Isn't this supposed to be an urban drama? Is it really that dangerous? A slight mishap could be fatal. If he hadn't helped Li Shiqing get off the bus, the ending wouldn't just be tragic.

Even if he could do it all over again, Li Mu wouldn't want to go through that.

Looking around again, the explosion was truly devastating. Because the epicenter was near a traffic light where many vehicles were clustered, over a dozen cars were affected.

In minor cases, the glass shattered and the driver was injured; in more serious cases, the car was overturned and burned to wreckage. There were groans of pain everywhere, and the scene was a complete mess.

Li Shiqing was also stunned, staring blankly at the tragic scene. She had just been thankful that she had gotten out of the car, escaping the cycle of death and narrowly escaping death, but she never expected the explosion to still happen.

Thinking of the innocent passengers on the bus and seeing the groans of passersby nearby, Li Shiqing felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat!

She had just been thankful to have escaped the bus and praying that things would pass quickly and not get stuck in this cycle, but now she hesitated.

If she could have continued into the loop, if she could have stopped the explosion, then the tragedy wouldn't have happened, and so many innocent people wouldn't have been injured or killed.

Thinking about this, a surge of emotion welled up inside me, and for a moment I didn't know what to feel.

Her eyes gradually reddened, making her look increasingly pitiful, sad, and helpless.

Li Mu also noticed that something was wrong with her mood.

"what happened?"

"I..." Li Shiqing shook her head, her eyes red-rimmed, unsure of what to say or how to explain. This was too fantastical; it was hard to believe without experiencing it firsthand.

Li Mu took out a tissue from his bag and handed it over.

"Were you scared? Let me wipe it off!"

"Don't be scared, I was startled too. If I remember correctly, only the bus we were on passed by before the explosion. If there are no accidents, the bus that just exploded was the bus we were on."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you, otherwise I would still be in the car now."

Li Shiqing was a little flustered by what he said. She pretended to be sick in the car, but after getting out of the car, she looked extremely excited. However, Li Mu saw through everything.

Such bizarre behavior wouldn't have been a problem if the bus hadn't exploded. But the two of them had just gotten off when the bus exploded; it's really hard to explain why she didn't know something.

Thinking of this, Li Shiqing became even more flustered and hurriedly waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm grateful that I can get off the bus."

Li Mu smiled, then suddenly asked a question that sent a chill down Li Shiqing's spine.

"You were on the bus, why did you pretend to be sick and insist on getting off? Did you sense something was wrong?"

Li Shiqing's heart skipped a beat. She hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I...I..." Her mouth opened for a long time, but she couldn't utter a single word. She didn't know what to say.

Li Mu smiled at her, his face beaming, which made Li Shiqing feel much more relaxed.

"Don't be nervous, I just think it's a bit of a coincidence. We just got off the bus and it exploded."

Li Shiqing quickly waved her hand and protested, "It wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Mu said, "I know it has nothing to do with you. We are both innocent bystanders, and this matter has nothing to do with us."

"I'm just a little curious, you seemed to have foreseen something or discovered something, which is why you were in such a hurry to get off the bus. Can you tell me about it?"

A flicker of fear crossed Li Shiqing's face. The matter was too bizarre; she didn't know what to say.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just asking. It doesn't matter whether you answer or not."

"However, the police must be taking such a big accident very seriously. We didn't get off at the normal stop, and the bus exploded very soon after we got off."

“The police will definitely question us to find out what happened.”

Li Shiqing's eyes widened instantly. Any ordinary person would feel a certain awe towards the police profession, and she was clearly no exception.

The thought of possibly being taken to the police station for questioning made me panic.

He asked nervously, "Then what should we do?"

Li Mu comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, we didn't do anything."

Li Shiqing seemed to have grasped a lifeline and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes... we didn't do anything, it has nothing to do with us."

At this point, he looked troubled and said, "But what should I say if the police ask?"

Li Mu said, "Explain it however you need to. Just tell us what happened in the car. But with such a big deal, the police will definitely focus on the fact that we got out of the car before the explosion. You need to be prepared."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Li Shiqing became even more nervous, realizing that the matter was too difficult to explain.

"What should we do? Won't the police become suspicious?"

Li Mu said, "Do you know something? You can tell me, and we can discuss how to tell the police."

Li Shiqing hesitated for a long time before stammering, "What I'm about to say might not be believed to you, it's too bizarre, but it's true."

Li Mu said, "Go ahead and speak, I'm quite receptive to information."

Li Shiqing said nervously, "I've encountered a loop."

Li Mu: "Loop!"

“Yes, a cycle!” Li Shiqing emphasized.

Chapter 277 Loop

Li Mu nodded: "Could you elaborate? What kind of cycle?"

Li Shiqing's bright eyes showed a hint of fear as she recalled her experience in the car.

"This noon, I took a bus from the school gate to the Sanlian Bookstore in the city center to buy books. I felt sleepy as soon as I got on the bus and fell asleep in a daze."

"I don't know when, but I was woken up by an old-fashioned cell phone ringtone. My mind was foggy at the time, and I felt a bright white light in front of my eyes. It must have been an explosion. After that, I don't know anything else."

"When I woke up again, my mind was a little clearer, and my head hurt a bit. I was so scared that I touched myself, but there was nothing wrong. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I had just had a nightmare."

"But before I could catch my breath, the damn bell rang again."

"Another explosion. This time I was a bit more clear-headed and knew it wasn't fake."

"Then I woke up for the third time. I touched my body and found that I was completely unharmed. I realized that I had encountered a phenomenon that science could not explain. This time I didn't want to be so passive again."

“I went to find the driver and told him I wanted to get off the bus, and that something was going to happen to the bus.”

"Then, the bell rang again, and it exploded again."

"When I woke up for the fourth time, I was scared and my mind was on edge. I wanted to escape from that bus. I tried to open the window, but I couldn't."

"I had no choice but to grab the safety hammer from the car and smash the window. As soon as I picked up the hammer, the car alarm went off, and then that damn bell rang too."

"There wasn't even time to break the window and jump out; it exploded with a bang."

As she spoke, Li Shiqing still had a hint of fear on her face. The two failed escape attempts were unforgettable and left her with lingering fear.

"Then, I woke up for the fifth time, which was just now, and I realized that I couldn't force it."

“You just woke up too. I didn’t look too good at the time. You asked me if I was sick, and I realized that pretending to be sick was a way to get off the bus halfway. I often take this bus and I’m familiar with the driver. He’s a very nice guy, so I started to pretend to be sick. Who knew the auntie would be so kind and even bring medicine.”

"Thank goodness you helped me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get off the bus."

Li Mu said, "Don't be so polite. I was able to get off the train because of you."

Li Shiqing stared at him nervously: "This is my whole experience today, do you believe it?" Her tone was unsure, it was just too bizarre, and couldn't be explained by science at all.

To his surprise, Li Mu nodded and said, "I believe you."

Li Shiqing was taken aback: "You really believe that?"

Li Mu retorted, "Did you lie to me?"

Li Shiqing said, "No, everything I said is true."

Li Mu said, "Then I believe you."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "Have you seen the foreign movie Groundhog Day? It's very similar to what you described, with the same thing repeating itself endlessly."

Li Shiqing shook her head.

Li Mu said, "You can take a look when you have time."

Li Shiqing sighed, "Given the current situation, do I even have a chance to see it? I might be taken away by the police for investigation at any time."

Li Mu said, "You can see it anytime you want. I can go with you in a bit."

At this moment, a large number of police cars and ambulances rushed to the scene. Seeing the police cars and thinking that she might be asked to go in for investigation, Li Shiqing's mind was in turmoil.

"If the police ask me to investigate and ask why I got off the bus midway, how should I explain it?"

Li Mu said, "Just say what you need to say. Didn't you say in the car that you weren't feeling well and needed to get off the bus midway to go to the hospital? Tell the police the same thing."

Li Shiqing nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "What if the police investigate and find out I didn't go to the hospital at all? What should we do then?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "How about I go to the hospital with you?"

Li Shiqing said embarrassedly, "But I'm not sick. What if I go to the hospital and they find out?"

Li Mu said, "The police probably won't investigate that thoroughly, and it won't be that easy to expose them. Just go to the hospital, register, and say you're feeling unwell, have poor memory, are having nightmares, and have other symptoms that are difficult to detect with instruments..."

“In this situation, if you say you are sick, the doctor can't deny that you are sick, and you can also answer the police’s questions.”

Li Shiqing thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

Then he looked at Li Mu and said, "What about you? What are you going to do? The police are asking you what to do."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I told you we're good friends. If you're sick and need to get off halfway, I'll take you to the hospital."

"By the way, my name is Li Mu. Remember it well, so you don't not even know my name when the police ask."
