Puppeteer [Interstellar]

After Lyle heard Halleck mention his brother with his special perception, Lyle and Scar secretly followed Halleck's ass, trying to use Halleck to lead him to Al's location.

But Lyle didn't know that Halleck also deliberately led him here. He said Al's name several times in the empty aisle, and he knew that Lyle's puppet would definitely be able to hear his voice. As long as Lyle's goal is Al, then Lyle's puppet will definitely tell him the news, so that Lyle will take the initiative to follow Halleck.

Of course, if Lyle didn't keep up, Halleck would use other means to lure Lyle over, but the several plans he had prepared didn't come in handy. Lyle over there was already very obedient and followed smoothly. He's behind.

Halleck's black-clothed puppet seemed to be elusive, and it sprang out from some dark corner, and quickly informed Halleck of the news that Lyle had followed. Gauge, he kept his head down and continued wiring with Al on his personal terminal.

If you want to assassinate Lyle in such a chaotic scene, the first thing to do is to lure Scar away from Lyle.The puppets of the puppet master are all very difficult to deal with. No matter whether these puppets have been trained or not, they are born excellent fighters. Angrying these puppets will undoubtedly ignite a super bomb, a crazy puppets Most of the base can definitely be leveled.

It is really troublesome to deal with the manic puppet. Since Halleck doesn't want to bother, he can only spend more time.

Since Al provided some important information and intelligence, Halleck decided to formulate a perfect murder plan based on this information.

Al said that Lyle definitely cared about him very much, as long as Al was in danger, then Lyle would definitely go to save him without hesitation.That being the case, Halleck wanted to prescribe the right medicine and let Al stage a fake show that he was in crisis. Lyle would definitely help him when he saw Al in distress. His golem stepped forward, so Halleck could send his golem over to kill Lyle while Lyall's golem, Ska, was fighting a bunch of bugs.

This plan seems simple and clear to say, but it is hard to explain in practice.The first is the part where Al is in crisis. The original plan was that Al was surrounded by a group of Zerg, and he and his golem fought alone. When Lyle saw it, 100% would instantly let his golem rush over to them fight together.

It's just that the Zerg is a dangerous creature, and it's not easy to control. Being besieged by bugs, whether it is active or passive, is too dangerous. He shot himself in the foot with a stone.

Therefore, Al and Halleck resolutely decided to modify the part of the crisis after discussing it. There are too many dangers that can be encountered in this chaotic base, and it does not necessarily have to be reflected in the way of being besieged by Zerg.

When they settled on the most troublesome part of the plan, the plan began to be implemented. Everything was as Halleck imagined. He caught Lyle's attention and led Lyall to the pre-planned purpose. Land - Base docking port.

Yes, it is the place with the skylight, which attracted countless Zergs to invade after it was opened. It stands to reason that it should be the most dangerous place in the entire base now, because there may be bugs running around all over the ground, but in AI In the plan of Bill and Halleck, they still chose there.

The reason why they chose this place as the stage for their performance is because there are several absolutely safe places in this docking port.

Although the location of the docking port is inside the base, it can be regarded as an independent space. Because this place is used to park and accommodate various spaceships, there is a skylight that allows spaceships to come in, but the skylight is open. If it is, it means that the outside air will also be poured in along with the skylight.

The air outside the distant star is freezing cold, and it is extremely harmful to the human body, which means that the air in the distant star can poison people to death.If human beings want to walk freely in such a harsh environment, they must wear protective clothing, helmets, and oxygen cylinders as they did when Lyle went out with Major Gary and others for polar survival training.

The planet's air is extremely poisonous, which means that the docking port that accepts various alien spacecraft must also be a fully enclosed environment, especially after the skylight is closed, this huge empty space will be completely sealed. Let any wisp of noxious fumes outside permeate easily.After the entire docking port is closed, the air purification device at the base will take effect, purifying the air in the docking port, so that humans don’t have to wear heavy protective clothing and carry oxygen cylinders. They only need to wear casual clothes. Activities in the docking port are free.

But as I said before, those bugs have already invaded, and they still pried open the skylight to crawl in.The skylight is destroyed, and the "sealing" of the port of anchorage is also destroyed. The air purification will not have any effect, and the toxic gas outside will gradually fill the entire port of anchorage along the damaged skylight, and the place of the port of anchorage will also be destroyed. become unsuitable for human activities.

Under such extreme conditions, the docking port also has a special design. There are several fully enclosed small rooms at the four corners of the docking port. The kind of rescue room built with very strong materials can resist gunshots, shells and even various A siege of bugs.This kind of rescue room is designed for those who have no time to escape when the port of anchorage encounters a crisis. It contains some basic life-saving materials and equipment for calling for help.

Because the rescue room is so strong, Halleck said that Al could hide in it, while a bunch of snarling bugs scurry around outside, which naturally creates a feeling of "he seems to be trapped." inside" illusion.

Then Halleck can use the reason of "I'm going to rescue him" to run to the port where the ship is anchored, and at the same time follow the little tail of Lyle.

Lyle was completely unaware of this, and followed Halleck all the way, and then the corpses of the Zerg lay on the road along the way.Halleck and his puppet killed an unknown number of Zergs on this road, and the bugs that came in were everywhere on this road making trouble, but there are many qualified puppet masters and their puppet in the academy No matter how bad they are, they can kill one or two bugs. Therefore, this riot actually did not cause too many major casualties. It's just that the ordinary soldiers suffered countless casualties.

Halleck and his puppets are very good at killing insects. His puppets seem to be fighting like an assassin. They are dressed in black and have strong skills. They usually don't know where to hide. No one can. Perceived the existence of this puppet, but as long as it is a critical moment, he will come out from various unexpected places anytime and anywhere.

With the special fighting method of the puppet, Halleck directly uses himself as a bait to seduce the bugs who want to eat him. When the bugs' attention is completely on Halleck, his magic I will appear and kill these bugs with one blow.

Halleck and his puppet killed them all the way, the road was dripping with the black blood of the bugs, and Lyle followed behind, feeling a little uneasy in his heart after being shocked, because Halleck met on the way There were more and more bugs, and Lyle couldn't help thinking, is the place he followed Halleck really the place where his brother was?

It’s not like I didn’t meet other people along the way, but they were all fleeing backwards. Only Halleck jumped up like a fish facing difficulties in the upstream, leading Lyle to follow along. .

Finally, Halleck finally "led" Lyle to their final destination, and the gate of the port of anchorage was not far ahead.

Lyle was not too far behind, following unhurriedly, if he got too close, he was afraid that he would be discovered by Halleck, of course he didn't know that Halleck had already found out.

Halleck thought that Lyle was able to follow his footsteps because of Scar, but it was not at all. Lyle did not give Scar any relevant orders at all. He relied entirely on his special but excellent spiritual sensory ability, To lock Halleck's position.

The scanning range of the spiritual sense is very large. In fact, Lyle can be farther away, so far that even Halleck's puppet will not notice that Lyle is following them, but Lyle is afraid that he is too far away. Once something happened, but I didn't have time to rush over, that would be very troublesome.

Arriving at the gate of the docking port, it is naturally impossible for Halleck to go through the gate directly, because the docking port has been completely closed at this time.Although the bugs in the docking port can still find various breakthroughs to drill into the interior of the base, such as climbing ventilation pipes, breaking in, smashing holes in walls and so on.

The base has mobilized a lot of manpower, desperately trying to completely seal off the docking port, and seal all the gaps and channels where the bugs can come in, but there are still bugs that drill holes and crawl from nowhere. Come in, and ever since, the area near the docking port is a mess, and the flames of war are raging. Many puppet masters and their golems are standing here, and there are many soldiers and staff running around.

Because Halleck is a fourth-year student, he seems to have very high authority, so no one stopped his actions. He passed through various crowds, went to the nearby maintenance room, and got two sets of travel kits. protective clothing and oxygen cylinders.

Lyle, who was following behind, also successfully avoided the security personnel he would encounter along the way through his extremely keen spiritual senses, and followed Halleck to the maintenance room.

Halleck pretended that he hadn't noticed Lyle's trail at all, so he didn't close the door of the maintenance room completely, but left a gap, allowing Lyle to squat outside the door and peep at him through the crack. There was no one else except Halleck and his puppet. Halleck took the equipment and put it on himself. After putting it on, he realized after a while: "By the way, there is no need to prepare protective clothing for the puppet. .”

After he said this, he didn't equip his puppet with protective clothing, picked up his things and left.

Indeed, the protective clothing has no effect on the golem, and sometimes it will hinder the golem's battle. The golem is not afraid of the cold and poisonous air outside. They only need to worm their internal organs a little, and they can Survive in any horrible and cruel environment like a bug.

But Halleck seemed to be doing it on purpose. He took two sets of protective clothing, but at the moment he deliberately pretended that he had forgotten it, so he prepared one more for the golem, but thinking that the golem didn't need it, he left that piece of equipment In the maintenance room, he walked out of the maintenance room with his puppet.
