Li Shiqing blushed slightly. She wasn't one to be coy or hesitant, and once the problem was resolved, she immediately brightened up.

"My name is Li Shiqing. Don't give me the wrong answer if the police ask."

The two smiled at each other, and the initial awkwardness immediately disappeared.

Li Mu said, "Let's go. While we still have time, I'll go with you to the nearest hospital to deal with the police first."

Li Shiqing nodded: "Okay."

The two walked a short distance before trying to flag down a taxi.

Li Shiqing said again, "I escaped the bus this time and wasn't blown up. Do you think I've escaped the cycle?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. We don't understand the mechanism behind this mysterious phenomenon."

"Perhaps once you get off the bus and survive, you've already broken free from the cycle and can now live a normal life."

"Perhaps if certain requirements are not met, one might fall into a cycle again and repeat the previous experience."

Li Mu leans more towards the latter possibility, as his mission also includes "finding out the truth and ending the cycle"!

We know nothing right now, it's all completely dark, the cycle can't possibly end so quickly.

Li Shiqing was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I don't really want the cycle to end like this. So many innocent people have been injured and died. If we could start over, perhaps there would be a way to avoid this tragedy."

Li Mu said, "Then I hope it will be as you wish. Perhaps even God can't bear to see such a tragic situation and is deliberately letting you save them in a cycle!"

Li Shiqing smiled faintly, then seemed to remember something and said, "This explosion was caused by a collision between a tanker truck and a bus. If we go back to the loop, wouldn't preventing the bus from colliding with the tanker truck prevent the explosion?"

Li Mu felt that the bus explosions were not so simple: "It's hard to say. What were the causes of the previous explosions? Were they all caused by collisions with tanker trucks? Do you know anything about it?"

Li Shiqing shook her head: "My mind was blank at the time, and I didn't pay much attention."

"However, this bus collided and exploded with the tanker right under our noses. I think if we could go back to the loop, we should try to stop it."

Li Mu said, "What you said makes sense, we can give it a try."

"However, I think there might be other reasons for the explosions. You heard your cell phone ringing before each explosion. The collision with the tanker truck was a coincidence. Why would you hear the ringing beforehand?"

Li Shiqing was also bewildered. This was indeed illogical, but she had no clue what to do and couldn't think of any other solutions, so she could only try anything as a last resort.

Chapter 278 Tragic

When the two arrived at the hospital, they were startled by the pungent smell of disinfectant. Doctors and nurses were coming and going everywhere.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

"Quickly, someone come in! Another patient with severe burns needs to be brought in and taken to the emergency room!"

Someone urged them urgently.

"Understood! Get ready right away."

"It seems we've come at the wrong time," Li Mu said.

Li Shiqing nodded. As the largest hospital closest to the accident site, it must have treated the most injured.

At that moment, several more doctors and nurses pushed people into the hospital lobby.

"Quick, quick, quick... This patient over here is having difficulty breathing!"

Someone called out.

"Severe burns to the head and face, check the airway!"

The two of them didn't even bother to register; they were completely captivated by the bustling scene in the emergency room.

Not far from them, a humanoid figure with a charred face was brought in. It was called "humanoid" because all of its exposed skin had been burned away, leaving only a bloody mess. Ironically, half of a broken eyeglass frame was still hanging on its face, making it look extremely pitiful.

"vomit……"

Seeing this, Li Shiqing felt a wave of nausea.

The burn patient, who was already in shock, had both thighs burned black. The doctor who was trying to save him shouted things like "Establish intravenous access" and "Prepare for anti-shock treatment".

Several medical staff were busy working under his direction, and countless caregivers in green uniforms were rushing around with various tools.

Li Mu was also drawn to the person who had just been brought in for emergency treatment; for no other reason than that the person looked familiar.

It took him a while to remember—wasn't that the person he encountered while catching the thief? His name seemed to be Xiao Heyun. How could he be here? And how did he get burned?

As I recall, he gave the other person several hundred yuan and even hailed a taxi for him. How could he have been injured at the scene of the incident? It shouldn't be like this!

After thinking for a long time, he came up with a reasonable explanation: the other person was waiting for the same bus as him, and after being injured, he helped him flag down a taxi so that he could go to a nearby clinic for treatment.

They must have been delayed at the clinic, and then while on their way to their destination by taxi, they happened to be caught in the explosion and were affected.

Li Mu felt a pang of sympathy for the other person's bad luck. He had avoided the accident because of his own actions, but unexpectedly, the taxi he was in caught up with him at the exact moment the accident occurred.

They were lucky too.

Since the other party has already gone this far, he doesn't want to say anything, he just hopes to get through this.

If we could start over, this scene would repeat itself today. Li Mu would have prevented the explosion and even saved the other person's life.

It all depends on his luck; whether he can continue the cycle and escape this calamity.

The two stood there, watching one person after another being sent to the emergency room. In each ambulance, someone was wailing in pain. The already noisy emergency room was now filled with cries of "Doctor! Doctor!" and "Help! Help!"

Many of the patients brought in had extensive burns, and even those with minor injuries were bleeding profusely from head wounds.

In an instant, almost all the medical staff in the emergency department joined in applying wet compresses to the emergency patients. The emergency room was filled with a slightly acidic medicinal smell, mixed with the burnt smell and bloody smell coming from the patients—a strange mixture of odors.

It was so intense it almost took your breath away.

What a human tragedy this is!

Li Shiqing only glanced at it a few times before she couldn't bear to look anymore. She now deeply regretted not stopping it from happening. If she could restart the loop, she would definitely do everything in her power to prevent the explosion.

Many people who came to the hospital for treatment were deeply moved and discussed the tragedy.

"Oh dear, I heard it was a bus that collided with a tanker truck, triggering a series of explosions..."

"It's over there on the bridge. Luckily, I didn't go on the bridge today, otherwise something might have happened."

Hearing the words, "the bus crashed into the tanker truck," Li Shiqing felt inexplicably sad. Her body involuntarily shrank. If she could start over, she would definitely stop this from happening.

Looking at the chaotic hospital, witnessing that tragic scene, smelling the pungent disinfectant, and listening to the constant wails of agony from those years ago.

Li Shiqing suddenly felt extremely depressed and could no longer bear the atmosphere there, so she wanted to escape.

She pulled Li Mu and ran out of the hospital.

"I don't want to see a doctor anymore, let the police ask whatever they want."

Li Mu said, "I'll listen to you, I have no objection."

Li Shiqing's eyes were red, and she said sadly, "Those people are so pitiful. I hope the cycle doesn't end. I hope to prevent the explosion from happening."

Li Mu said, "Count me in, let's work hard together."

"Let's go grab a coffee first!"

……

On the other side, the accident site had already been cordoned off, and rescue work was ongoing. This was the fourth batch of injured people to be taken away!

The short-haired deputy chief of police, dressed in a white uniform, frowned deeply, her face as cold as ice. Seeing the situation, she said in a low voice:

"Old Zhang, this is the most serious traffic accident in Jialin City in the past decade!"

Beside her stood a lean, capable, and sharp-eyed middle-aged man, Zhang Cheng, the deputy head of the criminal investigation detachment, a veteran criminal police officer with more than 20 years of experience.

"Director, based on the results of the on-site investigation and the clues we have, we can preliminarily determine that this was a major traffic accident caused by a delivery truck cutting in front of another vehicle, which then collided with a bus and a tanker truck."

"The identities of the deceased passengers are still being confirmed. I have asked Ye Qian to retrieve the surveillance footage along the bus route to further confirm the true cause of the accident."

After the incident, Zhang Cheng, as one of the officers responding to the call, arrived at the scene immediately. Even as a veteran criminal investigator, the horrific scene still horrified him.

Currently, the death toll from the accident is over a dozen, with dozens more injured. This can be considered the largest and most serious traffic accident in Jialin City in the past decade.

The city government takes this very seriously and has issued a firm order to them to thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident.

Therefore, a professional investigation team was established by the Municipal Bureau just over ten minutes ago to be specifically responsible for investigating this traffic accident.

At this moment, his apprentice Jiang Feng came over and reported: "Team Leader Zhang, according to our investigation of the surveillance footage of major bus stops, there should have been nine passengers on the bus at the time of the incident. Including the driver, there should have been a total of ten people, but we only found eight bodies at the explosion site."

Zhang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Two people disappeared out of nowhere? That's impossible. Could the bodies have been disturbed? Pull up all the surveillance videos from this section of road recently and check them carefully to see if anything unexpected happened."

Jiang Feng said, "Okay, Master, I'll find someone to investigate right away."

Soon, a surveillance video was sent over, showing two people suddenly getting off the bus not far from the explosion site, but not at the station.

Old Zhang frowned: "What's going on with these two? They didn't occupy this spot, so why did the bus illegally drop them off?"

"The fact that they were so close to the explosion point means that the bus exploded very soon after they got off."

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up: "Could it be these two who did it?"

Old Zhang shook his head: "Not really, but I guess he knows something."

"Xiao Jiang, make arrangements to take these two people to the police station to assist with the investigation. Remember, don't be rude. Without evidence, they're not suspects."

Trainee police officer Jiang Feng nodded silently: "I understand, mentor."
