The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 490 Thinking rehearsal

  A group of "receptionists" with exaggerated makeup and eyelids fixed with wires went to the magic area with various tools in their hands. They dug out a single room for living in only one hour and arranged and decorated it according to the design drawings.

finally,

   An assistant's room with one bedroom and one living room was built, and a [W.B] sign representing William's name was pasted on the side of the door.

  Because William has just become an assistant, the room layout is basically the same as that of ordinary houses, and only basic magic props are provided. If you want to use advanced props, you have to submit an application form.

  However, with William's performance in the circus in the future, he can get the opportunity to upgrade the house by solving troubles, performing on stage, improving his status or getting praise from the boss, etc.

  Catherine sat on the edge of the bed and kicked her legs back and forth, "William, seeing your shabby room, hurry up and improve your status in the circus.

Although I can't go on stage directly for the "trial operation" performance, but I can give you some off-site support, such as disguising as a receptionist and feeding the audience some food mixed with nightmare substances in advance, so that they are more likely to be fooled by your mind control, and it is easier to shape the mind. "

   "Speaking of dreams, is it considered magic?"

   "Why is it not counted? The reason why Uncle Jain was very optimistic about me was because of nightmares! Hypnotic performances are also considered magic."

  Hearing this, a bold idea flashed through William's mind.

   "Hmmm... does the trial run stage allow for large-scale remodeling?"

   "Oh? William, you seem to have a lot of ideas. Large-scale changes need to be applied to the higher authorities. After all, the materials and manpower of the circus are needed.

  There will be a problem here. If the total amount of fear recovered from the performance cannot cover the cost of building the stage, you will be judged to have failed the performance.

  If you fail in a low-level performance like a trial operation, it is the lowest level of mistake, and your title of assistant will be stripped directly, and you will even need to pay back the loss of the circus with your body and soul. "

  William was not worried at all, "It's fine, as long as Catherine doesn't trick me."

   "Bah! If I want to cheat you, I will let the boss eat you in the clown house. You don't even think about who stood up and spoke to you in the circus."

   "I'm just talking, let's talk about the acrobatic troupe. When Mr. Rabbit arrived, didn't you hide the farthest?"

  Catherine jumped up from the edge of the bed, and then took out the black and white makeup box in the treasure chest to touch up makeup, so as to prevent abnormal redness on her cheeks.

"That rabbit is scary, isn't it!? I just became a clown in the past. When I had the opportunity to visit an acrobatic troupe by chance, I was caught by that rabbit because of some trivial things. All my bones were broken and my muscles were also damaged. I was dismantled into noodles. If Mr. Jia En hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have been used as rabbit feed.

  Ever since that incident, I've been terrified of rabbits.

  If I didn’t show you William today, I would never go to the acrobatic troupe. "

   "Is that a trivial matter? You trampled to death more than a dozen rabbits in a row, and those are all part of Mr. Rabbit, and they are also important eyeliners distributed in the acrobatic troupe.

   If you are so offensive in other places, according to the character of the rabbit, you will certainly be punished enough. "

  Accompanied by the sound of a third party, the magician Jain wearing the mask of Guy Fawkes came to this small single room.

   "People don't know~"

  Jain came to William, "Although Mr. Rabbit is cruel, he is also a very self-disciplined and well-behaved guy. Compared with Art, he is easier to get along with."

   "Hmm... I am honored to meet Mr. Rabbit this time, and I feel that he is not bad."

Jain didn't comment much, and turned the topic back, "How about William's training? Presumably Catherine should have told you about the trial operation. Tomorrow is the last day. Try to be on stage and let me see your acting talent." .”

   "Already have the basic idea, probably like this."

  William shared his thoughts with Jain, after all, he had never been in a circus. Whether this idea can be realized, and whether some details of the problematic nodes can be achieved, it is better to listen to Jain's opinion.

   "Can the combination of virtual and real be achieved through scene construction? If a performance of this difficulty can achieve the expected effect, it can even be used in formal performances.

  If you are sure you can do it, I will help you fill out the application. Such a large-scale scene layout requires a large number of people, and it will have to wait until tomorrow.

How about this~ Tomorrow will arrange your program for the finale performance of the trial operation, and the number of viewers will reach the maximum at that time. If the expected effect can be achieved, not only will you be able to repay the cost of the stage renovation, but you will also get a lot of money, and even It is possible to get the attention of the circus.

   Spend the rest of the day on your "mind rehearsal". "

   "Please, Mr. Jain."

   "Looking forward to your debut performance tomorrow, if I'm free, I'll watch it live."

"good."

   When Jain left, Catherine also raised her little hand and shook it super fast, her eyes full of admiration.

   "Hee hee, if Uncle Jia En helps you write the application, then this matter will basically be completed, don't mess it up!"

   "Catherine stop talking nonsense, hurry up and cooperate with me in the "dream rehearsal"? With your ability, you should be able to simulate the scene I need in the dream, and every detail needs to be shaped in place.

   Also, I got to try out the new stuff you gave away. "

   "Huh? It's very difficult to create a dream in a scene that I haven't seen before... unless you let people spy on your memory and the clear images in your brain."

   "Come on~"

  咔~William skillfully opened the skull, revealing a pitch-black brain in front of his eyes.

  Located on the back of the head, the imprint of the book representing the "lecturer" also changed with William's subjective consciousness, turning into a miniature interface similar to type-c.

   "Well, your crazy brain can still be like this? It's the first time I've seen it...then I'm going to come in!"

  Catherine was so excited that she also opened her skull, and a completely different scene was presented.

   "Nightmare Brain"

   Evolved from her earliest migraines, now through the Nightmare Pathway to a more refined stance,

   Not only is the structure of the brain different, but the entire ventricle has formed a complete interactive system.

  The inner walls of the cranial cavity are neatly lined up with hundreds of women's faces (the size of quail eggs), all of which keep their mouths open, and spit out a nightmare root from their mouths to connect to the central brain.

  An equally dark, wet brain hangs in the center of the cranial cavity, its surface is covered with nightmare tentacles, and the overall feeling is like a strange-looking deep-sea octopus.

  The female faces surrounding the cranial cavity are like its most devout believers.

  Crackling~A distinct octopus tentacle grows from the main brain, and its tip slowly inserts into the back of William's head.

   A moment.

  Catherine was taken to the orphanage from a third-person perspective to experience what William had experienced.

   About an hour passed.

  Catherine pulled out the brain terminal cable ahead of time, and stared wide-eyed, "William you! What the **** is this...Are these human beings so perverted?"

  "That's right, that's why I wasn't too touched when I spied on Catherine's memories before, because our childhood seemed to be not very good.

  Okay~ You have read the memory, so hurry up and help with the "dream rehearsal". "

   "You... okay."

   Just like that, the two of them kept their brains connected, they didn't think about eating or drinking, and they didn't make any movements all day and night.

   It’s just that during the connection period, dark matter continued to overflow from the brains of the two,

  The nightmare liquid overflowing from Catherine's brain, assisted by the black liquid in William's brain, draws an exquisite and high-level personal portrait on the wall of the current room.

  Ash robes, crosses, hangings, doors of life and rings of death,

  At the same time, there are octopus tentacles growing on the brain, and the twisting of the tentacles can even be seen through the light and shadow deviation.

  Anyone who accidentally breaks into this room and spies on this portrait mural will be trapped in some kind of death nightmare for a long time to come, being hunted down by monsters in the portrait room.
