Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Blood exists in Rein's world almost all the time.

Rain can rarely see colors other than red. As long as his spirit fluctuates slightly, his vision is like a filter of blood, and death mocks in his ear, laughing at him. incapacity and escape.

He can only escape, he is used to avoiding, he tried his best to forget all these bad things, but he kept thinking about it, thinking about it again and again.

"How do you feel? Rein." Seeing that Rein seemed to have calmed down a lot, Lyle asked him, "Do you feel fear?"

On Rain's cheeks, the dense scales began to spread again, but it was obvious that he was quite calm. He didn't scream or struggle like before. He clenched the hairpin in his hand and looked up. Lyle: "I've always felt fear all the time."

"Congratulations on becoming a human being again, Rain...Although this is only for a short time." Lyle said, "And in this short time, I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Rain didn't speak, he looked at Lyle, and seemed to be waiting for his question.

Lyall asked the first question: "Did you kill my mother... Shirley?"

Rain's eyes became dazed, and after a while, he replied, "Yes."

"Why did you kill her?"

"The Hawke family has a ban, and foreign invaders will be cleared." Rein spoke mechanically, and he seemed to have lost part of his feelings. "And I happened to be clearing the point at the time, and I didn't even notice that it was her..."

"I see, you hacked her to death, right?" Lyle sneered and said this cruel fact, "You are so crazy, Rein, that you can hack the person you love to death There are not many guys in this world."

Rein was silent again, he stared blankly at Lyle, as if he was looking at another person through Lyle.

"Do you think she will hate you?" Lyle asked again, not minding Rain's gaze.

Rain replied, "Yes, she must hate me very much."

"Are you happy then?"

Rein suddenly lowered his head and scratched his face with his own hands, as if trying to peel off his face alive. His voice was hysterical, and he shouted hoarsely: "How could I be happy!"

"Then... do you think I will hate you?" Lyle suddenly changed the question, he reached out and pressed Rein's shoulder, causing Rein to look up at him, and then Lyle moved his face closer to Rein , and look at him at close range.

He repeated the question: "Do you think I'd hate you?"

Rein looked into Lyle's eyes, and those dark pupils seemed to be staring directly into his heart, seeing through his essence and soul, which made Rein tremble uncontrollably, and Rein subconsciously replied: "You meeting."

"Are you happy then?"

Rein couldn't speak, he trembled for a long time, he didn't want to meet Lyle's eyes anymore, so he turned away from Lyle's eyes, and replied, "No..."

"You should look at me, Rain, I'm your son, your and Shirley's child." Lyle emphasized this point, "You can't see Shirley anymore, at least you should look at me."

Lyle's words made Lei Yin helpless, so he had to turn his gaze back and look at Lyle again.

"Does looking at me make you feel bad?"

Rain nodded: "...Yes."

Lyle laughed: "Then you should look at me even more, because I want you to feel more uncomfortable."

"I still have a few questions to ask you, don't worry, we can take our time." Lyle continued slowly, with a sense of wanting to torture Rein mentally, "Do you still remember that you were in a coma? Who was the person who was killed before?"

Rein clenched his fist and replied, "...Al"

"Yes, it's your eldest son, Al." Lyle's tone became a little slower, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Rain: "Do you think Al will hate you?"

"meeting."

"Are you happy then?"

Rein seemed to be unable to take it anymore, he shook his head tremblingly: "I'm not happy...I'm not happy, have you asked enough? Lyle...I don't want to answer anymore..."

"You still have a wife, Rain. It's Shelia, and it's Al's mother. Do you think she hates you?" Lyle turned a deaf ear to his plea and continued to ask, the expression on his face permeated with indifference, incomparably indifferent, " Do you think she will hate you? Answer me."

"She hates me, she hates me so much..."

Lyle's insistence on asking questions made Rain feel very powerless, he couldn't stop not answering Lyle, he could only continue to answer: "From the first day she married me, she hasn't stopped hating me..."

"Are you happy then?" Lyle continued.

"Do not……"

"Rain." Lyle raised his head slightly, ignoring Rain, "Do you hate yourself?"

This time, Lei Yin replied quickly: "Hate."

"Are you happy then?"

"Do not."

"How on earth would you be happy?" Lyle continued his questioning.

"I don't know." Rein shook his head: "I don't know."

"Haven't you ever felt pleasure in this world?" Lyall said. "Is there anyone who will give you pleasure?"

Rain yelled again, yelling at Lyle: "She is dead, and the people in this world who can bring me happiness are all dead!"

Lyle still looked indifferent, with a steady tone: "Yes, she is dead."

"Rein, do you think the bunch of questions I'm asking you are mocking you or provoking you?"

Rein looked at him: "Aren't you mocking me?"

Lyle actually laughed, and he laughed unexpectedly. The smile was really similar to his mother's, which made Rain look confused.

"I did laugh at you, but I also think you let me down. Rein, things have come to this point, I remind you of all this, not to make you feel sorry for yourself, not to let you fall into this boring confusion You're in a daze, it's fine if you haven't reflected on it, you and Shirley's only child is sitting in front of you, don't you show me anything?"

Rain was stunned, and looked at Lyle in a daze, as if his mind was amused for a while, and he couldn't even say a word.

"It seems that you don't." Lyle sneered at him, "Rein, the reason for your failure is also based on this. For all the people you don't care about, you will never care about his thoughts and his situation, and this, whether it is Before you go crazy, or after you go crazy, it is fully reflected in you."

"And the only person you care about in this life is Shirley. She is dead. In your eyes, everyone in this world is garbage with a humanoid appearance. They are unimportant and useless waste. Even if I am You and Shirley's child, you also treat me as garbage."

Lyle seemed very puzzled. He observed Rein carefully, as if he didn't understand. He looked at Rein in disbelief: "Why are you such a scumbag? Why do you become a hero? You can't even The mentality of wanting to protect the alliance and human beings is only caused by your obsession with protecting Shirley. You gave Shirley all your and only precious feelings, but you think No one can do it without her."

"It's not her you love, Rein." Lyle shook his head, pointing out the truth to Rein bluntly, "The person you love has always been only yourself."

"What you love is the...crazy version of yourself who likes someone and gives everything for her."

With a lump in his throat and trembling all over, Lei Yin could only look at Lyle in horror, as if he was looking at something that terrified him.

On this side, Lyle stood up from the chair. He picked up the short knife on his lap and showed the blade to Rein. He sneered at Rein, "You only have two choices today, Rein, Let me kill you, or you do it yourself, there is no third option, you can only die."

After Lyle finished speaking, he pointed the tip of his knife at Rain, and he didn't swing the knife or chop or stab. He just stood there and maintained the movement of raising the knife, as if waiting for Rain to take the initiative Deliver it to your door.Rain really came to the door. He stood up and took a step towards Lyle, and the tip of the knife also took a step away from him.

When Lei Yin walked to the edge of Lyle's knife step by step and pressed his chest against the point of the knife, Lyle spoke again. He stared at Lei Yin intently and said, "As long as you care about me...Father, You should know what to do."

Rein also looked at him.

……

Clarence has been guarding the door of Rein's ward for a long time. He sometimes hears subtle sounds from inside the ward, but the sound insulation effect of the room is very good. Generally, if the door is locked, you can hardly hear the movement inside. Clarence Si couldn't open the door privately, so he had to walk around anxiously while waiting.

Waiting outside with him was Principal Gaia. Gaia did not leave with his puppet, but also sat on the rest chair in the corridor and waited, watching Clarence wandering repeatedly in front of him, Gaia finally couldn't help but speak:

"It's no use worrying any more. In fact, you already know the outcome of the matter, don't you?"

Gaia's words stopped Clarence's pace for a moment, and Clarence said to Gaia, "I'm just worried that if Ray goes crazy, he will hurt Lyle."

"This is impossible, not to mention that the child's puppet is still inside, and at the same time, Lyle's mental power is beyond imagination. He has reached the point where he can control others with only mental power, and he doesn't know How did you do it? It’s really scary.” Gaia rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"With this kind of mental power, not only can Lei Yin not hurt him at all, but he will also be suppressed by him in turn."

Clarence wasn't surprised that Gaia would know about Lyle, he knew it didn't matter, but the main thing was his attitude.

Clarence said, "In that case, what do you think of Lyle?"

"Opinions?" Gaia smiled and shook her head, "What can I think?"

"I thought you'd at least do something about Lyle," Clarence said.

Gaia continued to shake his head: "There is nothing to do, Clarence, the establishment of this academy is also because of Rain's funding, and I can be regarded as Rain's subordinate. Now that Rain can't do it, his position is taken by Lyle. Come to inherit, then I will naturally follow in Lyle's footsteps, the stronger the loyal master, the better, as lackeys, we don't need to have any objections."
