Episode 23 (part 1) - The Boomerang Trap

Part 1 of episode 23, The Boomerang Trap features the return of Mobbing Karnifex.

As his human alter ego attempts to fool the old and rich Gertruda into donating a huge amount of money, his scheme is thwarted by her sexy secretary Pamela. 

But does a hot woman in lingerie holding a handgun enough to pose a threat to Karnifex?

And there is more lying in wait for Karnifex in the shadows: a sharply dressed man wearing a black mask-- that same Unseen guy who has been trying so many time to subdue the Karnifex curse to his own will.

But unlike his previous plans, this time the Unseen is carrying a weapon-- a whip that can force even Karnifex on his knees!

Karnifex Black

ENGLISH

Black and shiny like oil, the sleek and dexterous Karnifex Black rarely kills, as he prefers to toy with your mind, twisting your thoughts until you bring yourself to the ultimate end.

Will you just become completely crazy, or kill yourself? Will you murder your own family, or rape the woman you love?

Whatever happens, Karnifex Black will be watching, enjoying the show and preparing to take what's left for yourself.

It could be your life insurance, your now-rich and good-looking widow, your highly-expensive mansion, or even your sons. But it will all be because of your doing.

The human face of Karnifex Black is likewise insidious: a charmer and a player, his irresistible smile and intense glare seduce everyone into letting him into their lives.

And that's when he begins talking them into doing what's best...for him.

ITALIANO

 

Nero e lucido come petrolio, lo snello e agile Karnifex Nero uccide raramente, preferendo giocare con la tua mente, distorcendoti i pensieri finchè non ti porti alla rovina da solo.

Diverrai completamente pazzo, o ti ucciderai? Sterminerai la tua stessa famiglia, o violenterai la donna che ami?

Qualunque cosa accada, Karnifex Nero starà guardando, godendosi lo spettacolo e preparandosi a goderne i frutti.

Potrebbe esser la tua assicurazione sulla vita, la tua piacente e ricca vedova, la tua villa di lusso, o persino i tuoi figli. E tutto avverrà per causa tua.

Il volto umano di Karnifex Nero è altrettanti insidioso: un affascinante seduttore, il cui irresistibile sorriso e intenso sguardo seduce tutti e chiunque, lasciandolo entrare nella loro vita.

E da quel momento, Karnifex Black li convince con la sua suadente favella a fare ciò che è meglio... per lui.

Episode 8 - Voodoo (prologue)

Can you really quit being Karnifex? Or does the suit own your mind even if you abandon it somewhere?

In Voodoo (prologue), Giovanni has buried the Karnifex suit in a closet of his own house and went back to a fully civilian life.

But the Karnifex identity is like an infection (or an addiction) that keeps worming its way inside Giovanni's head: his memories constantly go back to the thrill of when he was Karnifex, and his minds makes up excuses after excuses to push him back to wearing the suit.

Unaware of how absurd those excuses are, Giovanni begins a new descent into the corruption of Karnifex, without even realizing what's happening to him.

After he gives up and embraces the temptation, will he be able to take the suit off once again? Or will the Giovanni identity be lost forever?
