Chatty Hollywood

"trade!!?"

Hearing what Charlotte said, Charlize obviously felt that her brain was not enough——

Although the blond girl didn't understand many of the conversations between Charlotte and Ghost Tiger because she didn't understand Chinese, she still knew that the mysterious yellow-eyed monster in front of her should be a powerful ghost from China who had lived for hundreds of years. It seems to feed on humans, and can enslave the souls of those it eats. Such a monster, the common money women and the like, should be meaningless to it, right?

Could it be—

Charlize looked at Charlotte nervously, hoping that this man, whom she regarded as more than a friend, would not say something like "at the cost of the soul of the woman next to me".

Charlotte didn't expect that the insecurity in Charlize's heart made her wary of him again. After he saw that he made a request for a deal, Ghost Tiger didn't answer, so he continued:

"I know that in your current situation, you don't care about money and power. However, I have something that you will definitely be interested in."

"Tell me!"

There was a little interest in Ghost Tiger's voice.

"You want to regain your strength as a mountain god? I have a way!"

Charlotte released her hole card.

——As mentioned above, the ghost tiger, as a kind of mandrill, was originally a mountain god who was no longer believed in and worshiped by people, and lost most of its power. Although the ghost tiger in front of him was artificially manufactured during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, its essence is no different from other normal mandrills. In this way, it will definitely hope to recover and become a real mountain god.

In fact, for any creature who practiced spells, stronger power and more profound spells were unattainable pursuits. Ghost Tiger was like this, and Charlotte was no exception.

"I have to say, you proposed a transaction that I didn't expect, kid!"

The ghost tiger's eyes were full of yellow light, but his voice was even colder.

"I'm really interested in restoring the power of the mountain god, but I don't think you can do it! Do you think that I eat so many people and turn their souls into ghosts to fill my stomach? I have accumulated After so many years, there is no improvement, so why do you dare to say such a thing?"

"That's because you're fundamentally wrong!"

Charlotte dismissed Ghost Tiger's statement,

"The difference between mandrills and mountain gods lies in people's beliefs and sacrifices, not people's lives and souls. As the saying goes, "Suspicion breeds dark ghosts." The darkness, fear and awe in human hearts are the source of the power of ghosts and gods. But you Isn't it a waste of money to just brutally eat a human being who might bring you the power of awe?"

"this……"

Ghost Tiger seems to be convinced by Charlotte,

"However, I eat those who come here. After others know, shouldn't they be afraid and awed by me? But I have never felt a trace of power."

"That's because they don't even know!"

The corner of Charlotte's mouth showed a bit of ridicule,

"This era is very different from yours. On the surface, people no longer believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. If you eat some people nearby, other people will not be surprised by the mystery as long as they don't see it with their own eyes. Afraid, but only think that this is a missing incident, and even become interested!"

——In particular, this is the hot land of the United States. People here generally have the spirit of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to travel to the mountains".

"ah!!!?"

Now, Guihu was a little dumbfounded.

Now he understood. Although he has great power, in this era when most people don't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, no matter how many people he kills, people will never believe in his existence. It cannot provide him with strength.

"So, do you have any solution to this problem?"

He finally understood why Charlotte asked for a trade.

"certainly!"

Seeing that after talking for a long time, the other party finally took the bait, Charlotte immediately started talking,

"As I said just now, in this era, on the surface—"

He raised his hands to his ears in a gesture of quotation marks,

"—People no longer believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. However, in the depths of their hearts, where they do not know, the place of ghosts and gods is still preserved. This is human nature. The difference is that the darkness of the past In the old days, people fantasized about the salvation of heroes because they were afraid of the power of ghosts and gods. But now, they fantasize about the power of ghosts and gods in order to watch the stories of heroes."

"You mean, the cathode is yang, and the anode is yin?"

"It's not impossible if you have to understand it this way."

Charlotte smiled wryly. It was the same when he got along with the old ghosts before time travel. He didn't understand why these guys from the old times always like to use Yin and Yang to summarize various theories to a high degree. Although it sounds reasonable, doesn't the higher the degree of generalization mean the more possible ambiguities? After a few laps of this kind of car wheel talk, I guess I can't understand anything except the mosquito coils all over my eyes.

However, now is not the time to complain about the other party's language habits.

"If you really want to use this method to collect the power of fear and awe from people, it is best to use the power of modern media. The media can spread news quickly. As long as we choose the right method, we can quickly get it from the hearts of a large number of people. strength."

"A lot? How many?"

"This..."

Charlotte makes an analogy,

"You used to march and fight. Most of the troops dispatched at a time were in the thousands to tens of thousands, right? Hundreds of thousands is already a very large scale. But now, the number of people who have watched any good movie is like this Dozens or even hundreds of times."

"That's hundreds or even tens of millions of people?"

"Even if it's hundreds of millions!"

——Especially after the huge market across the Pacific Ocean explodes in the future.

Charlotte secretly added in her heart.

"So, if you want to regain the power of the mountain god, you just need to participate in a movie performance, so that people can see you and respect you. And I'm so humble, it just happens to be a director who is shooting a movie."

PS1: "The Judge" is a movie of Master Xing, many people should have heard of it! Generally speaking, borrowing means being able to bring the dead back to life.

PS2: In fact, the real title of this chapter should be called Talking Cannon, but unfortunately I couldn't find a more suitable title;

PS3: The subtitle "Speaking of Ghosts" should actually be a ghost, just like pajamas... I always feel that something is wrong.
