The Last Gentleman

Chapter 572: Encounter

Views:

Sitting back on the silky velvet chair in the theater, William fully activated his epileptic brain and directly simulated the rehearsal effect of the current theater. He soon discovered various deficiencies.

Such a theater is more suitable for conventional performances and is still some distance away from a true horror show.

Moreover, in order to maximize the social phobia, the division of the seating area and the seats must be redesigned.

Take out the manuscript paper and pen and write down the shortcomings.

He couldn't stop writing, and the design draft papers beside William were piled up into a picture album.

“That’s all for today. I must not break my promise to Sister Natalie. This involves the subsequent construction and development of the theater. I can even ask the circus to help look after it when I take leave.

I just took the manuscript and gave it to the sisters so they can arrange for someone to handle it."

William decisively stood up and went to the kitchen, using his unique gold card to obtain the right to use the kitchen.

In order to perfectly recreate the red oil dumplings and also to see if my skills were rusty, I asked the chef for a piece of "the boss's scalp meat".

Looking at the time on his watch, William picked up the thermos and rushed back to the circus.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, the legs and feet in alternating black and white stockings directly crossed William's shoulders.

"William, you didn't come to see me after you came back, right? If I hadn't gone to borrow something from Uncle Jian today, I wouldn't have known that you were already in the circus."

"Catherine, you have grown a lot."

Through physical contact, William could feel that the nature of Catherine's nightmare had almost undergone a qualitative change.

"My potential is very high, okay? Otherwise, how could I become a deputy clown before I even complete my path? And don't change the subject, answer my question quickly."

"Although my boss no longer pursued my late return, he asked me to complete the preliminary construction of the theater in a short period of time. I am currently working with the acrobatic troupe and I am too busy to handle it."

"Is that so? Then I'll reluctantly trust you. If you need help, I can also ask the girls under my command to come and help. They are happy to help you."

Swish~ Catherine tore off a part of the scalp and revealed the female face squeezed under the scalp.

"Not for now. The assistance of the circus is enough for now. Besides, it would be difficult for your people to go to the center of the circus, right?"

Catherine's eyes widened. "Your temporary theater is set up in the center of the circus?"

"Yes, the area originally reserved for the fourth captain was temporarily given to me as the area for the theater construction."

"It seems that Mr. Rabbit really likes you... By the way, what are you holding? Although it is tightly covered, I can still smell the fragrance. Wait! Could it be the red oil dumplings that were displayed at the last magic feast? "

As she spoke, Catherine prepared to unscrew the lid of the pot.

Pah~ The result was naturally slapped away by William.

"If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you next time... This one is for Sister Natalie."

Hearing this, Catherine immediately became anxious, "Ah? What are you doing to those two old witches!"

"Mr. Rabbit is out for something, and they are currently taking over the circus and are very supportive of my work. How about you help me build a theater, Catherine, and I'll do one for you, too?"

"Ahem~ Wait till I become the chief clown, isn't this a simple thing? I'm still young, so I can't compare to those old witch sisters in some things.

I don’t care, I don’t care! Just give me one, just one!”

Catherine tried desperately to grab the lid of the pot, but no matter how she changed her movements or tried to hook the lid with her toes, William would block her.

"Once you open the lid, the whole pot of dumplings will be ruined. How about I make them for you tomorrow after tonight?"

"No, no! I must eat dumplings tonight."

Catherine's paranoia as a clown is fully on display.

It even displayed a nightmare posture that was both real and unreal. First, various octopus tentacles overflowed from its body surface, and there was even a demon-like phantom attached to its back, fighting for the thermos with all its might.

William glanced at his watch and found that it was completely too late.

As all kinds of nightmare substances attacked the lid of the pot, William suddenly released his right hand that was on the bottom of the pot and let the thermos fall on its own.

Taking advantage of Catherine's moment of daze,

William suddenly grabbed her arm and threw her over his shoulder perfectly... Bang! Catherine's body was smashed heavily to the ground three meters away, and gravel flew everywhere.

As he fell, William quickly squatted down and caught the thermos pot before it hit the ground.

This shoulder throw is a pure display of strength and skill, without using any other abilities.

Although it did not cause any substantial harm to Catherine, her body was shattered and her vertebrae were broken into two.

Crunch, crunch~Quickly connected and repaired under the influence of nightmare matter.

William also felt that he had gone a little too far, but part of the reason was that he had not yet fully adapted to his new body after the promotion and did not expect it to be so powerful.

Just as William was about to apologize,

A drop of inky and turbid tear slid down Catherine's cheek, and she sat on the ground with her legs spread out and cried. Although her cry was very low, William could hear it clearly.

The grievance, pain and sadness are all included in the crying.

The sight of the girl crying vaguely evoked some bad memories for William. William quickly shook his head to suppress the memories and focus on what was happening at hand.

"Well... I really didn't mean it... Catherine, how about you come with me to Rouguan? Just say we met on the road. Sister Natalie should be willing to take us in.

I made enough dumplings, so I'll give you my share."

When she heard this, the crying stopped abruptly.

"Okay, okay, it's agreed, give me all your dumplings! Yeah!"

Seeing Catherine stop crying and raise her right arm, William felt helpless. He didn't expect that as the lead actor, he would be deceived by her acting skills.

"Hey! What's that look in your eyes? I'm not really acting. I was really sad just now, okay? Amplifying your performance based on real emotions, isn't this the basic skill of acting? Hehe.

How about this, if there is a new deputy clown willing to replace me, I will come to your department and be the second in command?"

"No need, I already have someone chosen for my deputy."

"Ah? You hired someone so quickly... Never mind~ Let's go! I can't wait to eat."

Rouguan

As the department with the largest number of employees in the entire circus, the entire Rouge Hall also occupies the largest area, even larger than the two leaders, Mr. Rabbit and Mosander, combined.

The style is like an art school, with student dormitories, playgrounds and a large teaching building (Rouguan).

As the two walked along the playground toward the Rouguan building, they felt at least tens of thousands of gazes coming from the surrounding dormitory buildings, and each dormitory was packed with hundreds of people.

As William knocked on the door of the Rouge Hall, sister Natalie, dressed in bodysuits, opened the door with her extra legs.

The smile on his face disappeared immediately when he saw Catherine.

"What are you doing here? I don't need a clown to liven up the atmosphere here."

"We are all deputies, isn't it normal to visit each other? Besides, it was William who asked me to come."

"William..."

When Natalie looked up, she saw helplessness in William's eyes.

"Let Catherine eat with you. She helped me a lot before I became the chief. I just happened to meet her on the road and she came along. I cooked enough dumplings, which should be enough for the two of you."

"Hmm..." Natalie recalled that when she first met William during the trial run, it was Catherine who helped cheat and distribute nightmare cookies to the audience. "Okay, Catherine, you better be honest and don't mess around like Art."

"Don't worry, I'm well-educated."

The two women could never see eye to eye and always felt like they might fight at any moment.

However, as William placed the thermos pot on the table and opened the lid to feel the cooked dumplings, the conflict was completely resolved at that moment.
