Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Teng Shu decided to combine the plots of Ghost 3.1 and 3.2. After all, it wouldn't be good to film them separately, since the entire plot is actually continuous and hasn't been delayed for a single day. In this case, separating them would seem a bit strange. So Teng Shu decided to film them as they are, and then make some improvements to give the whole plot some unique changes. After thinking about this, Teng Shu sat down and began to write the script. As for how the script should be filmed, that was the director's job. Teng Shu was only providing the script this time, and he didn't want to care about anything else. Moreover, Teng Shu planned to film his own movie first, and he was too lazy to care about other things at the moment.

Bupa was a thin, small girl with always messy hair and deep fear in her eyes. Her mother left her when she was five and never came back. Her stepfather was an alcoholic who would come home drunk and beat her. The neighbors all knew about Bupa's plight, but they just watched coldly and no one was willing to lend a helping hand. "Your mother doesn't want you anymore, you deserve it!" The neighbor's boy often mocked her like this, and sometimes he would even push her and knock her to the ground. Bupa didn't dare to fight back. She could only silently get up, wipe the dirt and tears from her face, and continue walking home.

The harsh treatment from her stepfather and the bullying from the neighbors turned Bupa's world into a dark place. She often hid in a corner, fantasizing that she could escape it all. She would even cry secretly at night, hoping that her mother would suddenly appear and take her away. But her mother never came back. Finally, one day, Bupa could no longer bear it. That day, her stepfather was drunk again. He grabbed Bupa's hair, dragged her to the ground, and punched and kicked her. Bupa did not cry. She just stared at her stepfather quietly. Her eyes no longer held fear, but rather a cold and bone-chilling hatred. "Do you think you're so powerful?" Bupa said softly, her voice carrying an eerie calm.

The stepfather paused, seemingly not understanding what she was saying. He was about to continue hitting her when he suddenly felt a sharp pain—Buppa pulled out a small knife from somewhere and stabbed it viciously into his leg. The stepfather screamed and fell to the ground. Buppa stood in front of him, a cold smile playing on her lips. She pulled out the knife and stabbed him again, this time into his throat. Blood spurted out. Buppa stood in the pool of blood, her eyes vacant. She knew there was no turning back. Buppa fled to the Osdy Apartments, an old building with mottled walls and creaking stairs. She didn't know why she had come here, but she remembered that she seemed to have some connection to this place in her past life.

When Teng Shu wrote this part, he also revised the plot. After all, the whole plot was chilling, and the stepfather's character was very unlikable. The fact that he didn't die in the end made people very angry. So Teng Shu changed the plot to a tragic ending where the beast father dies. This would make it easier to make subsequent revisions. That's what Teng Shu did. Also, there are some confusing parts in the ghost story, mainly about the two souls, the big and small Buppa. But the big and small Buppa are actually just the same soul. However, because Buppa's soul was reincarnated as a little girl, the small Buppa appeared. The small Buppa is the dominant one, not the big Buppa's soul.

Following her memory, she pushed open the door to room 609. The room was dark, with only a dim yellow light flickering. Bupa went in and suddenly heard a noise coming from the bathroom. She went over and pushed open the door—a man was standing inside, holding a knife. He was the landlady's nephew, a thug with a face full of scars. "Get out!" he roared. Bupa didn't move. Enraged, the man grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall. Bupa struggled desperately, but the man was too strong. Her jaw was broken off with a chilling "crack." Bupa's eyes widened, filled with fear and despair. Her body fell to the ground, blood gushing from her mouth. However, she did not die. Her soul floated out of her body, turning into a cloud of black mist. Her hatred and pain had transformed her into an evil spirit, and the entire Austeri Apartments would become her place of revenge.

From that day on, the residents of the Osdy Apartments began to experience strange things. Some would hear a woman crying in the bathroom at night, followed by the sound of sharp fingernails scraping against the wall. Some would see Buppa's pale face in the mirror, her mouth twisted as if she were laughing. The landlady ran an underground casino, and her business was originally booming, but recently things started to go wrong. Gamblers would suddenly go crazy at the card table and slit their own throats with razors. The landlady's nephew also died; his body was found in the bathroom with obvious strangulation marks on his neck. Alan, a young migrant worker, had recently moved into the Osdy Apartments. He was a kind person, and when he saw Buppa sitting alone in the stairwell, he couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her. "Are you alright?" he asked.

Buppa looked up, and Alan was stunned—there was a familiar look in her eyes, the look of a girl he had liked when he was a child. “You are… Buppa?” he asked tentatively. Buppa didn’t answer, but her gaze seemed to soften. Alan’s heart skipped a beat—could she really be Buppa? Buppa’s soul began to become unstable. Her memories of her past life and her hatred in this life intertwined, making her sometimes lucid and sometimes insane. Sometimes, she would become that gentle little girl, sitting in the stairwell in a daze; other times, she would become that evil spirit consumed by hatred, attacking every man who approached her with a razor. Alan tried to help her, but he discovered that Buppa’s soul was being eroded by the resentment of Little Buppa. Every night, Buppa would lose consciousness and become a crazed killer.

“We must find a way to save her,” Alan said to the landlady. The landlady sneered, “Save her? She’s not human anymore, she’s an evil spirit!” Alan ignored her and went to find a ghost hunter. However, the first hunter was no match for Buppa and was killed by her. Even worse, the landlady’s nephew also died. His body was found in the toilet with obvious strangulation marks on his neck. Buppa’s revenge continued. Gamblers died one after another, and their bodies were found in the casino with terrified expressions on their faces. The landlady finally became afraid. She knelt on the ground and prayed, hoping that Buppa would let her go.

But Buppa wouldn't listen to anyone's pleas for mercy. Her soul had been completely consumed by hatred, and she only wanted everyone to die with her. Alan decided to try again. He found another ghost hunter, but the result was the same—the master failed. Buppa's soul still wandered in the apartment. On the day little Buppa's body was burned, Buppa's soul let out a shrill scream. Flames engulfed her body, but her hatred remained. In the end, her soul was also burned to ashes by the flames, unable to reincarnate. Alan stood in front of the apartment ruins, holding a box in his hands. It was a gift that Buppa had given him when she was a child.

He opened the box; inside was a yellowed photograph—Buppa smiled brightly in the photo, with the words "May you always be happy" written beside it. Tears streamed down Alan's face. He finally understood that Buppa's hatred had vanished with her soul. He took a deep breath, closed the box, and turned to walk towards the sunlight. The curse of the Osdy Apartments was finally over. But was it really over? In the end, the previously forgotten, wrapped corpse reappeared at the entrance of the Osdy Apartments. Some children saw it, and one child was encouraged to go and investigate. As soon as he approached, the corpse jumped, scaring the children into running away in a panic. At this point, the movie could be considered over, symbolizing the end of the ghost story.

There are some confusing parts in the entire ghost storyline, but these are mainly related to Buppa's soul transformation. First-time viewers might find it strange that the female ghost suddenly transforms into an adult and then into a little girl. This is mainly due to the previous two games. If you've seen Ghost 1 and 2, you'll understand the plot and even know what happened when Buppa appears. However, if you haven't seen them, you'll be completely confused. Buppa herself is also influenced by her past life memories, which is why she came to the Osdy Apartments. But even if she hadn't come here, Buppa's life wouldn't have been good, since her stepfather is also a beast.

The plot of "Ghosts" was actually quite good, but it was limited to 12 parts. The third part wasn't very good because the character of Buppa was really tragic. In the third part, it was clear that Buppa was a reincarnated soul. She had a miserable life in the first part, and after finally being sent to reincarnate, she ended up with a very tragic script. In Tengshu's opinion, there was no need to add Buppa. It would have been enough to just let Buppa be a loved child. The third part could have introduced a new character, but perhaps wanting to capitalize on the popularity of "Ghosts 1" and "Ghosts 2," it still incorporated a lot of elements from "Ghosts 12," such as the Osti Apartments, the police, and the master. These were all very clichéd, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

However, there was a sequel to this story. Later, someone interviewed the people at the filming location of the ghost story and discovered that the apartment was still there, but the people were more terrifying than the ghosts. When the blogger went there, night had fallen and everything was quiet. The apartment, shrouded in legend, seemed out of place with the surrounding prosperity. The mottled exterior walls looked even more old under the moonlight, and the bronze door hinges made a chilling groan. The interior of the apartment was dark and gloomy. A cold wind blew through the corridor, making a rustling sound as it moved the old blinds. The lights in the stairwell flickered, as if they could be swallowed up by some unknown force at any moment. The residents walked hurriedly, without exchanging words with each other. Their faces were full of the hardships of life and the uncertainty of the future. They avoided meeting the blurry figures on the walls, which seemed to be telling terrifying stories of the past.

Inside the room, dust covered the old furniture, and a musty smell filled the air. In the framed photograph above the bed, the figures in the photos had stiff expressions, as if they were about to recount their tragic lives. Every night, when all was quiet, water droplets dripping from the ceiling would break the deathly silence, stirring up a nameless fear in people's hearts. Despite this, the residents of the apartment continued to live tenaciously. Their minds were more focused on how to fill their stomachs than on the ghostly figures. They sat around the flickering candlelight, a bowl of hot food being the only warmth they could feel. In this gloomy apartment, life and fear coexisted, but people were too lazy to care about such trivial matters. After all, they didn't care about ghost movies; they only cared about whether they could survive.

Moreover, Thai horror films have followed the same path as most horror films, which is unavoidable. The decline of horror films is a global phenomenon; it's difficult for horror films worldwide to continue making them, and the situation is extremely challenging. However, Teng Shu didn't say anything. After all, this is the fate of horror films these days. There's basically no way forward for horror films; most of the paths have already been explored. So there's not much to say. Teng Shu was naturally indifferent to this. He was going to retire anyway, and he hoped that some talented people would emerge in the Pokémon world to write good scripts and revive the horror film genre. However, achieving this was extremely difficult, and Teng Shu wasn't particularly optimistic about it. But he wouldn't say anything. He would do what he was supposed to do, and he wouldn't bother with things he wasn't supposed to do.

"Alright, now it's time to get back to my business." Teng Shu yawned. He had some things to do, like continuing his pursuit of Kayako. He hadn't even touched this damned side of the story yet, but he didn't think conquering Kayako would be too difficult. After all, Kayako herself had relatively few pitfalls. The biggest problem was avoiding some minor issues, like the relationship between Kayako and Kobayashi. Kayako's feelings for Kobayashi were a problem; she had deep feelings for him. For example, he felt he had a chance to have Saeki Takeo take his place. After all, such a thing wasn't a particularly serious problem for him; he'd watched so many romance anime. (End of Chapter)
