"Alexis? I remember the name......"

Bartender Campbell wipes his glass as he struggles to recall,

"She's a regular here, I heard she's an actress, but she committed suicide two years ago. ”

"Suicide!?"

Campbell's own unsure answer really startled Charlize, and she held back the fear in her heart, pretending not to care, and regretted,

"God, why did you make this choice? How could you give up your life so easily!?"

"Why!?"

Campbell also seemed to be aroused by Charlize's words, he gently put down the wine glass that he had wiped for a long time, and sighed,

"I vaguely remember that she wore a red coat that day, which was very seductive. Many men used to strike up a conversation with her, but she ignored it, just sitting there alone, drinking whiskey glass after glass. That's right, the same position you got drunk in last time. ”

"Up, where was last time!?"

Hearing this, Charlize could hardly hide his fear,

"Was it last night?"

"No, it was the day before yesterday. Speaking of which, you've been drunk for two days in a row, isn't there anything unpleasant?"

Seeing that Charlize didn't answer, Campbell picked up the wine glass again and continued to wipe it.

"Actually, I can't remember what happened so long ago. It's just that that night, you gave me a very similar feeling to her back then. Ah, I'm sorry!"

Realizing that his statement was very unlucky, Campbell hurriedly apologized to Charlize, but the shocked girl didn't have the heart to pay attention to this-

"That Alexis really committed suicide after leaving this bar, and was sitting right where I was last sitting before the accident......"

A creepy feeling rose in Charlize's heart. No, is it really a coincidence?

Originally, she was still a little skeptical of Charlotte's words, and the video that the other party showed her, she suspected that she was hypnotized by the other party to record it. So, when the other party suggested that she come to the cider house and ask if anyone knew the so-called Alexis, she agreed without hesitation - in her opinion, temporarily leaving the other party's sphere of influence would help her clear her mind and expose this possible deception. However, the current investigation results have dealt her a heavy and terrifying blow.

"Should I get out of this bar? ”

Although he understood that this was a psychological effect, Charlize had a hard time controlling himself from being afraid. This is not the story that seems scary but is actually distant in the movie, but it really happens in the girl's life. Being the heroine of this kind of movie is worth celebrating, but if you are involved in such a strange thing in real life......

Charlize involuntarily shuddered. Only then did she notice that she had left the bar and was walking down the street in a daze, and not far in front of her was the same flyover where she had committed suicide before—and what Bartender Campbell called the place where Alexis committed suicide.

"Is this it?"

Before the shock in Charlize's heart could turn to fear, she was distracted by a somewhat familiar voice—Charlotte Booth was standing aside with her shoulders crossed, looking at her with a playful look in her eyes.

Previously, after discussing with Charlize and asking the blonde girl to go to the cider house to ask about "Alexis", Charlotte left the blonde girl's house. The ostensible excuse is to prepare some props to hunt ghosts and exorcisms, but in fact it is the opposite-

When he came out of the apartment where the girl was renting, he only turned a little and hid, until the girl came out, and he was far behind. Although his skills in tracking the tail line are very average, Charlize was uneasy along the way because of what he had experienced before, and he didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all, so naturally he wouldn't notice him.

"She actually went to the same bar yesterday instead of calling 911, and it seems that she did believe what I said. ”

Charlotte deliberately left, of course, for her own purposes, but at the same time, it was also to give the girl a buffer time to clear her mind. To his relief, the girl finally chose to believe him - of course, even if the girl made the opposite choice and called 911 to call the police, because he had already left, the police could not arrest him - the cunning rabbit still has three holes, how could he, a former "master" and liar, not leave a few followers?

"If all goes well, you'll soon be able to hunt ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. But can I really do it?"

Although she put on a master's demeanor in front of Charlize, Charlotte herself understood that it was just the result of the old ghost's training. In the face of ghosts, although he has a lot of theoretical knowledge, in view of the situation before the crossing, he has never practiced it once. This is the same as if you take a lot of Teacher Cang's classes, but if you don't come here once, you are still a beginner. Charlotte's mood is actually quite similar right now, excited, nervous, full of anticipation and apprehension.

"What should I do?"

Although through previous contact, it can be judged that the "Alexis" who is entangled with Charlize is not a monster with great powers, but just a female ghost who is not very profound. You may not even realize that you have died and become a ghost. But the problem is that although he can already use spells because he has traveled to this era, in essence, he has only just begun to cultivate, and many tricks cannot be used because of insufficient mana......

"It seems that you really want to use deception as the old ghost said!"

Having made up her mind, Charlotte still followed Charlize unhurriedly until she came to the place where the incident happened last time-

"Is Alexis' place of death really the same place as the last time you had an accident?"

Facing the elusive Charlotte, Charlize was very uncomfortable for a while, and she was stunned for a long time before she reacted:

"It was about two years ago, Campbell, the bartender at the cider house, told me. ”

"Is she an actress?"

"How do you know?"

"Because this kind of ghost thing that resembles a water ghost, it always likes to entangle people who are in a similar situation to themselves before they were alive. ”

In order to enhance Charlize's trust in himself and facilitate future actions, Charlotte patiently explained,

"You were possessed by her that night because you lost your role and got drunk, which gave her a chance. But think about it, every night, there are countless drunks roaming the streets of Los Angeles, both men and women, and why would she choose you alone? because you have similarities!"

"You're saying that Alexis chose me as a possession because she was also an actress, but is that all? There are so many actresses in Hollywood -- could it be that she would kill herself, just like me, because she didn't go well?"

Following Charlotte's logic, Charlize also came to a corollary that made her very unhappy.

An actor will commit suicide, basically either depressed or not developing well. Depression is basically the death of a big star, but this Alexis is unknown, so it can be ruled out, and the rest is naturally not going well. ”

Charlotte sighed and glanced at Charlize with a complicated expression,

"There are so many girls like you who come to Hollywood from all over the world in the hope of becoming an overnight success, and most of them end up in obscurity, only to watch their glory pass away in vain. This feeling of putting in a lot of effort and achieving nothing is mentally suffocating and dying. On the road of pursuing ideals and success, there are countless 'corpses' of such losers. The difference is that some people are still alive, but they have become walking dead, while others have really become corpses. ”

"So she attached herself to me when I was drunk because I lost my role, was it because she was sick with me?"

Charlize bit his pink lip unwillingly, almost biting blood,

"Does she think I'm just like her, a loser who can't hold on?"

"With that level of ghost, you can't think of 'identifying'!"

Charlotte knew why the girl in front of her was unwilling, but he had nothing to do about it, so he could only continue to explain,

"If the ability is not enhanced to a certain extent, ghosts can have spells, can have memories, can kill, and can destroy, but they can't think, they can't identify, because they have no brains!!"

He tapped his finger on his head, which was still covered with gauze,

"Without this, naturally I can't think and judge. Ghosts of this magnitude are just vague mental bodies, they can only be vaguely felt, and as long as there is enough dark emotions to attract them, they will appear - so, to be precise, Sally, it's not 'Alexis' who chose you, but you! You chose 'Alexis'!"

Charlotte's words hit Charlize like a hammer in the heart, her blood rushing to her face, her brain buzzing, wanting to refute, but not knowing how to speak. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Charlotte sighed, but did not let her go:

"Actually, a ghost of Alexis's level has a very confusing memory, and in the case of a short possession, she can't do anything against the will of the possessed person. She can only amplify a certain emotion of the possessed person, and use the possessed person's brain to make—"

"Enough is enough!!"

Charlize interrupted Charlotte's chatter with a scream so loud that it startled some of the people who were passing by in a hurry nearby. However, seeing Charlize's sharp expression as if he was about to kill, they both wisely chose to continue on their own path. But Charlize didn't care about this, she looked at Charlotte with resentment, at this bastard who ruthlessly uncovered his own scars:

"Yes, as you said, the decision to commit suicide was originally made by myself!! I was weak, I had no talent, I was afraid that I would be nameless for the rest of my life! I was afraid, I was afraid, I didn't have the courage to compete with all the bitches who had better acting skills than me! I wanted to cheat, I wanted to lick the balls of those bastards, but I didn't have the guts to strip naked in the locker room! I used alcohol to drown my sorrows, I always wanted to commit suicide, but I didn't dare to admit it, so I had to put the blame on the one who didn't know if it existed. Alexis', that's a chance for you bastard to laugh at me!!!I, I'm ......"

"Do you regret it?"

Charlotte didn't comfort Charlize, who was already a little hysterical and close to collapse, he just quietly looked at the blonde girl with red eyes and was about to cry, and asked quietly,

"Do you regret it? Do you regret being an actor? Regardless of why you wanted to be an actor in the first place, do you regret that you took this path now?"

"I, I ......"

"In a person's life, there are countless setbacks waiting for us, and the only way to fall down once is to get up again and continue to walk on the road of life like a muddy pond until we can no longer get up. So, are you still up now, Charlize Theron, and if you do, stand up straight, don't lie down!"

Charlotte glared at Charlize viciously,

"Defeating Alexis is actually defeating your own weakness!

"I, I, I do!"

Obviously he was severely taught a lesson by a man who had just met a few times, but a warm current rose in Charlize's heart. She pinched her nose, forced her eyes to swell, and didn't cry,

"Even though it sounds like a fool, and although you are most likely a liar, I'm willing to give it a try!"

"Really?"

Charlotte suddenly smiled, looking very happy,

"Then the most important condition for exorcism is there!"

As he spoke, he smiled evilly again,

"It's a pity that this 'I do' is not the right time!"

Charlize's face turned red all at once.
