The final decision on the distribution of the seven Abyss Ascaris was made by President Bourne, who will send them to branches outside the city in special packages. In the near future, an announcement will be issued throughout the company to select external personnel suitable for the Abyss Ascaris.
Since the coming of the abyss caused a huge stir in Lupu, President Bourne had to cooperate with the investigation in the next few days and his sleep time had to be relatively shorter.
But he still took half an hour to meet William alone.
"Half a month really goes by quickly. When you return to the circus, remember the task I entrusted you with. Try to get that special amoeba to come to the headquarters to meet you. I will treat him well."
"good."
"In the end, I won't say anything more. I'll launch a general attack on those blood people as soon as possible."
"Of course, then I won't bother you, Mr. Bourne. If Reagan stays here, he should be able to help you a lot."
After saying goodbye to President Bourne, William took the elevator to the lobby, where Miss Olenna, with her short hair, had been waiting for a long time.
"Teacher, are you leaving?"
"Well, the circus is under very strict control. You should stay at the headquarters and learn as much as you can. We will meet again in the future."
"Got it, teacher~ I will definitely sit in a higher position next time we meet."
"Studying is the first priority, status is not important, goodbye."
William patted Olena's shoulder gently and left the company gate... His steps became hurried the moment he stepped out of the gate. Today was the last day of his leave from the circus and he had to get back in time.
"William, are you in such a hurry? It seems the circus is very strict here."
Reagan leaned against the door with a special insect skin cigarette in his mouth.
"Yes, today is the last day of leave. When it comes to attendance, the circus is probably second only to the Monastery of Pain. It will be very troublesome if you are late. Reagan, how long do you plan to stay here?"
"For more than half a year, I have determined that the technology of the Black Ascaris Headquarters can help me with my mechanical ascension."
"Okay then... I don't have much time left, so I'll see you next time."
"By the way, William, when you are ready to formally attack the Blood People, remember to call me along. I will have almost completed my Ascension by then, so I can use the Blood People to test the strength of my Ascension."
"good."
The former friends hugged each other and said goodbye formally. Philin, who was behind Reagan, also appeared through electromagnetic waves, smiled and waved goodbye.
William followed his intuition as the lead actor and boarded a black worm train heading to a remote area of the Old World.
This time William did not request any massage service. Instead, he rested alone in a carriage, took off his clothes, and slid his fingers evenly around his abdomen.
“I didn’t expect to use up all my vacation time at the Blackworm Company. At first, I was planning to ask the Duke to appraise the treasure and pay off the debt at the same time… Never mind~ The Chamber of Commerce has a full year to pay back the money anyway.
This unexpected bonus was so great that I actually developed my own Abyssal Syndrome.
Although this disease that combines parasites, the stars, and the abyss is not aggressive, its functionality and mobility are almost maximized. Even a Hallownest chloranth like Mr. Bourne cannot detect my existence. This ability can be used in different situations, not limited to escape, combat, and even... travel."
Thinking of this, William suddenly stood up from his seat and directly activated the "Abyss Parasitism" he had just learned.
He crawled into the abyss of his own belly and disappeared into the carriage.
If the view is switched to William's first-person perspective, he himself seems to have transformed into a pitch-black roundworm, crawling through the soft abyss passage, heading towards the depths of the spatial plane.
A zone of 'subspace' that few people can reach.
By relying on the connection with the circus and crawling forward in the "deep space", the distance of hundreds of kilometers was greatly shortened, and an incredible thing happened.
As William's connection with the circus grew stronger,
In his field of vision, there actually appeared a dark tent floating in the deep space. It was a "circus tent" woven with the boss's black hair and possessing spatial characteristics.
"What! I actually found the circus hidden deep in space... This!"
When William discovered the circus tent, the tent discovered him.
A huge eye on the surface of the black-haired tent suddenly widened and stared at him, until it confirmed that William was the lead actor and then slowly closed it again.
Hiss~ Strands of black hair shot out from the surface of the tent, entangled William who was a hundred meters away, and directly pulled him into it.
Buzz!
Passing through the tent, he landed in an underground passage filled with messy black hair. In front of William's eyes was a curtain of black hair, and an endless breath of fear came from the opposite side.
"Boss, I'm back!"
"The way you came back is quite special... You mastered this ability in just one month and were able to find the tent deep in the subspace."
"This is a special skill I just learned today. The reason I was able to find the circus was mainly due to my status as the chief. Without this sense, even if I could swim in deep space, it would be useless. It would be no different from finding a needle in a haystack."
"Being able to freely travel to the subspace without any damage to the individual, this is not something that can be described by the word 'skill'... Is it related to the Tenth Abyss? Ahem~ Anyway, it's well done. This way, I will be able to master the circus tent faster in the future.
So, you went back to the human side to solve the problem of the blood people. How was it going? How many dirty blood people did you kill?"
"We were lucky enough to kill Greedy Grid, one of the Seven Marquises."
As soon as these words were spoken, the curtain of hair was lifted.
The boss's true body, which was embedded in the deepest part, appeared. "Huh? You killed Grid! You shouldn't be able to kill the Seventh Marquis with your current level."
"Here's what happened..."
William also repeated the details of the incident.
"That's about it. Grid is the weakest one, and I caught him because of his greed. I guess I'm really lucky."
“No… The key to your being able to kill Grid was not his greed, nor was it luck.
Since the birth of the Old World, there has never been any patient who could kill the existence second only to the plague lord in the source epidemic area as soon as he completed the pathway.
Most of them are lucky, but still cannot do it, and dare not even think about it.
You are the first case.
And it seems to me that the key to your ability to kill Grid lies in yourself and the crescent moon. Is there any way for you to have a permanent union with the crescent moon patient?"
“This… there is no solution for now.
This time, I was able to perform such a deep fusion entirely thanks to Lorian's surgical support. At the same time, I also took advantage of his eagerness and lack of understanding of my true nature, so that I could barely take the initiative during the fusion.
I won't be so lucky next time, and Lorian is probably thinking about how to kill me right now."
“If you say so, there must be a way.
And I don't believe that after experiencing that sense of power, you will have no thoughts at all.
Everyone has greed, big or small. Too much greed will lead to destruction, too little greed will make people stagnate. Appropriate and timely greed can make us go further.
Remember the feeling when you killed Grid, and try to regain the power you had at that time."
"Got it, boss."
"Being able to kill a Seventh Marquis has far exceeded my expectations. The value of the vacation has been realized."
William took the opportunity to go further and said, "Well, not only did I kill Grid, I also used his head to declare war on the Blood People... Of course, I will wait until I get a long vacation again to deal with my personal affairs.
From now on, I will devote myself to the circus work."
Although William lowered his head, he could clearly feel that his boss was in a relatively happy state.
"During the month you were away, Nash managed the theater very well and it has passed the internal test. As long as you can achieve good results in the official performance, William, I will grant you leave to deal with the blood people."
"Thank you, boss."
"Make good use of your Abyssal characteristics. It will be very effective in dealing with the Blood People."
Farewell, boss.
William was in a good mood as he walked through the inner corridor of the circus, with the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
But at this moment,
A strong and evil aura suddenly emanated from the opposite corner. William subconsciously became alert, thinking that he would meet Art here by chance.
However,
What came out from the corner was a pair of slender legs in black and white stockings.
However, the clothing on the legs and feet changed from the familiar Gothic skirt to a more seductive, figure-enhancing leather tights, and there was even a special leather whip tied around the waist.
The double ponytails also became a single ponytail that fell on the back of the shoulder.
The face is painted with exaggerated black and white paint.
Not only that, but behind her followed a group of lifeless female models.
"Oh~ Isn't this Mr. William... You look very happy! The happy vacation is over, but remember to concentrate. If you don't focus on the performance, your position as the principal may be replaced."
"Katherine, are you okay?"
"Your eyesight is really getting worse. Don't you see that I'm in good shape? Stop chatting. I have to go back and prepare for the show and try to get a high score in the next performance."
Catherine didn't stop at all and strode directly past William.
The evil smell released from her body was mixed with the smell of dreams. If an ordinary person smelled a little bit of it, he would probably have nightmares for several months in a row, or even die in his dream.
