William reflects on his own performance experience, and the fear he brings to the audience is based on his own childhood experience, and the fear interpretation is based on the orphanage.

The environment, the atmosphere, and William's role as a number of teachers with very different personalities constantly bring all kinds of pressure to the audience.

What kind of phobia is it?

William couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he could vaguely feel that the seed called 'fear' had taken root in his body, and this seed would grow with the number of performances, and eventually take shape as his path was completed.

"I still can't fully explain and define what fear is, but I'm just 'reading from the script' to imitate the feelings that the orphanage brought me in the past...... This performance was a shortcut, and I had to figure out my own fears.

Write the script independently, create an orphanage-like closed scene, give the participants rules that can bind the body and spirit, but perform original characters.

In this way, I can get my own fears, not just imitate the orphanage.

My phobia is a good match for my epilepsy, and once my phobia is formed, it will definitely help my epilepsy, and "education" will become more effective.

That's right...... Ask Mr. Zock about this, for his phobia must have a good mix with epilepsy.'

Thinking of this, William was ready to make a rigorous plan for the time ahead.

"Catherine, the Magic Feast is held before the official performance, isn't it?"

Catherine sat on the edge of the bed with black and white stockings, tilting her head and fiddling with her fingers, "That's right, there are still 29 days to count!" ”

"Okay, I need to plan for this time and prepare for the upcoming magic banquet or even the official performance."

"Huh? You're still thinking about a formal performance, it's incredible that you, a newcomer who has just been here for less than a day, can participate in the magic feast...... Formal performances are completely different, and it's hard for you to handle them now, so the most you can do is hand over props to Uncle Jain. ”

"Prepare a little, just in case you get the chance.

Anyway, I'm going to go to Mr. Jain's magic house now to ask about the Abyss, and then maybe go to the zoo again to talk to Mr. Zock about the combination of madness and phobias, why don't you come along? ”

Hearing the word abyss, Catherine began to scratch her head quickly, and even accidentally scratched her scalp,

"Hey! You don't need a break, do you? You've never rested since you came to the circus,

First of all, I walked around and made dishes in the back kitchen, and last night we had an all-night dream rehearsal, and today's performance also encountered an accident and temporarily changed the hypnosis strategy. ”

"Isn't a dream rehearsal the equivalent of sleeping?" William poked his skull, "My mad brain can find all kinds of gaps to sleep. ”

"Don't go...... I don't really like Uncle Jain taking off his mask and revealing the abyss. ”

"Huh? Is it any different from usual? ”

"I just don't like it, it's very uncomfortable to be stared at by those eyes, and besides, there shouldn't be many circuses in the whole circus who like to be stared at by the abyss.

Those who are rumored to have been watched by Uncle Jain will eventually go to the abyss.

As for the zoo, I don't want to go either, Zoch's exhibitionist hates it to death! You go alone, I'll be asleep in bed and waiting for you, anyway, I just need to sleep to do all kinds of rehearsal training. ”

Catherine was already sleepy, and after making a goodbye gesture, she fell asleep, her mouth open to breathe as black mucus dripped from the corners of her mouth.

At the same time, there was a strong sense of danger spreading through Catherine's body.

William had a very intuitive premonition that if she approached Catherine at this time, she would be attacked by some kind of monster, even more dangerous than when she was awake.

"Catherine this guy has a certain resemblance to Garon, an insomniac,

It's likely that the 'nightmare tentacles' in her body are also related to creatures from another world......"

William got up and left the room, heading towards the deepest part of the magic zone.

Passing through the innermost separate passageway, he once again stood in front of the black door that exuded the aura of the abyss, this time no longer opening the door by Jain himself. When William stretched out his finger and clasped it lightly on the surface of the black door.

Airplanes!

The straight passage he was currently in had been flipped, and William was sure that this was definitely not a mental influence, but a real spatial flip.

Until the passage flips into a vertical state, the black door turns into an abyss opening.

Fall into it...... Airplanes!

The moment the body fell into the black door, it was invaded by darkness, and when it came back to its senses, it had already fallen to the soft object, and it was in a sitting position.

Click! The lights are on.

William, who had regained consciousness, sat on a leather sofa,

Mr. Jain, wearing a mask, came from the side, holding two cups of freshly brewed tea, one of which was handed to William, and he himself sat on the opposite side of the sofa.

This is Jain's magic house, but the process of entering the door is simulated as falling into the abyss.

"How does it feel to fall into the abyss? Although you do not feel fearful, your spirit and consciousness are instantly deprived of it. ”

William scratched his head, "Yes...... This is different from the feeling of the original tomb. ”

"Of course, the abyss of the original tomb is under the direct control of the original deceased, stable and very friendly to the deceased. The abyss formed by the Darklands is beyond anyone's control and belongs to a completely unknown area.

[Extremely Dark Land] was already listed as a forbidden area in the old world, and only treasure hunters who were not afraid of death, or a very small number of characters who were really close to the darkness and had a need for the abyss, would go to it.

The abyss that appears in the Darkest Lands with a small probability is extremely dangerous.

You must have taken the initiative to come to me to seek knowledge of the abyss, and for the sake of your very good performance today, I will give you a little science popularization of the history of the formation of the abyss.

This is necessary for you to touch the abyss later. ”

"Okay!" William's epilepsy was fully activated, ready to record Jain's words word for word.

"Before the sun falls, the light it spreads can penetrate 99.9% of the Old World. The 0.1% area that cannot be irradiated is called a "corner".

There is a pile of sin, disorder and chaos, and it is an absolute dark area in which not even the monastic pursuit will be involved.

Therefore, many wanted criminals and malignant patients will choose to go to the "corner" to spend the rest of their lives there.

With the outbreak of war in the Old World, the most wanted criminals, wicked people, and anonymous people in the "corner" have also thrown themselves into this war.

Brutal by nature, they regard war as a once-in-a-lifetime gift, and fight the invaders to the end at any cost, so that the overall mortality rate of the "corner" can rank among the top three death zones in the entire Old World.

The sun has fallen, and the war is over.

The already dark "corners" became even darker, and the ground was littered with the corpses of sinful people and foreign invaders.

In such extremes, an unknown plague of darkness, chaos, and sin is born within.

This plague will devour all light and hope, and will continue to erode everything by casting a layer of darkness on everything.

The "corners" scattered with this unknown disease were officially renamed the "Darkest Places", and over time, the unknown diseases accumulated in the Darkest Places, forming large and small potholes.

The abyss is formed by these potholes, but the evolution rate is very low, only 0.001%.

As for where the abyss leads, the nature and meaning of existence, this answer needs to be explored by yourself, and my dictation is useless. ”

William drew an important inference from these words.

"Corner, dark area, could it be that Mr. Jain was the ...... back then?"

Jain waved his hand, "No, no, no~ I'm not a wanted person, and I'm not a villain. I was born in a "corner".

Although the survival rate of newborns there is less than 1 in 10,000, I was lucky enough to survive and learned a magic trick that is enough to make a living in the "corner", and I have always been neutral.

Since I was instilled with the idea that if I left the corner, I would be taken away by the monks, and because I didn't know much about the outside, I still chose to stay in the corner even when the war broke out and the evil sun fell.

Until the formation of the Darkest Places,

Until I was swept into the abyss of the local accident along with a large number of war corpses.

I don't know how long it took, but I seemed to be the only one who had completed the climb...... But that doesn't mean I'm completely out of the abyss.

Because I have been waiting under the abyss for a long time, where the darkness erodes and changes my constitution,

The most intuitive is the [Eye Pupil], which assimilates it into an abyssal shape.

Although such eyes allow me to see the abyss, they also bring me an inextricable curse, and if I don't wear a mask, I will pass the abyss to the outside world, and more outside patients will be affected and fall into it.

The magic that I was originally proficient in has also been transformed into a unique abyss magic, which can bring disaster if it is not controlled well.

However, I was lucky.

When I crawled out of the abyss, lost my nature, lost my purpose and direction,

The boss appeared in front of me, giving me a place to belong and a direction, as well as the home I've always dreamed of.

So I love everything about the circus, and I'm willing to nurture more talent for it, like a talent like William, or a clown with a nightmare trait like Catherine, even if she doesn't belong in my department, I'm going to make sure she grows smoothly. ”
