Chatty Hollywood

Before actually seeing the remnant soul of Francis Farmer, Charlotte's psychological expectations were actually very optimistic.

First of all, there are dragons in the underground of Malcolm Sanatorium. The ghosts outside can't get in, and the ghosts inside can't get out, which limits the scope of the problem.

——Even if the ghosts here are really difficult to deal with, the worst case scenario is just asking the people here to evacuate.

Secondly, through several previous trials and the situation reported to him by Sam Fell, he deduced that the ghosts here were actually a group of remnant souls created by lobotomies.

Although the cause is rather strange, normally speaking, this kind of remnant soul cannot be offended by ordinary people, and will completely dissipate if not careful, which means it can only show off its power in front of children and some patients.

Charlotte didn't think she could handle such a group of guys with her own abilities.

Therefore, he was very confident before using the movie "Red Ling Jie" to lure the other party out.

However, the moment he saw Francis Farmer on the movie screen, he realized that he had missed a possibility——

Indeed, just looking at Francis here, he is not actually that powerful.

Although she can now be said to be the aggregation of a large group of remnant souls, no matter how you say it, she is still just a remnant soul.

Although the opponent has a lot of power by occupying the dragon's consciousness to a certain extent, to Charlotte, this is nothing.

He has plenty of ways to make the other party disappear.

But the question is, is this the end?

The biggest problem here at Malcolm Sanitarium has never been the soul-leaking syndrome, let alone Francis Farmer or those remnant souls...

These are just appearances.

——The real problem is the dragon underground.

Things like dragons either sleep motionless, but once they take action, they will inevitably have a huge impact.

In particular, this is a dragon that grew up quickly by absorbing the residual souls stripped from the souls of living people due to accidents.

——You must know that if you tame a beast as a pet, it is best not to let it eat live food.

Otherwise, the ferocity of the beast will be difficult to control.

And the food of this dragon can be said to be the souls of living people.

——Although only a small part of it.

But the human soul is fragile, and if just such a small part is missing, it can easily lead to dementia or more serious consequences.

As for looking to Francis Farmer for control—

"Although you or your aggregate have certain thinking abilities, it is the instinct of most resentful ghosts to induce living people to reenact their own death methods. With the addition of dragon instinct, it is difficult for you to resist. of."

"Dragon instinct?"

Francis Farmer was stunned when Charlotte said that.

"But we are the ones controlling the dragon now!"

"That's different!"

Charlotte frowned and thought for a long time before she came up with a suitable explanation.

"Let's put it this way - people can choose to be vegetarian or meat-eating, and they can choose to drink alcohol or water, but they absolutely cannot not eat or drink water. This is the instinct of survival."

"For a dragon, absorbing soul fragments is equivalent to eating. It is its instinct - even if you can control part of the dragon's power, you can't make it starve!"

"this……"

Francis Farmer was stunned, but Charlotte continued to explain,

"A dragon born according to normal pathways has very low requirements for "eating" and only needs to absorb a small amount of soul fragments."

"Such a request can be fulfilled as long as life thrives on this land - the normal birth, old age, illness and death of life are enough to produce enough soul fragments for it to absorb."

"But the problem is that this dragon was born in an abnormal way - it was born by absorbing the remaining souls of living people, rather than the fragments of souls that have completely lost their memory and are close to dissipating."

"——Its "eating" requirements are probably much higher! And they will get higher and higher!"

"Higher and higher!?"

On the movie screen, Frances seemed to understand what Charlotte meant, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"The desire is hard to satisfy, and the appetite will get bigger and bigger. This is not just for humans - dragons are the same!"

Charlotte looked at Francis Farmer with a very serious face.

"Since 1982, when you really got together, in the past ten years or so, in the past ten years, more and more patients have eventually become dementia in Malcolm Nursing Home, right?"

Francis Farmer didn't answer.

Charlotte actually didn't need the other party to answer. He said to himself,

"Although there is a doctor-patient confidentiality agreement, with my ability, it is not difficult to investigate these privately - at least the results I saw are that the dementia patients in the Malcolm Nursing Home may be suffering from soul-leaving syndrome, and they are missing a trace of their souls. There are more and more people.”

"And when the patients in Malcolm Sanitarium cannot satisfy the dragon's appetite, it will probably drive you to the outside world to bring back the souls of living people to make food for it!"

Having said this, Charlotte showed a sarcastic smile,

"On the surface, it is true that you remnant souls dominate the dragon's consciousness, but it's like an old question in philosophy - does consciousness determine matter, or does matter determine consciousness?"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Dragon is a fantasy creature that spends most of its time sleeping. The instinct of the body is far greater than the power of consciousness - this means that you control the dragon's consciousness, but the dragon's instinct is controlling you!"

"When its body needs new remnant souls as food, you remnant souls that occupy its consciousness will instinctively create a new soul separator, or a soul separator."

"Although it takes a long time for a dragon to absorb a remnant soul, and it can be rescued during this period, as the dragon grows, this time will become faster and faster, which means that its appetite will become bigger and bigger. ——”

"So, we raised an evil dragon that can eat people's souls!?"

Frances Farmer's face turned pale when she heard this, but she still had a little doubt about Charlotte's words.

"You didn't say that on purpose to trick us into doing what you said and be purified by you, right?"

"It won't be much trouble to purify you!"

Charlotte looked like "You're thinking too much\

,""The reason why I tell you this is because once the control and interference of your remnant soul consciousness is lost, the dragon will act more according to the body's instinct-"

"It grew up by eating and absorbing the souls of living people. What do you think it will do once it lets go of its instincts?"

Francis Farmer turned even paler.

She was silent for a while, then spoke with some difficulty,

"So what do you want us to do?"

"Help me tame the dragon!"

Charlotte made her request straightforward.
