“So, why do you live here?” Teng Shu didn’t quite understand this question. Although the Chenghua Forest had nice scenery, it was not suitable for living after all. Besides, it was still summer. The Chenghua Forest in summer had a suffocating power. The stuffiness in the air could make people want to die. Moreover, the forest was relatively humid, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening.

“I don’t have money to live anywhere else. If I stay in Kanaz, I will be sent to an orphanage.” The girl named Xia Mei said timidly. Teng Shu looked thoughtful. If this was the case, it made sense. However, looking at the girl in front of him, Teng Shu felt a little strange. Her clothes looked pretty good, but he didn’t expect that she didn’t even have money to live in.

Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark, and Zoroark immediately understood what Teng Shu meant. It flipped through the things in its hands, then looked at its phone and put it down after a moment.

“Boss, our company currently has welfare benefits.” Zoroark said softly to Teng Shu, and Teng Shu nodded. He remembered that there were welfare benefits, and these benefits were used for employees. However, although there have always been employee dormitories, not many people are willing to live in them.

After all, Ghost Pictures was previously located in Kanaz City, so most of the employees here basically have their own houses. It must be mentioned here that houses in the Pokémon world are not very expensive, and it can even be said that the prices are relatively cheap. In most cases, people can afford to buy a house, the only difference is the size of the house.

The price of a super big house like the one that Xiaozhi and the protagonists of previous games live in is a bit more expensive, while the price of an apartment building in the city depends on the geographical location of the apartment building. But in general, it is not very expensive, so you won’t end up spending all your family’s assets on a house. That’s why Teng Shu was so surprised that some people would have no house to live in.

“Well, Xia Mei, our company currently has employee dormitories. You can move there first. After all, this kind of place…” Teng Shu looked at the script in his hand. When he got this script before, Teng Shu always felt that there was something strange about it. Because this thing was a little damp, it gave people a very subtle feeling, as if they were holding wet clothes.

Anyone who has worn wet clothes knows that wearing wet clothes will make people feel uncomfortable all over. Teng Shu had this feeling when he held the manuscript just now, so Teng Shu also knew that Xia Mei might not feel very good living here. What’s more, Kanaz City is originally a coastal port city, and this place is still easily affected by the monsoon climate.

To put it in simple terms, it rains easily in this damn place, and it’s the kind of rainstorm that’s usually heavy, especially during the rainy season. But there’s nothing we can do about it. In the current Pokémon world, except for the Kanto and Johto regions which are connected and separated by mountains, all other areas are islands.

Under such circumstances, these islands are naturally susceptible to the impact of the marine climate. After hearing this, Xia Mei quickly nodded. She naturally wanted to go to a place like the dormitory. After all, although the air in the wilderness is good, it is indeed not suitable for living.

“Have you written anything else besides this?” Teng Shu looked at Xia Mei. He thought the stories written by this girl were very interesting, with a Goosebumps style, so Teng Shu was also very curious whether Xia Mei had written any other stories.

“I’ve written it.” Xia Mei ran back and took out her script from the tree hole. However, the notebook was too damp, so it looked even more awkward now, and the handwriting was a little blurry, but it did look a little scary. Teng Shu looked at the stories curiously and motioned Xia Mei to pack up. He planned to take Xia Mei back and let her live in the company’s dormitory.

The protagonist of the story is still Xiaomei. When Teng Shu saw this, he didn’t know what to say, but he continued reading.

Xiaomei is a single woman who has her own career to do every day. During this period, Xiaomei goes to her own warehouse every night to put things away and take things out. After taking them out, Xiaomei sees a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard staring at her very blatantly, which makes Xiaomei a little scared and she leaves a lot faster.

When passing by a bulletin board, Xiaomei noticed a missing person notice on the bulletin board, which showed that a girl was missing. The girl was wearing a red sweater and carrying a bag. There were a lot of missing girls in recent times, and four girls had already gone missing. Xiaomei looked at it for a while and then went back home to rest.

The next day, Xiaomei planned to go to her warehouse to put things in the evening, but she saw the bearded man from yesterday violently destroying her warehouse. This made Xiaomei very panicked. She picked up the steel pipe next to her and walked over quickly. The bearded man looked at her, and for some reason, he didn’t move. Xiaomei also lifted the steel pipe and knocked down the bearded man. At this time, there were four suitcases in the warehouse.

The suitcases were dripping with blood, and one of them contained a red sweater.

“This reversal is not very good.” Teng Shu commented in his heart. This reversal seems good, but it is just so-so. It can even be said that it is not very good. After all, this reversal constructs a contrasting image. A seemingly weak and helpless woman meets a perverted uncle. Combined with the girl’s disappearance, it gives the audience a feeling that this uncle is a pervert.

Who would have known that the girl herself was actually the serial killer, and the uncle might be the father of one of the victims.

However, at the end, the uncle did nothing and let the other party smash him to death. Teng Shu felt that this was not a good idea and that this setting was not acceptable. After all, this woman was not an evil ghost, and others would not be so scared as to not fight back.

Teng Shu was a little disappointed. The story was not that good.

The next story is about another girl, also called Xiaomei. Teng Shu is not surprised by this. Xiaomei is a social animal who works in a company and lives in a collective apartment. She has a neighbor, a mother and daughter. The daughter goes out to play happily alone every day, and Xiaomei will smile gently when she sees her.

One night when Xiaomei got home, her boss called and told her that there was a work that had to be handed in the next morning. Xiaomei had no choice but to work all night. It was already daytime when she finished, and Xiaomei fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.

As a result, she was woken up by knocking on the door and a girl’s voice. Xiaomei immediately recognized that the voice was from the little girl next door, who kept shouting “Mom, open the door quickly.” Xiaomei tiredly said that she knocked on the wrong door.

But the girl was still shouting, Xiaomei wanted to lose her temper, but she couldn’t do anything, after all, there was a little girl next door, so she told the other party that she knocked on the wrong door, and at the same time she couldn’t get up because she was too sleepy.

But the girl kept knocking on the door, which made Xiaomei very angry. She shouted, “It’s so noisy!” and the outside became quiet.

Xiaomei slept for more than an hour and woke up again to someone knocking on the door. It was Miss Junsha. Xiaomei came over to open the door, but found blood on the door.

Junsha told Xiaomei that the girl next door was hit by a car while playing outside and was lying here covered in blood. She might have hit her head, so she couldn’t recognize her own home. She kept knocking on Xiaomei’s door, trying to seek help from her mother, but eventually she died at Xiaomei’s door due to excessive blood loss and untimely rescue.

Upon hearing the news, Xiaomei widened her eyes in fear. Only then did she realize that she had not knocked on the wrong door. If she had been able to get up and open the door despite her sleepiness, perhaps the little girl would not have died.

Thinking of this, Xiaomei felt a deep sense of suffocation, and in the air, there seemed to be a girl’s voice asking for help and calling for her mother.
“This story is quite good.” Teng Shu nodded. Although this story has some problems, it is quite good overall. Teng Shu personally likes it very much. The only trouble is that this story has some bad reviews. Is Xiaomei wrong?
this is a problem.

After all, the screenwriter also added a state for Xiaomei after staying up all night to work overtime. In this situation, those who have experience of staying up all night to work overtime know how uncomfortable it is to want to sleep. Xiaomei’s tone was gentle at the beginning, and the little girl did not say words like save me or help me, so there was a reason for Xiaomei to misunderstand.

It’s just that a little girl died because she didn’t open the door. For this character, it must be a very painful torture.

But Teng Shu still felt that it was a little bit lacking, so he could only look at it.
“Ah, it’s Xiaomei again?” Teng Shu looked at the name of the protagonist this time with a subtle expression. He really didn’t expect that the protagonist this time was also called Xiaomei. This was very magical, but Teng Shu didn’t say anything, but continued to watch the story.

Xiaomei is an office worker. On her way home from get off work one night, Xiaomei passed by a roadside ID photo selfie machine. The machine had a curtain, but the bottom was empty, so you could see if there was anyone inside. When Xiaomei passed by here, something fell, so she bent down to pick it up.

While picking it up, Xiaomei noticed out of the corner of her eye that there was a man sitting in the selfie camera next to her. He was wearing leather shoes and a pair of white socks, and he was not moving. This made Xiaomei a little curious, but she didn’t think much about it, but quickly returned to her home.

As a result, when Xiaomei went to work the next day, she passed by this place and took a look, and found that the other party was still there, which made Xiaomei even more confused.

In the next few days, every time Xiaomei passed by here on her way to work or home from get off work, she would see the pair of leather shoes and the man’s feet. This made Xiaomei feel a little uneasy. She told this to her colleagues, who suggested that she could take another route.

But Xiaomei’s route is the shortest. If she changes to another route, she will have to go a long way. So Xiaomei doesn’t want to change the route for this reason, so she still goes there at night. When she arrived at the selfie camera, she saw the man’s shoes again.

Xiaomei was planning to leave, but at this moment, the selfie camera produced a photo. Xiaomei plucked up the courage to pick up the photo and planned to see what was inside, but she only saw darkness. Xiaomei was so scared that she screamed. At the same time, the curtain of the selfie camera behind her was pulled open, and Xiaomei screamed after turning her head.

One night later, a man passed by the camera and his lighter fell. When he bent down to pick it up, he noticed that there was a woman sitting in the camera, wearing a pair of high heels. These high heels were the ones Xiaomei had worn before.

Teng Shu was quite satisfied with this story, although it was not particularly scary. Moreover, there were no ghost stories among the others. He didn’t know why. Teng Shu thought it might be because the story styles and types were different.

“Some parts of these stories can be modified. After all, you should be able to see that some parts are not quite reasonable.” Teng Shu handed the script to Xia Mei and said something to Xia Mei. Xia Mei nodded honestly. She naturally knew that there were some unreasonable parts in her story.

But there is no way. If everything is pursued to be reasonable, then some stories will never happen. For example, in the third story, if Xiaomei had sought help from Junsha, the result might have been different, but the other party just didn’t seek help, so it turned out like this.

However, Teng Shu didn’t say anything. After all, after experiencing some magical realities in these years, Teng Shu has become much more accepting of these things.

In Teng Shu’s opinion, the reality in this world is sometimes even more outrageous than nonsense, so sometimes some particularly psychedelic things do happen. Even novels dare not write them like this because readers will criticize them for being unreasonable. However, there is no such concern in reality. It can only be said to be extremely magical.

After taking Xia Mei back, Teng Shu also took Xia Mei to the staff dormitory. Zoroark took Xia Mei there, but Teng Shu did not go with him. He had some other things to deal with, so Teng Shu came to Devon Company. He now had some documents to deal with at Devon Company. By the way, Teng Shu also wanted to come and see Fugui. Teng Shu hadn’t seen this little guy Fugui for a long time.

“But fortunately, I have Fugui. It would be very troublesome if I didn’t have him.” Teng Shu sighed. This little guy Fugui really helped Teng Shu a lot. If it weren’t for Fugui, it would be impossible for Teng Shu to have such a peaceful life. (End of this chapter)
