Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 257 The Conditions of the Magician

According to the evaluation of Keanu Reeves by many people in the world before Charlotte traveled through time, this man can be called the destiny of the evil star——

His family was unfortunate since he was a child, and he was often injured. Friends die, sisters die, girlfriends die, children die, it is simply a real-life version of the Chinese hero.

After being repeatedly struck by fate, he began to believe in Buddhism and had no fixed abode...

Anyway, for many "Neo" fans, the experience of Keanu Reeves is embarrassing and infinitely sympathetic.

However, the reality is not entirely what everyone imagines.

At least, at the end of 1995, except for his dead friend River Phoenix, his sister is still alive and well, and his girlfriend is not yet his girlfriend.

As for children, they don’t exist at all.

Currently, Reeves has just gotten rid of the death-seeking state of the past few years, and is becoming famous with last year's box office hit "Speed".

Until now, most of the misfortunes he has experienced, apart from the innate factors of family, were actually caused by him committing suicide in the past few years——

Like taking drugs, getting injured in a fight, or breaking a rib while racing...

In the end, you can only blame yourself for this kind of thing.

In fact, when dealing with nightmares before, Charlotte had wondered why the nightmare possessed by Depp would first find River Phoenix instead of Keanu Reeves, who is more prone to death...

At least Ruifan has less of a racing hobby than the latter!

——Especially, the one driving is a heavy-duty motorcycle!

Charlotte feels that considering all the death-defying things Keanu Reeves did when he was young and frivolous, God has blessed him with being able to live and become the "savior".

——Rather than saying that he is a lone star, it is better to say that he has the abnormal ability to absorb the luck of people nearby.

This would explain his strange fate.

"Or is it actually lifespan that is absorbed?"

Although it was a bit vicious to say this, Charlotte did consider this possibility.

after all,

The world of magic is infinitely vast...

But Charlotte didn't expect that her guess was actually somewhat correct——

Although it has not reached the level of "continuation", there is indeed a layer of extraordinary power in Keanu Reeves.

Originally, that layer of power was extremely hidden, even with Charlotte's eyesight she couldn't see it.

But just when he helped Ruifan entrust a dream to the two good brothers, he accidentally triggered the instinctive counterattack of that power——

"The power attached to Reeves is full of bloody and violent power, but it is very hidden. If you didn't use spells on him, you wouldn't be able to see it."

Charlotte frowned and said to River Phoenix in her mind,

"I used to wonder why the nightmare didn't find him, but now the reason is confirmed - with that kind of violent power attached to his body, the nightmare can't interfere with him at all!"

"Is that power a curse?"

River is indeed Keanu Reeves' good brother. After hearing Charlotte's words, his first reaction was to worry about his safety.

"Is he in any danger?"

"Danger? I can't see it now."

Charlotte sighed;

"The ones who are at risk now are the people who have been in contact with him for a long time."

"Depp!?"

Ruifan's first reaction was his other good brother.

This gave Charlotte the urge to cover her forehead.

"No matter how close the relationship between Depp and Reeves is, they won't be close enough to go to bed, right?"

——Don’t let friendship limit your imagination, Ruifan!

Charlotte sighed in her heart, but when she saw Ruifan who was silent beside him, he suddenly thought of another possibility.

"Could it be——"

"of course not!"

Ruifan reacted quickly and denied it.

"I was just wondering, why is this happening?"

"Yeah--"

Charlotte deliberately lengthened her tone, and the profound meaning in her words made River Phoenix feel awkward.

"Based on the reaction just now, that force is like a parasite and is not under Keanu Reeves' control, but it will not cause any harm to him in the short term."

After making a joke, Charlotte stopped imagining things. After all, now is not that time.

"However, this kind of abnormal power does not exist for no reason. If it cannot harm the possessed person, it will often harm the people around the possessed person."

"Especially, through the contact just now, I can feel that this power is a bit like radioactive material. The more contact you have, the more vulnerable you are to damage. So——"

He finally came to a conclusion,

"What we really need to worry about is Keanu Reeves' girlfriend and family. Only those who have close physical contact or live together for a long time may be violated by the power on his body."

"Then is there any way to prevent this kind of infringement or directly solve the problem?"

Although his two good brothers will not be harmed in the short term, it is not a good thing for the people around them to be harmed. Ruifan hurriedly sought a solution from Charlotte.

Charlotte was a little unsure about this,

"This power is very strange. You can say it's a curse, but there's nothing I can do about it without finding out the source."

"Then how do we investigate the source?"

"this……"

Charlotte thought about it and suddenly thought of a way,

"We can use nightmares to go back to dreams."

"Retrospective dream? Nightmare?"

Ruifan was stunned.

"You mean the nightmare that possessed Depp and Winona before? The one that you have eliminated?"

"To be precise, it's not that it was destroyed, but that it changed its form after being caught by me."

Charlotte corrected Ruifan's statement,

"But even if its form changes, it is still a fantasy creature composed of dreams. Deep in its body, there are countless dreams it has come into contact with, including Keanu Reeves's."

"Can you find out the source of Keanu's curse through those dreams?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"But the question is, why would I do this?"

"Why……"

River Phoenix was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, unlike River, who is a good brother to Keanu Reeves, Charlotte has no friendship with Keanu.

At the same time, this director who is good at magic is not a superhero either——

He is not a superman who responds to requests, or even a Constantine who does his best to exorcise demons in order to avoid going to hell after death.

For him, studying spells and ghosts is actually just a hobby. If there is no stake, he will not go all out to deal with ghosts with different abilities.

Just like when he was in England before, facing the Headless Horseman transformed by Cromwell, he did not choose to fight directly, but adopted a bet.

——After all, Charlotte is not an exorcist who eliminates all evil.

Faced with such a guy, how do you convince him to help?

Ruifan couldn't think of any solution for a while.

At this time, Charlotte spoke,

"Rifan, I have a plan that has something to do with the ghosts of Hollywood while also having a normal acting career - if you are willing to help me convince Depp and Reeves to join, I can help Reeves solve the problem this time .”
