Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 498: Hanging Game

"Are you OK?"

Mel Gibson asked Donnie worriedly.

After returning home last night, he immediately asked someone to investigate, and the result was surprising——

First of all, Patrick Jane, a master psychic, does exist. He once solved a strange problem for the crew of "Titanic", and was therefore highly regarded by producer Jon Landau;

Secondly, three murders did occur in this house in Burbank. The theory of Patrick Jane's "haunted house" was not made up out of thin air.

This made Mel Gibson really worried.

Although this stubborn Australian man doesn't really believe in ghosts and gods, he is now worried that there are other problems here.

He rushed over early this morning.

However, so far, apart from not sleeping well, Donnie didn't encounter anything too special.

"Actually, it can't be said that nothing happened."

Donnie said a little embarrassedly,

"Last night, there were some strange noises in the house. I even saw a shadow of a person moving vaguely. But as you know, Mel, you often have various hallucinations when taking drugs, so -"

"So you subconsciously thought it was an illusion and didn't care about it!?"

Mel Gibson doesn't know what to say.

Donnie scratched his head in embarrassment,

"Yes. That's what I felt last night, but when I woke up this morning, I felt something was wrong - after all, I wasn't high last night."

"this……"

Mel Gibson was stunned, but considering the identity of the owner of the house, Patrick Jane, he didn't know whether it was a real ghost or a strange trick arranged by the other party.

In the end, the Australian man could only pat Downey on the shoulder.

"It's fine... By the way, since you weren't frightened by the haunted house, why are you yawning like this now!?"

"...It's a bit addictive."

"Hold it!"

Mel Gibson said angrily.

*********

What the Australian man didn't know was that his good brother Donnie didn't just hear a little strange noise last night.

In fact, Donnie had a nightmare last night. That nightmare seemed to be Downey's past and future——

Acting, taking drugs, getting caught, quitting, the cycle continued until he was finally penniless and living on the streets, and finally died from the cold wind and drug addiction.

This dream was so real that after Donnie woke up, he couldn't distinguish between reality and dream for a while.

However, this dream also strengthened Downey's goal of quitting drugs - after all, dying alone like that was really not the end result he wanted.

However, because Donnie has said similar words to friends who care about him too many times before, he now feels that it is meaningless to say such words again.

He just made up his mind secretly.

**********

Little did Downey know that the unusually realistic dream was actually a spell cast by Charlotte.

After all, as early as when she first traveled to this world, Charlotte could use the ant nest to cast the spell of weaving dreams, so creating a fantasy for Downey now was nothing.

Of course, Charlotte didn't expect to be able to enlighten Downey just by relying on a dream.

After all, drug addiction is not a one-time life choice.

This can be said to be a lifelong struggle, and a temporary rise cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Charlotte used this spell just to make Downey correct his attitude so that he could cooperate with him.

But because Downey was used to the hallucinations caused by taking drugs, he ignored some of the little arrangements he made in this haunted house, which made Charlotte a little depressed——

He was originally planning to take the opportunity to see the embarrassing scene of the "Iron Man" in the future, but now it seems that he has no chance.

However, this will not affect his actual treatment of Downey——

"are you ready,

Mr. Robert Downey Jr.? "

Charlotte, no, it should be said to be Patrick Jane, asked Downey in a "please say your last words" tone.

This tone made Donnie swallow involuntarily.

——If given the choice, Downey might choose to run away. After all, Patrick Jane, the "psychic guru," is a bit scary.

But now, there is no point in retreating.

Donnie nodded a little heavily.

"Then, please stand on the chair over there!"

Patrick Jane pointed to a chair in the corner of the room.

Danny turned his head and looked, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

——There was a knotted rope hanging above the chair!

"This...Patrick——"

Donnie said dryly,

"Are you planning on letting me hang myself?"

"That's not true."

Patrick Jane shrugged.

"I just want you to experience the feeling of death up close - you know, understanding life and death can help people repent and get rid of drug addiction."

"...Okay, it sounds a little bit reasonable."

Downey hesitated, glanced at Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster who had just arrived, and finally nodded.

He walked to the edge of the chair, stepped onto the chair, and then reached out and grabbed the noose in front of him.

"Then what?"

Donnie asked.

"Then stick your neck inside the noose."

"Hello!!"

“It’s part of my therapy too!”

Patrick Jane emphasized.

"……All right!"

Now that the matter is over, Donnie is no longer entangled.

He obediently put his head into the noose—like a desperate man committing suicide.

Patrick Jane on the side, no, Charlotte nodded,

"Please close your eyes!"

Donnie did as he was told.

Then--

Charlotte jumped to Donnie's side and kicked down the chair he had added.

"ah!!!"

The scream came from Jodie Foster on the side.

This time it was not a negotiated deal.

The movie queen also didn't expect that Charlotte actually looked like she wanted to kill Downey directly.

Mel Gibson on the other side was even more shocked and angry.

From the beginning, he felt something was wrong. But under the influence of a strange atmosphere, he never said anything to stop it.

However, now that he saw that the chair under Donnie's feet had been kicked over and was hanging in mid-air like a hanged man struggling, he finally couldn't help it anymore——

The Australian tough guy roared angrily and wanted to rush over to rescue his good brother.

Unexpectedly, no matter how much his beard and hair collapsed, his feet remained motionless.

"How is this going!!?"

Mel Gibson roared in half surprise, half fear.

But Charlotte, who was standing next to Downey, burst out laughing——

"Don't worry, Robert Downey Jr. won't die here!"

While speaking, he patted Donnie's body with his hand, as if he was joking.

However, coupled with the scene next to Donnie hanging in mid-air, his face livid from holding back, and his hands and feet struggling like a dying spider, what he just said was really a bit unconvincing.
