Chapter 491 Accident

 The "Nightmare Rehearsal" is over.

Swish~ The cone-shaped tentacles were withdrawn from the port on the back of William's head and retracted into Catherine's octopus-like brain.

"Wow, it's so fun! William, you guy can actually come up with this kind of 'high performance' program. If you can really achieve the rehearsal effect on the spot, you may be able to achieve "MaxAwesome" in the finale performance, which is to maximize fear. Effect.

  In other words, the audience is allowed to surrender all their fears and be completely immersed in the melody of fear. "

Huh~

William covered his head again and took a deep breath to review the dream rehearsal.

 He has a rough idea of ​​the upcoming performance, but he is very aware that there will be more variables in the actual situation, and he cannot take it lightly at all.

From the corner of his eye, William also noticed the side: "Huh? This mural... was formed during the process of combining our brains?"

“Wow, it’s so beautiful! It seems that our brains are very compatible~ Hehe, just keep this mural in your room forever, so that William, you can think of me at any time.”

“Okay, Catherine, help me go up and inject the nightmare substance into the audience so that they can better understand the situation.”

Before leaving, Catherine gently bumped William's waist with her arm, "Hey! I'm training with you like this, and I have to put in the nightmare substance for you. I can't just say thank you and it will be done, right?"

 “What do you want to do?”

"Didn't you always remind me not to be affected by Art's evil influence before? Then how about you spare some time for me to be deeply influenced by you, so that I can become more human and more likely to be immersed in those base desires. ?”

“We’ll wait until the performance is successful.”

"Then I'll go up first. The finale is expected to start in two hours. You should adjust your condition quickly and make sure you don't make any mistakes."

Catherine jumped out of the magic area. She seemed to be as happy as she had been for a long time.

 A few minutes later, Catherine, dressed as a waiter, appeared in the performance area carrying a large plate of freshly baked octopus cookies, which she distributed to the audience one by one.

Whether they are spectators who are already in a bad state and are in a trance, or those whose consciousness is strong enough not to be affected by the circus division for the time being, when they smell the fragrance of the cookies and cast their eyes on the surface of the octopus cookies that seem to be crawling, their hunger desires are instantly aroused. .

 Take the biscuits and put them in your mouth.

When they wanted to grab extra biscuits, Catherine's whip would come down, bringing pain and killing their gluttony.

“Don’t eat too much~ William just wants to be in a ‘half-asleep and half-awake’ state. If you fall into a complete dream, it will be detrimental to the subsequent performance.”

Just when Catherine's cookies covered half of the audience at the scene, a breath of uneasiness for her, the main member, came from the front, accompanied by Ta~Ta~Ta! sharp sound.

Like some kind of "high heels".

"Catherine, you are indeed doing something that violates the 'rules' here."

The sound was very strange, as if two bands were emitted together. One sound was like a sharp sword piercing the ears, and the other sound was like a long finger piercing the throat.

 “You! Why are you here?”

“You are here as the main member, why can’t I be here? Originally, the finale of the trial operation was handled by a young acrobatic troupe under my command, and they had rehearsed hard for many days.

 As a result, yesterday, Mr. Jain temporarily reported a particularly interesting magic show and replaced my team.

 That’s why I came here specifically to take a look today. I didn’t expect you to do some illegal things here to warm up for the upcoming performance. This is not okay. The main members cannot interfere with the trial performance. This is the circus's internal rule.

If you take these illegal biscuits and leave now, I won't care. But if you continue to do illegal things, I will have no choice but to report it to the boss. "

Catherine's heart tightened. What she was doing was just a trivial matter, but if this trivial matter reached the ears of her boss, it might turn into a big matter and even make her unable to get rid of it for a long time.

“Haha, I’ll give you all the remaining biscuits~ They’re all cooked by me and they taste great.

 Sister, if you have time, you must come to the clown house to play. "

 Catherine delivered all the remaining biscuits, then turned around and left through the nearest exit.

When Catherine walked out of the venue with a smile on her face,

　　唰! She tore off the entire scalp, and the faces of the women inside Catherine's head were extremely ferocious.

But after thinking about it, I could only suppress my anger, "This woman... I can't fight her now~ I can only give up on this matter, and I have to go back and inform William. If there are no cookies to plant the seeds of nightmares in advance, the audience will be very upset." It’s hard to fall asleep.”

 On the audience stage.

The mysterious woman threw Catherine's biscuits into the trash can along with the plate, and walked down the aisle with a model-like gait.

Her fingers touched the eyebrows of the audience who had eaten the cookies one by one, making them wake up again, even more sober than usual.

 The audience who woke up were immediately attracted by the woman's figure and found it difficult to look away, but...

 As they gazed at the sight, they felt more and more strange,

This seemingly perfect woman always feels that there is an extra part of her body when she moves, and it is definitely not a visual problem, but a real extra limb.

 Or to have an extra leg when moving,

Or when touching their foreheads, two hands are clearly between their legs, but a third hand stretches out.

Or you can vaguely see two heads when shaking your head,

The more you indulge in her figure, the more inconsistent you will feel, and an uncanny valley effect continues to spread in your mind.

When they looked away, they still felt that there was some weird female body climbing on them, reminding them to cheer up and not to be hypnotized or fall asleep.

“Since we want to have the finale, we have to show some real skills instead of doing this kind of small tricks. Let me see what kind of performance the newcomers in the magic area will bring, right?

 Would he make a fool of himself in front of so many people? Hahaha... really looking forward to it. "

The woman had four white and beautiful legs under her skirt, three of which were raised on top of one. She sat alone in the empty space of the auditorium.

 In addition to the woman's head that normally grows on her neck, her four arms jointly hold another.

 Acrobatic Troupe-Leader No. 2

 【Jiu Jitsu-Sister Natalie】

 Or rather, she is the former head of the acrobatic troupe and the personal maid who followed her boss a long time ago.

 But with the arrival of Mr. Rabbit, the acrobatic crown on her head was pulled off.

However, this former acrobatic queen is still the core pillar of the entire acrobatic troupe, and her acrobatic troupe's jujitsu performances can still shine in official competitions.

 She initially hated Mr. Rabbit, but now her attitude has completely changed. She regards Mr. Rabbit as the person she admires and loves the most.

So much so that she began to hate those who might threaten Mr. Rabbit's status, the most prominent of which was Chief Magician Jain.

So when I learned about the change of the finale show in the Magic Zone, I came to deal with it personally, and I believed in my heart that Jian was deliberately targeting the acrobatic troupe.

 …

  Magic Zone.

Everything was ready and William, who was about to go on stage, received the bad news from Catherine as soon as he left the house.

He could only shake his head helplessly, "I had imagined all kinds of accidents that might happen during the performance, but I didn't expect there would be accidents before the performance..."

"What can we do? This woman is the most petty! According to her character, she will definitely eliminate all the seeds of nightmares, and may even give the audience mental strength."

"Is that so...it means that it is basically impossible to fall into a dream."

“Yes, even if I share my nightmare ability with you now, the woman will definitely find out and report it to the boss.

There is only one way now, which is to go to Uncle Jian and ask him to call other assistants in the magic area to fully assist you, so that the performance can be completed smoothly. "

"No... Mr. Jain can help me with the stage decoration. It's enough trouble for him. If I let the entire magic area wipe my **** again, I won't have the shame to stay here in the future, and everyone will naturally look down on me."

 Catherine did me one last favor and helped me get a big enough prop and install it on the stage within ten minutes. "
