Chatty Hollywood

"by myself!?"

"Yes."

Patrick Jane nodded solemnly towards Downey,

"This spell of mine only ensures that you cannot get pleasure from anesthetics. But addiction problems, whether it is physical dependence or psychological dependence, still require you to quit on your own."

"That's already good!"

A big smile appeared on Donnie's face,

"For me, this is equivalent to removing the firepower and solving the biggest problem - other parts, I think I can still do it."

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Patrick Jane smiled sadly,

"If my purely coercive approach is so wonderful, then how do you think alternative medicines like methadone were born?"

"You mean-"

"My method is essentially the same as tying you to a chair when you are addicted to drugs - it's just that my rope will always follow you."

A wry smile appeared on Patrick Jane's face,

"But you should know that this method is very painful. What's even more painful is that I prevent you from experiencing that feeling anymore, so psychologically, you may be particularly sensitive to that feeling. Miss you."

"In other words, using this method will make it more difficult to get rid of my addiction!?"

After a long illness, Downey became a good doctor. He was very experienced in detoxification. He immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Yes."

Patrick Jane nodded,

"In a way, that's true. But that's not the most painful part."

"What's the most painful part? What else do I have to pay?"

After listening to Patrick Jane talking about it, Downey also realized that the other party's "spell" didn't seem so good anymore.

However, he still felt it was worth it when he thought that this method could really help him completely get rid of drug addiction.

——It’s just that I don’t know what additional price I need to pay.

"The price is actually not very high."

Patrick Jane shrugged.

"However, for many people, it is indeed very painful."

"You mean-"

"All indulgences that make you happy and pleasurable must stop now!"

Patrick Jane stretched out his finger and listed them one by one,

"In addition to drugs, gambling and cigarettes are also included. Even alcohol, women, and even eating all the delicious food can trigger my spell."

"What? Why is this happening!?"

Donnie asked in surprise,

"With such a pure heart and few desires, I might as well become an ascetic."

"You just have to be an ascetic for a few years!"

Patrick Jane said with a wry smile,

"On the one hand, this is conducive to your complete psychological withdrawal. On the other hand, this is also an inevitable requirement of the spell I cast."

He explained,

"The triggering condition for my spell is actually the secretion of dopamine in your body. This can offset the effects of drugs to the greatest extent, but it can also accidentally damage some more normal hobbies. Just think of it as chemotherapy!"

"Well, it's worth it if you can actually quit."

Donnie shrugged.

"But will this last a lifetime?"

"That won't happen!"

Patrick Jane shook his head,

"This is happening now, to a certain extent, because the dopamine secretion in your body has been completely disrupted."

"Although it is impossible to fully recover, as time goes by, your body will recover to some extent. At that time, this spell will be able to distinguish between general dopamine secretion."

"It's just that before that, you probably have to wait a few years."

"...It won't last a lifetime!"

Finally, Donnie nodded.

——Compared with not knowing how long it will take to get rid of drug addiction, or even being unable to get rid of it for a lifetime, he can still endure it for a few years.

"but,

I didn’t expect that your spells have such scientific elements! "

Jodie Foster said to Patrick Jane, no, to Charlotte.

At this time, Mel Gibson had already left with Downey, but the movie queen quietly turned back.

——She still has some things to discuss with Charlotte.

However, Charlotte gave an answer that confused her as soon as she came up.

"There is no scientific component in this spell. I am just lying to you."

"..."

Judy blinked in confusion for a long time before asking with a wry smile,

"You couldn't tell me that the spell you cast on Donnie was useless, right?"

"That's not true."

Charlotte shook her head;

"The spell is effective, but the principle is not that way at all."

"Can you tell me?"

Jodie Foster asked curiously.

"it's actually really easy."

Charlotte smiled evilly and said,

"I just found the remnant soul of a person who died due to drug addiction, transformed it into the simplest ghost, and then let it possess Donnie's body."

"So that's it!"

Judy, who had also experienced several ghost incidents, understood.

"That ghost is going to stop Donny in painful ways when he comes into contact with those drugs, isn't he?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"As for other side effects, they are actually just the interference of the ghost itself. They will gradually disappear as time goes by."

"...You are such a bad guy!"

Wanting to understand what was going on, the actress also laughed.

"However, since you just let the ghost possess Donnie's body, why are you pretending to be a ghost and letting him have a dream about being hanged? It can't be just for fun, right?"

"I don't deny that it's fun."

Charlotte smiled evilly,

"However, the main purpose is really not this - because this ordinary ghost created by me is too weak, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for it to possess a living person and interfere with the behavior of the living person, but , if a person is in a state of dying——"

"It's easy to become possessed when you're near death, right?"

Jodie Foster gets it.

"That's it."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

The movie queen suddenly realized a problem,

"Didn't you say that the fact that Donnie was almost hanged was actually a dream you created for us? Does the near-death state in the dream also count?"

"that……"

Charlotte tilted her head.

"That one was a lie to you!"

"ah!!?"

"Actually, Downey was almost hanged in reality at that time."

Charlotte explained,

"It's just that after the ghost I created successfully possessed you, I used a spell to make all three of you fall asleep at once, and then put Donnie down to let him recover for a while."

"...In other words, Donnie hanging himself was not in a dream?"

"Yes."

"...You are such a bad guy!"

Jodie Foster sighed;

"How can Sally stand you?"

"Well..."

Charlotte shrugged and said shamelessly,

"Maybe he was attracted by my talent!"

——Although it is true that it is getting harder and harder to deceive girls...
