The Beginning

Chapter 24: Eighteenth cycle

Views:

"From the only one time data, it is impossible to tell whether we have stopped the loop, or just time has stopped going backwards; if it is the first one, it means that we only have one chance to solve this matter... "

The little brother glanced at the time with a serious expression, "But it's already 13:22. I was in a bad state before and wasted too much time. We may not have enough time."

Not only is it not enough, it is basically tantamount to waiting to die.

"If it's just that time has stopped going backwards, we have to think about why this happened."

He was uneasy in his heart, but he still had to force himself to calm down and continue to infer, "Time stopped at this station, there are two possibilities. The first one is that we successfully found the explosives and the prisoner. Thinking about it, maybe Because we 'met' a certain condition, God didn't feel the need to give us time to try again and again... ”

"The second possibility, maybe because the 'source' of the incident is at this station." The little brother trembled, "Then, we have to consider what happened at this station. For example, the aunt with the pressure cooker is Those who get on the train at this stop…”

Because the cause of the tragedy was the bomb in the "pressure cooker" that got on the car, so it is meaningless to go back. Time is frozen at this moment. If you think about it in this direction, it really makes sense.

Li Shiqing understood, but her mood became even more flustered.

"We have to think about the worst."

She suppressed the panic and anxiety in her heart, "If you don't consider the latter situation, if we are really in the last cycle this time, how can we stop the explosion now?"

"It may not be the first situation. It's this time. We can't discourage ourselves. Besides, the current situation is not too bad."

The little brother glanced at the Yanjiang East Road Station that he had missed, and forced himself to explain to her, "...the explosion just now also gave us a lot of information."

"First of all, it is certain that the explosive is a pressure cooker. The detonation method I saw visually was to unplug the pressure limiting valve. Therefore, we must not let the aunt touch the pressure cooker during any operation."

The little brother lowered his voice and whispered in Li Shiqing's ear. "This aunt is indifferent and vigilant, and will not pay attention to your behavior of attracting attention, so there is no way to 'outsmart', but to 'strength'."

"Fortunately, she is a thin middle-aged woman. If the two of us go up together, there is a high probability that we can successfully take down the pressure cooker."

"Are you sure you can do it?"

It's not that Li Shiqing looks down on the little brother, but that the "force value" that the little brother has always shown is particularly worrying.

The masked man can't beat the masked man, and the old man and the old man can't grab it.

This middle-aged woman looks thin and weak, as if she would fall down when the wind blows, but can a person who is so cruel that he can hold a bomb and die with the people in the bus, can he really be so easily dealt with

"I wanted to 'confirm the situation' before, and this time I really wanted to work hard. It's two different things."

The little brother knew what Li Shiqing was worried about, rubbed the top of her head, and said in a very firm tone: "I already know what's in that pot, it's about your safety and our future, so I must use all my courage and strength of."

"Since you think it's okay, I'll take it as if we can successfully snatch the pressure cooker. Then what should we do after we successfully snatch the pressure cooker?"

Li Shiqing raised the most practical question straight to the point, "We can't keep holding the pot, can we? Even if we call the police now, there must be too little time."

"Given the time constraints, my initial idea is this."

The little brother took out his notebook to write and draw again, and started his "planning pass" again.

"Here, this intersection, I have observed that we have had car accidents at around 13:29 many times before. If the driver is not distracted, this intersection can usually pass without any danger, so we can't do it at the right time. Around this time, once the driver is distracted, it is easy to hit the tanker for no reason... "

The little brother drew an intersection and marked it with the words "13:29".

"I suggest that we start after 13:30, and start immediately after successfully passing that intersection."

"Can."

Li Shiqing nodded.

"After passing this intersection, we will go to the approach bridge. The speed on the approach bridge will not be too fast. Let's start at the approach bridge." The little brother drew an "X" on the approach bridge.

"The bus drives on the right after getting on the bridge. After grabbing the pressure cooker, we must not let the auntie touch the pressure limiting valve. When I stop the auntie, you take off the safety hammer as quickly as possible and knock on the valve. The glass on the right, when the glass breaks, we will throw the pressure cooker off the bridge. There is river water under the bridge, and the damage caused by the explosion will be reduced."

"As for the safety hammer, I tried it before when I took the safety hammer. The safety hammer on the car is easy to remove, and it can break the entire window with very little force. You don't have to keep your hands. Once the glass breaks, throw the pot immediately... "

While the little brother was talking about her plan, Li Shiqing kept looking at the time, and when it was 27 minutes, she had no time to discuss anything with the little brother, so she stood up immediately, walked to the driver, and reminded him to pay attention to the traffic on the road. Motorcycles and tank trucks.

Like many times before, since Li Shiqing is still an "acquaintance" to the uncle, the driver uncle really listened to her words and slowed down, successfully avoiding this tricky intersection.

Seeing that she had successfully passed the intersection, Li Shiqing did not leave the driver's vicinity immediately, but patiently waited until the car slowly drove into the approach bridge before turning her head to look for her companion.

Seeing that the little brother stood up slightly and nodded to her, she took a deep breath and walked firmly in the direction of her aunt.

At the same time, the little brother rushed to the front row in two or three steps, supported the aunt with his arms, and with all his strength, lifted her up and dragged her out of the bus seat!

The aunt who had been sitting upright did not expect such an accident at all. When she screamed and was pulled from the seat by the brother, her first reaction was to try to reach her plastic bag.

However, Li Shiqing didn't give her a chance to touch the plastic bag at all. She had already dragged him out of the pressure cooker the moment the younger brother pulled him out, and carefully carried her out of the reach of the aunt.

The previous few cycles were not useless, at least the skills of "naked twisting" and "throat lock" learned by the glasses brother temporarily, although useless on the masked man, they are useful on the middle-aged aunt Effect.

His right arm tightly strangled the aunt's neck from behind, pressed it with his left arm, and used the strength of his waist and legs at the same time to hold the aunt firmly in place to ensure that she could not struggle.

"Don't touch the pressure cooker, there is a bomb in the pressure cooker!"

The little brother saw someone wanting to stop him, and uttered a stern voice, "No one can touch, or we will all die together!"

The few passengers who were about to step forward were indeed frightened, and their faces changed drastically and they stopped. The area around the pressure cooker instantly seemed to be a restricted area, and everyone stayed away from it in horror.

The little brother's yelling stopped not only the passengers, but also the driver who was driving in front.

The driver didn't know what happened behind, but then the little brother yelled "there is a bomb in the pressure cooker", probably out of fear, the uncle driver stepped on the brake pedal involuntarily, and the bus started to stop. Slow down.

But when the driver slowed down, Li Shiqing, who was originally scheduled to be in charge of knocking on the window, became anxious.

If the car cannot drive on the bridge, the bomb cannot be thrown into the water. If there is no river water to buffer the impact of the bomb, the result is likely to cause casualties.

"Uncle, don't slow down, keep driving onto the bridge!"

Li Shiqing yelled, and quickly took off the safety hammer, and knocked vigorously on several stress points on the car window.

As the little brother said, with every strike of the safety hammer, snow-like shattering marks appeared on the glass surface of the car window, which spread like spider webs, and soon the entire window glass was densely covered with cracks. One tap and it all shatters!

Just when the little brother gradually showed joy, and was about to wait for his companion to lose the pot according to the original agreement, a sudden change occurred!

The aunt who had been strangled by the younger brother and struggling fiercely, took out a fruit knife from some pocket, and stabbed the younger brother's waist viciously with her backhand!

The little brother didn't expect that the aunt still carried the "murder weapon" with her, and the knife stabbed firmly on his right waist, causing him to shrink from the pain, and the strength of trapping her was also vented.

"You... ah!"

Before he could react, the aunt had already broken free from his shackles, turned her head, drew her knife and stabbed again!

Unexpectedly, the little brother was hit by the knife in many places, such as his arm and thigh, and the aunt didn't know whether it was vicious or overly frightened. She held the knife and kept repeating the "stab" movement, the movement was fast and fierce, almost blinking. In a short time, several blood holes appeared on the little brother's body.

Those wounds bleed out together, and the little brother's mind went blank for a moment, looking straight at the blood on his body, as if even the ability to think flowed out of the wounds along with the blood.

Seeing such an appalling "human life" in the car, those who originally thought that the "bomb" was a joke finally became frightened. Suddenly, the car was in chaos, not to mention stepping forward to stop it. A few "lunatics" stayed away from each other and squeezed to the door of the car one after another.

Some of them screamed, some yelled "Kill", and several people insisted on asking the driver to stop and open the door regardless of the cars on the entire bridge.

Li Shiqing was stunned by the sudden change.

"Leave me alone, pot..."

Seeing his companion seemed to be frightened, he shouted weakly, but he was so angry that no one could hear what he was saying except himself.

The aunt with a hideous face had already pushed away the seriously injured brother who had fallen to the ground, and went straight to Li Shiqing with a knife in her hand.

Seeing that the aunt was covered in blood and was coming straight at her like a demon killed from hell, Li Shiqing subconsciously turned around and ran away, still holding the safety hammer tightly in her hand.

Facts have proved that the safety hammer may be useful for knocking on the glass, but it is useless to resist the gangsters with knives. She didn't even take two steps away before being overtaken by the aunt who rushed over like crazy.

"ah!"

The sudden sharp pain from the back made Li Shiqing's whole body stiff, and then her scalp felt pulled by some kind of force.

She was grabbed by her ponytail and had to gasp for air and was forced to turn her head back. The short but sharp fruit knife was already stuck in her throat.

A face with a distorted expression suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Help, help..."

The companion failed to stop the murderer, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and now he fell into the hands of the gangster again. Li Shiqing was frightened and collapsed, tears and snot flowed out together.

Who can come and save her...

The aunt's eyes were insensitive from the beginning to the end. Even if she put a knife on the neck of a girl, her expression was similar to that of an ordinary housewife who was about to kill chickens and let blood before cooking.

Wait, killing chickens and bleeding? !

This idea just popped into Li Shiqing's mind, and the fear in her heart finally reached its peak at this moment...

With a chill in her throat, she completely lost consciousness.
