The following is the almost blackened version of Li Shiqing. If you like the kind heroine after reading the previous chapter, you can skip it. It is considered a branch. Both chapters end the same way, both get off the bus.
"Damn, it's almost there!"
Even the younger brother, who has always been a gentleman, couldn't help swearing when he woke up again.
"It turns out that the ringtone is a timing device? Or is it a kind of detonation method?"
The feeling of failing at the door is really bad, even the little brother who has always been peaceful can't accept it.
Li Shiqing's situation is not much better.
Just like before, this time the pressure cooker exploded while she was holding it. When the explosion happened, she was completely dead on the spot. When she woke up, she couldn't feel the existence of her hands at all.
But what is more unacceptable than the physical pain is the sudden "rebellion" of the driver uncle at the end.
Li Shiqing never doubted the driver uncle, not even once.
She is not from the city. She came to this city alone to go to school. In order to save more pocket money, like most college students, she usually chooses to take the bus when she goes out.
Her family has a car. Before she went to college, her parents drove her to pick up and drop her off when she went to distant places, and walked or rode bicycles for those not far away.
Learning to take a bus and watch the bus routes is something that happens after you come to this city.
Because the school is on this line, the route 45 is the one she takes the most. The driver she has met the most on this line is this uncle driver.
When she first started learning to ride the bus, she often had various problems. Sometimes she passed the stop, sometimes she took the wrong direction, and sometimes she kindly gave up her seat to an elderly person but was robbed by a young person...
Many times, it was only with the patient help of this kind-hearted uncle driver that she was able to reach her destination successfully.
It was the driver uncle who made her fall in love with this humane city and take the bus in this city.
Unlike the lifeless subway or the monotonous and boring taxi, taking the bus is so much more fun.
She likes its low fare, likes to watch the city scenery outside the car window in the bright and clean carriage, and likes to measure every inch of the city in this way;
She likes to listen to local people chatting loudly in dialect in the car, and likes the short-term fate between people every time they get on and off the car, and also likes to spend this simple and full of life with many different people in the car. dozens of minutes.
Every time she gets in the car, as long as there are not many people in the car, she likes to sit behind the uncle driver, and chat with him from time to time, sometimes even without talking, just sitting in the seat behind him feels at ease.
As long as you smile and beg the uncle when you get on the bus, you don't have to worry about passing the stop at all.
Although Li Shiqing had never told the driver uncle, she was full of gratitude to this kind uncle from the bottom of her heart, and always wanted to say "thank you" to him.
Thank him for his kind guidance and selfless help when I first arrived in this city and felt helpless;
I also thank him for reminding him every time he arrives at the station, and for maintaining when there is friction with people.
When the "bus circulation" incident began, she tried to get the driver to stop, make the driver turn around, and even create various incidents to persuade him, but every time the uncle insisted on sending the passengers to the bus station instead of turning the bus drove away.
At that time, she was still worried about his being too "professional".
It's not that her companion didn't question the uncle driver.
As soon as the incident happened, he insinuated and asked the driver if his mental condition was not good enough to cause the accident.
— That time, she explained to the uncle and dispelled his doubts;
He questioned whether the driver would have dropped a car of passengers and escaped or simply didn't believe what they said.
— It was she who vetoed his guess very positively, and even said "he is not that kind of person".
It was because of her blind trust in the uncle, and because she was too confident in her own judgment, that she insisted on choosing this "pass way" that she felt was "the least difficult"...
The result fell short.
The driver really isn't the type to leave a car behind and run away, what he wants... is for no one to get out of the car.
"Why is this happening..." Li Shiqing fell into deep disbelief and suspicion, and said to herself, "...Why did the driver do this?!"
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't connect the vicious "gangster" with the kind and friendly uncle driver.
"No matter why, it is now certain that the driver and the crazy aunt are accomplices. The 'Wang Xingde' that the aunt shouted hysterically before may be the driver's name..."
There was a sudden change at the door, and the little brother was in a bad mood, but fortunately, he didn't know the driver at first, and he didn't suffer too much.
"What can we do? There are only two of us, and we need to subdue two people?"
"Then try again!"
After the initial shock and disbelief, the failure of such success has aroused Li Shiqing's fighting spirit even more.
Compared with being smeared around the neck by a vicious aunt, this feeling of being "betrayed" when you trust someone so much is even more infuriating.
"The driver also has a problem, even the driver stopped him! The driver won't open the door for us, so we have to find a way to open the door! One or two people can't help, so three, four, and five people!"
Li Shiqing's eyes seemed to be on fire.
"I don't believe it anymore. I know who the real culprit is, where the bomb is, and how it exploded. We still can't find a way to solve it!"
This kind of Li Shiqing is really scary, there is an aura of "don't mess with me" all over his body, so gloomy that even the little brother has no reason to sink his heart.
But now that the arrow is on the line, it really has to be done. For a while, the little brother didn't think of any better way to control the driver and the aunt at the same time, so he followed Li Shiqing's idea and continued to try again.
Just like last time, they each took a note to persuade others to help, because this time they also had to subdue a "driver". It was no longer enough just to rely on the masked man and the uncle with the bag, but the bus was basically full of old men. Weak, sick, and disabled, they had no choice but to take another younger middle-aged man in the car, "Uncle Key", as a candidate, hoping to get his help.
Unexpectedly, after "Uncle Key" saw what was written on the note, not only did he not agree to help them, but he even ran out of the car when he stopped at the next stop along Jiangdong Road normally.
"... What, what should I do?"
The little brother who has successfully persuaded the uncle with the bag and the masked man was dumbfounded, "We won't have more 'companions' in the next cycle, right?"
"This kind of coward can also be called a companion?"
After repeated failures, Li Shiqing was completely immersed in anger and unwillingness. He was immediately laughed out of anger when he heard what the little brother said, "A person like Uncle Key can only be regarded as an 'oil bottle' at best?"
At this point, if she and her little brother are not crazy, they are already considered good, and they can still take care of saving people, so they can be regarded as "Holy Mothers".
Li Shiqing watched the key uncle get out of the car indifferently, his eyes were cold.
He wanted to get off the car at his own risk, even if he also entered the cycle, he couldn't blame them.
— It wasn't that they dragged him into this kind of "hell" that was worse than death, it was all his own choice.
Can't find any other reliable help, but the time is still going on, the two of them can only grit their teeth, and successfully subdue the aunt according to the previous method.
However, at the moment when the younger brother smashed the window with the safety hammer, the aunt who was pinned to the ground screamed. Li Shiqing was already prepared to rush at the uncle, but she did not go faster than the driver.
The driver who was driving immediately kicked the accelerator and hit the cross-river bridge.
The pressure cooker exploded violently the moment the bus hit the water.
After waking up again, Li Shiqing took a deep breath, and the first thing she did was to go to see the key uncle who got off the car.
In the new cycle, the uncle sat quietly in the car, he didn't look panicked in the previous cycle, and he didn't even know that there was a bomb in the car.
"Uncle also got off the car last time, why didn't he enter the cycle?"
After the severe headache passed, the little brother also began to look at the uncle, and asked wonderingly: "Isn't getting out of the car the reason for entering the cycle?"
"Don't think about it, there is no time, now is not the time to think about it!"
Li Shiqing looked away silently, not sure if she was relieved or disappointed.
"Since you don't have to worry about someone getting into the loop, let's try to get a few more people to help!"
This time, they showed the note to all the passengers in the car. No matter how many people can help, as long as there is one more helper, one more person is more strength.
However, this time, more passengers got off at the "East Yanjiang Road Station".
All the old men and women who trembled when they got in the car and couldn't walk steadily, but ran fast without looking back when they got out of the car, and the key uncle even pushed down a gray-haired old man when he got out of the car. The look of righteousness and Lingran when he knocked down the little brother.
In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the car full of passengers.
Li Shiqing's face was terribly dark.
But there was a passenger who didn't know what was going on, so he just left, and when he got off the car, he even yelled into the car:
"Run! There's a lunatic with a knife in the car!"
So this cycle is the shortest cycle they have ever experienced.
Almost as soon as he finished shouting, the bomb in the car exploded.
Waking up from the cycle again, the two of them couldn't even get up to "work".
"What do you think we are working so hard for?"
Thinking of the reason for the inexplicable "sudden death" of the last cycle, the little brother said wearily, "Don't talk about hard work, I died over and over again, the passengers in the car, except for an uncle who was hired to help with money, and a hesitant No one in the mask dared to take the risk to help, it's fine if you don't help, and you have to hold back... "
"Then don't ask them to help."
With a cold face, Li Shiqing gritted her teeth and said, "We don't want the help of those old men and old ladies. Let's call the police."
This time around, they called the police right from the start.
But time was too short. Even if the police arrived as soon as they received the call, they would not be able to get on the bus disguised as ordinary people at the last stop. They could only block the bridge halfway to evacuate passing vehicles to avoid greater casualties.
Li Shiqing and the little brother did not expect that the final result of calling the police was that this bus was driving alone on the empty road...
Seeing that the road on the bridge was blocked by a roadblock, the aunt in the car gave a strange smile and opened the pressure limiting valve.
"It's not a problem to die like this..."
After dying several times, the little brother came to his senses and stopped Li Shiqing's behavior of "mechanically saving and reading files".
"We can't stop the uncle and the aunt at the same time, so why not try to 'destroy each of them'."
"Break each one?"
After trying so many times, there was no result. Everything seemed to be back to the original point. Li Shiqing was already very tired. Even if the younger brother proposed a new plan, he could not cheer up at all.
"Didn't you say that you are very familiar with the driver uncle? Why don't you go and check the driver uncle's tone and see if there is any way to 'instigate' him."
Brother, this is also an "expedient policy" under no other means.
He pushed up his glasses.
"This uncle has been running on this line for so long, there must be some reason to assist the aunt to do this kind of thing? Maybe it was coerced, maybe it was caught, or it was emotional entanglement or something. Find out the source, If we solve the problem, we may be able to win over the driver.”
To be honest, Li Shiqing felt resentful towards the uncle's "betrayal".
But in the bottom of her heart, she also had some expectations, hoping that the uncle would choose to do this because of "difficulties", rather than purely being a bad person.
Li Shiqing still remembered that uncle's look.
A person with such guilty and painful eyes should not be a cold killing machine.
After hesitating for a while, Li Shiqing looked at Uncle Chin who was driving ahead, and gritted her teeth.
"good!"
She pretended to stretch her muscles and bones in the car, walked to the driver's side without any trace, and started her own temptation.
"Uncle, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Li Shiqing pretended to be joking and said, "I think you seem to be very lethargic today."
"ah?"
The driver glanced at her and uncharacteristically didn't answer.
It got stuck at the beginning, but Li Shiqing was not discouraged, and continued to inquire, "Uncle, is he tired from driving like this every day? How do you solve the problem of lunch at noon? Do you want to go home and eat?"
"Eat whatever you want."
The driver said casually.
"Huh? No one delivers food? I thought you all had someone deliver food. Won't your wife and children help deliver food?"
Li Shiqing wanted to start with his family situation.
After all, if you are coerced, the most common situation is that your family members are kidnapped.
However, the chat got stuck again, and the driver uncle chose to remain silent when he heard Li Shiqing's words, as if obviously distracted.
"Uncle Driver..."
Li Shiqing wanted to ask again, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a dirt truck coming in front of her, and her expression changed suddenly.
"Uncle driver, uncle, pay attention to the car in front!"
boom!
The moment the bus collided with the muck truck, scorching air blasted everyone.
"He doesn't take my word for it."
After waking up again, Li Shiqing looked at the scenery outside the car window, feeling an urge to crash headfirst into it.
"Every time a key issue is raised, he is silent."
She really didn't want to go on anymore.
So be it, what to do, what to do, what to do, the passengers in this car are nothing worth saving anyway.
From the innocence at the beginning, to the guilt and sense of responsibility towards my little brother, to the excitement after the plan was perfected step by step, and finally to the attempt not to hit the wall and not look back, Li Shiqing felt that she had put all the enthusiasm, Both stoicism and passion burned out.
But even at this point, there is still no possibility of breaking the game.
How to control a driver who is driving
His feet were on the gas and brake, his hands were on the steering wheel, the doors were hydraulic and pneumatic, and if he didn't open them, they couldn't open them with all their might.
When the emergency door opening device was "betrayed" by the driver and exploded, the mask boy tried it, and it was basically broken.
The lives of the people in the car were already in the hands of the driver, not to mention that there was a scary old woman with a bomb in the car who was watching him covetously.
The little brother is also very tired, his whole head seems to be exploding, and all plans have become muddled, and he can't even think calmly.
Two young men who were physically and mentally exhausted collapsed on the seats, like two salted fish thrown into the car.
After being paralyzed for a while, the familiar sound of "Yanjiang East Road Station" came to my ears again.
"No matter, get out of the car first!"
The little brother wiped his face and jumped up.
Under Li Shi's sullen eyes, the little brother pulled up his companion.
"Since you can't break the game in the car, then get out of the car and find a way!"
He led Li Shiqi to the back door, and held her wrist tightly.
"Don't think about it yet, get out of the car and relax!"
