Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Relying on his tricks of deception, Lyle successfully fooled a group of young people who are ignorant of the world to obey his command. Lyle also felt a little bit of guilt in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that he was not completely fooling people.

Before Lyle left the Hawk family and boarded the spaceship of the Puppeteer Academy, Clarence also came over and said goodbye to Lyle. According to Clarence, he said that he tried to improve the puppet and puppet through some research. The success rate of bonding between puppeteers.

The key to Clarence's research this time comes from Lyle and his family Scar.

Because Clarence discovered that the spiritual contract between Lyle and Scar is very different from the spiritual contract between other puppeteers and puppets.

Although this special spiritual contract is very different, it is also very safe, which will greatly reduce the death rate of both the puppet and the puppet master, and at the same time have an unusually high degree of tacit understanding.

So Clarence decided to study it carefully. If Clarence's research is successful this time, then Lyle can indeed help these children survive successfully.

Not only can he help these children live well, but he can also help them all become puppet masters smoothly.

In fact, Lyle himself is vaguely aware of the crux of the problem. He has been wondering whether the contract between other puppet masters and golems will be one-sided, rather than two-sided like Lyle and Ska.

Because the puppets don't understand their master's thoughts, let alone their masters, the puppets will feel fear and can't help but start to resist, which makes the puppet master unable to control the puppets well, and the chances of the puppets becoming manic will be greatly increased Increase.

When Lyle thought about it, he suddenly felt that he might have really thought of the crux of the problem.

So he wanted to experiment, and experimented on the group of young freshmen in front of him.If Lyell had changed the minds of these children from the very beginning, so that they would not be afraid of the golem, let them try to understand the golem, and let the golem understand themselves, would the situation be completely different.

……

Major Gary always felt that this group of freshmen was a bit weird today.

But I don't know exactly where the blame is. It is probably because a few freshmen looked at him, which made Major Gary feel uncomfortable. I always feel that these children seem to be planning something, but Major Gary is very confident. He thinks , no matter what these kids are planning, he has the means to deal with it.

According to Major Gary's plan, the physical training class of this group of freshmen has almost passed halfway, and after halfway, they need to undergo more rigorous training, so Major Gary planned early in the morning to take a group of children outside the base, to go to the cold and barren Do polar survival training on the land.

This survival training is very necessary. It tests the survivability and willpower of these young people. This training will allow these children to survive on the battlefield in the future and greatly increase their chances of survival.

However, the polar survival training is also very dangerous. Over the years, when Major Gary led the previous freshmen to train, at least three or four people would die. No matter how much preparation work was done, death seemed to be like a shadow, shrouding every freshman. on the forehead.

Therefore, Major Gary really had no time to care about the secret tricks of these freshmen. He had too many things to prepare. First of all, he had to prepare the outing equipment for more than 30 people in the class.

It was very cold outside the base. If they didn't wear special equipment to keep out the cold and carry oxygen cylinders, ordinary humans would not be able to survive for a few minutes and would die instantly.

So these equipment for going out are very necessary, but in addition to equipment, Major Gary also needs to prepare other things, such as planning the action route.

Polar survival training is very dangerous. In order to prevent immediate rescue from accidents, Major Gary cannot take these children too far away from the base, so he can only take these children to operate near the base.

But even if he was only operating nearby, he also had to plan his route. He planned to take the freshmen around the entire base. Because of the rugged terrain, this time it was likely to take many days outside.

Therefore, food and water and things for camping must also be prepared.

At the same time, Major Gary also took away things from the students that might be able to communicate with the outside world, such as personal terminals.

The puppet master training base is equipped with a large-scale shielding device, so that no one in the base can use the planetary network to connect to the outside world, but after leaving the base, that is, after leaving the range of the shielding device, the personal terminal will resume its function and be able to connect Go to the planet network and send messages to the outside world.

This is not allowed in the Puppeteer Academy, so Major Gary will ask all the freshmen to hand over their personal terminals or other devices that can communicate with them today, and store these things in the management office of the academy. superior.

This kind of situation has actually happened before. Some students used some means to hide from the world while going out for polar survival training. They kept their personal terminals and took them out of the base, and then tried to contact the outside world and ask for assistance.

But the student's behavior was quickly discovered by the instructor who was leading the training at that time. The instructor tried to take away the student's personal terminal, but the student refused, and then the instructor killed him with a single shot.

Yes, it was really a one-shot kill.

In this academy, the instructors can do this. If the students do something that seriously violates the regulations, the instructors, tutors, and soldiers guarding duty are all qualified to kill the students.

Because these students start out in this school, they are not treated as human beings.

It may be that this year's freshmen are too active, which is different from the previous ones, so this time, Major Gary emphasized many times, especially in front of the freshmen. Tell them about how they got in touch, but were killed in the end.

"I don't want such idiots among you. If you don't want to die too badly, you'd better strictly abide by my rules, as well as the college's rules!"

Major Gary was pacing at the front of the queue. He glanced at the group of students in front of him, and at the same time continued to speak in a threatening voice: "There are no confinement rooms outside the base, so if you still violate the regulations outside, you will be punished." It’s no longer as simple as locking you up in a confinement room, I might throw you into the ice and freeze to death if I wanted to.”

Major Gary's words made the students silent, no one spoke, but their eyes were all on Major Gary in unison. The students' eyes were burning, but Major Gary didn't care.

"Now, hand over all your personal terminals or other communication equipment. At night, I will take someone to search your dormitories one by one. I hope you will take care of your hands, feet and mouths, and don't give me any crooked ideas. .”

When Major Gary said this, he looked at the guards next to him. Those soldiers understood the major's intentions and took the initiative to go forward and start searching for the personal terminals in the hands of all the freshmen.

The soldiers held a bag in their hands, and they threw the things they found from the students into the bag one by one.

Seeing this scene, Lyle glanced at the personal terminal tied to his wrist, then turned his head slightly, and looked at a classmate standing on his left.

The classmate on Lyle's left was named Louis, a tall boy, and he seemed to notice that Lyle was watching him, so Louis turned his head and looked at Lyle, and nodded to Lyle without a trace.

Then, when the soldiers searched everyone's communication equipment one by one, some students started to make a fuss.

The way they make trouble is also very simple. For example, a soldier searched in front of a certain student. The student wanted to remove the personal terminal from his hand very peacefully, but he took off the terminal very slowly. After tossing for a long time, that person The small machines at the terminals are still strapped to the students' wrists.

Then the soldier got impatient and started yelling at the students, "Hurry up!"

Immediately afterwards, the student echoed as if on purpose: "I'm fast! It's stuck! It can't be removed! You're in a hurry! Cut off my hand!"

Of course, it was impossible for the soldier to cut off the student's hand at that time. After all, the student did not make a mistake or violated the regulations. personal terminal.

But not only the soldier was impatient, but also Lyle, who had already taken down his personal terminal, said to the soldier, "Take mine away first."

As he said that, Lyle also sent the personal terminal in his hand directly to the soldier. The soldier didn't think too much, reached out and took the terminal and threw it into his bag. Students who cannot remove their personal terminals.

Then, the personal terminal that the student couldn't get off was finally removed. He rolled his eyes and gave the soldier a contemptuous look, and threw the small machine in his hand at the soldier's face, and the soldier easily grabbed the personal terminal.

The soldier also glanced at the student in disgust. After stuffing his personal terminal into his pocket, he looked at Lyle standing beside him smiling, and asked him, "Is there nothing else?"

Lyle stretched out his empty hands to show the soldiers that he didn't have any communication equipment on him.

The soldier really didn't find anything on Lyle, so the soldier skipped him, but turned his attention to Scar beside Lyle. Scar had a cold handsome face and stared at the soldier with murderous eyes. , startled the soldier slightly.

"Ska!" Lyle yelled, and then Ska over there stretched his arms as if reluctantly, and asked the soldier to search his body.

The soldier didn't dare to search too much, because Ska looked really not easy to mess with, so he simply scanned it with the detection equipment in his hand, and found nothing unusual.

Then the soldiers started searching other students' belongings.

Lyle looked at the back of the soldier, and then at Scar beside him.

Scar stared at Lyle with her beautiful red eyes, that gaze was so seductive that Lyle couldn't help it a little bit, he leaned over and kissed the corner of Scar's mouth while no one around was paying attention.
