Chatty Hollywood

"You'd better help me get my mother's soul back first!"

A day later, Charlotte received a reply from Charlize at her home.

"Although the recovery time may be a little longer, at least that will give you some peace of mind."

The girl's face looked a little haggard. She must have been thinking about this matter.

"I'd rather wait a little longer than be in an uncertain situation."

"Oh well!"

Charlotte sighed, and simply took out two jars from under the bed and placed them in front of Charlize.

"Pick one, Sally!"

"This is--"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she looked out and found a large emerald green mantis in one of the two jars. This insect-catching expert with two long knives was showing off his power towards her.

In another jar, there was a large gray spider with hair. Just looking at its front claws made Charlize tremble with fear.

"what do you mean?"

The girl looked at the two jars containing large insects with some caution, as if she wanted to avoid them.

"I will cast a spell to summon part of your mother's soul from her body, and then attach it to the insect you choose."

"insect!?"

The corners of Charlize's mouth twitched,

“Does it have to be an insect?”

"yes!"

Of course Charlotte could see that Charlize seemed a little afraid of these two bugs, and he smiled bitterly and said,

"Except for bugs, the souls of spinal objects are relatively strong and are prone to rejection of attached souls. In fact, the most suitable for attaching the free souls of patients with this kind of soul-leaving syndrome are actually crickets."

"cricket!?"

"Yes, because there is precedent for this."

Charlotte nodded,

continued,

"Once upon a time in China——"

"etc!"

Charlize suddenly interrupted him,

"Let me be clear first. Does your story include a scene where the hero and heroine have sex? I'm not in that mood right now."

"..."

Charlotte was speechless for a while.

Only then did he realize that in the girl's mind, every time he told stories about ghosts, he was trying to lure her into bed...

"But it really didn't happen this time!"

Charlotte looked innocent.

——Indeed, this is one of the rare stories written by senior Pu Songling that does not contain adult elements.

"Then tell me about it!"

The girl looked at him suspiciously.

"...Sally, if you keep doing this, I will completely lose interest in telling stories."

Charlotte glanced at the girl helplessly before continuing,

"To put it simply, it was a child who committed suicide by drowning due to a conflict with his family. Although he was rescued, he became in a state similar to a vegetative state, that is -"

"Soul-leaving syndrome!"

Charlize immediately realized that what Charlotte was talking about this time was actually an example. She asked anxiously,

"Then what?"

"Then part of the child's soul that separated from the body was attached to a little cricket. Later, the little cricket helped his family and won many cricket fighting competitions, and even brought a large sum of money to the family."

"Then did this child finally recover?"

What Charlize is most concerned about is still this issue.

"back to normal."

Charlotte nodded,

"It took more than a year, and then he still remembered what happened when he turned into a cricket."

"So you said it would take about a year..."

Charlize understood;

"Did you use this story as an example to estimate?"

"That's right! So——"

Charlotte had a wicked smile on her face,

"Choose, Sally!"

He placed the two jars containing bugs in front of the girl again.

"this……"

Charlize felt helpless for a while,

"Why not choose a cuter insect?"

"For example?"

Charlotte rolled her eyes and asked,

"Can you name an insect that you think is cute? In advance, flying insects such as butterflies are not allowed, because of their nature, if they are trapped in one place for a long time, they will die."

"The ant——"

"It doesn't matter if the ants are too small. Can you imagine that I attached your mother's soul to it, but you couldn't see her at all because the attachment was too small?"

"..."

Charlize looked at the plausive Charlotte and suddenly wondered whether the guy in front of her did it on purpose.

However, she also knew that there was no point in doubting Charlotte when it came to matters involving ghosts and spells.

The girl who actually had no choice could only choose a jar at random.

"Just this spider!"

——At least I heard that this thing is relatively easy to raise.

The girl could only comfort herself in this way.

"very good!"

Charlotte smiled;

"Sally, I know you may be a little afraid of these insects, but when I summon the separated part of your mother's soul into the insects, you have to have regular contact with her to help her recover as soon as possible."

"I, I know."

Charlize's answer was stammering, obviously losing his previous momentum.

"Then let's start summoning spirits next!"

Charlotte did not continue to embarrass the girl. He took out another puppet made of straw.

"Sally, before you came, I actually made some rough preparations. Now I need you to help me complete the rest!"

As he spoke, he handed the girl a note and a pen,

"Write down your mother's name and birthday first, then your own."

"good."

Charlize honestly followed Charlotte's request and wrote down the relevant content. Charlotte took the note and stuffed it into the Scarecrow's belly.

"And then you need hair on both sides."

Charlotte continued,

"I actually secretly took a piece of hair on your mother's day. As for you -"

Looking at the girl who was about to pull out her hair, he twisted the corner of his mouth and said,

"In fact, the hair there is better than the hair!"

"you--"

The girl's face suddenly turned red.

Although the two had "helped each other" many times, Charlize still didn't have the nerve to do it directly in front of him.

Fortunately, this was Charlotte's home and there was no one else. The girl went to the bathroom and stayed for a while. When she came out, she handed Charlotte a curly golden hair.

"very good!"

Charlotte didn't say much. He knew that at this time, it would be a bit embarrassing to say anything.

"Now let's get started!"

As he spoke, he closed the curtains, lit two candles on the table, and placed the puppet scarecrow in the middle of the candles. Then he waved his hand——

The candle flame suddenly turned green!

The atmosphere in the room instantly became dark and strange.

And that's not all yet, Charlotte placed hairs from Charlize and her mother on the flames of two candles. The hair was quickly burned by the candle flame, and two wisps of smoke ignited.

The green smoke did not rise vertically like normal, but like two spiritual snakes, rolling and floating towards the scarecrow in the middle, and finally wrapped around its body.

"Home is where your loved ones are! So, go home!"

Charlotte muttered softly.

After speaking, he bowed to the scarecrow on the table.
