Chatty Hollywood

"You actually found so many identities for me!?"

"Al Pacino" looked at Charlotte funny,

"Even if it's a ghost, normally it only has one identity, right?"

"Because you are not an ordinary ghost to begin with!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Actually, your identity is more than what I said - like Paracelsus, the one who refined the Philosopher's Stone, is it also you?"

"Well..."

"Al Pacino"'s eyes narrowed,

"It seems you do know a lot! You can think of me as Paracelsus or the Philosopher's Stone. You can even say that I am the Holy Grail that King Arthur is searching for."

"Holy Grail? I can't stop watching it!"

Charlotte smiled;

"Just like you said that Dracula is actually a weird existence that is half ghost and half god, you are also a half ghost and half god! The source of your power is also the various legends related to wishes that are widely circulated in the world. !”

"Because human beings always have insatiable desires!"

"Al Pacino" smiled sadly,

"Huge power, endless wealth, immortality, hopeless love, lost relatives...the more you don't want it, the deeper people will fall into it and be willing to pay the price for it!"

"From a certain perspective, you can actually be said to be the wish-fulfilling machine in human fantasy!"

Charlotte also had a sarcastic sneer on her lips,

"So, there is nothing wrong with saying that you are the Holy Grail. However, there are very few wishes that you can actually fulfill, right? And you have to pay a very huge price!"

"No effort, no reward, right?"

"Al Pacino" looks like a philosopher,

"Is this the fairest truth in the world?"

"Fairness and justice are what people want!"

Charlotte sighed;

"How can this world be so gentle?"

“It’s common for people to pay without getting anything in return, and those who get rewards don’t necessarily need to pay—it can only be said that only by paying can they get rewards.”

Charlotte's words were filled with the smell of poisonous chicken soup,

"And the source of your strength is the resistance deep in people's hearts against this "malice of the world" - if you pay, you will be rewarded. After all, it is people's hope!"

"This world is so cruel, why should we break it?"

"Al Pacino" looks like an elder who wants to impart life experience to Charlotte.

"Only children who don't understand anything can see through the emperor's new clothes. Isn't it good to keep some illusions deep in your heart? If a person has no illusions, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"I have fantasies too!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"It's just that it may be different from the direction you need."

Charlotte smiled;

"Actually, judging from the last time you appeared on the set of "The Devil's Advocate", there must be some kind of connection between you and the devil."

"But the entanglement between you and Dracula makes me feel like you are a ghost from the Middle East."

"However, you later mentioned Byron and Mary Shelley, which made me realize that you seemed to exist at the same time in the history of the Western world..."

Having said this, Charlotte scratched her head,

"At that time, I really couldn't figure out your origin. To be honest, if you gave off the impression that you were obviously male-conscious, I would even guess that you were a muse!"

"Muse?"

"Al Pacino" nodded,

“I might have been the muse to Byron and Mary Shelley!”

"A muse like you!?"

Charlotte rolled her eyes;

"As a director, I still prefer my muse."

"The little girl from last time?"

"Al Pacino" turned his head and spotted Charlize's figure not far away,

"At that time, your consciousness was hiding in her body,

Let me not discover your original identity. Do you dare to stand in front of me like this now because you discovered my true identity? "

"So be it!"

Charlotte didn’t deny it either;

"But the complexity of your true form is beyond my imagination!"

"tell me the story!"

"Al Pacino" also seemed interested.

"After that time, I have been investigating various information, inquiring about your relationship with Dracula and your true identity. Then, I suddenly realized a problem-"

Charlotte narrowed her eyes;

"Various myths and legends about ghosts and monsters are actually spread among different regions. In the process of spreading, the stories themselves will also change, which will cause the power of ghosts and gods in the stories to also change. Corresponding changes——"

"Like Baal, the god of fertility in ancient Babylonian mythology, and then in the Bible, he became a fallen demon king;"

"The prototype of Sun Wukong in ancient Chinese mythology is a mixture of the Indian monkey god Hanuman and the protagonist in the ancient Chinese "The White Man Conquers the Demon";"

"As for you, I have consulted a lot of information. In Europe after the Renaissance, there were always strange people who could provide inspiration to many writers, scientists and artists in Europe. In addition, you also specifically said Something about Byron and Mary Shelley—"

"So you're guessing I'm Mephisto?"

"Al Pacino" nodded,

"The Dr. Faustus described in Goethe's "Faust" is indeed my prototype. And I have indeed gained a clearer source of power through the famous work "Faust" - but I only know that I The source of it is to this extent, but it cannot interfere with my power."

"If this is all I know, how dare I claim to know your real name?"

A confident smile appeared on Charlotte's lips,

"Afterwards, I realized that the European Renaissance itself was inextricably linked to the previous Crusades. A lot of knowledge in Europe at that time was obtained from the Middle East."

"Coupled with your relationship with Dracula, or the Impaler of Wallachia, it made me realize that you also have a doppelganger in the Arab region of the Middle East."

"So you say I am the genie of the djinn? The genie in "One Thousand and One Nights" or "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp"?"

"Al Pacino" nodded again,

"Although I don't know what your specific evidence is, I can admit this - I am indeed a djinn."

"That'll be easy!"

Charlotte had a relaxed smile on her face,

"Although I am not without evidence, it is not very conclusive. It will be much easier if you can honestly admit it."

"By the way, in your previous conversation, the information about the identities of Mephisto and the Djinn was actually revealed to me on purpose, right?"

"Revealed to you on purpose!?"

"Al Pacino", no, Mephisto was stunned for a moment,

"Why do you have such speculation?"

"Because you actually don't have to tell me this!"

Charlotte laughed;

"I don't think villains in real life are like the villains in movies and TV shows, who talk a lot as if they're trying to kill themselves - there must be a reason why you talk so much."

"So, what's the reason?"

The meaning of Mephisto's words seemed to have admitted that he did have intentional elements.

"Because you want me to covet your power to grant wishes!"

Charlotte said with great certainty,

"In that case, I will inevitably fall into your rules - to gain something, you need to pay a price!"
