Chapter 032: Death Inquisitor - Talking about ghosts
"Trading !?"
Hearing Charlotte's words, Charlize obviously felt that his brain was a little insufficient-
Although the blonde girl did not understand many conversations between Charlotte and the ghost tiger because she did not understand Chinese, she still knew that the mysterious monster with yellow eyes in front of her should be a powerful ghost from China who has lived for hundreds of years. It appears to feed on humans and enslave the souls of those who are eaten. Such a monster, the common money girl and the like, should be meaningless to it, right?
Could it be—
Charlize looked nervously at Charlotte, hoping that the man, who was more than just a friend of himself, would not say things like "at the cost of the soul of the woman next to me".
Charlotte didn't expect that Charlize's insecurity would make her wary of herself again, and when he saw that he had asked for a deal, the ghost tiger did not answer, so he continued:
"I know, in your current situation, you can't look down on money, power, or anything. However, I have one thing that will definitely interest you. ”
"Tell me about it!"
There was a hint of interest in Ghost Tiger's voice.
"You want to regain your power as a mountain god, right?
Charlotte revealed her hole cards.
- As mentioned earlier, the ghost tiger, as a type of mandrill, was originally a mountain god that was no longer believed in and sacrificed by people and lost most of its power. Although the ghost tiger in front of him was artificially created during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era, its essence was no different from other normal mandrills. In this way, it will surely hope to regain itself as a true mountain god.
In fact, for any creature who cultivates spells, stronger strength and more profound spells are impossible pursuits, and this is the case with ghosts and tigers, and Charlotte is no exception.
"I have to say, you came up with a deal I didn't expect, kid!"
The ghost tiger's eyes were full of yellow light, but his voice was even more cold,
"I'm really interested in restoring the power of the mountain gods, but I don't think you have the means to do it! Do you think that I have eaten so many people and made their souls into ghosts just to fill my stomach?
"That's because you're fundamentally wrong!"
Charlotte was dismissive of the ghost tiger's statement,
"The difference between mandrills and mountain gods is people's beliefs and sacrifices, not people's lives and souls. As the saying goes, "suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts", and the darkness and fear and awe in the hearts of human beings are the source of the power of ghosts and gods. Isn't it tyrannical that you're just brutally eating humans who might give you the power of awe?"
"This ......"
Ghost Tiger seems to have been somewhat persuaded by Charlotte,
"But when I eat those who come near here, shouldn't the others be afraid and awe of me when they know about it? ”
"That's because they don't even know!"
The corners of Charlotte's mouth were a little sneering,
"The current era is very different from what you used to be. On the surface, people no longer believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, you just eat some people nearby, and others will not be afraid of the mystery as long as they don't see it with their own eyes, but will only think that it is a disappearance, and even become interested!"
- In particular, this is still a hot land in the United States, and the people here generally have the spirit of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains".
"Ah!!?h
At this time, the ghost tiger was also a little dumbfounded.
Now he understands. Although he has great power, in this era when most people do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, no matter how many people he kills, people will never believe in his existence, and naturally there will be no fear of him, so he will not be able to provide him with strength.
"So, is there any way you can fix this?"
He finally understood why Charlotte had asked for a trade.
"Of course!"
Seeing that after talking for a long time, the other party finally took the bait, and Charlotte immediately gushed out,
"Like I said, in this era, on the surface—"
He put his hands to his ears and made a quotation mark gesture,
People no longer believe in ghosts and gods. However, deep down in their hearts, in places they themselves do not know, the place of ghosts and gods is still preserved, it is human nature. The difference is that in the dark ages of the past, people fantasized about the salvation of heroes because they were afraid of the power of ghosts and gods. Now, they fantasize about the power of ghosts and gods in order to watch the stories of heroes. ”
"You mean, the cathode is yang, and the yang is yin?"
"You don't have to understand it that way. ”
Charlotte smiled wryly. The same was true when he got along with the old ghost before he crossed over, and he didn't understand why these guys who came from the old times always like to use words like yin and yang to highly summarize various theories? Although it sounds very reasonable, the higher the degree of generalization, doesn't it mean that there are more places where ambiguity may arise? After a few rounds of such nonsense, it is estimated that he will not be able to understand anything except the mosquito coils in his eyes.
However, now is not the time to complain about the other person's language habits.
"If you really want to use this method to gather the power of fear and awe from people, it is better to use the power of modern media. The media can spread the news quickly, and as long as we choose the right way, we can quickly gain strength from a large number of people. ”
"How many?"
"Well...... this"
Charlotte made an analogy,
"In the past, you marched and fought, and most of the troops that were dispatched at one time were in the thousands to tens of thousands, right? 100,000 is already a very large scale. But now, the number of people who have watched a better movie is dozens or even hundreds of times that of this. ”
"That's hundreds, if not tens of millions?"
"Even a few hundred million is not unusual!"
— especially after the explosion of that huge market across the Pacific in the future.
Charlotte added secretly in her heart.
"So, if you want to regain the power of the mountain god, you just have to go to a movie show so that people can see you and be in awe of you. And the contemptible is not talented, it happens to be a director who is shooting a movie. ”
Today PS writes here********************
PS1: "The Judge of the Dead" is a movie of Xingye, many people should have heard of it!
PS2: Actually, the real title of this chapter should be called Lip Paw, but unfortunately I didn't find a more suitable title;
PS3: The subtitle "Talking about ghosts" should actually be shui ghosts, just like pajamas...... I always felt that something was wrong.
