"So, your full name is Charlize!?Charlize Theron!?"

Looking at the arrears statement in her hand, Charlotte couldn't help but feel like she was lying in a groove.

"yes, don't you have to write your full name on the arrears statement?

Sally, no, Charlize Theron couldn't understand Charlotte's surprise.

"And Sally is—"

"Abbreviation!"

Charlize rolled his eyes.

“...... All right. ”

It's like going to Taobao to buy a pack of toilet paper, only to find out that the store's ID photo is very skeletal and looks like an alien - Charlotte does know that there will be an actress named Charlize Theron in Hollywood in the future, but because she hasn't seen the other party's films, she really doesn't know what she looks like. Therefore, he can't be sure whether the "Charlize" in front of him is the one.

- Anyway, get down to business first!

"Let's get started!"

Stuffing the arrears statement that may be signed by the future star into her pocket, Charlotte's face immediately became serious, except for the lack of an embarrassing and sexy beard, quite a bit of the style of the exorcist master Fan Helsing. However, in his heart, except for the little feeling of being in a groove that still exists, he can't help but want to laugh a little -

Collecting money from Sally, no, Charlize wasn't actually his purpose. Even if she really becomes a big star in the future, this girl is just a trickster actor who has not yet made her head, and even if she really wants to scrape money, how much can she scrape off her!? Charlotte asks her to pay, just to continue to deepen her trust in herself in the opposite direction.

People are strange sometimes. When he doesn't believe you, whatever you do for him, he will worry that you want to cheat him out of money and be skeptical of your words, and when he believes you, if you don't ask him for money, he will be suspicious, because he is afraid that if you don't want money, you might want something more precious.

Charlotte is no stranger to people with this mindset. When the old ghost taught him spells, he once asked him to set up a stall at the entrance of the hospital, targeting those middle-aged men who had just come out of the hospital, their faces were blue, and they sighed a little......

"Isn't there a response?"

At that time, he thought that the old ghost had made a mistake, but he was ruthlessly despised by the other party:

"Fool! People are ghosts these days, if you play a responsive brand, fools will know that you are going to cheat money, who cares about you?"

"But if there is a request for it, maybe others will think that it is a mistake and treat me as illiterate?"

"It's better to be ridiculed as illiterate than to be completely ignored by others. If you want to deceive people, the first priority is to attract people's attention and talk to them. ”

"But why should I deceive people? There is a real spell ......"

"Do you use it?"

The old ghost hated iron and steel,

"Besides, do you think that to deal with those monsters and ghosts, you can just suppress them with spells?"

"Isn't it?"

At that time, Charlotte had just begun to learn spells from the old ghost, too young and too simple.

"Of course not!"

The old ghost is going to blow up - that's not a description. Because it is a ghost, there is no entity, and the old ghost is angry, and the gaseous body will really expand and explode as literally. Of course, it can be recovered immediately afterwards without any adverse effects - according to the old ghost, the original description of "blowing up" was created after someone saw the ghost's reaction with their own eyes.

"You know how to spell, but people can't? When it comes time to use spells, your opponents, eighty percent of them are monsters or ghosts, they are born with spells, and you spell spells to spell them!?"

"Doesn't it mean that the speed of human cultivation is faster than that of demons and monsters?"

Charlotte muttered unconvinced, but she didn't expect that after the old ghost heard it, it really exploded with a "bang", and the explosion directly rushed him away.

"Where did you hear this idiot talk about?"

The old ghost quickly gathered together and continued to reprimand his apprentice.

"Web, web novel. ”

"Do you know why in the myths and stories of the past, those beautiful female ghosts and monsters liked to marry poor scholars?"

"Why?"

"Because those stories were originally used by poor scholars to learn spells!, you say the same thing, in this era of the end of the law, you humans are even difficult to learn spells, how can it be faster than ghosts and monsters who are born with spells!?"

The old ghost sneered,

"It is never the strength of the body that makes humans stronger than beasts, and in the same way, humans are able to subdue ghosts and monsters by magic. Spells are just means, and it's here that really makes the difference—"

He pointed to Charlotte's head,

"Ghosts don't have a body, so they naturally don't have brains, and monsters are born with brains that aren't smart enough, even if they're old demons, they're only on the same level as normal people. They are very easy to fall for when faced with human deception and deception. In fact, since ancient times, when human beings hunt ghosts, exorcise demons and subdue demons, they have always used these methods to deceive and abduct people. If you don't believe me, think about how Song Dingbo caught ghosts? Although many of those legends in the past were the self-congratulation of sour literati, the content of them was not completely fabricated. ”

"That's ...... so"

The old ghost's statement did make Charlotte's vision of spells a little disillusioned, but he was not the kind of second-year teenager who thought that power was everything, and he wanted to learn spells more out of pure interest, so he quickly recovered. Even, because of the old ghost's words, he was more interested in this strange spell.

"So, you asked me to set up a stall near the hospital just to learn how to deceive people?"

"That's right, if you can deceive people, you can deceive demons and monsters, so that you can only have a chance to cast a spell when you learn it. ”

Seeing that Charlotte had opened her mind, the old ghost's attitude also eased up, and even had a bit of a sense of seduction,

"Older men are chosen because men are always dissatisfied with their abilities in that area. This is even more common when people reach middle age and their physical functions decline. Even if he is physically fine, out of the desire to pursue better, he will subconsciously approve. In addition, the person who came out of the hospital, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever, you just need to talk to him through this, and the ...... will follow"

Under the old ghost's teaching, Charlotte quickly mastered the essence of wanting to capture and indulge, and even became a "master" in some people's mouths, although this "master" could not even use a spell at that time......

"I was still too young at that time!"

Coming back to her senses from the past, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh that time was a pig-killing knife, which made her own trickery master when she wanted to lie at the beginning. But looking at the victim in front of him, he couldn't help but become serious again-

"It's ironic to deceive people to gain trust so that they can better cast spells—ironically, but now I'm finally able to actually cast spells!"

He didn't forget his original intention, and he felt a little emotional. Of course, the most important thing now is to further win the trust of the girl in front of him who is haunted by resentful ghosts, so that he can use the latter means. For this reason, he decided to reveal some more things to the girl -

"The last time you committed suicide, I actually noticed your problem, but I can't confirm it. I wanted to follow you to confirm, but I didn't expect to catch up with ...... The result—"

He pointed to his head, which was still attached to the gauze, and saw Charlize smile a little embarrassedly before continuing,

"However, I was also sure that you were indeed haunted by ghosts, so as soon as I recovered from the brief amnesia caused by the concussion, I immediately told you about it......"

Of course, this is all fake, and Charlotte said this only to further gain the trust of the girl. He hadn't crossed into his current body at that time, so how could he know what his predecessor was thinking. However, a man who was drunk and beautiful girl in the middle of the night always felt like he was not at ease, but fortunately he finally made the right choice, which is why Charlotte is now.

“...... Later, because you didn't want to believe it, I had to trick you into drinking the drug and talk directly to the resentful ghost who pestered you, so you have this video you saw. ”

"It's unbelievable!"

Charlize covered his forehead and seemed to have a headache,

"But why? Why did your so-called ghost haunt me?"

"Romeo, why are you Romeo?"

Charlotte inappropriately quoted Shakespeare's famous tragedy, only to be glared at by Charlize and had to continue,

"Ghosts haunt people for no reason a lot of the time. But when it comes to you this time, there are some reasons. ”

Speaking of this, Charlotte paused for a moment, wanting to find a suitable example to analogy Charlize, who doesn't know much about gods and ghosts,

"Have you ever heard of water ghosts?"

"Is it the kind of ghost that is said to exist underwater and will grab the feet of swimmers and drag them to the bottom of the water to drown?"

Water ghosts are a common presence in ghost stories in the East and the West, and Charlize understands this, as Charlotte expected, which allows him to take the opportunity to continue:

"Although many people think that water ghosts are the product of people who panic when their feet are entangled in aquatic plants when they swim, they actually exist. This kind of ghost is essentially the same thing as the ghost that is haunting you now. ”

"Same? Does it mean that they are all the same and make people die?"

"That's it!"

Charlotte nodded,

"But the biggest thing in common is that both ghosts are constantly repeating the moment of their own death—in someone else's body!"

"The original water ghost may indeed have been entangled in aquatic plants and drowned. So, it repeats this way of death in someone else. Even if many people encounter real water ghosts, as long as they can get out of danger, they often subconsciously think that they are aquatic plants, which is the reason - they imitate aquatic plants too similarly. ”

"In the past, people thought that the things that were water ghosts were actually just water plants, but after the development of science and everyone believed that it was just water plants, you told me, it may really be water ghosts? It's not water plants that make people mistakenly think they are water ghosts, it's that water ghosts deliberately make people misunderstand water plants......

Charlize muttered to himself, feeling like his brain was running out of his head. Common sense and three views are gradually broken by the strange explanation in Charlotte's mouth, which makes her very uncomfortable, as if she suddenly found that the sun is black, and the angel's wings are actually bat wings, and there is an inverted triangular tail growing behind the buttocks.

"Then according to you, the resentful ghost who haunted me, the reason why she tricked me into committing suicide while drunk was actually because she herself died like that in the first place?"

"Quite possibly. ”

Charlotte nodded, agreeing with Charlize's reasoning,

"I suspect that the ghost named Alexis not only committed suicide, but it is likely that she jumped off that pedestrian bridge after getting drunk, just like you!"

Here's the author's***********

Actually, Sally is Theron, which is hinted at and even explicit in many of the previous chapters, including the cider house, the kid in the cornfield 3 (Theron has made soy sauce in it), etc. Readers who are more familiar with this aspect may have already seen it!
