Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"By the way, boss, many viewers are urging us to update the fourth season of Sherlock Holmes. What do you think?" Zoroak walked in and handed a form recorded by the customer service department to Teng Shu. This was a form about the feedback issues received by the customer service department of Ghost Pictures.

Among them, the first question that received the most feedback was [When will the fourth season of Sherlock Holmes be filmed?] This made Teng Shu feel a little sick. He did want to film the fourth season of Sherlock Holmes, but the difficulty was indeed there. He had not yet figured out how to write the script. Thinking of this, Teng Shu felt a little headache.

The fourth season is about the duel between Holmes and the Squid King, and then the Squid King is defeated, leading to the emergence of Moriarty, the real final boss. So the content of the fourth season is actually very simple. It is about how Holmes catches the Squid King, and then discovers that there is actually another person behind the Squid King. But the problem is that there is not much description of the duel between Holmes and Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes.

Generally, a part of Moriarty's story is inserted into each case, and then the audience is told through Holmes's mouth that the real villain is Moriarty. Then Moriarty and Holmes die together in the waterfall. Of course, Holmes is resurrected in the end.

How to write this paragraph is also one of the main reasons why Teng Shu has not yet figured out how to shoot the fourth season of Sherlock Holmes.

"I understand. I'll think about it." Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows and then looked at the other two questions.

The second most frequently asked question is [When will actor Damu release a new work]? Teng Shu knows the answer to this question. After all, Damu is also shooting a movie at this time. It is a suspense film, which is very consistent with Damu's image.

The third most asked question was [How to apply for assistance from the Love Foundation], Teng Shu frowned slightly, are there so many people asking this question? But Teng Shu didn't care much about it, after all, the customer service department would definitely answer it. In addition to the first and second questions, the customer service department can answer the third question.

The first is that Teng Shu doesn't know when the filming will start, and the second is for confidentiality reasons. After all, Teng Shu can't reveal too much. Damm signed the script with other companies. Teng Shu felt a headache when he thought of this. However, Teng Shu thought of something. Although there are not many scripts in Sherlock Holmes, he can use other detective dramas to shoot it, or ask someone else to write the script.

"You ask the post-production staff to follow this editing." Teng Shu explained it to Zoroark, and then Teng Shu began to prepare to conceive the script for the fourth season.

With the help of a theater version of a certain elementary school student of the Grim Reaper and some forensic cases, Teng Shu has written two episodes. Then comes the most important third episode, which is also the key plot of having Holmes capture the Squid King and introducing Moriarty.

Teng Shu thought about this episode for a long time, and finally decided to write an original script. This time, the prototype of the murderer that Teng Shu referred to was the Green River Killer who once shocked the entire Lighthouse Country and was known as a serial killer.

The prototype of the "Green River Killer" is Gary Ridgway. Ridgway was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Beacon Country. He had an unfortunate childhood. His mother was very controlling. He witnessed violent conflicts between his parents many times, which cast a shadow in his heart. He also had a history of arson, killing cats, and almost stabbed a boy to death when he was a teenager. As an adult, he worked as a truck spray painter.

These are also regarded as a prototype template for serial killer cases in later generations. Combined with other research, people have concluded that most serial killers have similar experiences, unhappy childhoods, and psychological distortions, which has also become a routine template for many such movies.

However, Ridgeway's experience is even more terrifying, after all, he really did these things.

Since the 20s, Ridgway has committed many crimes in Seattle. His targets are mostly prostitutes and homeless young women, most of whom are under years old. Ridgway often rapes his victims and then dumps their bodies at the bottom or bank of the Green River that flows through downtown Seattle. The most perverted thing is that he will "return" to the place where the bodies are dumped, and even rape them until the bodies rot.

This case naturally attracted the attention of relevant departments, but the technology was backward at that time, so the person responsible was never caught.

It was not until the year 2000 that the relevant departments used DNA technology to capture him, but due to lack of evidence, they were unable to convict him. Later, the relevant departments reached a deal with Ridgway, and Ridgway admitted all the crimes he had committed. He was then sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Relevant departments also believe that Ridgeway did not tell the whole truth, and he has other crimes that he has not confessed to. However, because Ridgeway has already been sentenced, how many people Ridgeway killed has become a mystery. However, the forty-eight people he confessed to are enough for him to be remembered forever.

So Teng Shu thought that maybe he could use the Green River Killer to achieve his desired goal, and let Holmes catch the trace of the Squid King through the Green River Killer.

While Teng Shu was busy writing the script, in the Kanto region, a man was holding a recorder and came to a place called [First Mental Hospital in Deep Gray City], with a thoughtful look in the man's eyes.

"According to the information we have obtained so far, the two siblings who wanted to blackmail Teng Shu have both committed suicide due to mental disorders. However, this Milekai has also had problems. Is this a coincidence or..." There was a hint of doubt in the man's eyes.

Royce is an investigative reporter and originally had a bright future. However, after he investigated food safety issues in a food company, Royce was forced to take a vacation. After all, the threats from the other party were very effective.

But Royce couldn't sit still, so he decided to track and investigate some interesting things. It was at this time that Royce noticed the experience of a brother and sister. The brother and sister had problems after watching "The Grudge" directed by Teng Shu. At first, they were thinking of blackmailing Teng Shu, but things changed later.

The brother and sister had mental problems and even said that Kayako from The Grudge was chasing them. This found Royce very interesting, so he began to follow up and investigate. However, after a while, the investigation was forced to be suspended because the brother and sister committed suicide.

This made Royce feel that something was wrong. As an investigative reporter, he had seen some mentally ill people and knew that some of them would pretend to be crazy. However, this pair of siblings were not like that. They seemed to have really seen something, and apart from talking about Kayako, the pair of siblings were normal in other aspects.

This also made Royce feel that there might be some problems, but after the brother and sister died, Royce had no other clues, and who was Teng Shu? The heir of Devon Company, a super celebrity, and a famous philanthropist, it was not so easy for Royce to investigate.

As a result, another Milekai appeared, which made Royce feel that there might be some clues, so Royce came over.

After applying, Royce successfully met Mileka and asked about his experience.

There was an unspeakable fear in Milekai's eyes, and he spoke slowly.

It was a seemingly ordinary night. The lights in the ward were flickering dimly. All the other patients had fallen asleep, but he was the only one who was still awake. Suddenly, he felt a strong chill coming towards him, as if a pair of invisible hands were reaching out from the darkness, trying to touch his neck.

"I'm sure...that person is my ex-girlfriend. She's so beautiful." There was a hint of fear in Milekai's tone. Royce didn't say anything. He knew about this, but he was more curious about whether it was a coincidence or deliberate.

"I was very scared at that time." Milekai saw a blurry figure. The figure seemed to be floating in the air, emitting a strange light all around her. Her face was distorted, but Milekai was sure that it was his girlfriend. She was so beautiful.

Milekai tried to shout loudly, but found that he could not make any sound, as if he was imprisoned by something.

Royce frowned after hearing this, there are indeed ghosts in the Pokémon world, he is very sure of that, but in a mental hospital, the mental state of the patients is unstable, which may cause them to have all kinds of hallucinations. Perhaps it is the long-term inner repression, fear and fear of the unknown that makes their brains produce these strange visions.

But from Milekai's eyes, one can seem to see that he firmly believes that it is real.

"So do you think this matter has something to do with Director Teng Shu?" Royce asked Milekay, who shook his head after hearing it.

"I think this is karma. If I hadn't done this, how could I have seen the true beauty? This is fate, reporter Royce. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be visited by evil spirits." Milekai smiled bitterly. He has now accepted the reality.

If he hadn't committed such a mistake himself, Zhenmei wouldn't have hated himself so much. Milekai has already decided that he will use his entire life to atone for his sins.

Royce scratched his head. How did the plot develop in the direction of being inspired by a movie? This was really strange.

However, Royce felt that Milekai had this problem only after watching Teng Shu's movie, but no one else showed this sign, so Royce thought it might be because Milekai's inner guilt was triggered by this movie, and then the image of an evil spirit was attached to it, creating a psychological suggestion.

"Yeah, how could there be a movie these days that has the ability to drive people insane?" Royce thought he was thinking too much.

Chapter 422 Xiao Lin: I am at war with Teng Shu

Just when Royce thought he was thinking too much, Ghost Pictures released a new trailer called "The Ring", and Royce curiously clicked in to take a look. After seeing it, Royce was a little confused, because the first sentence was [A psychological horror masterpiece released by a joint psychiatrist], which Royce couldn't understand.

No buddy! I was about to give up the investigation, but you suddenly came up with this?

However, Royce still had no intention of investigating. He felt that there was no connection here. Although it seemed to be a big news, it was just his conjecture. After all, Royce himself had seen the movies directed by Teng Shu. In Royce's opinion, although Teng Shu's movies were scary, they did not have too many other elements, so Royce thought it was probably his illusion.

However, Teng Shu had no idea that he was almost investigated by others. Even if he knew, he would not care. After all, these days, if you are famous, there will always be people watching you, and some people will even be obsessed with finding some evidence against you.

What's more, Teng Shu is a rich man, so in this situation, more people are staring at Teng Shu, so Teng Shu has gotten used to it. Anyway, as long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Teng Shu is not worried about any problems, and he is still writing the plot of the Green River Killer.

After all, this is a relatively important plot branch, which is related to the duel between Sherlock Holmes and the Squid King, so how to write it excitingly and make the audience like it is a problem. Moreover, Teng Shu also knows that this part is more difficult to handle. After all, the battle of wits is something that can be applauded if written well, but will be criticized if it is not written well.

Fortunately, Teng Shu was not fighting alone. With the operation of Ghost Pictures, Teng Shu soon got a pretty good proposal from a reader's submission.

The popularity of Sherlock Holmes has also led to many readers sending in detective stories that they think are very good, hoping that Sherlock Holmes will star in them. Of course, the protagonist in their stories is also Sherlock Holmes, but the quality of the manuscripts can only be said to be very poor, so they are often eliminated. However, this time the story is unexpectedly good, and Teng Shu himself took a look at it and found it to be very exciting.

The only problem is that this thing is not related to the Green River Killer, but Teng Shu still plans to use it. At worst, he can make it the third episode, and then turn Green River into the fourth episode. That would be enough. Thinking of this, Teng Shu asked Zoroark to contact the other party.

Although the other party provided free submissions, if Teng Shu intended to use them, he would definitely have to avoid legal issues in this regard. Teng Shu was quite concerned about this aspect. After all, legal issues these days really require caution, otherwise it is easy to be cheated.

"Filming a movie is not easy. Hey? Miss Sadako, why did you come out?" Teng Shu looked at Miss Sadako in front of him with some surprise. He was just wondering why this plot was so difficult to write, but he didn't expect that while he was writing, Sadako would come out. It was still quite scary when he suddenly turned around and saw Sadako.

"." Sadako didn't say anything, but made a gesture. When Teng Shu saw the gesture, he knew what Sadako meant. Sadako wanted to go and see those Pokémon. Teng Shu was not surprised. After all, Sadako seemed to like Pokémon particularly and had been pestering Xiao Q and Xiao Ye every day during this period.

"Let's go, I also want to change my mood." Teng Shu smiled, then took Sadako out of the office and drove to Chenghua Forest in his own car.

Speaking of Pokémon, the breeding house has a full range of Pokémon, but if you want to see your own Pokémon living happily in the wild, then there is no doubt that you can only see it in places like forests. This is why Teng Shu brought Sadako to the Orange Forest. Moreover, there are a lot of people visiting the Orange Forest, and there are a large number of wild Pokémon living in it.

However, it is not easy to encounter wild Pokémon, especially the smarter ones, which often go out of their way to avoid people. Of course, there are also some Pokémon that like to interact with humans.

"Orange Forest." Teng Shu drove here by himself this time. He did not bring Zoroark with him. After all, other people could not see Sadako. If he brought Zoroark with him, Teng Shu would have to explain why he did so, which was too troublesome. Therefore, Teng Shu did not bring Zoroark with him.

Sadako looked around curiously. This was her first time here, but as she watched the Pokémon flash by in the wild, there was a hint of joy in Sadako's eyes.

While Teng Shu was busy taking Sadako around, Kobayashi was sitting in his seat, looking a little restless.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?" Xiao Lin's colleague poked Xiao Lin's waist with a smile. Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly and glanced at his colleague.

This colleague was the female colleague who was always assigned to the same group with him every time he watched a movie. Kobayashi remembered her because they were all members of the film review team for the unfortunate director Teng Shu. For some reason, they were always there when reviewing director Teng Shu's films, which made him very helpless.

"That's not the case. I just think... Look, there are three of us reviewing the film today." Kobayashi said helplessly, and the female colleague fell silent after seeing the bald middle-aged uncle.

"It shouldn't be, right? After all, the three of us have been reviewing movies together for a long time, and sometimes we don't encounter this problem." The female colleague still comforted Xiao Lin. She felt that the possibility was not very high. Xiao Lin was silent for a while after hearing this. This was true, but he still had some strange feelings in his heart.

The next second, a staff member hurried in and looked at Xiaolin and the others with a strange expression. Xiaolin sighed resignedly.

Sure enough, director Teng Shu’s movie is here again.

"I remember the name of this movie is The Ring, right?" The middle-aged man sat in his seat with a smile on his face, holding a thermos cup in his hand, which exuded a strong tea aroma.

"Yes, I've seen it before, and I thought Director Teng Shu had sent it to other places for review, but I didn't expect it to be here." The girl wiped off her makeup with the touch-up brush. Director Teng Shu's movies are very good, but they are too scary. It's not good to ruin your makeup if you're not careful.

"I guess he forgot about it after the trailer was made, but it's a psychological horror. Do you know what it is?" Xiao Lin asked hesitantly. He also saw the trailer of this movie shot by Director Teng Shu, which was quite interesting. However, what Xiao Lin was more concerned about was what the content of this movie trailer meant.

What is psychological horror?

"I know this. It's generally divided into body horror. For example, a person looks very weird, or a person looks like a human, but in fact, he is not if you look closely. This is called the uncanny valley effect. And some ordinary things in daily life suddenly become supernatural." The girl said proudly. In order to understand this thing, the girl searched it specially. Although it was a last-minute effort, at least she knew something.

"." Xiao Lin remained silent. He suddenly felt very uneasy.

As the movie began, people quieted down. Xiao Lin watched the movie quietly. The story was very exciting. At the beginning, the concept of a curse was thrown out, and it was stated that the curse was that one would die after seven days. This made Xiao Lin a little curious. Then, the female internet celebrity in the movie also chose to watch this documentary for traffic.

Xiaolin was very absorbed in watching the film, until the end, when he suddenly discovered a problem, that is, this film is somewhat different from director Teng Shu's previous style. If director Teng Shu's previous style was purely scary, then this film is somewhat different.

"Why do I feel hairy all over?" Xiao Lin rubbed his arms, feeling a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to watch the movie in front of him.

When we watched the last scene, when Sadako crawled out of the pupils of the Pokémon next to the heroine, the suppressed fear suddenly broke out. The strong sense of fear caused screams to emanate from the screening room.

For a moment, all the colleagues outside looked at this place with sympathy. Kobayashi and his colleagues were really unlucky. Every time Director Teng Shu released a movie, it was basically Kobayashi and his colleagues who went to watch it. They didn't know how this movie would be.

".How do you feel?" The middle-aged uncle was the first to speak, with some cold sweat on his forehead. When he saw Sadako crawling out just now, with the blessing of the master-level camera language, it was as if he saw Sadako crawling out of his own Pokémon's eyes. This made the uncle a little unconfident, and he even felt that he might not dare to look into his own Pokémon's eyes.

"It's scary. It's only for adults, right?" Xiao Lin was the first to speak. This last scene was like an explosive, instantly detonating the gunpowder that had been accumulated for so long. The strong sense of fear even made Xiao Lin feel like his heart was about to stop.

"But I think even if it is limited to minors, probably no minors would dare to watch it." The girl said helplessly. She was scared and broke out in a sweat, because she happened to have one of the Pokémon that the heroine was looking at, and she also liked to communicate with her Pokémon in this way. At this moment, the girl even suspected that Teng Shu was peeping into her life.

"I find the psychological fear very interesting. Frankly speaking, the previous plot is not very scary and it is easy for people to relax, but Director Teng Shu cleverly uses psychological fear to grab the audience's attention. I don't know if you have this feeling, but after watching most of the movie, you will have a psychological creepy feeling?" The middle-aged uncle proposed an idea, and Xiaolin and the girl nodded. They also had this feeling.

Xiaolin was convinced.

Director Teng Shu is really a villain. He has gone down the scary path and never looked back. The previous "The Grudge" caused the prices of many houses like that to plummet, and now that this movie is out, I'm afraid that many people won't dare to look into the eyes of their Pokémon for a while.

"Oh? Passed the review? Adults only?" Teng Shu looked at the form submitted by Zoroark and raised his eyebrows. It seems that the speed is quite fast.

"Yes, boss, but isn't your movie very good?" Zoroark hesitated.

As Teng Shu's secretary, Zoroark naturally went to see Teng Shu's movies. After all, understanding his boss's film style and then discovering problems based on the situation were also things Zoroark consciously needed to do.

After watching it, Zoroark felt that the last scene was too scary.

When the heroine looked at her cat boss, she was horrified to find that a black shadow began to vaguely emerge in the cat boss's eyes. The black shadow slowly stretched and widened, gradually forming an ancient well, and then a white-haired woman crawled out of the ancient well. Her hair was as thick as ink, covering her pale face. Her posture was very strange, like a devil.

Sadako began to slowly crawl out of the cat's eyes. Her slender fingers stretched out little by little at first, like sharp claws, leaving shallow marks on the windowsill. As her body pulled out, she left a string of sticky marks on the windowsill. Her movements were slow and strange, and every move seemed to be pulling the surrounding air.

When her upper body completely came out of the cat boss's eyes, Sadako's twisted neck supported her body at an angle that no ordinary person could bear.

This scene is scary enough just to imagine, not to mention watching it.

"What's wrong with that?" Teng Shu said calmly. This was just the beginning. He had put a lot of thought into making Sadako scary, and now he was just waiting for the release of Sadako to reap a wave of fear. However, Teng Shu had not yet decided on his next movie. He planned to finish filming Sherlock Holmes first, and then consider this issue.

However, thinking that most of the well-known horror movies in his previous life had been made almost completely, Teng Shu felt a bit of a headache. Although he still knew some good movies, the scariness of these movies was still a little less in Teng Shu's opinion.

For example, the horror movie "The Exorcist" is very famous in Europe and the United States. The horror of this movie is linked to religion. If you don’t know much about religion, then the horror level of this movie is actually not that scary.

After thinking about it, Teng Shu thought of another psychological horror classic "The Shining", and then there is another movie that is also somewhat famous, but more controversial, that is "The Phantasm 1408".

Among these movies, The Shining is the most well-known, while 1408 is relatively unique and has many controversial points. Of course, it is still a little inferior to The Grudge.

"If it doesn't work out, just shoot Ju-Ji 3, just in time to let Ju-Ji come to an end."
