Chapter 147: The Last Exorcism

"What the hell is going on!?"

Charlize realized that there must be something wrong with this. She looked at Charlotte, hoping that the latter would give her an explanation.

"It's actually our reward!"

Charlotte pointed to the cottage behind her and explained to Charlize.

Actually, things are also very simple

After Christmas, Charlotte went to see Jodie Foster, originally just to discuss the follow-up promotion of "Happy Death Day", but in the end, the actress wanted Charlotte to help her perform another exorcism.

It turned out that although the evil god let go of his control over Judy at that time, this did not mean that Miss Actress was completely fine.

In other words, from a magical point of view, it may be fine, but from a psychological point of view, it is the opposite

Just like a veteran who has left the battlefield may suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), Jodie Foster has also been psychologically stimulated by the painting incident.

Especially after being completely out of the control of the evil god, her thinking ability returned to normal, and during the filming of "Happy Death Day", the negative emotions in her heart were also greatly vented.

"I often have nightmares at night, dreaming that someone who looks exactly like me is standing in front of my bed and killing me, and later, I don't even dare to look in the mirror ......"

That's how Judy described it at the time.

In Charlotte's opinion, this is actually a symptom of PTSD.

This is normal.

After all, ghosts are generally very scary, and being entangled in these things, even if things are resolved later, this psychological fear cannot be removed for a while.

Jodie Foster is now in the stage of psychological fear after the event has ended.

Supposedly, seeking help from a psychologist may be the best way to do this. But Judy's problem was that she couldn't tell the psychiatrist the truth

Come to think of it, when the psychiatrist asked her why, she replied that she saw a ghost...... The doctor must have thought she was hallucinating and needed to be sedated or even shocked......

In desperation, she could only turn to Charlotte for help again.

Moreover, unlike Charlotte, who understands spells and can distinguish between psychological problems and ghosts, Jodie Foster can't even tell whether his current situation is caused by ghosts or psychological problems.

This made her even more relentless to turn to Charlotte, a ghost expert.

Charlotte's solution to the problem was simple and brutal

Of course he knows that the problem of the actress now is purely psychological.

But if you follow the psychologist's method of treatment, it will take a long time, and Charlotte is not good at it.

He knows magic, he can direct movies, he is a master of deception, but he is not a master of psychology.

Even he can hypnotize.

Charlotte chose to give Jodie Foster a mirror directly, a mirror painted with various charms.

Of course, those charms were fake, and Charlotte scribbled them.

This is the mirror that Charlotte used to call her soul and collect the fragments of her predecessor's memories when she first crossed over.

Charlotte gave it to Jodie Foster to give her peace of mind.

Although PTSD sounds complicated and difficult to cure quickly with modern scientific means, Charlotte understands that the essence of this thing is fear.

It's a fear that has passed, but it's hard to forget.

For Jodie Foster, it's the fear of ghosts, especially the painted skin and the evil gods who have controlled her.

It's simple.

Anyway, the evil god has been killed, and Charlotte only needs to give the actress a look like something that looks very powerful, and then tell her that after her own blessing, this thing can restrain the evil god.

People are very realistic, as long as they are given weapons that can overwhelm the object of their fear, they will naturally settle down.

This is the same reason that many countries that feel bullied always like to seek the weapon of mass destruction with the power of the sun.

The problem with the average person with PTSD is that society cannot allow them to carry weapons with them to suppress their fears, and many of these fears cannot be overcome with ordinary weapons.

In contrast, Jodie Foster's situation is much easier.

The mirror Charlotte gave her would not pose any danger, and it was not a problem to carry it.

That's what a placebo does.

In fact, the mirror did have a calming effect, and of the charms Charlotte scribbled, only this part was true.

Although this calming effect is only valid for one or two months without Charlotte's continuous mana support, it is enough to convince the actress that the mirror is really magical.

What's more, in order to enhance the sense of realism, Charlotte also deliberately took out the painted skin monster that he had captured before for a demonstration

After the death of the evil god, the painted skin was actually a dead thing, but it could still move through Charlotte's mana.

So, in Jodie Foster's eyes, there was a magical scene of Charlotte releasing the painted skin that was sealed by him, and then under the reflection of the magical mirror, the painted skin disappeared directly.

Very convincing and shocking indeed.

Although the fact is that Charlotte used her mana to manipulate the painted skin, which had long been left with only skin, walked around twice in front of Miss Actress, and then directly self-destructed.

Although it is indeed a hoax, it does solve Jodie Foster's psychological problems. After all, in this case, there is a bit of a feeling that faith is spiritual, and if you don't believe, you will not be spiritual.

In short, the problem of painting the skin is over here.

But after a period of fright and nervousness, Judy felt that she should change her environment to adjust her mood. In addition, this villa has also been placed with painted skin to place people's hearts......

"So, she sold you this villa, which already has the name of a murderous mansion, at a low price!?"

Hearing this, Charlize probably understood, but even so

"Even if you can't afford to sell it for a high price because of a murder, this is Beverly Hills!

In order to keep a certain distance, Charlize did not deliberately understand Charlotte's financial situation, but from her daily life, she could still see that the latter was not rich to that extent.

And Charlotte's answer left the girl dumbfounded:

"She only charged me $100,000 and said she would pay within 10 years. ”

“......”

Although Jodie Foster's villa is not big, the decoration is average, and now it bears the name of the murderous house, but this is Beverly Hills after all, and 100,000 dollars is indeed too low.

In particular, the other party also allowed Charlotte not to pay immediately

How much is the difference between that and giving it away for free!?

In fact, although they didn't say it explicitly, several of them knew that this was the reward given by Jodie Foster for the painted skin incident.

Of course, there should indeed be a reason why the actress doesn't want to live in this obscure house anymore.

"These damn rich people!"

Charlize, who is now famous, but still a poor man, curses like this.

But Charlotte knew that Jodie Foster's intentions were more than that.
