章節 10: Parallel life

I woke up wondering if I was asleep or if someone had kidnapped me. Where is my stone, where are the soldiers? I remembered being in my laboratory before a strange-coloured gas entered, and hearing many footsteps and swords. There was no room for resistance, he surrendered. How could they do that to me? I helped people more than I helped myself with this stone that God honored me with.

I sacrificed my happiness to treat the injured villagers. It is impossible for the soldiers to find me on their own. Someone from the villagers must have informed them. I opened my eyes as I struggled to breathe in this suffocating place. What is this dark place? There is no light but some faint rays, like candlelight or a small flame. What is this? Are these bars? Am I imprisoned in a cave? What happened? Where were you?

The first thing that comes to a prisoner's mind when he finds himself alone is to cry out, and this is what I did: "Where am I? Who put me here, you oppressors?" One of them answered me in a sleepy voice, "Please keep your voice down, and I'll tell you what I heard. We are here in a secret prison. This is where the state holds prisoners who want something from them, rather than just take away their freedom. When they brought you here, I heard someone say, " Without his stone, he can't do anything." It seemed he was just a villager. I didn't realize it until I found myself sitting here. Like a man who had received a death sentence, I thought of the horror and loathing of these people. What harm could my help do to them? Instead, I gave my effort and time in curing them.If I could create a talking animal, I would do her and make her my friend, brother, and extended family.As for a wife, I don't need one.I have no problem suppressing my desires and instincts.What I experienced from my ex-wife was worth it.

Don't worry, there is hope that you will get out of this prison and have a better life than this. I replied with regret: But how, my brother? how? The prisoner said "After an unknown period of time, a psychiatrist visits you like most of the prisoners here. But he will not come to treat you, but to take from you what the soldiers want. If you can give them what they want, you will be released and you will live a more privileged life." I replied: It seems that you did not give them what they wanted, did you? Between myself and myself, I am sure that what they want from me does not deserve to be in their hands. I don't regret that they caught me because I knew they would eventually. I'm sorry the villagers betrayed me. As for the soldiers, I've been running away from them for a while now.

The prisoner asked: What is this thing that the soldiers do all this? Some suspicion began to creep in: could this prisoner also be an accomplice of the soldiers? I must weigh my words carefully, for anything is possible. I replied: It is nothing unusual. It's just an ordinary stone, more or less. The way I was treating people was just famous Chinese folk medicine methods.
