Eat marrow and taste

Due to the injury to his muscles and bones, Ye Ze does not need to participate in the physical training for the next two days.

When he was not training, he used to visit Wei Xiao, but a week had passed since the rock-climbing accident, and the person lying on the bed still showed no sign of waking up.

This afternoon, Ye Ze returned to his dormitory after attending the AI ​​control class. He simply took a shower and prepared to go to the hospital. Just after he came out of the bathroom, he saw the message on the communicator.

It's from someone I haven't spoken to in a long time.

Ye Ze was a little surprised, and clicked on the news to see.

"Ye Ze, hello. I'm AT11. The dean passed away a few days ago, and I can't contact Wei Xiao, so if you see this message, please tell him that you can come at ten o'clock tomorrow morning Orr is here to attend the funeral. If you are free, I hope to join you. Thank you. ——Sincerely AT11"

After reading the news, Ye Ze's emotions became a little complicated for a while.

AT11 is the old dean's personal robot. He treats AT11 like his own child, but he didn't expect it to die for him in the end.

Wei Xiao couldn't go there anymore, but during the years when Ye Ze was in the orphanage, the old director fulfilled his duties and kept getting enough welfare money for these children from the Imperial Alliance.

The old dean has no relatives, and the children from the orphanage and AT11 have been with him for many years. Now that he is gone, they should go back and have a look.

Ye Ze didn't expect that he would be stopped, but Steer's senior senior who served as the guard told him in a cold tone that he was currently in a closed training period, and he was not allowed to go in and out unless there were special circumstances.

The other party's attitude was very firm, Ye Ze knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he turned and left without saying a word.He sent a voice request to Ye Mu, and this was the first time Ye Zelaistel sent a message to Ye Mu.

Ye Mu listened to his request, discussed with Ye Lan and his grandfather, and conveyed their opinions.

Ye Ze got a little impatient when he heard it: "I've said it all, it's just a trip back, how could something go wrong?"

The voice of the man over there said calmly: "Father, they think you will easily cause trouble when you go out. I know from your instructor that you were injured a few days ago. Just take care of yourself in school and don't always think about running outside."

After a tug-of-war between the two, Ye Ze finally knew that they would not agree, so he directly turned off the signal, and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, he already had a decision in his mind.

In the middle of the night, Ye Ze used the shielding device to escape the monitoring of the infrared light and turned over the school wall.

He found a secluded robot-themed bar to sit for the night, and early the next morning he took the maglev train to Orphanage.

Half an hour later, he was standing outside the walls of the orphanage.It was still as it existed in his childhood memory, and there were several paths outside the wall, from which he could walk into the back door.There are some unknown small flowers growing on the roadside, and occasionally there will be a few birdsong.

When he stood in front of the iron gate and was about to ring the bell, there was a clicking sound from inside as the machine walked.Knowing the voice, Ye Ze lowered his hands, stood outside, and waited quietly.

AT11 appeared behind the iron gate. It saw Ye Ze, waved its hand at him mechanically, the green lights in its eyes lit up, and walked to the gate step by step, opening the door for Ye Ze.

Ye Ze stepped into it, stepped on the soft grass mat, looked around, and then reached out his hand to shake AT11.The texture of the metal touches human skin, and the grip is quickly loosened.

Following AT11 into the big house, everything around Ye Ze felt very familiar.This is the place where he grew up, those memories are very pale, but there are also some bright colors that will not disappear.

The old dean had no family members, so AT11 notified the government, and then sent the pastor and the funeral director. The children were also there. They didn't understand what death was, and looked at the pastor singing the funeral song with curious eyes.

The old man walked away very peacefully. AT11 told Ye Ze that he did not experience any pain, but passed away on a sunny and warm afternoon. He was discovered by a little boy who loved to listen to stories. When it was time to tell him stories, the old man The dean didn't wake up, and the story was only half told after all.

After hearing what happened to Wei Xiao, AT11's screen dimmed, which was its way of expressing sadness.Not many people came to the funeral of the old dean this time. Most of them were taken away by wealthy families without children. With a new life, the past may no longer be important.

The coffin of the old dean was put into the moist soil, and the burial people filled it in bit by bit.At this moment, Ye Ze felt AT11 gently touch his body, Ye Ze quickly understood, and followed it to the nearby garden.

Walking through the blooming Entreme bushes and the hot spring with the sound of water, AT11 slowly stabilized its footsteps.

It spoke to Ye Ze with a mechanical voice: "Can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"You said."

The light hole of AT11 lit up, and continued: "I hope you can help me activate the destruction system."

Ye Ze stared blankly at the robot in front of him, and it took a while before he suddenly understood.

For all domestic robots, being with humans is their life's work.A lot of robots develop human emotions in the process, and AT11 apparently does too.

The so-called destruction system is that when the robot is voluntarily turned on, the human presses the confirmation button, and the robot will undergo physical brain death, and all his past will be destroyed, whether it is returned to the factory or directly scrapped. The processing plants are disassembled into parts one by one, which means the end for them.

Seeing that Ye Ze didn't speak, AT11 explained seriously: "I have been with the principal for many years, and now I will be sent to another family. I don't want a new master, so I hope you can help me end all this."

Ye Ze pursed his lips tightly, and after a while he said in a low voice, "But you won't remember anything about the dean."

"When you press the confirmation button, that me has disappeared, and it will always remember, so it's good."

Ye Ze never thought that he would be trapped in such a choice. Standing in the sunny garden, he thought of the old dean who lovingly told him and Wei Xiao stories for many years. Flowers, everything is so so quiet and warm.Even though he has been ostracized countless times here, Orr still carries many happy days.

This is enough.

For AT11, it is also enough.

Ye Ze collected himself, turned his gaze back to the robot waiting for his answer, and said slowly and briefly: "Okay."
