Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Just as Major Gary led the students, the remaining soldiers who survived, plus Al and his puppet, and the group returned to the base in a mighty manner, Anthony was also facing the monitoring at this moment. The camera watched for a long time unwillingly. In the surveillance camera, Principal Gaia was leading people to slowly open the door of the safe passage of the base.

After the door opened, Major Gary came in from behind the door first, behind him were all kinds of wounded soldiers, the wounded being carried by the students, and Al also led his puppet Caesar into the door.

Principal Gaia put on a smirk and pretended to welcome the escaped people enthusiastically, but no one among the students paid attention to him, even Major Gary ignored Gaia and carried his wounded soldiers into the door Just go straight to the medical room.

Anthony couldn't stand it anymore, turned off the monitoring screen, and then very angrily, slapped the table next to his hand hard. The table was creaked by him, which fully proved Anthony's extremely angry mood at the moment.Beldo, the student representative of the third grade, stood behind Anthony and kept silent. After a long time, Anthony, who had beaten the table enough, said to Beldo: "I think I have to talk to Shelia about this."

Beldo then said, "Are you referring to the fact that Al left the base privately?"

Anthony looked angry: "Is there anything else!? If he hadn't ignored our plan and left the base to find those people, that damned Lyle would have died in the mouth of the bug. !"

Hearing this, Bello looked at Anthony blankly. The 17-year-old looked very cold and indifferent, giving people a very numb illusion. Bello said: "Don't you think that Al left the base without permission? ...is this something strange?"

"Oh! Yes! It's really strange, he just runs around outside when his brain is twitching!" Anthony was even more annoyed, and he wanted to throw things and beat the table violently, "He went out with a bag that didn't even What does he think about the puppet who has undergone relevant training? Do you think that with the puppet, he will be invincible in the world!?"

Here, Bello made Anthony calm down a lot with one sentence, Bello said: "I didn't mean that...Anthony, Al has always been a responsible person, and he has never done such extraordinary things before. But he did it today, and his purpose is obvious, he went directly towards the group of freshmen, or he went directly towards Lyle, he just wanted to save Lyle."

"Save Lyle?" Anthony looked shocked, stared at Beldo, and said, "You said he was going to save that Lyle? Lyle Hawk?"

Beldo nodded slightly to confirm: "That's right, he was going to save his brother."

Anthony slammed the table again, and roared: "I'm sure his brain must be flooded, save his competitors? Save his enemies? My God! How did Shelia give birth to such a son!?"

Beldo said: "Calm down, Anthony, no matter why he did it for whatever reason, I think we should ask him for his own opinion."

"What's the point of asking!?" Anthony was very irritable, "I must tell Xie Liya about this immediately, and let her take a look at the good son I gave birth to. He really deserves to be the seed of Rain..."

Beldo frowned, and said to Anthony: "Anthony, you should control your own mouth."

"Are you thinking that I don't speak well?" Anthony seemed to find it difficult to be corrected by others for his shortcomings. He felt that Berdo's words were ironic, so he looked at Berdo with a ferocious face and said, "Is there something wrong with me?" Is it wrong? It's all because of that damn Rein!"

Hearing enough of Anthony's cursing, Beldo didn't continue to talk to Anthony, so he turned and left the monitoring room. He decided to talk to Al who had just come back through the door.

Beldo knew Anthony's character. Anthony estimated that after he stepped out of the monitoring room, he would immediately contact Al's mother Shelia. He would tell Al to destroy their plan, leave the base in violation of regulations, and go to the rescue alone. Lyle waited for a series of things, and told Shelia in full. After hearing about it, Shelia would definitely go to trouble with Al.

So Bello wanted to talk to Al before that, so that Al could be mentally prepared.

In order to train her son into a perfect talent, Shelia, as a mother, has indeed done a lot for Al.She gave Al everything she could, and she gave this son almost everything she could.

Except for mother's love.

For Xie Liya, Al is not like her son, but more like her tool. He is the trump card that she designed and cultivated in every possible way. I have a lot of money, but it seems that nothing has been given to him.

Ever since he was a child, Al has always been an obedient and filial boy. Shelia has always instructed him to walk and do what he does, and he will do what he does.He walked on the road and life that he had planned, well-behaved, and never deviated a step. Beldo almost never heard Al complaining in front of him.

Beldo is also a "friend" arranged for him by his mother Shelia in the life of Al, the puppet.

Xie Liya has very strict control over Al's circle of friends and contacts.She will tell her son, tell him which people to ignore, which people to try their best to make friends with, who to be friends with, and who to be with can be profitable. Shelia will strictly go to Al Do it, she will help Al plan one by one in advance.

So Al can only ignore those who make him feel good, and become so-called "friends" with a group of guys that he really, really hates in his heart.

Xie Liya also seems to realize that always making Al be friends with those dubious guys is not conducive to his growth and mental development, so she specially prepared a few children she had screened for Al , to be regarded as Al's "confidant".

Xie Liya would go to the orphanage or trusted subordinates to find children who were about the same age as Al. She let Al play with these so-called "confidantes" since she was a child. She let them develop feelings for each other and let them trust each other. Make them real friends.

But behind the scenes, Xie Liya controlled these close friends of Al. She asked Beldo to monitor her son, and Beldo had to report to her every move of Al.

After that, Beldo had to enter the Puppeteer Academy in advance to pave the way for Al. Existences like Beldo are stepping stones in Al's life.

However, this also means that in the more than ten years since Al has lived to this day, Al has not had a friend who can really make friends with him. His surroundings are all that Xie Liya prepared for him, and what he has done Everything in life and everyone he meets is a drama directed by Xie Liya for him.

As a member of this hypocritical drama, Beldo has no ability to question, he never sympathizes or tries to save Al, he regards it as his job to surround Al, and it is a job .However, after he and Al got along for so long... Beldo actually understood Al, because he knew him, so without knowing it, Beldo also gave his own share to Al. emotion.

Deep down in his heart, in fact, at a certain moment, he really regarded Al as his friend.

He didn't want Al to get hurt, but he didn't know what to do so that Al would no longer be hurt.

Probably for Al, the existence of Beldo is a kind of harm.

Beldo waited for him at the door of Al's room. Al went back to his dormitory to change clothes, and Beldo was waiting for him there. When they met, Al smiled at him and said, "Bell How much? Why are you here?"

Beldo carefully observed Al up and down, and seeing that he was in good condition and uninjured, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and then looked at the puppet next to Al.

"You shouldn't go out casually, Al." Beldo told him, "I believe you already know the consequences of doing so."

Al smiled softly: "Are you here to remind me? You are such a good person, Beldo."

Beldo frowned slightly: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course I understand." Al was still smiling, his smile was like a spring breeze, as if he was very happy, Al said, "I did something today that I never dared to do before, although it was frightening at first, But I didn't expect that after finishing it, I would feel surprisingly good."

"You should think about what your mother will think." Beldo became serious, with a dignified tone, "You will incur serious consequences just to be quick."

Al didn't speak, he lowered his head, his soft black hair slid down the corner of his forehead, his eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog.Caesar standing next to Al didn't quite understand the meaning of the conversation between the two, but Caesar keenly felt that his master's mood was slightly depressed, so Caesar nervously moved over, grabbed Al's paw, and tried to give Al took some reassurance.

His actions caused Al to turn his head to look at Caesar, seeing that Caesar was still looking at him with small sparkling eyes, his expression and movements made him look very cute, Al couldn't help laughing again.

Maybe Caesar gave Al the courage, and Al suddenly felt full of strength, so Al said to Berdo: "I have been very tired, you know... Berdo, I think my belated rebellious period has arrived , I don’t want to follow the fixed routes in the past today, I hope I can do what I want to do, if you are here to preach to me, then you can stop now.”

Beldo stared at Al for a long time. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.In the end, Beldo sighed slightly, and said to Al: "I hope I can support you, Al... although I may not be able to."

"You want to change your life, so I won't hold you back, but I want you to trust the right people who can help you, if Lyle is worth your trust."
