When Mo Shuwan heard the beeping sound of the bomb detonating on the top floor, she hadn't even started to panic yet, but Felosis was already in a panic. He hurriedly put the nearly unconscious Mo Shuwan down, sweating profusely, and said, "Let me help you defuse the bomb!"
"Even if you take it down, it will still explode. Carry me downstairs, I have a way! Have you ever seen someone wearing a bulletproof vest? Trust me, I won't joke with my own life." For her own life, Mo Shuwan was really desperately trying to persuade Felosis.
Upon hearing this, Felosi gritted his teeth and quickly bent down to carry Mo Shuwan back on his back. He didn't immediately listen to Mo Shuwan's words, but instead carried her to the police, demanding, "Who knows how to defuse a bomb?!"
"The bomb disposal team has all been sent out..."
Before he could even finish the last word, Felosi frantically rushed towards the stairwell, and even the bodyguards beside him couldn't stop him. Mo Shuwan held on for a moment, raised her wrist and glanced at the rapidly ticking countdown on the screen. Four minutes... that's enough.
"You...you are the bravest girl I have ever met." Perhaps he was too flustered, because even when he was running at full speed, Felosi couldn't help but keep talking to Mo Shuwan. Although Mo Shuwan was too weak to respond, he kept talking all the way. With only one minute left, they finally arrived outside the mall. Following Mo Shuwan's instructions, he carried her and ran towards the bus.
As he got closer to the bus, Felossis drifted further and further away from that area, unconsciously avoiding it without realizing it.
The last twenty seconds.
"Put me down."
"no……"
"quick."
After being yelled at by Mo Shuwan in a hoarse voice, Felosis could only grit her teeth and put the person down. When she tried to help her up, Mo Shuwan pushed her away. She stumbled towards the bus, her vision blurred and she could no longer see anything clearly, but her ears became unusually clear. Mo Shuwan found that she could clearly hear the bomb countdown.
It's like... your own death countdown...
This time, she was finally unable to restore her vision to normal. After all, she had lost too much blood and had been holding on for so long. Even an iron body could not withstand it. Everything in front of her was pitch black. Mo Shuwan could only rush forward by instinct. When her body was tripped and leaned forward, the bomb emitted a piercing beeping sound.
Time is up.
There was no explosion.
As she was completely engulfed by darkness, two thoughts flashed through Mo Shuwan's mind.
So tired...
The bet was won.
Felosis stood there blankly, trying to find Mo Shuwan in his sight, but apart from the police cordon and the approaching police, there was no sign of Mo Shuwan at all...
He rubbed his eyes hesitantly. "It seems like she was just picked up?" Regarding Mo Shuwan's sudden disappearance, Ferosis thought he was just seeing things and didn't dwell on why she disappeared in such a short time. He quickly relaxed and, when the police came to question him, casually said, "It's alright, the bomb has been removed. She just had something to do and left."
The police officers who clearly saw Felosi carrying Mo Shuwan down the street were not surprised and quickly put the matter out of their minds.
The spectacular fireworks display the criminals had hoped for for the police did not materialize. Two hours were sufficient for the police to completely defused all the explosives planted by the criminals. All the criminals lying in wait at the detonation points were arrested. The group of criminals who escaped in a helicopter soon ran out of fuel and crashed. Because the flight altitude was not very high and the criminals immediately headed towards the ground, only two criminals died instantly; the rest were all seriously or slightly injured. The police, who tracked them down using GPS tracking devices, arrested them directly.
...
Mo Shuwan slowly sat up, still somewhat dazed, but soon everything before she lost consciousness came back to her mind clearly. She immediately looked down at her wrist, where the bomb that should have been strapped to it had disappeared.
Looking at his empty wrist, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, all the strength seemed to drain from his body. He leaned limply against the car door, staring blankly at the empty driver's seat. He had survived, but he was all alone now...
"Congratulations on passing the Time Bus test and officially becoming a junior passenger."
Hearing that hollow, eerie voice again, Mo Shuwan's heart still raced involuntarily, and goosebumps rose on her back. However, this was just a temporary reflex. Having experienced a life-or-death disaster, her fear of buses had dissipated considerably.
Mo Shuwan leaned against the car door without speaking. After regaining her senses, she realized that the injury on her face no longer hurt. She raised her hand to touch it, and the hideous scar was still there. She subconsciously frowned.
"Use points to redeem scar removal cream and your face will instantly look brand new!"
For some reason, Mo Shuwan felt there was a hint of seduction in the voice that spoke this time...
After a moment of mysterious silence, a sigh came over the loudspeaker, "You're so boring. Stand in front of the redemption board, and I'll calculate your points for this mission." After a pause, it complained in a disdainful tone, "You people are so useless. Such a simple mission, and only one person survived in the end. I even specially chose the easiest mission for you."
Mo Shuwan's lips twitched slightly at the sudden change in the broadcast's tone. She obediently got up and walked to the huge panel—the exchange board. Just as she was about to speak, the broadcast, which had been complaining and disapproving, reverted to its hollow and eerie voice, "Calculating..."
Soon, lines of text appeared on the redemption board.
First-time passenger: Mo Shuwan
Task Completion Level: B [Reward: 200 points]
Main Quest: Complete [Reward: 300 points]
Note: The first passenger to start the mission and return alive will be awarded 1000 points.
Mo Shuwan's gaze lingered on it for a moment, then she lowered her eyes. "Who exactly are you?"
"I am the Time Bus."
Mo Shuwan was slightly taken aback, but quickly looked at the car and realized what the voice on the radio meant. The voice was actually directed at the car itself. She sighed and asked, "What would happen if I left this car now?"
"Passengers cannot leave the bus." The bus paused for a few seconds. "But you can use points to redeem time to leave!"
Mo Shuwan heard the temptation in that voice again... but she was indeed tempted. She swallowed hard and said in a tight voice, "I want to redeem it now."
As soon as the words left the screen, the text disappeared, and the redemption interface appeared. Unfortunately, when they found the section for redeeming departure bus time, their eyes were filled with disappointment. Leaving for an hour required 5,000 points, far more than they had.
Of course, I was still happy, at least I knew I could still leave.
