Chatty Hollywood

"because I!?"

Hearing Charlize's words, Charlotte looked confused.

"yes!"

Charlize suppressed a smile and said,

"The people from Red Penguin told me that as a major commercial film director in the field of horror and fantasy films, you must be very interested in the dark and magical gameplay of Black Mass, and as your girlfriend... you know .”

"All right."

Charlotte sighed feebly,

"Does anyone who makes fantasy horror movies have to like dark games? What kind of logic is this!?"

"I don't know about this."

Charlize shrugged.

"Maybe the people from Red Penguin are promoting it randomly! Of course, it may also be that you and Depp have a good relationship, which caused some misunderstanding!"

"Depp..."

Charlotte frowned.

"It is indeed a possibility."

As the famous little prince of darkness in Hollywood and a member of the "Death Trio", even though Johnny Depp changed his mind due to the death of River Phoenix, he later changed his name to Winona Ryder and became A good man through and through. But before that, he had committed many great deaths.

——He can definitely handle things like dark parties.

And because of "Sleepy Hollow", Charlotte and Depp have become good friends.

In this case, based on the principle that birds of a feather flock together, it is absolutely reasonable for others to suspect that he also has special hobbies similar to Depp.

There was nothing he could do about it.

"Let's turn the conversation back to the real Black Mass!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly.

"That kind of black mass!?"

Charlize rolled her eyes and deliberately licked her red lips with the tip of her dexterous tongue——

Having learned a lot of magic knowledge from Charlotte, Charlize naturally knows what the so-called "Black Mass" is.

——To be precise, it’s hard to say who is dirtier than Red Penguin’s “Black Mass Private Party”.

After all, as the opposite of the formal Mass, the Black Mass is essentially a ritual of devil worship.

This kind of ceremony, unlike the serious mass that worships the sacred, focuses on chaos.

And chaos, of course, involves frantic snapping.

With people and other living things, in special ways...

In short, similar records are basically indispensable in the historical records about the Black Mass.

——Although, in a "movement" in that strange environment, or even a "group movement", it is difficult to tell whether the atmosphere is confusing or weird.

That's why Charlize made such a dirty joke with Charlotte when she heard Charlotte mention "Black Mass".

But at present, it seems that Charlotte’s purpose is not to have fun with Charlize…

"The legend of Black Mass actually has its magic prototype. Its essence is to summon the power of special ghosts to possess oneself."

Charlotte explained,

"Regardless of good and evil, this kind of spell has the advantage of being able to last for a very long time compared to the way I used your body to do it before - one, two or even more than ten years is not uncommon."

"so smart!?"

"Yes."

Charlotte shrugged.

"The forms of Black Mass are very diverse, and the effects are also different, but if you want to attach a certain spell effect to a person for a long time, this can be said to be the simplest and most effective way - although it is indeed very weird."

"And dangerous!"

Charlize added,

"After all, according to you, the Black Mass relies on the power of ghosts - speaking of which, Charlotte, you are telling me this, don't you want to use the form of the Black Mass to add some magic effect to me?"

"you guessed right!"

Charlotte nodded,

"I want to attach a layer of special spell protection to your body, as well as a trap against ghosts, so that when you encounter some strange ghosts, I am not by your side and you have no time to react."

"Is it because of Jack the Ripper?"

"And the Lord of Hell!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and said,

"The ghosts we have encountered recently are indeed more difficult to deal with than the previous ones. Especially this time, the timing of Eileen Wuornos' suicide was too coincidental."

"All right."

After being analyzed repeatedly by Charlotte several times, Charlize couldn't help but become a little worried.

"But, didn't you say that Black Mass is very dangerous and you still need to borrow the power of ghosts? Is it okay to use this method to protect me with magic?"

"I don't plan to do a real Black Mass, after all, it's too dangerous - what I borrow is just the form of the Black Mass."

Charlotte explained,

"I can use a spell to simulate a ghost, and then use the Black Mass to pray to the ghost I simulated, and finally give the spell effect - in this way, the attached spell effect will be as long-lasting as the black mass. ”

"...Can this still happen!?"

Charlize didn't know how to describe Charlotte's plan.

Little did she know that Charlotte was able to think of this method thanks to the Lord of Hell——

Although Charlotte was extremely vigilant and instinctively displeased with the Lord of Hell's temptation to turn him into a ghost, he still got some inspiration from it.

One of them is simulating ghosts and then applying spell effects in the form of black mass.

However, after all, there are only a few ghosts that Charlotte can simulate, and they are all very much in his style.

For example--

**********

"Are you sure we're doing Black Mass and not!?"

After putting on the clothes Charlotte specially prepared for herself, and looking at the other party's current dress, Charlize couldn't help but be speechless.

Well, the surrounding candles, crow's paws, rats and other sacrifices, as well as the strange-smelling magic circle on the ground, do have the flavor of a Black Mass.

But Charlotte's deer hunting outfit and pipe left Charlize at a loss for words.

Especially the girl herself is still wearing a retro British dress, just like a British lady from the late 19th century and the Victorian era.

"This guy, you are simulating a ghost. Could it be Sherlock Holmes?"

Charlize asked.

Charlotte nodded simply.

"That's right!"

"...As a representative figure of detectives, Sherlock Holmes can't be considered a ghost, right?"

Charlize rolled her eyes.

But Charlotte shrugged,

“Aren’t the great detectives who find cases and deaths wherever they go, not considered ghosts?”

"..."

"What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless."

Something Charlotte often said flashed through Charlize's mind.

The latter continued to explain,

“The era when the story of Sherlock Holmes was born is similar to the era when Jack the Ripper was active, which makes many people subconsciously regard them as opponents - although even in various virtual worlds, Holmes has never met Jack the Ripper head-on. .”

"But since people have this common imagination, I can use people's imagination to use Sherlock Holmes as one of the shields against Jack the Ripper."

"Of course, using Sherlock Holmes as a ghost is a step too far."

Having said this, Charlotte smiled and handed Charlize a book,

"Actually, the ghost I need is this—"

"The Hound of the Baskervilles!?"

The girl read the title of the book in surprise.
