The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1134 Self-Redemption
Murderous intent spread in the air.

Not only Evan and Keller, but Nicholas, who was sitting in the darkness of the screening room, also felt deeply uneasy and fearful. He curled up uncontrollably, trying to resist the cold in this way.

It's already November and the Wilshire Theatre doesn't have air conditioning on, but the goose bumps on my skin are screaming?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Nicholas' mind:
Tommy, got it.

When Evan rescued Keller and asked George to take good care of Tommy, Tommy was there, sitting on the stairs, watching it all quietly.

Tommy believes that all the tragedies in his life are because of Evan; and now Evan is preparing to "steal" his sister.

"God!"

A sense of fear instantly gripped Nicholas' heart.

then.

This is what happened -

Tommy wielded a baseball bat and beat Evan so badly that Keller had to rush to the alarm to notify campus security.

Amid the torrential blows from the clubs, Evan curled up like a shrimp, his painful memories surging back like a tide.

The mailbox explosion killed the neighbor and her baby.

Crockett incident, killing his puppy in cold blood and cruelty.

Not only that, Tommy made his and Lanny's lives a living hell, and even beat and threatened Keller, becoming George's accomplice.

The memories of the previous time and space were intertwined with this time and space, and were completely difficult to distinguish. Now, he finally had happiness, but Tommy appeared again, trying to ruin their lives, trying to... kill him.

Evan, lost control.

Seizing the opportunity, Evan launched a counterattack with pepper spray. Tommy was completely caught off guard and fell to the ground with his eyes covered. Evan seized the opportunity to counterattack.

One punch, and another.

One punch, and another.

Evan went crazy, his eyes were red, he had lost his mind, his fists were rushing down like a torrential rain, and finally he grabbed the baseball bat that Tommy had thrown aside.

Lift it high.

Time freezes at this moment.

Nicholas was completely unaware that he was slumped in the theater seat, holding his breath, staring at the scene in amazement.

Just watched a tragedy happen.

boom!
The baseball bat hit him with a dull thud, and Tommy's head tilted, and there was no movement.

At the same time, the entire screening room fell silent.

From perfect happiness comparable to heaven to falling into the endless purgatory of the abyss, everything happened too fast. The free fall-like turn directly sucked out all the oxygen in the screening room, and the brain lost the ability to think, and fell into a daze in the shock.

At a certain moment, I even began to doubt everything I saw——

Dreams, right?
In the movie, Evan himself cannot tell what is reality and what is a dream, what are his fantasies and what are real things?

So, that tragedy was just a dream, wasn't it?
Unfortunately, the movie was abruptly cut short as soon as this thought came to mind.

Next scene, prison.

Evan was like a lamb entering a pack of wolves, triggering a series of whistles and laughter. Instantly, he was back to "The Shawshank Redemption", and it was exactly the same as the scene in the movie where Andy just entered the prison. Evan fell into a dangerous vortex.

Evan tried to save himself and begged his mother to bring all the diaries; however, Andrea did not realize the importance of the diaries and she only found two of them, which made Evan fall into despair because he had to find the right diary to enter the right time and space and change his destiny.

Unfortunately, these two diaries only record boring daily fragments from when I was seven years old and are of no use.

What's worse is that even the two diaries were not saved. The big guys in the prison who were eyeing the "fresh meat" rushed up to snatch them. Although Evan fought back, the result was very bad. Not only was he covered with bruises, but the diaries were also torn into countless pieces.

Evan fell into despair.

However, after suffering a lot of torture, Evan picked up his own pieces and realized that he had to save himself, and more importantly, he had to change his fate.

So Evan sought help from his cellmate in prison: Carlos.

From the first day in prison, the seemingly ferocious Carlos gave him a series of advice, both explicitly and implicitly, hoping to help him overcome the difficulties; but Evan was still confused at the time and couldn't believe what was happening, so he didn't listen carefully, which resulted in him falling into a quagmire.

Now, Evan needs Carlos' help.

Evan tells 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 went back to his seven-year-old self through his diary, which was the painting class. He drew the picture of bloody bodies all over the ground, which resulted in his mother being called in for a talk by the teacher. 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 staples. The long staples were placed upwards so that they could pierce the sticky notes and stack them up.

Evan deliberately smashed his hands against the staples, leaving scars on his palms.

When Evan returned to prison, Carlos was stunned and could not believe his eyes, because two scars appeared out of thin air on Evan's palms; and because of the location of the scars, it was like an oracle.

Carlos is a devout Christian.

In their understanding, when Jesus was nailed to the cross, scars from the nails were left on the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet; if scars appeared in corresponding positions on ordinary people, this would also be considered by devout believers as a sign of divine oracle.

This is what happened to Evan right before his eyes. Carlos saw it with his own eyes:
Not only was it the mark of Jesus, but it came out of nowhere.

So Carlos surrendered completely and was willing to help Evan.

Evan went straight to the source and found two big guys in the prison, who stole Evan's diary.

Evan pretended that he had accepted his fate and was willing to kneel down, seek their protection, and meet all their demands; while the two bosses were distracted, Evan took out the toothbrush dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed it into the opponent's abdomen. Then Carlos rushed in, subdued the other boss, and closed the iron bars of the prison cell.

Evan grabbed his journal, rolled over onto his bed, picked a random page, and began reading aloud, trying to focus himself.

Bang, bang, bang. Just as Carlos lost his defense and the subordinates of the two bosses rushed into the cubicle, Evan's strategy worked, and he returned to that afternoon again.

The afternoon of Crockett's destruction.

At the critical moment, Evan returned that afternoon, murderous and ferocious.

He realizes that not only does he need to step up and save Crockett, but Lenny also needs to stand up for himself. They need to stop Tommy, and they need to save themselves.

Evan knows that Lanny has been feeling guilty and troubled about the mailbox bombing incident, so he encourages Lanny to stand up against Tommy and complete his redemption.

This time, he has to save Keller, save himself, save Lanny, and completely destroy Tommy.

Murder was burning in those eyes.
