I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Seeing these negative reviews, Akai was sweating profusely, but he had already started streaming, so he decided to see how the stream went first. If it didn't work out, he would switch to another game.

When Akai checked the live stream, he found that the number of viewers had already reached over 500, and the reason for attracting so many people was...

Holy crap! Is that really a bear? I can't even compare to a bear!

[I'm shocked! This game just launched, there was no early access, so how come this streamer is already so skilled on their first try?]

The audience was making a lot of comments, and the reason for this was that it involved a lot of things. Wearing the bear armor, whether it was killing small monsters or bosses, it was completely damage-free. The perfect control of the situation made it seem like it was on fire.

Honestly, if I hadn't seen the streamer using a gamepad and there wasn't anything strange on the computer, I would have suspected the streamer was using cheats.

The viewers in the live chat were also very shocked. After all, this was quite a shock. This was a bear wearing a dunk! It was like seeing a brown bear in a zoo dribble the ball and dunk on Shaquille O'Neal in my previous life, and then showing off its big four-legged iron-clad stance. This was already at the level of a spirit.

"...I didn't expect Big Black to have such strong talent." Akai decided to wait and see. If the controversy continued, he would switch to another game, such as the previous game "Black Kingdom". Although that game had been out for a while, it still had some popularity, and he wouldn't be influenced by others' controversies.

At this moment, the bear wasn't thinking too much. It was simply operating the controller, performing one amazing maneuver after another, which immediately drew praise from countless people. Driven by word of mouth, the number of viewers directly exceeded one thousand, which was already quite impressive for a new streamer.

...

"Pah! What kind of trash game is this? It's a game developed by the Kanto region itself, and they only don't lower the price in Kanto, but everyone else does? How ridiculous!" Teng Shu was so angry he almost laughed. This was the first time he had ever seen such a shameless game company. This behavior was truly a slap in the face.

Previously, this game company even promoted themselves as the second college student to emerge from the Kanto region, acting like "we're amazing," and even comparing themselves to "Black Kingdom." Is this how they compare themselves? Teng Shu was so angry he almost laughed. These things are really interesting. And since the price isn't being lowered in the Kanto region, but elsewhere, it's no wonder the game has such a large following.

Teng Shu was a little angry. After applying for a refund, he still felt somewhat aggrieved, so he simply opened his phone to see what other people were complaining about. After watching a few videos, Teng Shu felt a little better. However, thinking about this game, Teng Shu still felt a bit unlucky. This damn game was really the most frustrating game he had ever seen. However, Teng Shu was also glad that he hadn't played for too long, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get a refund.

Although Teng Shu knew this game had some problems, he didn't expect it to have such a pacing. Even setting aside external factors like the plot, from a purely gameplay perspective, Teng Shu didn't think it was a good game. It was more like a half-finished product, released before it was fully developed. Teng Shu pursed his lips but didn't say anything. After all, he had suffered a similar loss before, and it was a real headache.

After taking a few deep breaths, Teng Shu put the matter out of his mind. He wasn't really that concerned about it now, since he had already received a refund. Even if there were problems, it wouldn't really matter to him.

"So... how about we make some chicken feet?" Teng Shu pondered. He was feeling a bit craving something. He had this habit of munching on something while watching videos, but he didn't want to eat sunflower seeds or potato chips, so chicken feet would be a good option. However, in the world of Pokémon, eating chicken feet was quite a luxury.

Because in the world of Pokémon, most animals are domesticated, so they are very expensive. Even chicken feet cost 800 yuan per kilogram. Tengshu felt a stomachache just thinking about that price. However, because of the price, the chicken feet here are actually some unique dishes, and the preparation methods are also quite sophisticated.

"Fine, I'll splurge a little!" Teng Shu decided to splurge after all. After all, the purpose of making money is to enjoy it. If you make money but don't enjoy it, then what's the point of making it?

Besides, Teng Shu doesn't eat this every day. With that in mind, Teng Shu went to the warehouse and took out the chicken feet he had bought earlier. He planned to make lemon chicken feet.

Chapter 593 A Request That Came to Our Door

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Teng Shu subconsciously looked around. He was actually a little worried about whether Meng Huan was there. After all, Meng Huan often appeared in this area and would bring some strange ingredients. Even Teng Shu himself was a little uneasy.

However, after looking around, Tengshu didn't see Mew, which relieved him. Mew was a big eater, and its way of eating was very unique. Even Tengshu himself didn't know what ingredients it used, and he had to ask someone like Professor Oak to find out.

"But now that the dream hasn't come, I feel a little bored instead, what's going on?" Teng Shu complained as he put on an apron and took out chicken feet from the food cabinet. But when he took out the chicken feet, he saw some macaroni fall on the ground.

When Teng Shu saw the macaroni, he paused for a moment. Speaking of macaroni, Teng Shu thought of Liu Maoxing, the protagonist of the old manga "Cooking Master Boy" that he had read before he transmigrated. It seemed that he was executed because he lost a cooking competition.

Tengshu was quite shocked at the time. After all, he was very curious about manga like "Cooking Master Boy". However, he felt it was a pity that no more anime adaptations were made. But he still remembered some of the dishes in the series.

Moreover, in Teng Shu's opinion, some of the ingredients in the early episodes of "Cooking Master Boy" were already of inhuman quality, and some were even quite bizarre, but they could still be recreated, so it was still quite realistic.

It was because of this incident that Teng Shu paid attention to this comic that he hadn't read in a long time. After reading it, Teng Shu could only say that Liu Maoxing's death was not unjust.

After all, Liu Maoxing's original method involved adding minced garlic and fermented bean paste to macaroni, specifically an extra-spicy bean paste made with bird's eye chilies. He then added it to dumplings, along with Chinese broth and French cream, which was hailed as a glamorous whirlwind romance between Sichuan and French cuisine...

When Teng Shu saw this, he couldn't hold back anymore. What the hell? Why is your Little Master starting to make some weird things? Just thinking about it made Teng Shu's scalp tingle. After all, these so-called dumplings looked like a kind of dark cuisine, and a pretty bad one at that, probably similar to Banlangen instant noodles.

"Should we..." Teng Shu was a little curious because the recipe was so bizarre that even Teng Shu felt a strong sense of awkwardness. However, now he could slowly try to study it. Thinking about this, Teng Shu had some ideas.

However, considering this, Tengshu gave up. This thing looked too bizarre, so it was better to give it up. Otherwise, if it was made and not eaten, wouldn't it be a waste of food?

So Tengshu simply made lemon-marinated chicken feet, which were ready to eat afterward, but they still needed to be marinated first.

After finishing the chicken feet, Teng Shu yawned, then glanced at his phone. There was still some time before dinner, so Teng Shu decided to rest for a bit and then go check on Pipi. Pipi didn't know how much longer it would take for his treatment to be completed.

Upon arriving at the infirmary, Tengshu saw Professor Oak, who was currently dozing off on the sofa. His Dragonite was sitting opposite him, seemingly doing nothing. Tengshu didn't see the Dratini, assuming it had already been treated and returned home. However, he was puzzled as to why Dragonite was there instead.

Clefairy is currently receiving treatment here. Tengshu discovered that extending the treatment time can speed up Clefairy's recovery, which Clefairy likes very much. So now Clefairy receives treatment here every day, and as long as no other Pokémon needs treatment, it's Clefairy who gets it.

Teng Shu leaned over for a look. With Dialga's gem blessing, Pipi would be fully healed in just three more days. It has to be said that Dialga's gem is quite useful, although its application range is somewhat peculiar.

"Pipi, keep going! You can be discharged in three more days." Teng Shu smiled and touched the medical pod, while Pipi happily raised its little paw and touched Teng Shu's paw. Teng Shu's eyes also held a hint of a smile.

Pipi is quite an interesting little guy, but he's also very lucky, since he has a group of companions waiting for him outside, which is a very rare thing.

"Dean." Just as Teng Shu was looking at Clefairy, Locke walked over. He looked at Teng Shu and then called out in a low voice. Teng Shu turned his head and then found that Dragonite had already gone back, and Professor Oak had also disappeared, probably taken away by Dragonite.

"Locke, how's Dratini?" Teng Shu didn't think anything bad would happen. After all, there wasn't much to say. Locke was a master of psychology, and he'd done so much; his abilities were undeniable. Besides, Professor Oak's expression was so calm, so naturally...

"It's alright, but... a friend of mine contacted me and wants to trouble you with something." Locke said somewhat helplessly. He mentioned something, and Teng Shu paused upon hearing this. Someone had actually contacted Locke, wanting his help? What could he possibly do?

However, Teng Shu immediately realized that he seemed to have an identity that could help others, namely his identity as a Death Whisperer. So, was there a case that needed his help?

"Is there some kind of case?" Teng Shu asked curiously. However, the fact that they were able to contact him meant that the matter must have some special aspects. But that was normal. If it wasn't a particularly troublesome case, they probably wouldn't have come to him. Miss Officer Jenny was very concerned about her reputation.

“Yes, there’s a case, it’s very tricky, and the method of the crime is extremely heinous, so…” Locke was a little embarrassed. Although he knew that Teng Shu was a Death Whisperer, it still felt strange to ask Teng Shu for help with this matter. However, Teng Shu decided to find out more. If there was anything he could do to help, that would be the best outcome.

...

Meanwhile, at the police station in Yuhong City, a group of Officer Jenny sat together, their brows furrowed as they looked at the documents in their hands, seemingly deep in thought. This was a case handling center.

The tragic case occurred one morning. When Aunt Tingye pushed open the carved wooden window, the copper bells on the eaves were tinkling. The morning sun of Yuhong City shone on her. She had gotten up early on purpose. The aroma of glutinous rice chicken wafted from the bamboo steamer, mixed with the bubbling sound of chicken soup simmering in the casserole. This was all lunch that Tingye had prepared for her son and daughter-in-law.

For Aunt Tingye, she never had any extravagant desires. She just hoped that her child could grow up peacefully and then she could hold a baby in her arms.

In fact, Aunt Tingye's son also got married last year. As newlyweds, Aunt Tingye was in a very good mood. However, her son was still too stubborn. Despite being a young man, he insisted on living alone in that secluded place outside, saying that he didn't want the neighbors to disturb him.

"These two children..." Aunt Tingye's hand, which was wiping the mahogany dining table, suddenly stopped. She glanced at her phone, which showed that it was already noon, but she hadn't made a single call.

"Mom, I'm bringing my wife home for lunch tomorrow!" The excited voices of the young couple from yesterday still seemed to echo in her ears, but the clock had passed noon and the sun was shining on the ground, yet Aunt Tingye hadn't received a single phone call, which made her somewhat puzzled.

She picked up her phone and made a call, but the cold female voice only quietly reminded her that no one answered the phone, and there was no reply to her messages either, which made Aunt Tingye a little worried.

Anxious, Aunt Tingye drove quickly to her son's place, a small town on the outskirts of the city. At that moment, the detached house in the outskirts of the city was unusually quiet.

When Aunt Tingye pushed open the door, the wide-open gap in the gate resembled a gaping mouth, and the cheerful barking of the elves that used to fill the air was completely gone. The dark red stain in front of the main house steps made her pupils shrink. The Growlithe's curled-up body looked like a crumpled red cloth. The Growlithe was dead, and its head was sunken.

"Xiao Gang! Xiao Hong!" Her shouts shattered the quiet of the room. Aunt Tingye pushed open the door with trembling hands, and then saw dark brown stains on the back of the pillows on the master bedroom's wedding bed. At the end of the drag marks on the floor, bloodstained clothes were piled up into a hideous little mountain. Aunt Tingye frantically called the police. When Miss Joy rushed into the yard with Pikachu, Aunt Tingye was already sitting there, stunned and speechless for a long time.

Police cordoned off the scene. A young officer covered his mouth and walked quickly past, while the experienced Officer Jenny crouched down to examine the Growlithe's body, her brows furrowing more and more deeply.

“The murderer’s methods were extremely cruel,” Miss Officer Jenny said in a low voice. Aunt Tingye slumped on the threshold, clutching a piece of blood-stained cloth in her hand—it was Xiaohong’s favorite floral apron.

Officers began to busy themselves, and in an abandoned hydroelectric power station not far away, they made a discovery.

Deep inside the cave of the abandoned hydroelectric power station, as the beam of a flashlight swept across the damp rock walls, moss could be seen everywhere, indicating that no one had been here for a long time. However, the well-trained Pokémon could smell the scent, and the officers' boots stepped on something strange. Then the officers stopped, and under the flashlight beam, Xiao Hong's marriage certificate was floating in the sewage, the gold-embossed "double happiness" character stained with blood into an eerie purplish-red.

"Here!" The voice of forensic doctor Kobayashi echoed in the cave. Everyone gathered around and found a small dark red mark in a depression in the rock wall, which looked like dried blood. The corpses here made the expressions of the old men very ugly.

However, due to their duties as Officer Jenny, they still moved these things out, of course, only after the forensic examination was completed.

The horrific scene on the autopsy table made even Officer Jenny, who was used to seeing death, turn her face away. Little Red's chest had unnatural burn scars, and there were even a few toothpicks stuck in the back. Although they were made of wood, they looked cold under the operating lights at this moment.

Xiao Gang's remains were even more shocking. He was still wearing the clothes he wore at his wedding, and the ligature marks on his neck were deep in his muscles, as if a pair of iron clamps had tightly gripped his throat.

"The estimated time of death is between 10 p.m. and midnight last night," the forensic doctor said, removing his mask, his voice hoarse.

“Both of them have suffered for a long time, and it is particularly noteworthy that…” She pointed to the bruises on Xiao Hong’s wrist, her eyes filled with a coldness.

"This was caused by being repeatedly strangled by a thin thread-like object, possibly some kind of rope or..." The forensic doctor's tone was hesitant, with a hint of helpless grief. This must be extremely difficult for the victim's family to accept, but there was nothing they could do; the newlywed couple was dead.

“They said yesterday…that they would bring me some snacks from the city…” Aunt Tingye was allowed to briefly view the body. Her trembling hand touched her son’s cold forehead, tears dripping onto the ligature mark. Her voice trembled, just like her body. Miss Officer Jenny gently patted Aunt Tingye’s back.

Such a brutal case immediately led to the formation of a special task force. The team leader, Jun Sha Qingfeng, stood by the window, gazing at the outline of Feixian town in the distance. According to the clues obtained from the business hall, Xiao Gang's phone was last located near the hydropower station, suggesting that the murderer had taken those items.

Moreover, a lot of valuables were taken from the house, so it looks like a burglary. But since someone was killed, the nature of the crime is different.

“Captain Feng, we found this by the nearby river.” An officer ran over holding an evidence bag containing a delicate silver ring with the words “Gang & Hong” engraved on the inside and faint scratches on the edge.

Officer Jenny gave this to Aunt Tingye.

When Aunt Tingye took the ring, her fingers suddenly trembled violently, while Junsha Qingfeng's gaze fell on an almost invisible scratch on the inside of the ring, the shape of which looked exactly like the tip of scissors.

As night fell, the task force's lights shone brightly outside the hydroelectric power station, making it as bright as day. Officer Jenny stood at the cave entrance, listening to the conversations coming from inside. She knew that this case was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface. Although the culprit was obvious, there was nothing they could do. Although they had found clues, they couldn't find a clear suspect.

These suspects were cunning, and the house Xiaogang chose was too remote, with hardly any neighbors nearby, causing the case to reach a stalemate.

At that moment, she thought of someone: the Deathspeaker recognized by the Alliance...

Chapter 594 The Talkative Phoenix King and the Abandoned Altaria?

"So, this case is..." Teng Shu looked at Officer Jenny in front of him. She briefly explained the situation to him and then took him to the crime scene and the place where the body was disposed of. Teng Shu was now immune to this.

It's not that Teng Shu has become cold and heartless, but rather that Teng Shu's heart has hardened a bit. After all, generally speaking, unless it's a particularly serious murderer or case, the Officers from the Alliance wouldn't specifically come looking for him. But since they've come, it proves that there's something wrong here.

The details of the case and the victims' bodies that Officer Jenny had described on the way also angered Teng Shu. However, Teng Shu knew his job, and after looking around, he encountered the ghosts of the victims in the bridal chamber. But this time, the ghosts...

Teng Shu stood at the entrance of the bridal chamber. On the wall hung the couple's wedding photo. In addition, there was a ghost standing inside. Strangely, one side of the ghost was male and the other side was female, which looked very strange. However, after glancing at the photo, Teng Shu realized that the ghost was actually the couple on the wall.

It's just a combined version.

"Did you see that?" Captain Officer Jenny's eyes showed some shame. She didn't want to ask Teng Shu for help, but the case was just too heinous, extremely heinous, and it had even been posted online. Officer Jenny and her team were under a lot of pressure, so they had no choice but to ask Teng Shu for help.

“I saw it.” Teng Shu nodded, then called over the portrait artist, and sat there, reciting the name and appearance described by the strange ghost.

Before long, the faces of the four murderers were drawn. Teng Shu even showed them to the ghost, who nodded after looking at them, indicating that they were indeed them.

Afterwards, Teng Shu also asked the ghost to recount the entire process of its death. After it finished, the ghost stood there quietly, staring blankly at the wedding photo.

"Mr. Teng Shu, thank you so much! With your help, we'll arrange the arrests right away!" Captain Officer Jenny was very excited as she held the documents in her hand. Everything on them matched the findings of the crime scene investigation, so they could immediately apply for arrests. The only problem was how to punish these four beasts.

The death penalty is a certainty, but what exactly...?

"Hmm... I'll stay here for a while." Teng Shu looked at the ghost in front of him with some doubt. According to Teng Shu's understanding, normally, when a ghost knows that its enemy is going to be arrested and sentenced to death, it should immediately get rid of its inner conflict and then become a Buddha. But the ghost in front of him showed no intention of leaving at all.

Although Officer Jenny had some doubts, she had already finished surveying the area and figured that Tengshu and the ghost might want to say something, so she left quietly and closed the door behind her.

Teng Shu was somewhat perplexed. Although he genuinely wanted to communicate with the other party about why they were staying there, wasn't this behavior of bringing someone directly to his door a bit outrageous?

It's really quite unsettling.

Meanwhile, the ghost was still quietly looking at the wedding photo. Teng Shu walked over. This ghost could be communicated with, but the other party's situation was rather special.

"Hello, what is your wish?" Teng Shu was a little puzzled. Normally, shouldn't one harbor the most resentment towards the person who killed them? But the ghost in front of him was different. It was very honest. Even though it knew that the murderer was going to be taken away, the ghost did not make any move. This made Teng Shu a little confused about what was going on with this evil spirit.

"Atony." The man spoke softly, while on the other side, the woman's face remained asleep. Teng Shu paused upon seeing this. Atonement? What did this have to do with the man?

Teng Shu had just heard the whole story from the man. The man hadn't done anything. These beasts came to him on their own. What did it have to do with the man?

“It was me. I insisted on building our house in such a quiet place, despite my mother’s objections. She said it would be peaceful and give us a sense of seclusion in a bamboo forest. I didn’t even call the police when we were robbed the first time. I had a knife with me while I was cooking, but I thought that if I just endured it, nothing would happen, so I didn’t resist.” The man said softly, his face contorted and his body trembling.

Upon hearing this, Teng Shu paused for a moment. If that was the case, it didn't seem to make any mistake. After all, the man had indeed done those things, and if the man had done all that before, then he might now have a new chance of survival.

But he didn't do it.

Putting aside everything else, if the man had neighbors next to him, these beasts wouldn't dare to do this. After all, it was because he had no neighbors and was all alone that this tragedy happened. Teng Shu rubbed his face. So, was the man's wish to atone for his sins?

Teng Shu ultimately said nothing. Atonement is a very difficult thing to judge, so Teng Shu felt that he couldn't say anything. For a man, there are too many "what ifs" that have piled up into his current regret. How long this regret will last, Teng Shu didn't know, and no one else did either. Perhaps in the future, this man's soul will be trapped here forever, tormenting himself day after day in painful despair.

The hardest hurdle to overcome in life is actually the hurdle in one's own heart.

Teng Shu went back. He only came here to help catch people. With names and images, the probability of catching them had increased to the highest level. Officer Jenny wasn't just sitting around doing nothing. In fact, when Teng Shu boarded the plane, he received news that Officer Jenny had already arrested the four beasts and would process them at lightning speed and execute them quickly.

Yes, the death penalty.

Given the crimes these guys committed, ordinary life imprisonment is no longer enough for them; only the death penalty is their final fate. Teng Shu supports this, after all, what these guys did was too heinous. And that old woman was also very pitiful; she was about to become a grandparent, but her son and daughter-in-law were both dead, and killed so tragically. It can only be said...

Teng Shu shook his head, then found his seat and sat down. He sat in a window seat. The plane ticket was bought by Officer Jenny, since Teng Shu was here on business. Moreover, given Teng Shu's current situation, he might receive similar invitations in the future. However, Teng Shu didn't really care. If needed, he was willing to go and help out, since his work at the orphanage was going relatively smoothly.

"When the time comes, let's turn the orphanage into a fully automated one. That way, it will be able to operate more smoothly." Teng Shu thought to himself. He felt that his idea was good, and looking at the upgrades and products available for the orphanage, it was indeed possible to gradually move it towards a fully automated mode, which would make Teng Shu's work much easier.

"Tengshu? What are you doing here?" A familiar voice called out. Tengshu turned his head and saw Fengwang, who was looking at him with a surprised expression.

Teng Shu was also a little surprised. He was on a plane, but he saw Ho-Oh. Luckily, he saw it from inside the plane. If he had seen it from outside the plane, it would have been a lot of trouble.

"I'm here on a business trip... what about you?" Teng Shu originally wanted to call out, but considering Feng Wang's special circumstances, Teng Shu gave up and held back. Feng Wang then smoothed her long hair and sat down next to Teng Shu, gesturing with the bag in her hand.

"I came here to buy something. After all, there's a game that's setting up an offline store today, but it's really ridiculous that they're doing it right here. There are so many cities out there," Phoenix King complained. Teng Shu paused for a moment after hearing this, then glanced at Phoenix King. What Phoenix King said wasn't wrong; it actually made a lot of sense.

After all, some games and anime only choose to collaborate in big cities. The reason why Yuhong City is popular is probably because of the department store inside.

So sometimes when Tengshu wants to buy something, he can only choose to use a proxy buyer. However, there aren't many things that Tengshu wants to buy in this world, so he doesn't have to think about how to buy these things every day, which makes things a bit easier for him.

Some people are so obsessed that they will even pay for others to eat, while they only need to collect the prizes from the event and have to pay for the other people separately, which is quite outrageous.

Teng Shu glanced at Feng Wang beside him. Today, Feng Wang was also wearing a dress, but it had a gothic feel to it. Her makeup was very elegant, which made it look a bit strange. It was like someone with a punk hairstyle wearing a suit, which was very awkward.

"Speaking of which, Dean Tengshu, did you see Jirachi last time?" Ho-Oh glanced at Tengshu and asked. Tengshu paused for a moment, then his lips twitched.

Of course, I've met Jirachi before. And Jirachi talks a lot, which left Tengshu a bit bewildered. But when I thought about what Jirachi had told me last time, Tengshu hesitated. If I told Ho-Oh about these things, Jirachi would die, right?

"I've met him, and he was brought by Miss Luo." Teng Shu coughed, and Ho-Oh curled its lips after hearing this. Sure enough, it was Lugia. But there was nothing it could do. After all, that was Jirachi. That guy's ability to talk was just too strong.

And he's also a chatterbox.
