Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Boss, do you have any opinions on this promotion?" The professional agent came over and asked softly.

Teng Shu scratched his head. Although this was his first time working in the film industry, he knew the importance of publicity and promotion. There were many movies in the Pokémon world. If he didn't promote it, who would know about his movie?

"Normal.ah..." Teng Shu hesitated for a moment, he thought of the promotional methods of some horror movies he had seen before, for example, a movie with dolls occupying the center position, they would set up a haunted house, and then invite people to clean it, and then scare them, and then post this as a spoof on the Internet to attract everyone's attention.

Because these pranks will be explained afterwards, and a certain amount of financial compensation will be given, and the selection of actors is also very particular, there are many people who like to watch such pranks.

"Let the Puppet Theater start preparing for business. Tickets for visitors to enter during this period are free." Teng Shu has decided that he will bring the same approach over and make the movie Dead Silence a hot search several times, and then gain people's attention. By then, his debut film will make him famous.

Although there will inevitably be some investment in the early stages, these investments are worth it.

"Then decorate the mansion in the theater where Jamie's father lives, and then hire some housekeeping staff to clean it and decorate it." Teng Shu also used the spoof promotional method.

Of course, in order to avoid problems, Teng Shu also specifically stated that the person must be in good health with no hidden dangers, and that he must ask for the other party's forgiveness afterwards and provide financial compensation. Of course, the most important thing is to be moderate in the shock and stop when it's almost time.

The agent nodded repeatedly after listening to this. After Teng Shu left, he arranged the tasks and reported to the big boss, Zvochi Mujin.

Of course, this is not to tell tales, but to tell the big boss that the promotion is about to begin.

On the second day, a craze called "Dead Silence" instantly swept the entire Hoenn region. Advertising posters were everywhere, and a tattered Mimikyuu doll sat in an empty theater. Then, an old human finger made a gesture of silence, and the name of Dead Silence was written below.

When Teng Shu went out, he felt unwell.

Looking at the advertisements posted everywhere, Teng Shu inexplicably felt embarrassed, but this kind of publicity was actually normal, just like before some big movies were released, there were overwhelming advertisements, and even people who didn't watch movies knew that such a movie was going to be released.

"Dead silence? What kind of movie is this?" The sound of people's curious discussion reached Teng Shu's ears. Teng Shu silently took out his mobile phone, and then found a communication software he often used. After opening it, there was a Mimicryu lying on the edge and staring at him.

Clicking it will bring up a close option, as well as a view option. Clicking on view will lead you to the dead silent poster.

"Fortunately, at least there is no such crappy advertisement as "Shake It" in this world." Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief. If the publicity was too excessive, it would seriously damage the popularity of the advertisement.

When Teng Shu thought about the person in his previous life who would jump to the shake ad and splash screen ad of a certain software even if he just left the phone on the table, he had the urge to drag the person into a silent horror movie and have Mary Shaw pull out the person's tongue.

A group chat in the software called [Hoenn Horror Movie Lovers Exchange Group] flashed twice.

Teng Shu clicked in and took a look.

[Aspiring to be a Pokémon Master: Who says not? I woke up this morning with this horror movie in my face! I don’t know which big director shot it]

[Big tongue, that's not allowed: Didn't you see it? It was shot by a man named Teng Shu. I checked, it's a new director]

Teng Shu touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed.

Chapter 23 I am watching the video on the video website.

[Presenting a horror movie to the world: Will you go to watch it then? ]

After Teng Shu silently sent this message, he chose to peek at the screen.

[What? A man said: Of course I have to watch it. It's rare for a horror movie to have such a strong promotion these days. If it doesn't turn out well, the director can't blame me for being too aggressive.]

[Newbie No. 1: What? Too strong? ]

Looking at the group chat that quickly started repeating itself, Teng Shu closed the chat software. These people were hopeless, all of them were hopeless, just take them out and bury them.

However, Teng Shu himself knew that asking this question in a group chat of horror movie fans was just like asking fishermen in a group chat if they wanted to go fishing at a good fishing spot. It was a bit redundant.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Teng Shu touched the little Q in his arms. He was thinking, what kind of evaluation will Dead Silence get in this world after it is released? As for the other horror movie, Teng Shu has already thought about it, but he still has to wait until Dead Silence is released to see how the market responds to it, and then decide whether to make that movie.

So Teng Shu quickly walked to the company and began to supervise the post-production editing of Dead Silence. He couldn't wait to present Dead Silence to the world.

While Teng Shu was busy supervising the editing of the film, a spoof video appeared on the homepage recommendation of 3D Dragon Video, the largest video website of the Pokémon League.

It was obviously a video that had only been played for a short time, and it didn't even have many views or comments, but it was able to appear on the homepage of the video website, arousing the curiosity of countless people.

"Hey, dear viewers, let me tell you, this video is definitely paid for." At this time, an old lady named [The Disappearing Fox] was broadcasting live. He also noticed this spoof video that suddenly became popular, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

[Need I say this? ]

【Didn't uncle say that 3D dragons will never deteriorate? 】

[Hahaha, 3D Dragon won't degenerate, but Porygon can evolve.]

【Super Krypton Gold Evolution! 】

"Ahem, dear audience, please stop discussing this issue. Let's first criticize this video and see how much effort the uncle put into putting it on the homepage." The disappearing fox coughed twice. He didn't want to be the famous top laner. It would be fun if he was banned.

Then Fox clicked on the video directly, and then a mansion appeared. A group of people were setting up hidden cameras and various mechanisms. Fast forward was used here, and the speed was very fast, but it also allowed people to understand what they were doing.

"Wow? Such a huge investment?" The fox was a little surprised. Just looking at the mansion in front of him, it was obvious that the cost was not low, not to mention there were so many mechanisms.

Gradually, the audience stopped posting comments so frequently and just watched attentively.

[Here it comes, the classic I watch the anchor and watch the video on the video website]

[Another prank? I wonder which new group wants to be famous]

[I still like Alola's antics, they're so funny]

"Well, it's a video published by a string of numbers. I can't tell which team created it." Fox paused and took a look at the publisher, and then found that the publishers of this video were all newly created accounts, only level 2.

"Judging from the arrangement, I can only say that this team has invested a lot of money." Fox commented and then continued playing.

A line of subtitles appeared on the video: "We contacted a local housekeeping company, and then the boss who knew about the situation sent four employees who were unaware of the situation to clean the house."

The fox raised his eyebrows. He didn't say anything, but continued to watch. However, he was a little curious. Who was the Pokémon sent out for the spoof this time?

Then two men and two women appeared in the video. They were all very young and were wearing clothes from a housekeeping company. They looked a little reserved. Then an elderly woman opened the door for them and led them into the mansion.

The woman gave them some instructions on how to clean, and then an old female voice humming could be heard from the video.

"Mary Shaw with her eyes wide open, the puppet grows her arms around her son." As the fox hummed this inexplicable ballad, he couldn't help rubbing his arms. The sound was deliberately made very low, as if the old woman was whispering.

Several domestic workers couldn't help but look at each other. They had naturally heard the song, but after all, the other party was their employer, so they couldn't say anything and just continued to follow behind.

"You children must remember not to shout loudly when you see her." The old woman finished humming, but she began to hum again in a low voice, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she came to the door of a room with the housekeepers.

"My husband is not feeling well, please don't go in and disturb him. We don't have any Pokémon at home, and don't let Pokémon go in and disturb him." The old woman glared at the four housekeepers in front of her, then pointed to a house with a half-open door. The four housekeepers nodded, and then the old woman went out to buy things, asking them to clean up before she came back.

"Okay, now the main show starts." The fox was a little excited. Judging from the arrangement, these people had invested a lot of money, so what would these four unlucky guys experience?

[Don’t you think the song just now is a little strange? ]

However, the audience in the barrage focused on the song that the old woman had just hummed. If the other party was a specially arranged actor, then this song must have some purpose.

[Who is Mary Shaw? The puppet master? ]

The audience was a little confused, but soon no one cared because the spoof had already begun.

The sudden falling of the vase and the door opening and closing even though no one was there made the housekeeping staff notice something strange.

"Are there any ghost Pokémon here?" a male employee asked his companion in confusion, but the other shrugged.

"Didn't the owner say there are no Pokémon here?" Another companion shook his head. He was not very clear about the situation either.

But then, he found that his companion opposite him was staring with eyes wide open in fear, looking behind him, his legs trembling, which made him realize something was wrong. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a rag doll lying on the carpet behind them.

This is a Psyduck puppet.

"Isn't it just a doll that fell down? What's there to be afraid of?" The man shook his head, then walked over and picked up the Psyduck doll. He looked around and saw a bookshelf with many different dolls on it.

Chapter 24 The target of the prank is you

"Hey, don't tell me, these dolls are..." The man was about to say something to his colleague, but he saw these dolls on the cabinet out of the corner of his eye, and they were all looking at him at the moment.

Their heads didn't move, but their eyes were fixed on him.

"Ahhhh!" A sharp scream tore through the tranquility of the night. The two men looked at each other. It was their colleague!

"Jiexia...you...they are looking at me." The colleague's legs had begun to tremble. He wanted to help, but now he could not protect himself. Jiexia swallowed his saliva. He was also being stared at by these puppets!

"This..." When Jiexia was thinking about what to do, he saw something move at the corner of his eye. A sense of fear inexplicably surged into his heart. Jiexia turned his head and saw the Dragonite doll placed in the cabinet, staring at him, then slowly turned its head and looked at him.

At the same time, the dolls in the cabinets began to turn their heads, slowly, one by one, and looked at Jiexia. Jiexia's mind was blank, he couldn't even hear the voices around him. He could only watch stupidly as the puppets turned their heads one by one and stared at him with those weird eyes.

"Wow, the production team did a great job setting up this little mechanism." The fox almost laughed out loud. He knew this was a spoof, so he didn't care at all.

[Hahaha, but I saw them say that they felt the puppet was staring at them before it moved. Does anyone know who it is?]

【What's going on? 】

[I remember it seems to be the use of a concave and convex mirror, which can give people the illusion that the eyes are always staring at you]

"But this side is more entertaining~" The fox smiled and enlarged the screen, looking intently at the two women on it.

Xiaohua and Xiaoguang from the housekeeping company were leaning against the wall at the moment, looking at the dark corridor in the distance with horror.

Just now the two of them saw off the old woman, and then started cleaning from the door, but while they were cleaning, the door opened silently.

At first Xiaoguang thought it was the old woman who came back, but when she went over to look, she found no one outside the door, which made her a little confused. After closing the door, she planned to continue cleaning.

But then, the door opened again.

Xiaoguang went over to look again, and there was still no one outside the door. She turned her head and looked, and there was nothing at the door except a photo hanging there. It was a photo of an old woman. The woman was looking down at Xiaoguang with an expressionless face, which made Xiaoguang feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiaoguang closed the door again, and this time he even locked it.

As a result, just as she turned her head, she heard the creaking sound of the door opening.

When I turned around, the door opened again.

This strange scene made Xiaoguang panic. She had locked the door just now, but it was still opened.

She tremblingly pulled Xiaohua over to close the door. This time they locked it and put on the door chain for an extra layer of security. But at this moment, the photo frame hanging on the wall next to them suddenly fell to the ground. The sound of broken glass made the two girls scream loudly, and there was a series of hahahaha in the barrage.

"Xiaoguang, how come this fell?" Xiaohua pulled Xiaoguang's clothes and looked at the photo frame that fell on the ground with some fear.

"I think I didn't hang on firmly." Xiaoguang was also very nervous. She walked over tentatively and picked up the photo frame on the ground. The photo frame still showed the old woman, but the other party showed a weird smile.

This made Xiaoguang shiver, and he lost his grip on the photo frame and it fell to the ground.

[Oh my god! Did you see that? The photo has changed!]

【High energy alert! 】

[Oh my goodness, was it done by a ghost Pokémon? ]

"Xiaoguang, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohua was also frightened and screamed, but then she found that the door was not opened this time, so she couldn't help but ask.

Xiaoguang's face turned pale. She pointed at the photo below, but found that this time the old woman in the photo had returned to her original expressionless face, as if everything that had just happened was her illusion.

This made Xiaoguang a little confused, so he hurriedly said it was okay, then picked up the photo frame and hung it on the wall.

Then Xiaoguang and Xiaohua continued to clean while suppressing their inner fear. Then Xiaoguang accidentally glanced at the door to see if it was open.

Fortunately, the door was not opened.

But the next second, Xiaoguang, who breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to continue cleaning, suddenly saw a strange situation in his sight.

She paused, then turned her head.

[Ahhh! Why is the old lady in the photo frame gone? ]

[My fucking cabinet is moving, I don’t want to play anymore! ]

Netizens who watched the video couldn't help but wail. They almost forgot that this was a spoof video.

"Calm down, calm down. I have to say that the production team is very creative this time." The fox licked his lips. He became interested. This spoof was so realistic that he wanted to try it out.

And in the video, Xiaoguang obviously also discovered this problem.

"Xiaohua... why is the old lady in the photo gone?" Xiaoguang's voice was trembling a little, and after Xiaohua was patted on the shoulder by her, she let out a sharp cry. She stopped when she noticed it was Xiaoguang, but after hearing Xiaoguang's words and looking at the photo frame, Xiaohua's body was shaking.

"I, I don't know..." Xiaohua's voice was filled with tears.

The next second, the light at the corridor door suddenly flickered. The rapid alternation of black and white made people squint their eyes. When they opened their eyes, Xiaoguang and Xiaohua saw an old woman standing there in the flickering darkness.

The lights suddenly came on, and Xiaoguang and Xiaohua saw the old woman's strange look at the same time. Her eyes were bulging, her eyeballs were almost falling out, and her face was covered with bloodstains.

Then the lights went out.

From the corridor to the door, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Immediately afterwards, a strange sound came from the darkness, accompanied by the screams of two girls. An old woman whose body was twisted to the extreme suddenly jumped out from the darkness and pounced towards Xiaoguang and Xiaohua.

The video was now divided into two sides. On the other side, a twisted old woman emerged from the puppet and roared as she pounced on the two male employees.

The entire video suddenly went black, and then only four different screams could be heard.

The fox looked more intently. He wanted to see what would happen after the darkness.
