Text XXXIV Memories of the Gray-robed Man

The sun was beautiful today and we were allowed to play outside for half a day. I like this day the most, sitting on the lawn, blowing the wind, looking at the clouds in the sky, thinking about who am I? It's nice not to be in a white room. But we still have to wear white, I hate it, I don't know why. The uncles, as always, were watching us with something called a gun. They never told us what the gun was for, and the people who used to sneak in the way of touching the gun are gone. They never smiled at us, unlike those fellow researchers, who were excited to see us.

In the afternoon we were taken back to our rooms. Today some more disappeared, and the uncles said, "They behaved well, and they were sent back to 'Mother'." I was thinking, "When will I go back to my mother?" What does my mother look like? Will she like me? "Oh, by the way, I'll be seven years old in a few days, and there are a lot of kids like me who have done the 'Awakening Ceremony' that day." "Every child who completes the 'Awakening Rite' can be better treated, and those who can't do it will be sent back to the 'Mother' and will die very quickly."

I finally completed the "Awakening Ceremony", and I was taken to another place, even more snow-white, and I had a name, called "Yixing". Each of us was brought here and had a "shadow" tattooed on our hands, saying that it would bless us.

In the first few days, they were very nice to us, but after that, some people started taking some people away, saying that they were treated alone, and some people said they were sent back to 'Mother'. All I know is that I never see them again. Gradually, there is more and more disappointment in their eyes, and their attitude is getting worse and worse, and we can all feel it. There are fewer and fewer children who are here with me. Finally, the day has come for me.

After doing the test as usual, I suddenly felt something coming out of my nostrils, and after that, I fell into darkness. I don't know how long it took, but I could faintly hear some sounds.

"Alas! Another failure, so much. ā€

"It's just, what's the use of cloning some scum all the time. The ability to extract is also scum. ā€

"Forget it, we're not allowed to do it right now, it's good to have these materials. After we succeed in our research, we will see if they still say that we are breaking the law. ā€

"Also, the ability is also very attractive to those powerful ordinary people."

……

After that, I felt like my body was split, I couldn't make a sound, but it really hurt, my soul was screaming, maybe I didn't even have a soul. I don't know how long it took me to feel myself moved, and at the same time a voice came, "These stupid guys, send them to their mother, ha, they don't have a mother in the first place, so they have to die." Haha......""That is, these clones can only be used as livestock. Baba blah blah, livestock are worth more than them. ā€

……

I was abandoned in the dark, something puncturing my tattered chest, and something soft, and some viscous liquid. I can only wait slowly for death, for it to be decomposed, and then to ferment. For a long time, I hadn't died, I could open my eyes, and I saw something, "Ah, why, why......" piles of corpses, all in tatters and unrecognizable. I could hear many souls like me struggling, screaming, we resented those people, we hated the world.

Hunger hit, and I dragged my mangled body to find food, but there was nothing, except for corpses, still corpses, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry." "I looked at these corpses, and my eyes lit up gray, but in the end I chose to die, because I didn't want these unfortunate people to suffer after death, and I was unfortunate and I didn't deserve to live. My consciousness was blurring again.

In the darkness, I saw a lamp, a man carrying a lantern, approaching like me. I thought I was dead, to the underworld or to hell. But he gave me a warm feeling, and I couldn't see his appearance clearly. He handed me a loaf of bread and motioned for me to eat it. I took it and gobbled it up. Gradually, he disappeared, but I heard a voice.

"I am your God, and I let you live unless I let you die. From now on you will be yourself, not someone else. I give you a new life, and you just have to believe in me completely. The voice was gone. I found that I was reincarnated with consciousness, from birth to death, I experienced a completely different life, I was really happy, all of which God gave me. Until after I died, I found that I had awakened on an altar, and I had changed my form, dressed in a gray robe, and there was nothing. There is only one voice: "Find yourself." ā€ć€‚ This was all God had given me, and since then I have embarked on the path God has chosen for me, and God has become my only faith, even though I never knew who He was.

This is the last command God has given me, even if it is for me to sacrifice my life, but I have no regrets because He is all I have. And just like that, I vanished in a patch of red, and I saw God's face, and His smile of satisfaction.
