Chapter 1042

What everyone cared about most was, "Why exactly did the loop occur?"

Regarding this, netizens let their imaginations run wild.

More viewers were waiting to get the answer in the finale.

After "Reset" on Earth concluded, it was slammed on the trending list for its "rushed ending." Subsequently, a netizen proposed another ending—that Wang Mengmeng had also entered the loop, which was why she acted so out of character on the bus, and the male and female leads were merely in a parallel world loop after Wang Mengmeng had died.

It must be said, this imaginative theory could indeed have made this show a masterpiece.

But the reason the young lady didn't choose this theory was that Wang Mengmeng was actually standing on the bus at the time and wasn't asleep, failing to meet the conditions for the loop. Moreover, the original version didn't have much foreshadowing to support this theory.

Conversely, another explanation regarding "the spirit of the departed" was much more reasonable.

Building upon the original version's satisfactory finale, the young lady magic-adapted this version of the ending.

……

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a short weekend holiday had passed.

Mingyue was still busy preparing for the concert.

Youyue was still busy filming "Wind and Cloud."

In between, she occasionally flirted with Reba.

And amidst the anticipation of the masses, Tuesday arrived, and the finale night of "Reset" descended.

Three days prior, Penguin Video had already begun a frantic promotional campaign, throwing all kinds of publicity resources at it.

The reason they were so willing was mainly because this show was simply too explosive, with an incredibly strong ability to attract new users, and they wanted to take advantage of the finale's popularity to push for one last surge.

At this very moment, as the finale updated, the audience, who had been anxiously waiting for three or four days and were already itching with impatience, clicked on the "Reset" finale to watch.

Right at the start, the male and female leads, now in a romantic relationship, returned to the bus and entered the 【Loop】.

This time, this time, Xiao Heyun didn't wake up immediately; he was still trapped in "standby" mode. Seeing that she couldn't wake him, Li Shiqing had no choice but to start acting on her own.

She had been blown up enough times to be well-done; she was steady as a rock now.

She utilized the successful experience from the previous few loops, first sending an alarm text to Officer Zhang, stating there was a bomb on the bus.

Immediately after.

She repeated her success, gathering all the power she could utilize, and in the name of the police, asked Old Jiao and Lu Di to help her.

Then she glanced at Xiao Heyun and sat behind the driver. This loop, Li Shiqing was exceptionally cautious. When she sat behind the driver, the driver didn't even notice that an extra person had appeared in the empty seat behind him.

She wasn't sure how many 【Loop】 counts were left, or if Xiao Heyun's physical condition could hold out until the next 【Loop】; she didn't dare to gamble.

This time, she staked everything.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xiao Heyun also woke up.

The subsequent plot was different from the original TV series; it belonged to the young lady's magic adaptation.

In the original version, Xiao Heyun only woke up at the most critical moment, but now, the young lady had moved his waking time forward. The reason for filming it this way was to avoid filming the "lip-service" scenes from the original TV series.

In a word, it was completely unnecessary.

After Xiao Heyun woke up, he exchanged a distant look with Li Shiqing. Li Shiqing nodded imperceptibly. This movement caught the attention of the Pot Aunt, but she would never have guessed that these two already knew her plan to blow up the bus.

Then, Xiao Heyun, with almost no hesitation, went to the back row to find Lu Di and, as an anti-bomb teammate, borrowed the coat wrapping the kitten in his bag; this was something he had seen in a previous loop.

When the bus passed the intersection with the oil tanker, Xiao Heyun walked from the back row to beside Tao Yinghong and then threw the coat over her head.

Seeing this, Old Jiao and Lu Di, who had quietly followed Xiao Heyun up, also struck at the same time!

"What are you doing!"

The Pot Aunt had originally been looking out the window, but was suddenly covered by the coat that descended from the sky. Subconsciously, she reached out to grab her plastic bag, but Old Jiao grabbed her hands, firmly controlling her.

Meanwhile, Lu Di seized the opportunity to snatch the pressure cooker.

Then Xiao Heyun pulled the small knife from her pocket and, together with Old Jiao, pinned the Pot Aunt to the floor of the bus.

Everything happened too fast. The entire sequence was fluid and completed within a dozen seconds. The other passengers only reacted at this moment and were instantly stunned.

"Young man, even if this person is carrying a knife, you can't just pin her down like this..." the floral-shirt streamer said while filming with his phone.

Xiao Heyun had no time to waste words with him and said sternly, "Shut up! This has nothing to do with you! Don't be long-winded!"

The barrage instantly flooded the screen:

"Refreshing!"

"Truly refreshing!"

"Xiao Heyun is so cool! I admit this part made me think he was cool!"

"Although the streamer isn't a bad person, he was too redundant on the bus. All he knew was to film, film, film, he couldn't help at all, and he kept yapping. I've been annoyed with him for a long time!"

"That scolding felt good!"

"Me too, he should have been scolded like that long ago!"

"……"

The audience cheered, feeling satisfied.

The floral-shirt streamer was retorted by Xiao Heyun,

But the anti-bomb team's divine operation wasn't over yet. In the final loop, everyone gave it their all.

At the same time, in the shots, the police on the highway were also moving quickly, arranging cars to follow the bus while clearing the cross-river bridge and completing the deployment.

Returning to the bus, the floral-shirt streamer was retorted by Xiao Heyun, and his expression immediately turned sour. Just as he was about to say something, he was frightened by Xiao Heyun's fierce gaze, and Xiao Heyun also held the small knife searched from the Pot Aunt.

Instantly, full of threat, the floral-shirt streamer didn't dare to speak.

And in the front driver's cabin, things happened too fast; the driver only had time to look back once...

A hurried glance only allowed him to see a young man and a middle-aged disheveled uncle pinning his wife to the ground. His wife struggled hard but couldn't break free.

Good heavens.

Nearly had a heart attack.

What was going on?

The veteran actor brought out his most exquisite acting skills. The driver was instantly flustered, already having an uneasy premonition in his heart, but after one look, he withdrew his gaze, pretending to know nothing, and continued driving.

Yet at this moment, Xiao Heyun began to output, breaking the last shred of luck in the driver's heart:

"Wang Xingde, your wife has been controlled by us, and the pressure cooker is also in our hands. Stop now and pull over, there is still a chance to turn over a new leaf."

"The police will not allow your plan to succeed. While things haven't blown up yet, turn yourself in!"

Immediately after, Xiao Heyun continued to say loudly, "Big guy in front, if you don't want to die, come and help quickly."

The big guy woke up as if from a dream and ran over quickly.

Under the threat of death, his movement speed was very fast. He replaced Xiao Heyun and, cooperating with Old Jiao, pinned the Pot Aunt to the ground.

Now, it had become a strong man and a middle-aged man pinning Wang Xingde's wife to the floor. The Pot Aunt couldn't break free no matter what, and the scene was once unbearable to watch.

Wang Xingde looked back again, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

The audience understood in a second:

"Hahahaha, in such a tense atmosphere, why do I feel it's a bit funny."

"Wang Xingde: My mentality has collapsed."

"Is it appropriate to take turns?"

"Bus NTR?"

"Those viewers from Sakura, please calm down."

"The Pot Aunt is so miserable, she hasn't even reacted yet and has already been controlled."

"The situation is looking great. I feel there is hope this time. As long as Wang Xingde stops the car in time, he can save the whole bus of people."

"……1.0"

At this time, the camera focused on Wang Xingde.

He used his expression to portray his inner panic.

He was completely panicked. These people not only called out his name but also spoke of the biggest secret in their hearts. His hand trembled slightly.

The Pot Aunt, pinned to the ground with a coat over her face, couldn't see what was happening, but she understood that things had been exposed. At this moment, her nearly crazy voice rang out:

"Wang Xingde, keep driving!"

"Don't worry about me!"

"Keep driving!"

She shouted at the top of her lungs.

To her, why these people knew their biggest secret was completely unimportant. The most important thing was to take this busload of people to their deaths to sacrifice to their deceased daughter.

At the same time, after Xiao Heyun exchanged tasks with the fitness man, he stood up. He didn't hesitate, directly took down the window-breaking hammer, and amidst the screams and exclamations of Auntie Yao, Uncle Gua, the floral-shirt streamer, and other passengers, he forcefully smashed the window.

Then, his eyes stared nervously at Li Shiqing in the front row.

He had done everything he could; the rest depended on Li Shiqing's performance. ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
