At the beginning of the filming of the third group of help seekers, a small incident occurred.
The live broadcast program, which was originally scheduled to start at 6:50 pm, was stuck when the person seeking help came on stage.
The number of viewers entering the live broadcast room from Big Eyes and various video platforms is still increasing. As a result, as soon as the live broadcast link was clicked, the picture that popped up was a mother and son who were suspected to be the ones seeking help, arguing in front of the camera.
[What's going on? Why hasn't it started yet? ]
[Oh, are the third group of people seeking help a mother and son? The mother is very elegant, and the brother is also handsome, but he seems depressed.]
[Why does it feel like this son is so impatient? His attitude towards his elders is so bad...]
[I came here because of Big Eyes. This is my first time watching a metaphysics livestream. Friends, is it scary? Will ghosts pop out? ]
The mother of the two looked to be in her forties, wearing a beige sweater and a long skirt. She was saying something to the boy beside her with a pleading look on her face and in embarrassment.
The young man had slightly long hair, was tall and thin, and had a slightly hunched back.
From the high-definition live camera, we can see that his facial features are quite delicate, his skin is a pale color that comes from not seeing the sun for many years, and there is a circle of light pigmentation around his eyes.
At this moment, he didn't care at all that this was in front of the camera, and said sharply: "Are you annoying?!"
The mother whispered, "I know I didn't think this through, but, but it happened in front of the camera..."
"I don't care if they have a camera or not, just don't take pictures of me!"
The host Liu Da stood aside with a microphone in hand, looking embarrassed, and said, "There is a small problem. Please wait patiently."
About ten minutes later, the deadlocked mother and son finally reached a consensus.
The staff of the program team came up and took the gloomy boy away from the camera, while the mother forced a smile and shook hands with Liu: "Sorry, I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time."
"It's okay Ms. Hao, let's get started now."
Liu faced the live camera and read the script: "Dear viewers, the third group of help-seekers is a mother and son who came to X City specifically to participate in our program and want to seek help. The son of Ms. Hao next to me is named Xiaoheng. His situation is a bit special, and he has also encountered a series of strange things in his life."
"The program team has prepared a pilot video for everyone in advance. Let's learn a little about their situation first."
Ms. Hao appears at the beginning of the video.
She should be sitting in her own home, holding a rather old photo in her hand, with a sad look on her face;
The photo shows a little boy with a round head and a round face, who looks about five or six years old.
The background voice said: "The lady in the video is named Hao. The photo she is holding is of her son Xiaoheng, taken fifteen years ago. At that time, Xiaoheng was smart and active, no different from an ordinary child. However, something happened that completely changed Xiaoheng's personality and life."
"It turned out that when she was young, Ms. Hao had a bad marriage. Her ex-husband liked to drink. When he was drunk, he became a different person and often beat and scolded her and Xiaoheng. This continued situation until Xiaoheng was six years old. Ms. Hao finally divorced her ex-husband, but it was too late."
"She found that the cheerful and lively Xiao Heng became silent and autistic, began to avoid contact with the outside world and even refused to go to kindergarten, but sometimes his temperament changed drastically and he became very well-behaved, just like two different people; and he forgot what he did at night the next day, saying that he had never done it... Such symptoms became more and more frequent. Ms. Hao took Xiao Heng to the hospital for observation and diagnosis, and found out that his father's violent behavior had hurt the child's young heart."
"He was diagnosed with mild autism and childhood depression. In addition, he also developed a very serious mental illness - schizotypal personality disorder. It is also known as 'split personality'."
"Xiao Heng has a dual personality."
The video screen changed, and Ms. Hao described her son's condition.
She said in the trailer: "Since those things happened, Xiaoheng has become introverted, and he especially doesn't like to interact with adult men. His middle school teacher was a man with the same physique and appearance as his biological father, so that stage was the period when he hated studying the most."
'But the other child - his split second personality, is a very gentle and polite girl, like an adult big sister, who is very protective of Xiaoheng. When Xiaoheng is very emotional outside, such as being wronged or bullied, she will come out and solve those problems in an orderly manner.'
'This information was obtained by the psychologist after hypnotizing Xiaoheng, because the child was unwilling to communicate these things with us. The doctor told me that Xiaoheng suffered severe psychological trauma after being subjected to violence, and he longed for a mature and gentle adult to appear to protect him and resist his father's violence for him who was young and powerless. Because this emotion and desire were too strong, he spontaneously split off such a sister who could protect him...'
At this point, Ms. Hao's voice was choked up:
"I am an incompetent mother and too cowardly. If I had firmly protected my child and divorced his biological father early on, Xiaoheng would not have been in so much pain that he had to split into a second personality to protect himself... I am sorry for him."
In the background, the interviewer was trying to calm her down: "Ms. Hao, don't blame yourself too much. You are also a victim."
'From your description, you don't seem to think that the emergence of this second personality is a threat? So what is your purpose in coming to our "Spiritual Matters" program this time? You also know that we are a metaphysical variety show, and we mainly deal with supernatural and strange events.'
Ms. Hao said: "That's right. When I first found out that he had this disease, I was still very worried, but at that time Xiaoheng's autism and depression were quite serious, and the doctor did not recommend that I use overly drastic medical interventions. Moreover, the second personality was tested to be a relatively mild character, so I accepted conservative treatment."
'In fact, in the first few years, especially before Xiaoheng went to college, his depression was even alleviated with the help of his second personality, and he had some friends around him. Except for the occasional changes in his personality, which obviously became unlike him, everything else was moving in a good direction. Sometimes I am even a little grateful to that child...'
'But ever since he left for college, things have started to get weird and I've been getting more and more scared.'
The staff member asked: 'Why do you say that? '
Ms. Hao clenched her hands nervously and said, "I think that girl wants to become a human being, not to replace Xiaoheng's body, she wants to come out of Xiaoheng's body and become a brand new person!"
The pilot ends here.
【? ? I didn't expect this development. 】
[Generally speaking, multiple personalities are essentially the other side of the same person, just a little extreme. This boy had an unfortunate childhood and hated adult men like his father, so it is understandable that he split off a big sister to protect him, but I have only heard that different personalities will hurt the main personality and fight for control of the body. What does it mean to become a completely new person? ? ]
[Haha, this episode is quite interesting. The people who asked for help before all looked sick, but they were actually supernatural cases. I would like to make a bold guess that maybe Xiao Heng didn't have a 'split personality' at all, and it was a ghost who was protecting him from the beginning to the end?]
[Is it a fight between personalities over the body? Why don't you go see a doctor? ]
[Upstairs, can you wear glasses and ears when watching the show? I said it's not a body snatching (wipes sweat) I'm curious, isn't split personality a mental illness? Why go to see a psychiatrist? ]
[Schizotypal personality disorder is a type of 'schizophrenia', which is indeed a mental illness. The patient's mental condition is generally not a big problem, but more personal cognition is biased, and sometimes the personality changes drastically, accompanied by symptoms such as amnesia...]
【Thanks to the popular science emperor in the live broadcast room! 】
【……】
At this time, Liu's voice finally rang out:
"After Ms. Hao suspected that her son's condition was strange, she took him to the hospital to see a doctor, but Xiaoheng's psychiatrist said that this was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Moreover, Xiaoheng's behavior was somewhat irrational, his temperament became more irritable and depressed, and his physical condition was getting worse. Rather than saying that his condition was getting worse, the doctor felt that he was more like being brainwashed by some bad organizations and indoctrinated with some unhealthy ideas."
Seeing that medical treatment was not an option, Ms. Hao thought of someone asking to consult a psychic outside, but no one could see anything.
Moreover, since the strange incident happened, his son Xiaoheng has become particularly resistant to seeing doctors and mediums.
Once he even yelled at me directly, saying in an aggressive tone: "Mom, do you think I'm crazy?"
That look made Ms. Hao feel uneasy.
She felt that her son had changed, even his second personality had changed.
In addition to a series of creepy things that happened to Xiaoheng at school, his class teacher contacted Ms. Hao several times, saying that some of Xiaoheng's behaviors had affected other students in the dormitory.
Others told the class teacher that Xiaoheng's personality changes drastically and he would make some strange things in the dormitory.
Ms. Hao had no choice but to arrange for her son to take a leave of absence from school.
After seeing the popularity of the "Spiritual Affairs" program and how it helped many families solve their problems, she submitted a letter for help and signed up.
Ms. Hao knew that if she told her son that he was here to participate in the program to see a doctor, he would definitely not come.
She told her son that they came to City X for tourism and relaxation. The two of them spent the day wandering around the city's scenic spots, and she tricked him into going to the filming location after dinner.
Xiao Heng, who suddenly realized that he had been cheated, became furious. He stated in front of the camera that he was not sick and did not want to participate in any show. This was the dispute that the audience in the live broadcast room saw at the beginning.
After knowing the ins and outs of the quarrel, many viewers said they could understand Xiaoheng's anger.
Liu continued: "After Ms. Hao communicated with Xiaoheng, he still didn't want to show up on the field, but he agreed to wait in the waiting room and was willing to let the players contact him and feel his energy."
"Ms. Hao also brought some of Xiaoheng's personal belongings to the scene. What strange things happened to Xiaoheng? Why did his classmates avoid him? Is his second personality a disease or is there another hidden story? I hope our contestants can figure it out."
"Now, let's welcome the first contestant: No. 8 Xu Fu."
[The production team is no longer going to cover it up, right? Hhh It’s obvious that they want Xu Fu to come up and quickly go through the process. ]
[You know what? This Xu Fu is not a reliable medium, but he is quite honest in selling goods. I just went to his online store and took a look. The talisman tags he sells are actually produced in cooperation with several Taoist temples. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is definitely effective. Isn't he more conscientious than many black-hearted scammers out there? ]
【Brother Xu Fu, stop being a medium and just sell goods honestly (dog head). This is not much more promising than being a medium. 】
After Xu Fu came on stage, he looked a little surprised and delighted. He said self-deprecatingly: "I had already made plans to leave and was looking for a train ticket home overnight, but I didn't expect that I would have another chance to show my face."
He had several yellow talismans hanging around his neck and beads in his hands. It was obvious that he was letting himself go and was trying to attract traffic to his products.
After seeing Ms. Hao, Xu Fu did not notice anything unusual in her.
He scratched his head awkwardly and asked directly, "Isn't this the person who asked for help today? Is there anyone else? Tell me directly, host. I only have a pair of eyes to see something, and I really can't calculate these nonsense things."
Li Chenghe, who was watching the monitor in the studio, turned his head and said to the assistant director, "This Xu Fu is quite good at pleasing others."
"Indeed, his reputation has improved a lot now. He is more down-to-earth than other contestants."
After Liu told Xu Fu that there was someone else he really needed to see, he asked directly to go to the waiting room.
When he stepped into the room and saw the pale-skinned young man sitting on the sofa for the first time, he felt that the man's facial features were a little too feminine.
She has a gloomy temperament and her lips are as red as blood.
At first glance, she looks like a girl with short hair.
After a distraction, Xu Fu looked again. Xiao Heng had a straight nose and pursed lips. He was clearly a young man with a decadent temperament. How could there be any woman in him?
Did I see it wrong?
Xu Fu doubted this, but the impression he got from the first glance was so deep that he felt he must have seen something.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think this boy has encountered a ghost, or he has been possessed."
Liu asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Xu Fu said: "When I saw him, I felt that he looked like a woman, but that feeling only lasted for a moment... You all know my level, so just listen and believe it or not. Anyway, there will be more powerful contestants later."
"I was born with the ability to see ghosts. When I was a child, I could often see things and would be shocked. One time, my family sent me to a famous local witch to cure my 'illness'. It is said that the witch was a 'ghost walker'. When she was young, she revealed too many secrets and had no luck with children. As a result, both of her children died at a young age, and she also lost one eye."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and began to recall the memories of that time.
"Originally she shouldn't have done this, but as she was a lonely old woman with no one to take care of her, she had to continue to work as a fortune teller to make money. It is said that children who died young have strong resentment and their methods are even more powerful. When she was 'walking in the underworld', she would invite her own son and daughter to possess her body and tell fortunes for others."
"The one who attacked me that time was a fierce ghost. I saw with my own eyes that witch passed away. When I opened my eyes again, she was still the same person, and her facial features hadn't changed. But I just felt that her face looked like a fat boy, and her voice was also that of a little boy!"
"Now that I think about it, I had the same feeling as I did when I was with Ms. Hao's son just now. It was as if I saw someone else, so I said I suspected he was possessed."
Liu asked, "You only saw it for a moment? It's gone now?"
Xu Fu carefully examined Xiao Heng's face and said earnestly, "I really only saw it once."
"So there is a possibility that I am wrong?"
"To be honest, this is possible." Xu Fu shrugged.
Liu said helplessly: "Okay, then thank you Xu Fu first. What do you think, Ms. Hao?"
Ms. Hao: "I kind of believe what this master said, because Xiaoheng does have an 'older sister' personality. Alas, now I can't tell whether it is a second personality or not."
[Oh my goodness, this guy is really showing off, it’s so funny, you guys can say whatever you want, anyway, I’m going to get my lunch box and leave, I won’t pretend anymore! ]
[What the hell is this? I can also say something so ambiguous. ]
[Xu Fu meant that Xiao Heng was possessed by a ghost instead of having split personality? Doesn't he have the ability to see ghosts? And he did see something when there were ghosts in so many episodes. I actually believe him a little.]
【This time he is completely off duty. 】
After Xu Fu left, the next player to come on stage was Zou Wuchang Xi Haihong.
She was not good at fortune-telling, so she chose to go directly to see Xiaoheng.
When she saw Xiao Heng for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"this……"
"What's wrong?" asked Liu.
Xi Haihong moved closer to Xiaoheng, and saw that his pale ears turned slightly red, and he avoided her gaze somewhat unnaturally.
"This boy's soul is so special. He only has half of his soul."
Liu/audience:? ! !
Xi Haihong explained: "Let me put it this way to see if you can understand. Everyone has a soul, and the soul naturally has mass and energy. I remember reading a report before that said a scientist found through an experiment that a person's body would instantly become 21 grams lighter after death. This is the weight of the soul, but someone later exposed this as a fake."
"What I want to say is that no matter whether souls are weightless or not, the power they contain is different. The reason why resentful ghosts can harm people is that their extreme emotions are very powerful, while the energy of souls that enjoy their old age and have no obsessions is less. But this boy's soul can be said to be the weakest soul energy I have ever seen in all my years as a soul catcher."
"In the past, I have sent away souls who committed suicide due to depression, souls who died of serious illness and had physical disabilities, and so on. Even their souls were more solid than this boy's. What's more, he has no illness, no disaster, and no disability. This is really incredible!"
Xi Haihong became more and more surprised as she spoke.
There is another situation in which the soul's energy will decrease, that is when the soul is damaged or part of it is torn off.
This is very common in the underworld.
Some big ghosts want to practice cultivation, so they devour small ghosts to increase their strength.
On the banks of the Sanzu River, there are often ghosts who have escaped death at the hands of the big ghost. Their souls have been torn in half, and they are so pitiful that they can't disperse.
But in Xi Haihong's spiritual eyes, Xiaoheng's soul was intact.
He is simply a weak soul with little power.
The soul is still in the body, and it is almost transparent, with a faint grayish-white tint.
Ms. Hao didn't understand what it meant to have only half a soul. She felt that this was not a good thing, so she asked hurriedly:
"Then, then what harm could this do? Was he harmed by something?"
"There are definitely harms. You will be more likely to get sick in this life. If you fail to make up for it before the next reincarnation, you will definitely be born with congenital deficiencies, either deformities or disabilities after your next rebirth," said Xi Haihong.
Ms. Hao's face turned pale. "His health has indeed been getting worse in the past two years..."
Xi Haihong continued: "As for whether it was someone who harmed him, I really don't know."
"His situation is very special. I don't know what kind of magic can make half of a person's soul disappear out of thin air. It's unlikely that he was harmed by a ghost. It's really bizarre..."
When she learned that Xiao Heng was diagnosed with 'split personality' and that some contestants suspected that the split personality was a ghost, she frowned.
After looking at him for a long time, Xi Haihong shook her head and said, "I don't see any ghost in him. As for the disease, I can't do anything about it."
Ms. Hao was a little disappointed, but she also expressed her gratitude to her.
Liu Da held up the microphone and said, "The next contestant is our No. 2 contestant Bai Ci!"
The author has something to say:
I wonder if there is any little angel who can guess where this story is going qwq
