Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 500: The price of fear

"by myself!?"

"Yes."

Patrick Jane nodded solemnly at Downey.

"My spell only guarantees that you will not get pleasure from anesthesia or medicine. But addiction, whether it is physical or psychological dependence, still needs to be quit by yourself."

"That's already good!"

There was a big smile on Downey’s face.

"For me, this is equivalent to drawing a salary from the bottom of the tank, solving the biggest problem-other parts, I think I can still do it."

"That's not necessarily!"

Patrick Jane smiled sadly.

"If my purely compulsory means are so beautiful, how do you think alternative medicines such as methadone were born?"

"You mean—"

"My method is essentially the same as tying you to a chair when you are drug addicted-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. And the more painful is because I make you no longer able to experience that feeling, so you may be more psychologically attached to that feeling. Miss."

"In other words, with this method, my heart addiction will be more difficult to get rid of!?"

Having become a good doctor for a long time, Downey is very experienced in detoxification, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Yes."

Patrick Jane nodded.

"From a certain point of view, that's true. But it's actually not the most painful part."

"Then what is the most painful part? What price do I have to pay?"

After listening to Patrick Jane, Downey also realized that the "spell" of the other party didn't seem so beautiful anymore.

However, thinking that this method can really make him completely quit drug addiction, he still feels that it is worth it.

——It’s just that I don’t know what additional cost will be required.

"The cost is actually not very high."

Patrick Jane shrugged.

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

"You mean—"

"All the hobbies that make you feel happy and enjoyable, now have to stop!"

Patrick Jane stretched out his finger to list them one by one.

"In addition to drugs, gambling and cigarettes are also on this list. Even alcohol and women, and even eating all-you-can-eat food can trigger my spells."

"What? Why is this!?"

Downey asked in surprise.

"With such a pure heart, I might as well be an ascetic monk."

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

Patrick Jane smiled wryly.

"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 of my spell is actually the secretion of dopamine in your body. This can offset the effect of the drug to the greatest extent, but it will also accidentally hurt some normal hobbies. You can understand it as chemotherapy!"

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

Downey shrugged.

"But, will this situation last a lifetime?"

"That's not true!"

Patrick Jane shook his head.

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

"Although it is impossible to fully recover, your body will recover somewhat over time. At that time, this spell can also distinguish the general secretion of dopamine."

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

"...Not for a lifetime!"

Finally, Downey nodded.

——Compared with not knowing how long it will take to get rid of drugs and addictions, or even being unable to get rid of them for a lifetime, he can still bear it for a few years.

"However, I didn't expect that there is such a scientific element in your spells!"

Judy Foster and Patrick Jane, no, they were talking to Charlotte.

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

——She still has something to discuss with Charlotte.

However, Charlotte gave her a daunting answer as soon as she came up.

"There is no scientific element in this spell, it is purely I am lying to you."

"..."

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

"Won't you tell me that the spell you gave Donny is useless at all?"

"That's not it."

Charlotte shook her head.

"Spells are effective, but the principle is not like that at all."

"Can you tell me something?"

Judy Foster asked curiously.

"it's actually really easy."

Charlotte smirked.

"I just found the remnant soul of a person who died from drug addiction, changed it to the simplest ghost, and then attached it to Downey's body."

"So it is!"

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

"That ghost will stop Downey in pain when he comes into contact with those drugs, won't it?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"As for the other side effects, they are actually just the interference of the ghost itself, which will gradually disappear over time."

"...You are such a badass!"

The queen lady who wanted to understand what was going on also laughed.

"However, since just let the ghost be attached to Downey's body, you pretend to be a ghost, and make him dream about being almost hanged~lightnovelpub.net~ What is it for? It's not because of fun, right? ?"

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

Charlotte smiled disgustingly.

"However, the main purpose is indeed not this-because this ordinary ghost created by me is too weak, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to attach it to a living person and interfere with the behavior of the living person, but , If a person is near death—"

"When you are dying, you can easily possess and succeed, right?"

Judy Foster understood.

"That's it."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Wait, something is wrong!"

Miss Shadow Queen suddenly realized a problem,

"Didn't you say that Downey was almost hanged, but it was actually the dream you created for us? Does the near-death state in the dream count?"

"that……"

Charlotte tilted her head.

"That's a lie to you!"

"what!!?"

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

Charlotte explained,

"It's just that, after the ghost I created successfully possessed, I used the magic technique to make all three of you fall asleep, and then put Downey down again to let him recover."

"...In other words, it was not in a dream that Downey hanged himself?"

"Yes."

"...You guy is really bad!"

Judy Foster sighed.

"How can Sally stand you?"

"Well..."

Charlotte shrugged, shamelessly,

"Probably attracted by my talents!"

——Although it’s true that girls are getting harder and harder to lie...
