663 The world stops
♂,
The cold, the biting cold, the cold that was almost frozen into ice climbed up along the blood little by little, causing the breathing to stop in an instant. Before Lance realized it, his brain turned blank, and the road in front of him gradually became blurred, as if only a white halo was left, and the whole world was trapped in chaos, and all sounds and lights had lost their meaning.
"...brake, brake!" The terrifying shout exploded in his ears like thunder, which made Lance dizzy. He just stepped on the brakes with a launch, and then he felt the steering wheel turn suddenly, and the whole car was thrown out, drawing an arc on the road, and stopped amid the harsh sound of brakes.
The fierce gravity dispersed all thoughts into pieces, as if the whole person was thrown into a juicer and stirred. When he raised his head, Lance looked around in a daze, forgetting where he was.
Not far away, a car also marked the road. The owner got out of the car and cursed, but he couldn't hear any sound. The man sitting in the passenger seat was talking non-stop, then raised his hand and waved it in front of him. He was a little stunned. Who is this?
"Lance! Lance!" Emma's voice slowly pulled Lance back from the chaos. The surrounding scene gradually began to become clear, and the noise around her ears gradually began to become real.
"...That moment just now was really fierce! Now Strero is still in a coma, the stretcher car has entered the field. After the doctor conducted emergency rescue, he seemed to have completely lost consciousness and now he needs to be taken off the field for professional examination and treatment. So far, we have no further news about Strero's situation. Later, our reporters on the field will bring Strero's specific situation as soon as possible. I hope he is fine."
Emma looked at Lance in front of her. His eyes had completely lost focus. He searched around in a daze, as if he wanted to find something, but could not find anything. The helpless panic and fear were like a twisted devil, gradually eroding the wooden face. His hands were tightly holding the steering wheel. Because he tried too hard, his fingers had deformed. She could even feel a slight tremor on the steering wheel, which was clearly transmitted from his fingers.
She could even see his entire world begin to collapse, as if everything was destroyed in an instant. The indestructible man in my memory suddenly became fragmented and all his faith and goals burst out in an instant easily destroyed everything without warning.
Emma quickly let go of her hands holding the steering wheel and covered her mouth hard, fearing that her crying sound would leak out and become the last straw that crushed him. The hot tears blurred the vision, and fear occupied her brain and swallowed all other emotions.
She bit her lower lip hard, raised her hand and wiped the tears that had not been falling from her eyes in a panic, then breathed in big mouthfuls, forcing herself to calm down. She couldn't panic, she absolutely couldn't panic, he needed her.
"Knock," there was a sound of knocking on the window outside. Emma raised her head and saw another victim just now. If she hadn't pulled the steering wheel in time, a traffic accident might have occurred. Emma took a few deep breaths, opened the car door, and walked down quickly, "Sorry, I'm really sorry. We had a little accident just now, I hope you're fine."
Standing opposite was a middle-aged man in a suit. He was angry at first, but seeing Emma's attitude was so good, I felt embarrassed to blame him too much, "I'm fine, but you must pay attention..."
Emma bent down and flipped through the locker in front of the passenger seat, found Percy's business card, and handed it to the middle-aged man, "I'm really sorry, we're in a more urgent situation now. If there is any situation, please call this?"
The middle-aged man took the business card, looked back at his car, then looked at Lance, who was sitting in the driver's seat without any reaction, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm fine. I hope you're fine either!" Then the man turned around and left.
Emma sat back in the passenger seat, closed the door, tried her best to calm herself down, and then carefully placed her right hand on Lance's shoulder. He turned his head suddenly like a frightened child, his blue eyes were filled with fear and resistance, "Lance, calm, I need you to calm down." Emma tried hard to slow down her voice, trying to calm down Lance. She didn't know how to deal with such a situation. She only knew that Lance must calm down again, and he would know how to deal with it.
For the first time, Emma hoped that she would be older and have richer experience, so she would be wise enough to understand what to do now.
Taking a deep breath, Emma put all the messy thoughts apart. This is not her moment, it is about Lance, about Gowen. "Lance, things will be fine, everything will be fine. I need you to calm down and tell me, what should I do? OK?" Emma tried to keep her voice stable, looking at Lance with her eyes intently, "Lance, it will be fine, everything will be fine."
Focus slowly returned to Lance's eyes, then he closed his eyes tiredly, bit his teeth tightly, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his whole body tensely like a bow, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Lance murmured in a vague manner. He should go to New York, he should arrive at the scene in person, he...he should keep his promise.
He should keep his promise!
He promised Gao Wen, he promised Theo and Ian, but he broke his promise. He chose to stay in Los Angeles for the damn "I am a legend", for the damn DC Universe and Warner Brothers, for the damn interests, for the future blueprint of the damn company. He is really too selfish, selfish and willing to destroy everything, always thinking about himself, except himself, he hurts so many people for himself, and now he even hurts Gao Wen. He is his only three relatives in this world.
He is a bastard, a bastard who should go to hell.
His hands began to tighten, and the flat-cut nails pierced deeply into his palms, but he could not feel the pain, and only felt the slippery and sticky liquid flowing on his fingertips; his muscles all over his body tensed up, and he rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head one after another. He was so hard that his body began to tremble slightly, but he still couldn't stop the terrible thoughts in his head, "If Gao Wen really..."
Lance smashed his head hard on the steering wheel. The violent impact shook the whole world, but he still couldn't feel any pain. The chaotic thoughts in his mind still stopped. "If anything happened to Gao Wen..." Once, again, and again, he had to stop this terrible idea, he had to stop. This idea was so terrible, just like a devil that would devour life, he had to stop.
"...Gaowen needs you." The voice in his ears was broken and it was heard intermittently, "Lance! Gaowen needs you!" Lance stopped his movements, slowly turned his head, and then saw an angry and high-profile pair of eyes, and shouted firmly, "Lancelot, did you hear it? Gaowen needs you! Now is not the time for you to be sad or angry here, Gaowen needs you, he needs you by his side!"
Lance looked at the eyes blankly, "Uh...uh..." A intermittent voice came from Lance's throat, "I, I just need a little time, uh, a little time..." The eyes looked around in panic, as if they could not find the focus at all, and could only scan randomly.
"... According to the doctor's examination on the sidelines, the initial diagnosis was a concussion, but because Gao Wen lost consciousness, the situation may be even more serious. Therefore, the specific situation needs to be understood after Gao Wen arrives at the hospital and conducts in-depth examinations. But what is certain is that Gao Wen will not return to the court today..."
The host's live report came from the radio, and it kept echoing in the car. Emma raised her head and looked at Lance. He was stiff in place, stammering his neck without moving. There was a heartbreaking blue in her eyes, as if time had stopped forever at that moment, imprisoned in the deep blue, without sadness, pain, without anger, without regret, just... it stopped working. Uncontrollable sadness surged into her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but wet again. She quickly turned her head and wiped her tears with her palms.
The sound of the engine came over. Emma turned her head and saw Lance restarting the car and skillfully turning the front of the car. The panic-willed embarrassment remained between her eyebrows, but her face had returned to normal, as if it had returned to the calmness and ease that she had usual, but her handsome cheeks revealed a bright pale, which carefully outlined the distressing haggardness, "Lance, where are you going?"
"Airport." Lance's voice was extremely calm, as if the panic just now had never happened. His thoughts were extremely clear and clear, and all the confusion was no longer important. His eyes were staring at the road ahead.
Emma opened her mouth, and Lance finally regained her rationality and seemed to have finally returned to normal. She tried to convince herself, but... but she felt that everything could not return to normal. Lance was terriblely calm, as if she had lost her soul and had only a body left, and was accurately executing the commands issued by the system like a robot.
