Chatty Hollywood

However, things didn't develop as Charlotte expected -

It's not that this incident has nothing to do with Keanu Reeves, but that the other party came to Charlotte before she went to find him.

"I didn't expect that in this age of the end of the law, we can still see living people who are proficient in magic!?"

Standing in front of Charlotte and Charlize is Al Pacino.

——Charlotte has not met this old man very often, but Charlize is now on the same crew with him, so she naturally knows the Oscar-winning actor.

Shortly after Charlotte walked out of Charlize's room, the other party appeared in front of him. Behind him was Keanu Reeves, who had a dull face and was as unconscious as a wooden man.

In this case, Charlotte naturally would not think that the Al Pacino in front of her was real.

"People who are proficient in magic exist in all eras, but ghosts do not appear in all eras."

Charlotte stared intently at "Al Pacino" in front of her,

"Looking at this spell, you shouldn't be some unknown ghost. Can you introduce yourself?"

"As a ghost, take the initiative to tell your true name to a person who is proficient in magic!?"

The other party stretched out his index finger and shook it.

"Although we ghosts are not like living people and have independent brains, I am not so "brainless"!"

At this point, the other party raised his eyebrows.

"Just like you, Charlize Theron, you won't tell me who the exorcist is who is now in your body, right?"

"Has it been seen?"

Charlotte wasn't actually surprised by this.

Since the other party could find that he was not controlled by the spell of his dream because of his movement, it was not surprising to find that he had descended directly into Charlize's body.

"You won't be able to "recognize women by smell" like the real Al, right?"

Charlotte looked down at Charlize's body that she was currently using,

He joked.

The other person shrugged and said nothing.

This made Charlotte feel a little bored.

"Can you tell me what attracted you to me?"

Charlotte asked directly,

"Ghosts don't appear for no reason, do they?"

"Of course."

"Al Pacino" nodded,

"We are different from living people. Without something that attracts us, we will not move easily."

"so what?"

"Vanity is undoubtedly my favorite sin."

"Al Pacino" said in a deep tone.

These words seemed to be meaningless, but subconsciously Charlize heard it all at once.

“That’s a line from Al’s John Milton, or the Devil!”

She sighed in her mind,

"So, is the other party really a devil?"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Charlotte comforted Charlize in her mind before speaking to "Al Pacino\

,""Are you saying this line to show that you were attracted to the movie "The Devil's Advocate"? Or is that the original meaning?"

"The original meaning."

"Al Pacino" spread his hands,

"I'm not interested in people's emotions triggered by literary and artistic works. Besides, it's still an unfinished work."

"Yeah?"

Charlotte looked calm on the surface, but secretly her mind was racing.

There is no doubt that the ghost in front of her whose real name is unknown is the most difficult opponent Charlotte has encountered so far.

Not only is the opponent powerful and proficient in magic, but the key point is that he also thinks very clearly.

His words even revealed that he knew that people would be triggered by various emotions due to movies and other literary and artistic works, and that such emotions would accumulate magic power and thus attract ghosts.

——This is beyond the cognitive ability of most ghosts.

Most of the ghosts, including the evil spirits Charlotte has dealt with before, are just instinctively attracted by the magic accumulated in the movie.

——Being able to understand and overcome the instinct of ordinary ghosts to be attracted by magic is enough to show how powerful the opponent is.

Instead of facing this mysterious ghost with strong self-control ability, Charlotte would rather deal with the dragon underground in Malcolm Sanitarium.

——Although the opponent is powerful, he is ultimately confused, allowing Charlotte to make good plans.

And this guy in front of me...

"I appear here out of vanity or jealousy."

"Al Pacino" went on to explain,

"This emotion comes from the guy I'm possessing now, but also from the guy behind me."

He pointed with his thumb at Keanu Reeves, who was standing stupidly behind him, and then pointed at Charlotte.

— or Charlize.

"Last night, these two guys found out what Oscar nomination the girl you are possessing was nominated for. This made them feel very complicated."

"Do you have a complicated mentality?"

Charlotte was not surprised by what "Al Pacino" said.

After all, whether it is luck or public relations factors, Charlize was able to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actress at the age of 20, which is definitely something that other actors will envy and hate.

Even Al Pacino, who has already won an Oscar for Best Actor, might have lamented that "life is scary" when he saw this scene.

What's more, Keanu Reeves, who has always been criticized by film critics for having no acting skills and relying solely on his face for acting!

"Did Charlize's Oscar nomination stimulate their emotions?"

Charlotte guessed,

"But didn't you just say that "vanity is your favorite original sin"? The emotions they were stimulated have nothing to do with vanity, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

"Al Pacino" stretched out his index finger and shook it,

"Whether it's envy, jealousy, admiration, or even a sense of competition, it all needs to be inspired by the pursuit of honor. And isn't this vanity?"

"Right."

Charlotte nodded,

"So, you were attracted by the vanity in their emotions?"

"Yes."

"Nonsense!"

Charlotte refuted unceremoniously,

"According to your logic, how many people in the world are not vain at all? If this kind of emotion alone can attract you, then I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough without millions of clones, right?"

"Oh, have you been discovered?"

"Al Pacino" burst out laughing - it seemed that he was not at all ashamed of being caught lying,

"Indeed, vanity alone cannot attract me. But when you add the things on him, it's completely different!"

He pointed solemnly at Keanu Reeves standing behind him,

"This little guy has the curse of the person who signed the contract with me."

"The person you signed a contract with?"

"You can't be considered a human being now, can you?"

Al Pacino laughed,

"After all, he has existed for hundreds of years, and he should have completely turned into a ghost now!"

"A person who turned into a ghost?"

Charlotte couldn't help but think of the ghost tiger Wei Changhui,

"Can you tell me his name?"

"Okay. But this needs to test your historical knowledge——"

"Al Pacino" had a sly smile on his face,

"When he was alive as an ordinary person, he was called "The Impaler"!"
