Puppeteer [Interstellar]

The outer wall of the puppeteer training base is very strong, with a double-layer energy defense net, which can resist the invasion of the Zerg for a long time and keep all threats out of the door.

The bugs wandering outside the base are very clear that the delicious food is behind this layer of defense net, but even though they know it very well and try hard, the defense net still blocks them, keeps them outside, They couldn't get in, so they could only walk back and forth at the door, drooling at the smell of the food inside.

The strength of the Zerg lies in their perseverance. Even though they know that they may not be able to get in, the group of bugs still wander around the entire puppet master training base. In front of food, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they vow to find out a place that can break through and enter. base approach.

The persistence of the Zerg has allowed them to win countless victories. They know that no matter how strong the defense net is, there will still be a day when they will be wiped clean by their sharp claws and teeth. They are trying to destroy this layer of defense all the time, looking for all possible gaps on the human side.

The humans in the base all started to sit back and relax. Although their entire base was completely surrounded by swarms, the people inside the base inexplicably began to relax... because they all thought that the defense network of the base, The bugs have been successfully blocked outside.

People think that there is nothing to be afraid of. The defense network of the base is so strong and unbreakable. There are also various puppet masters and puppets with excellent abilities in the base. In any case, they will not be their opponents, so even if the Zerg really break through the defense net and come in, there is nothing terrible.

Except for the panic at the beginning, the crowd inside the base saw that the Zerg had been unable to break through the barrier for a long time, and looked helpless against the defense net. This group of people suddenly became paralyzed, and all became relaxed. They relaxed their vigilance. Standing on the observation deck at the highest point of the base, they watched the swarms of insects wandering around outside with the transparent defense net.

The bugs couldn't break through this seemingly thin defensive net, so they could only crawl around on this defensive net, yelling at the humans watching them from time to time.

It was the first time for some people in the base to see the specific appearance of the Zerg in such a close distance, and they were all surprised by it, so they all ran to the observation deck on the highest floor of the base to watch these bugs. When the bugs saw the food gathered in the defense net, they all swarmed one by one, howling and drooling at the food collectively.

The human beings under the security protection of the defense network are not aware of the threat that is close at hand. They point at the insects, make all kinds of comments and jokes, and some people even take pictures of the insects with their own personal terminals, and take pictures of those insects. The hideous and terrifying faces of the bugs are left in their photo albums.

However, although some people in this base are paralyzed and carefree, there are also people who are still vigilant and never slack off for a moment.

For example, Principal Gaia, when he saw a group of people standing on the observation deck of the base watching the worms, his face turned livid, and he called for the guards to arrest all the students or insignificant people who were watching. They rushed out and rushed back to their own room.

Then Gaia also asked the patrolling guards to strengthen their vigilance. At this stage, everyone must stay in their own houses for him. Whoever dares to go out at will, Gaia doesn't mind those soldiers shooting people to death on the spot.

As soon as Gaia's travel ban came out, a group of people in the base had to start obeying the order even after complaining. No one dared to go out casually, and could only huddle in their small rooms and wait.

On the other side, after Beldo left, Anthony, as expected by Beldo, used the communication equipment in the base to contact Shelia who was far away on the central planet immediately, and completed Al's affairs She told Shelia in a hurry, and Shelia frowned after hearing this, and asked Anthony to call Al to the communication room.

So Anthony left the communication room and went to look for Al.

At this time, Al and Beldo had just finished their conversation, Al went back to his room to rest, and Caesar followed him as always, and followed into Al's room.Seeing such a big living person in his house, Al was not used to it, but Al also found it interesting. He saw Caesar wandering around his room very curiously, rummaging through his things recklessly, Al did not stop, gentle indulge him.

However, Caesar just looked around curiously, and he lost interest after a while, so Caesar returned to Al, and he saw Al sitting on the sofa in his room, so he leaned over and sat on it. He walked over to Al's side, and stretched out his hand to circle Al.

Al didn't resist, and stretched out his hand to touch Caesar's hair and his cheek. Seeing Caesar looking at him with burning eyes, Al raised his lips and smiled at him... Then, suddenly, Al came closer , and kissed Caesar on the lips.

Al's action obviously made Caesar stunned for a moment, and Caesar immediately became excited after he was stunned. He was so happy that his tail was about to stick up. He immediately threw Al down hard and hugged him tightly. in my arms.

"You like me very much." Al stared into Caesar's eyes, and he could vaguely feel Caesar's emotions.

This is very strange, Al can't describe the feeling, but he just felt it, and he didn't feel surprised, but accepted it all.

This is the first time for Al.For a long time, Al has been surrounded by hypocritical people who play their respective roles. No one is sincere to him, and he dare not be sincere to others easily. Except for the accident of Lyle, this is the first time that Al For the first time, he discovered that someone truly and unreservedly liked him.

The person who likes him is the puppet Caesar in front of him.

Being liked by others is a very pleasant thing, and Al is indeed happy. When he vaguely felt Caesar's attention to him, he felt that making a lifelong contract with this puppet seemed to be the same. It's okay, at least in his bad life, he's got something he'll never lose.

This even made Al feel that as long as this puppet stood by his side, he would have the courage to resist fate, the courage to resist the life his mother had arranged for him.

Yes, because Al knew that this person would not leave him, from the moment he made a contract with him.

"Can I survive?" Al stretched out his hand to hold Caesar's cheek, and moved closer to his face, and they seemed very close.Then Al spoke softly to Caesar, and he confided in him, and Al asked, "Would I have a future too?"

Yes, there must be.

Caesar wagged his tail and wanted to answer him like this, but just as Caesar was trying to open his mouth, there was a knock on the door of Al's room. After a moment, Elton retracted his paws holding Caesar's face, and got off the sofa. Running to open the door, he wondered who was looking for him now, but when he opened the door, Al's face suddenly darkened.

Standing outside was Anthony, squinting his eyes and looking at Al with a malicious expression on his face.

Seeing that Al opened the door, Anthony immediately said in a bad tone: "Your mother has contacted me, follow me to the communication room."

Anthony is a teacher at the Puppeteer Academy and still has certain authority, so Al will not blatantly resist him.It’s just that Al didn’t expect to come so quickly. Al couldn’t help clenching his fists. He first glanced at Anthony, and then looked back at Caesar who was still squatting in the room. When Caesar saw Al looking at him, he immediately He quickly jumped off the sofa and followed behind Al.

Anthony didn't mind that Al took the puppet with him. After looking at Al, he turned around and led Al to the communication room. After Anthony took Al to the communication room, on the virtual screen in the communication room, Al saw the graceful and luxurious face of his mother Shelia.

"Mom." Al called her honestly.

But Xie Liya didn't respond to Al, she first looked at Al coldly for a long time.After a long while, Xie Liya glanced at Anthony who was watching from the side. Anthony immediately understood what she meant, turned around and left, leaving Al and Caesar in the communication room, talking to Xie Liya through the screen.

"You have a puppet?" Shelia first noticed Caesar behind Al.

Al replied honestly: "Yes, I signed a junior contract with him."

This news seemed to satisfy Xie Liya a little bit, and the frost-covered face seemed to warm up a little, making her face seem a little bit more amiable. She praised Al without hesitation: "Very well, you finally did something satisfactory."

Before Al could say anything, Shelia continued: "I heard Anthony say that you sabotaged his plan and left the academy to save that Lyle Hawke. Is this true?"

Al opened his mouth, thinking of his younger brother, he seemed to hesitate for a while, but finally Al admitted, he said: "Yes."

Shelia didn't fly into a rage, she squinted her eyes, as if examining Al, and said, "Do you know what you're doing?"

Al replied, "I know, Mother."

"I also hope you know." Xie Liya said slowly on the other side of the screen, "But it is obvious that your behavior means that you have no self-knowledge at all, Al, you think I have come to this day, and all the residents I have worked so hard to set up, For whom?"

Al didn't answer.

His non-answer seemed to have angered Shelia, Shelia's tone suddenly raised a tone, and she snapped at Al: "Answer me!"

"It's for me." Al clenched his fists, helpless.

"Yes! For you!" Xie Liya's tone was sharp, "Then why do you dare to do this!? How can you defy me!?"
