"Except for the characters above, haven't you decided on anything else?"

Judy asked with a smile.

- Because of the little easter eggs set up by Charlotte in the cast list, Miss Actress was a lot happier.

"There aren't too many other roles, I think it's okay to cast openly, anyway, some young actors are good enough. ”

Charlotte spread her hands,

"However, I hope that the actor who plays the doctor can be a little more famous, and if you have friends who can make a cameo, that's the best. ”

"A few cameo roles, I'll figure it out. ”

Judy agreed very happily.

"That's good!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Because of the casting and scenery, it may take a while for "Happy Death Day" to start. I suggest you take advantage of this time to get Blair the Witch out!"

"Is there a time difference?"

"It's not just about the time difference. ”

Charlotte's face was a little serious,

"Because "Happy Death Day" can't be completed quickly, and if it weren't for the suppressive effect brought by "Blair the Witch", I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be ...... painted."

"I see. ”

"Done?"

Looking at Charlotte's relieved expression, Charlize felt that he should have negotiated with Jodie Foster.

"It's done!"

Charlotte sighed,

"Judy basically agreed to my request, and it seems that it is still possible to save her. ”

"Save!?by shooting to death!?"

Thinking of the role Charlotte said before that made Judy make a cameo, Charlize was speechless for a while,

"Are you going to send her to heaven and let God save her?"

"I'm not going to put real bullets in my prop gun. ”

Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"The reason for this is because we are dealing with an evil god this time, and we must use a special prop. ”

"Guns?"

"To be precise, it's a special gun, a gun that can kill gods. ”

Seeing that Charlize was a little confused, Charlotte simply explained from the beginning,

"Whether it is an ordinary god or an evil god, there is an immortal attribute, this attribute comes from the historical and cultural inheritance of human beings, and if human beings are not extinct, the gods will not disappear. ”

"Did man create gods? That's what you've always said. ”

Charlize nodded,

"But even so, it stands to reason that when all the people who believe in this god die, shouldn't this god also disappear with them?"

"Parents give life to their children, but when both parents die, will the children die?"

Charlotte gave a very common example,

"Gods are like ghosts, people's faith can only determine their birth, but the disappearance of faith will not destroy them, at most they will only put them to sleep. ”

"In fact, there are a large number of ancient gods in this world who are sleeping because of the dissipation of faith. If no one awakens them, they will only sleep forever, no different from death. ”

"So now this evil god is an awakened god?"

Charlize understood what Charlotte meant,

"But you just said that the gods have immortal attributes, and you said that you want to kill the gods, is this a bit contradictory?"

"It's not a contradiction. For even if he is killed, as long as the believer in the gods remains, he will be reborn sooner or later. ”

Charlotte explains,

"It's just that the reborn gods don't retain their previous consciousness and memories. This is not the same as the slumber of the same body after being awakened, but it is also a manifestation of the immortal attribute. ”

"In other words, gods can be killed?"

"Yes. Moreover, it is easier to kill the gods than to seal them or put them to sleep. ”

"Why!?"

Charlotte's conclusion once again confused Charlize,

"Isn't it generally more difficult to kill?"

"How is it possible? It's always easier to destroy than to build. ”

Charlotte held up a memory,

"If you don't believe me, think about it, when the police catch criminals, is it easier to shoot them or capture them alive?"

"This ......"

"As long as the psychological barrier is overcome, killing people only requires a knife and a gentle cut on a large artery. And what about arresting people?"

Charlize was silent, Charlotte's analogy reminded her of something bad......

"In short, it is easier for the gods to kill them. ”

Charlotte also noticed that something was wrong with the girl, and he hurriedly changed the subject,

"In particular, many gods have obvious weaknesses. Human faith gives them immortality, but it also gives them weaknesses that they cannot get rid of. ”

"Are you saying that as long as the believers in God feel that there is any weakness in the gods, what weaknesses will they have?"

Charlize was indeed attracted by Charlotte's words, and the latter nodded,

"Yes. For example, if Achilles in Homer's epic poem is considered a god, then his heels must be his death hole. ”

"Achilles' heel?"

"That's right!"

"But according to you, it is not difficult to kill a god, and it only takes faith to give birth to a god, so shouldn't something like this happen often in this world?

Charlize couldn't imagine the existence of a large number of gods in this world, and she felt that Charlotte must be bragging.

In this regard, Charlotte smiled wryly - in fact, this question, he also asked the old ghost at the beginning,

"Sally, are you misunderstanding something?"

Charlotte directly read what the old ghost told him at the beginning,

"The fact that gods are born or awaken from their slumber does not mean that they will exist in the form of living beings. ”

"In fact, most of the gods, even when they are active, are invisible and intangible. They're more like a mousetrap or a rule that if you don't trigger them, they'll just wait there. ”

The metaphor was very vivid, and Charlize instantly understood,

"In other words, the appearance of the painted skin is actually due to some of Judy's actions that triggered the reaction of the evil god, so he created the painted skin based on Judy's appearance?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"Moreover, after entering the modern society, people's faith has become weaker and weaker. Although in this world, except for a few countries—"

Speaking of this, Charlotte suddenly paused,

Most of the countries, with the exception of a few countries, are dominated by theism, but this does not mean that the faith is religious enough. ”

"People believe in science, and they believe in gods, which means they don't fully believe in both. ”

In fact, the more one knows about the world, the weaker his belief in the gods becomes. ”

- At the very least, the more knowledge you have, the more you react, which is true to the gods.

Of course, Charlotte didn't say this, but Charlize probably understood what he meant.

"You're saying that modern people are not religious enough to offer enough faith to the gods, so the gods can only sleep?"

That's pretty much what it means. ”

"But what about the three major religions?"

Charlize still couldn't believe Charlotte's explanation,

"They have hundreds of millions of believers, so don't they have enough faith?"

"Three major religions!?"

Charlotte scoffed,

From a religious point of view, this monotheism may be progressive, but for the gods it is outright suicide. ”

"Suicide? Why?"

For the simpler and clearer the role of the gods, the easier it is to manifest, or the easier it is to be born. ”

"What about God, who rules almost everything?"

"It's almost impossible to manifest at all, no matter how much faith is consumed, and—"

"Caring about everything is equivalent to not caring about anything, and even if such a god is really born, it will not affect the world at all. What's more—"

Charlotte smiled mysteriously,

"There is also a legend. Sally, do you know the Spear of Longinus?"

"Of course. The gun that crucified Jesus. ”

It is said that the real spear of Longinus was always in the possession of a mysterious group of men, who immediately went to crucify Jesus again whenever he was reborn through faith. ”

“What！？”

Charlize was dumbfounded,

"And this kind of thing, are you kidding!?"

"Of course!"

Charlotte smiled, but remembered the look on the old ghost's face when he told him the joke......

"The reason why I mention the spear of Longinus is to tell you that what can kill gods in the corresponding legends, as long as it is used properly, can really kill gods!"

Charlotte finally concluded.

"So, does that the gun you said you were waiting for in the first place is something that can kill the evil god in the legend?"

Charlize finally remembered the previous question at this time, but Charlotte shook her head,

"Not really. After all, not every god's story and legend has a tool that can kill him. ”

"That gun is a universal god-killing tool. ”

"Universal?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte smiled evilly at the corner of her mouth,

"And that gun, it's John Hinckley's gun!"
