Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Major Gary asked the students if they were ready. In fact, he didn't wait for the students to answer, but turned around and led the team out. The students followed Major Gary spontaneously one by one without stopping. After they were out, Major Gary formed the procession into a long platoon, one after the other, and set off into the cold barren world.

In fact, this barren and cold planet feels like the earth to Lyle... It should be said that it is the earth at night. There are sandstones and uneven land everywhere. I don’t see any plants, and everything I pass is sand. stone.

And it was very cold. Even though I was wearing protective clothing, the cold still came in through the gaps, making it so cold that I couldn't stop shivering.

The coldness was so deep that the students felt their limbs were stiff, as if their bodies were being slowly frozen, and they couldn't move forward, and they would turn into a human figure in the ice as they walked. Scary optical illusion of ice sculptures.

Although it is so cold, this planet has a strange night sky that is not available on the earth. It is probably because the atmosphere of the distant stars is very thin. There is not much cover in the sky. Therefore, all the stars in the sky are truly exposed. In the eyes of everyone.

Those stars are very dazzling and seem to be close at hand. They look so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off.

What's more, the light of those stars seems to be projected on the land of this planet from far away, through the deep black curtain of the universe, and sprinkle silver brilliance on the entire land.Coupled with the cold, there are large areas of permafrost and ice in many places on the ground. These ice layers reflect the silver light. It feels like the ground and the sky are all emitting white or silver. of great brilliance.

Simply stunningly beautiful.

When the students looked up at the beautiful scenery, they couldn't help being intoxicated by the breathtakingly beautiful night scene. If someone still had a video camera or other equipment, they might not be able to hold back the intoxicated emotion, and couldn't stop Take lots of pictures.

The scenery on this planet is indeed the most beautiful scenery Lyle has ever seen in his life. It is a bit like a dreamy fairyland that only exists in people's imagination, but the reason why the fairyland is a fairyland is because it is not a place where humans live.

This cold land is not a place suitable for human habitation.

If it weren't for this group of students, who had gone through almost a month of brutal high-intensity training, running laps and doing exercises every day, and then continuing to run laps and doing exercises, they would pass out many times in the middle, So in this kind of running, running, running, running, exhausting days, the physical fitness of the big guy has improved in this way.

Although tired, the students are actually very grateful to Major Gary to a certain extent, because of his strictness, he has indeed trained the physical fitness of this group of students very well, which will definitely give the students a road to puppet masters in the future lay a solid foundation.

While Major Gary led the students forward, Lyle subconsciously reached out and touched the personal terminal in his pocket.

The texture of the personal terminal in his pocket made Lyle's heart slightly more stable.

He knew that after Major Gary took the students out for a while, he would definitely find a safe place to camp, camp and then sleep. During their sleeping time, Lyle would have the opportunity to use this personal terminal to communicate with the outside world .

He would first try to get in touch with that dead old man Clarence, and try to get Clarence to send a small spaceship to sneak over. If the small spaceship was late in the end, Lyle would have to think of another way.

Planning is always nice.

Now, however, Lyle faces a huge problem.

It has been almost a few hours since Major Gary left the base with one kind of students. During this period, a group of students followed the major and several of his entourage soldiers and walked forward on this beautiful but barren land without knowing the direction at all. , can only go straight ahead.

Lyle found that the outside of this planet was really too cold. It was okay at first, but as time passed, his body became more and more stiff, so that in the end, he was walking completely mechanically. Sometimes Lyle I can't even feel that my limbs are still conscious. When I walk, my hands and feet feel that they are not attached to my body.

Scar behind him seemed to feel Lyle's discomfort, and stretched out his hand to push Lyle forward. With Scar's help, Lyle forced himself to move forward for a certain distance, but halfway through, Lyle had to After stopping, he turned his head and looked back. He found that the students who were following behind him were walking more and more slowly, and they seemed to be unable to keep up.

However, Major Gary, who was walking in the front, and the few subordinate soldiers he brought out kept walking forward.

The speed of the few students walking in front of Lyle also slowed down, getting slower and slower, and some of them couldn't even take a step. Obviously, they couldn't stand the cold anymore, which was unbearable for them.

Lyle was a little anxious. Although Major Gary and his entourage said they were not walking fast, they did not intend to stop. Obviously they would not wait for this group of students, and only those who could keep up with them could live If you go down, those who can't keep up will freeze to death in the ice, and they don't care.

There are not a few students who die in this polar survival training every year. Basically, half of the candidates can be eliminated here. The elimination system of this school is so cruel that death means failure.

If possible, Lyle didn't want these students to die, not one of them.Because he knows that all the children here should be excellent. They have already stood out from many teenagers and girls. The population of the entire alliance is 30 billion, and there are more than ten alien colonies with extremely large populations. The children were selected from so many people, only more than [-].

This proves that they are unique in a sense, their spiritual power is their talent, such a group of talented people, but the puppet master school has to eliminate them in such a cruel way, Lyle really can't understand .

Obviously there are more, better and more perfect training methods, even if it takes longer, it doesn't matter, but this puppet master academy will eliminate more than half of the students just by training with physical fitness!

This is ridiculous!

So many rare talents are going to be wasted here, so what's the point of this academy being established?What's the point of the students who survived here! ?

Lyle couldn't help thinking back to the old students he had seen before, those students who had been in this school for more than a year, and his brother Al, could it be that they were also in such an environment Did it come alive?

Lyle remembered the puppeteer he saw in the restaurant, the puppet master who stabbed the palm of his puppet with a dining knife.

There was also Moite who led the freshmen and Lyle in at the beginning, the one who put a collar on his doll.

Lyle even thought of the principal of this academy, the principal named Gaia, and he remembered the puppet beside Gaia.

Gaia's puppet also has scars on its eyes, the kind of scars that seem to have been scratched several times, and may even dig out the eyeballs.

It stands to reason that the golem's self-healing ability is unmatched by anyone. As long as it is not dead, any scars on the golem's body will not be left, and it will heal in a short period of time, but the golem was left behind. The scar, that scar is fresh, it means that someone has caused him countless scars.

And the person who caused this scar can only be the owner of the puppet.

All these traces have proved a truth to Lyle, the students who survived in this puppet master academy, and finally became the students of puppet masters, are basically distorted.

They are indeed excellent, unique, and have the lifelong guardianship of the puppet.

But they are distorted, their hearts and even their souls are distorted out of shape. They have seen the cruelty of society and the cruelty of human nature, so they have become cruel, and only cruelty can keep them alive.

Lyle had to stop. He stretched out his hand to grab Scar beside him, and Scar also hugged Lyle's back. The two looked at each other on the cold but beautiful distant star, and neither of them spoke.

Maybe because he sensed Lyle's ups and downs, Scar wanted to comfort the man in his arms, but through the thick protective clothing and sturdy helmet, he couldn't touch Lyle, which made him a little disappointed.

He wanted to tell Lyle not to be afraid, not to worry, no matter what happened, he would protect Lyle well, and he would make Lyle never suffer any harm again.

Scar loves him, and Scar feels that she will love him forever, which is really amazing. Why is there such a person as Lyle in this world?It made Scar feel that he couldn't extricate himself, he thought they were destined to be together, forever together.

No matter what the future holds.

"I want to change that, Scar, and I know you'll support me unconditionally," Lyle told him, whether he could hear it or not.

"But I'm going to do it, I know I'm capable of it."

When Lyle said this, he suddenly walked back. He walked towards the students who were gradually being left behind because of their slow pace. Some of them were girls, and their faces were turning purple from the cold.

Maybe they saw Lyle in action, some of the boys who were walking in front of the team suddenly turned around and followed them together. They ignored Major Gary who was walking farther and farther in the front, and his accompanying soldiers. Of course, Major Gary The others did not pay attention to this group of students.

So this group of students gathered together, and the boys who were still strong pushed and dragged the students who were alone or weak, and after gathering everyone, Lyle felt in his backpack, felt Get out a long rope.

Major Gary prepared a complete set of equipment for going out. In addition to the rope, everyone had a trekking pole.

Since these things are prepared for the students, it is natural for them to use them.

Lyle handed the top end of the rope to Skar to hold, and then tied the end of the rope with the rope that the other students had brought out, and then straightened the rope, so that the students lined up one by one, Holding the rope, those who are strong stand in front, pulling the rope forward, so that they can lead the students behind to walk.

"Take out your trekking poles, the people behind can walk for a while holding the rope, and then stand in front when your strength recovers. I believe you are all conscious." Lyle adjusted in his helmet Radio audio, speaking to this group of students.

"Don't be too far away, don't fall behind, don't let go of the rope, and don't die." Lyle emphasized these few words. He encouraged this group of students and encouraged them sincerely. He said, "You are all good boys, So you should live well."

The students did not answer Lyle's words, but they all took the initiative to obey Lyle's command, so in the end, no one among them fell behind, and only Scar kept leading the group of students forward with the rope. Scar didn't use much strength to pull the rope, because the stronger boys in front were all working hard.

The cold ice, the barren land, and the howling wind did not stop the footsteps of this group of children. They managed to keep up with Major Gary in the end, and none of them fell behind.
