The faint lamp on the experimental table stretched Ishii's shadow very long, and Lin Yunjue at the door looked at him quietly.

Woo. Whining.

The incomparably brittle tears lost their soul's support and scattered on the ground with broken threads.

Xie Tong...... Thank...... Same ......" Ishii cried out in pain and slowly fell to his knees.

There was no one to comfort him, no one to accompany him.

All mistakes have a reason, all departures are loneliness, no one knows, what the other world will be like.

The humanoid projector shimmered with a little green light, and it existed like phosphorus fire in the darkness. The cry of repentance echoes through the void for eternity.

The lights are on.

Lin Yunjue gently walked up to the projector, touched its small and delicate head, and whispered a word of hard work and took it in his hand.

Still on his knees, perhaps sensing the presence of the light, Ishii raised his head tremblingly and looked pitifully and helplessly ahead.

Lin Yunjue sat cross-legged on the ground, put the humanoid projector in front of Shi Jing, and said softly:

"This is a gift from Xie Tong."

Ishii was stunned and tried to touch it with his hand, but just as he was about to touch it, a hand stopped him.

"It's not this, it's the video just now."

Ishii: "......" The original sad mood has disappeared for some reason.

Lin Yunjue shook his head amusedly, and sighed softly: "It turns out that Xie Tong is really gone." ”

Ishii's eyes darkened again, and he slowly got up, leaning against the lab table and curling into a ball.

"Yes."

Lin Yunjue looked at the robot on the table and said, "What are you going to do?" You've not made any progress at all these days, have you? Tomorrow is the day of the selection, and there was not much hope at all, but now there is no hope at all. ”

"Yes."

Lin Yunjue: "Tell me, why did you resist participating in the school celebration so much in the first place?" If you do it well with Xie Tong, maybe the result will be different. ”

No sound.

Lin Yunjue: "At that time, I said that you were lazy, but now I feel more than that." ”

Ishii was still silent, but this time, there was plenty of time waiting for him.

Finally, Ishii slowly spoke: "I don't want Xie Tong to work so hard in the last time, I don't want him to only study in his last memory, I want to play with him all the time." There were many reasons why I didn't attend the celebration at that time, and you were right, I was lazy, I was afraid of failure, and I didn't want to challenge things that had little chance of success. ”

"The companion robot is actually the goal I set for him, so that he has the motivation to go on with me. Xie has no opinions about himself, and I have the same as him. Lin Yunjue, you're right, what is my dream, maybe, I don't have it at all. ”

"Life without goals is fake, people without dreams are garbage, and I am such garbage."

Lin Yunjue: "Yes, you are garbage, a garbage who doesn't know where to go." Come, sit down, and I'll tell you a story. ”

"Story?" Ishii raised his head and looked at Lin Yunjue strangely,

Lin Yunjue smiled mysteriously: "Yes, the full name of the story is called "Cloud Story", and only three people in this world know the whole content." ”

Ishii's depressed mind inexplicably has a small expectation.

With a slight cough, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yunjue's mouth, and his eyes fell into fragments of memories.

……

Once upon a time, the turtle's most confident specialty was not its own defense, but its speed, faster than that of a rabbit.

Rabbit, the most confident specialty is not the pair of legs and feet that are like flying, but the mind, with the survival wisdom of the cunning rabbit three holes.

On this day, the animals hold a sports day, and only the rabbit and turtle group are left in the marathon.

This tortoise is the fastest of the tortoises, and the hare is the slowest of the hares.

As soon as the gun sounded, the tortoise kept leading as all the spectators thought, and soon threw the rabbit out of sight.

The tortoise stopped and looked back at the rabbit and couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

It's a shame to be embarrassed to come to the game at such a slow pace, and I feel like I have no problem sleeping well.

The tortoise looked closely behind him again, and to make sure that there was no trace of a rabbit, he unceremoniously stayed under a nearby tree and dozed off.

Trash is trash, and you can sleep faster than you.

The sun slowly set, leaving only the sound of the turtle purring.

"Wake up, turtle!"

An unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears, and the turtle slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly realized that he was still competing.

The rabbit, affectionately calling the tortoise in the sunset.

It's over, it's all over.

If I slept so late, the game should be over. When I thought that the fastest of the tortoises could outrun the slowest of the rabbits, I didn't know how to face my compatriots.

"Turtle, you're finally awake, so let's continue the game." The rabbit said happily. The pupils are crystal clear, without a trace of impurities.

"Huh? Isn't the game over yet? The turtle couldn't help but ask.

"No one has reached the end, so why end?" The rabbit replied curiously.

"You...... Shouldn't I secretly win a game while I'm sleeping? "The turtle looked like a child making a mistake, and his face was flushed.

"I just got here, and when I saw you sleeping, I couldn't help but wake you up."

The rabbit laughed shyly, a smile as pure as an angel in the tortoise's heart, ashamed of his ugly thoughts.

Compared to the rabbit, the tortoise finds itself how humble it is.

"Let's go, let's keep playing, come on!" The rabbit gave the tortoise a gesture of encouragement and ran forward as best he could.

It's obviously running forward, but in the eyes of the turtle, it's squirming.

It's so slow, like a rabbit, no wonder it took so long to get here.

The tortoise couldn't stand it, so he easily lifted the rabbit with his teeth and put it on his shell.

The rabbit subconsciously let out an exclamation.

"Ahh

The tortoise said to the hare in a friendly way, "I'll take you to the end, you won't be able to reach this speed tomorrow." ”

"But ......"

Before the rabbit could finish speaking, the tortoise reminded him to grasp it, and ran forward quickly.

That's the rabbit never feels the speed,

The wind was like a blade, cutting the rabbit's cheek continuously.

After a while, the tortoise saw that the end was in sight, slowed down his pace, and said kindly:

"Let's ...... together"

The snow-white figure flashed before the turtle's eyes, and the rabbit shrunk into a ball, and rolled past the finish line under the turtle's stunned gaze.

Salute, blow for the victors.

The tortoise froze in place, watching the hare's victorious mockery, and finally understood.

I was taken advantage of.

After the games, the turtle was scolded by his own people. The supposedly fastest tortoise can't even outrun the slowest of the rabbits, doesn't this mean that the tortoise can't outrun the rabbit?

The great sense of loss of the clan brought unparalleled pressure to the tortoise, and the tortoise was subjected to daily insults from the clan.

In this world where only the result is concerned, no one cares about the process at all.

The tortoise disappears from the animal's view.

I don't know how many years have passed, the turtle has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, challenging the rabbit.

It's still the turtle, it's still the rabbit, but it's no longer human.

As soon as the gun horn sounded, the turtle buried its head in the sky, not looking at anything, thinking about nothing, just wanting to cross the finish line.

This time, no one can influence me!

The salute, once again sounded for the victors.

The winner, or the rabbit.

The tortoise stopped not far from the finish line and watched as the hare laughed at it as it had done back then.

This time it's a gap in pure strength.

The turtle finally understood. A tortoise is a tortoise, a rabbit is a rabbit, no matter how much the tortoise runs, it can't outrun the rabbit, and no matter how much the rabbit plays, it can outrun the tortoise.

I look like a tortoise, my name is a tortoise, my speed is a tortoise, and there is an absolute gap between me and a rabbit, and I will never be able to outrun a rabbit.

The turtle left the arena in despair.

Later, the tortoise became slower and the hare became faster.

After a long time, the Animal Games once again welcomed the turtle and the rabbit in the same group.

The animals affectionately call this race: tortoise and hare race.

The sound of gunfire was deafening.

For whom will the salute of victory be sounded?

……

The story ends.
