Everyone present had more or less heard about the possibility that the circus would open a new department around William, the newcomer, but they did not take it too seriously. After all, there had been similar situations before, but they had ultimately been terminated due to lack of capacity.
Unexpectedly, this time at the Demon Banquet, the boss actually pointed it out directly, and it was obvious that he was determined to open a new department.
At the same time, an extremely difficult and almost unlikely opportunity was thrown to William.
Halftime
When the circus officially opens, the audience must be given a certain amount of rest time because each performance will bring an extreme visual impact.
This time period seems good, and the boss even says there are no requirements, but the hidden difficulty behind it is extremely high.
Extreme performances often exhaust the audience's body and spirit.
During the intermission, the audience will slowly recover by resting themselves, eating food distributed by the receptionist, or even injecting medicine.
Inserting unnecessary performances in this situation will not only have a poor effect, but it will also fail to pull the audience back from the previous wonderful performance.
William, who had never participated in a formal performance, might not be able to consider so many issues, but he knew that the opportunity given by his boss was only this once.
Once you refuse, you may never have a similar opportunity again.
Perhaps what the boss wants to see is this decisive courage... If you can't even seize the opportunity, or even dare not touch it, then you are naturally not qualified to sit in the chief position.
The boss's black eyes stared at William, "Why are you still sitting here? The circus will officially open tomorrow.
Although there will be a day to set up the scene and wait for the audience to enter, for you, there is almost no chance to rehearse during this day, so hurry up and do what you should do. "
"yes!"
William left the hall under the guidance of a poker-faced man.
Not long after he left,
Hahaha! Art the Clown suddenly laughed out loud, sweeping his fingers among the crowd.
"Hey! Is this too funny? The dishes cooked by us old guys were almost defeated by a little kid. It was all thanks to Jaune who saved our face."
"Boss, William is indeed talented in cooking." Catherine followed.
The animal trainer Zuo Ke on the other side also added: "We psychopaths are proficient in various fields, and William is the best among them. His dark brain is more sophisticated than other psychopaths I have seen, and even the structure of the maze is beyond my ability to see through at a glance.
As long as you focus on one thing, you will be able to do it well.
Besides, these dumplings are so delicious! Can the boss arrange for William to make them for us once a week? Twice is even better."
Although Mr. Rabbit did not participate in the conversation, he was always adjusting his tie, or nodding in affirmation from time to time with his hands in front of him.
When everyone was almost done discussing, the boss interrupted.
“It seems that within just one month since he came to the circus, this young man William has already communicated with all of you and even become very familiar with you.
The interpersonal relationships are pretty good. This way, the idea of opening a new department will be easier to realize.
His talent is unquestionable, but whether he can show it to the world remains to be seen.
The halftime of the official performance was almost unmanageable for him, a new open source player, not to mention that he only had one day to prepare.
If he can grasp even such an almost zero possibility and fully display his performance talent to the audience, such a talent deserves a special place in our circus."
Everyone present was very sure of what the boss said.
"Boss, don't you need to consider the 'Mark of the Deal' on William?" Sister Natalie, the former head of the acrobatic troupe, asked a question.
“Duke Garrison has similar goals to ours and remains neutral.
Moreover, once my body completely deteriorates, I may be able to use William's relationship and the Duke's funds to maintain the subsequent operation of the circus.
After all, Duke Gary Risen was the only "Epidemic Lord" who did not attack me back then. Although he did not help much, the fat man was very powerful and had the closest ties with the World Bearings.
The fat man would definitely not make a mistake in choosing a talent like William.
That's all I have to say. I wish you all the best for tomorrow's performance. Ahem! Timmy, push me back. The injection dose will be increased to 120% later."
"yes."
As the chef pushed the boss away in a wheelchair, everyone stood up one after another. After the relaxation of the magic feast, they would make final preparations for tomorrow's performance.
When Catherine stood up, she wiped some of the liquid off the surface of the chair with a tissue, and pretended nothing had happened as she returned to the clown house... She had more things to do than the other members.
Although the "tickets" had been issued a few days ago,
However, there may be temporary problems, resulting in some people dying on the way and being unable to attend, so Catherine also needs to find enough substitute audiences to ensure this variable.
She walked faster than Yat and returned to the clown house first.
Just as she stepped back into the black and white factory and pulled the steel wire rope on the roof to lower a fake female body, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards the corner.
"who?"
"Catherine... Art hasn't come back yet, right?"
"William?"
In the corner, he wrapped his whole body in gentleman's clothing to suppress his breath, and used an iron chain mask to block his nerve perception. Even Catherine, the owner of the factory, did not notice it at first.
"What are you doing here with me? Why don't you go and prepare for the performance? If you fail or make a mistake during the official performance, the consequences will be very serious..."
“The boss is right, one day is too tight.
Even if I go back now and prepare temporarily, I will definitely not be able to catch up. If I become nervous and sleep deprived, the probability of making mistakes in the performance will be even greater."
"Hey! You don't want me to help you rehearse your nightmare, do you
I am very busy now. I need to go to the nearest city to find a hundred substitute audience members to ensure that there is no vacant seat during the official performance."
"Of course I know you're busy... Can you take me with you when you go to find an audience?"
"Ah? Looking for a replacement audience member, including you? Isn't this a pure waste of time?"
“No… my performance was scheduled for halftime.
It is precisely because the audience has just experienced an extremely shocking large-scale performance that they are likely to be immersed in the performance and unable to extricate themselves.
Since there were no performance requirements, I decided to just perform off the stage and put all my focus on the interaction.
As I said just now, there was too little time and I couldn't rehearse effectively. The only thing I could ensure was my own condition and make sure I could perform 100% on the spot.
Another thing is to try to get in touch with the audience before the performance, to assess the strength of the audience for the actual performance, and if possible, to get to know some of the people better.”
“Okay, you can come with me to screen the “substitute audience”, but according to the rules of the circus, our real body cannot leave, and we can only let the clone carry our consciousness to the surrounding cities.
Do you have such ability? "
As she spoke, Catherine pulled the factory's wire rope, and an unpolished living model fell to the ground.
Crunch! Crunch!
She inserted the octopus tentacle in her palm into the back of the model's head. The lifeless eyes immediately began to focus, hair began to grow on the bald head, and some realistic lines were carved on the face.
"A clone? I don't need one."
"You didn't understand, did you? The main body can't leave!"
“No… I mean I won’t go there myself.
Catherine, do you remember the audience I bought for my last performance? They have been completely educated by me, and the best one of them has been ordered to stay in the audience lounge of the circus. She will follow you to the surrounding cities and will follow you honestly throughout the journey.
After returning, they will share what they have seen and heard with me in the form of ‘knowledge’.”
"you… "
"It will be more efficient this way. I still need to ask Senior Jaen about some details about the performance room. I'll trouble you with this, Catherine. My students are at the exit and you will be able to see them when you go over."
"Since the dumplings are delicious, I'll help you this time!
But if I find any of your "students" doing anything that might disrupt my screening of the audience, or even give away the circus, I will kill them on the spot."
"good."
William gave her a hug and left.
Catherine, who was left alone in the factory, was very satisfied with the hug just now and worked more motivated.
"Humph~ With only one day to prepare, I want to see if you, William, are the genius that the boss said can show your talents to the world. Anyway, I can't do this kind of difficult request."
