Chapter 176: No Escape

Looking at Depp's disgraced expression, Charlotte didn't say something behind her-

Why did Winona Ryder escape from reality?

There must be a lot of complicated reasons for this.

But it will explode recently, and Charlotte feels that it is inseparable from the invitation to her from the "Guillotine Valley" project.

In other words, whether it is Charlotte or Jodie Foster, or even Depp, who is looking forward to her taking the invitation to "Guillotine Valley", has a certain responsibility.

However, Charlotte will not feel guilty about it.

After all, not to mention anything else, because of his crossing, there will definitely be a lot of changes in this world, some people are lucky, some people are unlucky, if you have to take care of them one by one, then you can't live at all.

And, as Charlotte said to Charlize at the beginning, the ghosts tend to seek out people who are spiritually able to provide them with a living environment.

This is also known as suspicion and darkness.

In the case of a ghost like Nightmare, it is not so much because it makes people have nightmares, but because someone is too stressed and has psychological problems, so they will summon it.

And Winona Ryder, Charlotte heard Jodie Foster say that this is a sensitive and neurotic girl.

Her spirit, I'm afraid, even if there were no nightmares, would have been exhausted by the spotlight of reporters.

Of course, without ghosts like Nightmares, Winona might have lasted much longer......

In fact, after learning about what happened to Depp in the dream just now, Charlotte has roughly guessed how the nightmare entangled him and Winona -

As Charlotte had guessed before, the Hollywood of this world, as the center of the world's entertainment industry, gathers the desires and inner darkness of people all over the world.

This is an environment that is suitable for goblins to spawn.

And Johnny Depp's first movie "Ghost Street", in which the boss is basically a copy of the nightmare in addition to the appearance-

Freddy, the demon king of "Killing in Good Dreams", can kill a person in a dream, causing them to die in reality as well.

Isn't this very similar to the nightmare of giving people nightmares until they follow their latent self-destructive tendencies and embark on the path of destruction?

Charlotte felt that the nightmare attached to Depp was first attracted by the fear brought to the audience by the movie "Ghost Street".

It's just that Depp has been taking drugs for a few years, and his self-destructive tendencies are already very serious, so he basically doesn't need nightmares to add extra pressure to him.

At that time, the nightmare may just be quietly lurking in Depp's dreams.

It wasn't until Depp became attached to Winona Ryder because of "Edward Scissorhands" that things changed-

Because Nightmare has found a better target!

Sensitive and neurotic, Winona is simply the most suitable host for nightmares.

What's more, she also has a spiritual resonance with Depp.

As a result, the nightmare became parasitic on her and Depp at the same time.

With the power drawn from the dreams they shared, the nightmares grew in power, and Depp and Winona began to become nightmares.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, Nightmares aren't actually a powerful goblin.

If it weren't for various accidents, it might have been a long time before the two of them couldn't bear the pressure of the nightmare.

However, life is made up of all kinds of accidents......

"So what are we going to do now to wake up Noni?"

Depp listened to some of the six gods without masters.

Although he still didn't fully believe it, Charlotte's words did explain what he saw and heard in the dream, which made him subconsciously start to ask for help.

But Charlotte wasn't that helpful:

"Johnny, you know, Winona's current situation is actually an endless loop-"

Charlotte shrugged,

"She wants to escape from reality, that's why nightmares trap her in her dreams. And the more she is chased by the nightmare in her dream, the more she wants to escape, and the more powerful the nightmare will be. ”

"That's why that monster can catch up with us all at once, but it keeps us running!"

Recalling the encounter in the previous dream, Depp understood what Charlotte meant,

"It was intentional!"

"That's right!"

Charlotte nodded,

"It deliberately chases you but never kills you. It is because what it needs is not to kill you, but to give it fear without stopping. ”

"Is our fear its food?"

"Man's fear is the food of all ghosts. ”

Charlotte looked at Winona on the hospital bed with a serious face,

"Because of her escapist mentality, Winona, who was trapped in the dream by the nightmare, was able to continue to provide fear to it, and the nightmare would definitely not let it go easily. ”

"It's going to hunt down Winona, but it's always looking for a chance to get her out because—"

"What it needs is the fear that Noni will have in the process of being hunted down!"

Depp angrily hammered down the wall with his fist.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to go home and pick up the gun, and rush straight into the dream to kill that damn nightmare.

However, the reality is that he is completely powerless in the face of such ghosts.

"Charlotte, what am I going to do to help Noni?"

Depp could hear that there was a sense of shirk in Charlotte's words before. But now, the only person who can deal with this problem is the person standing in front of him.

"This ......"

Charlotte didn't actually mean to take advantage of the opportunity. But he has always felt that only when the person concerned pays the price for such a thing as exorcising ghosts will the other party believe him-

Charlize when he asked the girl to write an IOU;

Jodie Foster's unconditional support for Charlotte in "Happy Death Day" is a wordless agreement between him and Miss Actress;

And Depp and Winona this time-

"The actor of "Guillotine Valley", I hope you can take it!"

Charlotte eventually made her own offer.

"That's fine!"

For the sake of his beloved girl, Depp agreed very simply. It's just that he still has some doubts,

"Is that all? As long as I take over the lead role in "Guillotine Valley", you will help me wake Winona awake?"

"That's right, yes, but it's not easy to achieve. ”

Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"Nightmare is not a powerful monster, if it wants to invade my dreams, I can kill it directly! But the problem is, if it is hidden in other people's dreams, it is very difficult to catch!"

"Because people's dreams are bizarre and ever-changing!

He pointed to Winona, who was unconscious,

"Now, the nightmare is actually lurking in the dreams that you and Winona share, but because of Winona's personal reasons, the nightmare is deeply entangled with her. ”

"So, in the dream just now, I could bring you back, but I couldn't bring Winona back!"

"So what to do?"

Depp was a little anxious.

"We need to shoot "Guillotine Valley" and then release it!"

Charlotte patted Depp on the shoulder,

"Johnny, this movie is not just a condition I gave you - the key to save Winona is actually in it!"
