Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Looking at Al lying on the table in the morgue, Clarence sighed for a long time.

He had wiped off the blood on Al's body with his own hands, and changed his clothes.It's just that this boy is still too young, lying in the morgue that represents death like this, even Clarence's heart is sore, and he can't stop sighing.

Sometimes Clarence also doubts himself. The older he gets, the more he will think about the mistakes he made in his past life. He has always made too many mistakes, some of which you even know are wrong. But the kind that has to be done.

Clarence felt that everyone that Rain had killed was his sin, because the birth of Rain was his sin.

And he didn't know how to stop the crime.

Worst of all, Clarence knew he would get his comeuppance one day.

Clarence looked at Al for a long time, and finally he turned his head and left the morgue. He had to find Lyle.

Lyle is still lying on the hospital bed in the infirmary. Since he was knocked unconscious by Arista, Lyle has not woken up again.Like Lyle, there is also Rein, who has been in a coma for a long time. However, Rein's subordinates are not too serious. After they passed out due to severe headaches, they forgot what happened when they woke up.

Clarence roughly dealt with the current situation, and he couldn't make the already extremely bad situation worse, so he asked Arista to help guard Lyle's golem, while he came to guard Lyle's golem. Well, as for Rein, his subordinates certainly don't eat for free.

Rain's condition is very bad. Clarence went to see it. It may be because of the influence of Lyle's powerful mental force field. Rain, who was already on the verge of mental breakdown, completely collapsed this time. Clarence didn't even think about it. I can't believe what he will look like when he wakes up. Maybe he will go crazy and be as hysterical as those puppets, but Clarence doesn't regret it because he knows it will happen sooner or later. If he can't be saved, he will go crazy after all, and he will despair sooner or later.

Almost all the drugs Clarence gave him to suppress his mania no longer worked on him.But even if it didn't work, Rein was still taking it, and he formed a terrible drug dependence. As long as he felt a little uncomfortable, he would stuff medicine or inject a tranquilizer into his mouth. After a long time, Rein would have drugs Without adaptability, those medicines will naturally lose their effect.

Rein's state has always made Clarence very worried, and Rein himself has become more and more manic. He has a bad temper, his behavior has become unpredictable, and he hurts and even kills at every turn... Maybe he has always been like this, His condition has not improved at all.

This kind of Rain is a kind of torture to others and himself. Every time Rain asks him for more medicine, Clarence will even think darkly, just give him another dose of poison , kill him, so as not to harm others and himself.

But Clarence just thought about it. He felt that he was hypocritical, ridiculous, and extremely timid.He couldn't let Rein die, because Rein was the pillar of the entire alliance, and if he died, things would fall into an irreparable situation.

Simply put, if he died, where would Clarence go to find another Rain to deter the worms?The Zerg have been afraid to launch a general attack because they are afraid of Lei Yin's strength. The reason why the alliance can barely maintain the superficial unity until now is also because of Lei Yin's strength.

It is because Rain is sitting here that peace can continue.

But Clarence secretly wished him dead.

Many people want Rain to die, because Rain has also done a lot of bad things, irreparable things, he has killed too many people, even now he seems to have accumulated a very good reputation, but as long as someone who knows a little bit about the inside story, They will all hate Rein deeply.

He is a hero and a villain.

Clarence didn't want him to die because of hatred, he just wanted Rein to be free.

In fact, Rain should not have lived until now. As early as many years ago, on the day Shirley died, Rain should have died with her, but out of selfishness and for the sake of the alliance, Clarence let him live.

Whether the outcome was good or bad, right or wrong, Clarence himself did not know.

He only felt regret, and he just wanted to free Rain.

"I'm a sinner, I'm really a sinner." Sitting on the edge of Lyle's hospital bed, Clarence scratched the messy hair on his head and continued to sigh.

No matter how you restore it, it cannot be restored, and no matter how you fix it, it cannot be repaired.Things had come to such a point that Clarence had no choice but to move on, and Rain, as the pillar supporting the alliance, was decayed and crumbling, and to put it bluntly, he was useless.So Clarence had to find the next pillar, which was right in front of him, Lyle in the hospital bed.

The war will never end until the Zerg are completely wiped out.

……

There was a man standing there, thin and of medium height, not very tall, he looked like a teenager from the back, bathed in the warm sunlight, the golden radiance sprinkled on the other's exposed skin, imprinted with beautiful radiance, Gives a very good impression.

"elder brother?"

Lyle stretched out his hand towards the familiar figure in front of him. He opened his mouth to shout out, but in fact he didn't shout out anything. His voice seemed to be hoarse, and he released all his voice.

But the person in front started to move, walking towards a distant place, he began to get farther and farther away from Lyle, as he went away, Lyle felt his heart beating up, he became frightened, and he tried to remember Taking a step, he wanted to keep up with the man's pace.

But just like his hoarse voice, his body also became dull, and he was even unable to move. He just stood there stiffly, watching that person go away.

"elder brother……"

"elder brother!"

The corner of the clothes was being tangled crazily by someone, and Lyle trembled from being shouted. He turned his head and looked beside him, only to find that there was a little girl with blond hair and red eyes, only reaching his waist standing beside him. Pulling the corner of his clothes, he kept calling his brother.

"Don't call me brother." Lyle suddenly hated this word... Then, just like he hated this title, he began to hate the little girl in front of him, and he repeated, "You are not allowed to call me brother."

"You asked me to call you brother." The little girl actually felt Lyle's disgust, but she didn't back down, but smiled at Lyle, "And you want to avoid this name?"

"I didn't escape."

"You are escaping." The girl was decisive and her tone was firm, "You are not only escaping, you are also afraid."

"I have no fear!" Lyall pushed her away and yelled at her.

Heidi was not afraid of Lyle's hysteria at all, she said seriously: "Lyle, avoidance and fear are not the means to deal with problems. Could it be that your brother is dead, and you will die with him?"

"He's not dead." Lyle hugged his head, he repeated, "He's not dead, he's alive and well, he promised me."

"Of course he didn't die, at least you still have a chance to save him." Heidi laughed.

Heidi's words made Lair immediately raised his head and stared at her with wide eyes. He staggered up to her, knelt down in front of her, and put his hand on the girl's shoulder: "Do you have any questions?" Is there a way to save him? You have a way, right!?"

"I can." Heidi narrowed her eyes, "As long as you want him to turn into a monster."

"It's... a monster?"

"I'm not human...brother." Heidi grinned, "The only way I can save him is to turn him into a monster like me."

"As long as he can survive." Lyall muttered to himself.

"Even if you don't care about his feelings?" Heidi tilted her head slightly to look at Lyle, "Even if it will cause him pain? Even if he wakes up, he will be so painful and desperate that he wants to commit suicide. Even so, do you want him to come back to life?" ?”

Lyle was speechless, but looked at Heidi and the girl's bright red eyes in despair.

"You can't do it, Lyle." Heidi said, "You won't do it, as long as you care about his feelings, you will never do it."

Lyle didn't speak. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground. His whole body was limp and powerless, and even the hands on Heidi's shoulders slipped off.

Heidi lowered her voice and spoke softly, and said to Lyle: "Don't let him down, Lyle, he wants you to live well, so you have to live well for him to see."

"But he can't see it." Lyle was extremely sad. "He will never see it."

Heidi reached out and pressed Lyle's shoulder in turn, and said to him: "Lyle, don't fall into despair, never fall into despair."

Lyle looked up at her.

"You're not Heidi." Lyle looked at her for a long time, then said suddenly, "Heidi can't talk like that, she's very naive."

The girl over there laughed: "Yeah, I'm not Heidi...I'm Alice."

"you are still alive?"

Alice shook her head: "No, I'm dead, it's just that part of my spirit is attached to Heidi, and I can talk to you in the form of a personality."

"You should wake up, Lyle." Alice said, "Staying in this world will only make you escape even more. If you are just blindly afraid of fear, shrinking here and not leaving, you look at his back, you And just keep looking at his back."

Lyle raised his head and looked at the back of the boy who had gone away in the distance.He had indeed gone far away, but the light still shone on him. He gradually walked into the light and was covered by the light. Lyle realized that he was about to go far away.He will never look back at Lyle, he will leave, he will leave forever, Lyle will never see his face smiling softly at him, and he will never feel the touch of him touching Lyle's hair , Never heard him call Lyle's name again.

As long as he thinks of this fact, Lyle can't stop the fear and hatred in his heart. He is afraid of facing the world without Al, and hates this world without Al.

His departure announced the end.
