A group of "receptionists" with exaggerated makeup and eyelids fixed with wire went to the magic area with various tools in hand, and in just one hour, they carved out a single room for habitation and arranged and decorated according to the blueprint.

ultimately

A one-bedroom assistant's room was created, and a [W.B] number representing William's name was affixed to the side of the door.

Since William had just become an assistant, the room layout was basically no different from that of an ordinary house, and only basic magic props were provided, and if you wanted to use advanced props, you had to submit an application.

However, as William performs within the circus in the future, he will be able to get a chance to upgrade his house by solving problems, performing on stage, improving his status, or getting praise from his boss.

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

Although I can't go directly to the stage for a "trial operation" performance, I can give you some off-site support, such as disguised as a receptionist to give the audience some food mixed with nightmare substances in advance, so that they can be more easily controlled by your mind and shape their minds. ”

"When it comes to dreams, is it also magic?"

"Why not? The reason why Uncle Jain was so optimistic about me was because of nightmares! Hypnotic performances are also magic. ”

When he heard this, a bold idea flashed through William's mind.

"Hmm...... Will the stage for trial operation allow for a large-scale makeover? ”

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

The problem here is that if the total amount of fear recovered from the performance does not cover the cost of setting up 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 mistake, and your assistant title will be stripped outright, and you will even have to pay for the loss of the circus with your body and soul. ”

William wasn't worried at all, "It's okay, as long as Catherine doesn't cheat me." ”

"Phew! If I want to trick you, I'll let the boss eat you in the clown house. You don't want to think about who is in the acrobatic troupe who stands up and speaks to you. ”

"I'm just talking, and besides, in the acrobatic troupe, didn't you hide the farthest when Mr. Rabbit arrived?"

Catherine jumped up from the edge of the bed and took out the black and white makeup box between the treasure chests to touch up her makeup, so that her cheeks would not turn an abnormal red.

"That rabbit is scary, okay!? When I had first become a vice-clown, and when I had the chance to visit the acrobatic troupe, I was caught by the rabbit for some trivial incident, and my bones were broken and my muscles were broken into noodles, and if Mr. Jain hadn't arrived in time, I would have been used as rabbit feed.

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

If I hadn't taken you to visit William today, I wouldn't have gone to the acrobatic troupe. ”

"Is that a trifle? You have trampled more than a dozen rabbits in a row, and those are all part of Mr. Rabbit, which is also an important eyeliner distributed in the acrobatic troupe.

Such offense in other territories will certainly give you enough punishment according to the character of the rabbit. ”

Accompanied by the voice of a third person, wearing Guy. Jain, the magician of the Fox Mask, arrives in the cramped single cubicle.

"People don't know~"

Jain came to William's side, "Mr. Rabbit is brutal, but he is also a very disciplined and well-behaved guy, and it is easier to get along with than Art. ”

"Hmm...... This time, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rabbit, and I felt that the other party was not bad. ”

Jain didn't comment much, and turned the topic back, "How's William's training?" 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. ”

"I've got the basic idea, something like this."

William gave Jain his thoughts, after all, he hadn't done it in the circus yet. Whether this idea can be realized, and whether some details can be done, it is better to listen to Jain's opinion.

"Is it possible to achieve the effect of combining virtual and real through scene construction? If a performance of this difficulty can achieve the desired effect, it can even be used for a formal performance.

If you're sure you can do it, I'll fill out the application for you, and a large set up like this requires a lot of people to be mobilized, and it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Let's do it~ Tomorrow's trial finale will arrange your show, and the number of audiences will reach the maximum at that time, if you can achieve the desired effect, you can not only repay the cost of stage renovation but also allow you to get a lot of money, and maybe even get the attention of the circus.

For the rest of the day, you'll have a "mind rehearsal". ”

"Trouble Mr. Jain."

"I'm looking forward to your premiere tomorrow, and I'll be there if I'm free."

"Okay."

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

"Hee-hee, if Uncle Jain helps you write the application, then this matter is basically over, don't mess up!"

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

Plus, I'm going to have to try out the new stuff you've gifted. ”

"Huh? It's hard to dream in a scene like this that I've never seen before...... Unless someone peeks into your memories, a clear image of your brain. ”

"Come on~"

Click~ William very skillfully broke open the skull, and the pitch-black mad brain appeared in front of him.

Located in the back of the head, the book imprint 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 ...... Then I'm going to come in! ”

Catherine was so excited that she also broke her skull, revealing a completely different scene.

"Nightmare Brain"

Evolved from her earliest migraines, and now she has reached a more perfect posture through the nightmare pathway.

It is not only the structural difference of the brain, but also the complete interaction system of the entire ventricles.

The inner walls of the cranial cavity are lined with hundreds of women's faces of equal size (the size of quail eggs), all of which remain open, spitting out a nightmare root from their mouth and connecting to the most central brain.

An equally dark, moist brain hangs in the center of the cranial cavity, covered with nightmarish tentacles, giving the impression of a strange-looking deep-sea octopus.

And the female face that surrounds the inside of the cranial cavity resembles its most devout adherents.

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

Moment.

Catherine is taken to the orphanage from a third-person perspective to experience William's experience firsthand.

About an hour has passed.

Catherine pulled out the brain wiring in advance and widened her eyes, "William, you!" What the hell is this...... Are these humans so perverted? ”

"yes, that's why I wasn't too touched when I spied on Catherine's memories before, because we didn't seem to have had a good childhood.

Okay~ You've also read the memory, so hurry up and plug in to help with the "dream rehearsal". ”

"You...... All right. ”

In this way, the two of them maintained a state of brain connection, did not think about tea and dinner, and did not move for a day and a night.

It's just that during the connection, pitch-black matter constantly overflowed from the brains of the two.

The nightmare fluid that overflowed from Catherine's brain, supplemented by the black fluid in William's brain, painted a delicate portrait of himself on the wall of the current room.

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

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

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