When the melodious song of the elves stopped, Andy received the punishment he deserved for his mistake. The warden locked him up in a cell with no light at all for two whole weeks.
"This punishment is too light." Gray Rope looked at Andy, who was sitting at the dining table with a haggard face. He then looked at Bishop Kobler next to him. "If we had made such a mistake, the punishment would have been far worse."
Gray Rope was reminding Kobler that it was time for him to complete his mission.
Kobler stared at the screen without saying a word. The man named 'Rhett' also began to warn Andy with righteous words.
'Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive people crazy. It has no use here. You'd better get used to this idea.'
This sentence echoed in Bishop Kobler's ears, and he stood up weakly from his seat.
The movie did give him a sense of freedom for a moment. He even had the urge to resist the Court of Heresy.
But when Kobler came back to his senses, the cruel reality was still there.
It was exactly the same as what happened to Andy. No matter how talented the young businessman was and how he helped the entire prison build a new library and gained the warden's appreciation, he was still a lowly prisoner without any ability to resist.
Kobler turned around and carefully looked at his wife and daughter sitting in the second to last row. They were immersed in the movie and did not notice his gaze at all.
"Mother, why did Andy help the warden launder money … Is this allowed by God?"
"This is a despicable act. It will never be accepted by God."
"But Mother, didn't you say that the warden is a devout believer?"
"…"
No one could answer this question, not even Bishop Kobler.
All he could hear was Gray Rope's mocking laughter next to him.
"Using a loophole in the city's law to create a non-existent person to store the money. Andy is indeed a very useful slave for the warden," Gray Rope said softly.
Bishop Kobler ignored him and went back to his work. He walked past the row he was sitting in.
While he was touching the screen, Kobler's eyes were still fixed on the screen.
"What can I do for you, sir?"
When Bishop Kobler patted the last person in the row, he noticed Bishop Kobler patting his shoulder, so he turned around impatiently and asked him.
"Sorry, my eyes aren't very good. Can I switch places with you?"
Bishop Kobler came up with a random reason, but all he got was a rejection.
This allowed Bishop Kobler to get away and walk directly to the next row. The surrounding audience also noticed Bishop Kobler, who was blocking their line of sight.
Before it caused a commotion, Bishop Kobler could only sit back down beside Gray Rope.
"I suggest that you kill all the people in the theater who are in the way. It'll be easier for us to move in the chaos," Gray Rope said softly.
"…"
Bishop Koebler remained silent, but the plot of the movie had a new development.
Shawshank Prison welcomed a young prisoner, and this prisoner actually knew the inside story of Andy's wife's murder case.
As he sits down in the library and confesses everything he knows to Andy, the camera pans to the real culprit, who has a crazed expression on his face as he monologues to the entire audience.
"Andy is innocent? How can that be? He has been imprisoned for so many years. "
"Someone should help Andy reopen the case … That way, he can be released."
During the movie, the people of the Sacred City had completely sided with Andy. Many of them were glad that Andy could be released.
"The warden won't let him go easily," Gray Rope whispered into Bishop Kobler's ear again.
However, this time, his whisper was heard by a nun sitting next to him.
"Andy has helped the warden so much." The young nun did not seem to agree with Gray Rope's idea.
Gray Rope did not expect someone to dare to talk to him, but he did not answer the nun. The warden's angry roar on the screen replaced his answer.
"Don't ever mention dirty money to me! You bastard! "
The sudden roar even shocked many of the audience, and the entire hall returned to silence again.
Bishop Kobler glanced at the girl sitting next to Gray Rope. She did not seem to understand why the warden did what he said.
However, things took a turn for the better. In the middle of the night, the warden asked the young prisoner who knew the secret to come out and asked if what he said was true.
"Does the warden still plan to help Andy …" Before the nun's agitated voice could finish, a gunshot made her words stop abruptly.
As the gunshot stopped, the audience in the hall began to discuss among themselves.
"Only a dead man won't tell on me." Gray Rope looked at the prisoner lying in a pool of blood and patted Bishop Kobler's shoulder beside him.
Bishop Kobler glanced at the nun sitting next to Gray Rope. She looked at the dead body on the screen and covered her mouth in disbelief. Her eyes widened.
Reality was already so difficult. Was it so cruel even in a fictional story?
Bishop Kobler had already begun to consider Gray Rope's suggestion, which was to kill the people and cause chaos. Then, he would find the person he was looking for in the chaos.
What the warden did in the movie infuriated Bishop Koebler.
There was no longer any suspense at this part of the plot. He looked around and began to look for his target.
In the end, the conversation between Andy and Rhett by the wall was the last part that Bishop Kobler patiently watched.
"Get busy living, or get busy dying!"
When Andy said this line, he looked at his good friend Rhett with a conflicted expression. He asked Rhett to do him a favor if he could get out of here.
"As expected of the devil's creation." Gray Rope slowly clapped his hands. He was the only one clapping. "It's really interesting to watch a hopeful person slowly fall into despair."
"Andy is going to commit suicide?"
"This … seems to be the only way for the man to escape."
Most of the female audience could not help but cover their eyes when they saw this. Some of the nuns even began to pray for the virtual character in the movie.
In this hour-long story, the businessman relied on his charisma to change the audience's view of him from a lowly prisoner to a noble person.
Unfortunately, Bishop Kobler knew that the creator of this movie was a devil!
It was normal for the devil to use this story to ridicule the Kingdom of the Saint.
Andy asked his cellmate for a bundle of rope. When he returned to the prison, the light was so dim that only his dull expression and the thick rope in his hand could be vaguely seen.
Bishop Kobler didn't want to watch the ending anymore.
This feeling of despair spread throughout the hall, and Bishop Kobler's forehead began to sting again.
"Damn it, is the drug effect over?" Gray Rope could no longer remain calm and stood up from his seat. He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time. "It's been more than an hour? It's only been half an hour … It's not the time to worry about this. Brand! Do it! "
"I … know …"
Bishop Kobler covered his forehead. The audience around him had already noticed the abnormality here. Bishop Kobler suddenly rushed towards an old man in the row in front of him.
But a magic barrier suddenly appeared in front of the old man. When Bishop Kobler attacked him, he was completely repelled by the magic barrier.
Gray magic overflowed from Gray Rope's hand and shattered the barrier around the bishop.
"Did those old men find out? I wasted too much time, but it's okay … Brand! "Gray Rope looked back at the audience behind him. The creator of the magic barrier was a bishop.
When Gray Rope wanted to ask Bishop Kobler to do it again, he was staring at the scene on the screen.
"What kind of brand are you doing?!" Gray Rope turned his head around to look at the screen. He saw the warden standing in the empty cell with a surprised expression.
Andy did not commit suicide. He disappeared into thin air.
The warden questioned the prison guards loudly about what had happened.
