I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"I'm here, my wife. Thank you for waiting for me. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?" Grandpa Xingzhen smiled at his wife. He looked at her and stroked her no-longer-young hand, but deep down he felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Grandpa Xingzhen turned around and looked back. Dean Teng Shu was still flying away, his body rapidly disappearing into the distance. Grandpa Xingzhen bowed deeply, and his wife followed suit. She knew that it was this young man who had helped them, who had taken care of the old man, and who had given him a job.

However, the old man has now caused trouble for this young man again.

Soon after, Tengshu arrived at the Pokémon Center, where he quickly took Grandpa Yukima to the emergency room.

The familiar scene repeated itself: a group of medical staff rushed out, and Teng Shu watched, panting heavily. However, after the doctor examined him, the doctor dejectedly took off the equipment in his hand and shook his head.

Teng Shu's pupils shrank instantly. He looked at Grandpa Xingzhen in front of him, who was lying there. Teng Shu could still feel Grandpa Xingzhen's trembling hands and his old but still strong heartbeat. But now, Grandpa Xingzhen was lying there so quietly.

Without a final burst of energy or any last words, Mr. Xingzhen passed away.

"Are you his family member?" Miss Joey walked over and asked gently, but when she saw Teng Shu, she knew she was mistaken, because Teng Shu had no family member.

"No, Grandpa Xingzhen is one of my employees." Teng Shu sat down in the chair, looking a little tired, and then pinched his brow.

"Dean Teng Shu, no one wants this to happen." Miss Joey recognized Teng Shu and tried to comfort him, but Teng Shu looked at her without knowing what to say. He suddenly felt tired, or rather, very confused.

After all, Teng Shu was just making braised beef under the guidance of Grandpa Xingzhen, and in the blink of an eye, Grandpa Xingzhen was gone.

Medical staff went to perform some basic tests on Grandpa Xingzhen to determine the cause of death, while Teng Shu sat alone outside. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up his phone and sent a text message to Akai, asking him to order takeout, as he didn't have time to go back and cook today.

Putting down his phone, Teng Shu's eyes held a hint of confusion. He was bewildered, unable to understand why this had happened.

Everything happened so fast, in just over ten minutes, Grandpa Xingzhen passed away without even a chance to say goodbye.

You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.

A thought suddenly flashed through Teng Shu's mind, and he felt that it made a lot of sense. After all, these days, many people are caught off guard and suddenly receive news of the death of their loved ones, which makes them feel grief and pain.

"But now, it seems that Grandpa Xingzhen is all alone, right? His wife and son are both dead." Teng Shu thought of some other issues. Normally, if an employee suddenly dies, their family members should be notified so that they can come and claim the body. But the problem is, Grandpa Xingzhen doesn't seem to have any family members.

That's not quite right. After all, Grandpa Yukima had mentioned before that he still had some relatives, but those relatives who used to visit and say nice things during holidays had stopped contacting him after his family squandered their fortune through gambling. Thinking of this, Tengshu's expression became somewhat subtle. Although this world is the world of Pokémon, the people here are still so...

reality.

However, this is quite normal. After all, Teng Shu had seen many relatives like this in his previous life. However, Teng Shu didn't have any particular thoughts about it. It's just that he now needs to deal with Grandpa Xingzhen's problem himself. Thinking about this, Teng Shu also had a bit of a headache.

“Dealing with this matter… but it doesn’t seem too troublesome. After all, if it’s Grandpa Xingzhen, the other party probably wants…” Tengshu looked at the wall in front of him, a thought flashing through his mind. Tengshu naturally had his own ideas about this issue. In Tengshu’s opinion, although Grandpa Xingzhen had said that it would be nice to be buried in the orphanage, Tengshu knew very well that what Grandpa Xingzhen wanted most was to be buried with his wife.

A short while later, Miss Joey came out. She looked at Teng Shu and briefly explained the situation of the deceased. Grandpa Xingzhen passed away due to a heart attack and cerebral hemorrhage, so he passed away very quickly with almost no chance of rescue. Most importantly, the patient's will to live was very weak.

"I understand. Then please issue a death certificate." Teng Shu took a deep breath, rubbed his face, and looked at Miss Joey as he spoke. After hearing this, Miss Joey immediately issued the death notice, and then it was Teng Shu's turn to handle the rest.

Thinking of Grandpa Xingzhen, Tengshu hesitated for a moment. Grandpa Xingzhen didn't have many relatives or friends in this world. At least, Tengshu had never met Grandpa Xingzhen, who had been working at the orphanage for so long. So Tengshu thought that he probably really didn't have any.

However, there's one little guy I need to notify.

So, when they arrived at the funeral home, the Dark Raven stood quietly on Tengshu's shoulder, watching the old man, Xingzhen, lying in front of it.

Yes, Tengshu called Dark Raven, after all, Tengshu knew about the relationship between Dark Raven and Grandpa Xingzhen. You could say that Grandpa Xingzhen was Dark Raven's mentor, a mentor in fruit tree cultivation.

But apart from that, there was no one else. Teng Shu didn't say anything about it. After all, Teng Shu didn't know who else he could call. In Teng Shu's opinion, he had almost no one else to call. You know, Grandpa Xingzhen had almost no relatives or friends to contact.

So, apart from the vines and the dark raven, there was no one else in this funeral home.

With everything kept simple, Grandpa Xingzhen quickly completed the cremation process. However, perhaps because Tengshu was generous when paying for the urn, the funeral home staff's expressions became even more gentle. But Tengshu really didn't care about these small things; he just looked at Grandpa Xingzhen's urn.

"Sigh." Teng Shu sighed, then led Dark Raven to the cemetery, where Grandpa Xingzhen's wife was buried. The money was given to Grandpa Xingzhen by Teng Shu. Although he didn't say that Grandpa Xingzhen would pay it back, he had seriously said that he intended to pay it back. He just didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly.

Teng Shu didn't have much to say about this, since he himself never intended for Grandpa Xingzhen to repay it.

The grave of Mr. Xingzhen's wife is quite large, large enough to hold two urns. Tengshu thinks this might be because Mr. Xingzhen had planned to do this in advance.

So they prepared a place to hold his ashes well in advance. After Tengshu paid, the cemetery staff helped put Mr. Xingzhen's ashes inside. Tengshu watched quietly the whole time. Even Dark Raven, who could never stay still, watched Mr. Xingzhen's ashes being buried in silence.

Once the tombstone was placed on the tomb, the boundary between life and death became exceptionally clear at that moment.

"Let's go, Blackie." Tengshu patted Blackie's head. Blackie cried out reluctantly twice, but still followed Tengshu away. However, as it left, it kept looking in the direction of the tombstone.

There, its teacher is.

An ordinary person named Xingzhen.

Chapter 618 New Cleaning Jobs and Special Difficulties

Grandpa Xingzhen's funeral was very simple and unpretentious. After that, Tengshu's orphanage was one person short. Tengshu felt helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he did not expect that Grandpa Xingzhen would die at this time and complete the last part of his life. However, thinking of Grandpa Xingzhen's smiling expression before he died, Tengshu felt that he must have seen the person he wanted to see.

"Caw..." The Dark Raven seemed listless, no longer paying much attention to its fruit trees. It seemed that the sudden passing of Grandpa Xingzhen was a huge blow to the Dark Raven. Tengshu was also saddened by the Dark Raven's state, but there was nothing he could do. He could only try his best to help the Dark Raven through this, but even Locke couldn't do much about it.

“Little Black, I once heard a story.” Tengshu said to Murkrow, and Murkrow also looked up at Tengshu with a hint of longing in its eyes. For Murkrow now, it no longer had its teacher and could not be without its trainer, so Murkrow seemed more affectionate. However, Tengshu himself did not notice this.

“Some people say that when people die, they can see their family members coming to greet them. So, when Grandpa Yukima passed away, he must have seen his wife, right?” Tengshu smiled and said to Murkrow. Murkrow tilted its head when it heard this. Although it could understand some of it, there were still some things it couldn’t understand. Tengshu wasn’t too surprised by this. Although Murkrow is a smart Pokémon, it still couldn’t grasp this meaning.

However, after Tengshu's explanation, Dark Raven roughly understood that Grandpa Yukima had passed away happily. Although Dark Raven found this statement somewhat strange, its mood improved slightly. However, it still quietly looked at the thing in front of it, and Tengshu also glanced at it.

That's Grandpa Yuki's grave number. It needs to be kept safe because gravesites in the Pokémon world also require a storage fee, which is paid every twenty years. It's not very expensive, but it's still a bit cruel.

The cruelty lies in the way the grave is stored. Some families pay for the grave, but then encounter various events and pass away within twenty years. In such cases, if no one takes care of the grave, these people will take the ashes out and throw them away, then empty the grave and wait for the next deceased to be placed there.

When Teng Shu went to the funeral home, he heard people cursing the cemetery managers, saying that these people would do anything to make money off the dead. Teng Shu didn't know what to say about it, since it was indeed a cruel situation, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was difficult to change such things, as the Alliance currently prohibited burials, so this was the only way to deal with it, which was also very troublesome.

“But I paid for a hundred years at once, so…” Teng Shu scratched his head. A hundred years? He could only say that he had done his best. After that, there was nothing he could do. After all, whether he would still be in this world by then was still a question. Teng Shu was very open-minded. He understood that everyone has to die eventually.

Murkrow carried the number away, and Tengshu didn't stop it. Murkrow is a very sensible Pokémon, so Tengshu naturally wouldn't interfere in this situation. However, thinking that the orphanage was still short of a cleaner, Tengshu hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should hire someone.

After all, the welfare home is quite large. Although other natural areas don't need cleaning, some buildings inside the welfare home do need cleaning. Thinking about this, Teng Shu felt it would be more convenient to hire a cleaner. Speaking of this, Teng Shu thought of a document issued by the alliance before, which stated that if government agencies and some enterprises hire employees with difficult conditions, they can enjoy certain tax deductions. If they don't need to pay taxes, they can also enjoy some other benefits.

"I can ask about that, but as for cleaning..." Teng Shu hesitated for a moment, but decided to hire two people as cleaners. After all, two people would be enough. With that in mind, Teng Shu opened the job posting website.

Unlike Pokémon employees, if it's just recruiting ordinary human employees, this kind of recruitment software will suffice. The information on it has been reviewed by the League's Porygon, and there's even a special section for those facing employment difficulties. Teng Shu looked at this section and remained silent for a moment. Actually, he didn't really want to click on it. After all, if he did, it would make him feel very uncomfortable, since he's a soft-hearted person.

"Alright, let's find four people who meet the criteria. Two will clean the nursing home, and the other two will clean the welfare home." Teng Shu made up his mind. He planned to do it this way so that the four people could have an easier time. Moreover, the welfare home would need to be expanded in the future, and the number of cleaners might need to be increased. It would also be a contribution to the alliance.

Teng Shu clicked on the difficult job posting in front of him and then filtered it by Changqing City, but even so, there were still nearly seven thousand job seekers.

"So many?" Teng Shu looked at this and couldn't help but gasp. Wasn't this a bit too outrageous? You know, job seekers who meet the Alliance's standards are usually the kind who live in extreme poverty. To meet the Alliance's standards, being destitute is a basic requirement.

Teng Shu scratched his head, then slowly looked at the things in front of him. He then clicked on one of them. This one was about a woman named Erda, a middle-aged woman. There was a photo of her. She looked very thin, and there was a hint of fear and unease in her eyes. Then there was her age, gender, some skills she possessed, and the salary she expected.

One thousand eight hundred yuan.

Teng Shu paused for a moment when he saw the salary. 1,800? This seemed to be the minimum wage in the league. Was this the kind of job they wanted?

After that, Teng Shu saw a video. He was silent for a moment, then hesitated for a while before clicking on it. He also wanted to see what the video was about.

As the video was played, Teng Shu saw an uneasy middle-aged woman named Erda. She was nervously rubbing her rough hands before looking at the camera and introducing herself.

【Hello boss... My name is Erda, I'm 45 years old. I was introduced by Director Shui from the office. My family lives in that tenement building on the back street of Changqing City. Don't laugh at me, but I'm willing to do any job, I'm not picky. My husband died in a work accident two years ago, leaving me and my elderly mother who is paralyzed in bed. My mother's illness requires medication, and the monthly cost of her medicine is like a mountain weighing on my body. I've done many jobs before, waitress, dishwasher, cleaner, anything, but now that I'm older, no one wants to hire me anymore, and I can't find long-term work. My family relies on welfare and odd jobs. Please give me a chance, I'm quick and efficient, and my home is in Changqing City, I'm available anytime.】

Looking at the woman in the video, Teng Shu took a deep breath, which is why he said he really, really didn't want to look at this job posting. After seeing it, Teng Shu felt that if he didn't provide more job opportunities, he would feel guilty.

However, the welfare home does not need too many staff members right now, so Teng Shu is also having a headache about this issue. He took a deep breath and decided to find four people who meet the requirements and are in relatively difficult circumstances to work as cleaners. As for the salary, it will naturally be the same as that of Grandpa Xingzhen, 3,500 yuan, including room and board.

After watching for a while, Teng Shu felt a little heavy-hearted. He said he couldn't bear to watch anymore. Among them were single mothers raising children alone, and people burdened with debt who had to find work at nearly sixty years old. These people all had one thing in common: the wages they asked for were extremely low, even ridiculously low.

There are also those with slight limps, and all sorts of misfortunes have befallen them. These people are asking for the minimum wage, and some even say they would rather have room and board provided than be paid. However, the league staff naively tell them that this is not acceptable as it does not meet the league's employment standards, so the minimum wage is 1,800.

[You've been browsing this for too long, are you looking to recruit employees?]

Just as Teng Shu was having a headache, an interface popped up. Teng Shu paused for a moment, then recognized it as an agent from the alliance, probably in charge of this area. He briefly explained his request. He really couldn't stand it anymore; it made him feel suffocated. So Teng Shu chose not to look, as not looking would make him feel a little better.

[There are certainly candidates who meet your employment requirements. Here are four files I recommend.] After looking at the reply, Teng Shu simply clicked on them and glanced at them. He then agreed to have these four people come for interviews. The alliance personnel would handle the job notifications, and all Teng Shu had to do was wait. In fact, Teng Shu didn't have to wait long. These people seemed to be in a great hurry. Although Teng Shu's orphanage was some distance from Changqing City, these people still arrived at Teng Shu's orphanage very quickly.

Looking at the two men and two women in front of him, and their fawning calls of him "boss," Teng Shu felt a bit conflicted. However, he still did a quick assessment. Once he was sure that the basic cleaning work was no problem, he explained the current conditions and salary to them. When they heard that Teng Shu's job included room and board and offered 3,500 yuan, they were all surprised and their expressions became even more sincere.

Teng Shu didn't say anything, just asked a few questions. None of the four people chose to stay in the dormitory. They had homes in Changqing City and families to take care of. Some of their spouses were paralyzed and needed care. Teng Shu didn't say anything when he heard this, just told them to start work tomorrow. Teng Shu received a lot of thanks.

Looking at the figures of these four people, Teng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Another month is about to pass, and the end-of-month summary is also approaching." Teng Shu glanced at his phone. A lot had happened during this period, and Teng Shu needed to start making an end-of-month summary. However, thinking of Grandpa Xingzhen who got up early every morning to clean the house, Teng Shu took a deep breath, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

Although Fujiki knew that separation by death was a very normal thing and often happened in the Pokémon League, he still found it hard to accept.

"When Locke comes out, he'll probably be surprised by this news, right? After all, the old man was having dinner and chatting with him just now." Teng Shu shook his head, feeling a little heavy-hearted. He was quite concerned about this issue, but there was nothing he could do, as the medical pod couldn't be used by humans.

Tengshu felt that this was a limitation, but also a protection. After all, if Tengshu could use the medical pod, some very troublesome things would inevitably happen. For example, it might attract the attention of some people, since there are quite a few diseases in the entire Pokémon League that humans cannot cure.

When evening came, Tengshu went out to patrol as usual. When he let Pipi leave earlier, Tengshu also got some happiness points, but he was in no hurry to use them. After all, if he used them too early, some trouble might happen, such as not being able to take them out when he needed them urgently.

So Teng Shu focused on his own business, planning to use it when it was almost ready, and also to see how many happiness points he would get from the end-of-month summary.

The orphanage was a bit noisy at night. There were more and more Pokémon here. After all, the orphanage was a very safe place, and the environment was designed to be very comfortable for these Pokémon. So, there were many Pokémon living here. When Tengshu went outside, the first thing he felt was the gentle caress of the wind.

“Evergreen…” Teng Shu smiled. He knew what this feeling was. It was the Heart of Evergreen. He could feel the will of Evergreen Forest in Evergreen Forest. It wasn’t impossible to feel it in other places, but it wouldn’t be as clear. Teng Shu thought this kind of life was pretty good.

Humming a little tune, Teng Shu felt a bit more cheerful. As he walked, he looked around, trying to see if there were any control panels...

"Could you help me keep an eye on those abandoned Pokémon?" Tengshu suddenly thought of something and said excitedly. If he could, that would be so convenient.

Chapter 619 The world after death

Viridian Forest responded to Tengshu's idea. Although Viridian Forest couldn't speak and Tengshu couldn't quite understand it, from these vague points, Tengshu still roughly understood what Viridian Forest meant. It would help Tengshu keep an eye on things and would try to notify Tengshu if there was any situation. This made Tengshu very happy, after all, Viridian Forest was very, very large.

The entire Viridian Forest is not the small area depicted in the game; it is a vast forest. In fact, Viridian City is almost entirely enclosed within it, which gives you an idea of ​​just how large the Viridian Forest is. This also means that many Pokémon are likely to be abandoned in the Viridian Forest each year. However, Tengshu quickly informed the Viridian Forest that only those abandoned due to illness or disability need to be notified.

After all, sometimes Pokémon are abandoned in the forest, which can be considered as releasing them into the wild. However, the standard of whether it is release or abandonment is really hard to define. So far, there is not much definition on this point, since it is difficult to judge. Moreover, if every abandoned Pokémon were sent here, Tengshu felt that his orphanage would be full at a very fast pace.

"Isn't this request a bit excessive?" Tengshu was a little embarrassed, after all, his request was really too much. Tengshu felt that if Viridian Forest were a person, she might be impatient, but Viridian Forest only responded to Tengshu with a gentle breeze. Tengshu felt the gentle breeze and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he wouldn't be disliked. Viridian Forest didn't mind these things at all.

Fujiki felt that the Evergreen Forest was like a gentle mother who would tolerate her child's willful little demands. No wonder the ability of Evergreen Heart was once hailed as the ability of the child of nature. Fujiki looked at it and it seemed that it really was.

Tengshu couldn't just stand by and watch without going through his own business. He planned to do some more of his own things and think of a way to help Changpan Forest and give the forest something in return. With that in mind, Tengshu decided to go and check on the forest rangers. After all, when it came to familiarity with the forest, only the forest rangers knew it best.

However, it was already quite late, so Teng Shu decided to deal with the matter tomorrow. He also needed to figure out a way to resolve the issue with that Gara Gara. Teng Shu had agreed to help with that, so he definitely needed to handle it. But for now, Teng Shu planned to go back and get some rest before dealing with anything else.

When they returned to the orphanage, Teng Shu subconsciously glanced in the direction of the dormitory. There was usually a light on there, which was where Grandpa Xingzhen lived, but now there was no light at all. When Teng Shu saw this, he suddenly realized something.

The disappearance of a person leaves a mark on the hearts of others. However, thinking about this, Tengshu also felt a little curious. He was curious about what death was like in the world of Pokémon. Thinking about this, Tengshu felt a little restless, but he also knew that humans and ghosts were different, so he probably couldn't go.

Back in his office, Teng Shu skillfully turned on the magic video for Tire Meow. He glanced at Diancie, who was still busy reading. Diancie greeted him with a smile, and Teng Shu nodded in return. Then he went back to his room, lay down on his bed, and decided to wait for the settlement. However, he was too tired, and soon he drifted off to sleep.

After falling asleep, Tengshu felt somewhat disoriented, which left him a little confused. He had woken up like this before, but when he did, he found himself in some strange places, like the strange place he had seen before, the place where Flower Leaf lived. However, it was a dream, and also a very magical place, where Tengshu encountered some interesting Pokémon.

"Another lucid dream?" Teng Shu scratched his head. He was having a bit of a headache about this. To be honest, he didn't really like having these kinds of dreams. Although you could do whatever you wanted in them, doing whatever you wanted also meant some troublesome things. So, thinking about this, Teng Shu had a headache. But since he was already here, he could only find a way to escape and find another world.

Teng Shu was quite experienced in this matter. He knew that once he woke up, he would probably be able to leave this world. This had been confirmed before. Under these circumstances, Teng Shu became a little interested. He started to conceive some strange and wonderful things in his mind and wondered if he could make them a reality. However, before Teng Shu could even begin to conceive, he discovered that everything around him had changed.

“This place is…” Teng Shu’s eyes showed some surprise. He looked at the city in front of him, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes. Teng Shu found that he was now living in a city similar to Evergreen City, except that everything around him was in a strange color tone, looking somewhat dark. Moreover, there was no moon, but the sky was very bright. There were some people chatting on the streets, and occasionally he could see some Pokémon.

Teng Shu was caught off guard by this scene. He really didn't expect to have come to an unusual Evergreen City. His eyes were filled with a sense of bewilderment. At this moment, a Miss Officer Jenny walked over. She glanced at Teng Shu and then walked over with a smile. Teng Shu looked at her. Miss Officer Jenny's face was a little pale and her skin tone was a little dark. But it seemed that everyone in this world had this kind of appearance, which was very strange.

"Hello, did you just arrive?" Officer Jenny said gently. Teng Shu was a little confused, but he nodded nonetheless. He had indeed just arrived, having just dreamt of it. He didn't know why he had been having such dreams lately, and Teng Shu was somewhat bewildered.

"So you just died. It seems you're not very familiar with this place," Officer Jenny said with a smile. Teng Shu blinked. What? What are you saying? Are you speaking human language?

Teng Shu suddenly realized that he could no longer understand what the other person was saying, which left him somewhat bewildered.

"Take a look at this first. Come with me to this side. After reading this, you'll have a new understanding of your current situation," Miss Officer Jenny said gently. However, Teng Shu was still a little confused. Then, a book was shoved into his hand. Teng Shu picked it up and glanced at it. The book was titled "Preliminary Guide to Life After Death: A Must-Read Handbook for Residents of Evergreen City," a rather strange title.

The text on the document read: "Department of Spirit Guidance." Teng Shu blinked. So, he had arrived in the afterlife? That was quite interesting.

Welcome, new friend to Changqing City!

If you are holding this guide right now and feel lost in the unfamiliar yet peaceful environment around you, congratulations—you have successfully arrived at the next stop in your life, Evergreen City!

However, please be aware that although this is Changqing City, it is not Changqing City. You are already dead. This is the afterlife, a city built by countless deceased predecessors, and the place where we live.

Please don't panic. The "journey" you just experienced is perfectly normal. Take a deep breath—it still makes sense here—and follow these initial guidelines:

1. Recognize your current state

You have died, yes, which means your life in the material world has ended, but this is by no means the end. Evergreen City before you is an important stop in the cycle of life energy, filled with tranquility, memories and final rest.

In the new Changqing City, there's no pressure to survive. However, there are some unique circumstances here: we will begin our second life here, and ultimately reach our final destination. I hope you can find your own joy in this process...

Looking at this thing, Teng Shu remained expressionless. He had guessed his current situation. After all, this kind of thing was not too difficult for Teng Shu. He was not a dead person at all, but an intruder from the real world. However, these people obviously could not distinguish this point. But this also made Teng Shu a little curious. He had wanted to come to this place to explore before, but he did not expect that he would actually have this opportunity now. This was quite good.

Looking at the manual in his hand, Teng Shu learned about some special places in this new Evergreen City. For example, he was currently in a place called Tranquil Harbor, which was where all the newly arrived souls lived. There would be old souls or Officer Jenny to help guide them and tell them about the process of death. After that, there were some living areas and a wild area specifically for Pokémon to live in. However, souls do not need to eat, so the Pokémon here just sleep, wake up, and play around every day, and are very happy.

"So... in this world, if we don't live forever, how do we live?" Teng Shu was curious about this question, and Officer Jenny answered quickly. Many people would ask this question, since in their view, does death mean that they don't have to die again?

"Actually, in the afterlife, it's like this: we start from the state of death and begin living again. For example, you will slowly live to be twenty-four, eighteen, and then one year old, and finally become a baby, thus re-entering the cycle of reincarnation." Officer Jenny said gently, and Tengshu paused for a moment when he heard this. He hadn't expected that death would be like this in the Pokémon world, which surprised him somewhat.

So it seems that those elderly people could be given a second chance at life, and then when they reach infancy, they would gradually lose all their memories and be sent away, right? Thinking of this, Teng Shu's feelings were somewhat complicated.

However, Teng Shu immediately thought of a problem: was Grandpa Xingzhen here? After all, the other party was already dead, and Teng Shu had helped bury his ashes, so theoretically he should be here. However, it was hard to say for sure, so Teng Shu decided to ask first.

"You mean you want to find someone?" Officer Jenny asked Teng Shu. Teng Shu nodded; that was exactly what he meant. Seeing Teng Shu's expression, Officer Jenny took out a device and asked him for the name of the person he was looking for, as well as the time of death. However, upon hearing that the person had died just today, she shook her head, indicating that the system data update would take some time.

Teng Shu wasn't surprised by this. Since that was the case, he figured he wouldn't be able to chat with the old man today. But knowing about this place helped ease his anxiety. Although these people were dead, they had started their own new lives here. Miss Officer Jenny warmly helped Teng Shu with all the formalities before finding him, giving him a brief introduction, and then leaving.

Looking at the city before him, Teng Shu had received his own house. According to the local rules, everyone here could get their own house. If they wanted a bigger one, they had to find someone to help build it. However, since there was no need to eat or use the toilet, people in this world often went to work to earn work points in exchange for things like new houses or train tickets to other places.
