Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 152 The Shining

"That day, my father came back drunk and wanted to beat me and my mother out of anger. My mother and I were very scared at the time."

After crying, Charlize quietly recalled,

"My mother held me and pointed a shotgun at him, trying to get him not to come over. He didn't listen, and then"

"The gun went off?"

"Yes."

The expression on the girl's face was very complicated. She couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing.

"We were all stunned at the time. I didn't even realize that I was the one who touched the trigger first. His abdomen was stained with blood. Then my mother threw me away like crazy and shot him again. Second shot.”

"Second shot!?"

Now Charlotte really didn’t understand,

"why is that?"

"I didn't understand it at the time either."

Charlize seemed to want to cry again. She bit her lip before continuing,

"Later, when the police investigated, my mother still refused to let me speak. I realized that she wanted to protect me."

"Cover the old fingerprint with the new one on the trigger?"

Charlotte understood;

"...Your mother really loves you!"

"yes!"

The girl smiled lonely,

"Unfortunately, after that, she was reluctant to talk to me."

After all, it was you who fired the first shot!

Charlotte could imagine Charlize's mother's complicated emotions when facing her. But he didn't mean to expose the girl's scars,

"You told me before that you doubted whether your father's affairs were influenced by ghosts. Is this what you were talking about?"

"yes!"

Charlize smiled bitterly,

"You're also deceiving yourself, aren't you?"

“That’s not necessarily the case.

"

Charlotte didn't dare to say anything. He was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to bear the excitement.

"However, for what happened a few years ago, it is difficult to trace the relevant ghost traces. Sally, although I promised you to find a solution for you, but"

Charlotte considered her words for a moment before speaking slowly,

"Even if I do find out the results later, it may not be of any benefit to you. After all, everything is irreversible. I think the best choice for you now is"

"Give up, right?"

Charlotte nodded.

"I also want to give up, or even forget about this matter completely!"

The girl held her head in pain,

"But I just can't forget it!! You still remember that time I pointed a gun at you, right?"

"That time when we first met?"

"yes!"

Charlize also showed a recalling expression,

"That gun was given to me by my mother for self-defense. I had never pointed it at anyone before. Until that time, I actually didn't dare to shoot."

"Is it because of your father's affairs?"

"Yes. When I wanted to pull the trigger, I remembered that time and my whole hand lost all strength."

The girl raised her right hand in front of her face, looking dazed.

"At the time, I thought I was just nervous about pointing a gun at someone for the first time, but that time in the wall-painted world of "Happy Death Day", I realized that I no longer dared to pull the trigger."

"So that's it."

Charlotte solved a doubt in her mind.

He looked at the blonde girl in front of him and sighed in his heart.

Sally's father left her with too many psychological barriers!

However, the problem now is not Charlize;

"Sally, your mother probably suffered from mental illness because of this!"

After something like this happened, it would be strange not to leave a psychological barrier!

After all, as long as they are not naturally indifferent or psychologically obsessed, killing fellow humans will always have a great psychological impact on people. What's more, the one who killed him was his own husband!

Charlotte felt that Charlize's mother was already strong enough not to go crazy on the spot, not to mention that she had to protect her daughter who inadvertently triggered the trigger...

“With so many things on my mind, it’s easy to have mental problems!”

"yes!"

Charlize nodded,

"After that incident, my mother and I left South Africa, first to Europe and then to the United States, but my mother's mental state became worse and worse..."

"I see."

Charlotte held the girl's hand and signaled her not to recall the painful memories.

"You asked me to come this time because you actually wanted me to see if your father's ghost is causing trouble in your mother, right?"

The girl's face suddenly turned pale.

"……Yes."

It took her a long time before she murmured an answer.

"What a pity! Your father's ghost is not here!"

Charlotte rejected the girl's expectations with a wry smile.

He really wanted to tell Charlize that this was her father's ghost causing trouble, which should make the girl feel better.

The problem is, that's not the case.

Even if he could make up a lie and pull it off, Charlize's ultimate goal was actually to get him to help restore his mother's sanity, which couldn't be solved by deception...

He could only tell the truth.

and

"Sally, although there are indeed some abnormalities here, fundamentally, the problem between you and your mother is still heart-breaking!"

Charlotte put her hands on Charlize's shoulders and forced the girl to look into her eyes.

"Just like if I prove in the future that something about your father was caused by a ghost, it won't change the fact that he abused you and your mother, just like we can't put our responsibility on the ghost!"

"you"

The girl's face suddenly turned red, and she waved subconsciously

"Snapped!"

Seeing the slap he slapped on Charlotte's face, Charlize was stunned.

"Why didn't you block this time?"

There was a cry in her voice as she recalled the night she had confided in Charlotte.

"It's not fun this time!"

Charlotte had a wry smile on her face,

"Wouldn't it be pointless if we blocked it?"

As he spoke, he rubbed the half of his face that was red from the girl's slap with his hand, and looked to the side to see that something was wrong. The nursing staff who came over waved their hands to indicate that it was just a misunderstanding.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"you……"

The girl didn't know how to describe the strange man in front of her.

"As a **, you are so clumsy, you can't even speak sweet words!"

"Because there's no way to talk sweetly about this kind of thing!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly, but knew that the girl had listened to his words, so he said seriously,

"Besides, I still have a few things to make sure about your mother."

"whats the matter?"

Seeing Charlotte's solemn look, Charlize also realized that what he was talking about was serious, and quickly wiped his eyes that were blurred by tears. Charlotte continued:

"As I just said, your mother's situation is actually quite normal from a psychological point of view. However, from a magical perspective, there is indeed a similar situation called Soul Leaving Syndrome!"

"Soul-leaving syndrome!?"

"This is actually another term for mental illness or sleepwalking. However, in terms of magic, soul-leaving syndrome refers to the situation where part of the soul leaves the body when a person has psychological problems. "

"You mean"

Charlize thought for a moment,

"Is it like what happened to me when I dealt with Hua Pi last time?"

When dealing with Hua Pi for the first time, Charlotte used a spell to temporarily remove Charlize's soul from her body. Charlize recalled what it felt like then.

"Similar to that!"

Charlotte nodded,

"So, I must first confirm whether your mother's soul is partially separated from the body. If so, then it is indeed a problem that magic can handle."
