Chapter 1030
The camera cut to the inside of the bus.
This time, Xiao Heyun was the first to wake up on the bus; he looked at Li Shiqing beside him, who was showing pain, her brows tightly furrowed, shrinking her neck desperately, still trapped in the fear of the previous round, recalling Pot Auntie's numb gaze as she killed like killing a chicken, over and over again.
Xiao Heyun had experienced this feeling of terrifying death.
That knife was stabbed directly into Li Shiqing's neck; how much must it have hurt?
"Li Shiqing."
"Li Shiqing."
"Li Shiqing."
Xiao Heyun called out nervously and worriedly, but in a soft voice.
Fortunately, as if hearing Xiao Heyun's call, Li Shiqing finally woke up, but she was still shaking and scared, her throat emitting a violent wheezing sound like a broken bellows, as if she could still feel the bone-chilling coldness in her throat.
The audience seeing this scene also felt a pang of heartache.
"Zhao Jingmai's acting is good."
"Performed very well; this kind of post-event fear and crying scene can beat many actors in the industry."
"Xu Mingyue trained her well."
"..."
The audience knew that after the role of the Little Fairy in "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan," another classic character had appeared for Zhao Jingmai, namely Li Shiqing; one could even say that the national popularity and influence of this character would be even higher.
And all of this had a lot to do with that pair of twins, Xu Mingyue.
Good shows, actors, and characters complement each other.
On screen.
Xiao Heyun looked at Li Shiqing's terrified appearance, worried and sad, constantly comforting her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay now."
He understood the bitterness of it.
Although people could be resurrected through loops, memories would not be erased; Li Shiqing had truly experienced being murdered just now—how much of a breakdown was that!
He could only repeat the comfort over and over again.
When Li Shiqing gradually calmed down, Xiao Heyun suggested getting off at the next stop to adjust their mindset first; if they died again like last time, they would probably both develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
But when the bus arrived at the Yanjiang East Road station, the two had already reached the back door ready to get off, but Li Shiqing grabbed Xiao Heyun and said, "Try one more time!"
"The little sister is truly brave."
Xiaodan's beautiful eyes twinkled, praising repeatedly.
She had completely fallen in love with this stunning character, Li Shiqing.
Smart, brave, kind, decisive!
It's hard not to like such a character.
These days, such characters are hard to create because everyone hates "saints," especially in apocalyptic web novels, where there is a saying: "Saints must die."
Everyone prefers protagonists who are brave, resourceful, and decisive.
But clearly, Li Shiqing is not a saint; she is truly kind, not a pushover.
Call her naive or persistent, but this kindness makes her shine with the brilliance of humanity.
Such a girl is super likable.
This reminded Xiaodan of Zhao Linger, whom the husbands of Xu Mingyue had once played, who was equally likable and even became the dream lover of many.
"They can always write such girls in their scripts; it's great." Xiaodan giggled when thinking of those twins.
In the show.
Xiao Heyun looked at Li Shiqing, whose eyes were still red, both angry and heartbroken, and said in a deep voice: "It's not worth it."
Yes!
It's not worth it!
He and Li Shiqing tried their best to save everyone on the bus, but when Li Shiqing faced a life-and-death crisis, where were those people? No one stepped out to help her, watching her being killed by Pot Auntie!
It's too not worth it!
Li Shiqing just looked at Xiao Heyun deeply, then took a deep breath, shook off Xiao Heyun's hand, rushed back onto the bus, came to Pot Auntie's side, and before she could react, pressed Pot Auntie's head and smashed it onto the seat in front.
This move was incredibly cool.
The audience shouted that they felt satisfied.
Then Li Shiqing took the opportunity to start grabbing the pot.
But she didn't expect Pot Auntie to recover quickly; just as the pressure cooker was dragged out by Li Shiqing, Pot Auntie pulled out the small knife and stabbed at Li Shiqing.
But at this moment, in a flash of lightning, an arm appeared and blocked the knife with its own arm.
Seeing this, Pot Auntie wanted to commit murder again, but Xiao Heyun, not knowing where the strength came from, actually gained the upper hand in the stalemate with Pot Auntie, while Li Shiqing took the opportunity to move the pressure cooker away to avoid the tragedy of the last time repeating.
Xiao Heyun and Pot Auntie were locked in a stalemate, both using all their strength—one wanting to kill, the other stopping her from committing murder.
The passengers nearby were terrified, and again, no one stepped forward to help.
"These people are truly not worth it."
"Go help the weakling, no, go help Xiao Heyun!"
"It's so frustrating!"
Zhao's father was watching the show, shouting out loud, wishing he could rush into the screen to help.
God knows how angry he was when he saw his precious daughter killed in the last loop.
At the same time.
Xiaodan was also nervous, her palms sweating, her breathing rapid, her chest heaving violently, showing a beautiful undulating line.

"Xiao Heyun has no murderous intent, Pot Auntie does; it's hard, but as long as someone helps, there's hope."
Xiaodan prayed and hoped.
But the development of the plot always exceeded expectations.
With a "puchi" sound, the knife entered the body, and a person revealed an expression of disbelief, blood flowing from their chest, and slowly fell down.
This person was not Xiao Heyun, but Pot Auntie.
In the stalemate between the two, Xiao Heyun, in order to protect himself, actually counter-killed Pot Auntie!
At this moment.
Shock was written on the faces of all the audience.
"Ah!" Xiaodan couldn't help but exclaim.
The comments swept wildly.
"Holy crap! Xiao Heyun killed someone!!!! He killed Pot Auntie!"
"It's over, although it was successfully stopped this time, he's become a murderer; won't he be locked in a dark room again?"
"Xu Mingyue's tricks are truly impossible to guess!"
... 0
"Think from another direction, maybe Pot Auntie is dead, the bomb won't explode, and the loop will end!"
"But what about Xiao Heyun? Even if a murderer isn't sentenced to death, they have to go to jail!"
"Can only wait for the following plot."
"I actually feel a little bit satisfied!"
"Me too!"
"Xue Tian performed well, his acting is very good! After killing someone, he was confused and at a loss, and then his whole body was trembling!"
On screen.
The sound of "Sarilang" rang out again and again; the passengers were all stunned, scared silly, looking at Xiao Heyun with fear on their faces.
How ironic.
Earlier, when Pot Auntie was about to commit murder, no one stood up to help; now that Xiao Heyun counter-killed in self-defense, they were all afraid of Xiao Heyun.
The ugly side of human nature was displayed vividly.
Xiao Heyun didn't care about them anymore; he threw away the bloody knife, held Li Shiqing's hand, went straight off the bus, and left the Yanjiang East Road station.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the bus exploded anyway.
The camera gave a close-up, showing a man's hand reaching toward the pressure cooker and then pulling the fuse!
But Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing didn't care about all this anymore; they quickly left the explosion scene.
The eighth episode ends here.
