Chatty Hollywood

The face in front of her that looked exactly like Jodie Foster was slightly confused.

If it were Judy herself, this confused expression would have a tenderness that makes people feel distressed.

But the blood that had just been sprinkled on this woman's face and hair was still hanging on her face. The confusion against this background made people feel more weird, scary and bloody.

And this blood also reveals a kind of cautious beauty, just like Countess Elizabeth Bartoli bathed in the blood of virgins.

——This countess lived in Hungary in the 16th century. Like Vlad III the Impaler, she was one of the early vampire prototypes.

However, Charlotte would not think that the other party had anything to do with vampires just because of this bloody smell.

He suspected from the beginning that the monster Jodie Foster encountered was a painted skin!

After all, although many ghosts in legend have a hobby of eating people's hearts, if they encounter that kind of monster, Judy and her assistant Anna should not be spared.

As far as Charlotte knew, there was only a ghost like Huapi that would take out a person's heart when killing someone, but instead of feeding on it, it would offer it to the person whose appearance it imitated.

That is the prototype of the "painted skin" on it.

Therefore, from the moment she learned from Mr. Westwood that Jodie Foster's perverted fan dedicated her heart to her, Charlotte began to wonder if there was anything behind it.

After that, he took the opportunity to discuss the script of "Happy Death Day" and observed Jodie Foster in person for a long time.

But unlike when Charlize was possessed by Alexis, who was still a wraith, Judy herself was quite normal and had no obvious ghostly aura on her body, which made it difficult for Charlotte to judge.

In desperation, Charlotte used the "Li Dai Tao Jian" spell and asked Charlize to help.

As for the danger, Charlotte actually knew very well that the painted skin itself was not a powerful monster, but something else that was troublesome...

What's more, if the information he studied before traveling through time was correct, it seems that things like painted skin would not, or could not, harm women.

"Although they are exactly the same, I don't think Jodie Foster can walk through walls!"

Seeing the face that looked no different from Jodie Foster but had a completely different expression, Charlotte had already determined that it was the painted skin.

"It is said that when Hua Pi starts to frequently dedicate his heart to the prototype of Pi, it means that he is about to be liberated, right?"

His words immediately frightened the beautiful face in front of him.

"How did you know?"

The voice was very beautiful, very similar to Jodie Foster's, but Charlotte had goosebumps all over her body.

"Can you please stop speaking in this voice? I know-"

At this point, Charlotte seemed to feel a little sick,

"Under that beautiful painting, there are ferocious evil spirits, and—your souls are all men!"

Well, that's why Charlotte was feeling physically uncomfortable.

Just watching a guy who he knows is a man wearing a beautiful woman's skin and making fun of himself in front of him is disgusting enough. If he also thinks about the legend about the painted skin...

——Just kill him!

For a moment, Charlotte really wanted to give up her usual verbal style of play.

Unfortunately, the other party did not give him time to change his mind.

"Go away! This has nothing to do with you!"

What came out of the beauty's mouth was no longer a gentle whisper, but a roar like the neighing of a wild boar.

"I just need to do it one more time, sacrifice one more time, and then—"

"That will free you, right?"

Charlotte looked disgusted;

"But before that, do you want to check whether the person you are sacrificing is the right one?"

Saying,

He took the initiative to lift Li Daitao's spell.

"What? Why is this happening!?"

Huapi roared again.

At this time, in his eyes, Jodie Foster, who was originally lying on the bed, suddenly disappeared and turned into a completely strange girl.

"Is it you who caused the trouble!?"

Hua Pi turned to Charlotte suddenly and grabbed his chest.

"Do you want to rip out my heart?"

A weird smile appeared on Charlotte's lips,

"Too bad, not at Sally's house!"

As he spoke, he pronounced a word,

"Contra!"

Time seemed to stop for a moment. Huapi's hand reaching for Charlotte's chest stopped in place, unable to move forward.

At this time, you can clearly see that the nails on the slender fingers are elongating, with a cold light shining like blades.

"Arnold, Sylvester, it's up to you!"

As she said this, the corners of Charlotte's mouth twitched.

Afterwards, along with a burst of electronic sound that made him extremely nostalgic, the movie posters of "First Blood" and "Terminator 2" suddenly glowed brightly on the wall of Charlize's house.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger, two muscular men, suddenly jumped out of their respective movie posters!

However, their real names here are——

“Mad dogs and scorpions!!”

Charlize, who was lying on the bed, had opened her eyes.

**********

Charlize didn't actually fall asleep.

It wasn't that she wasn't sleeping deeply or that she was closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep. In fact, the girl did fall asleep just now, but after that, she did not fall into the sweet darkness like when she fell asleep normally.

On the contrary, Charlize was like a ghost who had left his body, floating in his room.

She could see herself lying on the bed, she could also see Charlotte guarding her, and she could even see the posters of Rambo and T-800 posted on the wall!

"Am I turning into a ghost?"

If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably be scared out of her wits at this point - well, that's the wrong word, this is the state of "out of mind" - but Charlize was not.

Having been with Charlotte for such a long time, and having experienced ghost time several times, she can be said to be well-informed, and naturally she will not be so easily scared.

What's more -

"This must be the fault of that guy pretending to sleep again!"

Charlize looked at Charlotte guarding her body, thinking bitterly about how to punish this man who always liked to hide things from her, but she was not afraid at all.

——That’s right, by now, if the girl still couldn’t see that Charlotte had been pretending to sleep before, she would really have become the standard silly sweetheart in chick flicks.

——If nothing else, if Charlotte wasn't pretending to sleep, why did the girl immediately turn into a ghost as soon as she fell asleep?

Charlize didn't think this was a natural phenomenon. And that guy was the only person she knew who knew magic.

The girl tried to move around, but soon discovered that she could not touch anything or pass through walls. Even if he returns to his own body, he cannot return to his body.

"I hope this situation won't last too long!"

Charlize thought a little boredly,

"A ghost that can't walk through walls is a ghost?"

After that, she saw shocking scenes——

First Jodie Foster walked through the wall;

Then the other party bizarrely sacrificed his heart to Charlize's body;

At this time, Charlotte woke up from pretending to sleep, and even revealed the fact that the other party was not Jodie Foster, but a kind of ghost named "Painted Skin".

"What's going on!?"

Listening to the conversation between Charlotte and Huapi that no one else could understand, Charlize felt that her curiosity was about to boil over, until——

"careful!"

Watching the painting grab Charlotte's chest, Charlize instinctively wanted to remind her, but the next moment, she was suddenly pulled towards her body by a strong suction force, and then fell into darkness again.

Then she opened her eyes.

The familiar ceiling told her that she was back in her body again.

At this time, a familiar electronic sound was ringing in Charlize's ears.

"Isn't this the cassette game I played with those four geeks last time at Penny's house?"

——Before, Charlize did not dare to go to Penny's house for a while because she realized that she had made many mistakes in showing off in front of her friend Penny. But in the end, she mustered up the courage to apologize.

As a true, silly and sweet person, Penny easily forgave her and even apologized to her, saying that she shouldn't be jealous of her good friend's success. This actually made Charlize Feeling even more guilty.

Afterwards, the two beautiful girls apologized to each other, causing the scene to be very chaotic. It was not until Penny's neighbor Leonard came to invite her to play cassette games that it came to an end.

——As far as Charlize knows, Leonard is one of the four geeks who often harass Penny, and he is the one who harasses the most.

"Isn't this guy's thoughts too obvious?"

Charlize doesn't dislike Penny's suitor, although she is not optimistic about his success rate.

However, Leonard is quite good at games, at least that's what Charlize thought when he took Penny and Charlize to play a game called "Contra".

Although, the girl's attention was quickly attracted by the game itself——

"Aren't these Arnold and Sylvester!?"

As soon as she saw the two protagonists in the game, Charlize, a fan girl, immediately recognized her idols. At the same time, she also realized the sinister intentions of the game developers.

"You named them Mad Dog and Scorpion because you didn't want to pay royalties for the image rights?"

Regardless, Charlize loved the game.

So now, as soon as she heard the electronic sound, Charlize recalled it. And what I saw when I opened my eyes was the two names blurted out:

“Mad dogs and scorpions!!”

"Hey, isn't it Bill and Lance?"

Charlotte was a little surprised by the name Charlize mentioned, but he shrugged immediately.

"Well, maybe those two names are in the American version of Contra."

At this time, two sturdy men had already taken action to restrain the painted skin——

The moment they arrived, Huapi's entire body seemed to be imprisoned by some force.

He was completely unable to move, and was suddenly caught by two muscular men who jumped out.

Each of them grabbed one of Hua Pi's arms and lifted him off the ground, like two eagles tearing apart a chick.

——Well, if you don’t consider the cause and effect and just look at the scene in front of you, it looks more like two muscular villains bullying a slender beauty.

Unfortunately, neither Charlotte nor Charlize were indifferent to the scene before them. Charlize even took the opportunity to ask questions;

"They're not really Arnold and Sylvester, are they?"

The girl looked at the two real idols in front of her, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

"of course not."

Charlotte was somewhat resistant to the girl's star-chasing mentality, and unconsciously began to spit out venom.

"If it were a real person, he would either be scared to death or have his heart ripped out!"

"Hey, you are not allowed to insult my idol!"

"Do you really think that your idols can fight one against a hundred? What's more, you are facing a ghost now!"

Charlotte's answer was a bit angry, but the girl smiled happily after hearing it.

"So I still have to rely on you now, right?"

"..."

Charlotte suddenly realizes that he has fallen into Charlize's trap. But looking at the girl's expression like a little fox snickering, he couldn't say anything else.

"The two of them are actually the door gods I invited."

"Please...the door god!?"

Charlize couldn't understand Charlotte's words.

"Do you remember the decorations I made at your house when Alexis happened?"

"Remember. You said that you made Arnold and Sylvester my door gods."

Charlize looked reminiscing, and for some reason, she seemed very happy.

"That was my first introduction to magic!"

"And now this is an enhanced version based on the general door god's spell - invite the door god!"

"Can this kind of magic make the virtual image in my mind materialize into reality?"

Charlize looked at the two muscular men and always thought they were the same as real people.

"Only in temples that have been arranged in advance."

Charlotte explained,

"Actually, if my mana hadn't increased significantly some time ago, I wouldn't have been able to use this spell."

"is that so?"

Charlize rolled her eyes;

"So, the temple you call is my home, right? But when did you complete the decoration?"

"Just now, when I was pretending to be asleep - there is no point in decorating something like a temple in reality. The key is to decorate it in a dream."

——As expected, he was pretending to sleep!

The girl couldn't help but grind her teeth.

Charlotte was unaware of the girl's dissatisfaction and continued:

"Actually, if it hadn't been for the huge sales of the game "Contra", which gave Arnold and Sylvester the image of appearing together in people's minds, I would have hired both the doorkeeper and the doorkeeper at the same time. The two of them will probably have to spend twice as much mana to do it.”

——Otherwise, we have to wait until the "Suicide Squad" series or "Escape Plan" is released.

Of course, Charlotte would not say such things about predicting the future.

"So when I looked at them, my first reaction was the Mad Dog and Scorpion from Contra, not Rambo and the T-800?"

Charlize also understood,

"The electronic sound just now was also a side effect of you summoning them based on "Contra", right?"

"Yes! That's the background music of the game!"

Charlotte smiled;

"Just like when Darth Vader appears, the "Imperial March" will always be played."

"Listening to what you said, I really want to try putting up a poster of Darth Vader..."

The girl whispered,

"Then it was your spell that caused my soul to leave my body as soon as I fell asleep?"

"That's a side effect of Li Daitao's spell."

Charlotte hurriedly explained,

"While asleep, the soul temporarily leaves the body, and its own breath will weaken, so that in the eyes of ghosts and ghosts, it will look more like the person it is replacing. This process is very safe and will not cause any harm."

"So my soul left my body as soon as I fell asleep?"

Charlize suddenly realized,

"And I returned to the body because you lifted the spell?"

"Yes."

"But why can't I leave this room or touch any objects when my soul leaves my body?"

"That's the protective effect of the temple!"

Charlotte looked like it was natural,

"This temple is prepared for the door god, and the door god will naturally protect the owner of the house."

After saying that, the witty man quickly changed the subject.

"Now, let us take care of this Painted Skin Ghost first!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the painting that still looked like Jodie Foster.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
