Chapter 58: Undeliverable Express (15)

Views:

Of course you don't know anything.

You are just a pitiful ordinary person trapped in the same day, and you are not a prophet. How could you know what happened to Xiao Heyun in the afternoon

You only just heard from the police officer that the bus he was on exploded.

Reminiscent of the accident you saw when the bus collided with the tanker truck on your first cycle, you gasp and suddenly understand why the express delivery cannot be delivered every afternoon.

If that Xiao Heyun is on a bus that will eventually have an accident, how can you deliver a courier to a dead person

In an instant, your heart is dark.

You're just a veteran, not a special soldier, and things like bomb disposal are beyond your capabilities, and you don't even know what happened.

If it takes delivery to stop the loop, then you may not have any hope of stopping the loop at all.

Of course, Lao Zhang would not believe any "prophets", but he thought that you prevented Xiao Heyun from going out, and you let the police go to Qin Rourou's house to save the children. There was a certain connection. He even went to question the caught Air conditioner, try to find a connection between you.

But no matter how Lao Zhang tried his best to investigate, he couldn't find any suspicion or motive of your involvement, let alone any connection between them.

He asked you repeatedly for a long time, and found that you really don't know anything, so you can only return without success. He is burdened with the heavy responsibility of investigating the bombing case, so he can't stay with you for too long. He can only let other people continue to ask you, while he handles matters related to the bombing case.

You broke the door of someone else's house, and you were supposed to receive a security punishment. Adding to Xiao Heyun's incident, you were locked up for a day and a night, and spent the most difficult night in the police station since you were reincarnated.

When you woke up again, you wiped your face decadently, stood in front of the mirror of the sink, and looked at yourself carefully.

You have extremely short shaved hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face. Although you have retired from active service for a while, your skin is still the same wheat color as in the army, and it does not belong to the most sought after "little fresh meat" nowadays. Just looking very spiritual.

Originally, when you wake up early every morning, what you see in the mirror should indeed be a face full of energy.

But now, your eyes are filled with exhaustion.

When you first cycled, you had no expectations in your heart, and you didn’t know much about everything, so you can still keep your original intentions, deliver express day after day, and even find it interesting.

Now you already have a girl you care about in your heart, and what you think about in your mind is the established goal. You have too many things you want to do with the girl you care about, and these things require you to have " tomorrow".

So you can't choose to take the risk.

You have thought about whether the bombing could have been stopped if you called the police directly, but you don't know if you can win the trust of the police and whether you will be arrested as an accomplice or a suspect.

You have considered whether you should get on the No. 45 bus and find a way to stop the bombing, but you have been locked up in the police station for a day, neither knowing who is the carrier of the bomb, nor how many criminals are on the bus. There is no way to stop it.

What's more, you dare not bet that you will be "resurrected" the next day after your death. If you die during the process of stopping the bombing, you are really dead. There is no tomorrow at all

You start to feel anxious, confused, and the inner world is at war with man. Your sense of morality and your rationality are pulling each other. One side tells you that you should try to save the people in the car, and the other side tells you that you should choose to be wise and protect yourself. , but there is a high probability of death in the car.

Because of such a burden in your heart, your state after going out can be called "destroyed". When you bought breakfast to cross the road for the homeless elderly, you were almost hit by a car.

"Young man, didn't you sleep well last night?"

The old man who took the earlier one looked at you a few times and saw the key at a glance.

"What's on your mind?"

You nodded with a wry smile.

"Young people are so nice. There are so many things to think about. Unlike me, I just wait for the day when I kick my legs and go to heaven to live a good life."

He sighed while nibbling on pancakes.

"When I was young, I didn't do too many things that should be done. When I get older, I can only regret it. But what's the use of regretting, time goes by and it won't come back..."

"If time goes by, will it come back?"

You mutter to yourself.

"God will not give people such good things casually, otherwise everyone will have the opportunity to correct their own mistakes, and the world will be in chaos." The old man curled his lips, "For example, I didn't work hard back then and lost my job. A hard-working person took over. If time goes back and I don’t quit my job, it will be the turn of the hard-working person who replaced me. He may be changed in his whole life. Do you think it makes sense?”

You didn't expect a down-and-out old man who had been homeless for half his life to say such words, and you were stunned.

"Who hasn't thought about going back to the past? Everyone has thought about it. Everyone's personality determines what kind of path he takes. I am such a person. Even if I don't fall in this pit, I will fall in the next pit. I can't hide." You can't hide, and it's useless to start over again. God counts everything, the road is your own, and you can choose what you want to live, so don't mess around!"

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.

You were silent for a while, not knowing how to respond.

"Forget it, my brain is not very good, I talk inconsequentially, don't listen to me, what I say is nonsense!" The old man raised his head, "A kind-hearted person like you must be blessed by heaven, unlike me .”

You left the old man and called the aid station on the corner where he couldn't see.

On the way to the business point, you have been thinking about what the old man said, especially the theory that "if everyone can correct their own mistakes, the world will be messed up".

You don't know that changing the fate of the elderly, Qin Rourou and the children will mess up the world, but you know that if you don't save them, your conscience will be "messed up".

You arrived at the business point, took over the work arranged today, and then delivered the express as quickly as possible.

After you delivered the express delivery in the morning, you didn't choose to go back, but went to knock on the door of Qin Rourou's house.

"who is it?"

Did not receive the courier call in advance, Qin Rourou was wary of you, a stranger, and asked you why you came through the door.

Your heart is sour, and you suddenly feel that even if you die like this, it is actually not a bad thing.

The thing you were most worried about when you started the cycle, still happened.

"My name is Song Budao. I am 23 years old. I joined the army at the age of 18. I have been serving in the army. I just came to this city at the beginning of this year. Now I am a courier..."

The favorability level was "cleared" again, Qin Rourou knew nothing about you, you leaned against the closed door frame, lowering your eyes to introduce your origin.

"Your name is Qin Rourou. You are from city S. You graduated from xx University. You are now a screenwriter. Your biggest hobby is watching movies. There are thousands of movies in your computer. Your favorite movie is "The Shawshank Redemption". The director is Christopher Nolan. There is a cat named Pippi at home, which was given to you by a classmate of the university when they left this city after graduation... "

The door was opened with a "bang", and that familiar figure appeared in front of you. At this moment, she was wrapped in that warm woolen shawl, staring at you with wide-eyed eyes.

You stood up straight while leaning against the door frame, and seeing her eyes full of fear, you could only squeeze out a mild smile, and comforted her softly:

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a strange person, you told me this..."

You sigh.

"However, it's you from other timelines."

The girl once again showed you her amazing tolerance. Hearing such weird words, she neither closed the door immediately and called the police, nor treated you as a lunatic or a stalker.

"What are you talking about? Can you explain more clearly?"

She pursed her lips, with a bit of surprise and curiosity, and asked you.

So you stood at the door of her house and told the story between you and her concisely, and then told you the little thing she told you about the secret love.

You didn't talk about the past between you and her that you can't stop thinking about.

You didn’t mention how you changed from buying clothes with you to helping her carry bags, and you didn’t mention those gluttonous feasts and roadside stalls, and you didn’t mention the amusement park where the moonlight is shining tonight, and the training center with a promising future .

You crushed the little deer that was thumping in your heart to death, and lowered your head slightly, not wanting her to see more things in your eyes.

If you are destined to have no tomorrow, why bother people

You tell weird stories about yourself like a friend visiting another friend.

After hearing what you said, she blushed and took a step back.

"Okay, I believe it 80%, you come in and talk first."

Probably because she thought it was too strange to stand at the door and listen to such a story from a stranger, she let you in again.

Once again you worry about her kindness and warmth.

If there is no you in other timelines, can she still escape the doomed catastrophe

You thought about it, and suddenly felt relieved.

If you "disappeared" in other timelines, the other couriers who delivered cat litter might not call at that time in the afternoon, let alone deliver it upstairs, and she might have avoided disaster instead.

After all, she would easily open the door only because of your promise.

It's all God's will.

You closed your eyes and smiled bitterly.

"If what you said is true, is it the same as before when you come to me today?"

Qin Rourou brought a cup of hot milk and handed it to you.

"Do you want me to eat with you today, or go out with you?"

"neither."

You take the mug and hold it in your hand.

Lifting your head, you look into her eyes seriously, as if you want to keep it firmly in mind.

"I came here hoping to get your help."

"ah?"

Qin Rourou is a little confused.

"Can you ride a battery car? Do you have a driver's license?"

you asked suddenly.

"Huh? Yes, yes, and I have a driver's license."

Qin Rourou is still in a state of confusion.

"That's good."

You breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain.

"It's like this. At two o'clock this afternoon, I have something very important to do, which may delay my delivery. Besides, there is another thing in the afternoon, and someone must stop it..."

You talked about the little friend who fell from upstairs.

"I'm alone, it's impossible to appear on the east side all at once, and on the west side at once, it's a bit embarrassing to say, but..."

Holding the mug in your hand, you asked shyly, "Can you please deliver a courier for me in the afternoon, and save that child by the way?"

Hearing your request, Qin Rourou was dumbfounded.

"Send, send a courier?"

Qin Rourou scratched her face, "It's okay, but I haven't delivered it before, maybe I don't have much experience, maybe the delivery is not good, maybe it will hold you back..."

"It doesn't matter, if you can send a few, I will leave you the ID card and work mobile phone. Anyway, it will be repeated every day. If the delivery is not good today, I will give it back tomorrow."

You looked at her with a particularly sincere expression, "There is also that child, you must not pick it up by yourself, the first time I picked it up, my hands were broken, you are so thin, maybe you were smashed even worse. Just go upstairs and tell your family that it’s not safe for him to play on the windowsill, and I’ll tell you the approximate time.”

"Ah? Okay, okay, then I'll change clothes and get the express delivery with you."

She entered the bedroom with a dazed face.

Seeing that she agreed, you breathed a sigh of relief.

In the process of getting along with her, you find that she is a person with strong mobility. Often, her body starts to act before her mind reacts. This is especially obvious when getting along with you. For example, you are still talking Amusement park, the next moment she has bought tickets...

So you only need to tell her your request and get her consent, and she will follow up immediately.

And your purpose is not to get her to deliver the courier, but just to get her out of the house.

The bombing happened at 1:45 p.m., but the air conditioner had just arrived at that time. You promised her that you would come to rescue her every time, but this time I am afraid you will break your promise.

So, you hope she's in a safe place and you don't know it's going to happen to you.

You take her downstairs after changing clothes, tell her that your task is very heavy, and she is a newcomer, it is best not to go back at noon, you call the master and tell the master that you will not go back for lunch, and then invite her to eat outside During lunch, you told her the delivery process.

After receiving the master's call, she followed your courier car to the outside of the company, and you asked her to wait for a while at the milk tea shop next to the company before returning to the business site.

You received the package sorted in the afternoon, and drove the express car to the milk tea shop to pick her up.

She is very smart, and quickly learned to drive your battery car. You entrusted her with everything, told her to be careful on the road, it doesn't matter if you slow down, and then took out Xiao Heyun's courier from the courier.

"If things go well, I will come to this milk tea shop to meet you at five o'clock in the afternoon."

You hugged the courier and said to the girl who made your heart beat, "If things don't go well and you don't make it back, you can drive the car to my courier point and give it to my master, his surname is Ding."

"What are you... going to do?"

Qin Rourou felt uneasy, and suddenly grabbed your arm.

"Why can't you come back?"

"It's not a big deal, it's also an express delivery, but it's far away."

You shook the express box in your hand.

"Didn't I guess that all the couriers must be delivered to end the cycle? This courier is the most troublesome one, and it can't be delivered every time, so I made a special trip to deliver it this time."

Qin Rourou frowned, and let go of her hand suspiciously.

After all, no matter how bizarre the matter is, you are still a stranger to her. After you explain it like this, she will not continue to ask questions out of concern for acquaintances or friends.

"goodbye."

Seeing her let go of her hand, you suddenly felt sad, but instead, you stepped forward and hugged her gently.

"Hope you're having a good time."

happy every day.

She struggles uncomfortably, and you immediately let go of her and turn to leave.

You've said good-bye to her.

After you separated from Qin Rourou, you took off your uniform, bought a mask and put it on, then found a newsstand you knew, paid the phone bill, and called the police from a public phone.

You accidentally discovered this newspaper kiosk some time ago. The owner of the kiosk is a very old man. He not only sells newspapers and books, but also keeps landlines, which have been phased out, and provides convenient services such as public phones and fast charging of battery cars.

You informed about the bombing that was going to happen at 1:45. After hearing your news, the police attached great importance to it and repeatedly asked about the details. Hastily hung up the phone.

The old man at the newsstand looks at you in panic, you drop a dollar coin and leave in a hurry.

After passing this intersection, you hail a taxi and go straight to the last stop before the No. 45 bus goes to the bridge.

Due to the particularity of the bombing, neither the police nor the media disclosed much information, and you didn’t pay much attention to the news in every cycle before, so now you don’t know the specific license plate of the car that had the accident Number.

But you know when things go wrong.

The explosion was in the center of the bridge at 1:45, and it took about 25 minutes for two stops on both sides of the bridge. You count the time to go up the approach bridge, and calculate the result through the mobile phone map: - the last stop to the center of the bridge takes 15-18 minutes by bus Or so, you just need to squat here, and the No. 45 bus that arrives at this bus stop at around 1:25 is probably the one that got into the accident.

Bus No. 45 runs every fifteen minutes. You squat on the platform, anxiously looking at every bus coming along Jiang Road.

You have two plans.

The first plan is that after the car arrives, you get in the car as quickly as possible, and then pull Xiao Heyun down. If he is not willing to go down, use violence to bring him down.

Officer Zhang showed you a photo of Xiao Heyun, and his appearance is very obvious, you can definitely recognize him.

When you get off the car, you ask him to sign the courier, and at most you will be scolded or beaten to vent your anger.

If time is too late, you are ready to implement the second plan and stay in the car to help.

From Police Officer Zhang, you know that Xiao Heyun had mediated with the gangsters and tried to stop the bombing from happening, but he was single-handedly weak and unfortunately died in the end. You are thinking that you are from the army anyway, if there are more of you in the car This helper may be of some use.

Of course, he had to sign for the courier first.

You waited nervously and fearfully for the arrival of the bus, and even the corners of the courier box you held in your arms were bent by your nervousness.

At about 1:20, a qualified bus drove towards this direction. You looked at the time, and it was unlikely that there would be a second No. 45 bus within this time frame, so I hugged the courier The box hurried a few steps towards the front of the bus stop.

You are going to wait for the bus to open, and run to it immediately.

However, this bus is so fast that it doesn't stop at this station at all, just pass you by, let alone open the door.

You subconsciously chased him out and ran wildly after the bus.

Vaguely, you can see two people standing by the back window. A man is holding something in his hand, and his arm is around a woman's neck. His posture is a bit like the hostage-taking that often appears in movies.

Is that the gangster

The car drove faster and faster. You had already boarded the approach bridge and headed straight for the bridge. After chasing you, you gradually lost your strength. After eating a lot of car exhaust, you failed to keep up with the car, and collapsed beside the bridge pier from exhaustion.

You look at the bus going away, at a loss.
