Chapter 498: Hanging Game (Subscription Requested)

"Are you alright?"

Mel Gibson asked Donnie with some concern.

After he went back last night, he immediately asked someone to investigate, but the result was a big surprise-

First of all, Patrick Jane is indeed a psychic master, he once solved a strange problem for the crew of "Titanic", so he was quite admired by producer Jon Landau;

Secondly, there have indeed been three murders in this house in Burbank, and Patrick Jane's "murder house" is not made up out of thin air.

This makes Mel Gibson really a little worried.

The stubborn Australian man didn't believe much in ghosts, but now he feared something else.

He came here early this morning.

It's just that, at present, Downey hasn't encountered anything too special except that he hasn't slept well.

"Actually, it can't be said that nothing happened. ”

Donnie was a little embarrassed to say,

"Last night, there were still some strange noises in the room, vague, and I even saw a figure shaking, but Mel, as you know, often hallucinates when knocking on drugs, so-"

"So you subconsciously thought it was a hallucination, so you didn't care!?"

Mel Gibson didn't know what to say.

And Donnie scratched his head embarrassedly,

"Yes. That's what I thought last night, but when I woke up this morning, I felt something wasn't right — I wasn't high last night, after all. ”

"This ......"

Mel Gibson was stunned, but considering the identity of the owner of the house, Patrick Jane, he didn't know if it was really a ghost or a strange trick arranged by the other party.

In the end, the Australian man could only pat Donnie on the shoulder,

"It's okay...... By the way, since you're not scared by the haunted house, what's the situation with this yawning now!?"

“...... It's a bit of an addiction. ”

"Hold it back!"

Mel Gibson said angrily.

Unbeknownst to the Australian man, his good brother Donnie had heard more than just a little noise last night.

Actually, Downey had a nightmare last night. That nightmare seems to be Donnie's past and future—

Acting, drugged, caught, quit, and kept repeating until he was penniless and living on the streets, and finally died under the torture of cold wind and drug addiction.

The dream was so real that when Donnie woke up, he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams for a while.

However, this dream also strengthened Donnie's goal of quitting drugs - after all, dying alone like that was not the end result he wanted.

It's just that, because Donnie has said similar things to his friends who care about him too many times before, he doesn't feel like there is any point in saying them again.

I just secretly made up my mind.

Unbeknownst to Donnie, the unusually real dream was actually a spell cast by Charlotte.

After all, as early as when she had just crossed into this world, Charlotte could use the ant's nest to cast a spell to weave dreams, and now it is nothing to create a fantasy for Donnie.

Of course, Charlotte didn't expect a dream to ignite Donnie with just one dream.

After all, drug addiction is not a one-time life choice.

This can be said to be a lifelong struggle, and a momentary rise will not solve the fundamental problem.

Charlotte used this spell just to make Donnie more correct so that she could cooperate with him.

However, Donnie was used to the hallucinations brought about by drug addiction, and ignored some of his small arrangements in this murderous mansion, which made Charlotte a little depressed-

He was going to take the opportunity to see the picture of the future "Iron Man", but now it seems that there is no chance.

However, this will not affect his real treatment of Donnie-

"Are you ready, Mr. Robert Downey Jr.?"

Charlotte, no, it should be said that Patrick Jane asked Donnie in a "please say your last words" tone.

This tone made Donnie swallow his saliva.

- If he had to choose between the heart, Donnie might still choose to run away. After all, Patrick Jane, the "psychic master", is acting a little scary.

But now, there's no point in backing down.

Donnie nodded a little heavily.

"So, please stand on the chair over there!"

Patrick Jane gestured to a chair in the corner of the room.

Donnie turned his head to look, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

- On the top of the chair, there is a knotted rope sleeve!

"This ...... Patrick—"

Donnie said a little dryly,

"You're not going to let me hang myself, are you?"

"Not really. ”

Patrick Jane shrugged,

"I just want to ask you to experience the feeling of death up close - you know, the perception of life and death can help people repent and quit drug addiction. ”

“...... Well, that sounds like a little bit of truth. ”

Donnie hesitated, then glanced at Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster, who had just arrived, before finally nodding.

He walked over to the edge of the chair, stepped onto it, and reached out to grab the noose in front of him.

"And then?"

Downey asked.

Then he put his neck in the noose. ”

"Hey!!"

"It's part of my treatment too!"

Patrick Jane emphasized.

“...... Alright!"

At this point, Donnie is no longer entangled.

He obediently stuck his head in the noose - like a desperate man who was committing suicide.

Patrick Jane on the side, no, Charlotte nodded,

"Please close your eyes!"

Donnie did as he was told.

And then—

Charlotte jumped up to Donnie's side with a lunge and kicked him in the chair he had added.

"Ah!!h

The scream was made by Jodie Foster on the side.

This is not a negotiated trust.

Miss Actress didn't expect that Charlotte would look like she wanted to kill Donnie directly.

Mel Gibson on the side was even more furious.

From the very beginning, he felt that something was wrong. But under the influence of a strange atmosphere, he never said anything to stop it.

However, now seeing the chair at Donnie's feet being kicked over, hanging in mid-air like a hanged man and struggling, he finally couldn't help it—

The Australian tough guy roared angrily and wanted to rush over to rescue his good brother.

Who knows, even if he has to collapse, his feet are still motionless.

"What's going on!?"

Mel Gibson roared, half surprised, half afraid.

And Charlotte, who was standing next to Donnie, laughed out loud -

"Don't worry, Robert Downey Jr. won't die here!"

As he spoke, he patted Donnie's body with his own hand, looking like he was joking.

However, with the scene of Donnie being hung in the air, his face was suffocating, and his hands and feet kept struggling, like a dying spider, his words just now were really a little unconvincing.
