From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood
#1134 - Self-redemption
Murderous intent permeated the air.
Not only Evan and Keller, but Nicholas, sitting in the darkness of the screening room, also deeply felt that unease and fear, uncontrollably shrinking in an attempt to resist the cold in the screening room.
It was already November, and the Wilshire Theater didn't have the air conditioning on, but the goosebumps on his skin were screaming?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Nicholas's mind:
Tommy, he knows.
When Evan rescued Keller and told George to take good care of Tommy, Tommy was there, sitting on the stairs, quietly witnessing everything.
Tommy believed that his life's tragedy was all because of Evan; and now, Evan was even preparing to "steal" his sister.
"God!"
A kind of fear instantly seized Nicholas's heart.
And then.
Things happened just like that—
Tommy swung the baseball bat, hitting Evan hard; Keller had to rush to the alarm to notify the campus security.
In the midst of the violent storm of club strikes, Evan curled up into a shrimp, those painful memories surging like a tide.
The mailbox explosion, which led to the death of the next-door neighbor's hostess and her baby.
The Crockett incident, coldly and cruelly killing his puppy.
Not only that, Tommy also made his and Lenny's lives like hell, even beating and threatening Keller, becoming George's accomplice.
The memories of the previous timeline and this timeline intertwined, completely indistinguishable, and now, he finally had happiness, but Tommy appeared again, trying to destroy their lives, trying to... kill him.
Evan, lost control.
Seizing an opportunity, Evan counterattacked with pepper spray. Tommy didn't expect it at all, covered his eyes and fell to the ground, and Evan seized the opportunity to counterattack.
One punch, then another punch.
One punch, and another punch.
Nicholas was completely unaware that he was holding his breath, his whole body stiffly paralyzed in the screening room seat, staring dumbfounded at this scene.
Just witnessing a tragedy unfold.
Bang!
The baseball bat smashed down, and with a muffled sound, Tommy's head tilted, and he didn't move anymore.
At the same time, the entire screening room went silent.
From perfect happiness comparable to paradise to the endless purgatory of falling into the abyss, everything happened too fast. The free-fall-style reversal directly emptied the oxygen in the screening room, and his brain lost the ability to think, falling into a daze amidst a shock.
At some point, he even began to doubt everything he saw—
A dream, right?
In the movie, Evan himself couldn't tell what was reality and what was a dream, which things were his fantasies and which things really happened?
So, that tragedy was just a dream, wasn't it?
Unfortunately, this thought had just popped up when the movie cut off neatly.
Next scene, prison.
Evan entered the wolf pack like a little lamb, triggering a series of whistles and jeers.
Instantly dreaming back to "The Shawshank Redemption", exactly the same as the scene when Andy first entered the prison in that movie, Evan fell into a dangerous vortex.
Evan tried to save himself. He begged his mother to bring all the diaries; however, Andrea didn't realize the importance of the diaries. She only found two of them, which left Evan in despair, because he had to find the correct diary to enter the correct timeline and change his fate.
Unfortunately, these two diaries recorded boring daily fragments from when he was seven years old, which were useless.
Even worse, even these two diaries were not kept. The big shots in the prison who were eyeing the "fresh meat" rushed up to snatch them at the first time. Although Evan fought back, the result was very bad. Not only was he covered in bruises, but the diaries had also been torn into countless pieces.
Evan fell into despair.
However, after suffering torture, Evan picked up his own fragments. He realized that he must save himself, and more importantly, he must change his fate.
So, Evan sought help from his roommate in prison: Carlos.
From the first day he entered the prison, Carlos, who seemed fierce, gave him a series of suggestions overtly and covertly, hoping to help him get through the difficulties; but at that time, Evan was still confused and didn't dare to believe all of this, so he didn't listen carefully, which resulted in him falling into the quagmire.
Now, Evan needs Carlos's help.
Evan told Carlos the secret of the diary.
Obviously, Carlos didn't believe it. He thought Evan was mentally disturbed.
Evan decided to prove it to Carlos. He went back to his seven-year-old self through the diary, that is, the drawing class. He drew the painting of blood-stained corpses everywhere, which caused his mother to be called to talk to the teacher; this time, Evan didn't intend to change his work, but decided to leave a souvenir—
Evan took the initiative to run to the teacher's desk, where there were two staples, long nails, placed upwards, which could pierce sticky notes and accumulate them.
Evan deliberately slammed his hands towards the staples, leaving scars on the palms of his hands.
When Evan returned to the prison again, Carlos was stunned, unable to believe his eyes, because two scars appeared out of thin air on Evan's palms; even more because the position of the scars was like an oracle.
Carlos is a devout believer.
In their understanding, when Jesus was nailed to the cross, scars were left on the palms of his hands and the palms of his feet; if scars appeared in the corresponding positions on ordinary people, this was also considered by devout believers to be a divine revelation.
Before his eyes, Evan was like this, Carlos saw it with his own eyes:
Not only the mark of Jesus, but also came out of nowhere.
So, Carlos completely surrendered. He was willing to help Evan.
Evan went straight to the point and found the two big shots in the prison who had snatched Evan's diary.
Evan pretended that he had accepted his fate and was willing to kneel down and seek their protection, and meet all their requirements; taking advantage of the two big shots being distracted, Evan took out the toothbrush dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed the other's abdomen, and then Carlos rushed in, subdued the other big shot, and closed the iron fence of the prison cubicle.
Evan grabbed his diary, rolled onto the bunk, randomly flipped through a page, and began to read, trying to concentrate his attention.
Bang bang bang, just as Carlos lost his guard and the subordinates of the two big shots rushed into the cubicle, Evan's strategy worked, and he returned to that afternoon—
The afternoon Crockett was destroyed.
At the critical moment, Evan, who returned to that afternoon, was murderous and fierce.
He realized that not only did he need to stand up and save Crockett, but Lenny also needed to stand up for himself. They needed to stop Tommy, and they also needed to save themselves.
Evan knew that Lenny had always felt guilty and troubled by the mailbox explosion. He encouraged Lenny to stand up against Tommy and complete his redemption.
This time, he was going to save Keller, save himself, and also save Lenny, completely destroying Tommy.
In those eyes, murderous intent was burning.
