Chapter 5 Deadly Video Tape - Money or Death

"Is this really my video from last night?"

Seeing the woman who was exactly like her in the video speak words that she couldn't even imagine, Sally was full of surprises.

"Could it be that what the man in front of me who was knocked unconscious by himself is telling the truth? God, if this is a nightmare, please wake me up quickly!"

Miss Hypocrites, who had never been to church for more than ten years, couldn't help praying. However, like the cowboy, God is too busy to answer the prayers of a hypocrite.

"Why does Penny meet at most four geeks, but I have to meet you, this..."

Sally shook her head exasperatedly, annoyed that she couldn't find the right adjective.

"What is this?"

Charlotte didn't care about Sally's anger at all,

"If you use a movie as an analogy, the current situation should be similar to "Scientific Ghostbusters", right? As an actor, it shouldn't be cool to experience the plots that can only be seen in movies?"

"Cool? I feel cold all over!"

Sally looked at Charlotte coldly,

“I think it’s more like Kid in the Cornfield than Science Ghostbusters.”

"The Stephen King one?"

"you know?"

Sally was surprised that Charlotte knew the movie she was talking about. The original work of this movie is indeed a novel by Stephen King, but compared to the famous "Carrie", this novel is quite inconspicuous in the almost life-sized works of that great writer. At least she herself would never have known the name if she hadn't happened to audition for "Kids in the Cornfield 3".

——Speaking of which, although the audition was only for a small role, but there has been no news after such a long time, it is probably out of play!

If it was normal, Sally would definitely be depressed for a while when she realized that she had failed the audition, but this time, facing the even more shocking and weird reality, she didn't have that mood at all.

"But speaking of it, it seems that in many thriller and horror movies, things like guns are useless except at the end, right?"

Perhaps recalling the situation where Sally pointed a gun just now, Charlotte suddenly brought up such a topic that only lovers of CUTE movies would discuss. Although Sally was not interested, she was distracted by him.

"Not necessarily!"

The blond girl responded casually,

"In many horror movies, aren't guns used to accidentally injure family and friends and commit suicide?"

"Yeah! That's exactly what the constitution allows us to legally own with guns. Kill yourself and your family before you kill yourself, isn't it?"

"..."

Sally can only say nothing about this kind of remark that in the Hoover era, it is likely to cause the FBI to send FedEx to the door.

"However, in many cases, things like guns are really useless!"

She couldn't help but think of the scene just now——

Obviously she was the one pointing the gun at the other party, but Sally felt that she was the weak one. She looked at the man in front of her who had saved her, and was probably fascinated by her, but the right hand holding the gun was unconsciously trembling.

Shoot! Sally! The man in front of you is a liar. He did the most annoying thing to you. Didn't you swear to your mother? Be sure to protect yourself...

As the girl said this to herself, her finger was on the trigger of the pistol, but she couldn't pull it no matter what, as if the trigger was extremely heavy. The scene at that time could not help reappearing in front of her eyes——

"Although I can probably guess why you are so excited."

The man's calm voice sounded, pulling Sally back from her memories,

"But I have to tell you, things are not what you think."

"Do you think I still believe your words?"

"Believe it or not! But did you do it last night,

Don't you feel at all yourself? "

"this……"

Although there is only underwear left on her body, it really doesn't look like she took it off and put it on again, and her lower body really doesn't feel strange, but...

"Of course, I admit that you did not pass out naturally last night. I drugged you."

Charlotte confessed her crime very calmly, as if discussing what to have for breakfast for a while.

"It's methaphen. It is said that if you take the right amount, your susceptibility will increase a lot when you do it. I don't know if it's true."

"you……"

Sally wanted to pull the trigger more and more. However, the other party had done something bad, but he was still calm and natural, as if he was saving the world, but the girl couldn't help but want to listen to his words.

"There's a reason I'm doing this—do you remember what I said to you when we first met at the hospital yesterday?"

"Is it something like I'm haunted by a ghost?"

"Yes. But those aren't bullshit!"

The man's eyes were facing Sally's, as if he wanted to convince her through his eyes that

"That is true!"

"What!?"

"If you don't believe me, just watch this first!"

Before Sally wanted to say anything, Charlotte stuffed a video tape into her hand——

——Back in time——

"Even if the tape is real, you want me to believe..."

Sally stopped in the middle of her words, because she didn't know how to describe it, and it took her a long time to continue,

"I don't know if I should believe your words now. By the way, can you tell me how this video tape came about?"

"Video tape, this is not your yesterday..."

Sally interrupted the other party's answer with a gesture:

"I know that. I'm not asking about the contents of the tape, but the tape itself."

"This is your own home, I just borrowed it."

"……really!"

As an actress who has just transformed from a model, Sally's acting skills can only be described as horrible. She knows this well, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. However, she also knows that to gain a foothold in Hollywood, beauty alone is not enough-there are countless beautiful girls who come to the City of Angels every year to pursue their star dreams, and she will definitely not be the most beautiful among them, let alone the most beautiful It may not be possible to be a top performer—so, she still has to try to improve her acting skills.

Before, according to the introduction of some seniors, she bought a home video recorder to record her performance during practice for later research. However, she soon discovered that this was a very stupid thing——

Not because it's useless. On the contrary, by watching the video, she found countless problems in her performance, but she had no idea how to improve it. Although it's not that she hasn't taken a special acting class, when it comes to real acting, she feels as stiff as a robot, and she completely returns what she has learned to the teacher.

Therefore, that video recorder quickly became the most expensive piece of decoration in Sally's house. Although she felt very sorry, she couldn't deal with it for a while. Unexpectedly, it was used by Charlotte today.

"Which corner did you find the video recorder?"

In fact, because she just lost her role and didn't get paid, Sally was still trying to find the VCR yesterday and sell it in exchange for some living expenses. But thanks to her usual habit of throwing things away, she couldn't find them no matter what.

"You vomited all over yourself last night, and I rummaged through your closet to replace it for you."

Charlotte answered Sally's question seriously, but with a smirk on her face,

"In the end, although you didn't find any clean clothes for you to change, you accidentally found this under the pile of dirty clothes—"

He pointed to the video recorder, as if pointing something authentically,

"The layout of your home really opened my eyes and completely refreshed my understanding of women."

"Less, less wordy! Can't women be sloppy?"

Even Sally, when faced with this kind of ridicule, her face turned red and her confidence was a little lacking.

"I'm fine with this, you haven't seen my friend Penny, her family, hey..."

--Birds of a feather flock together. This is also one of the reasons why she and Penny can become friends.

Relying on the wonderful performance of selling her teammates at the critical moment, Sally finally ended this embarrassing topic. Originally, she wanted to condemn the other party's behavior of rummaging through her things, but now she can't say it.

"So, did you come up with the idea of ​​recording the evidence for me after turning to the video recorder?"

"Yes."

"What if you don't have this? You were going to do either?"

"original?"

Charlotte tilted her head and thought for a while,

"Go away!"

"ah!?"

This answer was definitely beyond Sally's expectations, but the other party thought she didn't understand, so she continued to add:

"I originally planned to leave secretly after carefully confirming whether you really had the aura left by ghosts on your body. I expected that it would be troublesome for you to wake up in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the gun that Sally was still holding.

"This is just a moment of excitement."

Sally put away her pistol as she spoke—she really believed what Charlotte said,

"I won't actually shoot!"

——or rather, unable to fire the gun.

She silently added in her heart.

"So. What's the matter with your so-called cheating? Aren't you a witcher?"

"Witcher?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow,

"Have you watched too many fantasy movies!?"

"ah!?"

"As I said, I'm just curious about your situation and want to see it."

Charlotte's words were full of malice, as if she was upset at being pointed at a gun before venting,

"I shouldn't have said that I will solve the problem for you, have I?"

"this……"

When he said this, Sally believed it even more, but in this way, things would be troublesome—the man in front of him should be the only person Sally knows who has knowledge in this area. If he doesn't help, Sally Who did Li go to to help her get rid of the possessed evil spirit she saw in the video tape just now?

It's not a good thing to just listen to the evil spirit, especially the other party said before—that is, the time Sally thought he was talking nonsense in the hospital—even her previous suicide was probably caused by the evil spirit ghost. Recalling the video she saw just now, Sally couldn't help but feel chills all over her body.

"You have this ability, isn't it just to help people like me?"

The girl who is too young too simple finally decided to show her love and move her with reason.

"Isn't it said that with great power comes great responsibility?"

"Do you also believe this kind of words that are specially used to deceive children?"

The other party looked at Sally with a look of "Your IQ is in arrears, please renew as soon as possible",

"The kid who said that, his adoptive father passed away, his girlfriend almost ran away with someone, and he is so exhausted every day, but he can only work part-time in a magazine..."

"Okay! My fault."

Sally, who didn't believe this nonsense, readily admitted her mistake before the other party finished speaking.

"Say it straight! How can you help me?"

"help you?"

The corners of Charlotte's mouth curled up, like a wolf catching a fat sheep,

"It's easy, pay for it!"
