“Rise！”

With a soft drink that seemed to penetrate into the depths of her soul, Charlize slowly opened her eyes, and a mysterious man she had known for only a few days was standing in front of her.

- Charlotte Booth, are you a liar, or are you really an exorcist?

The blonde girl thought dizzily. Until now, she couldn't believe that everything that happened was true. It was like a magnificent dream, and it was as if she had walked through the closet to Susan in Narnia, who always refused to believe in all this fantasy, and on the other hand, she was fascinated by it and wanted to return. When Charlotte offered to help exorcise demons and catch ghosts, she, who should have been scared of being possessed by ghosts, even became excited.

A little girl's dream that should have been done in her childhood, but was interrupted by the nightmarish reality!

Saying this to himself, Charlize tried to get up from his chair, but found himself completely powerless. She felt soft all over, as if she was floating in the air, without a trace of strength or burden, and even her mood became lighter.

- Is this the effect of overdose of painkillers? I knew it was so comfortable, so I wouldn't go to the bar to drink! The hangover feels so bad!

Consciousness drifted and blurred, Charlize was immersed in the pleasure of floating, but suddenly found in horror that he had actually spoke-

"Where is this, sir, who are you, what do you want to do!?"

There was horror in her voice, just like Charlize felt now, and what frightened her even more was that this voice was her voice, and the mouth that spoke was also her mouth, but it was not she who opened her mouth and made a sound.

"What? Did you forget? Miss Alexis, this is the audition room, and you're auditioning right now!"

Charlotte's voice was serious and stern, with a hint of bitterness, really similar to the casting directors Charlize had met when he auditioned before.

"You said you were a little unwell, so you wanted to take a nap and let us put you to the end. It should be—O—K—now, right?"

Charlotte's voice showed obvious impatience, and the hint of "Charlize is wasting his time" was very clear, and even deliberately accentuated the question "OK" with a slight mockery.

- Accent !?

Hearing this signal that had been discussed with Charlotte before, Charlize's consciousness suddenly became clear, although it was still like floating and unable to control her body, she remembered Charlotte and her plan-

"When I summon Alexis, she will take over control of your body, and you will be in a subconscious-like state in which you can't control your body, but it's not entirely powerless - you can imagine!"

"Imagine, if I could, I wish none of this had happened now, it was just a nightmare!"

Charlize replied angrily, apparently thinking that Charlotte was making fun of her.

"No, not what you think. You recall, although that Alexis is attached to you, most of the time, it has no consciousness and no memory, and it can't control your body, but even so, as long as you have negative emotions and activate her, she will still interfere with your mood, why? Because at that time, just like your subconscious and imagination, you can't control it effectively, but it can act recklessly. Many ghosts can hallucinate people, essentially precisely because they can interfere with one's subconscious mind and imagination. So, now, on the other hand, when I let her control your body, are you in a ghost-like state? At this time, you can control your imagination and interfere with Alexis, who has already controlled your body, and make her hallucinate. I've laid a trap, and you must use your imagination to interfere with her and get her to walk into the trap on her own. ”

"But, but how do you do that? I've never been a ghost before!!"

"But you're an actor! Isn't an actor's performance often relying on this kind of imagination to construct an illusory personality and past for himself? Although it is closer to the experiential school, it is not difficult for a good actor to do, isn't it?"

“......”

Although he knew that his acting skills were almost equal to nothing, his own pride made Charlize unable to say his weak words, so now-

"Imagine!Sally!Imagine!!!Imagine that you are a destitute actress who is now auditioning for Director Cameron's "Spider-Man"! Imagine the eagerness and trepidation! Imagine the tense atmosphere in the house during the audition! Imagine the critical eyes of the casting directors! Imagine that this is not your bedroom, but the location of the audition! This is the audition room!!"

As he imagined it, Charlize suddenly realized that this was actually his life. Running around every day, for insignificant little roles, getting drunk after every failed audition, but looking forward to the next time—— this is his previous life, this is Alexis's life before his death! This is an audition!!

Yes, this is an audition, a very special audition! In the previous auditions, you could fail, you could get the role by taking off your clothes, you could not succeed, but this time, you can't fail, you can't take tricks, even if you want to take off your clothes, no one appreciates it. This is an audition arranged by Charlotte for herself, a special audition, an audition to face ghosts, and an audition to face her own heart!

It was a pure audition!

She faces countless beautiful girls who want to be Mary Jane, but she believes that she will succeed!

"Little bitches, may the strong win!"

As the tension faded, Charlize harnessed his imagination for the first time. In front of her eyes was no longer her own bedroom, but a soundproof audition room, the air filled with the smell of inferior perfume, which had been left by the little bitches who auditioned before her, and standing in front of her was no longer Charlotte, but a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, who was a little fat, the casting director. He was looking at himself impatiently, waiting for his answer.

"I can, sir!"

This is the answer Charlize wants to make, this is Charlize's voice, but it is not her who opens her mouth to speak, but Alexis.

No, that's her! That's what she's answering! She's not Charlize anymore, she's Alexis!

Although she was not under her control to speak, her imagination before speaking and the thoughts in her heart gradually converged with her. Like a room full of gas, her imagination is the flammable gas that diffuses the air, Charlotte, no, the casting director's inducement is the tiny but deadly electric spark, and this body, although she can't control it, her words, her actions, her mood, are just the last burning and exploding.

- It's an inevitability!

She's the same Alexis who has failed countless times, but still has to audition and dreams of success!

"I can start auditioning!"

She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly cheered for herself in her heart!

"That's good!"

The impatient look on the casting director's face seemed to ease a little, and he handed her a thin script,

"Press the show above!"

After that, the casting director stopped talking, and he sat back at the back of the table, his hands crossed on the table to support his chin, and he looked at her with burning eyes.

"Don't be afraid! I can do it!"

She silently cheered herself up in her heart and opened the script-

Please play Mary Jane, who has just been rescued by Spider-Man, is grateful and infatuated with him, and kisses him in the rain as he hangs upside down.

Kiss scene!?

She couldn't help but be stunned, but then she saw the corners of the casting director's mouth crooked, revealing a sneer.

"No one is working with you in this scene, because there are a lot of special effects shots in Spider-Man that need to be performed virtually in front of a green screen, so this is a test of your acting skills and your adaptability to green screen photography. Can't you do it?"

"Of course not!"

Isn't it a kiss scene? Although it is not common at auditions, she can still perform well!!

"Can I start now?"

The casting director didn't speak, just stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of please. It was as if a switch on her body had been turned on, and an electric current seemed to flow through her whole body—

She shuddered—the danger had made her adrenaline rush and tremble involuntarily—her eyes looked ahead, her eyes full of gratitude and fascination. There is obviously nothing there, but in her eyes, there is her hero, a mysterious and cool spider boy, she feels a good impression of herself from the other party, but she can't help but be attracted to the other party. She walked over tremblingly, couldn't help but hug the other person's head, and gently stroked the mysterious spider hood, she wanted to uncover it, but she didn't dare. Her face slowly moved closer to each other, close enough to feel each other's breathing. She could clearly feel that the other party was also trembling, trembling as much as herself, it was a sign of being attracted, they were attracted to each other, getting closer and closer......

Her brain couldn't think, and there was a fire of hormones and adrenaline burning in it, and her lips, her hands, her breath, and her heart were telling her to kiss him! Yes, don't talk, kiss him! She continued to tremble and lean in, and finally, her lips, which had been frozen by the rain air, kissed the other's equally cold lips, and between the two cold lips, the fiery breath communicated......
