- In other words, a monster with a male soul, wearing the same skin as me, seduces other men to bed, and then kills them!?

According to Charlotte's explanation, Jodie Foster is not good as a person.

In fact, it's not just Judy, whether it's Anna on the side or Charlize, who has already learned part of the truth from Charlotte, they all feel a little disgusted when they hear this.

However, they quickly grasped the point -

"What do you mean by sacrifice and liberation?"

- Charlize hadn't heard Charlotte explain this before.

"To put it simply, it's about finding someone else to take your place. ”

Charlotte made an analogy,

"As long as the heart of the slain man is sacrificed to the prototype of the skin bag twice in a row, and the third time the man is killed, the soul trapped in the monster's body will be liberated. ”

"Liberation?Does it mean going to heaven!?"

Somewhat naïve Anna asked.

"How can the soul of such a creature go to heaven!?"

Charlotte's face was disgusted,

"Hell or dissipation is their end, though I don't know which one. ”

Speaking of which, Charlotte glanced at Jodie Foster again,

"However, even if the previous soul is freed, it does not mean that the killing of the painted skin will end there. The soul of the third slain man will enter the monster's body and re-form a new painted skin, repeating the cycle. ”

"But since the soul inside that monster is human, why don't they stop killing?"

Judy can't understand this behavior,

"They were the victims, so why should they be the perpetrators?"

"Isn't that how society works?"

Charlotte didn't take Judy's words seriously,

"Every perpetrator has been a victim at one time, and they have accepted the logic of the other party from the perpetrator, so they will become the new perpetrator. What's more, they can't resist their instincts after turning into monsters. ”

"Instinct!?"

"Seducing men and then killing them, that's the instinct of monsters. ”

Charlotte laughed maliciously,

"This instinct is even far stronger than normal hormonal urges, as irresistible as the need to eat and drink, even if the soul of the monster is a super straight man like Chamberlain. ”

"Super stallions, right!?"

Judy, who also knew Chamberlain's deeds, scoffed at him,

"But let that man do it...... Well, that's torture indeed. But where did the original soul of this monster come from?"

"I don't know much about that. ”

Charlotte shook her head,

"There is a saying that the original painting skin is a man who has been abandoned by a man, and he dresses up as a wife who abandoned his man to seduce other men. ”

“......”

Although they could understand the meaning of each of these sentences, together, the three women present would rather not understand themselves.

- Even Jodie Foster's lace trim is no exception.

"If I could, I wish I hadn't heard of it. ”

Judy shook her head, as if trying to shake what she had just heard out of her head,

"But now that you've got rid of that monster, does that mean this nightmare is over?"

"If that were the case, he wouldn't have told you about it at all. ”

Charlize interjected with a stiff face.

Sally was right. ”

Because Charlize had already expressed his attitude before, Charlotte didn't think it was wrong,

"What's really scary about the painted skin is that as long as the source is not addressed, even if it is destroyed, it will continue to regenerate. ”

"Regeneration!?"

Miss Actress suddenly thought of something terrible,

"You're saying there's a monster out there right now that looks exactly like me and seduce people like a bitch and kill people like a madman?"

"I think you understand the gravity of the matter. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"This is how Painted Skin hurts the woman who is the archetype – he doesn't kill the woman, but he destroys her reputation. ”

"It's not just about ruining my reputation for me!"

Judy stood up excitedly,

"If the paparazzi photograph that monster using my appearance to seduce men outside...... I'm going to be infamous soon. ”

"And that's not even counting the possibility that the FBI will come to you after investigating similar situations. ”

Charlotte made another stab in the back,

"I think you'd better have someone follow you in the future and prepare an alibi for you, otherwise you'll ......"

"That's a big problem!"

Judy walked around a little nervously,

"The media, together with the FBI, can definitely drive me crazy!

She suddenly stared at Charlotte expectantly,

"Aren't you able to manipulate this painted skin that you've destroyed?

"No, you can't. ”

Charlotte knew what Judy wanted to say, and he directly interrupted the other party's words,

"Just like the corpse of a person decomposes after death, this skin does not last long. And the same goes for those yellow gases. ”

"Even if I were willing to testify, the FBI would be willing to believe that the sorcery and ghosts, which in their opinion should be similar to 'One Thousand and One Nights,' are not much longer in existence. ”

"So, finding a way to completely eliminate the skin so that it can't regenerate is the only way to solve your problem. ”

Charlotte made the final conclusion.

"Is that so?"

Judy nodded helplessly,

"So, Charlotte, I'll leave this matter to you, okay?"

"Can be—"

told Judy that the original purpose was to solve the problem of painting skin, and Charlotte naturally couldn't agree to it. But he also put forward his own conditions,

"However, if you want to solve the problem once and for all, you will also need your help from Judy. ”

"My help!?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"Essentially, all ghosts can be said to be born from the dark side of the human heart. And since the painted skin is based on you, it is even more inseparable from you. ”

"Something to do with me!?"

Judy pointed to her nose.

"Of course!"

Charlotte glanced at Charlize and Judy's assistant Anna on the side, and tried to explain to them in the most popular language,

"According to my recent research, movie stars are a group of people who can easily summon ghosts. ”

"During the 90 to 120 minutes of darkness in the cinema, the audience is distracted, and it is easy to project their emotions and desires onto the stars on the big screen. And that's where the goblins' power comes from. ”

"So when 'Fatal Bend' was screened—"

A similar experience made Charlize understand Charlotte's words better, she thought about it, and said again,

"So, you mean, Judy gets haunted by this monster because of what movie she's been in?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte glanced at Charlize appreciatively,

"If nothing else, don't you think that some of the behaviors I just talked about have a lot to do with a movie starring Judy?"

"What movie!?"

"The Silence of the Lambs!"
