Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Erke really has no time to do preemptive things to Lyle.

He does have his own power in this academy, but he didn't order anyone to do any unnecessary things. For his exhausted younger brother, it was too late for him to protect him, so how could he do something Yu Lai? It's not good for you.

But someone wanted to be unfavorable to Lyle, and Al knew it.

Because there is an eyeliner inserted by his mother in this academy.

This is more annoying, because Al doesn't have the guts to confront his mother Shelia blatantly.

For this mother, Al has always been obedient and has become a habit, never disobeying her ideas, and to be honest, Al still respects and loves his mother very much.

After all, in such a cruel environment as the Hawke family, it was his mother Shelia who insisted on protecting him and loving him, which made him live to this day.

Al had to return the favor of childbirth.

But Al didn't want Lyle to die, so if he wanted to help Lyle, he had to choose another compromise.

In the central control room, those malicious guys were talking.

And outside the door of the central control room, Al stood there, using the personal terminal in his hand to observe and eavesdrop on their conversations. From their conversations, we can know that their goal is indeed to kill Lyle, and their actions are also the same. It's very simple, it is to find a way to introduce a large number of Zerg into that passage. Doing so will force Principal Gaia to temporarily change his mind and choose not to open the door of that passage.

As long as the door is not opened, Lyle and the others will be blocked in that passage, and then they will be surrounded by bugs and slaughtered.

This is the easiest way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Al didn't eavesdrop at the door for too long, he just listened to the action plans and combat time of these people, and basically formed a rough solution in his brain, but the time was a bit tight, and only Al A person can act.

Al's power in this academy... To put it bluntly, most of it is controlled by his mother Shelia.

Rein may know about this, but he still sent Lyle in, into this dragon's pool and tiger's den.

To put it nicely, Al does have a lot of power, but to put it badly, he has always been alone.

Alone, alone, thought for a long time, and felt that he really needed some help, because he couldn't do it alone, it was just... who to ask for help, this is the question.

After returning to his room, Al thought carefully for a while, and then went out again. This time he went out, no longer avoiding suspicion or avoiding any cameras, he went directly to the puppet reserve area in the academy base.

Those puppets who have not signed a formal contract with the puppet master are usually locked in this so-called "puppet reserve area".

Before they officially become marionettes in the hands of the puppeteer, before it is determined that they are not dangerous, all puppets do not have the ability to move independently, and can only be locked up, locked up, and kept in cages.

They are like objects, waiting for their masters in the cage. If the master is in a good mood, they may pick them up for a stroll. If they are in a bad mood, the puppets will have to be kept there forever.

Some puppet masters basically didn't even look at the puppets locked in cages before they formally formed a contract with the puppets.

They even thought the puppets were disgusting and monsters, and they didn't want to look at them at all.

Al didn't do that, after all, he was very gentle, and Lair specifically told him to talk to his puppet and cultivate that kind of relationship.

So in order to cultivate the relationship, Al began to develop the habit of visiting and talking to the puppet every day from the day his puppet was sent to the Puppeteer Academy.

The golems are very silent, they will never say a word to you if you don't order them, but Al didn't expect their answer, he went to see the golem just because Lyle asked him to do so.

So he went, and in that "puppet reserve area", he saw his destined "golem" again.

It seems to be no different from other puppets, but the unique logo of the puppets on the neck is SSS-002, which is another golem with the SSS logo after Scar. of replacement.

Al's puppet is a very handsome looking young man, he seems to be not much older than Al, looks very young, probably only in his 20s, with shiny golden hair, a slender figure and a pair of With long legs, it was shrinking in the cage. It seemed that it sensed that Al was coming in. The puppet stepped forward and stood by the metal railing of the cage. It stared at Al with blood-red eyes without blinking. I see.

From the day the puppet arrived at the Puppeteer Academy, Al came to see him every day, chat with him, and then named the puppet Caesar.

Caesar was really quite young, and when Al saw him, he realized that he was probably a student dug out by the Academy from the military cadets who had just graduated from the military academy. Then poor Caesar followed into the gate of the research institute at a loss, and was transformed by the research institute into today's sad reminder.

Without self-will, you can only be someone else's lifelong puppet.

Speaking of sympathy for this puppet, Al may have some, but he is actually not a good person, so the feeling of sympathy just rippled slightly in Al's heart, and it didn't take long for it to sink Going down, it became calm like stagnant water.

Caesar in front of him is nothing more than a puppet in Al's eyes. Anyway, even Al himself is a puppet, and he has no extra energy to sympathize with others.

Al can only come to talk to Caesar every day. Golems are loyal listeners. Their silence and lack of self-will make Al feel some desire to talk.Probably because he knew that Caesar would never tell others about his topic, so every time Al came over, he would talk to Caesar about what he had experienced and what was in his heart.

His days in the Hawk family, the younger brother he loved and valued, the mother he respected and worried about.

At the beginning, Al really didn't know what to say to this puppet, so he just kept silent to Caesar. They looked at each other for a long time, and then naturally, Al greeted Caesar and said I couldn't help but confide some insignificant things, and once I spoke, Al couldn't stop.

Al's behavior was just unintentional, but perhaps it was in response to that sentence - as the saying goes, planting flowers on purpose will not bloom, but planting willows on willows will make shade without intention.

Caesar, who was regarded by Al as a tree hole to confide in every day, has been standing next to the iron railing of the cage since the beginning, eagerly waiting for Al to come over, waiting for Al to tell him a lot of strange things. Weird words.

Al didn't notice Caesar's change at first, but after a long time, he also realized Caesar's change. He found that this puppet was always looking at him intently, keeping his eyes on him and paying attention the whole time.

His red rabbit-like eyes are pretty, but this pupil color is not suitable for Caesar. Al thinks he should be suitable for the light-colored iris, blue or green, which must be very suitable for this young man.

Al reckoned that he should have had that eye color originally, but after turning into a puppet, his eyes had to become what they are now.

Al came to Caesar today because he actually wanted to establish a preliminary contract with him.

It's the kind that only kisses, the junior contract, the kind that can make the puppet protect him and follow him.

This preliminary contract can be made at any time. As long as he has his own exclusive puppet, Al has the right to do anything with this puppet. There is no problem in torturing his puppet like other puppeteers.

The reason for establishing this contract is that what Al wants to do next cannot be done by himself, and it may be dangerous, so Al wants to try to bring Caesar with him, maybe Caesar can protect him.

Al couldn't help but leaned closer to observe him, probably because Al brought his head closer, and Caesar over there also moved his head closer. The two of them were separated by a railing, and their faces were very close. Ling Ai Er felt a little ambiguous, and Ling Ai Er seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help taking half a step back.

Over there, Caesar seemed a little disappointed when he saw Al backing away. He reached out and grabbed the railing, widened his wet eyes, and looked at Al with a pitiful look.

Al was a little hesitant. Signing a contract with a puppet, even if it was only a junior one, meant that he would be bound to this puppet for the rest of his life, and Ai Er hadn't made up his mind yet. When he came here, in front of this puppet, all he thought about was the safety of his younger brother.

If it's for Lyle, then whatever sacrifices don't seem like a big deal.

Al's feelings for Lyle are very complicated. He really cherishes this younger brother. In his life of being manipulated for more than ten years, Lyle is the only one he wants to protect and associate with with his own will. Friends and relatives, so to some extent, Lyle is a very special existence to Al.

Al wants to protect him.

"My thinking is very selfish." Al said to Caesar in front of him, "Because I want to protect someone, I took you as a sacrifice. If you still have the will, maybe you will hate me and want to kill me. "

Caesar didn't seem to understand what Al was talking about, and he was still holding on to the railing of the cage tightly, staring at Al with big shining eyes. In his vague consciousness, he only thought that Al looked beautiful The appearance of this person is gentle and beautiful, just like what some dreams dream of.
