Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Rain's landing on the distant star base may have happened to follow Halleck's wishes, but Halleck has no time to take care of these things now, and now he has to follow Al's advice and lead Lyle to Al's side.

In Halleck and Shelia's plan, Al is also the most important link.

Yes, Halleck teamed up with Al, his mother Shelia.Shelia said, no matter what you want to do or what you need, just help me kill Lyle.At the same time, Halleck also said that as long as the most important heir of Rain can be killed, it will be fine.So the two hit it off instantly, and Shelia agreed to create conditions for Halleck, and the creation of these conditions was done by Al.

Halleck is not clear about the relationship between Al and Lyle. In his opinion, Al and Lyle are actually fighting to the death with each other in order to seize power, as described and rumored by some people. A pair of "bright" brothers, Halleck is ashamed of these guys who only fight for power, although he knows that he is no better.

But to Halleck's surprise, Al told him that as long as the whole academy was in crisis, Lyle would take the initiative to come to him, because in Lyle's mind, Al was his most important brother, and he would not Put Al in any danger.

Al's statement made Halleck unavoidably puzzled. A pair of brothers who were supposed to be incompatible with each other in the eyes of outsiders, but their real appearance was quite different from what others imagined, which shocked others.

"So you're using him?" Halleck communicated with Al through a special route. In the communication, Halleck asked Al, "Pretending to be good brothers with him, defrauding his trust and attention, at his last Give him a knife when you are caught off guard, and get rid of him logically, right?"

"No, no." Al replied to Halleck, "Of course Lyle is my most important person. I never thought of killing him...I want to protect him, protect him from others, Protect him from my own hands."

Halleck felt that Al spoke incoherently, giving people a feeling of confusion and disorder.However, his tone of voice was quite normal, and no one could hear the confusion and disorganization in his words.

Halleck and Al failed to speak a few words, and then Al quickly cut off the communication unilaterally.At that time, Al was still in the psychiatric consultation room. He made this good plan with Halleck through the gap of psychiatric care. When Halleck came and took Lance's access card, Al followed Lance Si went to put that bondage chain on the golem.

But how could Al put such a thing on his Caesar, after all, he still needs to use Caesar's combat power in the next action.

Al didn't make a final contract with Caesar, but what's interesting is that he also had the same situation as Lyle and Scar at the beginning. He could directly order his Caesar mentally, so that even if Caesar didn't listen to him, Speak the command and act according to his wishes.

This point is well used. In fact, it is easy to give people a feeling that the puppet is in a frenzy. After all, the puppet master next to him did not move at all, and the puppet started fighting or attacking on its own, so others naturally thought Caesar went mad.

When Lance took Al and the puppet to the puppet reserved area for controlling the puppet, there was a cage for holding the puppet in that place, and naturally there was also a restraint chain for controlling the puppet. Put it on the puppet, otherwise the puppet will realize the danger and take the initiative to avoid or escape, but if the master inflicts damage, the puppet will bear it without saying a word.

Lance wanted to supervise Al, so he gave Al the chain and asked Al to put it on his golem, but Al held the chain and stared at Caesar for a long time, but he didn't respond at all.

Here Lance became a little impatient, and said, "Hurry up, it's already late, one or two in the morning! I really don't have time to continue hanging out with you here."

Al still didn't respond at all. He raised his head and stared at his puppet in a daze. Caesar also stared at him in a daze. One person and one puppet just looked at each other like this.In such stares, Caesar suddenly couldn't help taking a step closer to Al. Caesar knew that Al's mental state was not stable now, and even if he just finished the mental care, it didn't seem to have any effect. Effect.

This is natural. Al has lived in the spiritual suggestion given to him by her mother Shelia since he was a child. This suggestion has lasted for more than ten years, and there is almost no way to eliminate it. Since he had a self-consciousness when he was young, he She was controlled by Xie Liya in the palm of her hand in this way. Xie Liya said east, but he never went west. Whatever Xie Liya asked him to do, he would definitely do it.

Anything, any order, absolutely gets done.

He knew that he was a puppet, but he was actually the same as the Caesar in front of him. There was no difference between them, they were all trapped in a cage of despair.

There is no future and there will never be a future.

Caesar suddenly took a step closer to Al. The puppet moved without any order from its owner. He stretched out his hand in vain to hug Al, and hugged him tightly in his arms. He felt Al's near despair, Caesar felt a little scared, he didn't want Al to be unhappy, he hoped that Al would always be happy, but now Al is unhappy, so what should be done to make Al Are you as happy as before?

Caesar wanted to appease Al, so he hugged Al, but his action caught the attention of Lance next to him. Lance had been waiting for a long time, and Al still refused to act to trap his puppet. , Just when Lance opened his mouth and tried to urge Al, the two hugged together inexplicably.

Lance frowned at the time and shouted, "Al! What are you doing?"

Al was finally brought back to his senses by Lance's words. Al, who came back to his senses, gently pushed Caesar's hug away, turned to Lance, and said to him, "I'm sorry, mentor...I don't know about this bondage chain. How to use it, it would be great if you could demonstrate it for me."

This kind of bondage chain dedicated to golems is indeed very complicated, with many spiked barbs on it, all of which must be inserted into the correct position on the golem, otherwise it is easy to break free with the strength of the golem, even if they will Struggling themselves until blood drips, but they still try to break free.

"Isn't it taught in the courses you have studied? The second grade should have taught you how to use the bondage chain to restrain the golem!" Lance frowned tightly, becoming more impatient, but he is also a serious and responsible person , even though he was impatient in his heart, on the surface he still held his temper and said to Al: "This chain must be put on by yourself, and I have no way to show you."

Al paused after hearing this, as if thinking of something, he looked at the puppet Arthur beside Lance.

"Teacher, you can use your puppet to demonstrate it, so I can follow along." Al suddenly laughed, as gentle as ever, but his smile coupled with those words made Lance inexplicable There is a feeling of horror and weirdness.

After much deliberation, Lance decided that it would be better to complete the task as soon as possible. Although I'm sorry for Arthur beside him, it's not like Arthur hasn't used this kind of thing before.

So Lance agreed to Al's proposal, and Lance said, "Okay, I can show you a demo, and you follow my steps."

Then Lance took out a new bondage chain and called his puppet Arthur over to stand with Caesar.

When Lance asked Al, he said, "Are you ready? Golems won't resist your injuries, but you may feel a little bit unbearable, but it's not necessary. They won't cry and suffer because of injuries."

"I'm ready." Al took the bondage chain in his hand and stood in front of Caesar.

Lance turned his head back and set his eyes on Arthur, his puppet. When he looked at Arthur, Arthur was also looking at him.

Lance has never liked him much since he got the puppet. Although he did not hurt the puppet as extreme as some people, after all, keeping the puppet in good condition will help provide the puppet's combat power .

But at a certain moment, Lance still hated his puppet very much. Even if he could command and control this puppet for the rest of his life, the other party would never betray him, but Lance still felt that he seemed to be trapped by this puppet. The golem robbed him of the normal life he should have had.

He should have made a lifelong promise with a girl he likes and grow old together like many ordinary people, but why is he now with such a monster, and he has to be with him for the rest of his life.

Why am I a puppeteer?

Lance held the bondage chain and was silent for a while. He couldn't remember the last time he put this thing on his puppet. It seemed a long time ago, when he was an ordinary student in this academy. When he first met Arthur, he was actually delighted.

Lance didn't really want to recall his past. He tried to bring his thoughts back to reality. He held the chain and said to Al next to him: "Follow me, the hands first..."

After finishing speaking, Lance ordered Arthur to raise his hands, and Arthur raised his hands obediently. At this moment, Lance was about to put a chain on his hands, but Al, who was next to him, suddenly interrupted Lance. For his actions, Al said: "You should apologize to him."

This sentence made Lance puzzled, and Lance said, "What?"

Al just repeated: "You should apologize to your puppet."

Lance laughed, "Why?"

Al said with a serious face: "Because you are going to hurt him, so you have to apologize in advance, so that he is mentally prepared."

Al's statement is quite ridiculous. No one would ever try to apologize to a puppet, but Lance was stunned when he heard what he said. It seemed that Lance agreed with some feelings and sympathy. According to Al, Lance said: "You are right, I should really apologize...I'm sorry, Arthur."

The second half of Lance's sentence was addressed to Arthur. Standing in front of him, Arthur stared at Lance intently. There seemed to be a flash of tenderness in his bright red pupils.
