The first time I experienced visual deprivation, I felt what it was like to be a teacher at Zed.
However, this feeling is extremely uncomfortable. Unlike the physical loss of having both eyes removed, this fundamental visual deprivation directly erases everything related to the eyes. This "sense of loss" seems to create a hole in the soul.
However, due to the existence of the epileptic brain, William was able to barely block out this sense of loss and focus on the situation at hand.
"Generalized epileptic seizure"
William activated the brain cells in the muscle tissue throughout his body and amplified the "sense of touch". When the sense of touch reached ten times the original, he tried to feel the surrounding situation.
Buzz!
As expected, the sense of touch that should have spread out like radar was completely blocked by the golden suit and could not be transmitted at all.
At the same time, the voice of the golden mask was heard beside him.
"Mr. William, this is the core area of our Chamber of Commerce, and what the Duke is doing concerns the fate of the entire Chamber of Commerce. If you accidentally detect it, we can only force brainwashing.
This kind of thorough brainwashing may have a very bad effect on you.
So please be quiet, this golden suit is to protect you, not to restrict you."
"I'm sorry, I don't know the rules."
"It's okay. After all, few people can come here. Even among the entire network of high-quality customers, no more than ten people can come here. We will meet the Duke soon. Think of the questions you need to ask and don't say useless nonsense."
"knew."
The Golden Mask, who was usually very easy to talk to, became extremely serious at this moment, and William no longer made any small movements.
As the golden mask continued to go deeper, the slope became steeper and steeper, until the two of them were completely trapped in it, sinking together in the mud.
As he sank, a liquid rubber-like substance completely blocked William's nostrils, eventually rendering his sense of smell completely ineffective.
After passing through a mud layer of about a hundred meters, we finally fell to the deepest part, the so-called core area of the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, only hearing remains normal.
The sounds of metal colliding, flesh stirring, various animals calling out, and even some indescribable sounds came into my ears, chaotic and countless.
William calmed down and searched for direction among the countless chaotic melodies, finding the voice that belonged only to the Duke.
The sound of fat squeezing each other.
And the special collision sound made when the golden teeth chew food.
Following the sound, we arrived at the Duke's castle.
"William, are you in such a hurry? You have to come to me now!"
Different from his usual gentleness, the sound made by the Duke seemed to be gushing out from the depths of his flesh. If William had not activated his systemic epilepsy in advance, he would have been blown away by this tone.
"I am extremely sorry to bother you, Duke, at this time. I have reached the final fourth stage of my disease epidemic value in the Forest of Pregnancy. I came here this time to inquire about or purchase information about the path.
I hope to lock down my pathway and get it done soon.”
"Didn't I give you a clue about the way a long time ago?"
William was startled by the Duke's words. His brain started working at high speed and he reviewed the whole process of his last meeting with the Duke.
"Could it be a circus?"
“That’s right, your disease is very complicated and does not exist in the discovered pathways. You can only look for the unknown pathway hidden deep inside... This process is difficult and troublesome.
But the circus organization may give you a good direction, and the owner of the circus is more experienced than me in some aspects. "
"Thank you, Duke."
"Of course, you can also choose to buy the clues to the unknown path directly from me. Since this kind of clue involves the essence of the world, the price will reach millions or tens of millions, and it can only be obtained through gambling."
"I'd better go to the circus first. If I can't find a way, I'll come to gamble with you. I'm really sorry, I'm too stupid to think of disturbing the Duke."
Bang!
The Duke patted his belly, and William was teleported directly out of the canyon. The visual blockade was also lifted, his eye sockets grew back, and his eyeballs were held in his hands.
After a while, the prophets Little Grape and Thirteen came over.
"William, why so fast?"
"The Duke was very busy. He gave me the answer and then kicked me back." William explained as he stuffed his eyeballs back into their sockets.
"Have you asked about the route?"
William directly took out the meat ball that had been given to him by the Duke.
Little Grape naturally understood what he meant, "Is it possible that the Duke doesn't have a suitable route for you to go to the Circus of Fear
That's right, your body is too messy, and the currently known pathways are all of high 'purity' and are most likely not suitable for you.
Although the circus is dangerous, we may be able to find unique grapes to taste in a place where talented people from all walks of life gather... and it seems that everyone in the circus is good at cooking, so we may have a good experience. "
Little Grape became more and more excited as he spoke. He gave up his human form and landed on William's shoulder in the most primitive form of a meat ball.
As for its clothing, it turned into a gray scarf, which perfectly matched William's own clothes and covered his mouth and nose.
Everything was ready, but William suddenly turned around and looked at the candle doll behind him.
"Thirteen, you should have heard the conversation between me and Little Grape just now. I will be heading to the Circus of Fear next. The degree of danger is unknown, and I cannot even guarantee my own safety.
How about I leave you with the Duke and let your former master take care of you for a while
You have read almost all the books on puppetry, so you can exchange your thoughts with him. It is difficult to improve yourself if you read alone."
"If this is your arrangement and order, teacher, then I will stay here with the Duke."
William could see that Thirteen preferred to follow him, but after spending some time together, William saw Thirteen's potential and absolutely could not let her take risks.
"Take that as an order. I'll pick you up when I get out of the circus."
"I believe in the teacher."
The Seal of Transaction was activated, and a clone of the golden mask quickly walked out from the depths of the Grand Canyon. After briefly explaining Thirteen's problem,
The Golden Mask charged a "storage fee" based on the size and type of the items and then led Thirteen away.
call…
William returned to his solo state and took a deep breath.
"I never thought that my career path would be connected to the circus... It just so happens that I was thinking of going there to satisfy my curiosity.
First ask the people at the Blackworm Company to see if they can find out the location of the circus.
When William boarded the roundworm car again and asked about the Circus of Fear, the attendant was stunned.
"The Circus of Fear, Mr. William, are you sure you want to contact this special organization? It is rumored that any patient who goes to the Circus of Fear will be kept inside, and no one has ever really left."
"Sure, can your company determine the location of the circus? The price is negotiable."
“No one in the entire Old World can locate the circus, not even the No. 1 transfer company on the market, Redundant.
However, we can provide you with the geographical coordinates of the places where the circus has appeared before. Perhaps with your ability, you can find a pattern from them and infer the area where the circus will appear next time."
"Okay, give me the coordinates first, and I'll tell you the destination after I think about it for a while."
The flight attendant quickly brought out a living map of the old world made of the coils of roundworms, marking the locations where the circus had appeared with fluorescent dots.
Epileptic seizures.
William quickly copied the map in his mind and took it to the library of the Memory Palace for careful analysis. However, no matter which angle he used to deduce it, the number of suspicious locations he got in the end was more than ten.
William took out the meatball given by the Duke, cut half of it and swallowed it.
There is no obvious change in itself, and the feeling is similar to eating an ordinary beef ball.
Just as William was thinking about how to use this luck, the map that was originally placed on the table accidentally slipped to the ground, and when he bent down to pick it up.
The map folded due to falling, and happened to reveal a deduced location, while the rest of the locations were blocked due to folding.
