Chapter 400: Suicide Volunteer (400 Chapters)
Charlotte's illusion of Keanu Reeves-like Constantine is actually a pure spell creation.
He borrowed the emotional power generated in the hearts of the audience during the premiere to create an illusion of Konstantin who could fight for him.
In fact, he will set up a special action scene in the last part of the movie, which is also related to this-
In that adrenaline-pumping battle, he showed off all the exorcism methods used by Konstantin in the previous films.
This not only makes the climax at the end of the movie exciting, but also makes Konstantin's ability leave a deeper impression on the hearts of the audience.
That's why he pinched the time, and when the battle on the big screen was just over, he triggered the curse of the first embrace that had been transferred from Keanu Reeves.
- If Dracula, who released the curse, doesn't appear, then Charlotte will take the opportunity of the end of the movie to let the curse dissipate completely.
- And if Dracula shows up to stop it, then he will fall into Charlotte's trap, and he will summon multiple Constantines to besiege him at the most opportune time......
You must know that the exorcism treasures used by Konstantin are not completely made up out of thin air.
- They all have historical prototypes.
Now with the release of "Hell Detective", they do all have some power to exorcise evil spirits.
Of course, Charlotte relied on more than that-
"According to the movie, this is Konstantin's home β in this room, he stores dozens of gallons of holy water in case of emergency. β
Charlotte smiled a little sinisterly,
"In the real world, holy water isn't that easy to make, and it doesn't do much for you goblins, but in this worldβ"
"I'm going to be weakened by holy water, right?"
Although Dracula doesn't know how Charlotte sets up the attributes of this fantasy world, he has been changed by literary works, and he does have lingering feelings about this method of killing people without seeing blood.
"It seems that you are indeed well prepared. β
Dracula thought for a moment, and simply put away his sharp fangs,
"But since you're so well prepared, why don't you do it as soon as I show up?
As a tyrant who once led a country, Dracula is not only brute force.
In fact, many times, he was also able to solve problems with words and words.
Just like the famous words of the cardinal of France, who was more than 100 years behind him in the active era-
"A pen is more powerful than a sword!"
Like now, Dracula realizes that the man in front of him, who seems to be in his chest, may not actually intend to start a war with him.
So, he was going to ask the other party about his intentions.
However, Charlotte's answer was completely beyond his expectations,
"I just want to know if you still have any plans to live, or exist!"
"What!? Are you crazy?"
"Isn't it?"
Charlotte shrugged,
"You originally devoured goblins or gods, and wanted to become the patron saint of your country, Wallachia, right?"
β...... That's right. β
"But now, the country of Wallachia no longer exists!"
Charlotte sighed,
"And you don't know what Romania, which covered Wallachia in the past and regarded you as a hero, is now completely unknown, right?"
ββIn the 90s of the 20th century, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the entire Eastern European region fell into turmoil and chaos.
Many countries, like Romania, which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc, had their economies collapsed.
The rapidly declining standard of living forced Romanians to sell themselves to survive, and even got the nickname of "European Women's Branch......
This era is like this, light and shadow are born -
Echoing the noon of the American empire was the bleak wind and rain of the former Soviet Union.
Charlotte realized that this was a weakness of Dracula and deliberately provoked him.
You must know that according to Xu Fu's leaked information, Dracula's original purpose of devouring ghosts was to become the patron deity of Wallachia or Romania.
And now......
"How can there be the splendor of heaven without the reflection of hell?"
Dracula muttered to himself,
"His principles are always right!"
"Him!?"
Charlotte's eyes narrowed.
In his original plan, he hoped to use the vampire's own characteristics to let Dracula finish off himself.
After all, after hundreds of years of literary and artistic processing, the immortal vampire has an extremely peculiar death-making trait-
They can live forever, but they can't bear the emptiness of eternal life. Just going through more than 100 years of vicissitudes can often make them mentally overwhelmed.
- To put it simply, vampires have bodies that can live forever, but they don't have a spirit strong enough to support them.
This is a common tendency in literature about vampires, and since the 90s of the 20th century, most classic movies about vampires have been in this tone.
Whether it is "400 Years of Vampire Horror" or "Interview with the Vampire at Night", the vampires in it have a faint tendency to self-destruct.
Charlotte felt that this was actually a death hole that Xu Fu deliberately created for Dracula.
You must know that Xu Fu, as a semi-ghost who has existed for more than 2,000 years, is very cunning and cunning.
If Charlotte hadn't combined what the old ghost had taught him before, dug out the other party's old bottom, and then found the other party's weaknesses, I'm afraid there would be nothing she could do about it.
And such a cunning Xu Fu will just turn Dracula, who stole his power, into a vampire who can't see the sun?
After careful study, Charlotte felt that Xu Fu had been influencing the entire history of vampire literature in a hidden form.
He deliberately guided the creators of countless vampire literature, injecting vampires with world-weary and self-destructive genes.
This has indeed formed a unique vampire culture, but correspondingly, the image of vampires in the hearts of the world has been completely distorted.
- How could Dracula, who originally had the title of "Piercing Prince" and commanded the Wallachian army to resist the Turkish attack, have any self-destructive tendencies?
- The tendency to destroy others may be greater.
However, after Xu Fu's deliberate guidance for hundreds of years, those vampire literature with a self-destructive and misanthropic style will definitely affect Dracula's heart subtly.
- After all, ghosts are such things as relying on people's hearts, and they will inevitably be affected by people's hearts.
Now, has this former "son of the dragon" become as fragile and abnormal as the vampires in countless vampire literature?
Anyway, Charlotte felt that she could try it along the paved road of Xu Fu.
"With my mouth cannon level, maybe I can directly say that Dracula is in ashes! Even if it doesn't work, at least it can greatly reduce his will to survive!"
As a master of deception, Charlotte is still very confident in her ability to fool.
In fact, he just mentioned the current situation in Romania precisely to discourage Dracula.
- You must know that Dracula's desire to become a ghost is actually to protect Wallachia or Romania.
The reality of this world now, for him, can be said to be disillusioned!
- This is definitely a good reason to commit suicide!
However, hearing Dracula's last words, Charlotte changed her mind.
"Can you tell me who He is?"
He asked directly.
