The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 475 Black and White Mask

  【Clown House】

  Different from the magic area, which has a large footprint and multiple rooms connected by circuitous passages, it is suitable for different types of magic training and assistant training.

  The clown house is hidden in the depths of the circus, there is no lift connected to it, and the only way to get there is to take a special 'roller coaster'.

   There are two factory buildings in the underground area like a dark cave,

   On the left is a factory building painted with black and white wall paint and hardcover and polished, which is more like a dance room.

  The right side is dominated by red bricks combined with colorful color schemes. Although the specifications of the factory building are the same as those next door, it looks extremely bloated. The **** graffiti painted on the wall tiles with spray paint is even more violent, swollen and full of viciousness.

  Any outsider who applies for a trainee clown will be sent here on a roller coaster once they pass the pre-examination of Poker Face. This is where they will make the most important choices of their lives, without any prompting.

  If you choose the black and white factory building on the left, you will be suspended by various steel wires through your body as soon as you walk in.

  If you cannot fall asleep within one minute, you will fail the assessment. If you wake up from a nightmare within one hour after falling asleep, you will also fail the test.

   But this kind of clown assessment is much simpler than the one next door. At least some trainee clowns came out of the black and white factories to serve the circus.

  Once you choose the colorful factory building on the right, it will never be possible to leave. It seems to be permanently left in it, and their voices can still be heard occasionally.

   Didn't die, but took another form as a trainee clown, a form in which you can't live but can't die.

   Today is a special day.

  Because no newcomers came to the clown house for the time being, the young woman in black and white stockings walked out of the black and white factory building and took the initiative to visit the next door. Compared with the fear when I visited the house, I am quite calm now.

  Slippery and dark octopus tentacles grew out from under the woman's skirt, clasped the heavy sliding iron door, and the rusty rollers slid away with difficulty.

  In the center of the open and empty factory building,

   Sitting a clown with a vicious air and a hideous face,

  Holding a needle and thread in one hand, and scissors in the other, he was trimming, cutting, and sewing the body covered by his clothing, and there were constant low voices coming from inside.

   "Boss, today I will take a leave of absence to go to Uncle Jain's."

"reason."

  The girl pressed her finger against her lower lip, "Well~ well~ because an interesting person came, and the circus was called because of me.

  I thought he would apply for a trainee clown, but who knew he went to Uncle Jain.

  I'll go see him and try to see if I can dig him out. "

   "As long as your performance has been rehearsed."

   "Thank you boss, goodbye!"

  The girl waved her hand with a smile, and stepped back slowly on her toes.

  When she was about to leave the workshop... Crack! The clown sitting in the center of the workshop suddenly had an uncontrollable explosion of his back, and the swollen and twisted abscess tentacles crazily flocked towards the girl.

  When about to be curled and swallowed,

  The girl has already stepped out of the factory lightly, using the umbrella hook in her hand and the tentacles under the skirt to instantly close the sliding door.

   There is no change in expression, it seems that such things have long been used to it.

   Jumped on the roller coaster and drove towards the inside of the circus.

  …

  【Magic House】

   After arranging his sea-blue hair a little bit, Jain took out the Guy Fawkes mask from a different dimension with great speed and put it on for himself.

  He did not take the initiative to cover up his appearance,

Instead, the mask is used to cover the abyss structure between the eyes, so as to reduce the impact of "abyss phobia" on others. Otherwise, before the magic show begins, the audience will have fallen into the abyss and fell to pieces in their seats. No soul is at peace.

  William looked at the magic hat badge on his chest, "Am I a member of the circus now?"

"Barely, but if you want to officially become a member of us, you need to participate in at least one performance and be affirmed by the boss. At that time, the "seed of fear" planted in your brain will be connected to the fear network created by the boss and become a true meaning. become a member.

   It is one of our greatest honors as performers to be praised by our boss.

  You have to prepare well, if you can win the boss's applause, your road in the circus will become more spacious. If you are good enough, you may even get an interview with your boss. "

   "I will work hard." After deepening his understanding of the circus along the way, William's interest in the circus also increased exponentially.

   "Go, go and start your training. Other assistants will give you special training when they see the badge, until you find the type of magic that you are best at."

  After expressing his sincere thanks, William exited Jain's magic house.

  The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, it seems that his choice is right. As a well-known magician in the circus, Jain often showed concern for the younger generation when he first appeared in the nightmare, even Catherine, who did not belong to the same department as him, would give him the greatest assistance.

   While taking the initiative to rescue Catherine, he tried his best to avoid conflicts between the clown Art and humans.

  Such an 'friendly' boss is the best choice for entry in William's mind.

  …

  Back to the roundabout passageway, William was considering who to practice magic with,

   Who knew, Pinu Ulrich, who was in charge of leading the way, was still standing at the entrance of the passage.

   "Mr. Ulisser, you are still here~ It's just right, can you take me to learn magic?" William also seized the opportunity to start with acquaintances, and by the way, he could use his status as a pin slave to get closer.

  "Ahem~According to the rules, assistants who have just joined the job can indeed apply to other assistants for learning. What I am good at is "disguise". If you are interested, please come with me. "

  Ulisey also pretended to be calm. He still hasn't figured out why this young human from outside is favored by Mr. Jain, and even opened the door for him before he even changed his clothes.

While walking, he said in the tone of a senior: "Every qualified assistant will be assigned a [magic house]. When you find a magic direction that suits you, you can submit an application for a personal magic house to the circus. From time to time, a receptionist will come to help you create a room and give you some basic props.

  The first rooms are extremely simple,

When you complete a performance, earn fear for the circus, and get a pass or above evaluation, you can get a "currency reward", which you can use to decorate and expand the magic house, and even go to the circus of fear Shop to buy stuff. "

   "Fear Shop?"

   "That's right, it sells fear products specially produced by circuses, which help the development of our own "phobia".

  If you want to sit at the core of Mr. Jain's circus, one of the prerequisites is to have a unique and mature "phobia".

   These are all things for later, you should learn magic well first. "

   "Hmm..." William focused on remembering the important information in his mind.

   Soon came to Ulisse's magic room, opened the door and there was a pungent smell of rubber.

   "Welcome to my disguise room. As you can see, the magic I am best at is disguise. I will occasionally perform as Mr. Jain's stand-in."

   Talking about this, Ulissena is quite proud.

   But in reality, he was Jain's stand-in once and only once, and for only a few seconds, he flashed across the stage, mostly in disguise.

  William stepped into this magic house, looked at the one-bedroom and one-living room in front of him,

   Various paints and sebum solutions are piled up on the cabinets, and the pungent smell is coming from them.

  The wall directly opposite is covered with all kinds of face masks that have been finished and are drying, perfect and flawless.

  William's sharp eyes quickly discovered the distinctive piece of the mask,

   is a delicate, dark mask of a woman covered in white foundation.

   "Mr. Ulisse, is that mask yours too?"

  Following William's pointing, Ulise was also a little confused.

   "Huh? This mask is so strange... How come I don't have an impression? Maybe it was made unconsciously during my creative fantasy period."

  Ulisse himself was quite curious,

  When he approached this mask actively, trying to touch its material to recall the origin of this human skin mask.

  嗡~ (thinking fluctuations)

  He not only touched the skin of the mask, but also felt the flesh under the skin, and even two dark eyeballs that should not exist grew out of the eye sockets.

at the same time,

  All the masks in the room began to activate, with eyeballs growing, black mucus flowing from their mouths, and even tentacles coming out and flying in the air.
