The kitchen is located on the south side of the circus and is not directly accessible.
There is a secret door hidden in the corridor leading to the restaurant, which can only be opened by the key members of the circus.
When the trainer Zuo Ke was about to open the secret door, Catherine dodged and pushed him behind her, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"
There was a small depression in the wall of the passage in front of me, which was made of large pieces of rough cut stone.
Catherine first pressed her finger on it, imprinting the outline of the groove on the surface of her finger... Swish! She directly cut off the finger flesh of the corresponding shape and stuffed it in tightly.
Boom!
The door sank, revealing a secret passage constructed with dark red stone bricks. The entire passage was not only swept very cleanly, but also deeply polished, making it clean and hygienic.
The end of the passage corresponds to the entrance to the kitchen.
Rather than a kitchen, it is more like a sterile laboratory. The entrance corresponds to a complex "buffer room" for body disinfection and clothing change for visitors. In addition, if an emergency occurs in the kitchen, the buffer room can also serve as an isolation.
There was a kitchen staff guarding the door.
He was wearing a surgeon's gown, a surgical cap, and a fully enclosed breathing mask that filtered the air he exhaled, keeping it absolutely clean.
At the same time, he also wore a black leather butcher's apron over his surgical gown, which was engraved with a "piece of meat surrounded by hair" stamp, representing the unit he belonged to - the Fear Kitchen.
As a big shot like Zuo Ke stated his purpose, the other party politely led everyone into the buffer room and isolated them in single disinfection rooms.
William thought it would be a very tedious process. When he was about to take off his clothes, a white light swept by, and the disinfection was completed. In addition, a notification sounded from the side of the wall:
“Your clothes are very special, clean and tidy. No germs that may contaminate the kitchen were detected. On the contrary, the smell of death flowing inside the clothes can play a good disinfecting role.
So you don’t have to change your clothes, you can just wear the apron we have here.”
The announcement is over and the side door opens.
There is a special black apron hanging on the side of the buffer room exit door. The moment William puts on the apron.
Buzz! The tinnitus actually echoed in his brain, and at the same time, he had an urgent desire to cook. Although it was quickly suppressed by his brain, William seemed very surprised.
“An apron can do this? Wearing it makes you want to cook delicious food… It’s really interesting.”
As William walked out of the buffer room, a deep red-themed and extremely large kitchen area came into view, allowing up to twenty people to cook at the same time.
A stove with a flame array printed on it.
Body cavity jar for patients with dryness and heat syndrome with baking and stewing functions.
There is an on-site vegetable garden where a variety of vegetables and fruits are grown.
The food processing area is filled with various knives, torture instruments, and even operating table fixtures.
There is also a garbage area with 28 types of garbage classification grooves, and equipped with crushers, meat grinders, acid etching solutions and other processing equipment.
The diversity of the kitchen was beyond William's imagination, but his eyes kept wandering among the various kitchen utensils as if searching for something, and finally stopped at a safe embedded in the deep wall.
Even though it was sealed multiple times, William could still feel a hint of fear leaking out from the gaps in the safe.
It's different from Catherine's nightmare phobia, and it's also different from the clown Art's trypophobia... This is not a certain kind of fear, but a primitive fear without a defined nature.
As William observed attentively, the fear actually penetrated William's eyeballs and spread across his retinas, presenting a dynamic video that gave him a feeling of watching VR.
The video led William to a secret room with layers of enclosures, where pieces of wriggling flesh were scattered around and the gaps were filled with black hair.
Waves of primitive fear floated up from the deepest part, transforming into arms with human faces carved on them that pulled William's body and dragged him towards the depths.
"William, do you want me to burn the unknown substance between the retinas with the evil sun? It seems bad to continue watching like this." Little Grape's voice came.
"Don't... continue reading."
William did not reject the visual image given by this fear and continued to watch.
As we go deeper, the amount of flesh and hair increases, and there are even some pieces of flesh with hair, which are shaped like human heads. They crawl slowly using the fear tentacles growing from their necks, or hang in the air and shake their heads constantly.
Even with only visual observation, William began to breathe heavily, and the fear in his body was surging out like a tide.
It's not that the scene in front of me is so scary,
Rather, it is the proportions and tones of these pictures, the proportions and arrangements of various meat materials, the mental oppression brought by the restricted space, and the completely unknown source of fear in the deepest part.
The accumulation of various factors deepens the fear, increasing the visual sense of fear dozens of times.
When William continued to push on and finally reached the deepest point, a dense curtain of black hair blocked his way. When he reached out and tried to open the curtain,
A tingling sensation instantly came from the palm of my hand, and the picture disappeared and returned to reality.
It was not the pain caused by the prick of hair, but the pain caused by someone digging a fingernail into the base of William's palm, causing blood to ooze out.
"The scene behind the hair curtain is not something you can see now... However, you seem to have a good affinity for "fear", and you can reach the depth of the hair curtain when you feel the primitive fear for the first time."
The one standing beside him and explaining was the animal trainer Zuo Ke, whose beastly brain sensed William's condition and strangled him at the critical moment.
“Is the boss behind the curtain?”
“No… it’s something you can’t watch right now.
Once you see it, this primitive and pure fear will invade your mind, and your soul and body will be completely confused and eventually collapse in fear, changing in an unpredictable direction. "
"knew."
Zuo Ke still maintained his naked appearance, except that he put on a black apron, which matched his exaggerated and grotesque skull mask, giving him the feeling of a wilderness butcher.
At this moment, Catherine, who was the slowest, changed into a black and white chef's outfit and came out, "Hey! William, why didn't you change your clothes?"
Before William could give an answer, a voice came from deep in the kitchen, "Because his clothes meet the cleanliness standards of the kitchen, he does not need to change his clothes."
The voice ends.
A white-haired old man slowly walked out from the darkness, dressed like a doctor from a gentleman's organization.
But his face is very special. It seems that in order to delay aging, there are many traces of skin grafts and sutures on his face. There are at least five different colors of delicate skin stitched on his face.
He also wore a very special breathing mask that only covered his mouth. It was very large and felt like a storage box.
When William tried to peek into this strange respirator, he discovered that what was stored inside was actually a tongue. An extra-long tongue was stored inside and was constantly secreting saliva.
Use the mask's circulation system to extract excess saliva and expel it regularly.
As William looked more closely, he actually saw hundreds of small pink arms on the surface of the tongue, and there seemed to be eye structures.
"Is it a disease related to the tongue?"
At this time, the animal trainer Zok introduced, "Chef Timmy, this is my good friend, William Behrens. I brought him here to familiarize himself with the kitchen. He will definitely become a key member of the circus in the future."
“It’s rare for you, Zuo Ke, to recommend someone like this, and he’s not from your zoo.
Since you think so highly of me, would you like to try to cook a dish? As long as the taste reaches 50% of the normal standard without using the meat cabinet, the fee will be waived. "
Catherine on the side quickly sent a message to persuade him: "William, don't agree! You have never cooked before, and you are not familiar with the kitchen. The cost of cooking is very high."
William ignored it and glanced at Zuo Ke who didn't express his opinion. After the two looked at each other, they nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let me try, but please give me ten minutes to familiarize myself with the overall structure of the kitchen before I start."
