Puppeteer [Interstellar]

"I hope you are a little more sensible." Rein spoke in a low voice while sitting on a chair. He crossed his legs leisurely while looking down at the pirate leader lying on the ground.

The pirate leader was already covered in blood. Several of his fingers were broken, one of his eyes was gouged out, and there were countless scars all over his body. All these pains made him unable to move, so he could only lie on the ground. Trembling and panting.

"Do you know how far modern medical technology has developed?" Rein held a short knife with a very sharp blade in his hand. It was like dancing in his hands, but it didn't hurt him at all.

Rain continued to grin at the pirate leader: "I can cut you into a stick, and at the same time, I can guarantee your survival."

"I guess you are not willing to try that kind of pain, so why bother to be brave?" Rein lowered his voice, appearing very gentle, "Which one do you choose, a happy death or a painful life?"

The pirate leader's lips were trembling. He opened his mouth and forced himself to make a little sound: "I... I really don't know..."

Lei Yin frowned slightly, flipped the blade in his hand, and stabbed the pirate leader's arm fiercely, causing the pirate leader to scream in pain.

"I really! I really don't know!" The pirate leader screamed sharply and horribly, "Someone paid me! Someone paid me to go to the research base to steal a puppet! The news is all from them Yes! I really don’t know!!”

"So, who is the person who provided the news?" Rein bent down and pulled out the blade from the pirate leader's arm. The pirate leader trembled all over and replied tremblingly, "Anonymous... He used the Internet to anonymously send messages to me. , paid me a deposit in advance, because there is a lot of money... I took the risk... I really don't know who it is, even if you tortured me to death, I can't tell!"

The pirate leader's words made Rein squint his eyes and lean back on the back of the chair comfortably. After thinking for a while, he called out to his subordinates who were on duty outside the interrogation room, and then his subordinates came in. Rein He said to the subordinate: "Call me my adjutant."

The subordinate replied respectfully: "Yes", and then quickly retreated to find the adjutant.

Here, Rein took out some tissues from his pocket, and wiped his blood-stained dagger very seriously, but when he was wiping the dagger, his personal terminal rang, and someone contacted him.

Rein paused, put away the dagger, clicked on the virtual display screen of the personal terminal on his wrist, operated it twice, and then a voice sounded, it was the voice of their Hawker family message operator, saying: "General , a relative of yours is calling you on the family internal line, is it connected?"

"Relative? Who is it?" Lei Yin frowned impatiently. He had clearly stated in the clan association not to contact him when he was working. Who would dare to break his rule?

"It's your son, Al." The operator replied politely.

"Oh...it's Al." Rain suddenly laughed. He was surprisingly indulgent towards his son, and he didn't even pursue it. He asked the operator to wait for a while.

Then Rein stood up and left the blood-stained interrogation room. He went to a nearby lounge, tidied up his clothes, took off the blood-stained coat, and took off his Gloves stained with blood, sitting in a clean lounge with a clean image, and then asked the operator to connect to the message from Al over there.

The message was delayed for a while, but soon Al appeared on the virtual screen of Rein's personal terminal. Through this image, Aier could also see his father's appearance. At this time, Rein was sitting on the sofa in the lounge , with a smile on his face and a little affection, he asked Al: "Al, why do you want to contact me all of a sudden?"

"Dad!" Al seemed a little nervous in the video. He was actually a little afraid of his father. Although Rain always put on a very peaceful and gentle appearance in front of him, the sensitive Al seemed Perceived something, and he could not describe what he perceived.

Although he noticed something, Al still forced himself to smile, and said to Rain: "I'm sorry, Dad, I was looking for you while you were working... Well, I heard that you are killing those pirates now..."

"Yeah, it's a bit troublesome, but it's easy." Rain still smiled gently, "But why are you suddenly interested in pirates?"

"No...actually, the main purpose of contacting you is to tell you one thing." Al hesitated for a while, and said to Rain, "Lyle is gone."

"Lyle?" Rein paused, frowning and asked, "Who is Lyle?"

Rein's words seemed to startle Al on the other side for a moment, and his face turned a little pale. He still forced himself to put on a necessary smile, and said to Rein; "It's your second son, don't you remember?" ?”

Rein stopped laughing, his brows furrowed deeper, and his tone became a little harsh: "Are you contacting me because of this kind of thing? A dispensable second son? Al, who is the heir of the Hawke family!? "

Al's face became even paler, but he still kept smiling and said, "It's me, I'm the heir of the family."

"You have to remember this! Al!" Rein continued strictly and in a bad tone, "You will replace me as the pillar of the alliance in the future, don't give me any weakness for unreasonable reasons! When I go back, I will I will train you well."

"I understand, father." Al replied respectfully, he seemed to swallow his saliva, summoned up his courage, and suddenly asked Rain again, "Father, I heard that the group of pirates hijacked the original Earth route. A passenger ship of mine... I have a friend who seems to have boarded a spaceship on that channel recently, so I want to ask you."

"Friend?" Rein seemed to be a little careless, and said perfunctorily, "That's really bad, those pirates slaughtered all the passengers on the passenger ship before I arrived, if your friend boarded this ship... I'm afraid It's bad luck."

Al's expression seemed a little numb, and he said, "I see, thank you, father."

"Why didn't you call me Dad suddenly?" Rein seemed to be aware of the difference in this address.

Al still smiled palely: "When father is working, it is more formal to call him father."

After that, Al cut off contact with Rain, and Rain didn't take it too seriously. In his mind, the call with his son was just an episode. What he cared about was what the pirate leader revealed in the interrogation room. Some news came out.

Soon, Lei Yin's adjutant came to find Lei Yin according to the order, and Lei Yin pointed to the pirate leader lying dead in the interrogation room, and gave a casual summary of the information disclosed by the thief leader before, and at the same time asked his adjutant Take away the thief's personal information terminal and ask him to check the person who contacted the thief anonymously through some media.

The adjutant agreed to Rein's request one by one, but the adjutant brought some bad news to Rein this time. The adjutant said that he had sent several teams to place those planets that could be docked one by one on the route of the original Earth route. While searching, the survivors who flew away in the escape boat did not find it, but found something even worse.

"What?" Rein asked.

"It's the Zerg." The adjutant bent over carefully and whispered, "We found traces of the Zerg's stay on the planet. Although we haven't seen the real master, they definitely came here not long ago."

"Zerg!?" Rein seemed to get nervous, he no longer sat leisurely on the chair, but stood up unconsciously, walked back and forth, "This is impossible, this is the territory of the Alliance, There are troops stationed and defending the border, and the space defense network is there, how could the Zerg come in!?"

"But..." the adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "We did find traces of the Zerg, with their footprints and a temporary lair...Although the lair is empty, the analyst said it was not long ago Nests, they leave about no more than 72 hours."

Rein, who was pacing back and forth, stood still, seemed to think briefly, and said: "It seems that we have a new mission to find out the survivors who ran away in the spaceship, and at the same time find the Zerg for me." Come out... hope the survivors are smart, or they'll be eaten by bugs."

On the other hand, Lyle, who may be eaten by bugs at any time, seems to have no knowledge of his own destiny. He still embarks on a journey with his puppet to find the lost people on the earth, and this is an arduous and exhausting task. Over the course of time, Lyle didn't know how far he and the puppet had traveled. He drew crosses one after another on the map. These were places he had been to but could not find any people.

Desolate earth, scarce life, limited resources.

This planet is too quiet, Lyle walked for a few days, almost heard no sound along the way, except for the whistling wind, Lyle had never heard the kind of birds and flowers, greenery rash, and the competition of all things in nature. The scene is full of dead silence and desolation, only ruined cities and the remains of unknown creatures.

After staying in this environment for a long time, if he didn't speak, Lyle would have a feeling that he would forget to speak. He was a little worried, but he had no one to talk to, and there was only a puppet beside him.

So Lyle talked to the golem, and he kept calling his new name for the golem: "Ska!"

Scar turned his head and stared at Lyle intently. Lyle liked the way the puppet stared at him, and felt that the puppet had only Lyle in its eyes, and nothing but Lyle.You can't see the sky, you can't see the ground, you can only see Lyle.

This feeling of being paid attention to wholeheartedly is unprecedented for Lyle. He likes it very much and is even a little obsessed with it. relative.

Kissing is actually an addictive thing. Once Lyle experienced the fun of it, Lyle, who was in adolescence, was a little out of control.With the idea that "the puppet won't mind anyway", as long as Lyle thinks about it, he will throw himself into Scar's arms and kiss him.

It's just that occasionally the kiss goes too far, and Scar really can't restrain himself.

[Here is a paragraph that was deleted for passing the review. Readers only need to know that they have not done it to the end.]

Lyle and Scar walked the desolate planet for days without Lyall seeing anyone else.

He was always alone with the puppet, and the puppet pampered and protected Lyle so much, acting as a humanoid air conditioner for Lyle, doing things for Lyle that he was too lazy to do, serving as a meat wall for Lyle to help him block the wind and sand, and even Holding Lyall when he didn't feel like walking, kept him walking for a day without touching his feet.

This feeling of being protected and served by someone with all their strength is so intoxicating, so during this period of time, Lyle could no longer control himself. He liked Scar more and more, and even wanted to hang on him all day long. Can't come down, but Lyle also tried to restrain himself. It is a good thing to rely on the golem, but it is more troublesome to rely too much.

Moreover, they have more important things to do now, Lyle can't stick to the puppet all day and live this kind of shameless life.

Although Lyle actually likes this kind of life.
