Chapter 481 Rules of the Acrobatic Troupe

 The number of beasts in the zoo has reached more than 300, of which 23 are perfect beasts that can be used for performances.

And among these twenty-three, there is a special existence, which even completed the path in a beastly state and became the beast creation that Zouk is most proud of.

Finally, in a great show, he gets special approval from his boss to make the beast a deputy trainer.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

During the three people's visit to the zoo, they could always feel the cold gaze from a certain kind of snake. William also spied a jade snake body accidentally appearing in the beams, shadows and corners of the zoo, following closely in the dark.

 It wasn’t until she received Zouk’s look that she finally left.

Walking through the second half of the zoo, this area was reserved in advance by the circus. The beasts have not yet been arranged to move in. There is nothing to see and naturally there is no communication.

William, who was caught in the middle, could clearly feel the embarrassment and the atmosphere where conflicts could break out at any time.

To ease the atmosphere, William began to talk about a topic that was also of great interest to him.

“Senior Zouk, the main members of the circus like you should often do other things besides performing, right?”

“Yes, we often hold some party activities, even activities that the boss personally participates in or even initiates, such as [Sabab Banquet].

This is considered one of my favorite activities. The boss requires each major member to make his or her best dish for others to taste in the Sabbat room.

The person with the highest number of votes will get the opportunity to communicate privately with the boss.

Although the "Exquisitely Carved Roasted Fresh Brains" I made did not win first place, the quality is definitely the highest. "

 Catherine on the side couldn't hold back her laughter.

“Haha! You are so embarrassed to say that the food you cooked is delicious~ The so-called fine carving is just beautiful on the surface. It’s not because the carving took too long, the inside of the carving smelled bad.”

“Bah! The boss has the nerve to criticize me after the octopus **** burst into flames. If I were the boss, I would fire you on the spot.”

 Originally it was just an awkward atmosphere, but the topic became tense.

William could only try his best to change the subject, "Speaking of which, will there be a 'competition' among the main members or a clear ranking of strengths and weaknesses?"

 When talking about this, Zoke also became interested.

“There is a ranking, but it’s just a ranking of the pros and cons of circus performances. The ranking is ultimately based on the quality of the performance, the amount of fear gained, and the boss’s evaluation.

 As for individual strength or weakness? Although this is not explicitly listed, everyone basically knows that the strength of Miss Catherine around you is naturally at the bottom. "

"Why do you, the master trainer, have the nerve to compete with me? I've only been in the circus for a long time, and you've been here for a long time. Why don't you also compete with the boss Art?"

"Art? Hmm... Although one-on-one is very troublesome, if you include the beasts I trained, I should be able to barely overpower him, right?"

"Bah! If the boss is excluded, Art's personal strength will definitely rank among the top three in the circus."

“Top three? Do you think so highly of your clown boss? Then tell me who the other two are?”

“Who else is there? It must be Uncle Jain and the pervert from the acrobatic troupe.”

“I have no objection to these two people, and you have to keep your voice down, Catherine... We are on the way to the acrobatic troupe. If that guy hears us, your boss may not be able to protect you.”

Catherine was shocked by this reminder. She tightly held William's arm with her arms and stopped talking.

　　It wasn’t until she realized that she had not left the zoo that she realized that she had been tricked, and immediately made a face to Zoke opposite.

This conversation aroused William's curiosity, "By the way, who are you talking about? A certain leader of the acrobatic troupe?"

This time it was Catherine who explained, “As the largest organization under the circus, the Acrobatic Troupe is jointly managed by three troupe leaders, and there are also differences between the three troupe leaders.

William The Mosander you met before is the guy who is good at walking on stilts and making braised chicken wings. He is just the new third regiment leader who was temporarily promoted after completing his path, and he belongs to the lowest level.

 There are two guys on top of him,

 The one who ranks first among them is what we call...'pervert'. "

 Catherine deliberately lowered her voice when she said the last word so as not to be heard.

 “What kind of person is he?”

“It can’t be called a human being or a patient. It’s not easy to describe anyway. It’s better to witness this kind of perversion with your own eyes. Anyway, the next stop is the acrobatic troupe, maybe you can see this guy.

Although I and Zork are with you, William, you still have to pay attention to the "rules" of the acrobatic troupe. "

 “Rules? Can you elaborate on them?”

Catherine did not dictate directly, but put her arm into her chest, fiddled with it for a while, and then took out a crumpled piece of paper.

Notes for Acrobatic Troupe (Visitors)≯

  1. Jumping is prohibited. Any form of feet off the ground in the acrobatic troupe area is extremely dangerous.

  2. It is prohibited to use any performance props of the acrobatic troupe. If you see scattered props, please call the internal staff of the acrobatic troupe to help pick them up.

3. There may be ‘rabbits’ inside the acrobatic troupe. If you encounter a rabbit, please determine its eye color as soon as possible. Depending on the eye color, visitors need to do different things.

　　 (Red) Immediately evacuate from the current area until you exit the acrobatic troupe.

  (White) Just pretend not to see it and just pass by the rabbit. Absolutely no interaction of any kind.

  (Green) is completely harmless and will protect your safety. If necessary, you can invite it to stand on your shoulders and accompany you throughout the tour.

 (Black) Please immediately notify the members of the nearby acrobatic troupe to arrest you, or you can also participate in the arrest. If you can hand it over to the acrobatic troupe, you will receive an ordinary reward.

 4. If you happen to encounter an internal rehearsal of the acrobatic troupe, please keep quiet. If a small noise is made and the rehearsal fails, the individual needs to replace the loser to complete the performance until it is completely successful.

Looking at the above rules, William couldn't help but recall the various rule-based incidents he had encountered before he became a gentleman.

 “Rabbit…this rule is a little weird.”

“Yes, the perversion we are talking about is related to rabbits. Anyway, once you encounter a rabbit, just follow the rules.”

The three of them returned to the original crossroads and were about to go to the largest department in the circus - the 'Acrobatic Troupe'.

As the passage goes deeper, arrows with rabbit marks appear on both sides.

‘Acrobatic troupe ahead, please stay away’

 ‘Beware of rabbits’

 ‘Beware of falling objects from heights’

 ‘Don’t disturb the acrobatic show’

 ‘Never make any verbal comments about the performance of the circus’

These strange warning signs exerted a kind of mental pressure invisibly, and finally, under the leadership of Zoke, they walked straight through the curtain at the end of the corridor.

A very large area similar to a photography base appears in front of you, with various closed studios measuring tens of meters or even hundreds of meters stacked inside.

 Every sound of the collision of flesh and blood and cries can be heard in every studio, which is inexplicably philosophical.

The gap left between the photo studio and the studio forms a maze-like passage. By bypassing these passages and reaching the opposite side, you can complete the entire tour of the acrobatic troupe.

 Some studios with open doors are open for entry and viewing.

When William quietly glanced at the first open studio, he happened to see a scene of 'human body splicing'. Acrobats were putting their own bodies together with others, and the scene was weird.

I even saw an advanced version of the human centipede crawling quickly and doing some difficult movements.

The former person cuts off the sole of his foot and connects the heel bone to the shoulder bone of the latter person. Everyone relies entirely on the strength of their arms to crawl, and can even achieve the upward movement of the entire centipede body through group belly curling.

William was not too interested in this kind of human body splicing. When he turned his gaze back and continued to look deeper,

　　叽叽~

 A rabbit suddenly jumped out.

The emerald-like eyes were very conspicuous, and William immediately squatted down and waved to the rabbit, his whole body exuding a disguised scent of affinity.

　　Although Catherine on the side made the same move, she even took out a carrot from the treasure chest to seduce him.

 But the rabbit seemed to smell a little malice in Catherine, and finally jumped on William's shoulder.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　～

The moment he jumped on his shoulder, William was stunned.

 Because what he felt was not the touch of a rabbit standing on his shoulder, but more like someone putting his hand on his shoulder.
