Chapter 215 Fishing
Haley took the police cap from the guard and put it back on his head. Without even glancing at the fat man, he left the cell, saying, "Take this piece of trash to the infirmary."
The two guards beside him ignored the fat man lying on the ground, panting.
The fat man lying on the ground also made the new recruits at Shawshank Prison understand the consequences of disobeying prison guards' orders or offending them.
The cell gradually quieted down. Herwood turned to the others and said, "See, rookies? As long as you don't offend the guards, you can have a comfortable time here in Shawshank Prison."
However, Red remained silent, his gaze fixed on Andy's cell, as if he were deep in thought.
......
The guard quarters at Shawshank Prison.
Because of the identity card, Warden Norton arranged a very nice dormitory for Li Qing, a single room with even a separate bathroom and toilet.
Li Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, with the green Life Gem floating in front of him, and a continuous stream of energy flowing from the Life Gem into Li Qing's body.
The world mission assigned by the system is to prevent Andy from escaping from prison. However, in the original storyline, Andy's escape takes place more than ten years later. It is only after the appearance of the character Tommy that Andy becomes determined to escape.
The Shawshank Redemption spans a period of twenty years, and it's rare to find a world with such a large time span, so Li Qing naturally cherishes it.
It would be a complete waste not to use nearly twenty years for cultivation.
Breaking through to the Refinement of Emptiness and Integration of Dao in twenty years is easy, and there might even be a chance to directly break through to the Human Immortal Realm.
......
The next day, around 7 a.m.
Li Qing walked out of the guards' dormitory. A small, emerald-green snake, its body as green as jade, was crystal clear and radiated a captivating luster. The snake was wrapped around Li Qing's hand like an emerald bracelet.
This emerald green snake was created by Li Qing using the power of the Monkey Talisman to transform the Life Gem.
The Monkey Talisman has some limitations; it can only transform life forms or objects into various animal forms, and cannot perform other transformations.
In order to slack off and cultivate during work, Li Qing chose to transform the Life Gem into a small snake, which is small in size and easy to carry.
Holding the jade snake in his hand, Li Qing absorbed its life energy as he strolled along.
......
Now that he knew that the president was a powerful backer behind his identity, Li Qing no longer needed to worry about Warden Norton's expression and attitude, and could act as he pleased.
He completely ignored the strange looks from the other guards and strolled around Shawshank Prison with impunity.
The sports field at Shawshank Prison is so large that it would be more than enough to accommodate all the prisoners for their leisure and recreation.
To the north is the outer wall, with a watchtower at each end, where several armed guards patrol, equipped with binoculars and shotguns.
To the south is the truck unloading area. Shawshank Prison has a total of five unloading areas, with goods constantly coming in and out.
To the east was a thick wall, and on the other side of the wall were the cells of the Fifth District.
To the west are the offices and the medical clinic.
Shawshank Prison has a factory that manufactures car license plates and a large laundry room.
The prisoners in the prison work in factories and laundries to earn meager wages.
The laundry room is responsible for washing and ironing all the bed sheets and clothes in the prison, and also washes bed sheets and clothes for a hospital and a nursing home.
In addition, there is a large auto repair shop where inmates work as mechanics to repair prison vans, city and state government vehicles, and of course, private cars belonging to prison staff. Parole board vehicles can also often be seen parked there waiting for repairs.
......
Li Qing stopped at the infirmary on the west side. Two prisoners carried a stretcher out of the infirmary, and a fat figure on the stretcher was covered with a white sheet.
After two prisoners carried a stretcher out of the infirmary, a middle-aged white guard followed them out.
Is this person dead?
Seeing the figure covered by the white cloth, Li Qing stood in front of the two prisoners.
The two prisoners were stopped by Li Qing. They were about to get angry, but when they saw Li Qing's uniform, as well as the baton and pistol at his waist, they immediately choked.
The white guard was taken aback when he saw Li Qing's Asian features and the uniform he was wearing, but he didn't say anything. In Shawshank Prison, since Li Qing was wearing a uniform, he was considered a colleague, and he couldn't really say anything.
Li Qing walked to the stretcher and lifted the white cloth covering the obese figure.
Beneath the white sheet was a face battered and bruised, eyes wide open, lifeless and pale, showing no signs of breathing; clearly, the person was beyond dead.
The body lying on the stretcher looked very familiar to Li Qing. Wasn't this the chubby prisoner who had just entered the prison yesterday?
died?
Did Haley beat that fat guy to death last night?
The prisoner was subjected to vigilante justice, resulting in his death.
Haley, you're really something...
In the original storyline, Haley was not affected or punished at all after killing the criminal, and continued to work as usual.
Upon closer examination, there seems to be only one reasonable explanation—that Warden Norton helped him suppress the matter behind the scenes.
In a prison, a place filled with rules and restrictions, murder is an extremely serious crime.
If discovered, he would not only face severe legal sanctions, but it could also cause resentment among other prisoners. However, Haley was able to escape so easily, which clearly indicates that he received some special care or protection.
Besides, one has to consider the owner before beating a dog; as Haley's owner, Warden Norton would definitely protect Haley.
After all, it's not unusual for a few prisoners to die in a place like a prison. If anyone asks, you can just say they died of illness.
Those prisoners were nothing but scum from the bottom of society. Their lives were as insignificant as ants. If they died, they died. It was no big deal.
In this cold and indifferent world, these prisoners have long been forgotten; their lives and deaths are meaningless to this world. They are merely a group of abandoned souls, eking out a living in dark corners, awaiting the judgment of fate.
For those who hold their lives in their hands, the lives of these prisoners are as insignificant as grass, and can be trampled and erased at will.
However, if news of a Shawshank prison guard killing an inmate were to get out, it would damage the reputation of Shawshank prison, and Warden Norton would naturally not want such a thing to get out during his term.
