Puppeteer [Interstellar]

In the history of the Puppeteer Academy, of course, there were senior students who lost their puppets.

Just like a puppet can only have one master for life, a puppet master can only have this puppet for life, because each puppet is tailor-made for the puppet master, which consumes an extremely huge amount of money. are also unique, so it is no longer possible for each puppeteer to get a second golem.

Once lost, you can never have it again.

For the puppeteer, losing the puppet means losing the identity of the puppet master, and even more seriously, the puppeteer who lost the puppet will be secretly dealt with by the alliance, because they have been "abandoned", they stay in the academy It is useless here, but in order to prevent information related to puppets and puppet masters from being leaked to the outside world, the alliance will never let these "useless people" go home. Disposal" dropped.

It is said that it is disposal, but everyone knows that it is tantamount to death.

Especially for a person with the identity of Al, he is the son of Rain, the son whom Rain placed great expectations on. If he loses the puppet, then with Rain's usual character, killing him is the next step. Normal behavior.

Halleck was clearly aware of this, but he still did such a thing. Obviously, Halleck didn't want to let any of the brothers out of Rayne go. He wanted to kill Lyle, and he also wanted to abolish After Al, from the very beginning, Halleck had no intention of doing exactly what Shelia asked.

Lyle couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose a puppet, just like he couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose Scar. If he really lost Scar, Lyle felt that he would definitely not be able to bear it. In the first place, he collapsed, committed suicide, and even did all kinds of terrible things that he couldn't even imagine.

So Lyle couldn't imagine the pain that Al was experiencing now.

Al looked very normal in front of him, Al was very calm, he sat beside Lyle, stretched out his hand to hold his brother's paw, he was even smiling, as always with a gentle smile, his smile made Lyle look dazzling.

Lyle felt scared when he imagined Al's situation now, when he realized that no one could protect Al except himself.

Lyle said to his brother: "Brother, no matter how much it costs, I will protect you."

Lyle was so serious when he said this, he really never thought about anything else, he just wanted to protect Al, his brother, the most precious and valued person in his life, the only one in his life who was willing to be lit by him The light of the flames was so moving that sometimes Lyle seemed like a moth to the flames, so he just flew up towards the pile of flames of Al in a foolish way.

Lyle never seemed to regret the possibility of being burnt to pieces.

But what Lyle never expected was that Al regretted it.

When Lyle said that he wanted to protect him, Al sat beside him in silence for a long time. After a long time, Al suddenly said: "Lyle, don't protect me anymore."

This sentence made Lyle stunned, and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Al, only I can protect you now."

"So I don't need you to protect me." Al insisted, insisting, "I don't need your protection, Lyle, you can give up on me."

"Give up... you?" Lyle seemed in disbelief.

Al was extremely serious, even though his eyes couldn't see anything, his empty eyes still showed seriousness, he said: "You have to give up on me, I'm just your drag now, if you continue to think so anxiously Saving me will only ruin your own life with me, so why don't you give up on me—"

"Al!" Lyle interrupted Al in a hurry before he could finish speaking. He grabbed his brother's hand tightly, with a questioning tone, "You are not asking me to give up on you, but Are you... going to give up on yourself?"

Al was dumbfounded. He was silent for a long time before continuing to speak: "I have no meaning to live, Lyle."

"What do you mean there is no meaning to live!?" Lyle suddenly became angry, and he became angry, so he roared, but the roar made the unhealed wound on his chest ache, so he suppressed it and said, " What about your wishes? What about the future you dreamed of? What about the promise you made to me? Do you want to give up all of these? Al!"

"We all know that." Al replied calmly, "I have no future."

"You have it." Lyle persistently grabbed his brother's hand and repeated persistently: "You have it."

"I don't." Al lowered his head, his tone was very hoarse, "I have no future, from the moment Caesar left me."

"But you still have me!" Lyle almost yelled again, but his wound was still suffocating, and he had to restrain his impulse, "Are you going to abandon me? Leave me alone? A If people leave, just leave me here and let me face Rein alone? You can't be so selfish, brother."

"You should treat this matter rationally, Lyle." Al tried to use the most rational way to analyze the situation they are facing to Lyle, and Al said, "Haleck will not let it go, he will definitely do it again. Launch an attack, when he attacks me, do you still have to sacrifice your life to save me like before? That will only make you die meaninglessly, it's not worth it... That's why I said, don't come to save me again I."

Lyle grabbed his brother's paw and refused to let go. He said, "I still have Scar."

"If you let Scar come to save me, it's no different from your death." Al reached out and patted Lyle's hand, and he smiled, "Abandoning me is the best choice, Lyle, if you want On the road of the strong, giving up is the first thing you have to learn."

Lyle trembled, he looked at Al, he tried to imprint Al's appearance in his eyes, this young man with black hair and shallow pupils, his eye circles were red, he shouted tremblingly: "I don't want What kind of strong man, I want you... I want my brother."

Al smiled bitterly: "Don't act like a child."

"I don't want it!" Lyle really yelled like a child, he struggled to get up from the hospital bed, and stretched out his arms to hug Al.

"I don't want, I don't want, I don't want anything... I want my brother." Lyle buried his face in Al's neck, almost crying, "You said you would come back no matter what happened, come back Come by my side, you can't break your word, Al! You can't lie to me!"

Al hugged Lyle tightly, reached out and touched the head of his younger brother in his arms, feeling that Lyle depended on him, Al's mood was a little deep and complicated.

Lyle relies on him, and Al is actually very happy. There will be a feeling that he has been recognized, which will make him feel happier. At least he is trusted and believed by others. At least there are real right people in this world. There are people who give his heart.

He exists at this moment, beside Al, and Al feels extremely honored, nothing could be better.

But Al is not sure, is it another honor for Lyle to exist beside him?

Lyle is so dependent on Al, and almost pours all his feelings on this brother. Al can feel it, but he also feels anxiety.The more Lyle relies on him, the more Al will become Lyle's weakness and crux. As long as Al is still standing here, Lyle will desperately want to protect him, and will never care about his own safety .

So Al has no doubt that one day, Lyle will die for him.

Al once swore that he would protect his younger brother, not let anyone hurt Lyle, and not let anyone extinguish the incomparably wonderful fire in his heart. All those who tried to hurt Lyle, Al would destroy by any means He, even if the person who hurt his brother... might be Al himself.

"I'm actually your hindrance, Lyle. My existence prevents you from ever learning to grow." Al suddenly said softly, his tone was so light that Lyle couldn't understand him. Meaning, Lyle just instinctively refuted him and said:

"Nonsense! Al is not an obstacle!"

Al laughed, stopped trying to persuade Lyle, and reached out to touch his younger brother's head, saying, "I promise you."

Lairton raised his head and looked at his brother with shining eyes: "Promise me what!?"

"I promise you, I'll come back to you." Al seemed to be planning to compromise, he smiled with his eyes bent, and his brows were full of unresolved tenderness.

"You said it! Don't go back on your word!" Lyle played up his childish temper and said confidently, "Let me protect you! Just stay by my side and you can't go anywhere!"

"Okay, I promise you everything, I'm not going anywhere." Al continued to laugh.

Lyle looked carefully at Al's dull eyes. Although Al temporarily lost his light, the pupils of his eyes were still transparent like crystal glass, which was really beautiful. Lyle was so happy that he threw himself on Al again. Hugging his brother, rubbing his face against Al's, Al couldn't stop laughing at his childish behavior, and finally stretched out his hand to pull Lyle off of him, and eight Lyle, who is like a clawed fish, is still very reluctant to part.

"Brother! Promise me one more thing!" Lyle still seemed worried. He always felt that his brother promised too quickly, but he seemed casual instead, and couldn't help asking Al repeatedly for confirmation.

Al pampered him: "What is it?"

"You have to live well no matter what, okay?" Lyle looked at him seriously.

Al blinked and smiled, "Okay."

"Your attitude is too casual, you have to answer me seriously!" Lyle expressed dissatisfaction.

Al said seriously: "I will live, no matter what."

Lyle was still full of doubts, and he was worried about this and that, but after hearing Al's assurance, Lyle finally felt a little more at ease, at least his brother never lied to him, as long as he promised Lyle's things , Al will always do it and never break his promise.
