Chatty Hollywood

"So, you're saying that not only did you travel to another world, you used a special method to become a magic master, and you also became a well-known director in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean? And by the way, you also married some famous movie queen as your wife!? "

The old ghost looked at Charlotte speechlessly and said,

"You bastard, I thought you liked those blond and blue-eyed horses, but you're even dreaming about it!"

"dream!?"

"Is not it?"

The old ghost said angrily,

"If it wasn't a dream, how could something like traveling through time and space happen?"

"this……"

If Charlotte himself is not a time traveler, he must think that the old ghost's statement is very reasonable...

Charlotte and the old ghost have been having this conversation for a while.

Although he felt that this was a dream, he still couldn't help but tell the old ghost about his experience after time travel when facing the old ghost he hadn't seen for a long time.

However, the old ghost said with great certainty that he was dreaming——

"If you say it was not a dream, can you give more details?"

The old ghost spoke plausibly.

"cannot!"

Charlotte shook her head;

"I vaguely remember that as the level of the dream deepens, the dreamer's memory of reality will become increasingly blurry. In this case, I can no longer recall too many details."

"So it's indeed possible."

The old ghost nodded,

"But the problem is, when you wake up from a dream, you have the same symptoms, right? It feels very real, but you can't remember the details - then, in the same situation, how can you prove that what you just said was not a dream, and now Is this a dream?"

"this……"

Charlotte was stunned.

"I wonder if Zhou's dream is Butterfly Yu? Butterfly's dream is Zhou Yu?"

The old ghost burst out laughing,

"I never thought that one day I would see the story of Zhuang Sheng dreaming of butterflies happening before my eyes!"

"I didn't expect it either..."

Charlotte smiled bitterly and rubbed her nose.

"If you tell me that, I'm not sure anymore."

Indeed, according to Charlotte's memory, everything in front of her now, including the old ghost, should be a dream.

——His fifth level dream.

But the problem is, because the memory of reality gradually becomes blurred as the dream progresses, "reality" is becoming as blurry as the dream.

Finally, when the old ghost asked her this question, Charlotte was really confused for a moment as to which side was reality and which was dream.

"Of course, for better or for worse, you hope that's the reality!"

The old ghost sighed and said,

"After all, according to you, your life is much better over there than here! - But if that's the case, why do you dream about this place?"

The old ghost raised his own question,

"Because you follow me to practice the magic that you can't learn at all, you are actually a weirdo in this world. You don't have many relatives and friends. What else in this world do you miss?"

"This can be considered a cowardice of being close to home!"

Charlotte sighed;

"Besides, I am not necessarily nostalgic, but also fearful."

"fear!?"

"Yes, fear!"

Charlotte nodded,

"I was afraid of what I would get in that world - was it all real? Did I really do it on my own?"

He looked at the old ghost and said,

"Old ghost, when you taught me how to deceive, didn't you once say that many big people will always believe in something after success, and there are all kinds of weird things, and we can start from these aspects when we deceive them - you Do you still remember why you said this happened?"

"That's because when big people want to climb to their status, there will always be some lucky factors involved. For people whose will is not as strong as steel, they will often feel worried about gains and losses after success."

Lao Qiang replied,

"This sense of worry about gains and losses makes them need to find a convincing proof for their success. Superstition or belief will often invade their hearts at this moment - you don't mean, because in that world it is too You are too successful, so you worry about gains and losses deep down in your heart, so you are afraid of the life before time travel, right?"

"Yes."

Charlotte admitted,

"I do get scared sometimes. When I wake up, I find that it was all a dream - just like what you are telling me now - so now all this is a dream transformed by my fear. This This explanation also makes sense."

"I'll just assume that makes sense!"

The old ghost sighed and continued following Charlotte's words,

"But according to your logic, why don't you believe in something in the world over there? Just like the big shots we studied?"

"Because there is nothing we can do!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and said,

"After studying magic with you for so long, I know very well that ghosts and ghosts all come from the human heart, so why would I give my mind to any ghost or god at will? - Even then it should be easier!"

"Yeah! That would be a lot easier!"

The old ghost sighed and said,

"However, in the end, everything we do and all the results we get come from ourselves. They are neither caused by gods or monsters, nor have they anything to do with others."

"——Unfortunately, there are not that many strong enough people in this world."

"And what's even more ridiculous is that the people who believe in this theory the most are those of us who use magic!"

"According to current sayings, even the most idealistic people are actually the most materialistic people. It's very ridiculous, isn't it?"

The old ghost looked at Charlotte with a smile,

"So, you have to make a judgment on your own now - which side is reality and which side is dream? I can't help you with this!"

"But, it's not that complicated, right?"

Charlotte shook her head;

"No big deal, I just have to commit suicide like they said in "Inception"!"

"Are you sure!?"

The old ghost asked back,

"If this was reality, you would really be dead!"

"Moreover, even if this is a dream, how can you be sure that after committing suicide, you will be able to escape from the dream instead of falling into another dream again!?"

"What's more, in my opinion, suicide is simply an opportunistic way to avoid problems - after all, you have not made a final judgment on whether it is a dream or not!"

"So, does this become a mind game?"

Charlotte asked.

"That's okay!"

The old ghost nodded,

"Anyway, more than half of the spells I teach you are about how to deceive people and ghosts - it's best for liars not to be deceived - so just think of it as a test I'm giving you. Got it!"
