Chapter 475 Black and White Mask

  【Clown House】

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

The Clown House is hidden deep inside the circus. There is no elevator connected to it. The only way to get there is to ride a special 'roller coaster'.

 There are two factories in the underground area like a dark cave.

On the left is a factory building with black and white wall paint and fine decoration. It looks more like a dance studio.

The right side is mainly made of red bricks with colorful colors. The factory building has the same specifications as the one next door, but 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 to be an apprentice clown will be sent here on a roller coaster once they pass the Poker Face pre-screening. Here, without any prompting, they will make the most important choices of their lives.

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

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

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

 Once you choose the colorful factory building on the right, you will never be able to leave. It seems that you are staying in it permanently, and you can still hear their voices occasionally.

  Did not die, but took on another form as a trainee clown, a form in which he could neither survive nor die.

 Today is a special day.

Since there are no new people coming to the clown house for the time being, the young woman wearing 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 I felt when I visited the house, I feel quite calm now.

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

 The open and empty center of the factory building,

　Sitting was a clown full of malignant aura and hideous face,

He was holding needle and thread in one hand and scissors in the other hand and was pruning, cutting and sewing the flesh covered by his clothes. Low screams kept coming from inside.

“Boss, I’m going to take a day off today to go to Uncle Jia En’s place to have some fun.”

"reason."

 The girl put her finger against her lower lip, "Well, well, it's because an interesting person came, and the circus was brought to the circus because of me.



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

 “As long as your performance is well rehearsed.”

 “Thank you, boss, bye!”

 The girl smiled and waved, then stepped back slowly on tiptoes.

 When she was about to leave the factory... Bang! The clown sitting in the middle of the factory suddenly suffered an uncontrollable explosion of flesh on his back, and swollen and twisted abscess tentacles rushed towards the girl crazily.

 When it is about to be curled up 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 close the sliding door in an instant.

 There is no change in his expression, as if this kind of thing has become a normal thing.

　　A jumper got on the roller coaster and drove towards the interior of the circus.

  【Magic House】

After arranging his sea-blue hair a little, Jain quickly took out the Guy Fawkes mask from an alien space and put it on himself.

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

Instead, the mask covers the abyss between the eyes to reduce the impact of "abyss phobia" on others. Otherwise, before the magic show starts, the audience will have fallen into the abyss and will be shattered in their seats. No soul can rest in peace.

William looked at the magic hat badge on his chest, "Am I considered 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 get the boss's approval. Only then will the "seeds of fear" planted in your brain be connected to the fear network created by the boss and become the real meaning. Become a member.

 Getting praise from our boss is one of our greatest honors as performers.

 You have to be well prepared. If you can win the boss's applause, the road in the circus will become wider. If you are good enough, you may even get an interview with the boss. "

“I will try my best.” After deepening his understanding of the circus along the way, William’s interest in the place also increased exponentially.

“Go and start your training. The other assistants will give you special training when they see the badge until you find the type of magic you are best at.”

William thanked him sincerely and exited Jain's magic house.

 The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, it seemed that he made the right choice. As a well-known magician in the circus, Jain often showed concern for his juniors when he first appeared in the nightmare. Even Catherine, who did not belong to the same department as him, would provide the greatest assistance.

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

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

 …

When William returned to the roundabout passage and was thinking about whom to find to practice magic,

Who would have known that Pinu Ulise, who was responsible for leading the way, was still standing at the entrance of the passage.

“Mr. Ulisse, you’re still here~ Just in time, can you take me to learn magic?” William also seized the opportunity to start with acquaintances, and by the way, he could also use his identity 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 study. What I am good at is "disguise". If you are interested, come with me. "

Ulisse also pretended to be calm. He still has not figured out why this young foreign human being is favored by Mr. Jain and even opened the door for him before he changed his clothes.

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

 The rooms at the beginning were all extremely simple.

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

 “Fear store?”

“Yes, there are fear products specially produced by the circus for sale, which contribute to the development of our own “phobia”.

One of the prerequisites for sitting in the core position of Mr. Jain's circus is to have a unique and mature "phobia".

These are things for later, you’d better learn magic first. "

 “Hmm…” William focused on memorizing the important information in his mind.

Soon we arrived at Ulisse's magic room. When we opened the door, there was a pungent smell of rubber.

“Welcome to my disguise room, as you can see, my best magic is disguise, and I will occasionally perform as Mr. Jain’s stand-in.”

Ulisena was quite proud when talking about this.

 But in fact, he only served as Jain's stand-in once, and only had a few seconds to flit around the stage, most of the time disguised as someone else.

William stepped into this magic house and looked at the rooms in front of him.

Various paints and sebum solutions are piled on the cabinet shelves, and the pungent smell comes from them.

 The wall directly opposite is also covered with various human face masks that have been completed and are being dried. They are perfect, delicate and flawless.

William's keen eyes quickly discovered the distinctive piece in the mask.

 It is a delicate, shadowy female mask smeared with white foundation.

 “Mr. Ulisse, is that mask yours too?”

Looking at William's direction, Ulisse was also a little confused.

"Huh? This mask is so strange... Why don't I remember it? Maybe I made it unconsciously during my creative frenzy."

Uliser himself was quite curious,

When he took the initiative to get close to the mask and tried to touch its material to recall the origin of the human skin mask.

 Hum~ (Thought fluctuation)

He not only touched the skin of the mask, but also felt the flesh under the skin. There were even two dark eyeballs growing out from between the eye sockets that shouldn't exist.

at the same time,

All the masks in the room began to come alive, with eyes growing out, dark mucus flowing from their mouths, and even tentacles coming out and flying in the air.
