Chatty Hollywood

After listening to Charlotte's plan for "Monsters, Inc.", both Old Gun and Addison Young fell into deep thought.

This is obviously a huge plan.

Even though they have seen all kinds of evidence now and no longer doubt Charlotte's words, the two of them are still a little uncomfortable facing such a huge plan.

——Although in Hollywood, most successful stars, directors and producers have their own companies, this "company" in Charlotte is obviously not ordinary.

"Actually, you don't have to think so much."

Charlotte said,

"Spells and the like are essentially not much different from other technologies. It's not difficult for those who know it, but not for those who are difficult - just think of the company I want to set up as a production company with unique technology patents."

"..."

——It’s not that simple!

Although I really want to complain like this, when I think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

Both Lao Qiang and Addison Young were moved by Charlotte's statement, especially Lao Qiang. The look on his face suddenly became much more relaxed.

"What you said does make sense. At least I personally think it is quite interesting to join this kind of company. But, can I tell Annika?"

Charlotte shook her head;

"It's best not to. Just like a unique skill, the fewer people know about it, the better. Besides, things like magic are a bit unbelievable."

"you're right!"

Lao Qiang nodded.

"However, Annika has been working with us as a makeup artist. When the time comes in the future, it is not impossible to tell her."

Charlotte opened her mouth again,

"But when you tell her, you have to listen to me."

"All right!"

Lao Qiang shrugged,

"Actually, it's not a bad thing not to know these things - anyway, I think I will have nightmares tonight!"

“That’s when you need agave!”

Charlotte took out a bottle of golden wine.

"good idea!"

The good-drinking old gun directly picked up the cup.

On the other side, Addison Yang, who had been thinking silently, finally figured it out.

"I'll join in too!"

"Then we can celebrate!"

Charlotte raised the wine bottle in her hand...

*********

"You drink kvass while celebrating with others. You are so insincere!"

After sending Old Gun and Addison Yang away, Alexis held the remaining half glass of tequila in her hand and looked at Charlotte speechlessly.

Charlotte shrugged.

“I’ve stopped drinking since I met Sally!”

"Yes, yes, thanks to Sally, otherwise you would be an out-and-out bastard!"

Alexis cursed softly, and then she thought of another question,

"If you tell them directly like this, what if they leak it?"

"How many people will believe it?"

Charlotte was very calm,

"For this kind of thing, if you don't put it in front of your eyes, everyone will just laugh after hearing it and won't take it seriously at all. If it is too serious, there is a possibility of being sent to a mental hospital."

"indeed."

Alexis thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the Malcolm Nursing Home? From what you just said, have you seen the culprit?"

"So be it!"

Charlotte nodded, and then told Alexis in detail...

"It's Francis Farmer!"

Because they were repelled by the dragon's power, neither River nor Alexis could enter the Malcolm Sanatorium. Therefore, this was the first time Miss Valkyrie had heard about what Charlotte said.

"She is really pitiful. She has experienced so many miserable things while she was alive, and she can't find peace even after she dies."

"To be precise, the Francis Farmer in Malcolm Sanitarium was not the Farmer who died in 1970, but the Francis who was lobotomized at that time."

"Is there a difference between the two?"

Alexis felt a little dizzy being surrounded by Charlotte.

"She has no experience in the second half of her life!"

Charlotte gets right to the heart of the matter.

"So that's it."

Miss Valkyrie understood what Charlotte meant, and then she remembered one of Charlotte's bad habits——

"What you said this time were not lying, right?"

"What should I say?"

Charlotte scratched her head.

His action shocked Alexis.

"She's in such a miserable state, and you still lie to her!?"

"The more miserable the fate, the easier it is to cheat!"

After saying something to ask Alexis to beat him up, Charlotte explained,

"I did not lie to Frances Farmer this time, I just induced her a little!"

"Induction!?"

Alexis' face suddenly darkened. She has experienced Charlotte's so-called "induction".

"What did you induce her to do?"

"That's the thing about her being Frances Farmer!"

Charlotte said solemnly.

These words made Alexis a little confused.

"Didn't you say she was Frances Farmer? But she wasn't?"

"Of course she is—I told you, I didn't lie this time."

Charlotte frowned and explained,

"But a person can be many things."

"Like you are a successful commercial film director, an exorcist who knows magic, and you are Sally's boyfriend?"

"That's understandable."

Charlotte nodded.

"Then does Francis Farmer have other identities?"

"Yes, didn't I say that-"

Charlotte paused,

"She is the remnant soul of Francis Farmer, the aggregation of consciousness of a large number of remnant souls, and the dragon's consciousness itself."

"Is there something wrong here?"

Alexis felt that there was something in Charlotte's words.

"certainly."

Charlotte explained,

"The coexistence of multiple identities for us ordinary people is not a problem. Even if we value which one we value more, it will not affect the other identities."

"Just like even if you value your identity as an exorcist more, it won't affect the fact that you are a director, and you are still Sally's boyfriend?"

Seeing Charlotte nod, Alexis understood.

"Will Francis Farmer's three identities interfere with each other and be unable to exist at the same time?"

"That's understandable."

Charlotte explained,

"She is a remnant soul, and she occupies a dominant position in the aggregation of remnant souls, which allows her to control the dragon and become the dragon's consciousness to a certain extent."

"-But it's a very delicate balance."

"She just needs to change her biases a little bit to tip the balance."

"It can be said that her own choice can determine who she is."

"——It's a dragon, an aggregation of remnant souls, or Francis Farmer himself!"

"..."

Alexis was completely confused by Charlotte's weird logic. However, she still roughly understood what the other party meant——

Frances Farmer's understanding of herself as a ghost will affect what she is, and this will probably affect some of Charlotte's plans!

"To put it bluntly, the butt determines the head!"

Charlotte put it simply,

"If she believes that she is a dragon, then I will not get her cooperation in many of my methods - so I need to induce her and make her believe that she is Francis Farmer!"
