Chapter 270: Dragon's Heart
"God Is Dead" is a poem written by Francis Farmer when she was 14 years old, and it is the real reason why she was admitted to the hospital as a mental patient.
Although the poem is of average level and has little influence, the problem is that MacXiism was rampant in the United States at that time, and some deviant behaviors are often considered to be influenced by the former Soviet Union.
Although this is the demonization of things that are not understood, in that era, there were countless people affected by it, and it was not only Francis Farmer who was mentally ill.
In particular, despite Hollywood's bizarre and materialistic desires, the United States is essentially a Puritan country.
In countries where the majority of people believe in God, the phrase "God is dead" is not something that is said casually.
It's even better to say, "God is a girl"!
Anyway, because of this poem, Francis Farmer was often attacked by right-wing people after he became famous, and was finally imprisoned in a mental hospital, which is not unrelated to this poem.
- It can be said that pure misfortune comes from the mouth.
Charlotte had investigated the life of Francis Farmer when she had any suspicions, so he knew about it.
And now saying the phrase "God is dead" is deliberately stimulating the other party -
After all, the other party was just a faint remnant of Francis Farmer's soul, and Charlotte couldn't be sure how much of the ontological affection he retained.
He wanted to take the opportunity to test it.
And the result was not what he expected-
The anger at the persecution should be the main emotional obsession of Francis Farmer's remnant soul.
And considering that she was actually part of her soul that was separated from the real Farmer when the white matter was lobotomy, it was quite normal for her to have this kind of anger.
Still, Charlotte won't let the anger continue.
"Now that the days of McCynism are over, and Dr. Malcolm Heard is dead, does this anger still make sense?"
Charlotte looked at Francis Farmer on the movie screen, not caring at all that the other party was glaring at him,
"Or does your anger not come from yourself, but from this "Red Lady Tribulation"?"
"What do you say...... Actually, yes!"
The ghost on the movie screen suddenly calmed down,
"What gave me emotions and even strength was indeed "Red Lady Robbery". β
- So, this is another ghost born out of a movie!?
Charlotte sighed in her heart and slowly said her analysis,
"Rome wasn't built in a day. "Red Lady Robbery" may be the key to activating you in the end, but many of the previous factors also have a lot of effects, right?"
Seeing that the other party did not speak, he continued,
"If I'm not mistaken, most of the patients who had their lobotomy removed in Malcolm's sanatorium must have left a few remnants here. β
"You're right!"
Francis nodded,
"But, after all, we are remnants, incomplete, and weak enough to leave this sanatorium. β
"So you're like ordinary soul fragments, hiding underground, and then being absorbed by the dragon veins!"
Charlotte laughed,
"It is precisely because of the absorption of a large number of artificially created remnant souls of you people that a dragon can be bred in the dragon veins here so quickly!"
"yes!"
Francis on the movie screen sighed, and his expression looked like a living person,
However, this rapid method of conception has its after-effects. β
"Because you remnants still have past emotions, memories, and even personalities, right?"
Charlotte said in one word,
"The soul fragments left behind by the deceased do not have many emotions, memories or personalities in them, and the dragon that grows up by absorbing these soul fragments is pure in consciousness. β
"And the dragon here absorbs you conscious remnants born of lobotomy. β
"This can also make the dragon grow quickly, but it also causes its consciousness to be confused, right?"
"Yes. β
Francis Farmer nodded,
"Originally, the dragon's consciousness was supposed to grow in the process of devouring our souls, but nowβ"
"The dragon's consciousness has directly become a collection of you remnant souls!"
Charlotte frowned,
"So, although this dragon was born, it is not complete. I always thought that the large number of ghosts in the ghost market that Sam Phil saw were ghosts serving dragons, but now that I think about it, what he saw should actually be you, right?"
"We didn't expect it to be like this!"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Francis Farmer's face,
"Originally, he just instinctively hid underground, but unexpectedly contributed to the birth of a dragon, and became the consciousness of a dragon. But in essence, we can't fully count the consciousness of the dragon, because we still can't control the power of the dragon. β
"I see. β
Charlotte nodded,
"That's why you didn't leave Malcolm Sanitariumβnot that you didn't want to, but you couldn't, right?"
Francis Farmer nodded.
- What a siege!
Charlotte sighed,
"Because of the realm of the newly born dragon, the ghosts outside can't enter, and you remnant souls who occupy the dragon's consciousness can't get out. β
"In this way, I understand the reason for the birth of the dragon and the cause of the ghost market. Your remnants are in a special state right nowβ"
"Because he is a remnant soul and is too fragile, even ordinary adults usually have to hide, and only dare to show his face in front of children like Sam Phil. β
"But together, you are the consciousness of the dragon, although you can't leave the sanatorium, but in it, you have a lot of power. β
"You're right!"
Francis Farmer had a sarcastic smile on his face,
"Obviously, after becoming the consciousness of a dragon, we understand a lot of things about spells, but in essence, we are still those fragile remnants. β
"So you do what the average ghost does, don't you?"
The corners of Charlotte's mouth also showed mockery,
"It's your work to let the new patients suffer from soul sickness, right?"
Seeing that Francis did not speak, Charlotte continued,
"Just as the ghosts of the suicidal will tempt people to commit suicide, and the drowning ghosts will try to drown people, so the remnants of your souls that have been separated will also separate the souls of others, right?"
β......β
Francis looked at Charlotte stunned for a long time, and finally nodded,
"It's not deliberate, but it's true, inadvertently, that we separate parts of the souls of some of the patients in the nursing home β it seems to be an instinct on our part. β
"It's normal. β
Charlotte shrugged,
"Most ghosts have the ability to lure the living into recreating their own ways of dying. What's more, you have also gained a part of the dragon's power. Now the question isβ"
"If this continues, Francis, you, or the dragon here, will eventually become a man-eating dragon!"
