Chatty Hollywood

In the windmill of Sleepy Hollow, Katrina, no, Alexis woke up.

"This kind of body that has to act according to the plot is really terrible!"

Miss Ghost muttered in her heart.

In this world of the "Sleepy Hollow" movie, although Katrina's stepmother is scary, she is not so scary that Alexis, who already knows the plot, will faint.

What really forced her to faint was the inertia of the plot.

Just like now, she knew what was going on, but still had to listen to Katrina's stepmother tell her crime experience——

It turned out that because Katrina's father was too timid to run away, he did not see the murder of her stepmother.

In fact, it was not the stepmother who was killed at all, but Sarah, the maid wearing the stepmother's clothes.

As the person who actually controls the Headless Horseman, Katrina's stepmother is completely in no danger when facing the Headless Horseman.

And the reason why she did all this deliberately was for revenge.

She is the former owner of the old house where Katrina's family lived before.

——That is, people from the Archer family.

Because of the previous persecution from the old Van Galle family, they were forced to move out of their ancestral home, which indirectly led to the death of her mother.

This made her want revenge from a young age on the Vangarle family, and later on the Vantasso family who lived in their ancestral home.

It happened that the Headless Horseman, who was still alive at the time, was being hunted and met her and her sister in the jungle.

——They are the two little sisters collecting firewood that the Headless Horseman met before his death.

After the knight died, she secretly dug out the knight's head, hoping to control him to avenge herself.

Later, she even sneaked into the Fantasso family, first killing Katrina's mother, and then she became the new Mrs. Fantasso.

Under such circumstances, she wanted revenge but also had an unsatisfied desire, so she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the property of Van Galle and Fantasso.

This is also the reason why the Headless Horseman killed Van Garle and his son and the widow Winship step by step, then eliminated all the insiders, and finally killed Katrina's father.

——In this way, she can use inheritance to pool the properties of two related families together.

As for the priests, doctors, magistrates, and notaries who knew something about the situation—

The priest had an affair with her, so naturally he would not expose her due to the charm of her beauty;

But the doctor was caught having an affair with her maid Sarah and was threatened to shut up;

As for the Sheriff and the Notary, these two people were timid to begin with, so they were simply frightened.

"So, now you have everything..."

According to what we know about the plot, Alexis, who plays Katrina, said the lines she was supposed to say.

"No, you have it all."

Katrina's stepmother said with sarcasm.

It turns out that according to Katrina's father's will, his first heir is Katrina.

——In other words, Katrina's stepmother must obtain the property she dreamed of after Katrina's death.

Therefore, Katrina must die!

*********

"This woman is terrible!"

After understanding Katrina's stepmother's plan, Diana gasped.

Kate beside her didn't care much about this.

From the perspective of the detective who has experienced many horrific cases, this is essentially just a serial murder case caused by inheritance.

However, because of the introduction of the fantasy element of the headless horseman, it became confusing.

Now that the truth of the case is revealed, it’s time to see how Ikabu heroically saves the beauty——

Sure enough, Ikabu, who noticed the truth behind, arrived in time, and with the help of little Masbo who followed secretly, he rescued Katrina from the hands of her stepmother.

But soon, the Headless Horseman appeared.

In order to avoid the headless horseman, Ichabu, Katrina, and little Masbo hid in the windmill.

But facing the powerful Headless Horseman, the door of the mill and various obstacles are like paper.

Even if they later used the flammable and explosive properties of flour dust to detonate the entire windmill, they only blocked the Headless Horseman for a short time.

Although the three of them took the opportunity to escape a short distance in a carriage, they were quickly caught up by the Headless Horseman, and Ichabu was forced to fight with him on the carriage carriage.

“The fight scene on the roof of the car was wonderfully shot!”

Watching a sequence of scenes in which Depp's Ichabu barely manages to fight off the Headless Horseman with a little help from luck, Kenneth Turan felt pretty good.

He had never thought that Charlotte Booth, a new director, would be so knowledgeable about shooting action scenes.

"It seems that this guy is indeed very suitable to be a commercial film director."

Kenneth felt like he was watching the rise of a new commercial film director.

***********

However, the thoughts of the audience outside the big screen have nothing to do with Alexis in the other world.

After temporarily escaping from the pursuit of the Headless Horseman, she played Katrina, as required by the script, and came to the vicinity of the Tree of Death with Ichabu and Little Masbo.

At this time, Katrina's stepmother appeared again.

She was on horseback, gun pointed at Alexis, like a cat playing with a mouse.

——At this time, according to the plot, it was Ichabu who bravely stood in front of Katrina, played by Alexis, and blocked the bullet for her.

However, Ichabu, standing next to Alexis, remained motionless.

"No one can save the dead!"

What came out of the stepmother's mouth were no longer normal lines.

And if this meant anything, all the hairs on Alexis's body suddenly went up.

--Danger!

Without the other party saying anything, Alexis, who had experienced many supernatural events with Charlotte and Charlize, immediately realized something was wrong.

Just as she was about to escape, the other party's gun rang out——

"boom!!"

Alexis closed her eyes subconsciously.

Miss Ghost thought she was dead!

——Although, as a ghost, she doesn't know if she can die again.

However, for a long time, she didn't feel any pain in her whole body.

——Did he miss?

Alexis opened her eyes and saw a wisp of smoke rising from Ikabu's chest.

"Why did you hit him?"

Alexis was in a daze.

Also in a daze was Katrina's stepmother.

——Although Alexis felt that it was definitely no longer the normal character, at this time, she couldn't call him anything else.

"Katrina's stepmother" was also stunned——

"How come this bullet can turn!? I've obviously cast witchcraft on it!?"

"Because this book is specially designed to protect Katrina. No, it should be said to be a protective circle to protect Alexis!"

Ichabu, who was supposed to be shot down, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smirk that Alexis found very familiar.

"All real harm to her will be deflected to this book."

As he spoke, he opened his shirt, and on his chest was the book "Spells and Magic of the Supernatural World". There was a small hole made by a bullet in the book, and there was still smoke coming out.

The next moment, the green smoke suddenly turned into several silver chains, rolling violently in all directions.
