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 his. 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.
可事实上女儿并没有过得像她想的那样好。
因为性格叛逆又是富二代，女儿高中的时候就考不上大学了，只能出国去野鸡大学镀层金。
结婚生子之后因为和丈夫性格对冲，夫妻关系不和谐，生出的孙子也是小小年纪便缺失家庭的关怀、变成了一个混世魔王。
夏老太太非常痛苦，她认为一定是那对仇人没有对自己的女儿好，在这种对比和折磨下，她又怎么能见得‘世间无奈’的母亲幸福呢？
也就是在这个时候，夏老太太扭曲分裂的灵魂，引来了一只游**在夏国境内的魔鬼，被其趁虚而入。
总的来说每个地方的神鬼都因为信奉者不同，而显化出不同的形象。
因夏国境内也有一批像夏老太太一样信奉基督教的教徒，以及其他宗教的人，因此在这片土地上也形成了一些非本土文化的非自然物。
出现在夏老太太身边的这个魔鬼，就是这样的一个存在。
魔鬼在西方的典籍中，是引诱人类出卖灵魂、坠入堕落的象征。
它们痛恨耶稣、诋毁上帝。
能够让信奉虔诚的基督教徒叛离堕落、并获得他们的灵魂，是每一个魔鬼的最终目的。
和夏国鬼更有所不同的是，这些西方魔鬼更喜欢攻心。
它知道夏老太太最脆弱的弱点，实际上就是“世间无奈‘的母亲。
当魔鬼第一次控制着‘世间无奈’的母亲发狂时，借用着那张脸，它说出了许多隐藏在夏老太太内心的想法：
'死老太婆你装什么装，承认吧你就是见不得这个女人过得好！你恨她，你想让她一辈子痛不欲生。’
'真是个虚伪的贱人，不要再做无意义的祷告了，上帝不会宽恕你的罪行……’
'你弄垮了养女的家庭，怕她和生父肖像的外貌给你自己女儿惹来麻烦，就处处管着锁着养女。
你简直和当年那个举报者一样的狠毒、自私自利。’
魔鬼的低语和指责让夏老太太无比崩溃。
她不愿意承认自己的不堪，不敢相信魔鬼的出现都是因为自己的罪孽，所以‘世间无奈’的母亲只能是疯了。
疯话都是假的，是不能当真的。
只要把养女的精神病治好了，她就不会再说胡话了。
夏老太太十年如一日地照顾‘世间无奈’的母亲，仿佛这样就能证明自己不是加害者；
每每被其附身的恶魔辱骂、引诱时，她就闭着眼睛默念上帝。
从某种程度上来说，顾之桑还是很佩服她的。
因为‘世间无奈’的母亲所遭受的一切都是身体上的痛苦，很多时候她都在无意识地昏睡。
但夏老太太明明不愿意承认魔鬼的存在，却实实在在和对方相处了十多年。
到底是谁在受折磨倒也真的分不清了。
顾之桑冷声说道：“你最痛恨‘世间无奈’的祖父，觉得他为了一己私利害了你们夫妻，可为何到你自己的时候，你就不敢承认自己为了私欲和邪祟做了交易呢？”
在求助人和夏老太的亲孙子同时面临高考时，一直在关注亲孙的夏老太知道，这个孩子和他母亲一样叛逆、成绩不好。
他未来的命运很可能也是出国镀金，回来一事无成。
夏老太太焦虑、紧张，就在这时钻进养女身体里的魔鬼再次出来。
它告诉夏老太自己可以帮助她的亲孙，但这是有代价的。
结果显而易见，夏老太太同意了这场出卖灵魂的交易。
顾之桑：“换了求助人的学历、拿走他前半生的努力还不够平息你的怒火吗？还要他后半生也被毁掉吗？如果还不够，是不是求助人的儿子孙子也要来还债？”
“你很清楚养女身上的痛苦都因你而起，到底是因为恨、还是因为私欲，夏老太你还算得清么。”
扶着门框的夏老太太，被她一声声平淡的诘问逼到腿肚子发软。
语言是没有力量的，可她的心虚和愧疚，击垮了自己的防线。
她张了张口，还想为自己狡辩。
可身后稍微清醒些的‘世间无奈’母亲忽然发出了动静。
她下意识回头看去，看到养女消瘦的面孔上、那双凹陷的眼睛恢复了些清明，眼中含着泪水。
这一刻夏老太太知道，再说什么都无济于事了。
【唉，最开始我是同情她的，也并不觉得她想要复仇有什么问题。
现在看来她真不如几十年前直接把‘世间无奈’的妈妈和外婆直接捂死！那她还能理直气壮挺直腰杆，结果现在她自己也因为私欲，把求助人的学历换给了孙子……人心真的经不起考验。】
【这就是‘屠龙者终成恶龙’了，太讽刺了。】
【换孩子也就罢了，换运过分了吧？
这个行为的行为本质上就带了私心，都是害别人有利自己，和当年害他们一家子的‘世间无奈’的祖父母没什么两样！之所以夏老太死活不承认魔鬼存在、坚持求助人的母亲是在说疯话，就是因为让她承认自己不是完美受害者，恐怕比杀了她还让她难受吧。】
【狠辣不够，善良又不多。
说到底夏老太太就是最平凡而纠结的普通人罢了，有可怜的地方，但是也成不了无私的圣人，更何况她还被魔鬼**了。无论你们怎么说我不讨伐她，因为我感觉自己面对这些事情时，也处理不好。】
【……】
顾之桑拨弄着指尖的‘通宝’钱币，垂眸说道：
“其实罪责累及后代也是分轻重的，如果后代享受了前人造孽而积累的财富、运势，那么他沾染的孽力自然也就多一些；
但像求助人的母亲生来便被换到贫家，吃尽苦楚，已经还够了，她的儿子也就更谈不上有罪。”
“如果夏老太你能好好对她，不要干预她的婚姻幸福、不要因为疼爱自己的亲女儿和孙子，而把求助人的学历换走，其实你两个女儿的后运都还不错。”
顾之桑长叹一声，只觉得可惜。
人的命运是无时无刻不在变化的，可能一个小小的决定，就会让人生分裂出数个不同的可能性；
更何况是直接把人生对掉了。
从这两个女人的命格线来看，她们是完全不同的性格。
求助人母亲更内敛温和，而夏老太的女儿生来外向倔强。
若是夏老太当年没有换孩子，按照原先的性格和命运，较为叛逆的亲生女儿能够在她严厉的教导下控制顽劣之心，发挥自己的聪明劲儿在学业上做出一番事业，而不是被溺爱惯坏了。
亲生女儿大概率会和‘世间无奈’的父亲结婚，虽然这个男人有些优柔寡断，但他足够温柔，可以包容亲生女儿的各种坏脾气。
这也算是天道给予无辜之人的补偿。
但夏老太太换掉孩子后，两个孩子的气运和人生也就对掉了。
亲生女儿的性子在‘世间无奈’外祖家那种溺爱孩子的家庭，反而收不住性子，荒废了学业。
除此之外亲生女儿和养女婚后的丈夫，也都不能算她们的正缘。
前者现在的丈夫和她一样性格刚强、脾气火爆，两人因为一点小事就经常吵架，早早离婚了。
后者的丈夫——也就是‘世间无奈’的父亲，性格有些软弱耳根子软，护不住自己的妻子，在两家长辈的压迫下也没有坚定地保护妻子。
顾之桑敛眸说道：“只是这样的话其实也还好，但你又因为私欲插手了两个孙子的人生，便再一次打乱了命盘，改变了两个家庭的人生。”
通过她推演的结果可知，夏老太太的孙子是有一定的设计天赋的。
若是他按照分叉前的命格继续向前，高考的失利会让他出国接触设计，让他发现自己真正喜欢、擅长的领域。
他会在国外发展开拓，十年后成功创立了属于夏国人、属于他自己的潮流品牌，反而也过得风生水起。
而‘世间无奈’会顺利进入顶尖学府、不断深造，年纪轻轻成为行业中的知名大牛。
可当夏老太太再一次交换他们的命运，便是新一次的洗牌和冲击。
高中时就吊儿郎当的亲孙子没有经历过打击、没有出国吃过苦，骨子里的那些坏毛病一辈子都没改掉，反而还助长了他的自信和盛气凌人。
他觉得自己绝顶聪明、没学过习都能考上好学校，听从家里的安排报了个金融专业，却发现自己根本不擅长、也不喜欢。
浑浑噩噩玩了4年勉强毕业，他拿着手里的高学历成功进入公司，却就像没有打好基础的危楼，格外吃力。
求助人‘世间无奈’也因为普通二本的第一学历，受限颇多。
顾之桑讲完这些，已经用炭笔在桌面铺着的草纸上画出了树杈一样的分支，代表了两个家庭、两个孩子的无数可能。
她放下笔抬起头来，认真说道：
“夏老太你变得太贪心了，你什么都想要，都搞砸了所有人。”
"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 wailing, '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 entrance examination.
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!
