Chatty Hollywood

"So, your full name is Charlize!? Charlize Theron!!?"

Looking at the arrears statement in her hand, Charlotte couldn't help but feel like she was in a trough.

"Yeah, don't you have to write your full name on the arrears statement? Is there any problem?"

Sally, no, Charlize Theron couldn't understand Charlotte's surprise.

"That Sally is—"

"Short name!"

Charlize rolled her eyes.

"……All right."

It feels like going to Taobao to buy a pack of toilet paper, only to find that the store’s ID card photo is amazing, especially like an alien—Charlotte does know that there will be an actress named Charlize Theron in Hollywood in the future, But because I haven't seen the other party's movie, I really don't know what she looks like. Therefore, he couldn't be sure whether the "Charlize" in front of him was the same one.

——In short, do business first!

"let us start!"

Stuffing the arrears statement, which might be signed by a future big star, into her pocket, Charlotte's face immediately became serious. Except for the lack of a sexy beard, she had the demeanor of the exorcist master Van Helsing. However, in his heart, apart from the little sense of shit that still exists, he couldn't help but want to laugh——

With Sally, no, it's not actually his purpose to collect money from Charlize. Even if she really will become a big star in the future, this girl is just a secondary actress who has not yet made her mark. Even if she really wants to scrape money, how much can she snag from her! ? Charlotte asked her to pay, but it only continued to deepen her trust in herself in the opposite direction.

People are weird sometimes. When he doesn’t believe you, no matter what you do for him, he will be worried that you want to cheat him out of money, and will be skeptical of your words; but after he believes in you, if you don’t ask him for money, he will be skeptical instead, because He is worried that if you don't want money, you may ask for something more precious.

Charlotte is no stranger to people with this mindset. When the old ghost taught him spells, he once asked him to set up a stall at the entrance of the hospital. The target was those middle-aged men who had just come out of the hospital with blue faces and some sighs. "The brand...

"Isn't there anything you ask for?"

At that time, he thought it was the old ghost who made a typo, but he was mercilessly despised by the other party:

"Fool! People are crazy these days. If you put up a sign that you are responsive, all fools will know that you are trying to cheat money. Who will care about you?"

"However, if you write what you ask for, maybe others will think it's a mistake and treat me as illiterate?"

"Being ridiculed as illiterate is better than being completely unwilling to talk to you. To deceive people, the first priority is to attract people's attention and talk to them."

"But why should I lie? There are real spells..."

"Can you use it?"

The old ghost has a face full of hatred that iron cannot be made into steel,

"Besides, do you think you can deal with those monsters and ghosts just by suppressing them with spells?"

"Is not it?"

At that time, Charlotte had just started learning spells from the old ghost, too young too simple.

"Of course not!"

The old devil is about to explode - this is not a description. Because it is a ghost and has no entity, when the old ghost gets angry, the gaseous body will literally expand and explode. Of course, it can be recovered immediately afterwards without any adverse effects—according to the old ghost, the description of "exploding with anger" was created after someone saw the ghost's reaction with his own eyes.

"You know spells, but others can't? When it comes time to use spells, your opponents are probably monsters or ghosts. They are born with spells, and you can spell spells against them!?"

"Didn't it say that people cultivate faster than demons and ghosts?"

Charlotte muttered unconvinced,

Unexpectedly, when the old ghost heard it, it really exploded with a "bang", and the blast wave directly knocked him over.

"Where did you hear that idiot saying?"

The old ghosts quickly gathered together and continued to reprimand their apprentices.

"Net, online novels."

"Do you know why in the fairy tales of the past, those beautiful female ghosts and monsters like to marry poor scholars?"

"Why, why?"

"Because those stories were originally used by poor scholars for their own enjoyment! Your statement is the same. In this age of desolation, you humans have difficulty even learning spells. How can you practice faster than ghosts and monsters who are born with spells?" !?"

The old ghost sneered,

"Humans are stronger than beasts, never because of their physical strength; similarly, what humans can subdue ghosts and monsters does not rely on spells. Magic is just a means, and what really plays a decisive role here—"

He pointed to Charlotte's head,

"Ghosts don't have a body, so naturally they don't have brains; monsters are born with insufficient brains, and even old monsters are only at the same level as normal people. They are very easy to fall for human deceit and deceit. Actually In fact, since ancient times, when humans catch ghosts and exorcise demons, they have always used tricks and abductions. If you don’t believe me, think about how Song Dingbo catches ghosts? Although many of the legends in the past are from sour literati Congratulations, but the content is not entirely fabricated."

"It turned out to be like this..."

The old ghost's statement did disillusion Charlotte's longing for spells, but he was not the kind of middle school boy who believed that power was everything. He wanted to learn spells more out of pure interest, so he quickly recovered. come over. Even, because of what the old ghost said, he became more interested in this weird spell.

"So, you asked me to set up a stall near the hospital just to learn how to deceive people?"

"That's right! If you can deceive people, you can also deceive demons and goblins. Only after you have learned spells can you have a chance to cast them."

Seeing that Charlotte was enlightened, the old ghost's attitude softened, and he even seemed to be persuasive.

"The reason why middle-aged men are chosen is because men are always dissatisfied with their own abilities. This situation is more common when people reach middle age and their physical functions decline. Even if he has no physical problems, out of pursuit of better He will also subconsciously approve of his desire. In addition, the people who came out of the hospital have no troubles with headaches and brain fever. You just need to use this to talk to him, and then..."

Under the guidance of the old ghost, Charlotte quickly grasped the essence of playing hard to get, and even became a "master" in some people's mouths, although this "master" was difficult to use even a single spell at that time...

"It was still too young at that time!"

Recovering from the past, Charlotte couldn't help lamenting that time is a butcher's knife, which turned him into a master of deception who had struggled to lie at the beginning. But looking at the victim in front of him, he couldn't help becoming serious again——

"The purpose of deceiving people is to gain trust, so that I can cast spells better-although it is ironic, but now, I can finally cast spells for real!"

Not forgetting his original intention, he felt a little bit emotional in his heart. Of course, the most important thing now is to further win the trust of the girl in front of him who is haunted by the ghost, so that he can use the following methods. For this reason, he decided to reveal more things to the girl——

"When you committed suicide last time, I actually noticed your problem, but I couldn't confirm it. I wanted to follow you to confirm it, but I didn't expect to catch up with it...the result——"

He pointed to his head that was still stuck to the gauze, and seeing Charlize smile a little embarrassedly, he continued,

"However, through this, I have also confirmed that you are indeed haunted by a grieving ghost, so as soon as I recovered from the short-term amnesia caused by the concussion, I immediately told you about it..."

Of course, this is all false, Charlotte said this just to further win the girl's trust. He hadn't transmigrated into the current body at that time, so how could he know what the previous body was thinking. However, a man who followed a beautiful drunk girl in the middle of the night always felt like he had no good intentions. Fortunately, he made the right choice in the end, and this is how Charlotte is now.

"...Later, because you didn't want to believe it, I had no choice but to trick you into drinking the drug and directly talking to the grieving ghost who was pestering you. That's why the video you saw came about."

"This is unbelievable!"

Charlize clutched her forehead and seemed to have a headache,

"But why? Why did your so-called resentful ghost entangle me?"

"Romeo, why are you Romeo?"

Charlotte unscrupulously quoted Shakespeare's famous tragedies, but was glared at by Charlize, so she had to continue,

"Ghosts haunt people often without any reason. But when it comes to you this time, there are indeed some reasons."

Having said that, Charlotte paused for a moment, trying to find a suitable example to make an analogy to Charlize who didn't know much about gods and ghosts.

"Have you ever heard of water ghosts?"

"Water ghost? Is it the kind of ghost that is said to exist underwater and will grab the feet of swimmers and drag them to the bottom to drown?"

Water ghosts are a relatively common existence in ghost stories in the East and the West, and Charlize, as Charlotte expected, has some understanding of this, which allows him to take the opportunity to go on:

"Although many people think that water ghosts are the product of people's panic when their feet get entangled in water plants while swimming, but in fact such ghosts do exist. This kind of ghost is essentially the same as the grudge ghost that is haunting you now. Same thing."

"Same? Does it mean that they are all the same and cause people to die?"

"That counts!"

Charlotte nodded,

"But the biggest thing in common is that these two kinds of ghosts are constantly repeating the moment of their own death - on someone else's body!"

"The original water ghost may indeed have been entangled in water plants and drowned. Therefore, it repeated this way of death on other people. Even if many people encounter real water ghosts, as long as they can escape, they will often subconsciously That’s why I think it’s aquatic plants—they imitate aquatic plants too much.”

"In the past, what people thought to be water ghosts were actually aquatic plants, but after the development of science, everyone believed that they were just aquatic plants, but you told me that they might really be water ghosts? It's not the aquatic plants that make people mistake them for water ghosts, but The water ghost intentionally makes people misunderstand that it is a water plant..."

Charlize muttered to herself, feeling that her brain was not enough. Common sense and three views were gradually broken by the weird explanation in Charlotte's mouth, which made her very uncomfortable, as if she suddenly discovered that the sun is black, and the angel's wings are actually bat wings, and there are roots growing behind her buttocks. The same as the tail of the triangle.

"According to what you said, the reason why the grieving ghost who entangled me bewitched me to commit suicide when I was drunk was actually because she herself died like that in the first place?"

"Probably."

Charlotte nodded, as if she approved of Charlize's reasoning,

"I suspect that grieving ghost named Alexis, she not only committed suicide, but also very likely, like you, jumped off that pedestrian bridge and fell to her death after being drunk!"

***********The following is the author's nonsense************

In fact, Sally is Theron, which has been implied or even explicitly stated in the previous chapters, including the cider house, the child in the cornfield 3 (theron made soy sauce in it) and so on. Readers who are more familiar with this aspect may have already seen it!
