Chapter 67 [1, 2 updates] The world is back on track. …
Almost everyone was shocked the moment she said this name.
I was stunned for a moment.
Ms. Tang and Butler Li were wondering at a loss who Xie Yunting was?
Huo Xihuai's expression gradually became solemn, and his eyes even gloomy.
Huo Yuyan didn't even have time to experience the ups and downs before he was shocked again.
ah?
Is Xie Yunting really the mastermind behind this?
Although he had guessed this possibility before and had already provided the guy with a motive for the crime, he still felt it was a bit sudden to learn the truth so unexpectedly.
Huo Yuyan raised his head and looked blankly at the "Shen Yuntang" upstairs.
After being ridiculed by Miss Shen, the fake seemed to be unable to speak, with a ridiculous look on his face and his hands holding the armrest shaking slightly.
What a mess.
This is ridiculous, how could this be possible.
Didn't Shen Zhizhe say that they were all kept in the dark and were manipulated? Didn't he say that he would take away the newly appeared Shen Yuntang and never let her come back?
Why did they decide on a code in advance? Did they realize something was wrong long ago?
It was a code so ridiculous that she couldn't believe it.
In the past, she would take care of Huo Yuyan's personal affairs and ask him to go home more often, but he would warn her not to meddle in other people's affairs.
How could Shen Yuntang be so presumptuous?
Why should Huo Yuyan tolerate her? They look so similar, and she is not as bad as him, so why should the newly appeared Shen Yuntang be indulged?
The original owner found it so absurd that she found it funny. She wanted to laugh, but just after Shen Yuntang touched the hairpin behind her ear, she suddenly stopped.
She felt as if she was out of control.
Faintly, it seemed as if someone was looking at the people below through his own eyes.
She seemed not to be a person, but a controlled conversation machine.
She felt a moment of loss of control, confusion and panic, and suddenly grabbed the railing.
Ms. Tang and Butler Li quickly moved away from her and pulled Huo Xihuai downstairs.
Now they are in a standoff.
Shen Yuntang opened up world access to Xie Yunting, which is what she called "connection".
His throat moved and he stared at the screen without blinking.
Huo Yuyan's gaze gradually became more concrete.
He seemed to notice it.
Someone is watching them behind that fake.
He suddenly realized something and gradually began to think of more things.
...Has this bastard been spying on him through this fake thing?
The thought made his hair stand on end.
Using human eyes as cameras is a perverted idea.
Isn’t he afraid of seeing some inappropriate scenes that need to be censored???
Or does he not consider this camera as a human being at all?
Shen Yuntang didn't hesitate. He waved and called everyone over. He stared at the humanoid camera and said calmly, "Let me briefly introduce the background. First of all, the world we are in is a parallel world to Xie Yunting's world. I was originally from that world, and Xie Yunting is the son of a deceased friend adopted by my biological father."
"In order to prevent me from having my own social connections and completely breaking away from him, he specially planned such a big scheme to plot against me."
She sighed, stared at the upstairs and continued, "He cares too much about the opinions of the real world and doesn't dare to make any moves over there, so he used some means to tamper with the settings of this parallel world and sent me in to experience the tribulation."
"I should have been divorced, retaliated against, and homeless, but when I was at my most miserable, he came to save me."
In silence.
"But it's a pity." Shen Yuntang smiled, "You have never defeated me once."
The listeners were completely and utterly stunned.
What the hell, what the hell? Is there such an outrageous plot? What?
This forbidden and immoral relationship is shocking enough, but there are actually people who would deliberately modify a world to satisfy their own selfish desires?
Are they still the ones that were modified?
Are they treated as characters?
The people present were in a state of long and unspeakable shock.
I don't know whether I should let my worldview be shattered by my own experience first, or let my worldview be shattered by this outrageous pervert.
Holy shit, they've adopted you for decades? Is this how you repay them?
Do you think your own desire for unrequited love is more important than the fate of everyone in the world?
Have you ever asked for their opinions? Don't you know they don't want to? You are the most affectionate and you are the most miserable? Aren't they miserable because they left their homes and went through disasters for no apparent reason? Aren't they miserable because they were forced to change their fate?
It's so ridiculous that it's shocking.
What kind of logic is this?
Why should you change the fate of others to satisfy you? Aren't they human beings?
Shen Zhizhe's throat was dry for a long time.
His whole body was trembling secretly, and every inch of his skin felt as cold as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
He stood opposite Shen Yuntang.
Perhaps this day should have been taken into consideration when the world was designed from the beginning.
Shen Yuntang is out of control.
Those who devour others will be devoured in return.
Huo Yuyan finally sorted out his thoughts and came back to his senses from the shock.
He looked up and murmured, "Your life was really not easy in the past."
Shen Yuntang nodded, "I think so too."
"This guy hides too deeply, so scary."
"Yeah, it's scary."
Shen Zhizhe's forehead was so irritated by their funny and humorous conversation that veins popped up.
After a long time, he was finally able to clench his hands, and through the original owner's body, he spoke slowly and hoarsely.
"Why do I always feel that they are real people?" Shen Zhizhe said slowly.
"Since they can be modified by me, they are no longer completely real. Our world is a higher dimension than that world. How can you be sure that they won't be modified again in the future—"
"Do you think there are many perverts like you in the world?" Shen Yuntang asked this question very sincerely.
Shen Zhizhe was silent.
After a while, he whispered, "Tangtang, you have to believe in human nature."
If anyone gets hold of this system, it is difficult to ensure that they will not indulge in their desires.
Who can resist the temptation of controlling the entire world?
People always have things they can't get, things they lack. If there is a chance to make the world work for you, when everything you have been seeking for years is right in front of you, how can you refuse?
He continued to persuade calmly, "Including Huo Yuyan beside you, if he could get this opportunity, would he not move?"
"If you hadn't come in time to modify it, he would have obeyed his inner thoughts and continued to cause destruction, even wanting to destroy the world."
His voice was calm: "Human nature is like this, don't blame me."
Shen Yuntang paused.
After a moment, she couldn't help but sneer, which made Shen Zhizhe suddenly change his expression.
"You don't know?" she said, looking up, "I haven't found a way to modify the character at all."
"He straightened himself out himself."
Shen Zhizhe paused, his expression gradually becoming one of disbelief.
…
Huo Yuyan was a little behind in keeping up with their progress, and only then did he react.
"You...you stole his skills?" he asked tentatively, a little confused.
Shen Yuntang nodded as a matter of course.
Huo Yuyan: "..."
Shen Yuntang's style is so bandit-like and arrogant.
But she succeeded every time in such a simple and crude way, which has to be said to be an alternative kind of success story.
As Huo Yuyan thought about it, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He started to overthink again.
If that world was her original world...
Then why did she come back after she went back? That was her original hometown.
Of course he wanted her to come back. He wanted her to stay here forever, and he wanted her to be in front of him every day, but that was not a reason for him to force her to stay in a place that did not belong to her.
Shen Yuntang could have just ignored these people.
She is not the culprit.
But she still managed it. She came back.
If she came back for a reason.
So would he be one of them?
…
Huo Yuyan was speechless for a moment.
——Luckily he turned himself around.
Fortunately, he realized something was wrong and he was not always controlled by that old dog.
Fortunately, that moment of sudden realization allowed Shen Yuntang to now confront Xie Yunting with confidence.
…
Miss Shen is a protective Miss Shen.
Now he became her short.
Huo Yuyan's confidence suddenly soared to a high point, and he was filled with passion.
He has someone backing him up.
——"Yes, sorry, I just accidentally broke free." Huo Yuyan was polite but arrogant, and interrupted, "Although I say empathy, I hope some perverts won't use this word in this kind of place."
He looked in the direction of Xie Yunting and continued to ask: "Is this human nature?"
"Yeah, that's human nature." He seemed to agree.
Huo Yuyan paused, his expression suddenly fell, and he said coldly: "But just because I have humanity, I should also have human kindness and bottom line."
"Isn't it? You didn't?"
The entire Huo residence fell silent.
After a long while, Shen Yuntang spoke again, as if he was trying to suppress a laugh.
"No," she said softly, "he didn't."
She didn't need to imagine Shen Zhizhe's reaction over there, she knew that he must have remained silent for a long time at this moment, staring at the screen motionlessly, pulling his tendons and tightening his jaw with all his strength to hide the gloom in his body.
Even when he is alone, he will not forget to maintain his image.
After a long while, he whispered, "Aren't you coming back, Tangtang?"
Shen Yuntang raised his eyebrows: "Then why would I come here?"
It was obvious that Shen Zhizhe was about to be torn apart by some emotion.
He took a deep breath and said, "What about Zhuo Mei?"
"You don't care about her anymore?"
Huo Yuyan was stunned for a moment: "Fuck, what's wrong with your mother? He even kidnapped your mother to threaten you?!"
“…I guess so.”
Shen Zhizhe's meaning was very clear. If she didn't go back, Zhuo Mei might face some unimaginable things.
Shen Yuntang found it a bit ridiculous.
She didn't expect that Shen Zhizhe could be so evil as to go even further.
She looked solemnly in his direction.
"Shen Zhizhe." Shen Yuntang was undisguisedly disappointed. "How did you become like this?"
Shen Zhizhe seemed to smile at her question.
He lowered his eyes and said softly, "The ultimate character must have an ultimate cause. Tangtang, this is what I taught you."
He said this on the plane when he first met her as Xie Yunting.
He had been without a family since he was very young. When he was in the most embarrassing moment, Shen Yuntang pointed at him and asked him to play with her.
Therefore, he could go from being an orphan supported by Shen's father to being his adopted son.
His life of more than twenty years was filled with Shen Yuntang's name.
When they were little, she asked him to play only with her.
So is it wrong for him to want her to belong to him alone?
——"Do you know Huo Xihuai?"
Shen Yuntang's eyes were calm.
Huo Xihuai next to him was also caught off guard and was stunned for a moment, then raised his head.
"He's been through everything you've been through."
"So in your arrangement, he becomes the biggest mastermind in the whole book. You think he should take revenge on everyone without mercy, right?"
Shen Yuntang became calmer and calmer as she spoke, and even felt like laughing. She raised her head and looked at Shen Zhizhe, "But Huo Xihuai grew up in a normal way and is also a normal and good person."
"Everyone is getting better out of your control, so who are you to make decisions for them?"
Her voice gradually rose: "You can't even control your own life, what qualifications do you have to control the lives of others?"
"Are you worthy?"
In the silence, Huo Xihuai stared at her blankly, a little confused.
Miss Shen is... speaking up for him?
She said he grew up to be a good man.
He broke through the original barriers, deviated from the trajectory set for him by the creator, and became the current Huo Xihuai according to his own ideas.
His life was his own again.
Huo Xihuai suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
Almost a year had passed since he was reborn. Hu Mei and his stepbrother had no chance to pester him anymore. Miss Shen had changed, Wen Yanyan was already in trouble, and she had even participated in the competition she had missed in her previous life and won a gold medal.
His life was gradually getting back on track because of the arrival of Miss Shen.
Huo Xihuai once again felt Shen Yuntang's influence on the world.
She gradually brought the whole world to life.
Huo Xihuai's eyes were a little moist.
Shen Zhizhe was silent for a long time.
Shen Yuntang can always find his weak spot and hit his pain point.
In her eyes, he was not even as good as Huo Xihuai, the supporting role.
Shen Zhizhe closed his eyes, his tone still gentle.
"I have nothing to say." He said softly, "Come back, or let Zhuo Mei stay here forever."
The others' hearts clenched.
Although Ms. Tang didn't quite understand the situation, she looked at her worriedly.
Her daughter-in-law seemed to be facing a huge and terrible choice.
It is to give up yourself or sacrifice others.
What kind of cliché TV drama development is this? How can there be people in modern society who use such things to threaten others?
But she only told her what she knew about Shen Yuntang.
Shen Yuntang will go back.
She is pretentious, arrogant, squeamish and has a bad temper.
But every time she acted willfully, it always led to positive results. She forcefully asked Huo Xihuai to go to school, had a fight with someone at a parents' meeting, beat up Gu Lan's ex-husband in the parking lot, and unceremoniously asked Huo Yuyan to compensate for the booth.
But what is the final result? Huo Yuyan catches the traitor, Gu Lan escapes from marriage, and Huo Xihuai regains his life.
As she said, everyone is moving towards a better life.
Huo Yuyan's alarm suddenly rang loudly, and he grabbed her arm in panic, "Shen Yuntang, this——"
"It's okay." Shen Yuntang smiled.
Of course Shen Zhizhe couldn't have imagined that.
Zhuo Mei taught her how to make incense for so many years, just for using it today.
The bottle of perfume she gave her had a lot of snowflakes added in. The scent of this ingredient was almost the only thing that could be smelled in the whole bottle of perfume.
Shen Yuntang could smell it right away.
Snow lotus is usually given to people who are suffering.
It symbolizes resurrection, starting over, and regaining new life.
Every action of Zhuo Mei is meaningful, and she has proven it.
What does rebirth symbolize?
Thinking about it now, she already understood it very well.
Shen Yuntang said calmly: "You may have to meet your mother-in-law."
Huo Yuyan was stunned.
Shen Zhizhe frowned slightly, becoming a little confused.
Zhuo Mei was still left in the room outside by him and had not left. Shen Zhizhe felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of what she would do for a moment, and his heart sank.
Shen Yuntang turned back and said to him, "The ultimate character has an ultimate cause, right."
“But most of the characters in this world are not extreme.”
“Most of them are ordinary real people.”
"But no matter how ordinary it is, it's a remarkable thing to be alive in this world. You will never understand it, and I won't try to tell you anymore."
Shen Yuntang took off the hairpin behind her ear.
The principle is actually very simple.
She didn't even need to study how to modify the character, she just needed to know how to destroy this thing.
Since it has to attach itself to a physical object and cannot exist independently, why not just destroy its habitat?
Isn't it easy to break the situation with violence?
She looked at the original owner, and also looked at Shen Zhizhe through her eyes.
She could even feel the intense fear that surged up in him in an instant.
Although the old hairpin was well preserved, its texture had become brittle.
Shen Yuntang held it in his hand, feeling light and fluttery.
It’s incredible that such a simple matter has been going on for so long.
How could anyone put a world switch on an old hairpin? I don't even feel a sense of accomplishment destroying it at this moment.
His eyes were bloodshot, "Shen Yuntang——"
"Stay in your world and continue to be bound by your gaze." Shen Yuntang sneered, threw the hairpin on the ground, picked up a metal ornament beside him and smashed it hard -!
Oh shit!
Huo Yuyan was shocked. This was too violent. What would he do if he got beaten in the future?
After the clanging sound of breaking, everyone stared at the ground in a daze, as if nothing was different.
But when they looked up, there was no trace of Shen Zhizhe's voice, and the fake had disappeared.
In just a moment, the two worlds were disconnected.
…
In order to send her in to experience the plot, Shen Zhizhe specially exchanged her role identity with the original owner.
So she is from this world, but the original owner is not.
Shen Yuntang guessed right.
When the thing that controls everything is destroyed, everything that is controlled will be reborn.
She casually put down the metal base in her hand without even changing her expression.
Just like that, without even having the chance to say a word, Shen Zhizhe lost the opportunity to connect with this world forever.
Zhuo Mei should have returned to where she should be.
She raised her chin and said to Huo Yuyan, "Sweep the floor and welcome your mother-in-law."
Shen Yuntang seemed to have just completed a simple task like eating and drinking. He gave orders one by one with no expression on his face.
"Butler Li, throw away the things the fakes used and rearrange them. I want to change the color scheme."
"Ji Liang, throw away the tableware and rethink the menu for dinner."
She walked halfway and turned back: "Ms. Tang, do you welcome a relative who has the same hobbies as you to visit?"
Ms. Tang was stunned for a long time before she nodded blankly.
I'm going to...
Her daughter-in-law is really unconventional every day.
Is that the solution?
It turns out that violence works wonders.
She reacted and quickly went upstairs with her arm in arm, chatting as they went upstairs: "Your in-law's name is Zhuo Mei, right? Isn't she very beautiful? Oh, Huo Yuyan's dad happens to be free, so why don't he cook this meal?"
"Ah, please invite Grandpa over too."
"It's all good, I haven't met my in-laws yet..."
"Master Charles probably hasn't seen her for a long time."
"Why don't we just treat everyone together? Otherwise, what would Huo Yuyan's father do with his free time all day..."
"I was planning to take her to visit the prison..."
The people downstairs didn't have the quick reaction ability as the two ladies.
They were still immersed in the scene of Shen Yuntang smashing things and couldn't extricate themselves.
After a long while, the professional ethics finally awakened Li, and he said with a start: "Get to work!"
He hurriedly urged everyone to dismantle things and remove curtains, and began the general cleaning in a hurry.
As the curtains were removed, Huo Yuyan realized that it was already late outside.
The light of the setting sun just happened to fill the courtyard, neither red nor purple, neither beautiful nor ugly.
Just as he had observed when he sat here before.
When did he feel that the Huo residence became beautiful?
It was after Shen Yuntang arrived.
What was beautiful was not the yard, but her sitting in the yard, frowning and drinking tea.
Huo Yuyan really couldn't think of a more beautiful description, so he simply gave up.
He and Huo Xihuai stood side by side with an extremely unreal confusion, watching others busying around. It was no different from the state of the Huo residence in the past. They still looked like two obstacles.
…
But it's different now.
The fate of everyone, which had been disrupted for many years, finally returned to normal along with the world.
