Chapter 544 Freedom
"How can such a small tool escape from jail?"
"Isn't the title Shawshank's Redemption? Andy must be able to find redemption in prison to pay for his sins."
Bishop Kebler's ears kept pouring in the comments from the people around him, and the plot that he had expected Andy to escape from prison seemed to have come to nothing.
Just like what the character named Rhett said, "It will take at least a few hundred years for him to escape from prison with that little thing." '
"Brand, now is not the time to rest."
A hoarse voice sounded in Bishop Kebler's mind again, and the accompanying sting caused Bishop Kebler to stand up immediately.
"Are you alright?"
This sudden action frightened the people sitting next to Bishop Kebler. Bishop Kebler forced a smile on his face and shook his head, then slowly sat back in his seat.
Bishop Kebler clutched his forehead, the tingling pain in his brain began to gradually intensify, and the effect of the medicine would not last long at all.
He took a deep breath and watched Andy in the movie continue to do nothing, as if he had accepted life in this prison.
Bishop Cobbler shook his head mockingly.
As the guy before said, since the title of the movie is, the story must be about finding redemption in prison.
It is a pity that the reality is not so beautiful, and the prison in reality cannot find any way of salvation.
"Mother, what do those people want to force Andy to do?"
Bishop Kebler was always able to catch his daughter's voice immediately.
The scene that appeared in the movie screen was indeed a scene that many young girls present, even the boys, could not understand.
A group of men cornered Andy and grabbed him. Andy was struggling crazily, and the man at the head stuck behind Andy and shouted, "The more you struggle, the more enjoyable you are".
Damn... who the hell took this picture! What a good thing that demon did!
Bishop Kebler was stunned for a moment. He looked around, and many knowledgeable women covered their faces in shame. He even saw a few men showing strange smiles and nodding their heads.
"Mother?"
The daughter of Bishop Kobler is still naively asking her mother what the men in the movie want to do.
Damn it! Damn it!
Bishop Kebler held his hand. If he didn't have the brand of a heretic judge, he would definitely jump out now and drag his daughter away from this ghostly place.
But now, as a slave of the gray mist, he is not qualified to do so.
"You don't need to understand this, I think we should get out of here."
Fortunately, Bishop Coble's wife suddenly understood something, and was planning to leave this filthy place with her daughter.
What is even more fortunate for Bishop Cobler is that the demon hasn't made the movie so filthy. Andy managed to get rid of those men, but he was still beaten by them on the ground.
"It's really like hell, is this the so-called salvation?"
Bishop Cobbler looked at Andy, whose face was covered with scars.
He also tried to resist these gray fogs many years ago, but the erosion became more and more serious. If there were no potions, he would live in this world where every minute and every second would be suffering.
Bishop Cobler chose to compromise...
Sooner or later, Andy will also choose to compromise with despair.
When Bishop Kobler saw that the prison was planning to send volunteers to work, he closed his eyes wearily.
He needed to use this method to calm the voice in his head, but suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Bishop Cobbler opened his eyes instantly, and found a man sitting next to him suddenly.
Judge……
"Being lazy here will be punished," said the man.
"Hui Sheng, I have already been suspected of walking around here frequently. There are close to a thousand people here, and there are several bishop-level figures. If you can touch everyone once before those guys catch you, I will You can act immediately."
Bishop Kobler cast a cold glance at the man beside him, he didn't have a good impression of the judge.
Unlike Bishop Cobler's pain, his work on the Inquisitors is of the kind that is enjoyable.
"Only you can touch the messenger, the brand... Forget it, actually, this 'Devil's Creation' is still interesting." He leaned on the seat unscrupulously and said, "I like to watch the prisoners struggling to the death."
"..." Bishop Kebler fell silent and did not answer the other party.
"Andy seems to be resisting the prison guards. They are all on the roof. This posture... seems to be trying to push the prison guards down?" he said.
At this moment, Bishop Kebole also raised his head to look at the picture.
Andy in the movie was lucky enough to get a chance to go out to work, and the place of work was on the roof.
But at this moment Andy did not choose a safe job, but walked slowly towards the prison guard.
This was the most likely chance for Andy to escape, but Bishop Cobbler noticed a smile on the face of the man beside him.
The reason is simple, even if this is an opportunity, Andy's ending can only be death, or a tragic end.
There's no way he can beat the prison guards!
The inquisitor next to Bishop Kobler, who is looking forward to the second "fat prisoner" in the movie.
don't do stupid things...
For some reason, Bishop Cobbler had this idea in his heart. He didn't want Andy to end up like the 'killed prisoner'.
Bishop Kebler clenched his hands, and the noisy voice in his head seemed to be far away from him at this moment.
"It's started." The man beside him reminded Bishop Cobbler.
The prison guard immediately noticed Andy's abnormal behavior, grabbed him by the collar and asked him loudly what he was going to do.
Andy's words angered the leader of the prison guards, who grabbed Andy by the collar and tried to push Andy off the roof.
Bishop Cobler's eyes widened, and at the last moment Andy shouted, "You can get 3,500 gold coins." ’, the prison guard leader stopped what he was doing in an instant.
Three thousand five hundred gold coins? What 3,500 gold coins...
Bishop Coble recalled that Andy was a businessman, and the prison guards seemed to be discussing tax payment just now.
Andy, a businessman, began to teach the prison guard how to avoid taxes.
After listening to Andy's suggestion, the originally angry prison guard loosened Andy's collar and accepted Andy's suggestion.
The moment Bishop Kebler saw Andy's collar was loosened, he also heaved a sigh of relief.
Not only Bishop Kebler, he also heard the same reaction from many people around him.
And the reward for all this is just for each friend to get three bottles of iced ale.
"Unfortunately, avoiding taxes is another trick of the big shots, but what is the purpose of only asking for three bottles of ale?"
Another inquisitor complained next to him, and he seemed disappointed that Andy wasn't raped by the prison guards.
But Bishop Kebler was no longer in the mood to listen to him.
The melodious background music echoed in the movie, and the prisoners who finished their work sat on the roof, drinking ice ale, and watching the sunset in the distance.
Andy sat alone in the corner, didn't even take a bottle of ale, just smiled and looked at the inmates.
Many people around did not understand why Andy wanted this reward.
But Bishop Coble understood that what he wanted was 'freedom', although it was only for a moment... But Andy at this moment was an ordinary person, with no shackles or brand on him.
A kind of power surged in Bishop Cobler's consciousness, that is, the hope he had given up for a long time.
At this time, Bishop Cobbler understood the difference between himself and Andy. They were both prisoners. Bishop Cobler had already given up his pursuit of freedom, but Andy never did.
The latter part of the plot can be said to make Bishop Cobbler very happy.
After learning about Andy's ability in business, the prison guards all came looking for him to calculate tax-related issues.
All of a sudden, Andy changed from an ordinary prisoner to a tax accountant whom all guards in the prison could treat kindly. Even the aloof warden began to come to Andy to settle taxes.
"This feeling of being at the bottom but still having status is really addictive."
Gray Rope also seems to have replaced himself in the role of 'Andy', feeling happy about his rising status in the prison.
Especially the part where the "sisters" who harassed Andy before were beaten into a disability by the prison guard leader made him applaud.
"But Brand, no matter how high his status in the prison is, he is still a prisoner." Gray Rope said suddenly.
"..."
Bishop Cobler, who had a smile on his mouth, turned cold instantly.
He remembered the plot of the previous paragraph, that is, the warden brought the prison guards to make rounds.
They rudely swept the items in Andy's cell to the ground, as if to remind Bishop Cobbler... No matter how useful a prisoner is, he is only a useful servant after all.
"Mother! I remembered that the book that Andy took before was called The Way of Salvation. It contains the content of the fourth line of the first chapter of the teaching. Andy is indeed a devout believer."
Bishop Cobbler did not miss the excited voice of his daughter, and the part of the movie that made the audience feel happy and relaxed seems to have come to an end.
It started when the old prisoner named 'Bruce' started threatening another prisoner.
"He is going to be released from prison soon, why would he do such a thing."
"Did the old man have mental problems after being locked up in prison for too long?"
The two words that rang in the ears of Bishop Kebler were not from Gray Rope, but from two ordinary spectators behind him.
At this moment, the gray rope who had been nagging suddenly fell silent. He stared at the crazy look of the old man named 'Bruce', and fell into a rare silence.
'That old fellow is crazy! '
'He's been here fifty years! Fifty years! This is the only place he knows! Here, he's an important person, and out he's nothing. '
In the scene of Rhett arguing with another prisoner in the movie, Bishop Cobbler noticed the change in the expression on Gray Rope's face.
This chattering judge seldom showed such a...silent expression, at least he never saw Bishop Cobler when he was performing missions with him.
After all, this guy has always been proud of himself as a judge.
"Are these walls interesting?" Gray Rope muttered to himself after listening to Rhett's lines.
In the end, "Bruce" left the prison, and Bishop Cobbler silently watched the old man staggeringly walk on the street.
Everything is so strange to him, everything on the street is something he has never seen before.
He even called Shawshank Prison "home" outside.
Bishop Kebler glanced at the gray rope beside him, his eyes were fixed on the picture in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to Bishop Kebler at all.
The 'Bruce' in the movie made a choice and that was to leave.
'Bruce' took a knife and carved something on the beam of the house, when the scene turned to the chair under the feet of 'Bruce'.
Bishop Kobler instantly understood what he meant by leaving.
The old man left this world forever with his feet suspended in the air.
When Bishop Cobler saw the words 'Old Bloom has been here' written on the beams of the house, he felt a shock... a heart and a spiritual shock.
This feeling can't be described in words, he just wants to ask how that devil made such a story!
The surrounding audience also stopped discussing, and there was only silence in the entire auditorium...
"boring."
It was Hui Sheng who spoke softly, breaking the silence.
'Brand, it looks like you forgot your duty. '
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly jumped out of Bishop Kobler's mind, and the stinging pain filled his brain again, so Bishop Kebler had to cover his forehead.
'...'
Bishop Kebler did not answer him.
'brand! '
This time, the tingling sensation traveled to the hands of Bishop Kebler, which was exactly the same as the pain that had been pierced through the gap between his fingernails.
Bishop Kebler held his hands tightly, his nails even embedded in his flesh and blood.
This feeling made him gradually lose himself, but suddenly the melodious singing broke into his hearing and soothed his pain.
"Psalm? No..." Bishop Kebler held his forehead and looked at the screen with dull eyes. The pain in his mind seemed to leave him.
This melodious singing came from the movie. Andy found this record donated by others and played it in the prison's announcement room, at the risk of being punished.
The inscription equipment with amplifying effect makes every corner of Shawshank Prison resound with this melodious singing.
Bishop Kebler listened to the singing in the movie in a daze. The expression of the prisoner in the movie was almost exactly the same as that of Bishop Kebler.
He didn't understand Elvish, nor did he understand the meaning of the lyrics, but this song was far more beautiful than the hymn Bishop Cobler heard.
At this moment, Bishop Kobler really felt that sitting in this movie theater...he was free while watching this movie.
