-eight kinds of garbage sorting grooves and processing devices such as crushers, meat grinders, acid etching solutions, etc.

The diversity of the kitchen was beyond William's imagination, but his eyes kept wandering among the various kitchen utensils as if searching for something, and finally settled on a safe embedded in the deep wall.

Even with multiple seals, William could still feel a trace of fear overflowing from the gaps in the safe.

Different from Catherine's nightmare phobia, and different from Art the clown's trypophobia...this is not a certain fear, but a primitive fear with no defined nature.

As William concentrated on observing, this fear actually penetrated William's eyeballs and spread out between the retinas, showing a dynamic video, which felt like watching VR.

The video led William to a secret room that was sealed layer by layer, where wriggling pieces of flesh were scattered and black hair was stuffed in the gaps.

Wave after wave of primitive fear floated from the deepest part, turning into an arm engraved with human faces, pulling William's body, dragging him to the depths.

"William, do you need me to perform evil yang cauterization on the unknown substance between the retinas?" It seems bad to continue watching like this. ” came Little Grape’s voice.

"Don't... continue reading. 』

William did not refuse the visual picture provided by fear and continued to watch.

As the depth goes deeper, the amount of meat and hair continues to increase, and some pieces of meat with hair even appear, and they resemble the shape of a human head, crawling slowly using the fear tentacles growing from the neck, or hanging in the sky and shaking their heads. .

Even with only visual observation, William was already breathing heavily, and the fear in his body was pouring out like a tide.

It’s not that the scene in front of me is scary,

It’s about the proportions, tones, the proportions and arrangement of various pieces of flesh and matter in these pictures, the mental oppression caused by restricted space, and the completely unknown source of fear at the deepest level.

Various factors pile up on each other to deepen the fear, making the visual level of fear increase dozens of times.

When William continued to push hard and finally reached the deepest point, a dense curtain of black hair blocked his face. When he reached out and tried to lift the curtain,

A tingling sensation instantly came from the palm of his hand, and the picture disappeared and returned to reality.

It wasn't the pain caused by the hair awl, but someone's nails dug into the cleft of William's palm, causing blood to ooze out.

"The scene behind the hair curtain is not what you can see now... However, you seem to have a good affinity in "fear". You can reach the depth of the hair curtain when you feel the primitive fear for the first time. "

Standing beside him to explain was none other than the beast trainer Zork. His beast brain sensed William's state and cut him off at the critical moment.

"Is the boss behind the hair curtain?"

“No…it’s something you can’t see right now.

Once glimpsed, this primitive and pure fear will invade your thinking, and your soul and body will be completely confused in fear and eventually collapse, changing in an unforeseen direction. "

"knew."

Zouk still looked like he was without any clothes, but wore an extra black apron, which matched with his exaggerated and grotesque skull mask, giving him the feeling of a wilderness butcher.

At this moment, the slowest Catherine put on a black and white chef's outfit and walked out, "Hey! William, why didn't you change your clothes?"

Before William could give an answer, a voice came from deep in the kitchen, "Because his clothes meet the cleanliness standards of the kitchen, there is no need to change his clothes."

The voice ends,

A white-haired old man slowly walked out of the darkness. He was dressed more like a doctor in a gentleman's organization.

It's just that his face is very special. It seems that in order to delay aging, there are multiple sections of skin grafting and suture marks on the face. At least five different-colored and delicate skins are sutured on the face.

In addition, he was wearing a very special breathing mask that only covered his mouth. It was very large and had the feel of a storage box.

When William tried to spy on this strange respirator, he found that what was stored inside was actually a tongue. An extra-long tongue was stored in it and was still secreting saliva.

Use the circulatory system of the mask to remove excess saliva and eliminate it regularly.

As William observed carefully, he actually saw hundreds of small pink arms on the surface of the tongue, which seemed to have eye structures.

"Is it a disease related to 'tongue'? 』

At this time, Zouk, the animal trainer on the side, introduced, "Chef Timmy, this is my good friend, William Behrens. I specially brought him here to familiarize himself with the kitchen and visit the kitchen. He will definitely become a circus master in the future." main members."

“It’s rare for you to recommend someone so highly, Zoke, and it’s not even someone from your zoo.

Since you value me so much, would you like to try cooking once? On the premise of not using a meat cabinet, as long as the taste reaches 50% of the regular standard, the fee can be waived. "

Catherine on the side quickly sent a message to persuade: "William, don't agree!" You have never cooked before and you are not familiar with the kitchen. The cost of cooking is very high. 』

William ignored it, but looked sideways at Zouk, who did not express his opinion. After the two looked at each other, they nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let me try it, but before starting, please give me ten minutes to get familiar with the overall structure of the kitchen."
