Chatty Hollywood

"Charlotte, you can't hide this from me anymore."

Charlize spoke in a very calm tone,

"Did you know? There is actually a little desire in the way you look at me - I can feel it."

Seeing what the man in front of her wanted to say, the girl shook her finger and stopped him.

"I don't hate your desire for me, but I also know that when you are nervous or particularly serious, you will completely restrain your desire. At that time-"

Charlize pointed to Charlotte's eyes,

"Your eyes are exceptionally clear - and what scares me most is that look, because it means danger."

"is that so?"

Charlotte couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The longer he spends time with the girl, the less he knows that he can't deceive her. But the reason for the exposure turned out to be this, which Charlotte did not expect.

“Women’s intuition is so terrible!”

"So, my guess is true?"

Charlize's brows also frowned,

"Charlotte, what are you hiding from me?"

"this……"

Charlotte wanted to scratch her head in distress, but finally gave up.

"Actually, there's only one thing I'm hiding from you."

Charlotte reached out to Charlize and rolled up the cuff of her right hand——

"What's this?"

On Charlotte's forearm near her wrist, there were three red marks that looked like fingerprints.

"This is a warning!"

Charlotte said to Charlize solemnly.

"warn?"

"A warning from the gates of hell!"

Charlotte explained,

"Actually, when I opened the Hell Gate in Vians Valley, I noticed that there didn't seem to be nothingness inside the Hell Gate. There was consciousness inside."

"You mean..."

- When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Charlize covered her mouth in shock.

"You could call Him Death or something."

Charlotte nodded,

"Of course, that may just be a projection of the rules of Hell Gate. However, as for things that violate the rules..."

Charlotte didn't say it, but Charlize also understood what he meant,

"You broke the rules when you pulled Ruifan out of the gate of hell? Even if it was just in a dream!?"

"Yes! The ghost who entered that door shouldn't come back."

Charlotte nodded,

"I had been worried that operating in the Gates of Hell would anger that consciousness - and that's exactly what happened."

"These three red marks?"

"It was left behind when I pulled Ruifan out of the gate of hell in the dream."

Charlotte's expression was a little heavy,

"The matter of "resurrecting" Alexis may be more complicated than I thought..."

**********

——Sally, I might as well not be "resurrected" at all!

Back at her residence in Beverly Hills, Alexis suddenly said to Charlize in her mind while lying in bed at night.

"Didn't Charlotte say he could solve that problem?"

Charlize tried to comfort the companion who shared the same body with her, but——

——Aren't you worried about him?

Facing Alexis' question, Charlize couldn't refute.

Of course she's worried!

Although later on, Charlotte repeatedly said that the mysterious consciousness in the Gate of Hell was not that scary, the girl was still very worried when faced with such a strange existence.

Obviously, unlike the ghosts that Charlotte had eliminated before, this mysterious existence was completely unknown to Charlotte.

The unknown represents fear and even danger.

——I don’t want him to be in danger!

Now, even though she is still afraid of getting too close, Charlize has figured out her heart.

but--

"I don't know why, but I always feel that even if there is a huge problem, Charlotte can solve it."

Although there was no reason, the girl's tone was very confident.

——Okay, girl, I know you are in love!

Alexis sighed in Charlize's mind and stopped talking.

And Charlize was lying on the bed, gradually falling into a deep sleep, while thinking of another question——

How did Charlotte swallow the nightmare? And when he kissed himself later, he injected something into his body...

**********

"That's part of the nightmare I tamed."

Sitting on the beach in Santa Monica, blowing the slightly salty sea breeze, Charlotte suddenly said to Charlize.

——No, what was sudden was not what he said to me, but——

"Why did I suddenly appear on the beach in Santa Monica!? I obviously just fell asleep at home!?"

"Hey, Sally, are you already so sensitive to weaving dreams?"

Charlotte looked a little surprised;

"But yes, you have also weaved dreams for Alexis before... What a pity, I still want to take you to have a magnificent dream!"

"So, this is a dream?"

Charlize looked around in disbelief——

The sun, the waves, the beach, everything is so real. The girl's exposed skin can even feel the texture of the sea breeze.

——Wait, Guolu! ?

Only then did Charlize realize that what she was wearing now was very much in line with the setting of a sunny beach——

Bikini!

Looking at the swimsuit on her body that could not be described as "pocket-sized", Charlize felt that if this was really a dream, then Charlotte who brought her into the dream must have evil intentions.

"Don't look at me like that! Santa Monica Beach was the first shared dreamscape I constructed."

Charlotte shrugged.

"In order to make it feel the same as the real world, it took me half a night to make it - wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't wear a swimsuit?"

"……All right!"

Charlize nodded and reluctantly accepted Charlotte's statement.

"But it's not like the real Santa Monica beach, there aren't that many people."

"It's like a private beach, isn't it?"

Charlotte pointed with her hand,

"This is our world for two!"

...Well, as a dreamland with only two living people, Charlotte and Charlize, this world does deserve the description of "two people's world".

Of course, it’s not like Charlize doesn’t understand what a pun is.

The girl's face turned a little red,

"You said before, "Our dreams are also connected together," were you referring to the current situation?"

Charlize looked around, letting the gentle sea breeze blow her golden hair,

"Will every dream we have in the future be together?"

"If only it were that easy!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"The nightmare is not that powerful. In fact, if this nightmare had not had the ability to penetrate the dreams of two people by coincidence, I would not have been able to construct this world with its power."

Facing the girl's suspicious eyes, the man shrugged.

"Even when the nightmare is at its most powerful, Depp and Winona's dreams are not synchronized all the time. What about the nightmare that I forcibly tamed after I swallowed it?"

Charlotte stretched out her hands and made a gesture of embracing the world,

"This is actually the dream I built—my world!"
