Puppeteer [Interstellar]

"It's tragic, so you try to goug his eyes every day?" Lyle said.

Gaia took it for granted: "So what, I'm happy to do it."

"Are you going to treat him like this for the rest of your life?"

Gaia's tone became fierce: "Even if I treat him like this all my life, it's still my business!"

Lyle looked at Ska beside him, Ska didn't respond to their conversation, he was just a little wronged, and after so many days, Lyle fell asleep when he returned to the room, and Ska didn't have much The opportunity to touch Lyle, because there is no chance to touch Lyle, so Scar is terribly wronged, exuding his wronged emotions to Lyle all the time.

Lyle smiled at Scar, then turned to continue talking to Gaia: "You know what? Gaia, I've already thought of the theme for this academy celebration."

Gaia seemed to be annoyed by Lyle's words, but instead of yelling at Lyle, he turned around and left angrily. The puppet beside him followed suit, and the two quickly walked out of the room The back of the door disappeared from the sight of Lyle and Clarence.

Clarence looked at Gaia who left, then turned to look at Lyle, and asked, "Are you serious? That so-called academy celebration?"

"Of course it's serious." Lyle was very lazy. He stretched out his hand towards his Scar, and Scar immediately jumped up and grabbed Lyle's paw, and climbed onto Lyle by the way, completely ignoring the other people around him. Clarence is such a big living person here, holding Lyle's face and making a gesture to kiss him.

Fortunately, Lyle pressed Scar's lips in time to stop his action. Lyle kissed the corner of Scar's mouth as a reward, and turned to Clarence and said, "What do you think about me and Scar? Sample?"

Clarence had no expression on his face, "What else can I do, show off my love every day, and abuse single dogs?"

Clarence's words were so funny and humorous, which made Lyle laugh immediately. He said, "I've always wondered why I can be so intimate with my Scar, but others can't?"

"Hmm..." Clarence also seemed to have some guesses about this question, "Maybe it's because of the different ways you formed the bond? Actually, I also find it very strange. The bond with the puppet is almost a life-and-death for a puppeteer, but you He finished it so easily with Scar, originally I thought it was because of your excellent mental strength, isn't it more than that?"

"Of course it's more than that. I think that in the puppet master academy, those students and their puppets have huge problems in forming a bond. They treat the puppets as tools and abuse and insult them wantonly. That's all. ...they never seem to have thought about getting to know the golem."

"The puppet's thoughts?" Clarence shook his head and laughed. "The puppet has no thoughts, they don't even have self-will, so how can they have thoughts?"

Lyle looked back at Clarence and gave him half a smile, then Lyle pulled Scar's paw next to him and asked Scar, "Honey, do you want to kiss me?"

"Think!" Scar answered quickly, staring at Lyle's lips, his eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Then Lyle asked Clarence next to him, and asked him, "Do you think that's his idea?"

Clarence froze.

After being stunned for a long time, Clarence touched his chin and said, "Indeed, if the relationship between all puppet masters and puppets can be improved like yours, the output and quality of puppeteer masters will be greatly improved, but this has nothing to do with the academy. What's the deal with the celebration?"

"Of course it has a lot to do with it." Lyle seemed to be planning something, he said, "I hope that through this celebration, all the puppeteers will realize that their puppets are not puppets without will at all. As long as they are willing to give in, then spending this life happily with the puppet will no longer be so unacceptable."

"How can we make these children back down?" Clarence asked again.

Lyle said: "I have some ideas of my own, but I don't know if they are suitable. I need to find some people to test them out."

Lyle said that he wanted to find someone to experiment, and Clarence really found a few people for him to come to the experiment. Because Lyle specifically explained it, the ones Clarence recruited were all third-grade students who already had The kind that made the golem and made the final contract, they were all suspected of abusing their own golem.

These students were called over for no reason, and they were all at a loss. Although they were puzzled, they did not resist. The Puppet Master Academy has a strict hierarchy, just like the military academy. The orders of the superiors are absolute, and the orders of the superiors cannot be disobeyed. of.

There are a group of soldiers with guns on Lyle's side, and Adjutant Daryl is also guarding here. Lyle's thin body is very eye-catching among this group of tall and burly soldiers. His short stature and immature face make him see They didn't look like military officers, but these students also bowed their heads obediently and obeyed Lyle's orders.

"Today is a special day." Lyle said to the students: "I have some tasks that I want to give you to complete. This is not only a task but also a kind of training or course."

"Let's do without further ado. Let's do what I say now. First of all, put on normal clothes for your puppets, cover the logo on their necks, and preferably wear a contact lens so that others can't see it from the outside. They're puppets."

"Then, issue the following orders in sequence: first, order them not to be silent from now on, but to speak and respond like normal human beings, and the order lasts for 24 hours. Second, tell them not to follow you from now on, freedom Activities, where you want to go, also lasts for 24 hours. Third, under the above two premise, order them not to obey any orders from you within 24 hours from now on.”

Lyle's words immediately stunned the third graders who called over. The students looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't quite understand what Lyle's request meant. You should do what Lyle said, until the adjutant next to you, Daryl, stepped forward and said loudly, "Follow the command."

A few third-grade students had no choice but to do what Lyle said. According to what Lyle said before, several people found different clothes for the dolls, and dressed the dolls like normal people .

Immediately afterwards, he gave three orders to his puppet in sequence. This kind of order is quite rare. The puppets were suddenly stunned.

It is not a problem to make the puppet not be taciturn. It is not a problem to talk like ordinary people. Many puppet masters will also train the puppet to be a more slick tool. The trained puppet can talk to people and talk to ghosts. Make up for the imperfection of the puppet master himself in communication, etc.

But it is more difficult to prevent golems from following. Golems have the characteristic of passively protecting their masters. If they are too far away, they cannot protect their masters, so even if they accept such an order, they will not really follow. I don't follow my master anymore, I just follow it in a way that is farther away.

And the third order is fine for the puppet, but it is more difficult for the master. Several students are accustomed to ordering, and they can’t do anything without the kind of puppet. Water and other trivial things in life are all done by golems, but within 24 hours after the order takes effect, they must do all the next things by themselves.

Lyle emphasized this several times. He took out several mini-tracking flight monitors, and set one up for the students one by one, saying: "During these 24 hours, you will be fully monitored by these flight monitors. If you record some bad pictures, it is impossible for me to destroy the video and return it to you.”

"After 24 hours have passed, you will come back to me and report to me. At the same time, I will also take back these flight monitors. If I find any of the monitors showing signs of artificial damage, I will send all of you. Locked up for three days."

Several third-year students suffered from this innocent disaster, and they all went out with bitter faces. As they went out, several flight monitors released by Lyle also flew over. As for their puppets, because of the previous order Unable to follow immediately, he stayed in place for a while before following out.

This experiment seemed very simple and straightforward, but Clarence didn't know if it was really effective, so he turned to Lyle and asked, "Is this really good?"

"Even if it's bad, it won't have much impact." Lyle smiled contentedly.

Clarence thought about it carefully, and felt that Lyle was right, so he didn't continue to express unnecessary opinions.

And 24 hours will pass quickly. When the time is about the same, Lyle returned to the room where he had received several third-grade students and waited. At about that time, several students rushed over, and some students seemed to stay up all night. They all looked haggard with dark circles under their eyes, and they were surrounded by golems who would automatically return to them when the time was up.

Lyle didn't take the flight monitor back immediately, but asked, "How do you feel these 24 hours?"

The students began to answer one by one——

The first said with an indifferent face: "I don't think it makes any sense."

A second agreed, "I think so too."

The third person hesitated for a moment: "It's... not bad, my puppet..."

The third person didn't continue talking, and then the fourth person hurriedly replied with a hint of anger: "I asked my puppet if he liked my cooking, and he actually said that my cooking was terrible. , not in line with his appetite, it really pissed me off!"

The fourth... that is, after the last student finished speaking, the others all turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and the fourth student blushed immediately, and stammered, "Actually... I still feel fine."

After hearing this, Lyle touched his chin thoughtfully, and seemed to have some ideas.
