Chapter 745: 743: Interview
Most people were still interested in transformation, as they had always lived in the Old World and had never seen anything beyond it.
However, the term transformation still sounded sowhat terrifying, and so people at the scene asked if they could see a sample in advance.
William directly tossed out a bright red cross borrowed from Lorrian.
When the cross was thrown at its highest point, its seemingly smooth surface imdiately beca uneven and covered with bumps, which then began to rapidly grow and weave into a nurse in mid-air.
The nurse landed steadily beside William and nodded to the crowd.
The Patients present imdiately sensed a distinctly different aura on the nurse, one that did not belong to the Old World, chaotic yet relatively stable in combination with the plague.
The Patients who had been discussing noisily,
whether they were deep-sea visitors who wanted to talk to Catherine,
or Chief Clowns about to head backstage, all stopped their chatter,
and began to observe the nurse.
Especially Art, who could feel the most distinct sense of chaos emanating from the nurse because he too harbored a similar chaos, albeit of a different kind.
Arts chaos stemd from the malicious proliferation of cancer cells, while the nurses chaos ca from deeper levels, seeming as if her bodys smallest unit was in utter disarray, as if born of chaos.
"William, it looks like your human identity has exposed you to many new things. Its a pity, I feel a connection to this kind of chaos, but if I participate in the performance, I cant get involved with such matters," Art said.
William, wearing the Abyss Mask, turned his head away, his middle finger slightly twitching as it obscured his eyes,
"Oh? Youre still here, Senior Art? Didnt I just ntion that this technology isnt suitable for Silver Circle Patients yet? You should focus on the performance. Blindly combining it could result in unimaginably bad situations.
How about this?
If Senior Art is willing to give his all in the Performance and refrains from deliberately sabotaging the final Performance Ive ticulously designed, whether or not you win the Best Actor award, I will personally take you to visit the Chaos Laboratory afterward."
Art looked puzzled, "William, theres a big contradiction in what youre saying. If I give it my all, your Theater, even this False Moon, might not withstand it, inevitably ruining your Performance."
William quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, didnt I add deliberately?
If, during the Performance, you feel that your life is in danger,
or sense an overwhelming challenge, please give it your all! In such a case, it wouldnt matter if the Theater or even the entire False Moon were destroyed, and might even add to the theatricality."
"It sounds like youre underestimating , William... Well, I really must see what you have prepared."
Had it been before, Art might have lost his temper right then due to Williams disrespect.
But after months of seclusion, Art seed much better at controlling his emotions, gently patting Williams shoulder before heading backstage.
With the nurses arrival, all contestants below the Silver Circle opted to head to the left transformation area, knowing their limits and not daring to compete with soone like Art on the sa stage.
Soon, only a few Silver Circle Patients remained at the intersection,
besides Assistant Clown Catherine, ten deep-sea visitors, and two Silver Circle Patients, one of whom was a local from Lu Pu, a participant and departnt head sent by the Redundant Intestine Company.
Bablo Zhi Chang,
his hair styled in a Mohawk and wearing a sausage-like red leather outfit, his fingers were most unique, resembling intestinal structures and seed to be stuffed with sothing.
Another Patient had just crossed into the Silver Circle and also wanted to try his luck.
Catherine formally t with the deep-sea visitors here. The brief conversation seed not very pleasant, almost escalating into a conflict,
William wearing the Abyss Mask imdiately stood between Catherine and Lia Roman,
"Calm down. Miss Catherine is currently an indispensable figure in our Circus. Please, if you wish to discuss deep-sea matters, wait until after the Performance. If trouble arises here..."
(o)v.el
William suddenly leaned forward, his face almost touching Lia, an Ancestor Primordial Body, "I might have to forcefully expel you from Yin Head."
"If you are not convinced, you can choose to challenge . As the chief actor of the circus, I am always ready to fight."
Behind him, Catherine also leaned forward, pressing her head against Williams arm in agreent, "Oh, William, dont be so harsh. Mom is just really worried about ! After all, I was her favorite, wasnt I?"
Her reverence for her mother in the Arc Sea had long since vanished.
Lia stared at the youth emitting an aura of the Abyss before her, considering the Duke behind this performance, she could only suppress her temper for the mont.
"You seem to have a good relationship with my eldest daughter? I can sll her scent on you."
"Catherine is the one who introduced
to the circus, we are quite familiar privately."
"How many descendants have you produced?"
"We are not that familiar... If you dont mind, I can take you backstage. The audition may take so ti."
"Daughters, let us go~" Lia walked alongside William, her steps moist, as her nine daughters followed behind.
At that mont, Lias mother recalled another issue, "By the way, Mr. William, you seed to have made a deal with Fish Origin in the human world before, helping him gather intelligence about the Silver Sea Domain. Is that right?"
"Wasnt the issue with the Silver Sea Domain resolved? Didnt we return the territorial rights to Fish Origin? We had urgent matters at the ti and left early. We thought there was no need to report back since everything was resolved."
"But... one of my daughters, the unattractive, balding Kexia, she was following you guys the whole ti to monitor the operation, but she ended up missing. Do you know where she is? And is the regent of the New Moon also within this False Moon called Yin Head? I have so issues Id like to discuss with him."
As she spoke, Lias tentacle-like tongue slithered out, slightly licking Williams neck in an attempt to taste the flavor of the moon, but alas, Yellow Skin had already filtered out the taste.
"So salty... Youve been sweating a lot recently, Mr. William."
"A good friend of mine just ca ho;
hes quite hot, which made
sweat a bit."
Catherine hurriedly ca forward upon hearing this, "Little Grape is back!"
"Yes~ I will cooperate with Little Grape to supervise the upcoming performance diligently. Make sure you dont break any rules."
"Ah, youre not participating? I was hoping to team up with you during the performance... Its really scary being alone," Catherine said, sowhat disappointed.
William adopted the posture of a ga host, "I may or may not participate, youll find out when the ti cos!"
"Okay, this is the backstage area. Everyone, please proceed in order to take my audition. Those who are not qualified, please go to the audience seats on your own, and dont be stubborn."
The audition was conducted one-on-one in a private booth.
The so-called audition was actually a verification of fear, conducted by William using social phobia to engage in various straightforward interactions.
"Ah!"
Every few minutes, a womans scream would emanate from the booth, reflexively fleeing and being eliminated.
Out of the nine daughters brought by Lias mother, seven were directly eliminated;
they blad themselves but were unwilling to stay alone with William, just thinking of the recent conversation made them dig holes in the ground with their toes.
When it was Catherines turn, the ground already had a hole deep enough to accommodate a person, indicating how awkward it was.
Tied in a high ponytail, Catherine stepped into the booth and first leaned forward to blow a kiss across the table to Williams profile,
"Thanks for helping
out, Mom is quite formidable~ Lets get started, and let
see how your phobia has progressed."
"You dont need to be verified, just go through the motions. The purpose of the audition is rely to ensure everyones capacity for fear. As a main mber of the circus team, youre automatically qualified.
The upcoming performance will involve so truly dangerous elents, be cautious and dont act tough."
Catherine stuck out her tongue, licking her lips, "Truly dangerous? In my eyes, the only real danger here is you, the boss... Tell , what kind of danger?"
William did not answer;
his hands slowly moved away from covering his face.
Catherine, who had been laughing and carefree, suddenly froze, "Your eyes!!"
"Yes~ thats the danger... The performance should prioritize surviving, dont die. We still need to rely on you, Catherine, to open the passage to the outside world, dont worry about my eyes, Im in too good of a condition now."
