Chatty Hollywood

The moment the heroine Katrina took off her blindfold, the camera gave this beautiful girl a close-up of her upper body.

The close-up is obviously from the perspective of the leading actor Eqab Karan.

And Ichabu is a man.

Men——

Therefore, in the close-up shot, in addition to showing the girlish charm of Charlize, who plays Katrina, it also takes a look at her chest——

Although compared to some actresses who are famous for their breasts - such as the future widowed sister Scarlett Johansson - Charlize is not so magnificent, but her figure is still very good.

Moreover, a girl who has just turned 20 actually still has a little room to grow.

Of course, the most important thing lies in that famous saying——

Breasts and grooves, like time, will always be there if you squeeze them.

What's more, there is something called a magic bra.

In short, after processing, Charlize's breasts appear much larger in the lens. In addition, the long dresses worn by women in the 18th and 19th centuries would have deliberately highlighted the breasts...

Anyway, during the filming of "Sleepy Hollow", Charlotte "appreciated" Katrina's style. He actually knew the internal structure of that dress very well.

"Don't even think about how you played that time again!"

At this time, Charlize, who was sitting next to Charlotte, seemed to have remembered the same thing. She snorted directly in Charlotte's mind,

"The time I wore this long dress, you made me pass out later. I don't want to do it again!"

"That's not what you said then."

"...There's no next time anyway!"

Charlize's pretty face turned red, and she shouted in her mind with a stern expression.

——The suffocating moment, the feeling of not being able to tell whether it was happiness or pain, really left a deep memory for the girl.

She didn't know if she wanted to do it again, but she felt that if she came a few more times, it would definitely make Charlotte develop some bad habits.

——For her, that might not be a good thing.

However, Charlize now knew why the ladies in 19th-century literature were so prone to fainting in their long gowns.

——You must be so strangled that you can’t breathe!

Girls who have experienced it firsthand are very sure.

"Hey, can you two stop digressing into that while chatting?"

Another female voice suddenly sounded in Charlize's mind.

——It’s Alexis who has been quiet recently.

"this……"

Charlize couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Because she had forgotten to block Alexis at "critical moments" several times before and let her "empathize" with her, Charlize has recently deliberately ignored this aspect.

——Otherwise, it would be a little embarrassing just thinking about it.

Alexis didn't express any dissatisfaction. But now it seems that it may be a bit too much...

"Alexis——"

Charlize was about to explain, but Charlotte suddenly interrupted,

“Get ready to enter the world of painted walls in this movie!”

Hearing the voice in their heads, both Charlize and Alexis were stunned. And what made them even more stunned was what was still behind them——

"This time, Alexis goes in first!"

"What about Sally and you?"

Alexis couldn't help but ask the questions in Charlize's mind that she wanted to know too.

"We'll go in at the last moment."

Charlotte could obviously hear Alexis' question, as he explained,

"This time we entered the wall painting world because we have put together the conditions for your "resurrection". But the process of "resurrection" must be done by yourself."

"Then what do I do?"

As Charlize "listened", Alexis's words clearly showed tension.

This is also normal.

After all, how could a ghost who had been a lonely ghost for many years not be nervous when faced with a "resurrection", even a half-baked "resurrection" with many restrictions?

——Alexis was angry because of her chatting with Charlotte just now,

Is it also because of nervousness?

Charlize realized belatedly.

In comparison, Charlotte seems much more hard-hearted——

"I will create the wall-painted world of "Sleepy Hollow" exactly the same as the story of the movie - after you enter, you have to play Katrina."

"Sally's role? Can I just keep playing it according to the storyline?"

"Yes."

Charlotte confirmed Alexis’s idea,

"From now on, as Katrina until the end of the movie, you will be able to complete the rituals required for "resurrection." And Sally and I will go in at the last minute to help you solve the final problem."

"OK."

Alexis seemed relieved after learning that Charlotte and Charlize would also enter the world of painted walls.

Under Charlotte's spell, she quickly entered the world on the other side of the big screen.

At that moment, Charlize felt as if a part of herself was missing.

"She won't be able to come back, right? Is there any danger?"

the girl asked worriedly.

She felt that there seemed to be something hidden in Charlotte's words.

This time, the girl didn’t even notice anything unusual in the man’s behavior, but maybe it was the fusion of dreams that added some intuitive connection——

That’s how Charlize feels, anyway.

"It doesn't matter if I don't come back."

Charlotte sighed;

"However, it is true that there may be danger."

"really……"

Charlize gritted her teeth and suddenly remembered the three red marks that appeared on Charlotte's arm before.

"Is it related to the mysterious consciousness in the gate of hell you mentioned?"

"Sally, it seems that you have really remembered a lot of the magic knowledge I taught you some time ago!"

Charlotte sighed in admiration, and then explained

"The door to hell that opens at the crossroads is the door for ghosts to go to the world of death. So, conversely, if you want to be resurrected, it means you have to come back from that world——"

"This violates the rules of the gate of hell, which only allows entry but not exit!"

Recalling some of the "common sense" about magic that Charlotte told herself before, Charlize blurted out.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"This kind of violation of the rules may attract other ghosts even if the mysterious consciousness in the Hell Gate does not interfere."

"But didn't you say that this era is the end of the Dharma, and there aren't many ghosts?"

"The Age of Dharma Ending is good, but——"

Charlotte sighed helplessly,

"Based on your experience of more than a year, do you think there are fewer ghosts?"

"..."

Facts speak louder than words. Thinking of all the thrilling experiences in the past year or so, Charlize was speechless.

“Birds of a feather flock together, and weirdness attracts weirdness.”

Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"Even if there are really not many ghosts in the world, the use of spells and serious interference with the laws will still attract them. Especially, today is still Halloween!"

"Halloween?"

Charlize was stunned for a moment, and then remembered a piece of knowledge Charlotte taught her.

"The moment when the door to hell opens!?"

"Yes! Half of July in the East and Halloween in the West. Legend has it that the two realms of Yin and Yang communicate with each other and the door of ghosts opens wide."

Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing to explain in Charlize's mind,

"Although I don't know if the underworld exists, the power of ghosts and monsters will indeed be strengthened on this day."

"Then why did you choose this day to resurrect Alexis!?"

Charlize couldn't help but feel a little anxious because her "best friend" was involved.

"Whether it's to change the premiere date, or change the time, and not hold the "resurrection" ceremony at the premiere, with your ability, you can do it, right?"

"Of course it can be done, but-"

Charlotte sighed sarcastically;

"The moment when the gate of hell is wide open is also when the power of the law of hell is at its weakest, which is the most suitable time for "resurrection"!"

"this--"

At this moment, Charlize also felt the malice of the world's laws.

"So what do we do now?"

In desperation, the girl had to rely on Charlotte.

"wait!"

Charlotte's method is so simple that it's outrageous;

"According to the plot of the movie, the most likely time to attract ghosts is at the end, and that time is probably past midnight in the UK."

"Zero o'clock?"

Charlize was stunned for a moment, then realized,

"You mean, if you just delay for a while, Halloween, when the ghosts are at their strongest, will be over?"

"To be precise, it's Halloween in the UK."

Charlotte corrected Charlize's words.

In fact, Charlotte had been struggling with the pros and cons of the Halloween date on Alexis' resurrection a long time ago.

It wasn't until Andrew Kevin Walker told him that Paramount wanted to put the premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" in the UK that he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds——

"Sleepy Hollow" premieres simultaneously in the UK and the US.

Charlotte also deliberately induced Paramount to postpone the film's premiere in the UK to 10:30 pm.

In this way, for a movie of about 120 minutes, the climax of the ending will appear after midnight at night.

At that time, in the UK, it was no longer Halloween, but the first Wednesday after Halloween.

This way, even if ghosts did cause trouble in the final moments of Alexis's resurrection, they wouldn't get the special Halloween time reinforcement here in the UK.

But on the other hand, Alexis' "resurrection" can be enhanced by Halloween.

——Because in the United States, the premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" is also taking place.

——The time in the United States is several hours behind the United Kingdom, which uses Greenwich Mean Time.

- They're still in the middle of Halloween.

This part of the power can be absorbed by Charlotte through the simultaneous premiere of the "Sleepy Hollow" movie and used for the resurrection of Alexis.

"So, your plan is to use the mechanism of global time zones, or in other words, the international date line?"

After hearing Charlotte's explanation, Charlize was stunned.

The girl felt that her brain was a bit insufficient for a moment, and after a long while she sighed and said,

"Your idea reminds me of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days."

“That’s where I got my inspiration.”

There was a bit of pride in Charlotte's words,

"However, even so, we still cannot be careless. Because this time is different from before, we are on the defensive side."

"yes!"

Charlize nodded.

After hearing Charlotte's plan, the girl wished that time could go faster, and faster, so that she could quickly pass through zero o'clock, pass Halloween, and reach the next day——

Wednesday.

**********

In the world of painted walls, Alexis is unaware of Charlize's nervousness and anxiety.

She is now the center of the party, she is the daughter of the rich man in Sleepy Hollow, she is the beautiful little witch, she is——

Katrina Fantasso!

Looking at the handsome man with the face of Johnny Depp in front of her, Iqab Karan, who had just been kissed on the cheek by her, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Iqab Karan spoke,

"I'm looking for Portus Fantasia."

"I am her daughter Katrina."

The answer that came out of her mouth startled Alexis.

The next moment, she realized that people in this world actually had their own independent consciousness. Charlotte asked her to play Katrina. In fact, she just needed her to possess Katrina in this world.

Even if she does nothing, Katrina, who has the face of Sally, will still act according to the plot of the movie.

——However, if possible, it would be better for you to get more involved.

Thinking this way, Alexis began to put her emotions into Katrina.

And before her eyes, a small-scale jealousy was about to take place...

**********

"This girl probably did it on purpose!"

On the big screen, Katrina's admirer grabs Ichabod Karan, played by Depp, and prepares to teach the bastard who got the Goddess' Kiss a lesson when Winona Ryder appears out of nowhere. Such a sentence.

This startled Johnny Depp, who was sitting next to him.

After successfully proposing at the premiere, Depp has been in a dazed state. Even when he walked into the screening room with Winona, who was already his fiancée, he did not wake up.

However, Winona's jealous words suddenly made him shiver.

Okay, think about it from Winona's perspective -

Just after I agreed to my ex-boyfriend’s proposal, I saw my ex-boyfriend, now my fiancé, being kissed on the cheek by another girl?

Even if that was just in the movie, Winona wouldn't be in a great mood.

Besides, the role of the girl who kissed her fiancé was originally supposed to be hers.

And that girl seemed to be no worse at acting than herself.

——Even, maybe, maybe, probably a little prettier than myself! ?

Therefore, it is already clear why Winona hates the role of Katrina and even Charlize Theron who plays her...

Although this is not a rational emotion, Depp feels that it is better for him to keep a low profile before the end of the movie.

He reached out, wanting to grab Winona's hand next to him and calm her down.

——It feels like Noni’s mood has fluctuated a lot since she woke up from that nightmare.

Then, his hand was grabbed by the girl and twisted...

**********

Just when poor Johnny Depp was trying not to scream, the jealousy that many people loved to see on the big screen did not happen.

The appearance of Katrina's father and stepmother stopped this minor disturbance.

Iqab Karan introduced his identity as a police officer and said that he was sent to solve the murder case.

This was taken seriously by Katrina's father, Portus Fantaso.

He helped Ichabu settle down, then summoned the leading figures in the town of Sleepy Hollow and introduced them to Ichabu one by one——

These include local doctors, priests, sheriffs, and notaries.

Fan Tasso himself is the biggest tycoon and banker in Sleepy Hollow, a role similar to the mayor.

These five people, plus the previously killed Van Galle father and son - the victims of the murder case that Ikabu was sent here to solve - are the center of power in this small town.

As a police officer, Ikabu asked them if there were any known suspects as soon as he came up, but what he got was a legend similar to a ghost story——

PS1: First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone, I am really tired today. So there was no update this morning. This two-in-one chapter can be considered as compensation for everyone! There should be no fewer updates than usual. PS2: As mentioned before, please let me use the name of the series "Halloween" for a while. In fact, today’s chapter should be really relevant. PS3: This chapter can be said to have pulled out a lot of hidden clues that I had buried before. I don’t know if it’s a brain-burning one, but it should be interesting! PS4: The story "Around the World in Eighty Days" should be very famous! It circles the earth once, but because of the international date line, it regains one day's time. This is a source of ideas for today's chapter. PS5: Everyone can guess whether there are any hidden lines that have not been revealed yet.
