Chapter 517: High Energy Ahead, the Drama Continues to Twist

Inside the apartment, Xiao Cai was still immersed in being moved.

However, at this very moment, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun exchanged a glance.

Xiao Heyun rested one hand on Li Shiqing's back, then fixed his gaze on the Back Shadow of the Pot Aunt.

When Luo Mo acted in this Drama, he was wearing Glasses. It was this very grave look, combined with the suddenly tense musical score, that made Xiao Cai think he was handsome.

"That's a 'Glasses Kill' right there!"

At the same time, Xiao Cai also quickly pulled herself out of being moved.

"Since it isn't Lao Jiao, then it can only be... it's her!"

"The bomb is inside the pressure cooker!"

This made Xiao Cai feel incredibly surprised, and she also felt the pacing of the entire Drama was unexpectedly fast.

It was only the eighth episode, and they had already identified the bomb!

At this time, the back door of the bus was open; it had reached a stop, and the driver had already urged them to get off quickly before this.

Li Shiqing took a step down, but Xiao Heyun whispered to her: "Run."

He rushed to the side of the Pot Aunt at top speed, and a large hand, with veins popping out due to tension, slammed down onto the pressure cooker at her feet!

The sudden, unexpected situation caused the Pot Aunt to quickly clamp the pressure cooker with her feet.

The gazes of the two met right then.

The camera gave special close-ups of their faces at this moment.

Luo Mo's gaze, and the word "run" he had just whispered to Li Shiqing, made Xiao Cai think he was handsome.

And the Pot Aunt, who had been looking out the window the whole time, turned her head at this moment to lock eyes with Xiao Heyun; this look and facial expression gave Xiao Cai a fright.

——Indifference!

In this gaze, there was too much indifference.

This intense sense of coldness was as if she viewed the lives of everyone on the bus as nothing.

Hollow, numb.

In the blink of an eye, this woman didn't even go to protect the pressure cooker, nor did she spout all sorts of nonsense like an ordinary villain; she didn't even consider why he would discover there was a bomb in the pot.

It didn't matter; none of this mattered anymore.

She stretched out a hand and pulled the Igniter at top speed.

The explosion arrived in an instant, and the firelight swallowed everything.

These fast-paced scenes made Xiao Cai widen her eyes involuntarily.

The Xiao Heyun played by Luo Mo was very decisive, but this terrifying woman was even more decisive!

In the short span of two minutes, Xiao Cai's emotions rose and fell.

She had been moved, she had been touched by the Gentle, she had been impressed by the handsome, she had been frightened, she had been shocked...

If this didn't count as "high-energy," then what did?

"Written well, filmed well, and acted even better!"

Amidst the tense and exciting musical score, and with a violent sound of an explosion, the screen turned dark.

When the screen lit up again, it connected to the opening scene.

It returned to the plot where Lao Jiao was forced to move.

This kind of transition left Xiao Cai somewhat puzzled.

"Why not put this segment at the beginning and play it all at once?"

"Inserting it at this time, is it to relieve the tension and excitement after the high-energy moment?"

In the comments, some viewers even wrote: "Is this starting to pad the Drama and waste time already?"

"They found the bomb in the eighth episode, and now they're starting to pad it."

"Is even Luo Mo unavoidable?"

"Domestic dramas are all like this!"

But Xiao Cai always felt something was wrong.

She felt these netizens were criticizing too early.

In this segment of the plot, it was explained why there were sanitary pads in Lao Jiao's suitcase.

This broken suitcase was given to him by the landlord, who saw he couldn't fit his things and gave it to him.

It was clear that this landlord, who wore a floral shirt and looked like a hoodlum, was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Lao Jiao opened the suitcase, and there were things inside. The landlord said they were likely things left over from when he went traveling with his wife and didn't pack them away.

He told Lao Jiao to keep what he could use and throw away what he couldn't.

Besides this, it was also explained that the reason Lao Jiao had to move out quickly was because the fire department was coming to inspect today.

"Fire department?" Xiao Cai kept a Heart Eye, feeling it was foreshadowing.

And the reason Lao Jiao had to cross the river was because his fellow workers were on the other side, and he could only go there to stay temporarily.

On the wall, every certificate of merit sent by his daughter was carefully taken down by him, then carefully placed into the suitcase.

As if even a folded corner would make his heart ache.

This was his daughter's honor; his daughter was very promising.

As long as his child had a future, he was willing to endure any bitterness or exhaustion.

After packing his luggage, he called his daughter.

"Jiaojiao, listen to Dad, you have to study hard, don't think too much, Dad is doing just fine here. I will work hard to earn more money for us, whatever you lack in the future, just tell Dad!"

"Whether it's sanitary pads or facial cleanser, we can afford it all!"

A voice came from the phone: "Can you stop mentioning that!"

"Dad, I really don't want to go to school anymore," said the girl whose grades were clearly very good.

Seeing this, Xiao Cai fell into silence.

She was a girl; although this part of the Drama was left blank and did not explicitly state what exactly happened to Jiaojiao, she could guess.

How embarrassing, how shameful, how agonizing this must be...

If it happened in the classroom, in front of everyone's eyes, for a teenage girl, this blow, this blow...

But does such a thing really not exist in reality?

Xiao Cai knew that it did.

On the phone, Jiaojiao indicated that she wanted to go to town to work and help her father pay off his debts, which made Lao Jiao extremely anxious.

But the daughter hung up the phone and stopped answering.

Helpless, Lao Jiao had to move his luggage first and go catch the bus.

And as he carried his suitcase up the steps one by one, the Auntie with the Pot was right in front, struggling to carry the pressure cooker with both hands!

The steps were long, and the contents of the pot were heavy; the woman had to stop every few steps.

All the viewers already knew that there was a bomb inside, so a thought flashed through Xiao Cai's mind.

"One is struggling to survive, the other is seeking death."

After Lao Jiao carried his heavy suitcase up, he turned his head and walked back down to ask, "Big sister, do you need me to help you?"

The woman hurriedly refused and continued to struggle to carry it up by herself.

The bus drove along and arrived at the station.

The woman picked up the pressure cooker, wanting to get on the bus.

However, the bus door did not open at the first moment.

This made Lao Jiao unable to help but knock twice.

This, in fact, was also foreshadowing.

The sound of coins being dropped came, and the camera gave a close-up of the coin box inside the bus.

Here, only one person paid.

But there were clearly two passengers getting on.

Just at this moment, Li Shiqing suddenly opened her eyes, and then immediately locked her gaze on the Auntie with the Pot.

Only then did Xiao Cai understand that this was not a recap of previous events, but a direct depiction of a new 【Loop】.

It was just that this time, it started from before Lao Jiao and the Auntie with the Pot got on the bus.

"At the same time, every time they enter the 【Loop】 before this, the time gets earlier."

"Just now, some viewers were saying that as long as they keep committing suicide and letting the wake-up time keep getting earlier, they can get rid of the bomb before the woman gets on the bus."

"But this tells the audience that only after the woman gets on the bus will everything begin, and the male lead and female lead will wake up."

"This isn't filler at all; these plot points are all very necessary!"

However, in this loop, Xiao Heyun almost couldn't wake up!

This made Li Shiqing so anxious she was about to cry.

Ding Xiaoyu's brilliant performance made Xiao Cai feel heart-wrenching just watching it.

At the same time, this detail also made Xiao Cai, who is also a woman, realize: "She has started to rely on him."

Because the wake-up time did not get earlier after this 【Loop】, Li Shiqing guessed whether this would be the last loop.

"What... what should we do?" Li Shiqing was a little panicked.

If they could loop infinitely, they could ignore the fear brought by death.

But now, it was different.

The two had originally discussed getting off the bus when they reached the stop.

They were not saints; they would also be afraid.

But after some internal struggle, Li Shiqing still chose to try one more time.

She babbled on about her thoughts, as if she were convincing herself and cheering herself on.

From beginning to end, Xiao Heyun did not say a word.

"And now, to me, they are no longer just ordinary strangers," Li Shiqing said.

This reason for convincing herself struck Xiao Cai!

"The charm of the Group Portrait is revealed vividly at this moment!"

"They have eaten the watermelon grown by the old man himself."

"They have watched the tears and breakdown of family members together."

"They have already become friends with Lu Di."

"They have received the Kindness of Lao Jiao, the medicine from the auntie..."

This is not just fleshing out every character and every life.

This is also adding a different meaning to every action and every act of bravery!

"Amazing! This show by Luo Mo is amazing!" Xiao Cai's favor for this show was even stronger than before.

However, Xiao Heyun still did not speak; he just looked out the window with a solemn expression.

"I'm not getting off the bus, I'm sorry," Li Shiqing said to him.

As they were about to reach the stop, Li Shiqing stood up and made way for Xiao Heyun, who was sitting inside, to let him get off.

Xiao Heyun stood up, grabbed her, and said in a low voice, "One last time."

The two people's hands gripped each other tightly; the bullet comments went crazy, thinking it was the 【Anti-Bomb CP】 being sweet.

But Xiao Cai felt it was more than just that.

She could see the fear in both of them.

They were each other's emotional pillars.

And for some reason, Xiao Cai didn't know if his own thoughts were right either: "Li Shiqing wants to save everyone on the bus, Xiao Heyun... is trying to save her!"

Her heartbeat began to accelerate wildly.

"One can always find themselves falling for Luo Mo again and again in every different drama."

……..

……..

Since they had chosen not to get off the bus, then, the action was about to begin.

Xiao Cai watched with extreme tension.

Li Shiqing stepped forward and told the driver, don't close the door yet, something was dropped and they needed to look for it.

"Hurry up, you two," the driver said.

The two lowered their bodies and began to pretend to look for something.

During this process, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing moved closer and closer to the woman by the window.

Then, the two suddenly struck, reaching out to grab the pressure cooker.

The sudden scene shocked everyone on the bus.

Pot Auntie had been keeping the pressure cooker between her legs, and at this moment, she immediately clamped down on it with great force.

"Two people going to grab it, they should definitely be able to get it," Xiao Cai thought.

In the comments, many were pointing fingers, saying: "One person controls the woman, one person grabs the pot, is that so hard?"

Xiao Heyun subdued the woman, telling Li Shiqing to hurry up and take the pressure cooker, to hurry and leave.

"Go! Go!" he roared at the top of his lungs.

After cycle upon cycle, Li Shiqing showed no abnormalities, but for some reason, Xiao Heyun's body was growing weaker and weaker.

Xiao Cai watched this tense scene, thinking that this time it should succeed.

Who could have imagined... high energy ahead!

Pot Auntie took out a small knife from somewhere and, without a word, plunged it fiercely into Xiao Heyun's body!

"Open the door, Uncle!" Li Shiqing shouted at the driver.

A bizarre scene occurred.

The bus door... was actually closed!

In an instant, Xiao Cai felt his whole body go numb and cold to the bone.

This middle-aged woman holding the small knife grabbed Li Shiqing's hair in one go.

She still didn't say a word; her expression remained as indifferent as ever, and her eyes were just as hollow and numb.

She pulled Li Shiqing and forced her onto the seat.

Slow motion began to emerge, and the voices of every character on the bus were muted at this moment.

Only a heavy, deep, and chilling background music began to play.

Li Shiqing struggled desperately, Shouting.

But the woman holding the small knife pursed her lips, her eyes seemingly devoid of any emotion.

The small knife stabbed directly into Li Shiqing's neck, and the scene turned black and white at this moment.

The scene before his eyes scared Xiao Cai to death.

"This woman is so terrifying!"

"This woman is too scary!"

At this moment, the woman stood up holding the blood-dripping small knife and walked step by step toward the pressure cooker that had been kicked aside earlier.

She squatted down, looked down for a moment, and then slowly raised her head.

In the black and white frame, a close-up was given of the upper half of her face.

Her gaze made Xiao Cai, sitting in his chair, unable to help but shift his bottom backward, leaning back frantically.

Right in that cold-blooded, indifferent gaze, she detonated the bomb once again!

"Please don't let this be the last Loop!" Xiao Cai kept muttering.

Honestly, this is a drama; if the male and female leads just died like this, then... that would be fucking insane!

The reason Xiao Cai was like this was actually a sign of being too immersed, having become completely absorbed.

The 【Loop】 happened again, and this time it was Xiao Heyun who woke up on the bus first, while Li Shiqing was still immersed in nightmares and fear.

By the time she was woken up by Xiao Heyun, she was still trembling and sobbing.

Xiao Heyun immediately pulled her over and held her, offering comfort.

"Yu is acting so well, this sense of fear and sobbing."

Indeed, she is also a creature of flesh and blood; although one can be resurrected, memories cannot be erased.

What a breakdown this is!

"It's okay, it's okay," Xiao Heyun held her tight, saying repeatedly.

The bus arrived at Yanjiang East Road Station, and Xiao Heyun stood up directly, pulling her to get off the bus.

Li Shiqing, however, held him back and said, "Try one more time."

"Ah, this!" Xiao Cai said: "The little sister is too brave."

Xiao Heyun looked at Li Shiqing, whose eyes were still red, feeling both heartbroken and angry, and said in a low voice only three words: "It's not worth it."

Li Shiqing took a deep breath and broke free from Xiao Heyun's hand.

She learned her lesson this time, directly launching a sneak attack on Pot Auntie, smashing the back of her head, and then grabbing the pot.

After the pressure cooker was dragged out by her, the woman immediately pulled out a small knife and stabbed toward Li Shiqing.

In a flash, an arm appeared, using its own limb to directly block this knife.

——It was Xiao Heyun!

He and the woman holding the knife were locked in a stalemate, and no one around dared to step forward to help.

"Help!" Xiao Cai shouted in her heart: "What are you doing! Everyone go and help!"

"Go and help him!"

"Go and help Luo Mo!"

Xiao Cai wished she could crawl into the screen.

At this very moment, based on her conventional thinking as a Drama Critic, she boldly guessed that this action would also fail, and then the male lead and female lead would begin to coordinate with the others on the bus to ask for help.

For example, isn't Lu Di a good helper? Just shout his name, Cat Apostle, and this two-dimensional fan will believe you!

"These two Loops are actually about learning lessons and consolidating strength!" Xiao Cai thought.

However, the development of the Drama exceeded everyone's expectations.

Luo Mo's tactics were not so easy to guess.

In the stalemate, in order to protect himself, Xiao Heyun backhanded and killed the woman!

"Ah!!" Xiao Cai couldn't help but scream.

"This... this!" This was all beyond her expectations.

The sudden accident made her understand why the symbol of the infinite Loop at the beginning of this episode had turned blood red.

Because this episode would be soaked in blood!

"What now?" Three words immediately popped into Xiao Cai's mind.

"The woman is dead, the bomb won't explode, and the crisis is resolved."

"But, the Loop should be over too, right?"

"Then Xiao Heyun... what about Xiao Heyun!?"

"He killed someone! He actually killed someone!"

The screen turned black and white at this moment.

It was time for Luo Mo to show off his acting skills.

After the small knife was plunged into the woman's body, his performance was truly excellent.

His body was trembling, and his facial muscles were twitching.

The Glasses on his nose slid down a bit due to the force, making his gaze appear even more dazed and helpless.

His expression was complex, very complex.

Covered in blood, he looked around at everyone.

In this black and white scene, these passengers, none of whom dared to step forward to help earlier, now showed infinite fear as they met his gaze.

As if this man who had saved the whole bus was the greatest Evil on the bus!

A... murderous devil!

"My heart aches for him, how hard this must be!" Xiao Cai felt this episode was too cruel; this high-energy Reversal made it too painful to watch.

It was too ironic, all of this was too ironic!

Xiao Heyun lowered his head, his facial muscles still twitching, and his body would tremble from time to time.

He glanced at the blood-stained knife in his hand.

Then, his hand, with veins popping out, suddenly opened wide, as if afraid of this murder weapon.

Perhaps, what he was afraid of was facing everything that would follow.

The small knife immediately fell to the floor of the bus, making a sound.

"Ahhh! Why is Luo Mo acting so well? The better he acts, the more painful it is for me to watch!"

"Please, stop with these Reversals, stop challenging my poor little heart."

In the black and white scene, everyone was retreating, only Li Shiqing, who was also scared silly, dared to step forward, approaching the killed woman and the blood-covered Xiao Heyun.

For Xiao Heyun, who was at a loss and whose mind was a blank slate, Li Shiqing's approach was actually the final salvation in the depths of his heart.

——She is not afraid of me.

He grabbed Li Shiqing's hand and got off the bus.

"What do I do, the bombing case has turned into a murder case." Xiao Cai was anxious.

"How should the following Drama be filmed!"

"Does this count as self-defense?"

"Is the Loop about to be lifted?"

The screen refocused on the bus.

The scene of the dead person left the bus driver with a stunned expression.

Just at this moment, the camera focused on the pressure cooker inside the red plastic bag.

A scene that exceeded everyone's expectations happened just like that.

A hand, whose owner was unknown, approached the pressure cooker, and then... actually detonated the bomb!!!
