Pokémon's Lord of Fear

In order not to let his father down and not let Dewen Company's public relations department handle it, Teng Shu could only force himself to stay awake. After listening to the principal's speech for the whole day, his mind was full of "four major points, each major point is divided into twelve small points, and each small point is divided into four parts". He felt dizzy.

"No wonder Dad didn't want to come to the meeting." Teng Shu sighed, and then he saw the car parked at the door. The old butler Shibata was already standing next to it. Teng Shu walked over tiredly and climbed into the car.

He was really tired, not physically tired, but mentally tired.

"Master Teng Shu, there are energy drinks in the back seat of the car." The old butler reminded softly. He knew that the Baogao meeting would be long and boring, and it would only be held for three days. Master Teng Shu would have to come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

In the past, it was Master Mu Jin who went there, but now Master Mu Jin has passed the burden to Teng Shu.

"Grandpa Shibata, thank you. I'll take a nap." Teng Shu took a sip tiredly. When he thought about having to attend this long and boring Baogao meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Teng Shu felt a little desperate.

"Master Teng Shu, generally speaking, the agenda of the second and third days of the Baogao meeting will be much shorter, and it will usually end at noon." The old butler comforted Teng Shu, and Teng Shu nodded. Although that was what he said, a morning was enough to torture him.

As we all know, the degree of fatigue in a meeting where you can slack off and a meeting where you cannot slack off and instead have to pay attention to your appearance all the time are two different things.

But Teng Shu also knew that the position where he was sitting was a position that many people dreamed of.

The car didn't start, Teng paused, and before he could ask what happened, there was a knock on the window next to him.

Teng Shu opened the car window and saw Shirona, a blonde girl, standing outside the window looking at him with a gentle smile on her face. Teng Shu understood. No wonder the old butler didn't drive. What did Shirona, the Sinnoh champion, want to see him about?

Chapter 125 Sakaki: I've been seen through?

"Director Teng Shu, I have a request." In the box, Teng Shu looked at A'du in front of him with a confused look in his eyes.

Just now, Shirona said she wanted to treat him to a drink, and Teng Shu naturally agreed. After all, this was Shirona, the Sinnoh champion. If they established a good relationship with her, they could ask her to deal with the Magma Team and the Aqua Team in the future. However, what Teng Shu did not expect was that Adu was also here.

"Champion Adu, what do you think?" Teng Shu said politely. Teng Shu still remembered that Adu was the first one to come out and support the release of the short film today.

"Oh, that's right. My...would you like to watch the video?" Adu Tianwang handed over the phone. Teng Shu took it puzzledly, and then saw a video on it. In the video, a Dragonite was chopping down big trees at high speed. After chopping down one, it immediately went on to chop another one, and it seemed to be enjoying itself very much.

Teng Shu looked at the familiar shape of the tree, then looked at the row of split trees behind it, and seemed to understand what A'du meant.

"Alas, my Dragonite can use the computer to watch videos, and I usually didn't pay much attention to it. Until a while ago, I accidentally discovered that my Dragonite started to chop trees with its crotch. At first, it was chopping trees all the time, but after I told it about it, it now maintains the speed of chopping one tree a day." A'du covered his face, feeling a little desperate.

Shirona looked at Adu with sympathy. She had a good relationship with Adu and often exchanged ideas on how to breed dragon-type Pokémon, so this time she helped Adu make an appointment with Teng Shu.

Teng Shu understood what Adu meant. Did Adu want him to persuade him? But Adu, the champion trainer, had no solution for this kind of thing, so how could he have any other solution?

After thinking it over, Teng Shu decided to add some personal ideas in the next video. When Tom goes to heaven, the cat in front of him has to go down and plant trees to atone for his sins because he split a tree with his crotch. This should be useful.

After all, these Pokémon learned how to chop trees with their crotches from Tom and Jerry, so the new Tom and Jerry shorts should be able to help them correct this.

"Champion Adu, it's like this." Teng Shu briefly stated his thoughts, and Adu immediately agreed. The solution he thought of was also the same. What he learned from Boss Cat, he needed to change back from Boss Cat.

After resolving this matter, Teng Shu, Adu and Shirona chatted with each other and laughed. They were quite harmonious. During the chat, Teng Shu also learned that Shirona was his fan, which made him feel flattered.

After all, compared to actors, it is not easy for directors to become famous. Unless they have produced many classic works, they will be known to the public. There are only a few internationally renowned directors. Teng Shu did not expect that he would successfully gain fans with just two movies.

When they had almost finished drinking, Teng Shu left. After returning home, he washed up and couldn't wait to lie down on the bed.

The next day, Teng Shu continued to attend the Baogao meeting, and did the same on the third day.

"I've really had enough." After the third day of meetings ended and the entire Baogao meeting was declared over, Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He lay down on the chair tiredly and rubbed his temples. After three days of meetings, Teng Shu felt that every time he opened his mouth, he could only speak in official rhetoric.

When speaking, he speaks in a nonsensical way, and when speaking, he puts the interests of Pokémon first.

I wonder if it’s too late to run for the position of president of the Pokémon League overnight?

"Teng Shu, how do you feel about attending this meeting for the first time?" Boss Sakaki walked beside Teng Shu with a smile on his face.

"Oh, stop talking. I feel like I might as well just sleep at home for three days and three nights." Teng Shu shook his head. He and Sakaki have been getting along well these past few days, and now he and Sakaki have become friends with whom they can chat.

However, as Teng Shu and Sakaki came into contact more and more, Teng Shu felt more and more that Sakaki was really suitable to be Professor Moriarty. Just as Holmes had a Pikachu Watson, so it seemed possible for Professor Moriarty to have a Pokémon as an assistant. When the time came, the two heroes would duel, and the two Pokémon could also duel.

"You'll get used to it. Every time the Alliance holds a Baogao meeting, there are actually quite a few things to deal with." Sakaki spoke modestly and politely, with a hint of lowness in his voice. He didn't look like the ultimate villain at all.

"Mr. Sakaki, actually I've been thinking about shooting a suspense detective TV series recently, and I think one of the roles seems to be more suitable for you. Are you interested in learning more about it?" Teng Shu looked at Sakaki and asked. He wanted to see if Sakaki wanted to shoot. If Sakaki didn't want to shoot, then he would reconsider it.

Sakaki was indeed interested. He had always wanted to participate in the filming of Teng Shu's movie. Although it was a TV series, and a suspense detective type that Director Teng Shu had never participated in before, Sakaki still had some interest in Teng Shu's script.

Teng Shu simply wrote about the character setting. After all, it is not easy to explain the character of Moriarty clearly in just a few words. Teng Shu just wrote about the character setting and the general role and position.

Sakaki took a look.

[Professor Moriarty is usually a university professor, a wealthy businessman and a philosopher. He has published some professional academic works and has a very good reputation in the eyes of the public. However, he is the head of the largest dark organization in the entire region. He has no morals and conscience. He is a very smart and intelligent criminal. He is also the protagonist's mortal enemy.]

Sakaki's hands subconsciously clenched.

Isn't this talking about me?

His character is a gym leader, and he is usually keen on charity. He also has a small fortune. He has a good reputation in the Kanto and Johto regions, but secretly he is the boss of Team Rocket, the largest dark organization in the entire region.

Sakaki subconsciously glanced at Teng Shu, then shook his head. That shouldn't be the case. Teng Shu was just a director, and a Hoenn native at that. He had never been to Johto or Kanto, so it was impossible for him to know that he was the boss of Team Rocket. Not to mention Teng Shu, even Adu didn't know his identity.

"This character is quite challenging." Sakaki pursed his lips. His mind told him that he should not play the role, but this character really made him feel very relevant, and made Sakaki feel itchy all over if he didn't play the role.

"But why did you choose me?" Sakaki couldn't help but ask.

"Because the aura that Mr. Sakaki gives off is very suitable for this role." Teng Shu smiled, and I started talking about metaphysics. Aura, aura, you know?

Of course, Teng Shu couldn't say that I thought of you because I knew your real identity was the boss of Team Rocket.

Chapter 126 The Three Gods Problem

"Should I have an audition first?" Sakaki hesitated for a long time, but finally made a decision. He planned to wait until the audition and then deliberately fail the test so that he would be eliminated, and then he wouldn't have to shoot.

"Okay, then you can take a look at this first." Teng Shu took out another script, which was the script he was still working on.

There is only a small plot in it that he created by himself.

There is actually not much description of the confrontation between Moriarty and Holmes. Most of the time, Holmes solved the crimes of Moriarty's men, thereby indirectly destroying Moriarty's organization. Moriarty played games with Holmes more through behind-the-scenes means.

But this would not reflect how difficult Moriarty is, so Teng Shu planned to adapt the plot by adding a small plot where Moriarty and Holmes meet by chance on the street, and then play a random reasoning game while waiting for the bus. Holmes was thinking about the current puzzle at the time, so he didn't think too much about it and suffered a loss.

This also shows the intelligence and logical reasoning ability of Moriarty and Holmes, but it is well known that a battle of wits such as logical reasoning has always been a big problem.

If it's not written well enough, then it's not a battle of logic and wits, but just two fools talking nonsense.

I don’t know how many movies have failed in portraying the IQ of the protagonists and villains, especially detective dramas and suspense dramas, which are the main types of failures.

Teng Shu didn't want to fail, but he really didn't know how to write so that Moriarty and Holmes could show their strong IQ and reasoning ability in just a few dialogues.

So Teng Shu used a classic logic puzzle that he had seen in his previous life.

The Three Gods Problem.

The Three Gods Problem is a famous logical reasoning puzzle raised in the previous life. Because it is too difficult, many people felt that it could not be solved at first. It was not until later that some theoretical solutions appeared.

This three-god problem also leads to the two-god problem.

That is, there are two gods, one god can only tell the truth, and the other god can only tell lies. Then the answerer can only ask one question, and it must be a yes or no question, that is, a question that can only be answered with "yes" or "no". The god being asked can only answer yes or no.

A question, to distinguish who is the true God and who is the false God, is a very common puzzle routine in logical reasoning problems in the previous life.

The difficulty of the Three Gods Problem is higher, or much higher.

"This is a question." Sakaki was a little confused. The script clearly stated what the small problem was, but Sakaki had no idea how to explain it.

【Moriarty: Sir, while we wait for the bus, how about we play a simple game? 】

[(Turning over the newspaper in his hand) Holmes turned his head to look at Moriarty and took a look at the man in front of him]

[He is wearing simple but elegant clothes. The calluses on his wrists prove that he is engaged in writing. The marks on his fingers show that he may be teaching at a university.]

[Holmes: Of course no problem]

[Moriarty chuckles]

[Moriarty: Human history is always full of fun, and one day, we stood in front of three gods. These three gods were the true god who only told the truth, the lying god who only told lies, and a capricious god who answered the truth or lies according to his mood.]

[Moriarty: As ignorant and weak humans, we can ask these gods a total of three yes and no questions. These gods will only answer yes or no. After three questions, we need to judge who is the true God, the lying God, and the willful God]

[Holmes stopped flipping through the newspaper, with a thoughtful look in his eyes]

[Moriarty: But how can humans understand the words of God? God only answers with two syllables: Da and Ya.]

[Holmes: In other words, we not only need to judge their identities in the three questions, but also need to judge whether the answer corresponds to yes or no? ]

[Moriarty is surprised, applauds, and is delighted]

【Moriarty: Smart, that's it】

Because it is the most basic script, many parts are relatively brief, but Sakaki can understand it. This made Sakaki fall into deep thought. Is it really possible to answer this question?

Sakaki is also a smart man. Being able to control such a huge organization as Team Rocket, he is naturally not too stupid. If he is too stupid, he will not be able to lurk for so long.

But this three-god problem made him feel conflicted.

There are three yes-no questions, including one by a capricious god who answers according to his mood. The difficulty is already very high. As a result, humans are unable to understand the words of gods and need to judge whether what gods said is yes or no. This instantly raises the difficulty to an unimaginable level.

This made Sakaki very curious about how Holmes and Moriarty would answer this question.

"Mr. Sakaki, what do you think?" Teng Shu looked at Sakaki and asked. The Three Gods Problem did not exist in this world, so it was a brand new logical problem, and it was also a plot that Teng Shu intended to bring out to make the audience exclaim in amazement.

This plot will be in the first episode. When Holmes was investigating the Study in Scarlet, he fell into deep thought. While thinking, he planned to take the bus back and think about how to solve the problem. As a result, he unexpectedly met Professor Moriarty.

The bus was delayed for a long time due to traffic jam, so Professor Moriarty decided to play a small game with the stranger Sherlock Holmes to kill time.

On the one hand, this arrangement can plant an impression in the audience's mind that Holmes and Moriarty are very powerful. On the other hand, it can also make the audience curious about what kind of person can compete with such a powerful detective like Sherlock Holmes, and even be slightly better than him?

At the same time, it sets the stage for Moriarty's future appearance.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"It's very exciting, but I'm curious, how will this question be answered in the plot?" Sakaki was a little anxious. The script written by Teng Shu seemed to have magic, making Sakaki's heart itchy. Judging from this clip alone, this detective drama would not be too bad.

"This is a secret." Teng Shu said with a smile. Actors will not be given too many scripts for audition, so confidentiality is very important. Some actors are big mouths and may accidentally let something slip during the interview, which will be very troublesome.

Although some crews also use this for marketing.

But for Teng Shu, confidentiality is very important, because this is a detective suspense drama, if the plot is spoiled, the excitement will be greatly reduced.

The Three Gods Puzzle is a logic puzzle from 1996. Those who are interested can search it themselves.

I have to take my mother to the hospital for a follow-up checkup for chronic pharyngitis today, so the update will be a little later.

Sorry sorry.

Chapter 127 Master Ball?

For example, the famous suspense masterpiece "Identity" in the previous life. If people who have not seen it go to see it, they will naturally exclaim that it is awesome and incredible, and the imagination of the script is really strong. However, if you know the ending of Identity, then there will be no such surprise when you watch it again.
