Chapter 1134 Self-Redemption
Murderous aura spreads in the air.
Not only Evan and Keller, Nicholas, who was sitting in the darkness of the screening room, also deeply felt the uneasiness and fear. He curled up uncontrollably, trying to resist the cold in the screening room in this way. .
It is already November, and the Wilshire Theater does not have air conditioning on, but the goosebumps on the surface of the skin are screaming?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Nicholas’ mind:
Tommy, I know.
When Evan saved Caleb and asked George to manage Tommy properly, Tommy was there, sitting on the stairs, quietly witnessing it all.
Tommy believes that the tragedy of his life is all because of Evan; and now Evan is ready to "steal" his sister.
"God!"
A kind of fear instantly grabbed Nicholas's heart.
Then.
That's what happened -
Tommy swung a baseball bat and beat Evan hard; Caleb had to rush to the alarm to alert campus security.
Amidst the violent blows from the sticks, Evan curled up into a shrimp, and those painful memories surged up like a tidal wave.
The mailbox explosion caused the death of the next door neighbor's hostess and her baby.
The Crockett incident, killing his puppy in cold blood and cruelty.
Not only that, Tommy also made his and Lanny's life a hell, and even beat and threatened Keller, becoming George's accomplice.
The memories of the previous time and space and this time and space are intertwined, making it completely difficult to distinguish. Now, he is finally able to have happiness, but Tommy appears again, trying to destroy their lives, trying to... Kill him.
Evan, lost control.
Seizing the gap, Evan used the anti-wolf spray to launch a counterattack. Tommy was completely unpredicted and covered his eyes and fell to the ground. Evan seized the opportunity to counterattack.
One punch, and another.
One punch, another punch.
Evan went crazy, his eyes were red, he lost his mind, his fists came down like a violent storm, and finally he grabbed the baseball bat that Tommy threw aside.
Hold high.
Time freezes at this moment.
Nicholas was completely unaware that he was holding his breath and was paralyzed in the auditorium seat, staring at this scene in stunned silence.
Just witnessing a tragedy happening before your eyes.
Bang!
The baseball bat was hit, and with a muffled sound, Tommy's head tilted, and there was no more movement.
At the same time, there was no sound in the entire screening room.
From the perfect happiness comparable to heaven to the endless purgatory of falling into the abyss, everything happened too fast. The free-falling transition directly sucked out the oxygen in the screening room. The brain lost the ability to think and fell into a sluggish state amid the impact.
At a certain moment, I even began to doubt everything I saw——
A dream, right?
In the movie, Evan himself can't tell what is reality and what is dream, which things are his fantasies and which things really happen?
So, that tragedy was just a dream, wasn’t it?
It's a pity that this idea just came up, and the movie has already cut it off neatly.
Next scene, prison.
Evan was like a lamb entering a pack of wolves, triggering a series of whistles and laughter. Instantly dreaming back to "The Shawshank Redemption", it was exactly the same as the scene in that movie when Andy just entered the prison, and Evan fell into a dangerous whirlpool.
Evan tried to save himself, he begged his mother to bring all the diaries; however, Andrea did not realize the importance of the diaries, she only found two of them, which made her Evan falls into despair because he must find the right diary in order to enter the right time and space and change his destiny.
Unfortunately, these two diaries record boring daily fragments when I was seven years old and are of no use.
What's worse is that even these two diaries were not saved. The big guys in the prison who were eyeing the "fresh meat" immediately came to snatch them. Although Evan fought back, the result was that But it was very bad. Not only was his body covered with bruises, but the diary had also been broken into countless pieces.
Evan fell into despair.
However, after being tortured, Evan picks up his pieces and realizes that he must save himself, and more importantly, he must change his destiny.
So, Evan seeks help from his cellmate in prison: Carlos.
From the first day he entered prison, the seemingly vicious Carlos gave him a series of suggestions overtly and covertly, hoping to help him overcome the difficulties; but at the time, Evan was still confused and couldn't believe that all of this was happening, so By not listening carefully, you end up getting bogged down.
Now, Evan needs Carlos' help.
Evan told Carlos the secret of the diary.
Obviously, Carlos doesn't believe it and thinks Evan is insane.
Evan decided to prove it to Carlos. He used his diary to go back to when he was seven years old, that is, in that drawing class. He drew the painting with bloody corpses everywhere, which resulted in the death of his mother. The teacher called to talk; this time, Evan did not plan to change his work, but decided to leave a memorial——
Evan took the initiative to run to the teacher's desk, where there were two fixed staples. Long nails, placed upwards, could pierce sticky notes and accumulate them.
Evan deliberately smashed his hands against the staples, leaving scars on the palms of his hands.
When Evan returned to prison, Carlos was shocked and couldn't believe his eyes, because two scars appeared out of thin air on Evan's palm; the location of the scars was like an oracle.
Carlos is a devout believer.
In their understanding, when Jesus was nailed to the cross, nail scars were left on the palms of his hands and the palms of his feet; if scars appear in the corresponding positions on ordinary people, this is also regarded as Devout believers believe it is an oracle.
Before his eyes, Evan was like this, Carlos saw it with his own eyes:
Not only was it a sign of Jesus, but it came out of thin air.
So, Carlos completely surrendered and he was willing to help Evan.
Evan went straight to Huanglong and found two big guys in the prison. They snatched Evan's diary.
Evan pretends that he has resigned himself to his fate, is willing to kneel down, seek their asylum, and meet all their demands; while the two bosses are distracted, Evan takes the toothbrush hidden in his sleeve The dagger was taken out and stabbed into the opponent's abdomen. Then Carlos broke in, subdued the other gangster, and closed the iron bars of the prison compartment.
Evan grabbed his diary, rolled on the bed, flipped through a page, and started reading aloud, trying to concentrate.
Bang, bang, bang, just when Carlos fell and the subordinates of the two bosses rushed into the compartment, Evan's strategy worked, and he returned to that afternoon——
The afternoon Crockett was destroyed.
At the critical moment, Evan returned to that afternoon, murderous and vicious.
He realizes that not only does he need to step up to save Crockett, but Lanny also needs to step up for himself, they need to stop Tommy, and they need to save themselves.
Evan knew that Lanny had been feeling guilty and troubled by the mailbox bombing, and he encouraged Lanny to stand up against Tommy and complete redemption.
This time, he wants to save Caleb, save himself, save Lanny, and completely destroy Tommy.
The murderous intent is burning in those eyes.
