Chapter 1035: 1033: Acrophobia
With a black cloth hood covering his head, William secretly pinched off a lump of Origin tumor from his backside when volunteering to go on stage, sticking it under the seat to continue releasing the actors’ "field," ensuring that Yi Chen and the others would not be exposed.
He ascended the stage once again, trembling legs quivering, repeatedly punching his own chest to muster courage.
When arriving in front of the limping, dejected clown, William asked with a trembling voice:
"If I survive, I can beco a Circus employee, right?"
The clown with a skull face nodded eagerly, hoping that the hard-won audience wouldn’t suddenly back out.
"Yes, yes~ I’m not lying, as long as you survive, you can co work at the [Clown House], and I will personally groom you whenever I have ti~ Of course, if you don’t have a clown’s talent, I can recomnd you to the Poker Face side."
"Thank you... if~ if I’m guessing correctly, after the Circus devours the entire World, shouldn’t the Audience undergo a large-scale screening?
If I can beco a mber of the Circus here in advance, I wouldn’t need to go through the final screening, right?"
The skeleton clown squinted slightly, staring at the stamring villager in front of him, "You’re very smart~ to figure this out.
It’s truly great, it’s been a long ti since encountering such a brainy audience. I hope you can survive.
Ah~ it’s also troubleso, if only ten people participate, it’s uncertain if anyone can endure to the end, even though it’s not a formal Performance, if the effect is bad, I’ll still get scolded by the boss.
Alright~ everyone, please make sure to follow my arrangents next, if soone doesn’t follow the Rule, I might get angry... don’t make
angry, there’s sothing wrong with my brain, once impulsive, it becos incredibly troubleso."
With these words,
The skeleton clown inserted his fingers into the Deep of his nostrils, retrieved a strange balloon-like brain mbrane from between his brain, and began to blow into it.
Unlike ordinary balloons,
The inflated brain mbrane actually evolved into a skyscraper nearly a hundred ters high, incredibly realistic.
"Alright~ everyone, please ascend to the top floor within five minutes, then queue to jump down, with intervals of 1~3 seconds between each."
William, along with nine others, quickly headed to the rooftop, touching the material of the building along the way, realizing it was truly reinforced concrete, not balloon rubber.
The participants arriving at the rooftop all carried Malice, for them, such a level Falling was nothing.
Strangely enough, when they stood on the edge of the rooftop looking down, an inexplicable sense of acrophobia arose in their hearts, fearing Falling from here.
Especially upon seeing the skeleton clown below, the fear of heights beca deeply entrenched.
At this mont,
Seeing the personnel arranged to jump off the building, the forr Assistant Clown Catherine suddenly rembered sothing,
She recalled over two years ago, when she and Art were in a place in the Old World called [Yu City]. This city made a deep impression on Catherine because the depression patients here had a very high clown Virus adaptation rate, with a city-wide infection Transformation rate of over 90%.
This person seed to be one of them but was hardly affected.
"Strange~ even if he’s truly from [Yu City], when William was laying out plans for Art back then, he should have killed or educated all clown virus infectors across the entire Old World. How could there be survivors? Even if there were survivors, Art as the virus’s Origin would surely sense and achieve transfer occupation.
Could it be that, at the ti, soone in Yu City erged unnoticed by both myself and Art, capable of suppressing the clown Virus and maintaining independence, feigning death after jumping off to deceive us.
If that’s the case, this person’s Talent is beyond question..."
...
The skeleton clown looked at the people above hesitating to jump, he could only spread his Arms and patiently persuade.
"Don’t be afraid~ as long as you jump down one by one, I will catch you steadily, I’ve never made a mistake.
You needn’t do anything throughout the process, just beco my Tool to assist in completing the Performance.
Rember, once the first person jumps, you must follow imdiately!"
The Malice on the rooftop, upon hearing these words, also heard the ticking sound of a chanical clock, as if they would imdiately face Death if they didn’t jump before the countdown ended.
Finally, the priest-like Malice suppressed Fear and jumped first.
Seeing soone jump, the remaining personnel seed to be injected with a shot of adrenaline, quickly following suit. But when the third person was due, he hesitated.
Because the first jumping priest was actually reverse-thrown upwards, even flying over the top of the skyscraper, headed towards the sinister Endless Circus’s ceiling.
The program displayed by the skeleton clown was precisely a basic "throwing ball."
Except the ball turned into people, and it was ten people in a Cycle, each person’s thrown height exceeded a hundred ters, showcasing his Arm Power to be truly astonishing.
While the third person hesitated, a muscular man resembling a boxer kicked him off, the Falling continued.
The most timid William naturally landed last, stepping on the rooftop edge and diving down.
During the jump, a genuine Fear was born in William’s heart.
’Oh? Acrophobia, and quite severe.’
As the Falling was about to touch the ground, the clown’s palm firmly caught William’s inverted head, forcefully tossing him! Crack~ the imnse Power directly resulted in a broken cervical vertebra.
At the sa ti, the clown’s apology echoed: "No... sorry~ next ti when landing, try not to let your head be below. If you survive the program, I’ll try my best to repair you."
Buzz!
William only felt a colossal force pushing him upwards, and this force wasn’t simply a human effort, there was also a gravitational sensation.
During the upward throw, others were Falling from high altitude;
clear in their Eyes were traces eroded by Fear.
William flew over the rooftop, reaching the Deep dark ceiling of the Circus Tent.
Upon reaching the peak, he vaguely saw several distinctive seats and the silhouettes of Circus key personnel in the darkness, as if returning ho.
Falling downward.
An even stronger acrophobia engulfed his entire body,
William trembled violently, losing control and collaborating with copious liquids Falling alongside him.
Yet the skeleton clown showed no disdain at all, steadily pulled William’s backside and tossed him into the air again, albeit the imnse Power also affected his sciatic nerve.
However, based on William’s Observation, his situation was still relatively favorable.
Others being treated as throwing balls encountered multiple fractures throughout their bodies and, under the effect of acrophobia, breathing difficulties, so even felt as if their souls were about to depart, unlikely to hold up for long.
Witnessing such high-difficulty throwing ball, the entire scene erupted with enthusiastic applause.
Catherine, seeing William being teased so, joined in applauding.
Ten minutes passed.
The skeleton clown ceased the throwing action, catching the Falling people while removing all Power, placing them on the ground in sequence.
Supposedly, ten people were lined up to bow with the clown to thank the Audience.
But most had already lost the ability to offer gratitude, even lacking a ’human’ form.
So transford into a ball of flesh, Eyes enlarged and turned gray,
so were paralyzed on the ground like sludge, having already been frightened to Death.
Others, having the brain face down multiple tis, after being tossed several tis, had their necks completely broken, leaving only the head on the ground.
William, however, stood upright with a twisted neck, pants drenched with foul-slling liquid, barely surviving.
The leading priest similarly survived but due to a broken spine and Fear infiltrating the body, he could only lay on the ground, repeatedly saying: "I want to survive~ I want to survive~"
