Puppeteer [Interstellar]

When Lyle woke up, all the freshmen had left, and Clarence was the only one left in the ward. Clarence, who had been guarding for a few days, basically didn't sleep well, and his face was quite haggard. When Lyle woke up, he even In a state of trance, it wasn't until Lyle, who opened his eyes, called Clarence's name, that Clarence was completely freed from that half-asleep and half-awake state.

Seeing that Lyle was awake, he shouted excitedly: "Lyle! You're awake!"

Lyle propped his body on his elbows, raised his upper body slightly, his face didn't show much of the haze or confusion that just woke up from sleep, he looked very sober, as if he had always been so sober All the same, Lyle said to Clarence, "How long have I been asleep?"

"About five days." Clarence calculated the time.

Lyle paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and then asked, "Where is my puppet?"

Clarence thinks that Lyle's appearance is really calm and surprising, but Clarence also thinks that Lyle's appearance is very good. He also imagined that Lyle would yell and look for him as soon as he woke up. Brother, or simply break down and become a lunatic like Rain.

But the result was neither. Lyle chose the best one. He was very normal, so normal that Clarence began to feel a little abnormal, so Clarence's attitude towards him changed. Cautiously, he replied cautiously, "Your golem is in your room, and he's showing signs of mania, so I locked him in a cage."

"I want to see him." Lyle made a simple and clear request, "Ska must stay by my side."

"Well, I will try my best to meet your requirements... But you can't run around, like you were in the operating room before, and ran out just before the operation was over." Clarence asked him for reassurance, he knew Lyle is a guy who basically can do it if you say yes.

Lyle moved his weak body a little bit, because after lying down for a few days, his muscles became weak, and physical activities felt extremely difficult, so Lyle shook his head: "I don't want to walk around with such a body Interest, that is asking for guilt."

"Very good." Hearing Lyle's assurance, Clarence nodded with satisfaction: "Are you still uncomfortable?"

Lyle just laughed: "Do I look uncomfortable?"

Clarence still felt uneasy, and he tried to comfort Lyle: "If you feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable, you must say it, Lyle, don't hold it in your heart, I am very worried about you."

Clarence's words seemed to have touched Lyle a little, and Lyle looked at Clarence with deep eyes for a while, and after a while, he sighed: "I'm fine, Clarence, thank you very much for your concern, really... thank you very much."

After confirming that Lyle was fine, the big stone in Clarence's heart fell to the ground, and he began to ask Lyle for confirmation: "Lyle, what did you do to Rein before?"

"Rein?" Lailton paused, his tone suddenly full of sarcasm, "What's wrong with him?"

"He has been unconscious all the time, and... the mental tester shows that he has suffered a very serious mental attack. The attacker's powerful mental power has been entrenched in his cerebral cortex, making him unable to wake up from a dormant state. If you do this , then only you can wake him up."

Lyle sneered: "What if I don't want him to wake up?"

Clarence felt that it was possible for Lyle to do this, and it was very possible, especially when thinking of the corpse lying in the morgue, Clarence felt that Lyle might have made up his mind in this way, so Clarence said: "If you want him to die, then we can start preparing now... After his death, you have to monopolize the power of the Hawke family, and take everything about Rain for yourself bit by bit. use."

"You're such an idiot, Clarence, don't you feel sorry for him at all?" When Lyle said this, his calmness was terrifying, and his tone was terrifying, even Clare Lance also felt that Lyle seemed to be different from before.But when he took a closer look, the boy in front of him was still the same boy, with that pale face and immature smile, he felt that Lyle was still the same young boy with dreams as before.

But Clarence also knew in his heart that Lyle would never be able to return to the past.

"For me, Lyle..." Clarence is extremely serious, but his tone is heavy, "Now you are the most important thing, I will give everything I can for you, no matter what height you want to reach , I will be your pillar and promise never to betray."

Clarence's words kept Lyle silent for a long time. After a long time, Lyle asked Clarence, "Clarence, can you tell me honestly why you are so desperate?"

Clarence said: "I am responsible for my crime..."

"That's not what I mean." Lyle interrupted him, "I mean, you can completely ignore it, even if you said that you created the existence of 'Rayne', which led to successive tragedies , but I don’t think that’s actually any of your business.”

"Rein did it voluntarily." Lyle said, "I know he did it voluntarily, accepting your body modification voluntarily, so he should have known the consequences he would bear at that time. You are just a scientific researcher, Claren Si, you are just the one responsible for presenting the result to him, and the one who chooses the path is still Rein himself."

"Whether the result is good or bad, whether the fate is sad or happy, Rein has the responsibility to bear it. It has nothing to do with you. You can let go and do your own thing."

"So why did you choose to sit here, sit in front of me, and promise me that you will give everything for me? I know that you are actually out of guilt and feel that you are sorry for Rain, so you want to help Rain complete his mission." Career, his ambition. But how many people in this world have such guilt, and only a stupid guy like you can..."

"Lyle, this has nothing to do with Rain." Clarence interjected.

"Today, I stand in front of you just because of you."

Upon hearing this, Lyall turned his head to look at Clarence. There was a kind of dullness in the boy's eyes, as if he had lost his vitality: "Because of me?"

"Yes, because of you."

"Do you know? Lyle, when I saw you, I seemed to see your father when you were young, and Rain when you were young." Clarence said seriously, "From the first time I saw you, I vaguely realized Until... I still have a chance, a chance to come back."

"Do it again...?" Lyle muttered, and then he laughed: "I'm afraid it is, there is no chance to do it again."

The two of them didn't talk anymore. Clarence lowered his head in thought, and Lyle didn't say a word. He didn't know how long the silence lasted. Suddenly, Lyle said again: "When I inherit Rain's position, you Know what I want to do, Clarence."

"What do you want?" Clarence looked up at him.

"I want the Zerg to perish," Lyall replied, "I want the war to end... Only victory can end the war."

"To save her life, to prevent her from going to the battlefield, to protect her! I want the war to end." Rein was lying on the operating table. When Clarence was holding the anesthetic and was about to inject him, he Suddenly he spoke to Clarence, his eyes were firm, and he said this sentence: "... Only victory can bring the war to an end."

This sentence coincides almost perfectly with what Lyall is saying now, and Clarence can't help but tremble when he listens.

He looked at Lyle, but found that Lyle was staring straight ahead, his eyes stretched all the way, and he didn't know where to look.The expression on his face was cold and resolute, and Clarence felt that he probably couldn't forget the expression on Lyall's face now, that kind of indescribable...

In life, people always make mistakes, countless mistakes, irreversible mistakes.

Some people escape, some people waste away.

Naturally, some people choose to face it, standing in front of the rocky cliff where mistakes are piled up, facing all the daunting things.

Such a person is strong, although everyone can think that he is weak, but he is indeed the strongest in the true sense.

Today's Lyle is the strongest.

But Clarence could no longer face Lyle at this moment. He felt that his heart was aching, which made him feel suffocated and painful. He stood up and turned his head away from Lyle's young face. He said : "I'm going to bring your puppet here, I think you need him very much now."

With that he left, leaving Lyle alone in the ward where he lay.

Lyle, who was alone, was no longer afraid. He leaned on the pillow of the hospital bed and looked up at the ceiling.

There is an intelligent exterior scene on the ceiling, which can simulate the display of the sky. As long as Lyle wakes up on the hospital bed, the intelligent exterior scene on the ceiling will simulate a blue sky, making the whole room very bright, just like the natural world of the earth in a dream. The scene is like that.

Lyle looked at the sky like this for a long time, until a voice came from his ear.

Al lay on the edge of his hospital bed and said, "It's beautiful."

"Yes, very beautiful." Lyle replied in a trance.

"I took the Earth Illustration before and showed you the natural scenery on it, and it also has such a beautiful light."

Lyle nodded: "Yes, that's it... such a beautiful light."

Al said, "Don't be afraid, Lyle, you can do better than that without me."

Lyle couldn't speak, he lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembled slightly, and wept hard.
