Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Since the situation was urgent, Lyle didn't do it. He thought, if this bug successfully invaded the dormitory area, then all the students in their dormitory area would suffer.Therefore, Lyle and Scar looked at each other, put on their clothes and walked out of his room. Lyle didn't even need Scar's guidance, he could sneak directly towards the Zerg with no expression on his face. direction to walk over.

There was no one in the corridor of the dormitory area, all the students listened to the announcement, huddled in their rooms and waited.

But today, a student named Jonah Brod was unlucky. Jonah is a third-year student of the Puppeteer Academy. He also has a puppet by his side, but the final contract has not yet been made with him. The kind of puppet.Jonah has been guarding his own room waiting for the news, but in the process, a very terrible thing happened.

Something was knocking on the door of his room.

Yes, Jonah got up to take a shower and get dressed after hearing the sirens and announcements in the academy base. While he was getting dressed, something hit the door of his room and made a loud noise. Jonah, who was putting the shirt on himself, trembled in fright, and immediately turned his head to look at the door of the room.

At the same time, Jonah's puppet standing motionless in the corner suddenly moved. The puppet stood up from the corner and walked straight in front of Jonah.

Jonah was a little confused, and raised his head to look at his puppet. The puppet was a tall brown-haired man. Since his puppet signed a preliminary temporary contract with him, except for following and protecting, it basically No other actions have been taken.At this stage, the puppet didn't speak, act, or do anything, and just followed Jonah's back.

Jonah was still a student with a good psychological quality, and he didn't abuse his puppet like some extreme students, but although he didn't abuse the puppet, he didn't bother to pay attention to the puppet.

After all, the puppet has no mind. No matter what Jonah says to the puppet, the puppet will not answer him. Before signing a formal contract with the puppet, the puppet will not respond to any order of the puppeteer.

Over time, when Jonah lost the initial sense of freshness, he became a little impatient with this puppet that was stuck motionless like a log. After all, it is really annoying to follow you wherever you go. Fortunately, Yes, Jonah's puppet is still a little self-conscious. When the two of them are alone in the same room, the puppet will consciously go to the corner and stay still.

This is the first time that this puppet has acted that surprised Jonah. When he walked in front of Jonah, Jonah suddenly felt that this puppet that made him look unpleasant no matter what, suddenly It became taller, and the back of the puppet stood in front of Jonah like a hill, which felt daunting.

The puppet stood in front of Jonah and faced the only door in the room. The door was slightly deformed after being hit by an unknown creature outside... This is really amazing!You should know that even in the dormitory area of ​​the students, the door of each dormitory room is made of metal, and the door is made of hard materials so that it is very strong, and there is a security system. When students enter and exit their rooms, they must Swipe the door card.

Such a strong room door began to deform after just a moderate impact from the creature outside. One can imagine how powerful the impact of the creature outside was!

Thinking of this, Jonah became terrified, so he instinctively looked for support. The puppet standing in front of him was the only thing Jonah could rely on, so Jonah subconsciously reached out and grabbed the puppet's claws, holding the puppet in his arms. The puppet's arm was shrunk behind the puppet's back.

Jonah's action made his puppet tremble without a trace. He turned his head slightly and glanced at the master behind him. Jonah didn't notice that his puppet was looking at him. All Jonah's attention was focused on On the deformed door over there.

The thing that hit the door outside seemed to make some strange noises. It was a howling sound... yes, it was the sound of the unknown creature howling in a low and hoarse voice. This made Jonah even more frightened, and he immediately thought of the base just now. According to the contents of the broadcast, Jonah quickly realized that Zerg had invaded their base, so now, the only things that can hit the door of his room outside are those terrible bugs.

Jonah is young and has a soft personality, but he is an excellent puppeteer. Because of his relatively high mental strength, he can learn everything very quickly, and his physical fitness is still good, so he can endure many physical training courses .Jonah also simulated the scene of fighting against the Zerg in the holographic simulation battle course, but the virtual battle is a virtual thing after all, it is just a combination of a bunch of data, and it can be easily dealt with after figuring out the routines of the program.

However, in reality, when you come face to face with real monsters, the things learned through virtual data are almost useless, and they are completely unable to help Jonah at the moment of life and death.

The bugs outside began to hit his room door again, with a rhythmic "thump, thud, thump". The door of Jonah's room was soon knocked even more twisted and hideous, and the puppet blocking Jonah pulled Jonah Stepping back, the puppet stretched out its right hand while backing away, and began to try to worm its claws for the first time.

The monster is outside, and the puppet in front of Jonah can clearly sense it. This crumbling door can't resist for a long time, and soon the monster will break through the door, and it will come straight towards Jonah and the puppet. The puppet was already prepared, he was going to block that fatal blow with his wormed claws.

However, this is the initial battle of golems. He has not yet been trained on golems, so he may be slightly inferior in combat ability, but every golem has the instinct to fight. Their predecessors are research institutes. Various selected soldiers or armed personnel, the benefits of choosing such people to make puppets are reflected here. Even if they have no previous memory consciousness, their bodies still have the instinct left over from combat training .

Instinctively, Jonah’s puppet could understand the battle. He tried to protect the master behind him. As the bugs hit the door harder and harder, Jonah behind him became more and more frightened. Jonah held on tightly. Grabbing the puppet's clothes, his body trembled uncontrollably.

The puppet wanted to appease him, probably because of a strange accident at this moment.

Calculating that it would take some time for the bugs to hit the door, the puppet simply turned around and reached out to hug Jonah tightly. Jonah was suddenly embraced by his own puppet, as if After being gently kissed by the puppet on the cheek, Jonah's cheeks turned red immediately, and the tension and fear just now were swept away.

After appeasing the master, the puppet released Jonah and continued to turn around, but the moment he let go of Jonah, Jonah felt a little bit reluctant, but at this critical moment, Jonah I can't be willful, so I had to suppress the reluctance in my heart and calm down.

At about this time, the bug outside that was banging on the door in a hurry finally knocked open the door, and the metal door fell to the ground with a bang. At this time, the puppet, who had been preparing for a long time, decided to strike first, before the bugs outside came in. , he rushed over, found the exact position of the bug in the dust, and scratched it with one paw.

Who knows that the worm is not stupid, it seems to have a premonition that the puppet is preemptive, facing the puppet's claws, it chooses to turn around and directly send the puppet flying with its tail.

The puppet changed its attacking posture to defensive at that moment, but he was pulled back by the worm's tail, and soon he jumped back to the ground with the reaction force of the wall, and continued to guard in front of Jonah.

The overflowing dust gradually settled, and under the dim light, the true face of the worm was also revealed in front of Jonah and his puppet. Declare that a bitter battle is inevitable.

The puppet has completely wormed its hands, and it seems to be standing in front of Jonah very securely, but the place on his body where the worms have been drawn is aching, because only the hands of the puppet's whole body are wormed. The armor and other parts are still fragile human tissues. The blow of the bug just now could completely break all the bones in his whole body, if he didn't block that blow in time.

The puppet, who was fighting the Zerg for the first time, felt a little bit of crisis, and realized that this bug was not easy to deal with.So he began to think about some strategies, looking for ways to defeat the bugs, but in just a few seconds, something even more unexpected happened.

Just when the puppet was getting ready to meet the bug's next attack, a person appeared from behind the bug, a shadow in black clothes. As soon as this person appeared, he quickly attacked from behind. He missed the Zerg... He actually jumped directly on the back of the Zerg, and reached out and grabbed the wings of the Zerg, pulling them out forcefully.

Seeing this scene, Jonah's puppet also reacted quickly, realizing that someone was helping him, so he rushed towards the Zerg without stopping.The worm just felt a sudden weight on its back, and a person jumped on its back and grabbed its wings. It didn't react, it was hurt by the pain, and it howled all over. It just wanted to give the person on its back to the ground. When it was thrown out, Jonah's puppet had already rushed in front of it, and with a wave of its paw, a crack appeared on its forehead.

The bug hurt even more, and the black blood flew and splashed, but this time it didn't scream, but started to twist its body crazily. The two puppets in front of them quickly flung them away. It seemed to be smart enough to realize that something was wrong, so after throwing the two of them away, the bug turned around and ran towards the other side of the corridor.
