Chatty Hollywood

However, no matter how amazing Cromwell's momentum is, after stumbling and NGing more than a dozen times, this plot about the real Voldemort is finally completed.

After announcing that work would be over for today and asking the cast and crew to evacuate, Charlotte herself stayed behind.

——Of course, there is Cromwell hiding aside.

and Alexis.

"Are you planning to set up a formation here?"

Alexis asked as she watched Charlotte's movements.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded, and he looked at Cromwell aside,

"Jack the Ripper's whereabouts are so mysterious that even Oliver can't catch him. Naturally, I can't catch him directly - so I can only set a trap."

"So, this is a trap, set by you?"

Cromwell asked with interest.

"Yes."

Charlotte explained,

"Now that I know that Jack the Ripper plans to commit another crime near our "Hogwarts" in order to realize the forbidden dragon-slaying technique that extracts the power of the earth's veins, then I can set up a trap in a tit-for-tat manner——"

"When he really completes the forbidden dragon-slaying technique and begins to extract the power of the earth's veins, this trap will also be activated simultaneously."

"But what is the effect of this trap?"

Alexis asked.

"It's very simple. Seal the power of the people or ghosts who extract the earth's veins into this - it's actually like a tug of war."

"Originally, the forbidden dragon-slaying technique was to pull out the power in the earth veins together with the dragon inside. Now it is the other way around, using this magic circle to balance the effect of the forbidden dragon-slaying technique, and then using the power of the earth veins to pull the opponent in. .”

"But there are no real dragons in the earth here!"

Alexis was a little confused;

"Can Ms. Farmer's power alone achieve the effect you want?"

"I don't intend for Francis Farmer to preside over this circle."

Charlotte shook her head;

"Her condition is still unstable, so it's okay to face ordinary people. It's very dangerous for her to do this kind of magic confrontation."

"Then you plan to-"

"I'm going to use this!"

Charlotte took out a crystal clear blood-red gem from a hidden pocket and displayed it in front of Cromwell and Alexis.

The two ghosts were startled for a moment.

The reason is simple. Although this gem appears to be solid, it is actually a ball of pure magic energy.

The blood, gloom, mystery and violence are beyond imagination.

"Like a violent and bloody dragon, the power inside it."

Cromwell's tone was surprisingly solemn;

"Where did you get this gem!?"

"This is the remaining power after Dracula was destroyed!"

Charlotte explained.

"Dracula? Pretty much the same!"

Cromwell did not doubt Charlotte's explanation;

"It's normal for him to be as strong as a dragon. He is called the "Son of the Dragon"."

"But where did this stone come from? Even if you destroy Dracula!?"

Cromwell asked Charlotte. He didn't think she could condense the power of a ghost to this extent.

——Even if the opponent is proficient in spells.

Charlotte did not hide this. He looked at Cromwell and asked the question he had been planning for a long time——

"Oliver, do you know the Lord of Hell?"

"Is it really Him!?"

Cromwell sighed, and Charlotte sighed in her heart,

"As expected!"

After realizing that the Lord of Hell was the mysterious consciousness hidden in the Gate of Hell, Charlotte speculated whether there was any connection between the other party and Cromwell, the ancient Headless Horseman.

After all, the Headless Horseman can be said to be the messenger of death, while the Lord of Hell represents people's fear and imagination of death.

Charlotte didn't believe it anyway if there was no relationship between the two.

What's more,

When Charlotte resurrected Alexis, both of them appeared and interfered. Isn't the meaning obvious?

"Because the Headless Horseman is the messenger of death, He who represents death can forcefully wake me up."

Cromwell explained,

"But, He is too mysterious. I don't know His details. I only know that He has been trying to make more people turn into ghosts——"

"Especially those who are proficient in magic!"

As he said that, he glanced at Charlotte,

"You should have been targeted by Him."

"Well, that's true!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Although He condensed Dracula's power to me after Dracula's death, which made me aware of this possibility, but it's still chilling when it's really confirmed!"

"So, the Lord of Hell gave you this gem that compressed Dracula's power. Does he want you to absorb it and turn into a ghost?"

Alexis asked on the side.

Miss Valkyrie had heard Charlotte talk about the Lord of Hell, but she didn't know anything about this ruby.

This made her a little worried about Charlotte.

After all, through Charlotte and Cromwell's stories, Alexis has realized how powerful the Lord of Hell is.

——The common sense that "Charlotte can solve all problems" in the past does not seem to be so applicable here.

In contrast, Charlotte herself was not very worried;

"Since the Lord of Hell used this thing to lure me into becoming a ghost, he shouldn't take the initiative to deal with me in the short term!"

Mr. Director still looks confident.

"However, I still don't understand why He always wants others to turn into ghosts - does this do Him any good?"

Charlotte looked to the side at Cromwell.

"I don't have much contact with Him."

Cromwell said dullly,

"Although the Headless Horseman is called the messenger from hell, that is more on the level of rules - in fact, I will not follow the instructions from the Lord of Hell."

"But when I resurrected Alexis, you still came to cause trouble with her, right?"

Charlotte asked.

"The limits of the death rule, that is."

Cromwell said confidently,

"Everyone must obey it, both me and Him!"

"……All right!"

Charlotte nodded.

Although most of the information obtained from this conversation with Cromwell was expected, it was not without additional gains.

——At least, Charlotte got an inspiration.

However, although the threat of the Lord of Hell is powerful, it is not what is at hand after all.

At this moment, what Charlotte is most concerned about is Jack the Ripper——

He placed the red gem from Dracula on the ground, and the next moment, the gem disappeared.

"Now that the trap has been set, it just depends on whether Jack the Ripper will show up!"

Charlotte felt the power contained in the magic circle under her feet, with a sneer on her face.
