"To put it simply, the moment I shouted 'Cut', I made everyone on the set have a dream at the same time!"

After the filming of the location was completed, on the way back to Los Angeles, Charlotte was free to explain to Charlize in detail what had happened before.

"After that, whether it was opening the gates of hell or catching the nightmare, it was actually done in that dream. ”

"In a dream?"

Although he was used to seeing the weirdness of Charlotte's spells, this incident still made Charlize a little unable to come back to his senses,

"Is it between two cuts?"

At that time, the girl felt that there would be two "Cuts" that were a bit wrong, especially the latter one, which always felt like an echo.

"Sally, you're right!"

Charlotte nodded, confirming the girl's guess,

"Under normal circumstances, controlling a large group of people to enter a dream at the same time is almost impossible with my current mana, but "Cut" is an exception-"

"Because the film and television practitioners on the set have long been accustomed to this voice, right?"

"yes! For those of us in the industry, "Cut" is simply a reflex command!"

Charlotte shrugged,

"I had deliberately hypnotized everyone slightly – to instantly fall asleep when I shouted "Cut" in a special tone. ”

"So, what you make everyone fall asleep at the same time is not magic, but hypnosis, right?"

Hearing this result, Charlize was a little disappointed. Soon, however, another question came to her mind,

"But what about Alexis and Raven, as ghosts, they shouldn't be affected by your hypnosis, right?"

"They're not going to be affected, but—"

Charlotte sighed,

"Sally, do you think I still need hypnosis for the two ghosts who have signed a contract with me?"

“......”

- Well, I forgot how cunning you are!

The girl glared at Charlotte with a hateful look, and then asked:

"But even if you manage to pull everyone into a dream, and you set the dream in advance so that everyone can't move. But why doesn't anyone else remember it when it's over?"

"Because I've mastered the ability to erase the memories of ordinary people's dreams before!"

Charlotte looked at Charlize amusedly,

"I remember saying that before, right?"

"Definitely. ”

Remembering what Charlotte had told herself about clearing Gwyneth Paltrow's nightmares, Charlize nodded.

"Compared with the memory of reality, the memory of dreams is blurry, and it is much easier to clear it. What's more—"

Charlotte tapped her temple with her fingers,

"The time of that dream was very short, but in reality, it was just a moment. Even if I completely clear it, people won't feel a blank in their memory, at most they will feel like they are stunned for a moment. ”

“...... It seems like that's really the case. ”

Seeing Charlotte's impeccable answer, Charlize no longer dwelled on this question, but recalled the scene in the dream-

"Speaking of which, is it still useful to open the gates of hell in a dream?"

"It's a little bit of a good thing!"

Charlotte scratched her head,

"It doesn't really send ghosts to hell, but if you don't get sucked in, it's still terrifying from the outside of the gate. ”

"Isn't it scary?"

Thinking of how he felt before, Charlize nodded,

"That's true. But you must be doing this to deceive people, right?"

The girl wrinkled her nose cutely,

"Tell me, who the hell did you lie to this time?"

"This ......"

Charlotte didn't know what to say about Charlize's reaction.

After a long time, he sighed and said,

"This time, I didn't deceive "people", I deceived ghosts!"

"Rivan!?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"As I said before, in order to become a Headless Horseman, he must pass through the Gate of Life and Death. However, this crossing is not magical, but psychological. ”

"You mean—"

"As long as he thinks that he has passed through the door of life and death, he has really passed through the door of life and death. ”

Charlotte's tone smelled of a magic stick,

"The transformation of the ghost is a very idealistic thing, but it is not like a game, just complete a specific task - if Rivan wants to become a headless horseman, he must become a headless horseman himself. ”

"So, what you did and said before was actually inducing him?"

Charlize suddenly realized.

"That's right. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"Ruifan's original will to exist is not strong, if I really open the gates of hell in the real world, then he will definitely be swallowed up at once and completely dissipated. ”

"In the dream world, I can prepare in advance and take the initiative to induce him to complete the transformation. Plus I told him before that if you become a Headless Horseman, you can return from the underworld—"

“...... Well, you succeeded. ”

Charlize didn't know what to say about his boyfriend's cunning and cunning.

"But for Ruifan, who finally mustered up the courage to live, are you too cruel like this?"

"Cruel?"

Charlotte scoffed at this statement,

"Although I always say that ghosts should disappear, you know, how many people die in the hope of turning into ghosts and continuing to survive?"

There was a rare hint of anger in his voice,

"And what is he not satisfied with when Rivan can die as a ghost and remain in the world just because of his nightmare?"

"This ......"

Charlize suddenly realized that she seemed to have touched something secret in Charlotte's heart.

But before she could think about what to say, Charlotte returned to normal,

"Actually, when Raven gets used to the Headless Horseman's powers, he'll thank me. ”

"Maybe!"

Charlize, who sensed that something was wrong with the problem, did not continue to dwell on the issue, but asked about the nightmare.

"But even if you can turn Raven into a Headless Horseman just by dreaming, the process of catching the nightmare is too easy, right?"

"Is it easy? maybe!"

Charlotte shrugged,

"Like I said before, Nightmare is not a powerful monster, it is just hiding in a dream, and it is not easy to catch. But if you meet a headless horseman who can control it, you can meet a nemesis. ”

"I see!"

Charlize nodded,

"The last cloud of black smoke you swallowed was a nightmare, right?"

"Part of the nightmare, I should say. ”

Charlotte explains,

"This nightmare is lodged in the dream shared by Depp and Winona. I grabbed most of its power through this trap, but Winona still had some remnants of it. ”

"Remnants, so Winona Ryder still can't wake up?"

"Not really. ”

Charlotte shook her head,

"That little bit of residual power doesn't have much of an impact. What's more, I also temporarily attached Rivan, who has become a headless horseman, to Depp's body, and he will help suppress the remnants of the nightmare's power. ”

"So Winona will wake up soon?"

Charlotte nodded.

"So-"

Charlize stared at the man in front of him seriously, and finally asked the question he really cared about,

"Charlotte, can you tell me what you were worried about at that time?"
