Percy Brandley, Lance's second assistant at Diorama Pictures.

In fact, after the quarrel between Lance and Ryan completely torn their faces, Lance began to secretly contact his cronies in Diorama Pictures one after another, trying to rebuild a team and set off again. But the cruel reality gave Lance another hard blow, only Percy responded to Lance's invitation, submitted his resignation letter without hesitation, and came to Lance that night. Everyone else shirked it with all sorts of excuses.

There was nothing else Lance could do but smile wryly. Diora Pictures is a thriving production company with a bright future; And he has nothing and is alone, and it is not easy for a bare-bones commander to re-establish a piece of the country. He was helpless, he was angry, but he couldn't blame those people - because they were just workers.

Lance attended Karel's funeral, apparently to make a comeback; But it's a pity that at this funeral, Li Jin replaced Lance, and then ...... There is no then. Li Jin came to New York to open up a new world, while Percy was left behind in Los Angeles.

In fact, Percy later traveled to New York three times to visit Lance. But at that time, Li Jin didn't seem very enthusiastic, and just barely coped with it. After that, Percy also disappeared, and when Li Jin fused Lance's memories, he could no longer find Percy.

For Percy, Lance always had a sense of guilt in his heart.

After ten years, hearing Percy's voice again, I was full of emotion, but it was difficult to express it for a while. However, Percy on the other end of the phone did not have such an estrangement, and his answer followed, "Lance, is the funeral over?" So, how's the harvest? The coldness in his voice quietly disappeared, and there was a hint of lightness in his tone.

Lance's left hand tightened slightly, his thumb unconsciously rubbed his index finger, and the thoughts tumbling in his mind slowly precipitated, "It's a little complicated, I can't understand it on the phone for a while......"

"Then I'll talk about it in detail when I get back." Percy's nonchalant voice interrupted Lance's words, which was also a relief for Lance, making him let out a soft breath.

Just as Lance was about to talk to Percy about the reimbursement of the car's engine, Percy's voice came from the other end of the earpiece, "By the way, I sorted out all the information today, and I haven't finished it yet-God, you really should sort it out." However, I have found out that you have adapted several novels under your name, and maybe this can be the direction of our next development, but I carefully read the list of those novels, in Portuguese, Spanish, French...... It's all a bunch of inexplicable things, and I really don't know what you had in mind to buy these copyrights. And then there'......"

"Stop...... Stop! Lance found that Percy's words were like a surging river, continuous, and he tried several times to interject but could not interject at all, and found that Percy had no intention of stopping, Lance had to interrupt Percy.

Percy finally stopped on the other end of the line, Lance raised his hand and touched the left side of his brow, thinking about how he should speak, but in the end he decided to go straight and cut off all the politeness and hypocrisy, "My car broke down, the engine died, I need you to drive over and pick me up." Then I called the garage -- my phone was running out. ”

Percy paused for a moment to make sure Lance had nothing else to explain before he spoke, "Okay, no problem, where are you now?" ”

Lance looked left and right, looking around at the landmarks, "I just came down from Four-Zero-Five, and I'm on Sunset Boulevard, near the University of California, Los Angeles. ”

Percy couldn't help but be stunned, it was the opposite direction of Lance's house, but he still swallowed his doubts, "I'll go over now, I guess I'll be there in twenty minutes." ”

Hung up the phone, Lance casually wanted to put the phone in his pocket, looked down and realized that he was wearing a custom suit today, and the pants pocket was not suitable for the mobile phone, and even took Lance and touched the jacket pocket, only then did he react, his pockets were all empty, so he had been trying to find chocolates or candy just now, but he never found it.

Sweets are a habit that Li Jin has never been able to quit, even after becoming Lancelot. Over the years, Lance has long been accustomed to carrying sweets with him, but now that he is back in 2002, there is naturally no sweets in his pocket, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Looking left and right, I saw a row of shops three hundred yards ahead, in which a "7/11" logo could be faintly seen. Lance reached over from the passenger seat, pulled out the car keys, and raised his foot to go to the convenience store, but only two steps away, suddenly a gust of wind hit, and in an instant, the sand and rocks flew away, and the wind and clouds changed color, as if the time machine qì was starting to operate, almost making Lance think that he was going to wear / cross again.

But this time it's obvious that Lance is thinking too much, and the rainstorm is coming!

In the blink of an eye, the raindrops the size of beans poured down, and the dense raindrops were all over the sky, as if you were in a Nicaraguan waterfall. Sure enough, it was summer, and the torrential rain came without warning. One second the sun was shining, and the next second the sky was already falling apart.

Lance was completely caught off guard, walked quickly to the back of the car according to his memory, opened the rear compartment, and sure enough, he saw a long-handled umbrella lying inside, and the bright red color was particularly conspicuous. Lance didn't have time to think about it, so he picked up the umbrella and propped it up, and the world under the umbrella isolated him from the rainstorm, and the dense sound of raindrops fell on the surface of the umbrella, as if the whole world was quiet.

Holding the umbrella, Lance took a shallow step in the direction where the convenience store was located.

In the pouring rain, the layers of clouds cover the sky tightly, not even a trace of light can be seen, the golden sun behind the clouds does its best to release energy, barely sketching a light gold on the edge of the dense dark clouds, so that the black and oppressive dark clouds become a deep gray, just like a splash of thick ink in the clear water slowly fades away, the black, white and gray changes are rendered layer by layer, revealing a magnificent atmosphere but entangled/graceful charm.

Dense raindrops fell from high in the sky, and gravity stretched the round raindrops into thin rain, like a natural curtain, connecting the sky and the ground.

The dense water vapor slowly spreads between the rains, hiding the distant scenery behind the thick fog, as if the whole city has disappeared, the residential buildings and green parks in the distance, and the campus teaching buildings in the near distance, are like a mysterious fairyland, and there is no chance to see it. Even the shallow mist swelled at the end of the straight road, shrinking the field of view to within a radius of thirty yards.

The pouring rain almost gave the illusion that a big hole had been broken in the sky, and all the raindrops were pouring down like a waterfall.

Emma-Stone hugged her knees tightly and looked at the sudden rainstorm in front of her with a look of chagrin, and the streets in front of her had begun to accumulate water, and it was simply impossible to move an inch. Looking back at the convenience store behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to worry about being hungry.

Looking at the rain curtain in front of her again, it seemed as if there was not even a gap, and then Emma saw the red.

In this layer of rain curtain, a bright red umbrella is slowly moving forward, the surging color is like hell karmic fire in the dark world burning, raindrops continue to pour on the red, splashing a hazy mist, the color that is constantly washed by the rain is becoming brighter and brighter, it seems that even the surrounding mist is dyed with that bewitching red, supporting a small world, in this apocalyptic wind and rain slowly moving forward.

Under the umbrella, the tall and straight figure is like a green pine, as if it is enough to support the whole world, and the rain-soaked black suit pants outline the slender legs like ink, and slowly move forward in the hazy inky mist, as if even the torrential rain cannot disrupt his pace.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck and split the sky in half, as if Moses were standing on the edge of the Red Sea, a magical spell that slowly opened the unfathomable sea. Immediately after, the second and third lightning bolts slashed down one after another, and the water vapor in the air was blown away, projecting the silver light, which instantly lit up the entire gray world, giving people the illusion that time and space had been smashed into countless pieces, and the heaviness and shock of falling apart were accompanied by the catharsis of thunder, and the whole world began to shake.

But in this moment of brilliant light, that red flower was so dazzling, it just moved forward slowly, as if the colors of the world were gathered here, and the bright and bewitching color made all the black, white, and gray around it fall into a standstill, leaving only the only red jumping. There is only one red, but it is suffocatingly colorful; There was only one side of space, but it stretched endlessly between the rain and fog.

Emma couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, watching in amazement as the red slowly approached, as if she had witnessed someone break into the nine-and-three-quarter platform in London. Emma tried to see the figure hidden under the umbrella, but all she could see was a thick dark color, and nothing else.

The umbrella is getting closer and closer, the soft light at the door of the convenience store pierces through the mist, little by little the face under the red umbrella is depicted, the resolute chin curve is dyed a little softer in the hazy halo, the thin lip flap is lightly pursed, the bright red is dripping in the water vapor, the soft arc outlines a thrilling charm, as if all the colors in the world have disappeared.

The footsteps were a little closer, and then Emma slammed into an endless blue, deep and vast, the lingering melancholy and confusion like the golden sunlight that fell on the surface of the ocean in the morning, even the rain curtain on the sky, even the world that lost its light, even the dark space, could not be blocked, bursting out with a fatal attraction that was strong and fragile, retro and elegant.

In an instant, the heart stopped beating.
