Chapter 513

~9 min read 1,757 words

After the thirteenth and fourteenth episodes of "Reset" aired, across the whole network, this drama continued to spark heated discussions, "Wang Wang Mengmeng’s Death," "Consequences of Cyber-bullying," etc., became hot words.

Of course, there were also discussions about suspense.

This drama was played to the point of being about to end, and there were not many suspense points left for the audience.

What everyone is most concerned about is, "Why did the loop happen in the first place?"

Regarding this, netizens have let their imaginations run wild.

More viewers are waiting to find the answer in the finale.

After the finale of *Reset* aired on Earth, it was roasted on the hot search list for its "rushed ending." Subsequently, a netizen proposed an alternative ending: Wang Wang Mengmeng also entered the loop, which is why she was so distraught on the bus, and the male and female leads were merely in a parallel world within the loop that existed after Wang Wang Mengmeng died.

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

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

Conversely, another explanation regarding the "spirit of the departed" is far more reasonable.

Based on the original's satisfactory finale, the girl heavily modified 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 Sister Reba.

And amidst the anticipation of the masses, Tuesday arrived—the night of the *Reset* finale.

Three days prior, Penguin Video had already begun a frantic marketing campaign, pouring in all sorts of promotional resources.

The reason they were so willing to spend was mainly because the show was simply too popular and had such a strong ability to attract new users; they wanted to take advantage of the finale's heat to make one last big push.

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

Right at the start, the male and female leads, now a couple, returned to the bus and entered the [Loop].

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

She had been "fried" enough times that she was now steady as a rock.

She utilized the successful experience from previous loops, first sending a text message to Officer Zhang reporting that there was a bomb on the bus.

Immediately after.

She repeated her previous tactics, gathering all available strength and, in the name of the police, getting Lao Jiao and Lu Di to help her.

Then, she glanced at Xiao Xiao Heyun and sat down behind the driver. In this loop, Li 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 remained or if Xiao Xiao Heyun's physical condition could hold out until the next [Loop], so she didn't dare to gamble.

This time, she staked everything.

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

The subsequent plot differed from the original TV series; it belonged to the girl's heavy modification.

In the original version, Xiao Xiao Heyun only woke up at the most critical moment, but now, the girl had moved his wake-up time earlier. The reason for filming it this way was to avoid the "lip-service" scenes from the original show.

In a word, it was completely unnecessary.

After Xiao Xiao Heyun woke up, he exchanged a distant look with Li Li Shiqing. Li Li Shiqing gave an imperceptible nod. This action caught the attention of the "Pot Auntie," but she never dreamed that these two already knew her plan to blow up the bus.

Then, without almost any hesitation, Xiao Xiao Heyun went to the back row to find Lu Di and, as a fellow anti-bomb teammate, borrowed the coat Lu Di used to wrap his kitten—something he had seen in previous loops.

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

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

"What are you doing!"

The Pot Auntie had been looking out the window when she was suddenly covered by the coat that descended from the sky. Subconsciously, she reached out to grab her plastic bag, but Lao Jiao grabbed her hands and held them firmly under control.

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

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

Everything happened too quickly. The entire sequence was fluid and completed within a dozen seconds. The other passengers only reacted then, and were instantly stunned.

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

Xiao 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 comment section instantly flooded the screen:

"Satisfying!"

"So satisfying!"

"Xiao Xiao Heyun is so cool! I admit this part made me swoon!"

"Although the streamer isn't a bad person, he was so redundant on the bus. All he knew was to film, film, film. He couldn't help at all and just 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 viewers exclaimed that they felt satisfied.

The floral-shirt streamer was shut down by Xiao Xiao Heyun.

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

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

Returning to the bus, the floral-shirt streamer had been shut down by Xiao Xiao Heyun and his expression was immediately unpleasant. Just as he was about to say something, he was frightened by Xiao Xiao Heyun's fierce gaze, and Xiao Xiao Heyun was still holding the knife taken from the Pot Auntie.

Instantly, the threat was palpable, and the floral-shirt streamer didn't dare to speak.

In the front driver's cabin, things happened too fast, and the driver only had time to look back once...

With a hurried glance, he could only see a young man and a sloppy middle-aged man pinning his wife to the floor. His wife was struggling hard but couldn't break free.

Good heavens.

He nearly had a heart attack.

What was going on?

The veteran actor displayed his most exquisite acting skills. The driver was instantly flustered, a sense of unease already in his heart, but after one look, he withdrew his gaze, pretending to know nothing, and continued driving.

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

"Wang 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 escalated, turn yourself in!"

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

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

Under the threat of death, he moved quickly. He took over from Xiao Xiao Heyun and, cooperating with Lao Jiao, pinned the Pot Auntie to the floor.

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

Wang Wang Xingde took another look, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

The audience understood in a second:

"Hahahaha, in such a tense atmosphere, why do I find this a bit funny?"

"Wang Wang Xingde: My mentality has collapsed, damn it."

"Is it appropriate to take turns?"

"Bus NTR?"

"Those viewers from Sakura, please calm down."

"Pot Auntie is so miserable, she hasn't even reacted and she's already been controlled."

"The situation is looking great. I feel there's hope this time. As long as Wang Wang Xingde stops the car in time, the whole bus can be saved."

"……1.0"

At this time, the camera cut to Wang Wang Xingde.

He used his expressions to convey his inner panic.

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

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

"Wang 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 commemorate their deceased daughter.

At the same time, after Xiao Xiao Heyun swapped tasks with the fitness man, he stood up. Without hesitation, he took down the window-breaking hammer and, amidst the screams and exclamations of Auntie Yao, Uncle Gua, the floral-shirt streamer, and other passengers, smashed the window with force.

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

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