Pokémon's Lord of Fear

[Should we combine this into a 10-pull? The chance of drawing rare items will be greatly increased.]

Upon seeing the notification, Teng Shu paused for a moment. A ten-pull? Ten million pulls per pull? That's really expensive. However, looking at this rare item, Teng Shu was still quite tempted. After all, what this item symbolized was very important, at least to Teng Shu. Moreover, Teng Shu knew that this good item was indeed very valuable. Thinking of this, Teng Shu chose to combine it into a ten-pull. He wanted to see what kind of thing he could get from a ten-pull. With this in mind, Teng Shu became more serious. He looked at the item in front of him, excitedly rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and then chose to use the ten-pull.

You have obtained the Flower of Immortality - Teardrop from the Petal Stem

This item is for your and your partner's use only, and can only be used once. After use, your lifespan will be extended indefinitely, and you will remain forever young.

"Hmm, this thing? It looks pretty good, but it seems to have some problems. I wonder how these problems are solved, and it can only be used by my partner and me. What about Grandpa and my older brother? Immortality for two people can be a kind of torture sometimes. But I don't think I need to use it right now." Teng Shu was very calm. Although he had grown up a bit, he was still a young man at heart. Because Xiao Zhi had started his journey, although time was passing normally, people didn't seem to age. Teng Shu thought Xiao Zhi was really awesome. This kind of ability was not something ordinary people could possess. However, Teng Shu still liked this thing.

[You have acquired master-level movie skills] X7
Your films are like a second life; people are amazed by them. You are the world's greatest master.

It was decent, but it made up for all of Teng Shu's shortcomings. Now Teng Shu could achieve the best results in filming this movie. Thinking about this, Teng Shu was satisfied. He now had eight items, but he didn't know what the remaining two items were. Teng Shu was quite curious about this, and he was also quite concerned about this question, so he continued to look through his rewards.

You have obtained a portal to any movie world.

[Open the door, and you can travel to any movie world you want and gain certain special privileges, but you cannot bring anything back to this world.]

You have gained the Fear Aura.

Anyone or any Pokémon that sees you will feel immense fear and tremble under the influence of your aura.

"These two rewards are so-so, but I don't really need anything else. After all, with my current status, I don't need those things. I just need some other things, so these two are a good choice, and they can also give me some new experiences." Teng Shu stroked his chin. The two rewards looked pretty good, but Teng Shu still had some thoughts. He felt that these two rewards were acceptable, after all, with his current status, anything that could be bought with money was not a problem. The only thing that couldn't be bought with money was the problem that gave Teng Shu a headache. With that in mind, Teng Shu put away the rewards and planned to slowly see how to handle things afterward.

However, before leaving, Teng Shu received a phone call from an enthusiastic film fan who felt that there should be another script for The First Commandment, so he sent it to Teng Shu. Teng Shu agreed to take a look, so he turned on his computer, opened his email, and saw the email from the other party, which contained the script for the sequel to The First Commandment.

Under the neon lights of Hong Kong, in the dark alleys, fear spreads like invisible tentacles. Although Detective Li Guoqiang has temporarily repelled the evil spirit possessing the little girl, the real battle is yet to come. Now, the evil spirit's power is growing stronger. It not only controls human fear but also tries to break the "First Commandment"—the ancient taboo of "Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain." In this ultimate showdown concerning the survival of humanity, Li Guoqiang must confront the darkness within his own heart in order to completely eliminate the evil spirit and protect peace on earth. Several months have passed since the last incident, but an uneasy atmosphere still permeates the streets of Hong Kong. Although Detective Li Guoqiang has seemingly returned to a normal life, whenever he closes his eyes, he can still see the little girl's pale face and the eerie incantations she murmurs. He knows that the evil spirit has not truly disappeared; it is merely waiting for the right moment, gathering its strength, and preparing to descend upon the world once more. One late night, Li Guoqiang's phone suddenly rang. A colleague's urgent voice came from the other end: "Li Sir, something terrible has happened! A bizarre incident has occurred at a mental hospital in Sai Wan. Several patients have suddenly gone mad, chanting strange scriptures, and some have even committed self-harm!" Li Guoqiang's heart tightened. He immediately realized—the evil spirits had returned. When he arrived at the mental hospital, the scene before him was horrifying. The patients' eyes were lifeless, their bodies contorted, as if controlled by some invisible force. A nurse told him, trembling, "They...they are not human, they are ghosts! They are looking for new hosts!" Li Guoqiang gripped his gun tightly, knowing that this time the opponent was stronger than ever before.

After a thorough investigation, Li Guoqiang discovered that the evil spirit's goal was not simply to create panic, but to break the "First Commandment"—the taboo against humans taking God's name in vain. In ancient religious texts, the "First Commandment" is considered the key to maintaining the balance between the human world and the spiritual realm. Once broken, the evil spirit will gain endless power and may even be able to control human souls, plunging the entire city into eternal darkness. Even more terrifying, the evil spirit has found a perfect host—a priest named Lin Zhiming. Lin Zhiming was once a devout Christian, but after witnessing too much ugliness in human nature, he gradually began to doubt his faith. The evil spirit took advantage of this vulnerability, possessed him, and used his identity to spread fear and bewitch believers in the church.

Li Guoqiang realized he had to find Lin Zhiming as soon as possible to stop the evil spirit's plot. However, Lin Zhiming was no longer the kind priest; his eyes were filled with madness and darkness. Faced with the evil spirit's relentless pursuit, Li Guoqiang began to doubt whether he could truly defeat it. After all, he had witnessed his partner being possessed by the evil spirit and ultimately dying tragically before his eyes. His heart was filled with fear and self-blame, and he even began to doubt whether he was truly qualified to be the guardian of the "First Commandment." In a confrontation with the evil spirit, Lin Zhiming coldly said to him, "You think you can save everyone? You can't even overcome your own fear!" These words deeply stung Li Guoqiang's heart. He realized that the real enemy was not the evil spirit, but his own inner weakness.

To completely eradicate the evil spirit, Li Guoqiang decided to take a desperate gamble. He sought out a reclusive exorcist in Hong Kong—Master Zhang. Master Zhang told him that the evil spirit's power stemmed from human fear and despair, and only with unwavering faith and fearless courage could it be completely driven away. On a stormy night, Li Guoqiang and Master Zhang sneaked into the church. Lin Zhiming stood before the altar, chanting ancient incantations. The surrounding believers knelt on the ground like zombies. The evil spirit's power had reached its peak, and the entire church was shrouded in an eerie black mist. Li Guoqiang took a deep breath, raised the cross in his hand, and shouted, "In the name of God, I command you to leave this world!" The evil spirit let out a piercing scream, trying to resist, but Li Guoqiang's belief was unwavering. He closed his eyes and recalled his original aspiration as a policeman—to protect the innocent and uphold justice.

At that moment, a dazzling light burst forth from the cross, the evil spirit let out a shrill scream, and finally dissipated into a wisp of smoke. Lin Zhiming collapsed to the ground, his eyes regaining their clarity. After the evil spirit was destroyed, the believers in the church awoke one after another, their eyes no longer filled with fear, but with hope. Li Guoqiang stood at the church door, gazing at the dawn, and finally felt relieved. He understood that the "First Commandment" was not just a religious taboo, but a belief of humanity in fighting against fear and darkness. As long as humanity is united and upholds justice, no force can destroy the light. The streets of Hong Kong returned to their former prosperity, but Li Guoqiang knew that the evil spirits may not have truly disappeared; they were merely lurking in the shadows, waiting for the next opportunity. However, he was no longer afraid, because he understood that true power comes from humanity's belief and courage.

"This script looks alright, but there are still some problems. This film fan didn't understand what I meant." Teng Shu sighed. This film fan had ideas, but not many. The First Commandment wanted to express more than just that; it's a film that can be analyzed in detail. But it's precisely because it's a film that can be analyzed in detail that it has many key points and unique aspects. However, this film fan's discussion was rather weak, which is something Teng Shu felt needed to correct. Thinking about this, Teng Shu had some ideas. He planned to slowly process the things in front of him and then think about how to film his own script.

Teng Shu's film this time is very simple. Teng Shu plans to shoot a standard horror story, except that the main characters are actors, creating a play-within-a-play setting. In the final scene, these actors go home to sleep at night, and while they are sleeping, the movie screen suddenly goes black. After the blackout, there is a sound of equipment, and then someone takes off their helmet, praising how fun they had playing the game of life that day. The only annoying thing is that their memories of their world are wiped every time they enter. In the end, there is a huge world filled with densely packed network administrators. These people are actually just people lying in nutrient tanks.

It's really just a play within a play, a brain in a vat within a brain in a vat. As for whether this can express what Teng Shu wants to say, Teng Shu doesn't think it's a big problem. After all, Teng Shu has his own ideas, and these things themselves have some special intentions. Thinking about this, Teng Shu had some thoughts. Now that he has these master-level skills, doing these things is not a problem for Teng Shu, at least not now. So Teng Shu is very confident that these things are not a problem for Teng Shu now. When the time comes, he can make the audience be shocked by this movie scene.

"Then it can be considered the final work. As for what happens after that, we'll talk about that later. Let's finish filming this movie first." Teng Shu shook his head. He didn't have many ideas. After all, these things had some unique aspects. Thinking about this, Teng Shu had some ideas. He planned to soften these elements and add some psychological horror elements to make the audience deny their own existence. This way, he could achieve the effect he wanted and retire. Teng Shu really wanted to retire.

With this in mind, Teng Shu began today's filming. The entire filming process commenced. Teng Shu demanded perfection in this shoot, eschewing jump scares and instead incorporating a large amount of stream of consciousness and subconsciousness techniques. This was all to achieve what Teng Shu wanted to do: create something intangible in this world, allowing it to experience a novel kind of terror, a chilling experience that leaves the viewer feeling uneasy after watching the film. This was Teng Shu's main objective in making this movie. After all, Teng Shu felt that he had already pushed the boundaries of horror films to a certain level, and further breakthroughs would be extremely difficult. What Teng Shu wanted to do was make this difficulty less daunting. With this in mind, Teng Shu began to develop some ideas.

"This time, I'll incorporate more psychological suggestion and horror scenes to make it more unsettling upon closer inspection, while also guiding the audience to develop some new perspectives on the film's content." Teng Shu decided to revise his film's content, adding more elements that suited him better. Thinking about this, Teng Shu had some ideas. He yawned, a hint of amusement in his eyes. These things were truly interesting, but whether they could be implemented was still a troublesome question.

"These things are a bit troublesome, but they can be dealt with if you want to." Teng Shu improved his film while shooting his retirement project. He planned to retire around the time he finished filming, and then he could enjoy his new life, and maybe even watch some movies, which would be quite interesting. (End of Chapter)
