Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 496 Haunted House

"In short, although it may not be reliable, this is indeed your last chance."

Mel Gibson said to Downey in a stern tone. Paired with his slightly serious face, it really gives people a majestic feeling.

"All right!"

Donnie swallowed.

Although he had a good relationship with the Australian man in front of him and knew that he was not as tough as he appeared on the big screen, Downey was still a little frightened when the other man started to get angry.

——No way, the height difference is there, it’s a flaw!

*******

"So, how are you going to help me, Patrick?"

Donnie asked.

At this time, several of them had arrived at Patrick Jane's residence and studio in Burbank, near Los Angeles.

Although I am a little dissatisfied with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster for dragging me into this weird place without my consent and without even having a chance to clean up after being released from prison.

But Downey also understood that this was actually the concern of his two friends for him.

At this time when his reputation is ruined, there are still people who care about him so much. Downey is already grateful. What else can he say?

However, Downey has little confidence in whether he can successfully quit this time——

In fact, when he came out of prison before and when he left the "alcohol treatment center" several times before, he vowed to get rid of that thing completely.

My thoughts at the time were sincere, but after a while, I couldn't help it.

This was due to the influence of some bad friends and the inducement of drug dealers. Of course, the most important thing was that Downey's own will was not strong enough.

However, it is indeed difficult to ask a person who started taking drugs under the guidance of his father's words and deeds when he was seven or eight years old to firmly refuse drugs...

In short, due to several failed withdrawal experiences in the past, Downey's confidence in his ability to quit was already very low.

What's more, the residence of the psychic master Patrick Jane is shabby and shabby, and there is even thick dust accumulated in many places. It feels a bit like a haunted house.

With this look, it was really hard for Donnie to believe that the other party was a highly capable person.

And the other party seemed to see the suspicion in Downey's heart, he smiled sinisterly,

"Actually, I deliberately didn't clean this house in order to preserve the breath left by the previous dead spirits."

"Dead spirit!?"

Downey was stunned, and Jodie Foster on the other side asked with a slightly sharp voice,

"You mean, has anyone died in this house?"

"What's so strange about a house where people have died?"

Patrick Jian looked disapproving.

"There have been murders in this house—three!"

"What!?"

As if he had been hit hard, Downey leaned back in fright, and Mel Gibson sat up all of a sudden.

"Don't get excited!"

Patrick Jane waved his hand,

"Although this place can be said to be a haunted house, after I have taken care of it, there will no longer be any problems - on the contrary, this place where the undead once roamed will help me exert my power."

"Yes, really?"

Donnie forced a smile and said,

"Then what do we do next?"

"not us!"

Patrick Jane shook his head and pointed at Donnie.

"You yourself must spend the night in this house, feeling the breath of the dead, and then tomorrow, I will cast a spell for you."

"Myself!!?"

Danny's voice suddenly became sharp...

***********

"This move of yours is really damaging!"

Outside the house, Jodie Foster secretly said to Patrick Jane, no, it should be said to Charlotte,

"With the way you have decorated this room, and the story background of a haunted house, even I, an insider, am somewhat timid. Donnie will definitely be scared to death!"

"Being frightened,

This will make it easier for me to cast the spell later! "

Charlotte had a smirk on her face,

"In the final analysis, spending a night in a haunted house in fear is just as much a part of the preparation ritual as bathing and changing clothes before praying."

"There is still such a saying!?"

The movie queen’s eyes widened,

"Wait a minute, didn't you make up this haunted house story?"

"how come?"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Mel Gibson and I are not in the same group. He will definitely find someone to investigate when he goes back - if I made up the name of the haunted house, he will definitely expose me when he comes back tomorrow, right!?"

"That is to say, here -"

"Three homicides did occur."

Charlotte nodded.

"Then the haunted house you call doesn't really have ghosts, does it?"

"What do you think?"

Charlotte asked rhetorically.

Jodie Foster looked around and her face suddenly turned pale.

*********

So far, this matter is actually a trap set up by Charlotte and Jodie Foster to help Robert Downey Jr. detoxify from drugs.

At this time, after her persuasion, Downey finally decided to try the drug detoxification method of "Psychic Master" Patrick Jane, and agreed to stay one night in this haunted house to prepare for the formal treatment tomorrow.

As for Mel Gibson, who accompanied Downey, he was non-committal.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to think there would be any problem with Downey staying here for one night. But obviously, he didn't quite believe what "Patrick Jane" said either.

——No way, according to Charlotte and Judy’s script, Mel Gibson is indeed just an unknowing witness.

On the one hand, Jodie Foster feels that Mel Gibson, who has a stubborn personality, may not be able to accept such strange things as magic.

On the other hand, it was also because Charlotte did not intend to let more people know about the existence of the spell.

After all, having too many people who know something mysterious is also troublesome.

Therefore, Charlotte takes action as Patrick Jane, and Jodie Foster cooperates with him when necessary to enhance the atmosphere.

To put it simply, it is trust.

——For the double Oscar winner, this is really a very simple thing.

However, Judy did not expect that Charlotte's scene would be so realistic, and she would actually find a haunted house.

This puts a lot of pressure on the actress.

"When it comes to making up stories, actors really can't compare to directors and screenwriters!"

Judy complained in her heart.

However, the worry that Mel Gibson would see through Charlotte's lies and undermine their plan also disappeared at the same time.

——After all, the thing about the haunted house is indeed true!

"However, if Donnie stays in this haunted house for a night, there won't be any danger, right?"

Judy was a little worried.

After all, she is Donnie's friend.

——How can someone who is willing to help the other person when his reputation is ruined not care about the other person's life safety?

In response, Charlotte smiled mysteriously,

"Don't worry, I will let my men help take care of him. There will be no danger!"

"Your men!?"

The movie queen was stunned for a moment and then reacted,

"Are your men those ghosts!?"

——This is not caring for people, it is just deliberately trying to scare people! ?

Charlotte shrugged noncommittally.
