Chatty Hollywood

Piercing male! ?

For Charlotte, who has studied a lot of ghost knowledge and history, this title is not unfamiliar——

Dracula!

"Son of the Dragon" in Romanian, the famous Archduke Vlad in history.

Charlotte naturally knows the prototype of this vampire, but——

"I've never seen a real vampire!"

"That's normal."

"Al Pacino" nodded,

"Because a vampire is not a ghost in the true sense. He is transformed by a living person swallowing a ghost into his body - he is neither a living person nor a ghost."

"I see!"

Charlotte suddenly realized,

"This is more difficult to achieve than turning a living person into a ghost!"

"So true vampires are very rare and vary in characteristics and abilities."

Saying, "Al Pacino" while giving examples,

"Like Vlad, or Elizabeth Bartoli."

"The countess who bathed in the blood of young girls?"

Charlize, who was hiding in his subconscious, was also a little surprised.

"Is she really a vampire too!?"

"You can't believe everything the ghosts say!"

Charlotte warned the girl in her mind, and then pointed at the still silly Keanu Reeves standing behind "Al Pacino\

,""So, you are saying that the curse-like power on Keanu Reeves was left by Archduke Vlad, or the vampire Dracula?"

"This should be."

"Al Pacino" nodded,

"Since he has now exceeded the limit of human lifespan and turned into half a ghost, let's call him the ghost name Dracula!"

Having said this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face,

"It was by following the power of my old friend Dracula that I found this place - the vanity and other emotions mentioned before only amplified the fluctuations of power, making it easier for me to perceive it."

"I see."

Charlotte nodded to show her understanding, then asked another question,

"But why are you doing this? According to you, there is a contractual relationship between Dracula and you, right?"

"But Dracula broke the contract!"

"Al Pacino" had an angry look on his face,

"Anyone who breaks a contract with me after signing it is my enemy!"

"Breaking the contract!?"

Charlotte didn’t really believe it,

"The contract you are talking about is one that has been enchanted, right? How can such a contract be violated?"

"Of course! Even my contract has loopholes that can be exploited!"

Speaking of this, "Al Pacino" sounded quite annoyed,

"That guy Dracula was still alive when he signed the contract with me, and after I fulfilled his wish for him—"

"He swallowed other ghosts and became neither a living person nor a ghost!"

Charlotte understood;

"It is neither a ghost nor a living person. In the face of such a strange existence, even a magic contract cannot be guaranteed to be effective. Having said that, since contracts and wishes are mentioned, are you a devil?"

"I won't tell you!"

"Al Pacino" waved his hand with a mysterious smile on his face,

"But if you insist on calling me that, I won't deny it."

"All right!"

Charlotte thought thoughtfully for a moment,

"Then you can always tell me about Dracula's wish that you want to fulfill for him, right? Isn't he your enemy now?"

"That's true!"

The tone of "Al Pacino's" words was quite strange - he seemed to have some plan,

"It's not impossible to tell you. To put it simply, he wants his enemies to be afraid of him!"

"Fear?"

Charlotte smiled playfully,

"For the ghost, this is indeed a relatively easy wish to come true - so according to the contract, what price does he need to pay you?"

"Lots of sacrifices!"

"Al Pacino" grinded his teeth, the expression on his face looked eerie,

"A large number of sacrifice rituals in which living people were tortured to death. This is where the nickname Dracula or Vlad the Impaler came from."

"Did Archduke Vlad's tyranny in history turn out to be a sacrifice to you?"

Charlotte nodded,

"This does explain some problems. But according to your statement, didn't he fulfill his contract with you?"

"Far from enough!"

"Al Pacino" growled,

"Furthermore, according to our contract, this kind of sacrifice must be maintained once a year, but later, he violated the contract after devouring other ghosts!"

"Then his enemies will no longer be afraid of him, right?"

"That's natural!"

"Al Pacino" laughed sinisterly,

"I removed the magic power attached to him, and his original terrifying image in the eyes of the enemy disappeared."

"So, in 1476 AD, he was defeated by the Ottoman Turkish army, which he had repeatedly defeated?"

Recalling the history she had learned when studying ghost knowledge, Charlotte finally understood the hidden meaning.

"However, according to your statement, didn't he become half human and half ghost? It was not him who was killed by the Ottoman Turks!?"

"That's not true."

"Al Pacino" shook his head,

"That was indeed Dracula! However, he who had become a half-ghost at that time would not actually die - the so-called "killing" was just the completion of the next step in his transformation."

“The next step in transformation?”

Charlotte didn't understand, and "Al Pacino" said angrily,

“He wants to be reincarnated as a god—a Wallachian or Romanian god!”

"That's a really big wish!"

Charlotte couldn't help but sigh,

"Did he succeed?"

"Only half the battle."

"Al Pacino" showed blatant sarcasm on his face,

"In Romania, he can indeed be said to be a patron saint, but in other places in the world-"

"He is a demon and a vampire!"

Charlotte nodded, then suddenly realized something,

"The reason why Dracula became synonymous with vampires is related to many literary works. Is there any -"

"I just talked to a few young people about the story of Dracula. "

"Al Pacino" Pacino shrugged, with a look of reminiscence on his evil smile.

"That was in 1816. That year, the weather was always abnormal, and the whole summer was spent in cold storms——"

——The year without summer!

Charlotte explained to Charlize in her mind——

——Affected by the massive eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia in 1815, the global weather in 1816 was severely abnormal, and most areas in the northern hemisphere were affected, so that year was also called the year without summer.

And if there is no year of summer——

Charlotte suddenly remembered the history he had studied, and interrupted "Al Pacino" and said,

"The young people you are talking about are not the Shelleys and Byron, are they?"
