Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 400: Suicide (Chapter 400)

The phantom of Keanu Reeves-looking Constantine created by Charlotte is actually a pure magical creation.

He borrowed the emotional power of the audience at the premiere to create the phantom of Constantine who could fight for him.

In fact, in the last part of the movie, he will specifically set up an action scene where Constantine rides against a thousand people, which is also related to this——

In that adrenaline-fueled battle, he demonstrated all the exorcism methods Constantine had used in previous movies.

This not only made the climax at the end of the movie exciting, but also made Constantine's ability leave a deeper impression in the hearts of the audience.

That's why he picked the right moment and triggered the first embrace curse transferred from Keanu Reeves just after the battle on the big screen.

——If Dracula who released the curse does not appear, then Charlotte will take advantage of the end of the movie to make the curse completely dissipate.

——And if Dracula shows up to stop him, he will fall into Charlotte's trap again, and he will summon multiple Constantines to besiege him at the most opportune time...

You must know that the exorcism treasures used by Constantine were not completely fabricated.

——They all have historical prototypes.

Now with the release of Hellraiser , they do have some demon-exorcizing powers.

Of course, Charlotte relies on more than just these -

"According to the setting in the movie, this is Constantine's home - in this room, he stored dozens of gallons of holy water for emergencies."

Charlotte smiled a little sinisterly;

"In the real world, making holy water is not that easy, and it doesn't have much effect on ghosts like you, but in this world -"

"I'd be pretty weakened by the holy water, wouldn't I?"

Although Dracula didn't know how Charlotte set up the attributes of this fantasy world, he had his own attributes changed by literary works, and he did have lingering fears about this method of killing people without blood.

"It seems that you are indeed well prepared."

Dracula thought for a moment and simply put away his sharp fangs.

"But since you are so well prepared, why don't you take action immediately when I show up? Is it impossible? Or do you have any other requirements?"

As a hero who once ruled a country, Dracula was not just a man of brute force.

In fact, many times, he can also solve problems with words and words.

Just like the famous saying of the French cardinal who was active more than 100 years after him -

"The pen is mightier than the sword!"

Now, Dracula realized that the seemingly confident man in front of him might not actually intend to start a war with him.

Therefore, he planned to ask the other party about his plans.

However, Charlotte's answer was completely beyond his expectation.

"Actually, I just want to know if you still have any plans to survive or exist!"

"What!? Are you crazy?"

"Isn't it?"

Charlotte shrugged.

"You originally swallowed ghosts or gods and wanted to become the patron saint of your country at the time, Wallachia, right?"

"...That's right."

"But now, the country Wallachia no longer exists!"

Charlotte sighed;

"And you don't know what Wallachia, which encompasses the past, and Romania, which regards you as a hero, has become now, is totally unknown to you, right?"

——In the 1990s, with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the entire Eastern Europe region fell into turmoil and chaos.

The economic systems of many countries like Romania that were originally part of the Soviet bloc have collapsed.

The rapidly declining living standards have forced Romanians to sell themselves to survive, and they even got the nickname "European Women's Branch"...

This era is such a coexistence of light and shadow——

Echoing the American empire at noon,

It is precisely the miserable wind and cold rain that Yuan Su related to the country.

Charlotte realized that this was a weakness of Dracula and deliberately provoked him.

You know, according to the information leaked by Xu Fu, Dracula's original purpose of devouring ghosts was to become the patron saint of Wallachia or Romania.

And now...

"Without the backdrop of hell, how can there be the glory of heaven?"

Dracula murmured to himself,

"His principles are always right!"

"Him!?"

Charlotte's eyes narrowed.

In his original plan, he hoped to use the vampire's own characteristics to let Dracula kill himself.

After all, after hundreds of years of literary and artistic processing, immortal vampires have acquired an extremely peculiar characteristic of seeking death——

They can live forever, but they cannot endure the emptiness of eternal life. Just experiencing more than a hundred years of vicissitudes of life can often make them mentally overwhelmed.

——To put it simply, vampires have a body that can live forever, but they do not have a spirit that is strong enough to support immortality.

This is a common tendency in literary works about vampires, and since the 1990s, most of the classic movies about vampires have also followed this tone.

Whether it's "400 Years of Blood" or "Interview with the Vampire", the vampires in them all have a vague tendency to self-destruct.

Charlotte felt that this was actually a Achilles heel deliberately created by Xu Fu for Dracula.

You know, Xu Fu, as a half-ghost who has existed for more than two thousand years, is very cunning.

If Charlotte hadn't combined what the old ghost taught him before, dug out the opponent's background, and then found the opponent's weakness, I'm afraid there would be nothing that could be done to him.

And would such a cunning Xu Fu just turn Dracula, who had stolen his power, into a vampire who couldn't see the sun and give up?

After careful study, Charlotte felt that Xu Fu had always influenced the entire development history of vampire literature in a hidden form.

He deliberately guided the countless creators of vampire literature to inject the world-weary and self-destructive genes into vampires.

This has indeed formed a unique vampire culture, but correspondingly, it has completely distorted the image of vampires in the minds of the world.

——How could Dracula, who originally had the title of "The Impaler" and commanded the Wallachian army to resist the Turkish attack, have any tendency to self-destruct?

——The tendency to destroy others may be greater.

However, after hundreds of years of deliberate guidance by Xu Fu, those vampire literature with a self-destructive and world-weary style will definitely influence Dracula's heart in a subtle way.

——After all, things like ghosts and monsters rely on the human heart to exist, and they are bound to be affected by the human heart.

Now, has this former "son of the dragon" become as fragile and fragile as the vampires in countless vampire literature?

Anyway, Charlotte thought she could try it along the road paved by Xu Fu.

"With my level of rhetoric, I might be able to directly destroy Dracula! Even if that doesn't work, at least it can significantly reduce his will to survive!"

As a master of deception, Charlotte is very confident in her ability to deceive.

In fact, he just mentioned the current situation in Romania precisely to dishearten Dracula.

——You know, Dracula's wish to become a ghost is actually to protect Wallachia or Romania.

The reality of this world now can be said to be a disillusionment for him!

——This is definitely a good reason to commit suicide!

However, upon hearing Dracula's last words, Charlotte changed her mind.

"Can you tell me who He is?"

he asked directly.
