Roaming the universe, all thanks to your many dark skills!

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed. Seeing that the winter vacation was about to end, Zhang Junsheng and Wang Peng also rushed back.

The four people in the dormitory got together again and found a place to have a big meal.

During this time, the boss asked about Wei Wan again. Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but complain again. Rosen watched coldly without saying a word.

Wang Peng gave a very fair evaluation after listening to it: "Who told you to be such a scumbag before? Now take it as retribution. Third brother, I will ignore him and let him cry."

"Second brother is wise."

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile." Wang Peng said with a smile.

The other three looked down on him.

After laughing for a while, Wang Peng asked again: "Old Four, where is your car?"

"I left it at home." Zhang Zhiwei said, "Even if we are at school, we can't drive now that we are drunk. By the way, do you have a driver's license?"

"No, am I proud?"

"and."

After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they walked towards the school, shoulder to shoulder, chatting and strolling.

School started the next day, and there were a lot of messy things to do, so Rosen decided to stay in the dormitory for a few days.

"Assistant, what are the adventure worlds I can choose next?"

"The adventure worlds you can choose from are 1: The Shawshank Redemption, 2: The Pianist on the Sea, and 3: Fast & Furious 5."

"The Shawshank Redemption."

"You will consume 1000 merit points to enter this world. Do you agree?"

"agree."

"Excuse me, do you need permission to travel upstream this time?"

"Yes."

"Now entering the countdown: 119:59:59."

...............................

The story takes place in 1946. The young banker Andy was accused of shooting his wife and her lover. Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank Prison.

Life in prison is not good, but fortunately Andy, who is able to make friends and is good at financial management, soon finds a place in prison.

He helped the prison guards evade taxes and helped the warden "launder" the illegal income he received, and soon became the warden's "personal assistant."

But he was not content with the status quo, because he was the only one who knew that he was innocent, so he wanted to leave the prison.

Until one day, a thief was imprisoned for theft. He knew the truth about the death of Andy's wife and her lover. Andy excitedly found the warden, hoping that the warden could help him overturn the case.

The warden agreed on the surface, but secretly sent someone to kill the thief because he wanted Andy to stay in prison and use him for his own purposes.

After Andy knew the truth, he decided to gain freedom through his own redemption!

1945, Plymouth, Massachusetts

An old ship named the Virginia was about to be blown up.

It was originally a cruise ship that traveled between Europe and the United States. It has been traveling across the ocean for 20 to 30 years, leaving behind many legends. (Note)

During World War II, it was converted into a medical ship and continued to serve the country.

Now that the war is over, it is too old to be used, but the cost of dismantling it is too high, so someone came up with a simpler and more cost-effective way, which is to simply load it with six and a half tons of explosives and completely destroy it.

In the morning, a fat man with a bald head came and made a fuss, shouting that there were still people in the boat and it could not be blown up, otherwise it would be murder.

His name is Max and he is a trumpet player.

The officials present accompanied him on board the ship to look for it, but found nothing.

In the afternoon, Max hurried over with a box, saying that he would make a final effort to try to find his friend.

Although time was a bit tight, the people present still gave Max this opportunity.

So he carried the box onto the boat, ran to the cabin full of sewage, opened the box, and revealed a portable record player inside.

When he put the cracked record in place, bent the tonearm and placed the needle on the record, a melodious and cheerful piano music sounded from the bottom of the cabin.

After the song ended, there was no response.

Max went somewhere else again, over and over again.

Finally, he waited for the friend he was looking for: 1900 appeared.

Max wanted to take him away from here. The two of them could form a partnership and perform a duet anywhere to make a living.

But 1900, who was abandoned on this ship since childhood, grew up here and played the piano here, has never left the ship and now doesn't want to leave.

He treated the ship as his home, even though its cabin was now shabby and messy, dimly lit, and about to be blown up.

But he still didn't want to leave.

Even if he would be blown to pieces, he wanted to stay here and not go anywhere else.

Max's earnest persuasion was all in vain, and in the end he could only say goodbye with tears on his face.

Watching Max's figure disappear, 1900 sat on the dark green explosive box next to him, lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hello." A voice suddenly sounded at this time.

1900 was startled and looked up suddenly, only to see a young man with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

"Oh my god, how did you get in?! Hurry up, this place is going to explode." 1900 pointed at the explosive box under his butt and said, "It's still not too late to leave now."

"Why don't you leave?" The person who came was naturally Rosen, and he asked with a smile.

"Because this ship is my home, my world. I don't want to go anywhere else except here." 1900 replied, and then urged: "You should leave quickly, or you will die."

"No, of course not." Rosen reached out and grabbed 1900's shoulder.

Not to mention that 45, who is now 1900 years old, has been hiding on the ship for so long that eating and drinking have become problems. He has been hungry and has become pale, dizzy and has no strength at all.

Even when he was in his twenties or thirties and at his strongest, he could not escape Rosen's grasp.

So after struggling for a few times and seeing no results, 1900 gave up completely, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's the point of holding on to me now? Are you going to die with me?"

"you are wrong."

Rosen shook his head and said, "I just want to teach you a simple truth."

"What?" 1900 asked curiously.

"It is better to live a miserable life than to die." Before Rosen finished speaking, the two men disappeared.

Boom.

The next moment, flames rose up and a deafening roar shook the surroundings.

The Virginia, which carried the laughter and memories of countless people, was completely turned into scattered fragments.

Max, who was standing on the shore, saw this scene and burst into tears, covering his face.

People who originally thought he was just making up stories actually believed what he said after seeing him like this.

Maybe there really is someone in here who has not left, but now he has been sent into the sky by six and a half tons of explosives just like this ship.

"Good luck to your friend."

....................................

Rosen knew that 1900 was weak now, so he didn't send any shots to torment him.

After leaving Plymouth, the two came to New York.

"Wow, how on earth did you do that?"

Note: The time span of the plots of both The Shawshank Redemption and The Pianist on the Sea is actually very long, but if written down, it would not take up much space, so I put them together, since they are both very close in time.

I implore all readers to be tolerant and accept this.
