Chatty Hollywood

However, Charlotte herself couldn't actually say anything to Alexis.

After all, he himself likes the coffee in this shop.

The owner is a Russian immigrant who claims to have worked for an old enemy of the CIA. He said that his coffee was modeled after the famous Lubyanka coffee.

Charlotte didn’t know what Lubyanka coffee tasted like, but he felt that the coffee in this shop was indeed unique.

"call!"

After taking a big sip of coffee, Charlotte sighed and then said to the little boy who was already drinking a milkshake in front of her,

"As you can see, Sam, we are currently conducting an investigation about ghosts nearby. You should live nearby, right? Do you know if you can provide us with some useful information?"

"Useful information?"

Sam shook his head,

"Although I can see ghosts, it's my limit to not be afraid. Although I tried talking to them, they basically ignored me."

"This is normal."

Charlotte nodded,

"After all, ordinary ghosts have no ability to think when they are not possessed by people. If you go to talk to them, they will naturally ignore you."

"it seems to be like this."

Sam nodded, then felt something was wrong,

"However, I met a large group of ghosts a few times. They were talking and laughing, and they looked very happy. It's not like they couldn't think!"

"A horde of ghosts!?"

But Charlotte noticed this word all of a sudden,

"How many? Dozens?"

"I didn't count carefully."

Sam shook his head,

"There are quite a few anyway. I see them gathering together,

It was like a community gathering. "

“Community party!?”

Charlotte's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Ghost market!?"

"Ghost...city?"

Neither Sam nor Alexis, nor even River, who was always invisible, could not quite understand the words coming out of Charlotte's mouth.

Charlotte didn't explain. He then asked Sam another question,

"Do ghosts have a fixed meeting place?"

"fixed."

Sam nodded,

"The few times I saw them were around the Malcolm Nursing Home."

"Yeah?"

Charlotte was noncommittal and asked another question,

"Sam, do you think there is any pattern to their party time?"

"law?"

The little boy shook his head,

"I don't know about this. But I think I can always see it every one or two months."

"Yeah?"

Charlotte nodded thoughtfully,

"Okay, thank you very much this time, Sam! For this matter, please remember not to--"

"Don't tell anyone else, right?"

The little boy pointed at his face,

"Do you think anyone would believe such a child who said he could see ghosts? In fact, you are the first living person to believe my words!"

"Because I can see it too!"

Charlotte smiled;

"Goodbye, Sam! I think we'll see each other again in a while."

The little boy waved his hand,

"May the Force be with you, Mr. Director!"

"..."

*********

"I didn't expect that little guy Sam Fehr is a Star Wars fan!"

On the way back, Alexis felt a little funny, but Charlotte kept her brows furrowed.

"Is this troublesome, Mr. Director?"

In desperation, Ruifan, who felt something was wrong, had no choice but to ask.

"It's not clear right now."

Charlotte shook her head;

"The only thing that is certain is that what we encountered this time is not something that can be suppressed purely by magic."

"Can you explain it?"

Alexis was also interested;

"If nothing else, why can't River and I enter the Malcolm Nursing Home today? I remember that when you and Sally came together, I also went in with you!"

"This involves the nature of ghosts."

Charlotte organized the language,

"I said before that ghosts have no brains. Under normal circumstances, they can't even think, right?"

"Yes."

Alexis and River both nodded,

"That's why I was tricked into signing the contract by you."

Alexis was still a little bit upset about what happened at that time.

"that's not important!"

Charlotte waved her hand,

"The important thing is, have you considered what you are relying on to think now?"

"this……"

Both Ruifan and Alexis were stunned.

Indeed, when they were ordinary ghosts, they could think and borrowed other people's brains——

Alexis borrowed Charlize's, while River spent most of the time attached to Depp's.

But after transforming into the Valkyrie, Alexis left Charlize's body, and River stopped possessing Depp for a long time...

“Where are our brains at now?”

Asking this kind of question always makes you feel mentally retarded, but now, both Ruifan and Alexis feel that their brains are not enough.

"To be precise, what you are using now is Cloud Brain."

Charlotte gave a strange explanation,

"Do you know Alaya Consciousness?"

Alexis and River both shook their heads.

"That's a Buddhist way of saying it. Of course, in my case, it may be a little different."

Charlotte pointed to her head,

"Generally speaking, we all believe that everyone's brain consciousness is independent, just like an ordinary computer. But the problem is that computers can be connected to the Internet, but what about the human brain?"

“Could the human brain also be connected?”

Ruifan was a little shocked,

"Like those computers that are connected to the Internet!?"

"It should be said that they have been contacted."

Charlotte frowned and said,

"I suspect that this connection exists from birth. It's just that we don't realize it."

"Bravo!"

Alexis clapped her hands,

"But what does this have to do with where our brains are?"

"Of course it does."

Charlotte tapped her temple with her index finger.

"Because I guess that you, the ghosts and monsters with names in various legends, rely on this network that connects all human brains to think. "

At this point, Charlotte made a summary,

"That's why I talk about Alaya Consciousness and Yun Brain."

"...Can this still happen!?"

River and Alexis were both stunned. They subconsciously wanted to refute, but they felt that Charlotte's words were not unreasonable.

——Indeed, according to various studies, the human brain is not fully developed and has many mysterious areas.

If there really is a network between human brains, and Alexis and the others are hiding in it, then they can indeed use the remaining brain capacity of all humans to think.

——This is the so-called "Cloud Brain" or Alaya Consciousness.

but--

"How to prove all this?"
