The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 634 - 632 Catherine’s Swimming Pool

Nash, covered in a sticky secretion and brandishing an exaggerated smile, waddled backward with his butt pushed out and bumped through the door to leave.

As the door closed, cutting off his eye contact with William,

Nash’s expression instantly returned to normal, even somewhat serious and strange, as his scattered eyes began to tremble at random.

It wasn’t because his performance in front of William was all an act,

but because he had received a task that he considered extremely difficult, many times harder than any secret mission he had ever undertaken as "J".

During his days doing dirty work for the circus, he occasionally dealt with some matters together with Art, and he knew very well how terrifying the chief clown could be.

Sometimes, during events of extremely high risk, the presence of Art alone could resolve them, without leaving behind a single trace of danger.

"The boss actually wants to investigate the assistant clown... But it’s true that Catherine has been acting oddly lately.

What a hassle, getting close to the Clown House is the only way to clearly understand this woman’s condition, just looking from outside isn’t enough to obtain any useful information.

If my cover is blown, even with my current identity, complete death might be inevitable. Of course, my death isn’t important, the problem is that the boss would get dragged into it.

Let me think, how should I do this to ensure there’s not the slightest mistake."

As Nash walked through the corridors of the theater, he pulled out an injection for activating the physical parasite and abruptly plunged it into the back of his head, injecting into the depths of his brain.

His whole body shuddered in response, and his brain swelled to twice its usual size.

Smack!

Nash suddenly slapped his swollen head, directly cracking the scalp open to reveal the active brain inside, balancing the internal pressure.

"That’s it! No matter how exceptional my disguise and acting skills are, sneaking into the Clown House and secretly monitoring Catherine’s life is absolutely impossible.

However, I seem to remember from a subordinate that the "Clown House" has been undergoing some major renovation project lately. With such a substantial change in Catherine’s behavior lately, it’s plausible that her factory is either undergoing or is set to undergo modifications... "

Nash immediately confirmed this through his connections within ’Poker Face’, indeed Catherine was having her factory extensively remodeled and expanded, especially one project that was extremely costly.

Following Catherine’s demands, the construction of a unique swimming pool filled with seawater.

They used a special spatial material to build the pool, allowing an ordinary-sized pool to achieve a beach-like effect, with some areas even capable of simulating a deep-sea environment.

Such a special structure would undoubtedly require some of the circus tent’s traits, and the cost was relatively high.

And the reason the circus approved, even allocating a large number of workers to create such a pool for Catherine, was because her last performance astonishingly ranked third overall.

Evening,

The group of ’Poker Faces’ responsible for the ’Deep Sea Pool’ project returned to their four-person dormitory to rest, and as they fell completely asleep, a gray-white, almost microscopic amoeba crept along the beds and into one person’s ear.

This amoeba was Nash in disguise, preparing to take control of this ’Poker Face’ through the brain, so that by the next day he could use this identity to head to the Clown House, lurking close to Catherine to gather information.

But unexpectedly,

As he approached the brain, he was immediately repelled by the octopus tentacles that grew on its surface.

This ’Poker Face’s’ entire brain was influenced by a nightmare, not to mention being filled with seawater, it was also covered in octopus tentacles... If he tried to parasitize forcefully, Catherine might notice.

Nash had no choice but to give up on this current target and crawl toward the ’Poker Face’ in the adjacent bed,

However, anyone involved in the swimming pool construction from the circus, whether the lower-level workers or the supervising ’Poker Faces’, they all suffered from the nightmare’s influence.

"Since when did Catherine become so cautious? Did she change this much in just a month? What a nuisance..."

Nash could only wait until the next morning when all the ’Poker Faces’ awoke and the influence of nightmares was at its lowest to attempt parasitism.

Not having time to absorb too many memories, he immediately followed the construction crew to the "Clown House".

Two factory-like buildings with distinct styles were situated here,

Among them, the colorful and painted Chief Clown House was in a state of lockdown, with iron chains hanging even from the main gate, and the air was full of floating human head balloons.

If anyone came here, those balloons would open their eyes to give a visual warning.

If someone still dared to approach the Chief Clown’s factory, the balloons would stick to them and explode, spreading an evil proliferation specifically targeting the head. Once an ordinary individual contracted it, the brain would proliferate wildly and abandon the physical body, transforming into an independent human head balloon.

In contrast, Catherine’s black and white factory had its door wide open, awaiting the workers’ entry,

And there were even several oddly shaped and twisted female mannequins standing at the entrance to welcome everyone’s arrival.

Some of the mannequins’ heads were cracked open, revealing brains woven from octopus tentacles, obviously Catherine’s creations; such mannequins had not been present in the previous Clown House.

Catherine wasn’t part of the welcoming lineup, and even peering into the factory through the gates did not reveal her whereabouts.

Stepping into the factory,

Nash spotted the expanded ’Deep Sea Pool’ at the end of the warehouse; from a distance, it looked nothing more than an ordinary indoor swimming pool measuring 50×50m.

But as he approached the pool,

the sound of ocean waves and tides reached his ears,

and the surrounding factory structure began to fade, while the pool started to take on a beach-like configuration, even with various shellfish strewn along the shoreline.

Looking up again, there were no more factory walls, only an endless sea,

and not only that,

there was a mermaid-like figure with a graceful figure swimming on the surface, sometimes surrounded by numerous octopus tentacles.

Sensing the arrival of others, the young woman began to move towards the shore.

Whoosh! A giant octopus limb suddenly leaped out of the water and slapped onto the shore, splashing copious amounts of water.

As the curtain of water fell,

the tentacle was nowhere to be seen, and in its place was a leg clad in black and white long stockings,

Catherine was now standing on the shore,

flicking her damp hair and removing the shellfish entangled within, then tying it into a ponytail with a rubber band.

Without her clown makeup, her ice-cold exquisite features made her look translucent as jade.

This spectacle couldn’t help but stun many onlookers, only Nash’s poker face under control showed no interest,

"Please take care of the final stability work of the pool~ Call me anytime if you need anything."

After uttering these polite words, Catherine took out her makeup box and started applying makeup while walking out of the factory... However, her path of departure happened to pass by the poker face inhabited by Nash.

The damp soles of her feet stopped beside the poker face.

Her moist hand gently rested on the shoulder,

drip drop~ The seawater falling from Catherine’s body had already formed a shallow puddle on the ground.

Suddenly,

she extended her long, sucker-structured tongue from her mouth and gently licked the poker face’s features, from cheek to earlobe, drawing out noticeable strands when separating.

"Hmm~ The taste is slightly different, Mr. Red Heart 4, are you not feeling well?"

"Cough~ It may be related to the time when I encountered an attack by a large fish in the sea zone; I’ve been somewhat afraid of the deep sea ever since. Now that we’re using real seawater for the pool, it’s no surprise that I have some stress response.

I’ll overcome it, thank you for your concern, Lady Catherine."

"A large fish? That’s quite dangerous... You’ve really had it tough."

Catherine left, stepping in her damp stockings, and as her ’pat pat pat’ footsteps faded away from the factory, Nash, controlling the physical body, prepared to work in the sea.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow suddenly descended from the top of the warehouse, it was Catherine, now in full clown makeup.

"Just to reconfirm, are you really alright?"

Nash, controlling the poker face, took a step back in fright, "Really, I’m fine."

"Then here~" Catherine spat out a piece of tentacle smoking black from her mouth, "Ah, open up! Eating this will block your discomfort with the deep sea."

"Okay."

He opened his mouth and swallowed it, and with the floating of numerous octopus tentacles up and down his body, Catherine finally left only after confirming there were no problems.

Parsite Nash lodged in the brain was frightened into secreting mucus, nearly exposing himself.
