Chapter 282: The First Year of Dracula
However, things didn't turn out as Charlotte expected-
It's not that this incident has nothing to do with Keanu Reeves, but before Charlotte went to find the other party, the other party came over.
"I didn't expect to see living people who know magic in this era of the end of the law!?"
Standing in front of Charlotte and Charlize was Al Pacino.
- Charlotte hasn't met the old man much, but Charlize is now on the same crew as him, so she naturally knows the Oscar-winning actor.
The other party appeared in front of Charlotte shortly after he walked out of Charllotte's room, and behind him, Keanu Reeves, who was dumb-faced and unconscious like a wooden man.
In this case, Charlotte naturally does not think that Al Pacino in front of her is real.
"People who are proficient in magic exist in all eras, but ghosts do not appear in all times. β
Charlotte stared at "Al Pacino" in front of her with burning eyes,
"Look at this spell, you shouldn't be some nameless ghost, can you introduce yourself?"
"As a goblin, take the initiative to tell someone who knows how to tell your real name!?"
The other party stretched out his index finger and shook it,
"Although we ghosts don't have independent brains like living people, I won't be so "brainless"!"
Speaking of this, the other party raised his eyebrows,
"Just like you, Charlize Theron, you're not going to tell me who this exorcist is right now in your body, are you?"
"Seen?"
Charlotte wasn't surprised.
Since the other party was able to find that he was not controlled by the spell of his dream because of his movements, it was not surprising to find that he had descended directly into Charlize's body.
"You're not like the real Ar, you can 'smell women', do you?"
Charlotte looked down at the body of Charlize she was using now and teased.
The other shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.
This made Charlotte feel a little bored.
"Can you tell me what attracted you?"
Charlotte asked directly,
"Goblins don't show up for no reason, do they!?"
"Of course. β
"Al Pacino" nodded,
"We are different from living people, we don't have something that attracts us, and we don't move easily. β
"So what?"
"Vanity is undoubtedly my favorite original sin. β
"Al Pacino" said in a deep tone.
These words seemed to be headless and brainless, but Charlize in his subconscious heard it at once,
"This is John Milton played by Al, or the devil's line!"
She sighed in her mind,
"So, is the other party really the devil?"
"Not necessarily!"
Charlotte comforted Charlize in her mind before she said to "Al Pacino",
"Do you say this line to show that you were attracted to the movie "Devil's Advocate"?
"The original meaning. β
"Al Pacino" spread his hands,
"I'm not interested in the emotions that people trigger because of literary works, let alone an unfinished work. β
"Really?"
Charlotte is silent on the surface, but secretly her brain is flying.
There is no doubt that the ghost in front of him, who does not know his real name, is the most difficult opponent Charlotte has encountered so far.
The other party is not only powerful and proficient in spells, but the key point is that his mind is also very clear.
In addition, his words revealed that he knew that people would trigger various emotions because of movies and other literary works, and this emotion would accumulate magic and attract ghosts.
- This is beyond the cognitive abilities of most goblins.
Most of the goblins, including the evil gods Charlotte had dealt with before, were just instinctively attracted by the magic accumulated from the movie.
- Being able to understand and overcome the instinct of ordinary ghosts to be attracted to magic is enough to show the strength of the other party.
Rather than face this mysterious goblin with great self-control, Charlotte would rather deal with the dragons beneath Malcolm's Sanatorium.
- Although the other party is powerful, he is confused after all, so that Charlotte can make a good calculation.
And this guy in front of him......
"I'm here because of vanity or jealousy. β
"Al Pacino" went on to explain,
"This emotion comes from the guy I'm possessing now, but also from the guy behind me. β
He gave his thumb to Keanu Reeves, who was standing behind him stupidly, and then to Charlotte.
β or Charlize.
"Last night, these two guys found out what Oscar nomination the girl you possessed right now had gotten into, and it made them both have mixed minds. β
"Is the mentality complicated?"
Charlotte was not surprised by what "Al Pacino" said.
After all, whether it's luck or public relations, Charlize can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress at the age of 20, which is definitely something that other actors envy and hate.
Even Al Pacino, who has already won the Oscar, may have to sigh "terrible" when he sees this scene.
What's more, Keanu Reeves, who has always been criticized by film critics for having no acting skills and acting all on his face!
"Did Charlize get an Oscar nomination that stimulated their emotions?"
Charlotte guessed,
"But didn't you just say that "vanity is your favorite original sin"? The emotions they were stimulated should have nothing to do with vanity, right?"
"Not necessarily!"
"Al Paisino" stretched out his index finger and shook it,
"Whether it is envy, jealousy, sighing, or even a sense of competition, after all, it needs the heart of the pursuit of honor to be stimulated. And isn't this vanity?"
"That's right. β
Charlotte nodded,
"So, you're attracted to the vanity of their emotions?"
"Yes. β
"Nonsense!"
Charlotte unceremoniously retorted,
"According to your logic, how many people in the world are not vain at all? If just this kind of emotion can attract you, then I'm afraid there are not thousands of doppelgangers, and it is not enough at all, right?"
"Oops, was it discovered?"
"Al Pacino" laughed out loud - it seemed that he was not at all ashamed to be found out for lying,
"Indeed, vanity alone does not appeal to me. However, with the addition of something on him, it's completely different!"
He solemnly pointed to Keanu Reeves, who was standing behind him,
"This little creature has the curse of the man who made a contract with me. β
"The person who made the contract with you?"
"You can't be a human anymore, can you?"
"Al Pacino" laughed,
"After all, he's been around for hundreds of years, and he should have completely turned into a ghost by now!"
"Someone who turned into a ghost?"
Charlotte couldn't help but think of the ghost tiger Wei Changhui,
"Can you tell me his name?"
"Yes. But it's going to put your knowledge of history to the testβ"
A sly smile appeared on the face of "Al Pacino",
"When he was alive as an ordinary person, he was called "Piercing Prince"!"
