Before actually seeing the remnant of Francis Farmer, Charlotte's psychological expectations were actually very optimistic.

First of all, there are dragons in the underground of Malcolm Sanatorium, and the ghosts outside can't get in, and the ghosts inside can't get out, which limits the scope of the problem.

- Even if the ghosts here are really difficult to solve, it's a big deal to just let the people here evacuate.

Secondly, through several previous temptations, as well as the situation reported to him by Sam Phil, he deduced that the ghosts here were actually a group of remnants of lobotomy.

Although the cause is rather peculiar, normally speaking, this kind of remnant soul cannot even be provoked by ordinary people, and it will completely dissipate if it is not careful, that is, it can only be majestic in front of children and some patients.

Charlotte didn't think that with her own ability, she would not be able to deal with such a group of guys.

Therefore, before using the movie "Red Singer" to lure the other party out, he was very confident.

However, the moment he saw Francis Farmer on the movie screen, he realized that he had missed a possibility-

Indeed, just looking at Francis here, he is not really that powerful.

Although she can now be said to be the aggregate of a large group of remnant souls, no matter how you say it, she is still just a remnant soul.

Although because of the occupation of the dragon's consciousness to a certain extent, the other party has a lot of power, but to Charlotte, this is nothing.

He had a way to make the other person disappear.

But the question is, is that the end of it?

The biggest problem here at Malcolm Sanatorium was never Soul Disorder, not Francis Farmer or those remnants......

These are just appearances.

- The real problem is the underground dragon.

Dragons are such things as either sleeping motionless, and once they make a move, they will inevitably have a great impact.

In particular, this is a dragon that has grown up quickly by absorbing the remnants of the souls of living people by absorbing them.

- You must know that if you domesticate a beast as a pet, it is best not to let it eat live food.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to control the ferocity of the beast.

And the food that this dragon has always eaten can be said to be the soul of a living person.

– albeit only a small part of it.

But the human soul is fragile, and even a small part of it can easily lead to dementia or worse.

As for counting on Francis Farmer to take control—

"Although you or your aggregate have a certain ability to think, it is the instinct of most resentful ghosts to induce the living to recreate their own death, and it is difficult for you to resist under the instinct bonus of the dragon. ”

"Dragon instincts?"

Francis Farmer was stunned by Charlotte's words,

"But now it's us who controls the dragon!"

"That's different!"

Charlotte frowned and thought for a long time before she came up with a suitable statement,

Let's put it this way – you can choose a vegetarian diet or a meat, you can choose to drink alcohol or water, but you can never go without eating and drinking, it's a survival instinct. ”

"And for the dragon, absorbing soul fragments is equivalent to eating, it's its instinct - even if you can control some of the dragon's power, you can't make it go on a hunger strike!"

"This ......"

Frances Farmer was stunned, while Charlotte's explanation continued,

"Dragons born in the normal way have very low requirements for "eating", and only need to absorb a small amount of soul fragments"

"Such a requirement can be fulfilled as long as there is life thriving in this land—normal birth, old age, sickness and death are enough to produce enough soul fragments for it to absorb. ”

"But the problem is that this dragon was born by an abnormal way - it was born by absorbing the remnants of the souls of the living, not by fragments of souls that had been completely devoid of memory and were close to dissipating. ”

"I'm afraid its requirements for "eating" are much higher! And it will get higher and higher!"

"Getting taller and higher!?"

On the movie screen, Francis seemed to understand what Charlotte meant, and her face turned white all of a sudden.

"It's hard to get enough of it, and your appetite will grow bigger and bigger, and it's not just people - dragons too!"

Charlotte looked at Frances Farmer, her face was very serious,

"Since 1982, when you really got together, in the past ten years, there have been more and more patients in Malcolm Sanatorium who have eventually become demented, right?"

Francis Farmer did not answer.

And Charlotte didn't actually need the other party to answer, he said to himself,

"Although there are doctor-patient confidentiality agreements, it is not difficult for me to investigate these privately in my ability - at least what I have seen is that more and more people are suffering from dementia or soul disorder in Malcolm's nursing home, and there is a lack of soul. ”

"And when the patients in Malcolm's sanatorium can't satisfy the dragon's appetite, it's probably going to drive you out into the world to get the souls of the living back to feed it!"

Speaking of this, Charlotte had a sarcastic smile on her face,

"On the surface, it is true that you remnant souls dominate the consciousness of the dragon, but like the old philosophical question - does consciousness determine matter, or matter determines consciousness?"

Charlotte shrugged,

"Dragons, fantasy creatures that spend most of their time sleeping, have a body instinct that is far greater than the power of consciousness - this means that you control the dragon's consciousness, and the dragon's instinct is controlling you!"

"When its body needs new remnants for food, you remnants who occupy its consciousness will, instinctively, create a new soul separator, or soul escaper. ”

"Although it takes a long time for a dragon to absorb a remnant soul, and it can be rescued during this time, as the dragon grows, this time will get faster and faster, which means that its appetite will grow—"

"So, we've raised a dragon that eats souls!?"

Hearing this, Francis Farmer's face turned pale, but she still had a trace of doubt about Charlotte's words,

"You don't mean to say that, so that you can trick us into doing what you say and being purified by you, right?"

"It won't be much trouble to purify you!"

Charlotte had a "you think too much" expression,

"The reason why I am telling you this is because once you lose the control and interference of your remnant soul consciousness, dragons will act more according to their physical instincts-"

"It has grown up by eating and absorbing the souls of living people, what do you think it will do once you let go of your instincts?"

Francis Farmer's face turned even paler.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke with some difficulty,

"And what do you want us to do?"

"Help me tame the dragon!"

Charlotte was straightforward about her request.
