Chapter 1026
To her, none of this mattered anymore.
Let it be destroyed.
The world is not worth it.
She simply reached out her hand and pulled the fuse on the pressure cooker.
Boom!
The bus exploded instantly, and the flames swallowed everything.
This time, everyone on the bus was killed in the explosion, including Li Shiqing.
Xiao Heyun's actions proved what "decisiveness leads to failure" means!
He was decisive, but Pot Auntie was even more decisive than him.
"I remember the scene of the fuse being pulled appeared in previous episodes; it turns out that was the fuse installed inside the pressure cooker," a netizen said in the comments.
In fact, that is indeed the case.
The show "Reset" can be said to be full of details.
On Earth, after this show concluded, netizens specifically dug into the details.
Regarding the explosion segment, it was very clear:
As early as the 11th loop in the fourth episode, at 8 minutes and 07 seconds, the director deliberately inserted two frames of the pressure cooker fuse before the explosion.
During the 14th loop in the fifth episode, it appeared again at 21 minutes and 43 seconds.
Additionally, when Lu Di had an asthma attack on the bus and reached into his bag for medicine, one could see Pot Auntie bending over; it was at that moment she pulled the fuse and detonated the bomb.
In fact, this show had long told the audience who the bomber was, but the details were hidden too deeply.
Of course, the audience on Blue Star had not discovered it yet.
They were deeply attracted by the high-energy, fast-paced plot and couldn't stop watching.
A flash of white light, and a new loop began.
The bus was driving on the road, arriving at the "Port New Village" station, with Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun sleeping groggily on the bus.
Off the bus, only two people were waiting: one was Old Jiao, and the other was Pot Auntie.
Pot Auntie picked up the pressure cooker, wanting to get on the bus.
However, the bus door did not open immediately.
Old Jiao couldn't help but knock on the bus twice before the door opened.
This was actually a piece of foreshadowing.
Immediately after.
The two got on the bus, and the camera gave a close-up of the coin box; two one-yuan coins were dropped in, and they were dropped at once, indicating... only one person paid.
This was also foreshadowing.
When the sound of coins rang out, Li Shiqing also woke up, which also meant the 18th loop had begun.
She opened her beautiful big eyes and was surprised to find that Old Jiao and Pot Auntie had already boarded.
Checking the time, it was 13:29; this time, the loop did not start a minute earlier than the last one.
But she couldn't worry about researching that for now, because Xiao Heyun beside her hadn't woken up yet.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his head covered in cold sweat, and his already pale face was completely bloodless. No matter how anxiously Li Shiqing called out, he did not wake up.
This made Li Shiqing so anxious she was about to cry, her eyes turning red.
"In the last loop, he was too close to the bomb; could that be the reason?"
Fortunately, amidst Li Shiqing's repeated calls, Xiao Heyun finally woke up, gasping for air.
At the moment of the explosion in the last loop, the pain reached Xiao Heyun's flesh and bone marrow through his pores; in an instant, he felt his head, limbs, and even bones were detached from his perception, and the intense pain had caused him to fall into a state similar to sleep paralysis.
He could hear others talking, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.
Xiao Heyun explained.
"Sleep paralysis, that's truly terrifying." Xiaodan felt lingering fear; she loved sleeping, but the thing she feared most was encountering sleep paralysis—that feeling of wanting to wake up but being unable to was simply too painful.
At the same time, through this plot, Xiaodan also discovered that Li Shiqing had begun to rely on Xiao Heyun, and she was worried about his safety.
"It seems sudden, but it's actually gradual; after all, they've experienced life and death together many times. The scriptwriting skill of the husbands is truly perverted, and of course, the actors performed very well too," Xiaodan sighed.
This encounter of Xiao Heyun's sounded an alarm for the anti-bomb duo.
Even if they could loop infinitely, their spirits would be crushed by death; furthermore, the loop could stop at any time, and after waking up this time, the time did not continue to advance.
This raised a deep sense of crisis in the hearts of the male and female leads.
Perhaps this was the last loop.
At the same time, because the time would no longer advance, the plan they had previously thought of to stop the bomber from boarding was completely ruined.
The plot entered a dead end once again.
They needed to stop the bomber from detonating the bomb on the bus and save everyone.
【Text garbled】
If they could loop infinitely, they could ignore the fear brought by death; at worst, they could just restart.
However, it was different now; it was possible the loop had stopped, and if they died, they would really die and never come back to life.
With their lives at stake, Xiao Heyun tended to prepare for the worst—the two of them getting off directly at the next stop, "Yanjiang East Road."
"But what about them? To me, they are no longer strangers I don't know," Li Shiqing said with a conflicted face.
She understood Xiao Heyun's thoughts; she was also afraid of death and knew this was the choice most beneficial to them.
But she couldn't do it.
On this bus, she had received sanitary pads from Old Jiao, medicine from the medicine aunt, eaten watermelon from Uncle Ma, and become friends with Lu Di...
They seemed like strangers, but in the previous loops, she had already gotten to know them.
They were living people, with flesh and blood; everyone had their own story and their own life.
She didn't want to give up just like that.
Uncle Ma was going to deliver melons to his son; if she left, would his melons never be delivered?
What about those cats in Lu Di's secret base?
And Old Jiao, once he died, his daughter would have no support at all; what would she do?
At the crossroads of fate, Li Shiqing decided to stay and save people.
This scene deeply moved the audience.
And Xiao Heyun didn't let the audience down; he also chose to stay, accompanying Li Shiqing to make a final attempt.
They might be facing death, but they moved forward without hesitation.
