Chapter 029: Tracking
The forest was foggy at night, and Charlize walked blankly, as if walking in a dream.
βMirror mirror on the wallοΌβ
It was as if she saw the mirror in her bathroom again,
βWho is the most famous of them all?β
"It's you, Charlize. β
The mirror replied,
"You are the most famous actor in the world, the best star! Keep going down this road! Everything you want in your heart is ahead!"
- Yes, as I have seen countless times in my dreams, if you want to, everything is at your fingertips.
Charlize laughed eatingly,
"Just keep ......"
"Don't go any further!"
The face of an equally blonde woman suddenly appeared in the mirror,
"Haven't you rejected me countless times before, and why didn't you refuse this time?"
- Rejected countless times!?
Charlize shook his confused head, and finally recognized who the blonde girl in front of him who was similar to himself was-
Alexis !?
The female ghost who almost killed herself? Alexis who has only seen pictures of herself!?
No, it's not just photos!
In the dreams that followed, Charlize had come face to face with this delicate face countless times in the dream that Charlotte had created for Charlize to overtake Alexis.
In that woven dream, Alexis is no longer an actress who has died without a name, but a big star who lives happily and succeeds, and Charlize is her assistant.
Charlize silently observed her life and her work in her dreams, watched her star in "Spider-Man" sell well, watched her sign Dior's endorsement, and watched her pick up the little golden man......
Charlize knew it was just a dream, a dream woven for Alexis, but Charlize was still very envious, and she longed to be a substitute. And what Charlize envies the most is the other party's acting skills.
"If I could have such acting skills......"
She unconsciously imitated the other party's acting skills, not only in dreams, but also in reality, but unfortunately, even if she tried her best and gestured, she still lacked that kind of free spirit.
"Sally, I actually envy you more!"
The woman in the mirror spoke again, but her words made Charlize a little confused, even angry-
What do I have to be envied for!?
I went to audition every day, but I couldn't even get a role! I finally had the opportunity to be the protagonist, but I was talked about behind my back because I climbed into the director......'s bed! It's obviously miserable, but you still have to be entangled by a female ghost like you!!
"Yes, I'm a female ghost, I already know this!"
The woman in the mirror seems to have heard Charlize's heart,
"That's why I envy you! Because you're still alive, and you still have a chance! β
Alexis sighed,
"Actually, what I envy you the most is that you met him at the same time you met me!
He!?
Charlize was suddenly stunned, and before she could react, the blonde girl in the mirror stuck out her tongue:
"Oh, he's coming! Looks like we'll have to talk about it later!"
The next moment, the mirror shattered into countless chips, scattering like a swarm of butterflies. Charlize's eyes darkened, the cold feeling suddenly enveloped her, and the bare skin in the air was irritated and goosebumps appeared, which made her realize that she was not facing the "magic mirror" in her own bathroom now, nor sleeping in the cabin arranged by the crew.
βWhatβββ
Before the word containing the letter F could be spit out, it was covered back by a hand. Charlize, who was covered from behind, instinctively wanted to struggle, but the person behind her said in her ear:
"Silence, Sally! It's me, Charlotte!"
Hearing this voice, Charlize suddenly relaxed - the current scene is quite treacherous, Charlize was a little overwhelmed, but the appearance of Charlotte, who is good at dealing with this kind of thing, made her find the backbone.
Charlotte didn't know about Charlize's psychological change at this moment. He had seen someone haunted by ghosts during his night patrol before, so he immediately chased after him. When she got closer, she found that there was Charlize inside, and the ghost haunting her was Alexis, who should have disappeared long ago.
The first exorcism turned out to be anticlimactic, and the female ghost that was supposed to disappear still existed, which made Charlotte feel a little frustrated. However, he soon realized that Alexis's entanglement of Charlize was somewhat different from that of normal evil spirits.
"Is it ......?"
Another thought arose in Charlotte's mind, but before he could take a closer look, Alexis' ghost seemed to have spotted her and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This female ghost has become more difficult than before!"
People who have been deceived are always more alert, and ghosts are no exception, and Charlotte knows this very well. But at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, because without Alexis's influence, Charlize seemed to wake up all of a sudden......
"So, you're afraid that my screams will startle Annika and the ghost haunting her, so you rushed over and covered my mouth?"
After listening to Charlotte's explanation, Charlize probably understood the current situation. At this time, she and Charlotte still crept behind the makeup artist Annika, and although the cold in the woods at night made Charlize shiver in only pajamas, she still refused to go back.
"You continue to track Annika while I go back alone, what if I run into something on the way back?"
Although it cannot be said that Charlize's excuse is unreasonable, the curiosity that is surging in her heart lets her know that it is not the real reason.
"It's up to you!"
Charlotte wasn't too much against it either. On the one hand, he felt that Charlize's statement was not unreasonable, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if Alexis, who was supposed to disappear but was still attached to the blonde girl, would have a new action in the face of other ghosts.
"However, we are not too far behind, so why is Annika not seeing us at all?"
"Annika is haunted by ghosts, and at this time she is in a state similar to sleepwalking, so it is naturally difficult to feel us. β
Charlotte casually answered Charlize's question while staring at the female makeup artist in front of her and the ghost haunting her,
"As for the ghost, he can't find us, it's because of this!"
He raised his hand, and Charlize noticed that between his index and middle fingers, there was a green leaf.
"It's called a blind eye, it's a spell. Although the effect on people is not good, when dealing with ghosts, it is extremely effective. In its perception, we are non-existent. β
"You don't exist, you seem to be a transparent person!"
"Almost!"
In the face of Charlize's ridicule, Charlotte casually agreed. There was a faint regret in his heart - of course, a leaf is not just a leaf, there is naturally a trick to casting spells, Charlotte didn't expect to cast it because of her lack of practical experience, which made Alexis discover herself.
"But her actions are not so much to cause trouble as to protect Charlize ......"
Charlotte always felt that something was wrong, and he asked Charlize about the experience of being bewitched by ghosts, but the blonde girl couldn't say clearly:
"All I saw was Annika suddenly sit up and say something 'he's calling me,' and then my mind got foggy, and then there we were. β
Because he didn't put the glass bottle that sealed Alexis at the crossroads and smashed it according to Charlotte's request, Charlize subconsciously concealed what happened about Alexis in his dream. Charlotte didn't doubt this. In his opinion, it is really normal for people who are bewitched by ghosts to be unaware of the existence of ghosts.
β...... But when I go back, I still have to deal with Alexis. The first time I exorcised the ghost, I smashed the craft, but it's not good ......."
"Speaking of which, you keep saying that there are ghosts haunting Anika, but why can't I see anything?
"Not really. I'm not related to that ghost in any way, and I'm sure Annika doesn't either. β
Charlotte told a bad joke, but it didn't have any effect other than giving Charlize, who was already shivering, a little more goosebumps.
"Ghosts are meant to be seen only by opening the yin and yang eyes, and very few people are born with the yin and yang eyes. β
"Yin and Yang Eyes?"
Charlize seemed to be interested in the topic, and she forgot about the cold at once,
"Can you open it for me too?"
"It could be, butβ"
Charlotte smiled bitterly,
"I don't think it's the right moment. β
Unlike Charlize who always only saw Annika in front of him, what appeared in front of Charlotte at this time was a terrifying sight-
It was a misty valley, where the gloomy air was accumulating, and here, hundreds of miserable white figures floated aimlessly.
Charlotte couldn't help but gasp.
Although he had always thought that there might be ghosts haunting the area, he had never thought about how many there were. After all, this is the era of the end of the law, and just encountering a ghost is already a matter of great luck, how can you think more about it?
However, the scene in front of him told him that he was wrong!
"What is this!?Ghost City!?Or is it the land of ghosts?"
Charlotte looked a little incredulous. He instinctively felt that this time he might suffer!
"Since the distinguished guests have come to the door, why don't you come in and get together?"
The sudden appearance of the voice startled Charlize, and the next change made her can't help but scream-
Countless pale figures suddenly appeared, staring at them with a lifeless gaze.
"Okay, now you can see it without me opening your yin and yang eyes. β
Charlotte smiled wryly.
