Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 9 I will go to you at six o'clock tomorrow morning

When I was doing the commentary video of "Source Code", there was a line in it that impressed Roland deeply.

‘What scares you is not the unknown future, but the repetition of past mistakes. '

Why do many people imagine that their life can be repeated?

Isn't it the choice back then that made me feel stupid now?

The time loop can perfectly solve this problem.

When you are fully prepared, most of the problems that will trouble you will be solved.

Roland originally thought that he, who entered the time loop, was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.

But when he analyzed the conditions for leaving the time loop, he immediately fell into autism.

If he has a way to win the project of "Home Alone", then he will learn other things!

An instant hit, film appointments followed one after another, the accumulation process of original capital was instantly erased, and then he could do whatever he wanted.

But alas—

Even if you become the sword **** of Shilipo and reach the full level in Xinshou Village, after you go out— 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Still can’t leverage capital.

This is a really sad story.

The time loop can help Roland learn skills that he never possessed, allowing him to master the knowledge he will use in the future, but it is not a panacea. Want to make John Hughes give up Macaulay Culkin in a short period of time?

Do you think John Hughes is Dormammu who can sense time?

Still think that Elizabeth, who is not yet a year old, is Wanda?

"This is a bit of a scam! The time loop can help me learn and improve, but the key to breaking the time loop is related to the old business of capital kidnapping? Let me get rid of John Hughes? This is comparable to directly convincing David It is even more difficult to make him believe that I am a time traveler and invest in me!"

Actually, when Roland first learned that he was 'reborn' again, he was actually very happy in his heart.

He felt that this might be his cheat account.

But now, when he figured out his situation, he was a little speechless.

He feels that entering the industry at his current age is not a good choice?

Sorry, the time loop told him what a real Ming-style domineering president is.

I don't want you to think, I want me to think!

I think you can handle John Hughes, so—

Come on Sao Nian!

Thinking of the leader's evil smile, Roland shuddered.

He wanted to think about how to fool David into buying various professional books for himself in the time loop.

But now—

Everything is useless.

If the problem of leaving cannot be solved, then what's the point of him repeating the same day?

Isn't this a disguised sentence to him without a wife?

After thinking about it seriously, but not finding any bugs in his own analysis, Roland sighed in frustration, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then sat on the steps of his house, blowing the wind.

Los Angeles in January is still pretty cool.

The sea breeze blew, brushed the leaves, and made a rustling sound, just like his chaotic mood at the moment.

Unable to find a clue, he just sat there like this, until the hands on the watch quietly approached seven o'clock, and there was a bang, which pulled his thoughts back.

Turning his head to see, the little chubby who lives in the next room is rushing out of the house in the form of a meat bomb chariot.

When the guy in the green hat turned over the courtyard, rushed all the way, wanted to rush up the steps, and knocked on the gate, a lonely figure appeared 'suddenly', like a ghost, and he was startled by the unprepared .

If it wasn't for Roland's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he would give him a hand.

James may really fall three meters this time.

"Roland, why are you hiding here?"

"Are you trying to scare me?"

The slightly angry panicked question made Roland roll his eyes.

He was sitting in front of his house.

Besides, there are no bunkers around except for the fence.

In this case, James can be frightened by him, it can only be said that he did not watch the way.

Although Roland was able to explain the problem clearly, he did not enjoy the pleasure of speaking.

If you hurt James, what's the point of shifting the responsibility for being scared to the other party?

This doesn't change the conditions for him to leave the time loop.

Shrugged, took the initiative to put the blame on his back, apologized to the other party, and the two left together.

Same as the previous two times, when Roland entered the house, he saw the postman driving as fiercely as Boss Tang again.

Because he was well prepared, this time he witnessed with his own eyes how this guy drifted and parked.

Took the newspaper, got into the house, finished breakfast quietly, accepted David's proposal, and went to the audition.

This time, Roland did not greet his "old friend" Leslie, but quietly accepted the fact that he failed the audition.

Maybe it was because Roland was too calm, or maybe the audition didn't meet David's expectations, so after leaving the Fox studio, David, who cared about his friend's son, directly found a year-round McDonald's.

"Whatever you want to eat, order yourself."

"But, when you go back, don't tell James them."

David put his hands in his pockets and winked at Roland with a smile. Such a situation also made Roland smile bitterly.

In David's view, Roland is just a child. Even if he shows extreme restraint, he still has the possibility of being tempted by junk food.

If it was a non-time loop state, Roland might shake his head and veto it, but now—

He desperately ordered a bunch of them.

Looking at Roland, who was holding a cheeseburger in his hand, and David, who was resting his chin in one hand, was taking a mouthful of Coke.

He is organizing his own language and wants to have a good communication with Roland.

When the sizzling sound of the emptiness entered his ears along with the echo, Roland, who was opposite him, also felt full.

"anything else?"

Roland shook his head.

"Then let's talk?"

Roland, who was prepared, nodded silently without making a sound.

Looking at this situation, David put down the Coke cup, folded his hands, leaned forward, and naturally put his elbows on the table.

"When I went out in the morning, I heard James say that when he went to call you this morning, he saw you sitting on the doorstep?"

"Do you have something on your mind?"

"Can you talk to me?"

The prying eyes full of curiosity made Roland, who was leaning on the seat, pursed his lips.

Although he didn't know when James told David all this, judging from the current situation, that little chubby guy should have said a lot to his father when he wasn't paying attention.

What the **** did they say?

Are these important?

Not important.

Anyway, if I sleep tonight, I will forget about it tomorrow.

Seeing that Roland did not intend to respond, David was not discouraged, but took a deep breath, looked directly at Roland with sincere eyes, and began to talk to himself.

"Roland, I—actually, I've wanted to chat with you for a long time."

"Just like now, alone."

"I don't know how you think of me and Ganetti, but I have to admit that the death of your parents is indeed related to us. If they didn't cut the ribbon on our behalf, they wouldn't be able to leave like this."

"Ganetti and I have always felt guilty about this matter, so after the incident, we got in touch with you as soon as possible, and found someone to complete all the procedures, hoping to keep you by our side."

"I know that it is really cruel for you to make the decision of whether to follow when your parents just passed away, but these things must be done, because all the problems left by them need to be solved by people."

"Can you understand?"

Hearing David mention his 'own' parents, Roland nodded.

This is a topic that he tried to avoid since he traveled.

For him, the memory in his mind is like looking at flowers on horseback, without real feelings.

This kind of thing that belongs to him but has never experienced it himself is the "past event" that he doesn't want to mention.

After all, there are many mistakes.

Yes—David obviously doesn't think so.

When Roland failed the first audition, Roland only showed frustration. David took the initiative to comfort him, and while he was not paying attention, he informed the family members of the audition result. During dinner, no one asked about it.

When the second audition failed, because Roland showed indifference, David did not say hello in advance, but instructed his wife to ask about it at the dinner table, wanting Roland to tell everything calmly.

David's performance was actually based on Roland's mood after the audition.

This expensive man really cares about Roland's feelings.

Staring at the patient, smiling, and willing to listen guy in front of him, Roland sighed.

Although he understands that as long as he keeps silent, David will not embarrass himself.

Once tonight is over, everything will go back to file. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

but-

Just being silent is not a problem!

What's more, even if he is decadent hundreds of times in the time loop and drinks beer every day, he still can't become Sol!

Even if dropping Macaulay is an impossible goal, he still has to try first, right?

And when faced with this impossible task, he felt that he really needed a helper.

one-

Able to understand time loops and trust their own helpers.

Thinking of this, Roland has no scruples.

"Okay David, before I talk about things, I want to ask you a question first."

Although Roland omitted the title of uncle, David was not only not angry, but very happy.

As long as Roland is willing to communicate, what is seniority?

"Speak, Roland." David nodded.

"Can I trust you?" Roland asked seriously.

"Of course." David replied cleanly.

"How to prove it?" Roland leaned forward, staring straight at the other party.

"Because Ganetti and I broke the law for you."

The persuasive questioning did not bring any pressure to David. He shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, and he replied with a smile: "According to the law, children under the age of twelve cannot be left alone at home."

"But we let you live in our own home."

"Although it is the same courtyard, our two families share the same entrance and exit gate, but this is also illegal."

"I'd be in really big trouble if someone from the Child Protective Society came to check on me."

"But we know how to break the law in order to take care of your feelings."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

satisfied?

Of course Roland is satisfied.

If this is a video game, then David's sincerity bar is obviously already full.

In this case, then—

"I see, Uncle David."

"Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, I will find you."
