Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Compared with Lyle and Scar, there are also more puppet masters, and some unexpected gains have been obtained through this dance.

Gaia didn't want to be there.

This inexplicable celebration dance completely broke the traditions of the Puppet Master Academy over the years, messing up the rules that the academy has worked so hard to create and maintain. It seems that at the same time, it broke some rules in Gaia's heart. An inexplicable premonition that if he goes, he will never be able to live peacefully with the calm state of mind he is now.

But he had to go, because this is the ball that Lyle advocated and proposed, and it is also a ball organized by Lyle. In the future, Lyle will monopolize everything that belongs to Ray, and he will gain power and prestige, and he can even win the entire alliance. If Gaia wants to survive better in the alliance, then pleasing Lyle is the most important and indispensable part of it.

At least for this, Gaia had to swallow the dissatisfaction and irritability in his heart, bite the bullet and go to the ball, at least he had to meet Lyle at the ball before he could leave.

With the idea of ​​going in to meet Lyle and leaving, when Gaia took the invitation letter and went to the place designated on the invitation letter to attend the inexplicable ball, two "rabbits" in rabbit suits at the gate checked I got his invitation letter, stretched out the rabbit paw to him, and asked him to take his puppet and go to another room to prepare some necessary things.

"Ready?" Gaia said impatiently, "I know this is a masquerade ball, all you need to do is wear a mask, isn't it a mandatory requirement?"

"It's not just that, sir." The rabbit at the reception replied politely: "You are a puppeteer, before you can participate in this ball, you must be separated from your puppet, and your puppet cannot stay with you. "

"Separate?" Gaia didn't understand, "Why do you want to separate, you have no right to separate my puppet from me!"

The rabbit who received the reception continued: "If you don't want to, you can give up participating in this dance. We will not force you to participate, but if you want to participate, you must act according to our rules."

Gaia was about to scold her in his heart, but he had to remind himself repeatedly that he had to meet Lyle at the dance, so he tried his best to calm down his restless state of mind and calm himself down. He took a deep breath for a long time , and finally said: "Okay, listen to you."

Ever since, the two rabbits bent down and bowed, making an invitation gesture to Gaia, and said, "This way please, sir."

And Gaia comforted herself, at least the reception of this dance party is still very good, it is hard to believe that this is actually an activity organized by a group of students around 15 years old.

With their puppet and two rabbits, they took Gaia to the door of a room, and let Gaia and the puppet enter the room. When Gaia entered, he found a man standing in the room. The guy I don't want to see at the stage - Clarence.

Clarence also dressed himself up. He was wearing the suit of a king in a fairy tale, and he wore a delicate and even cute little crown on his head.

"I knew you would come." Clarence laughed when he saw Gaia.

"Of course I have to come!" Gaia said angrily, "As the dean of this academy, if I don't come, it means that I refuse to support Lyle, which is very detrimental to his development, and he may still be killed because of this. dissatisfied with me."

"You think too much, Gaia." Clarence laughed again, "Even if you don't come today, it won't have much impact. This ball is completely confidential. Those who come to the ball will have their identities from the moment they enter the ball. There is uncertainty, people don't care who you are, you don't care who others are, no one asks your name, no one thinks about what you did before."

"No matter what you say, I think it's a stupid idea." Gaia obviously couldn't listen to Clarence's words at all.

"Okay." Clarence said regretfully, "Whether you're stupid or not, since you've come to the dance, it means you're mentally prepared. Let's get started, dear Mr. Gaia."

"Start? Start what?"

Clarence pointed to the paper on the next table, and said to Gaia: "If you see that there is no paper over there, you can follow the instructions on that paper one by one. After you finish, you can go to Pick out your favorite outfit in the dressing room next door, put on your favorite mask, and go to the dance."

Gaia looked suspicious, but according to what Clarence said, he walked to the edge of the table, picked up the paper and quickly scanned it. After scanning, he glared at Clarence in disbelief, and said, "This is His idea? This is Lyle's idea? Let the puppeteer free their puppets? Let the puppets move freely? Oh! My God! Didn't he consider the danger? The magic that the alliance has always asked Is the rule that the puppet cannot act alone has been forgotten? What if the puppet attacks others out of control? What if..."

"There's not so much in case, Gaia." Clarence laughed. "Lyle is at the ball, and his puppet is also there. They will control everything. If anything happens, they will solve it. You don't have to think about it at all."

"If they can solve it! I don't have to worry about it..."

Clarence took a step towards Gaia and interrupted Gaia again: "Gaia, listen to me."

Gaia closed her mouth, looking at Clarence as if calmly.

"I know you have been abusing your puppet." Clarence took a deep breath, and then said in a gentle voice, "I know you are an excellent puppet since you entered the Puppeteer Academy and when I saw you. Teacher, you have completed all the courses you need to study in the academy according to the indicators. You can be said to control your puppet and even your life perfectly. You are tough and powerful, and you understand what you have to do. Your decisiveness makes you Got to where I am now when I was around 20 years old."

"You're like a taut string, never letting go." Clarence lowered his head, "I've committed many sins, boy, and every puppet I create, I feel it's my sins , but I still have to move forward, I still have to act, and I still have to keep making puppets, because if there is no puppet master in the alliance, human beings will have no future."

"But I still hope that you can relax a bit. I hope that all the puppet masters will not feel pain, sadness or even despair because of their puppets. I even hope that these puppets will be better. Lyle pointed out the way for me. He It showed me a brand new possibility, and I hope that everything in the future can burst into the path of my dreams... So, at least believe me, Gaia, at least for you, this is actually not a bad thing. "

Gaia didn't speak anymore, he looked at Clarence who was dressed in a ridiculous king's attire, he was silent, then squeezed the paper in his hand, and said with a sneer: "Okay, I believe you, I will do what you said Do it, Clarence."

Gaia then pinched the piece of paper and turned to look at her puppet.Gaia's puppet was named Gerald by him. This is a name Gaia's father once used, and it is Gaia's favorite and most hated name.

Gerald is a handsome puppet with a solid body and tight skin. He gives people a sense of security. When he stands here, you will feel that you will not be hurt by anything, but this It doesn't prevent Gaia from hating him, Gaia hates her puppet very much.

Gaia didn't want to become a puppet master. When he was selected for spiritual power, he was very disappointed, but his father was very happy, ignored his pleas, and sent him to the spaceship of the puppet master academy, and since then The puppet master's point of no return.

That was the last time Gaia saw his father, he stood at the entrance of the academy ship and watched his father wave to him, that was the last time, and since then, he has never been home, nor can he go home again , even after he graduated from the Puppet Master Academy, he had no chance to go back.

His father sent him many messages or emails, but none of the emails were actually delivered to Gaia. Puppeteers were almost not allowed to return to their original families. Since they entered the Puppeteer Academy, they Life and life will belong to the alliance, the family, will be nothing.

Gaia didn't know if his father had regretted it. Anyway, he had almost forgotten what his father looked like. The only thing he could use to remember the past was this name, the name he gave his puppet.

"Gerald."

Gaia called him like this, and his puppet bowed its head very obediently, waiting for his order.

So Gaia took a deep breath, he glanced at the paper he was holding in his hand, and began to order his puppet according to the first item written on it.

These orders are actually very short, and Gaia can read them one by one soon. His puppet obeyed his command very much, standing there and watching him silently. The remaining scar on the puppet’s eye made Gaia feel a little uncomfortable. Turning his head away, he said to Clarence on the side; "Is that all right?"

"Yes, that's it." Clarence pointed to the dressing room on the other side: "You can go to choose clothes, and I will take care of your puppet temporarily."

Gaia snorted coldly, entered the dressing room without looking back, and then he didn't come out, because another door in the dressing room directly leads to the dance scene, and he can participate in this grand ceremony after going out from there. It's prom.

"Hello, Gerald." At this time, Clarence also walked up to Gaia's puppet and said to him: "He should have changed his clothes to go to the ball, you can also choose a suit , Remember to wear a mask, I hope you will not do anything out of line."

Gerald didn't speak. He seemed to be dull for a while, then he nodded to Clarence and turned to enter the dressing room.
