The sleeping Mark woke up again, his mind buzzed, and it took him a while to recover.
He appeared on bus No. 45 again, making Mark feel that he could not continue to test like this blindly. He needed to collect more clues before he could find a solution.
I have been in the cycle like this. Although I may find explosives and can know who brought them, if I don’t know why the other party did this and whether there are any accomplices, this will not solve the problem at all.
The several consecutive cycles made Mark feel a sense of urgency, afraid that this might be the last cycle. Because this was Mark's ninth cycle and Li Shiqing's tenth cycle.
And the last time, Xiao Heyun didn't remember what they had seen, which means that people who entered the cycle may be able to leave the cycle or cannot enter the cycle again.
If you cannot enter the loop again and find the key to the problem, then everyone in this car will die, and Mark is likely to die in this world.
After he got up, he came directly to Li Shiqing and pushed her, asking her to wake up as soon as possible.
After Li Shiqing woke up, she found that she was still in the car, and Xiao Heyun beside her was still sleeping.
She tried to wake Xiao Heyun up, but Mark stopped her and said, "Let's get off the car first!"
Seeing Mark's serious expression, although Li Shiqing was puzzled, she saw that the bus arrived at Yanjiang East Road Station and got off with Mark.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw the young man sitting in the back row just getting in the car.
Li Shiqing wanted to stop him, but found that the bus had closed and drove away.
She knew that the explosion would definitely happen, so she took out her cell phone and called the police.
"Hey, there is a bomb on the No. 45 bus, the license plate number is Jia A77651. I just left Yanjiang East Road Station and now I am about to open the Cross-River Bridge."
Mark did not look at Li Shi's information about the police, but instead looked at the people in the car, trying to find something wrong.
"I was in the car just now. You believe me. All I told is the truth. Stop asking, it's too late."
After she hung up the phone, she looked at Mark in confusion and asked, "Did you say they were there?"
Mark looked at the time and said, "It must be too late. Maybe it's time to collect the body, but it's not enough time to stop the explosion."
"Why? Didn't you say that the police can arrive in about five minutes?"
Mark looked at her and said, "Five minutes is the ideal situation. This also eliminates traffic jams on the road or traffic lights. If you want to stop the bus from continuing to drive, the police need to act together on both sides of the bridge, but without knowing that, they don't have time to make these arrangements."
"Why did you let me get out of the car? Can't we check in the car anymore?"
Mark looked at Li Shiqing seriously, "Do you remember Xiao Heyun's performance during the last cycle?"
"I remember, he didn't seem to know us at all. Do you think he pretended, or do you really don't remember us?"
"When you talk to him, I have noticed his expression. It doesn't look like he is lying. It seems that I really don't remember us anymore."
When Li Shiqing heard the news, she couldn't help but say in surprise: "Then do you mean that Xiao Heyun has gotten rid of the cycle?"
Mark shook his head and said, "No, we are still in the loop, how could he get rid of it? It's just that he no longer has the memory of the previous loop."
"When we haven't investigated why Xiao Heyun lost his previous memory, we can't guarantee whether we still remember the cycle next time we wake up."
Li Shiqing's face changed when she heard this. She knew very well what would be waiting for her if she didn't remember the cycle.
"You mean..."
"Yes, if we can't find out what's going on as soon as possible, maybe the next time will be our last cycle and we will inevitably go to a dead end."
"So we can't take the risk now, and try to find more clues in this cycle, investigating that there is not a single passenger in the car."
When Li Shiqing heard Mark say this, she nodded and said, "Then what should we do?"
"Your phone will turn off first!"
"Why?"
"You called the police just now, which will make the police wonder why you knew there were bombs in the car, and we don't have time to waste it explaining the situation to them."
Li Shiqing said disagree: "But if the police help, can we investigate this matter more quickly?"
"you……"
When Mark heard Li Shiqing say this, he felt extremely tired. She was too naive. If the bus was a traffic accident, then her phone number would be a prank at most.
But if it exploded on the Cross-River Bridge, why did Li Shiqing know that there were bombs and who brought them with them? Questions such as this would follow one after another, and they were not given time to investigate.
Now is not the time to talk about this. They must leave as soon as possible and gain more time to sort out clues.
This time the get-off is also a test. If they get through today, it means they have gotten out of the cycle.
If they continue to enter the loop today, Mark guessed that they had a high chance of remembering what happened before.
The reason why Xiao Heyun has no memory of circulation is definitely because he didn't get off the car last time. As for why he and Li Shiqing still have memories, it may be related to their first entry into the cycle.
Mark guessed that the cycle also needed to follow a certain degree of energy conservation. As for why Xiao Heyun's memory of the last cycle, he thought that when Xiao Heyun got off the bus for the first time, he was pulled out by Mark. Later, Mark grabbed him and said he was a pervert.
Perhaps it is because of physical contact that the energy of the circulating is transmitted to Xiao Heyun, so that he can get rid of the circulating in a short time.
However, during the eighth cycle, Li Shiqing and Mark argued about the police station, and did not contact Xiao Heyun throughout the whole process, and the circulation energy did not connect Xiao Heyun, so he lost the memory of the circulation on the tenth time.
Although it is not very certain whether this is the case, the current information tells Mark that what he guessed is probably the truth.
He turned his head and looked at Li Shiqing who was following behind. As the protagonist of the plot, her body had the most cycle energy. If she didn't show up, Xiao Heyun might be the male protagonist. The cycle energy on her body was associated with Li Shiqing, and they solved the case together or got rid of the cycle.
But after he came, because Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing had very little contact, he did not get in touch with the circulating energy in disguise, so he did not enter the circulating again.
"mark!"
Mark pretended to answer the phone and said, "Don't call me my name. We'll find a place with fewer people later, let's talk about it."
Although Li Shiqing was puzzled, she still did what Mark said, "No, why is this?"
"You called the police, and the police will definitely come to you to ask about the situation. I don't want to waste time at the police station. I have to find some information by myself."
"What are you going to do?"
Li Shiqing knew that she had done bad things with kindness, but she did not regret it at all, because the education from childhood to adulthood told him who is the person who can rely on the most.
"wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
Marx thoughtfully said: "Wait for media news, see who the victims of this explosion are, and then find out more information about them and find out who is most likely to carry the bomb. In addition, I also need to determine whether we have gotten out of the cycle."
"What did you say? Get out of the cycle?"
He gave Li Shiqing a blank look, and Mark looked around carefully. No one else saw it, and there was no surveillance.
"Why do you want everyone to hear it? I'm just guessing that the reason for this cycle is the same, but there are two possibilities for ending the cycle. One is to get off the bus after arriving at the station, so that you can get rid of the cycle. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, to stop the bus from exploding."
"Actually, after getting off the car these few times, I have a guess that it's time to verify."
After hearing that Li Shiqing could get rid of the cycle, she felt no joy in her heart because she thought of the passengers and drivers who were still on the bus.
Especially the driver, he has helped him. How could such a good person leave like this?
"Then I'm going to call the police even more. Maybe this is their last chance to be saved. I can't stand by death and refuse to save him."
Mark said helplessly: "Miss, I didn't say what you did wrong, but before everything is clear, what we have to do is protect ourselves. Besides, there is not enough time this time."
Li Shiqing said: "Why isn't it enough? I didn't call the police before because we had been wasting too much time, but this time it was different? We called the police after getting off the bus, and it should be time."
"It's still too late. After receiving the notice, the police usually ask the nearby police station to deal with it. However, for such serious cases, they must have been transferred from the criminal investigation of the Municipal Bureau. In this way, it would take more than ten minutes to get from the Municipal Bureau to the Cross-River Bridge, which was too late."
"What should we do? Are we just watching them die like this?"
Li Shiqing couldn't accept this matter. If she survived but others died, she always felt that she owed others a little.
"The same sentence, wait, wait for things to happen, wait until today passes, and see if it is still in the cycle."
When Li Shiqing heard Mark say this, she knew that Mark had no good idea now, so she could only sit on the ground helplessly and wait for the final moment to arrive.
Mark cannot waste time. Based on his memories of the previous cycles, he marked the passengers on the bus one by one, and then found their address and learned more from their colleagues, family and friends.
In fact, the suspect's target is now very small. The main one is the aunt with things in front and the elder brother with suitcase in the middle. Others have relatively fewer suspicions, so they can be investigated slowly in the future.
When Li Shiqing saw Mark being busy, she came over unconsciously and saw him sorting out the passenger list and said, "Why do you doubt this aunt, not others? Especially the little brother sitting behind, he looked very nervous when he got in the car just now."
"You may not have noticed just now that he bumped into someone else in the car and then nervously touched his backpack. But this was not a concern for explosives, but there were things inside that he valued very much. I think it should be a pet or something."
