The world of film and television begins from childhood

Li Shiqing's face was suddenly filled with panic, and she trembled as she said, "I remember now. The first and second time I woke up, I heard that bell, and then the bus exploded. The next few times, in order to get off the bus, we interfered with the driver, and then a car accident happened. I haven't heard the bell since then."

Zhou Chen's face turned horrified. He had never heard the ringing tone before, but he knew that Li Shiqing would definitely not lie to him.

"There was a bomb in the car, and it was controlled by a bell. According to the time calculation, the last explosion should have been around 1:45, and the car accident happened at 1:42. So we didn't realize there was a bomb in the car before. We avoided the car accident, but not the explosion."

"Zhou Chen, what should we do?"

Zhou Chen looked up at the time on the bus. It was now 1:39. When he saw this time, he was suddenly stunned.

Except for the first time he was bombed, he didn't pay attention to the time. But in the next few times, he noticed the time he woke up. It was different every time, and it seemed to be about a minute earlier.

One minute earlier each time through the loop?

Zhou Chen felt that he had grasped a very important point.

But time is limited now and he doesn't have much time to analyze. Just like before, he either gets out of the car or stops the explosion.

There was a chance to prevent the previous car accident, but now there is a bomb in the car and they don’t know where the bomb is. They can’t find it after several minutes. How can they prevent it?

"Get off the bus. You must get off."

Zhou Chen suddenly said to Li Shiqing: "Let's use your previous method. We will analyze it slowly after we get off the car."

Li Shiqing believed in Zhou Chen without a doubt, "Okay, let's get off first."

Then she returned to her seat and looked at Xiao Heyun.

"We have to get off the car first. I need your help. You have to cooperate with me."

Xiao Heyun was confused: "How can I cooperate..."

"Pervert, there is a pervert."

Li Shiqing grabbed Xiao Heyun's hand and shouted loudly. Xiao Heyun was stunned and bad memories came to his mind again.

Two minutes later, Zhou Chen and the other two were standing on the sidewalk.

Xiao Heyun said bitterly: "Can you please not use this excuse next time? Aren't you familiar with him? You can ask him to cooperate with you. Why does it have to be me?"

Li Shiqing said as a matter of course: "It was you who sat next to me."

"Well, it's my bad luck, so what should we do next?"

He has accepted his fate. Two cycles have made him realize that if he wants to break out of the cycle, it is best to cooperate with Zhou Chen and the other two "old players".

"By the way, my name is Xiao Heyun, what's yours?"

"Li Shiqing." "Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen said: "We just made a scene again. If nothing unexpected happens, the bus will have another accident soon. The police will come looking for us again soon. Let's find a secluded place to hide first."

Xiao Heyun said: "I know a place where I can take you."

Zhou Chen asked: "Can we avoid the camera?"

Xiao Heyun was stunned for a moment, "It should be possible, that place is quite secret."

"Okay, let's go there now."

Under the leadership of Xiao Heyun, the three left quickly.

Just as they walked for a distance, they heard a loud explosion, and the three of them couldn't help but look in that direction.

"It exploded again..."

Chapter 540 Zhou Chen's routine: robbery

The explosion on the bus was not unexpected by Zhou Chen and the others.

Zhou Chen looked at the time, it was 1:42.

He was now certain that if they did nothing, the bus would not have an accident and would have been detonated by the bomb on the bridge at a quarter to one.

If they forced their way off the bus and delayed its movement, the bus would have an accident and exploded at the traffic light at the intersection at 1:42.

The Boiler Café is different from other cafés located in downtown areas. It is located in a remote area and its structure is also different from that of normal cafés. It has a heavy metal style. Generally, those who come here are regular customers.

Xiao Heyun brought Zhou Chen and Li Shiqing to the Boiler Cafe. Although it was afternoon, there were not many people in the cafe, only two or three.

The three of them found a secluded corner and sat down. Zhou Chen and Li Shiqing looked around curiously.

The cafe is large and secluded. Zhou Chen feels that the owner of this cafe certainly did not open it for the purpose of making money. How many people can come to drink coffee in such a remote place?

"It's very quiet here, and there aren't many surveillance cameras on the way here. We are safe here."

Seeing Zhou Chen nod, Xiao Heyun asked curiously: "But why didn't we call the police? Why did we have to come here? Anyway, it wasn't us who blew up the bus."

Zhou Chen replied: "Because we have been taken to the Public Security Bureau for questioning in another cycle before. It turns out that no matter what we say, they will not believe us. They will treat us as suspects and lock us in the interrogation room until we enter the cycle again."

He really didn't want to go to the Public Security Bureau because Zhang Cheng and the others would not trust them at all and would not give them the information, so he had to find a way on his own.

Li Shiqing asked: "We have confirmed that there is a bomb in the car, but we don't know where the bomb is and who controlled it."

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "So we must use our own methods to find the bomb, find the real culprit, and investigate the truth of the matter."

"So what method are you going to use?"

"I already have an idea, but I still need your cooperation."

Li Shiqing: "I will definitely cooperate with you."

Xiao Heyun didn't hesitate: "I will cooperate with you."

As a game planner, he has now accepted the reality. Moreover, the three of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If they want to break out of the cycle, working together is the best option.

"My method is..."

After hearing Zhou Chen's method, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were dumbfounded.

"This, this is too, too..."

Zhou Chen looked at the two of them and said slowly: "I know what you want to say, but I have a reason to do this, because I can't hold on for many more cycles."

"I can't last many cycles. What does that mean?"

Li Shiqing asked Zhou Chen blankly, Xiao Heyun also looked curious.

Zhou Chen did not answer directly, but asked Li Shiqing: "Li Shiqing, let me ask you a question. After you have gone through eight cycles, have you felt any changes in your body?"

Li Shiqing replied in confusion: "Changes? No, apart from feeling scared and terrified, there shouldn't be any changes in my body."

Zhou Chen sighed: "You don't have it, but I do."

"Have you changed?" Li Shiqing was even more confused.

Zhou Chen said solemnly: "After six cycles, I clearly feel that my body is becoming weaker and weaker. If I continue to cycle like this, I am afraid I will die from physical exhaustion."

Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun both widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

Xiao Heyun even trembled all over and asked: "Zhou Chen, this, you, what you said is true? If so, then wouldn't I also..."

"It's hard to say. This is my own situation, but Li Shiqing hasn't changed. Maybe you won't change like her either, so you don't have to worry too much."

But how could Xiao Heyun not listen? How could he not be worried? Li Shiqing was Li Shiqing. He didn't think he was special. Even Zhou Chen would change. He felt that he would most likely be the same as Zhou Chen.

Li Shiqing looked at Zhou Chen with even more concern: "Is everything you said true? Is your health really that serious?"

Zhou Chen sighed, "After going through the cycle, do you think there is anything that is impossible to happen? You can see that I look fine, but I know my body best. My physique, strength, etc. have all been greatly weakened. That's why I want to get rid of the cycle as quickly as possible. If I can't get rid of the cycle while I still have the strength, it will be even more impossible to get rid of it when I can't move."

"Now you understand why I want to use such extreme means."

Li Shiqing's eyes were red. Although she had not been together with Zhou Chen for a long time, the two had experienced many cycles together and fought side by side. They were even closer than friends who had known each other for many years. So after hearing about Zhou Chen's situation, she was particularly worried and scared.

"Zhou Chen, I will definitely help you. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Zhou Chen smiled and patted her head, "Don't say that. If I ask you to do something bad, will you listen to me?"

Li Shiqing said firmly: "You won't, I believe you."

Zhou Chen smiled but said nothing. He evaluated himself and thought that he was not a good person. He had lived for so many years and had done many shameful things.

However, Li Shiqing's words "I believe you" really touched Zhou Chen, after all, she was a girl who had never experienced the harsh treatment of society.

"Now, do you all agree with my proposal?"

"I agree, I agree." Xiao Heyun answered impatiently.

Li Shiqing also nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't really hurt anyone, I agree."

Zhou Chen added: "In fact, according to my speculation, finding the bomb and preventing the explosion may not necessarily break the cycle. The purpose of this cycle is very likely to let us find the real culprit of this explosion, or even let us investigate the truth of the other party bombing the bus."

Xiao Heyun agreed, "It's very possible. From what you said, this cycle is like a game. According to the usual routine of the game, preventing the explosion and investigating the truth may indeed be a way to escape the cycle game."

"We were not killed by the explosion, so how will we enter the cycle next?"

Although he had experienced two cycles, he was killed in the explosion both times, so Xiao Heyun didn't quite understand how to enter the cycle.

Li Shiqing said: "One time we were not killed in the explosion, but were taken to the Public Security Bureau. I don't know how long it was before I fell asleep, and the cycle continued."

"I know this. If you want to enter the loop, you either have to be blown to death or wait until midnight. Because when I was in the Public Security Bureau, I lost consciousness at midnight, and when I woke up again, I entered the loop."

Zhou Chen already knew the characteristics of the cycle through the system.

Xiao Heyun said: "That means, we just need to wait until twelve o'clock and then we can automatically enter the cycle?"

"Yes."

"This cafe shouldn't be open 24 hours a day. Where should we go if it closes?" Li Shiqing asked.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "It depends on whether our old friends can find us before closing."

This world is 2019 after all, and technology is advanced. If law enforcement agencies are determined to find them, it will just take them a little longer.

But Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. Even if they were found, they would probably not be far from the cycle. He just had to wait patiently.

Just as he expected, shortly after the bus exploded, the police identified the three people who got off the bus inexplicably and began searching for them.

However, when they found Zhou Chen and the others, it was already night. Not long after they were brought back to the Public Security Bureau, it was already time for the cycle.

This time, Zhou Chen and the other two woke up from their coma almost at the same time. The first thing Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun did after waking up was to look at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked up at the time. It was 1:37, one minute earlier than last time. This cycle setting was really similar to the game setting.

"Pay attention to cooperation."

Zhou Chen opened his mouth and whispered something to Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun, then stood up from his seat.

The bus was running normally and no one noticed Zhou Chen's actions, so Zhou Chen easily arrived at the place where the anti-theft life-saving hammer was placed.

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and picked up the anti-theft life-saving hammer. The next moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the bus.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Driver, what's the alarm sounding?"

"Hey, what are you doing with that hammer?"

Several passengers in the car screamed in panic, especially the old lady, who was very frightened.

The driver also looked confused. He saw Zhou Chen holding a life hammer through the rearview mirror and was also completely puzzled.

Zhou Chen didn't care about them. He wanted to be the bad guy this time. He suddenly shouted, "Stop making noise."

Then he rushed to Li Shiqing, pulled her over roughly, put his left hand around her neck, and held the life hammer in his right hand, pointing it at Li Shiqing's head.

Li Shiqing cooperated very well and let out a scream: "Ah..."

Hearing Li Shiqing's scream, Zhou Chen's mouth twitched. This acting is too amateurish.

But amateurs are amateurs, and everyone on the bus was stunned when they saw this scene.

Xiao Heyun yelled with horror on his face: "Brother, what are you doing? Let my girlfriend go."

"Shut up. If you dare to scream again, I'll kill your girlfriend."

Zhou Chen shouted fiercely at Xiao Heyun, then looked around fiercely and shouted: "Don't shout, I'm only after money. If you cooperate well, I promise not to hurt anyone, otherwise I will kill this woman and then kill you."

This was something they had discussed before the cycle. Zhou Chen played the role of a robber, while Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun pretended to be a couple. He held Li Shiqing hostage and forced Xiao Heyun to surrender, and then used the robbed property to determine the location of the bomb.

As long as the bomb is in the carriage, they will be able to find it. If they can't find it, then they have ruled out the possibility that it is in the carriage, and it is most likely under the car.

"robbery?"
