Outside the live broadcast room, as soon as the truth about the baby swap was revealed, many viewers who were following the broadcast simultaneously and had some detective skills dug out the company and identity information of "The World's Helpless".
An industry insider even listed a table that listed in detail the companies competing with the company where 'Shijian Wunai' works for the project, as well as the people in charge of the project in those companies;
There are seventeen people in total.
The grandson of Mrs. Xia, who had exchanged his academic qualifications and background with "The World is Helpless", was among these seventeen people.
Seeing that the online investigation in the world of the living was in full swing, the Internet in the underworld was also extremely lively and heatedly discussed.
But the focus of many ghost fans is very clear.
They don't care about the 'real or fake' or who the money changer is.
Instead, we are more concerned about the Western devil in the mother's body.
When the mother of "The Helpless in the World" fell "sick", the more experienced ghosts, like Gu Zhisang, were able to see through the screen a tall and strong monster that was very different from the Xia Kingdom ghost.
It has curved horns on its head, a face like a donkey or a rabbit, red eyes, limbs shaped like humans but covered with short fur, upright legs with donkey-hoof-shaped soles, and a long, thin tail trailing behind it.
This opened the eyes of many old ghosts who had gone to hell hundreds of years ago and didn't even know that there were other countries besides Xia.
"I have been dead for more than 700 years, and this is the first time I have seen a foreign ghost. Didn't the old books say that the foreigners were tall and handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes? I have always been curious about them. When I saw them today, I found that this foreign ghost looked a bit like the two masters, the Ox-Faced and Horse-Faced... It's really strange. I think I should go and tease the handsome male ghosts in the underworld.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the two adults, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, are not handsome~"
"Humph, this foreign ghost is so arrogant that he actually ran to our Xia country to bully the living people of Xia country. How can we tolerate this! If you have the guts, come to the underworld and fight!"
"This is not a ghost. Can you have some common sense? This thing is called a devil... Well, it's not your fault that you are ignorant. After all, when many old ghosts died, these guys seemed to have not been created yet."
“…”
Since the monsters from the West were tall and looked quite ferocious, the ghosts from the underworld naturally refused to be outdone and started a new wave of ghost competition.
Many ghosts were trying to prove that the ghosts from Xia country were the most powerful. Only two ghost officials - Ox-Head and Horse-Faced - were not in a good mood after reading some of the comments.
A few minutes later, a ghost who took a selfie with round eyes and a cow face shot at a 45-degree angle posted a solemn statement on his ghost big-eyed boy account, which has tens of millions of followers:
"Don't compare this wild donkey that came out of nowhere with your grandfather, that's just scamming!"
The Horse-Faced Guard on the other side did not get angry, nor did he make any relevant comments.
He was just being emo alone, looking at his handsome horse face in a bronze mirror in his residence, and then looking at the screenshot of the Western devil on his Hell-branded mobile phone with resentment.
When he saw a ghost in the barrage saying that the thing looked like him, he became even more upset and shut himself in silently.
After a while, Ma Mian opened Gu Zhisang's private message interface and sent a private message to his idol with a wronged tone:
Hell Horse Face V: "Sangsang, do I really look like that ugly thing from abroad? QAQ"
——
Gu Zhisang was not aware of the heated discussion about the underworld caused by the Western demons.
The confrontation in the live broadcast room continues.
When she heard Gu Zhisang's question, Mrs. Xia's face froze.
She didn't want to mention this topic, so she avoided it and sneered:
"Why are you still talking so much? Anyway, you know everything now, so just call the police and arrest me!
I know you two hate me, but if I were given another chance to choose, I would still do it! "
"I will plead guilty. I did everything by myself." Old Lady Xia called out the real name of 'World Helpless' with a stubborn tone and determined eyes.
Obviously, at this point, Old Mrs. Xia still thinks she has done nothing wrong.
'The World is Helpless' was somewhat numb, and he gave a bitter smile: "You mean I should not pursue your good grandson, just accept it like this?"
"My academic qualifications that were replaced, and my mother's life that was replaced, are we going to just let it go?"
"They know nothing!" Old Madam Xia slapped the door frame and said sternly, "Besides, your family owed me this, and you should pay it back with blood!"
"I raised your mother, and I took care of her for so many years..."
Hearing this, Gu Zhisang couldn't help but frowned, "Stop, according to what you said, Old Lady Xia, my client and his mother don't know anything either."
"If you insist on settling this score in the live broadcast room, it will take forever. I don't have time to waste with you."
She had a headache because human hearts and human nature were indeed the most unpredictable things in the world, and were also mixed with many complex considerations and emotions.
From Mrs. Xia's perspective, she not only felt that she had the right to take revenge, but also felt that she was very kind by not smothering her "helpless" mother to death.
But for "Helpless in the World", the sufferings their family endured were all unprovoked disasters.
Gu Zhisang just wants to uncover the whole story.
As for right and wrong, rewards and punishments, let the parties involved figure it out and argue about it themselves.
So she asked in a cold voice: "I just want to ask you one question, Old Lady Xia. Do you really just want revenge? Don't you have any sinister desires in these years?"
When she first looked at the family photo from twenty years ago, she discovered that the Western monster that had not yet fully formed was connected to Old Lady Xia.
The two unrelated women standing in the center were both shrouded in a faint black aura.
Therefore, at the beginning, Gu Zhisang thought the same as the audience in the live broadcast room. They thought that this devil was deliberately created by Old Lady Xia, and that she had cast a curse on his mother just like she had cast a curse on "Shijian Wuwu" in order to torture the mother of "Shijian Wuwu".
But when she actually saw Old Lady Xia and her "helpless" mother, Gu Zhisang realized that her previous guess was wrong.
Old Mrs. Xia has a twisted love for her enemy's daughter, as well as a deep hatred and guilt.
The person who was actually haunted by the monster was not the mother of "The World Is Helpless", but Old Lady Xia herself.
48 years ago, a frail woman in her early thirties came out of the hospital with a hungry baby girl in her arms.
When she returned to her small but empty home and looked at the black-and-white photo of her husband hanging on the wall, she cried and laughed, saying that their daughter would "avenge" them and live a good life.
After wiping away her tears, the woman looked at the baby on the bed, and countless cruel thoughts flashed through her mind.
For example, deliberately starving her, causing her to die 'accidentally', or other means of revenge.
Anyway, just kill the child and be done with it.
But when the skinny little child cried loudly because of hunger, Old Mrs. Xia still couldn't bear to do it.
Finally she opened her clothes and fed her enemy's child.
But every late night, she would blame herself for being soft-hearted and make her sleeping child cry in revenge.
She went through this hesitation and struggle for several years, and her hidden mental illness became more and more serious.
The widow of the Xia family was famous among the neighbors for her unpredictable temper and moodiness.
In the eyes of outsiders, although her daughter, "The World Is Helpless", is well-behaved and cute, she always yells at and speaks coldly to the little girl, just like a stepmother.
But no one knows the pain that Old Mrs. Xia has been feeling over the years.
People are all made of flesh and blood.
Being chased by a little kid who kept calling her "Mom", she gradually came to regard the "helpless" mother as her own daughter. Sometimes she would be lost in thought when she looked at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face, thinking:
Stop holding grudges.
After all, she was not the one who harmed his family. His daughter has already exchanged her life for him. He really shouldn't vent his anger on a child.
But intellectually she wanted to distinguish between gratitude and resentment, but emotionally she was totally unable to do so.
Because when the mother of "The World Is Helpless" grew up, her face had the shadow of her biological parents - especially her father.
Although those features were not obvious, they were still too eye-catching for Old Lady Xia who knew what her enemy looked like.
She didn't know she was mentally ill.
I have been ill for a long time and I am very ill.
When she was sober and rational, she would buy the girl a beautiful dress, send her to school, and personally tutor her in her studies...
But every time she fell into depression, she began to deny herself, spitting on herself for being so kind to her enemy's daughter. How could she be worthy of her dead husband? !
So among those 'good' things, there is also more suppression and denial.
In such a torn growing environment, the "helpless" mother grew up to be an outstanding person. She can play the piano, speak fluently, and wears decent and fitting clothes.
But even such a person is extremely inferior and lacks love and affirmation.
When she met her "helpless" father and built a small family, that happy smile was particularly dazzling to Old Mrs. Xia.
Over the years, Old Lady Xia has found out about her biological daughter's current situation and has been silently paying attention to her.
She thought that if she swapped the two girls, her daughter would have a better life.
But in fact, her daughter was not living as well as she thought.
Because of her rebellious personality and the fact that she was a rich second-generation, my daughter was unable to get into college when she was in high school and had to go abroad to attend a fake university to gain some experience.
After getting married and having children, she and her husband had a clash of personalities and their relationship was not harmonious. Their grandson, who was born at a young age, lacked family care and became a troublemaker.
Old Mrs. Xia was in great pain. She believed that the enemies must not have been kind to her daughter. Under such contrast and torture, how could she see her "helpless" mother being happy?
It was at this time that Old Lady Xia's twisted and split soul attracted a demon roaming around the country of Xia, who took advantage of the opportunity to invade.
Generally speaking, the gods and ghosts in each place appear in different forms due to different believers.
Because there are also a group of Christians like Old Lady Xia, as well as people of other religions, in the territory of Xia State, some non-native cultural and non-natural objects have also formed on this land.
The devil that appeared next to Old Mrs. Xia was such a being.
In Western classics, the devil is a symbol that tempts humans to sell their souls and fall into depravity.
They hate Jesus and slander God.
The ultimate goal of every devil is to cause devout Christians to defect and fall and to gain their souls.
What’s even more different from the Xia country ghosts is that these Western devils prefer to attack the heart.
It knows that Mrs. Xia’s most vulnerable weakness is actually her being a “helpless mother in the world.”
When the devil first controlled the mother of "Helpless in the World" and made her go crazy, it used that face to express many of the thoughts hidden in Old Lady Xia's heart:
"You old woman, why are you pretending? Admit it, you just can't stand seeing this woman having a good life! You hate her, and you want her to suffer for the rest of her life."
'What a hypocritical bitch, stop making meaningless prayers, God will not forgive your sins...'
'You destroyed your adopted daughter's family, and you were afraid that her resemblance to her biological father's portrait would cause trouble for your own daughter, so you kept your adopted daughter under control and locked her up everywhere.
You are just as vicious and selfish as the whistleblower back then.'
The devil's whispers and accusations made Old Mrs. Xia extremely devastated.
She was unwilling to admit her own shortcomings and could not believe that the appearance of the devil was due to her sins, so the "helpless" mother could only go crazy.
Crazy talk is fake and should not be taken seriously.
As long as the adopted daughter's mental illness is cured, she will no longer talk nonsense.
Old Mrs. Xia has been taking care of her "helpless" mother for ten years, as if this can prove that she is not the perpetrator;
Whenever she was insulted and tempted by the demon she was possessed by, she would close her eyes and silently pray to God.
To some extent, Gu Zhisang still admired her very much.
Because all the "helpless in the world" mother suffered was physical pain, and she was unconscious and sleeping a lot of the time.
But although Old Mrs. Xia was unwilling to acknowledge the existence of the devil, she actually lived with him for more than ten years.
It's really hard to tell who is being tortured.
Gu Zhisang said coldly: "You hate your grandfather 'The World is Helpless' the most, and feel that he harmed you and your wife for his own selfish interests. But why don't you dare to admit that you made a deal with the evil spirit for your own selfish desires when it comes to you?"
When the person seeking help and Mrs. Xia's grandson were facing the college entrance examination at the same time, Mrs. Xia, who had been paying attention to her grandson, knew that the child was as rebellious and had poor grades as his mother.
His future fate is likely to be to go abroad to gain experience and come back with nothing.
Old Mrs. Xia was anxious and nervous, and at this moment the devil that had entered her adopted daughter's body came out again.
It told Old Lady Xia that it could help her grandson, but there was a price to pay.
The result is obvious. Old Mrs. Xia agreed to this soul-selling deal.
Gu Zhisang: "Isn't it enough to exchange the education of the person seeking help and take away his hard work in the first half of his life to appease your anger? Do you want to ruin his second half of life as well? If it's still not enough, do the sons and grandsons of the person seeking help have to pay back the debt as well?"
"You know very well that the pain of your adopted daughter is all caused by you. Is it because of hatred or selfish desire, Old Lady Xia? Can you figure it out?"
Old Mrs. Xia, who was holding onto the door frame, felt her legs go weak from being asked so many bland questions.
Words have no power, but her guilty conscience broke down her defenses.
She opened her mouth and tried to defend herself.
But the mother who was a little more awake behind him suddenly made a noise.
She subconsciously looked back and saw that her adopted daughter's thin face and sunken eyes had regained some clarity, with tears in them.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Xia knew that nothing she said would help.
[Alas, at first I sympathized with her, and I didn’t think there was anything wrong with her wanting revenge.
Now it seems that she might as well have smothered her "helpless" mother and grandmother to death decades ago! Then she could still stand up straight with a clear conscience, but now she herself has exchanged the education of the person seeking help for her grandson because of her own selfish desires... Human hearts really cannot stand the test. 】
[This is the irony of 'the dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon'. ]
[Changing the child is fine, but changing the luck is too much, right?
This behavior is essentially selfish, it is all about harming others to benefit oneself, just like the grandparents who harmed their family! The reason why Old Lady Xia refused to admit the existence of the devil and insisted that the mother who asked for help was talking nonsense was because it would be more painful for her to admit that she was not a perfect victim than to kill her. 】
[Not cruel enough, and not kind enough either.]
In the end, Mrs. Xia is just an ordinary and entangled person. She has some pitiful aspects, but she can't be a selfless saint, not to mention that she was bewitched by the devil. No matter what you say, I won't attack her, because I feel that I can't handle these things well. 】
【……】
Gu Zhisang fiddled with the Tongbao coin on his fingertips, lowered his eyes and said:
"In fact, the severity of the sins that affect future generations varies. If a future generation enjoys the wealth and fortune accumulated by the sins of their ancestors, then they will naturally be tainted with more sins.
But the mother of the person asking for help was born into a poor family and suffered a lot, which is enough, and her son is not guilty at all. "
"If you could treat her well, Old Lady Xia, and not interfere with her marital happiness, and not exchange the education of the person seeking help for your love of your own daughter and grandson, your two daughters would actually have good luck in the future."
Gu Zhisang sighed and felt it was a pity.
A person's destiny is constantly changing. A small decision may split his life into several different possibilities.
What's more, it's just the opposite of life.
Judging from the fate lines of these two women, they have completely different personalities.
The mother of the person seeking help is more introverted and gentle, while Mrs. Xia's daughter is born extroverted and stubborn.
If Old Lady Xia had not replaced her child, according to her original character and fate, her rather rebellious biological daughter would have been able to control her stubbornness under her strict teaching, and use her intelligence to make a career in her studies, instead of being spoiled by her.
The biological daughter will most likely marry the "helpless" father. Although this man is a bit indecisive, he is gentle enough to tolerate the various bad tempers of his biological daughter.
This can be considered as compensation given by heaven to innocent people.
But after Old Lady Xia replaced the children, the fate and life of the two children were changed.
Her own daughter's temper was beyond her control and she neglected her studies because of her grandparents' doting family.
Apart from this, the husbands of their biological daughters and adopted daughters after marriage cannot be considered their true partners.
The former's current husband has the same strong character and hot temper as her. The two often quarreled over trivial matters and divorced early.
The latter's husband, who is also the father of "Helpless in the World", is a bit weak in character and easily influenced by others. He cannot protect his wife and did not firmly protect her under the oppression of the two elders.
Gu Zhisang lowered his eyes and said, "It would be fine if it was just like this, but you interfered with the lives of your two grandchildren because of your selfish desires, which once again disrupted their fate and changed the lives of two families."
From her deduction, it can be seen that Mrs. Xia’s grandson has a certain talent for design.
If he had continued to move forward according to his fate before the bifurcation, the failure in the college entrance examination would have allowed him to go abroad to get in touch with design, allowing him to discover the field he truly liked and was good at.
He would develop and explore overseas, and ten years later successfully founded a fashion brand that belonged to the Xia people and to himself, and he was also doing very well.
However, "The World Is Helpless" will successfully enter top universities, continue their studies, and become a well-known figure in the industry at a young age.
But when Old Lady Xia changed their fates again, there was a new reshuffle and shock.
His grandson, who had been lazy in high school, had never experienced any setbacks or suffered hardship abroad. The bad habits in his bones were never corrected in his entire life, but instead contributed to his self-confidence and arrogance.
He felt that he was extremely smart and could get into a good school without studying, so he followed his family's arrangement and enrolled in a finance major, but found that he was not good at it and did not like it at all.
After 4 years of fooling around and barely graduating, he successfully entered a company with his high degree, but it was like a dilapidated building without a solid foundation, and he found it extremely difficult.
The person seeking help is 'helpless in this world' and is subject to many restrictions because of his first degree from an ordinary second-tier university.
After Gu Zhisang finished speaking, he had already used a charcoal pencil to draw tree-like branches on the straw paper on the table, representing the countless possibilities for two families and two children.
She put down her pen, looked up, and said seriously:
"Mrs. Xia, you've become too greedy. You want everything and you've screwed everyone over."
"You think you are doing this for your grandson's own good, but in reality you are only making him more arrogant and overconfident, until he is killed in the end!"
"No...it's impossible, you are exaggerating!" Old Mrs. Xia kept shaking her head, her face pale.
How could things turn out like this.
How could her grandson become worse and worse and possibly be killed by herself?
Gu Zhisang said calmly, "From the twelve zodiac signs of your adopted daughter's face, her biological parents are both in poor health. They have been on medication for many years and are in great pain. It's not like you think that they committed a sin but did not receive retribution."
"It's too late to talk about this now. This interaction can end here." She said to 'Shijian Wunai': "I will help you find a fellow master to remove the demon in your mother. Someone will contact you after the broadcast. As for the grudge between your two families, you can solve it yourselves."
'There is nothing helpless in this world' Sitting by the bed, holding my mother's hand, holding up my cell phone with a grateful look on my face.
"Master Gu, thank you so much. You saved me and my mother! If my mother is lucky enough to be safe and sound and regains her lucidity after everything is resolved, I will definitely ask her to come to the live broadcast room to thank you!"
When she said "There is nothing helpless in this world", Mrs. Xia finally came to her senses from her collapse and loss of consciousness.
She pounced forward suddenly, grabbed the young man's arm tightly, and was about to throw him down.
'Shijian Wushu' was horrified, "What are you doing? Hurry up and get up!"
Old Mrs. Xia cried out her real name, "The World Is Helpless," "I know I was wrong, and I am sorry for you and your mother, but you should see how hard our lives were in the first half of our lives, and how much suffering we went through, so please be considerate of us...don't bother that child."
"He really didn't participate! Neither of them knew of my existence. I did this on my own initiative..."
'The Helpless Man in the World' clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I'm calling you grandma for the last time because I sympathize with your past with grandpa, and I can understand your hatred. If it were me back then, I would hate it too!"
"I won't go to recognize my relatives, because I am not ashamed of what my biological grandparents did. I don't care about a good family background!"
"But what you did to my mother, you made her like this...I will never forgive you!"
Amid the old lady's waiting, 'The World Is Helpless' finally ended the live broadcast.
Netizens sighed and lamented that Mrs. Xia was ultimately blinded by greed and became the perpetrator she hated.
Although "The World Helpless" himself promised not to investigate his own background, the large number of viewers watching the show soon dug out Mrs. Xia's grandson, daughter and his grandfather's family.
The grandson's abilities in the company were not outstanding to begin with, and he relied entirely on his good education and background. Once it was revealed that all these were false, he was abused and criticized by many netizens, who called him a thief and unworthy of his position.
He himself was also very frustrated.
When he woke up, he found out that he had done nothing wrong, yet he became a pariah on the Internet for faking his academic qualifications and career. Even some of his immature remarks from ten years ago were dug out and criticized.
He published many posts online, claiming that he had never known any Old Lady Xia and was confused by the old lady's behavior of changing her fortune.
He thanked the old lady for her kindness, but in reality, she only brought him endless ridicule, pain and trouble, leading to his social death.
He would rather have failed the college examination entrance.
Also responding was the grandfather who was "helpless in this world".
The old man is already very ill.
He had cirrhosis of the liver and fluid in his abdomen, and his speech was a little slurred.
After the incident broke out, he and his "helpless" grandmother recorded an apology video, which was filled with a variety of insults and curses.
In short, the follow-up of this bride exchange was on the hot search for half a week.
It is said that the members of the spirit team in charge of the exorcism said that the Western demon in the body of "The World Helpless"'s mother was not very strong, and the exorcism was very successful. If she rests well in the future, her body can at least recover.
Mrs. Xia, who had lost her adopted daughter and was also not accepted by her biological daughter and grandson, is said to have tried to commit suicide in the house but was discovered and rescued in time by her neighbors.
This tragedy began with selfishness and ended with selfishness, ruining the lives of three generations of two families.
Everything else happened later. After the live broadcast of "The World is Helpless" ended, it was almost noon.
Gu Zhisang glanced at his phone, looked at the camera and said:
"Okay, this episode of live interaction ends here."
After three requests for help, she scored very high points each time because she completed the request excellently. Currently, the score bar in the lower right corner has reached 292.1 points!
The audience in the live broadcast room were reluctant to leave.
After the screen went completely black and the live broadcast room was closed, everyone left and turned their attention to the live broadcast room of the afternoon team competition.
Just wait for the group show to start and then rush in.
The author has something to say:
Guo Mei was too busy at the beginning of the school (withered). Today I was asked to do nucleic acid test for the whole school, and the department also had a small meeting. We agreed to make up for the 2k words short of the daily target later!
