"How can he escape with such a small tool?"
"Isn't the title 'The Shawshank Redemption'? Andy will definitely find redemption for his sins in prison. "
The discussions of the people around him kept pouring into Bishop Kobler's ears. His initial expectation of Andy escaping from prison seemed to have been dashed.
Just like what the character named Reid said, it would take him at least a few hundred years to escape from prison with that little thing.
"Brand, now is not the time to rest."
The hoarse voice rang in Bishop Kobler's mind again, accompanied by a sharp pain that made him immediately stand up.
"Are you … okay?"
This sudden action shocked the person sitting next to Bishop Kobler. Bishop Kobler forced a smile on his face and shook his head, then slowly sat back in his seat.
Bishop Kobler covered his forehead. The tingling in his brain began to gradually intensify. The effect of the drug would not last long.
He took a deep breath and watched as Andy continued to do nothing in the movie, as if he had accepted life in this prison.
Bishop Kobler shook his head in a self-deprecating manner.
Just like what the person said before, since the title of this movie was' The Shawshank Redemption ', the story must be about finding redemption in prison.
Unfortunately, reality was not so beautiful. There was no way to find redemption in the prison in reality.
"Mother, what are those people trying to force Andy to do?"
Bishop Kobler could always hear his daughter's voice at the first moment.
The scene that appeared in the movie was indeed a scene that many young girls and even boys could not understand.
A group of men forced Andy into a corner and grabbed him. Andy struggled madly, and the leader of the group stuck close to Andy's back and shouted, "The more you struggle, the more fun you'll get."
Damn it … Who the hell filmed this thing! Was it the devil's doing?!
Bishop Kobler was stunned. He looked around and saw many knowledgeable women covering their faces in shame. He even saw a few men smiling strangely and nodding their heads.
"Mother?"
Bishop Kobler's daughter was still innocently asking her mother what the men in the movie wanted to do.
Damn it! Damn it!
Bishop Kobler clenched his hand. If he didn't have the mark of a heresy judge on him, he would have jumped out and dragged his daughter away from this godforsaken place.
But as a slave of Grey Fog, he had no right to do so.
"You don't need to understand this. I think we should leave this place."
Fortunately, Bishop Kobler's wife immediately understood something and was about to leave this filthy place with her daughter.
Bishop Kobler was even more thankful that the devil didn't dirty the movie. Andy managed to escape from the men, but he was still beaten up by them.
"It's really like hell. Is this the so-called redemption?"
Bishop Kobler looked at Andy, whose face was full of scars.
Many years ago, he had tried to resist the Grey Fog, but as the Erosion became more and more severe, without the potions, he would have to live in this world for every second of his life.
Bishop Kobler chose to compromise …
Sooner or later, Andy would choose to compromise with despair.
When Bishop Kobler saw that the prison was going to send volunteers out to work, he closed his eyes tiredly.
He needed to use this method to calm the voices in his mind, but suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. Bishop Kobler opened his eyes instantly and found a man suddenly sitting beside him.
Judge …
"You'll be punished for slacking off here," the man said.
"Gray Rope, I've been walking around this area frequently, and I've already been suspected. There are nearly a thousand people here, and there are even a few people who are at the bishop level. If you can touch everyone once before those people catch you, I can immediately take action."
Bishop Kobler glanced at the man beside him coldly. He didn't have a good impression of this judge.
Unlike Bishop Koebler's pain, his work as an inquisitor was of the type that he enjoyed.
"You're the only one who can touch the emissary, the mark … Forget it, this' Devil's Creation 'is actually quite interesting." He leaned back in his seat and said, "I like watching those prisoners struggle on the verge of death."
"…" Bishop Kobler fell into silence and did not answer him.
"Andy looks like he's going to resist the prison guards. They're all on the roof. It looks like … they're going to push the prison guard down?" he said.
Bishop Kobler also raised his head and looked at the screen.
In the movie, Andy was lucky enough to get a chance to work outside. The location of his work was on the roof.
But at this moment, Andy did not choose to work obediently. Instead, he slowly walked towards the prison guard.
This was Andy's best chance to escape, but Bishop Kobler noticed the smile on the man's face.
The reason was very simple. Even if this was an opportunity, Andy's ending could only be death or some other tragic fate.
He could not defeat the prison guard!
The judge beside Bishop Kobler was looking forward to the second 'fat prisoner' in the movie.
'Don't do anything stupid …'
For some reason, this thought appeared in Bishop Kobler's mind. He did not want Andy to end up like the 'prisoner who was beaten to death'.
Bishop Kobler clenched his fists. The incessant noise in his head seemed to have left him at that moment.
"It's starting," the man beside him reminded Bishop Kobler.
The prison guard immediately noticed Andy's abnormal behavior. He immediately grabbed his collar and asked what he was going to do.
Andy's words angered the leader of the prison guards. He grabbed Andy's collar and wanted to push Andy off the roof.
Bishop Kobler's eyes widened. At the last moment, Andy shouted, "You can get 3,500 gold coins." In an instant, the leader of the prison guards stopped what he was doing.
3,500 gold coins? What 3,500 gold coins …?
Bishop Kobler recalled that Andy was a businessman, and that the prison guards had been discussing the issue of taxes.
As a businessman, Andy began to teach the leader of the prison guards how to avoid taxes.
After listening to Andy's suggestion, the originally angry leader of the prison guards let go of Andy's collar and accepted Andy's suggestion.
The moment Bishop Kobler saw Andy's collar being released, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Not only Bishop Kobler, but he also heard many people around him react the same way.
And all this payment was just so that each of his friends could get three bottles of iced ale.
"What a pity, it's another trick of the big shots to avoid taxes. But why do they only want three bottles of ale?"
Another judge grumbled. He seemed to be disappointed that Andy wasn't tortured by the prison guards.
But Bishop Kobler was no longer in the mood to listen to him.
Melodious background music echoed in the movie. The prisoners who had finished their work sat on the roof, drinking their iced ale and watching the distant sunset.
Andy sat alone in a corner. He didn't even take a bottle of ale. He just smiled at his fellow prisoners.
Many people around him didn't understand why Andy wanted this payment.
But Bishop Kobler understood that he wanted 'freedom'. Although it was only for a moment … But at that moment, Andy was an ordinary person. He wasn't shackled or branded.
A power surged in Bishop Kobler's consciousness. It was the hope he had long given up.
At that moment, Bishop Kobler understood the difference between him and Andy. They were both prisoners. Bishop Kobler had long given up on the pursuit of freedom, but Andy never had.
The latter part of the plot made Bishop Kobler very happy.
After the prison guards learned of Andy's ability in business, they all looked for him to calculate their taxes.
In a short period of time, Andy turned from an ordinary prisoner to a tax accountant that the prison guards treated kindly. Even the high and mighty warden began to look for Andy to calculate his taxes.
"This feeling of being at the bottom but still having a status is really addictive."
Gray Rope seemed to have put himself in Andy's shoes. He was happy with the rise of his status in the prison.
Especially the scene where the "beautiful sisters" who harassed Andy were beaten to a pulp by the prison guard leader, it made him clap his hands in applause.
"But no matter how high his status in the prison is, he's still a prisoner," Gray Rope suddenly said.
"…"
The smile on Bishop Kobler's face instantly turned cold.
He remembered the previous part of the plot, where the warden brought the prison guards to check on Andy's cell.
They violently swept the items in Andy's cell to the ground, as if to remind Bishop Kobler that no matter how useful a prisoner was, he was just a useful servant.
"Mother! I remember now. The book that Andy was holding was called 'Teachings', and the way of redemption was in it. It was the fourth line of the first chapter of the teachings. Andy was indeed a devout believer. "
Bishop Kobler did not miss his daughter's excited voice. The part of the plot that made the audience feel happy and relaxed seemed to have ended.
From the moment the old prisoner named Bruce started to threaten another prisoner, Bruce was the first to arrive.
"He's about to get out of prison. Why did he do this?"
"Did that old man have mental problems after being locked up for too long in prison?"
The two sentences that rang in Bishop Kobler's ears did not come from Gray Rope, but from the two ordinary audience members behind him.
At that moment, Gray Rope, who had been nagging non-stop, suddenly fell silent. He stared at the crazy old man named Bruce and fell into a rare silence.
"That old man is crazy!"
"He's been here for fifty years! A whole fifty years! This is the only place he knows! Here, he's an important person, but when he gets out, he's nothing! "
Bishop Kobler noticed the change in Gray Rope's expression when Rhett argued with another prisoner in the movie.
The nagging Nephilic Judge rarely showed such a … silent expression. At least, Bishop Kobler had never seen it when he was on a mission with him.
After all, this man had always been proud of being a Nephilic Judge.
"Are these walls interesting?" Gray Rope muttered to himself after listening to Rhett's lines.
In the end, Bruce left the prison. Bishop Kobler watched the old man stagger on the street quietly.
Everything was so unfamiliar to him. Everything on the street was something he had never seen before.
He even called Shawshank Prison 'home' outside.
Bishop Kobler glanced at Gray Rope beside him. His eyes were fixed on the scene in front of him. He did not care about Bishop Kobler at all.
In the movie, 'Bruce' made a choice, and that was to leave.
'Bruce' carved something on the beam of the house with a knife. When the camera turned to the chair under 'Bruce's' feet.
Bishop Kobler instantly understood what he meant by 'leave'.
The old man's feet were suspended in the air. He used this method to leave this world forever.
When Bishop Kobler saw the words' Old Butcher was here 'written on the beams of the house, he felt a shock … a shock to his heart and spirit.
The feeling could not be described with words. He just wanted to ask how the devil made such a story!
The surrounding audience also stopped their discussions. Apart from silence, there was only silence …
"Boring."
Gray Rope was the one who spoke softly and broke the silence.
"Brand, it seems like you've forgotten your duty."
At that moment, the hoarse voice suddenly jumped out of Bishop Koebler's mind, and the stinging pain filled his brain again, causing him to have no choice but to cover his forehead.
"…"
Bishop Kobler did not answer him.
"Brand!"
This time, the sharp pain came from Bishop Kobler's hands. It was exactly the same pain as when his fingernails were pierced by a sharp thorn.
Bishop Kobler clenched his hands so tightly that his nails even dug into his flesh.
This feeling gradually made him lose himself, but suddenly, a melodious song broke into his ears and soothed his pain.
"Holy … song? No … "Bishop Koebler clutched his forehead and stared at the screen with dull eyes. The pain in his mind seemed to have left him.
The melodious song came from the movie. Andy risked being punished in the prison's notification room to find this donated record and played it.
The inscription equipment with sound amplification effect made this melodious song ring in every corner of Shawshank Prison.
Bishop Kobler listened to the song in the movie in a daze. The prisoner's expression in the movie was almost exactly the same as Bishop Kobler's.
He did not understand the elven language, nor did he understand the meaning of the lyrics, but this song was far more beautiful than the hymns Bishop Kobler had heard.
