Chapter 496 Fear

【Backstage】

 The bottled fear liquid collected from William's performance is being concentrated and compressed, and the final liquid essence will be used as food in the "circus tent".

 Once the tent consumes fear essence, it will grow and gain more internal space. It will also become more stable and less likely to be discovered.

 Overall, it is more perfect.

  What exactly is a circus tent? Not many people in the circus can fully explain it.

 Some say it is an ancient prop related to the origin of disease,

 Some people say it is a treasure from another world that the boss captured from the invaders during the Old World War.

 Some people say that Tent, like the chef, is one of the boss’s first followers.

William is also very curious, but has no way of asking. This kind of thing must be known only by going deep into the circus and becoming a formal member, or even getting the opportunity to communicate in depth with the boss.

The backstage staff wearing the five of diamonds quickly completed the amount calculation.

“Mr. William, the total amount of essence you earned from this performance is 50ml. After deducting the cost of 20ml for venue construction and 10% of the audience’s physical control rights, this is the amount of 27ml you earned from this performance.

We found out that this is your first time performing, so we gave you this "Trading Bracelet" from the circus. "

A hollow ring-shaped bracelet with scale marks was handed out from the fifth diamond, and a small piece of pitch black substance was injected into it, which corresponded to the scale of 27ml.

 Old World coins are not circulated within the circus, and fear is the only currency.

 Catherine looked at the scale on the bracelet and shook her head.

“William, Maximizing Fear only got such a small amount of money! It seems that it cost a lot to build the stage, and why did you buy those useless audiences? Is there any use in using them as slaves?

The only use for this kind of walking dead that has been drained of value is to turn into the dust of the old world. "

William shook his finger, "No, they are of great use!

The fear is drained, which means that their emotional feedback is completely out of balance, and they are even unable to express excess emotions, and can conduct more pure learning as a "student".

If the learning efficiency is doubled, I can hold a "thesis defense" faster and recover knowledge. "

 Catherine covered her ears with both hands. She hated hearing these incomprehensible things, "Okay~ 27ml is a lot of money for a newcomer.

I personally suggest that you take out 20ml to upgrade the room first. The room is very important to the circus people. It not only represents the living environment, but also represents the tent space that you occupy personally.

Moreover, I am quite picky. If you want me to train with you, you must at least have two rooms and one living room, separate daily training from bed training, and get a large bed that is comfortable enough to withstand the training of the two of us. bed.

 You can keep the remaining money for the time being and continue to upgrade the room when you have money in the future.

  Anyway, you already have a fear collection on you, and other items should not be used for the time being.

By the way, why didn’t you use the collection I gave you during the performance? "

“Because the performance is already good enough, I don’t plan to use external objects... Besides, there were sisters supervising the show at the time, so it wouldn’t be good for me to directly use the fear collection to dominate the game.

 I feel like this thing is better used as a decoration to exaggerate the fearful atmosphere in the house. "

William took out the horrifying collection that Catherine had lost to him in a bet - a withered and hairy finger, with its nail caps in pieces and part of the rotten flesh exposed.

Once this finger is exposed to the air, it will make a "clicking" sound like fingernails scraping glass, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Soon, the magic house was converted from one room to two rooms and one living room, and a full set of fear furniture was also purchased, which was made of fear wood grown in the interior space of the circus tent, which helped to some extent in the formation of phobias.

 The fingers given by Catherine were also stored in the niche in the living room.

 In addition, William also spent 5ml to purchase a "mini stage" space device.

 According to the clerk, this was something belonging to the former chief magician. After his death, it became the property of the circus and was only sold internally.

As for the cause of the other party's death, it is a secret, and it is not something ordinary members like William can inquire about.

 The reason why it is so cheap is that the space device does not have the function of a magic performance, but is just a toy made by a former magician.

But this thing is really suitable for William who may be granted a new career or even open a department.

 Approximately the size of a chessboard, completely scaled down to the size of a circus stage. Using deformable materials made by a former magician, the stage can be quickly changed according to individual ideas.

 William can be used to pre-set the stage and conceive the performance content more accurately and carefully.

  【William's Magic House】

 Catherine was lying on the bed doing nothing, seeming to be thinking about Art being injured today. She had not seen this kind of situation for a long time.

“William, who is your friend? Have I seen him in Zion?”

“I haven’t seen him. He is a special patient and does not belong to Zion. Like me, he is a “high-quality customer” designated by the Duke... Art also said that he is directly related to [Moon].

 According to my understanding, the moon of the old world was completely destroyed in that war and could not be constructed.

 But with the occurrence of world infection, the concept of moon resurfaced in the infected world, that is, the human world where I live. And Lorian is the patient directly related to the construction of the new moon. "

“It turns out that he is a sick person associated with the new moon! No wonder the boss was injured... The other party seems to have taken the initiative to find the circus because of you, and you yourself also used the moonlight illusion in the performance. It seems that the two of you have a deep relationship?”

While Catherine asked questions, her eyes became strange.

“It’s relatively deep. That guy was born with a “twin”, half of which was destroyed in the process of revenge. I happened to appear at that time and became his target for completion.

 He has always wanted to assimilate me and turn me into his other half. "

"Bah! What a beautiful thought! This stinky woman really deserves to die! If she dares to come to the circus again one day, I will call the boss, Zoke, and Uncle Jahn to kill her together!"

 “Lorian is not a woman.”

“Ah? It turns out to be a man~ The patient associated with the old world’s Sick Moon was an out-and-out beauty, flawless and impeccable.

 Neither can men! If he really wants to use you to complete his twin body, the circus will take action. "

Looking at Catherine's extremely serious look, William also smiled happily: "No, I will resolve the matter between him and me myself. I have been waiting for the other one for a long time.

 Okay, let’s get back to the topic.

I should have officially touched my fear now, right? I experienced primitive fear in the kitchen, and also brought fear to the audience on the stage. The expanded magic room also purchased a full set of fear furniture, as well as a collection of fear gifts from Catherine.

Speaking of which, how do you develop the "phobia" necessary to become a core member of the circus? How to identify the type of phobia you have. "

Catherine tilted her head after hearing the question.

"Huh? William, how could you ask such a question... The answer should have been figured out during the performance, right? The performance you presented and the fear flashing in the audience's eyes are the answer.

However, since your performance is a new genre, confusion may indeed arise. "

William nodded, "Oh...I understand."

Catherine continued to explain, “The more you participate in a few performances, the phobia will gradually take shape. This is how everyone goes through it. Before you know it, the phobia has taken root in the soul and will be with you forever.

In addition, the Sabbat will also help the phobia take root and improve. After all, the boss will be there in person, so you have to seize the opportunity. "
