However, Charlotte herself can't really say anything about Alexis.

After all, he himself loves the coffee at this shop.

The owner was a Russian immigrant who claimed to have worked for an old C.I.A. adversary. He said that his coffee is an imitation of the famous rubyanka.

Charlotte didn't know what the rubyanka tasted like, but he thought the coffee was really unique.

"Whew!"

After taking a big sip of coffee, Charlotte sighed before she said to the little boy in front of her, who was already drinking milkshakes,

"As you can see, Sam, we're doing a survey of the ghosts in the neighborhood right now. You should be living around here, right? I wonder if you can give us some useful information?"

"Useful information?"

Sam shook his head,

"I can see ghosts, but just not being scared is the limit. I've tried to talk to them, but most of them don't pay attention to me. ”

"It's normal. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"After all, when not possessed by people, ordinary ghosts are incapable of thinking. If you talk to them, they will ignore you. ”

"It seems like this. ”

Sam nodded, then felt that something was wrong,

"However, there have been a few times when I have encountered a large group of ghosts, they are talking and laughing, and they look very happy, it doesn't look like they can't think!"

"A horde of ghosts!?"

But Charlotte noticed the word at once,

"How many? Dozens?"

"I haven't counted them carefully. ”

Sam shook his head,

"Quite a few, anyway. I saw them coming together as if they were a community gathering. ”

"Community gathering!?"

Charlotte's face suddenly looked ugly,

"Ghost City!?"

"Ghost ...... City?"

Neither Sam nor Alexis, nor even Rivan, who was always invisible, didn't quite understand the words that came out of Charlotte's mouth.

Charlotte didn't explain either, and he immediately asked Sam another question,

"Is there a fixed meeting place for the ghosts?"

"Fixed. ”

Sam nodded,

"The few times I've seen them, it's in the vicinity of Malcolm's nursing home. ”

"Really?"

Charlotte was noncommittal, and then asked another question,

"Sam, do you think there's a pattern to their party times?"

"Regularity?"

The little boy shook his head,

"I don't know. But I think every once in a month or two, I always see it. ”

"Really?"

Charlotte nodded thoughtfully,

"Well, thank you this time, Sam!

"Don't say it to anyone, do you?"

The little boy pointed to his face,

"Do you think anyone would believe such a child who says he can see ghosts? In fact, you are the first living person to believe me!"

"Because I can see it, too!"

Charlotte smiled,

"Goodbye, Sam! I think we'll see each other again in a while. ”

The little boy waved his hand,

"May the Force be with you, Mr. Director!"

“......”

"I didn't expect this little guy Sam Phil to be a Star Wars fan!"

On the way back, Alexis felt a little funny, but Charlotte kept frowning.

"Is it troublesome this time, Mr. Director?"

In desperation, Ruifan, who felt that something was wrong, had no choice but to ask.

"It's not clear yet. ”

Charlotte shook her head,

"The only thing that is certain is what I encountered this time, and it is not something that can be suppressed purely by mana. ”

"Can you explain?"

Alexis is also interested,

"If nothing else, why couldn't Raven and I get into Malcolm's sanitarium today? I remember when you came with Sally, I went in with you!"

"This brings us to the nature of the ghosts. ”

Charlotte organized the language,

"As I said before, goblins don't have brains. Normally, you can't even think, can you?"

"Yes. ”

Alexis and Raven both nodded,

"That's why you tricked me into signing the contract. ”

Alexis was still a little haunted by what had happened at the time.

"It doesn't matter!"

Charlotte waved her hand,

"The important thing is, have you thought about it, what are you thinking about now?"

"This ......"

Both Rivan and Alexis were stunned for a moment.

Indeed, when they are ordinary ghosts, they can think, and they borrow other people's brains—

Alexis borrowed Charlize's, while Rivan was attached to Depp most of the time.

But after turning into a Valkyrie, Alexis broke away from Charlize's body, and Rivan was not attached to Depp for a long time......

"Where are our brains now?"

There is always a feeling of retardation when asking such a question, but now, both Ruifan and Alexis feel that their brains are a little insufficient.

"To be precise, you're using the cloud brain right now. ”

Charlotte gives a strange explanation,

"Do you know Alayya?"

Alexis and Raven both shook their heads.

"That's a Buddhist way of saying it, and of course, in my case, it might be a little different. ”

Charlotte pointed to her head,

"Generally speaking, we all think that each person's brain consciousness is independent, just like a normal computer. But the question is, computers can be networked, but what about the human brain?"

"Can the human brain be connected?"

Ruifan was a little shocked,

"Just like those networked computers!?"

"It should be said that it has been linked. ”

Charlotte frowned and said,

"I suspect that this connection exists from birth. It's just that we don't realize it. ”

"That's amazing!"

Alexis clapped his hands,

"But what does it have to do with where our brains are?"

"Of course it does. ”

Charlotte tapped her temple with her index finger,

"Because I suspect that you ghosts, who have names and surnames in various legends, are thinking through this network that connects all human brains. ”

Speaking of which, Charlotte made a summary,

"That's why I say Alayya and Cloud Brain. ”

“...... Can it be like this!?"

Rivan and Alexis were both dumbfounded. They subconsciously wanted to refute, but they felt that Charlotte's words were not unreasonable.

INTERVIEWER Indeed, according to various studies, the human brain is incompletely undeveloped and has many mysterious areas.

If there really is a network between human brains, and Alexis is hiding in it, then they can indeed borrow the brain margin of all human beings to think.

– the so-called "cloud brain" or alayya.

But—

"How can all this be proven?"
