Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Gaia didn't want to change at all, he just went into the dressing room and found a good-looking mask to put on himself. Anyway, he was wearing a more formal suit and dress suitable for a prom, with a pair of A simple white and black mask stood in front of the mirror, and it seemed to look decent.

The other end of the dressing room is the entrance of the dance party. After opening the door and entering, Gaia can see the bustling crowd inside. Everyone is dressed in strange shapes, wearing various inexplicable masks and talking and laughing together. Unfortunately, Gaia I have no interest in these things at all.

He just wanted to find Lyle quickly, and after saying hello to him, he could exit.

However, Gaia quickly realized a problem...these people's costumes are too fancy, and all kinds of "demons and ghosts" gather together, and it is really difficult to distinguish who is Lyle from such a bunch of things. Very challenging puzzles.

Gaia felt a little difficult, and he subconsciously wanted to call the puppet beside him to help him solve this problem. His Gerald had a keen perception and could distinguish male and female among a bunch of cross-dressers, but when Gaia Just when Gaia opened his mouth to call out the name of his puppet, Gaia realized that his puppet was not with him.

He is like a craftsman, after losing the tools at hand, he can't do anything,

This was the first time Gaia realized how much he depended on his golem.

But realizing this actually made him a little uncomfortable, and he tried to put this discomfort behind him, so what if there is no puppet?Gaia believes that she can do it. It is not difficult to find Lyle, it just takes a lot of time.

Gaia walked towards the group of people in front of him. He remembered Lyle's height and shape. Gaia was very smart. With this alone, he could rule out most people and narrow the scope of his search to a certain extent. Look for those who are similar in size to Lyle, and talk to them, as soon as the other party speaks, Gaia will know whether that person is Lyle.

It is indeed time-consuming, and wandering around in a crowd of so many people, it is also a very troublesome thing to eliminate one by one. Gaia looked at them one by one, and his heart was full of irritability. As his irritability gradually increased, he almost wanted to When his sanity was overwhelmed, someone behind him suddenly reached out and grabbed Gaia's hand.

Gaia was taken aback by this turn of events, and instinctively looked back, and found a guy wearing a wide clown suit, a clown hat on his head, and a clown mask standing behind him, reaching out to hold him.

This "clown" grabbed his wrist and held it very tightly. Gaia struggled twice, but failed to break free. He was very impatient and said to the other side: "What's the matter?"

The clown paused and spoke. His tone could not be heard clearly in the noisy dance, and there seemed to be a small voice changer installed on the clown's mask, which could make people's voice thinner and more harmonious. Hilariously high-pitched voice like a clown.

Such a voice made Gaia unable to recognize who the clown was, and he was not sure whether the other party was someone he knew, but the clown seemed to invite him: "Can we dance?"

Gaia became even more impatient, and his tone became impatient, he said; "I'm looking for someone, I don't have time."

The clown seemed a little disappointed. The mask on his face was painted red and green, his mouth was very long and wide when he smiled, and his whole face was deformed and weird.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, this kind of costume of clowns is not funny at all, but it will make people feel a little scary. In later generations, some people will call this fear of clowns as clown phobia.

Of course Gaia would not be afraid of a clown, but the other party's weird attire still made Gaia feel a little disgusted. He struggled hard for his arm that was grabbed by the other party, and said, "Let me go!"

The clown didn't let go, but said persistently: "I'll help you find the person you're looking for, dance with me, okay?"

This is a good proposal. Gaia really can't wait to find Lyle at this moment. If someone can tell him where Lyle is, then he can save a lot of time in searching, so Gaia said to the clown: "You Do you know who I'm looking for?"

The clown said, "I know, you're looking for Lyle Hawke."

Gaia sneered: "You know it very well, so tell me, where is Lyle Hawke?"

The clown said, "You come with me."

After he finished speaking, he continued to take Gaia's hand and lead him forward. Gaia didn't like the feeling of being led by others, but he felt that this clown seemed to be a very strong guy and wanted him to Letting go seems to require some methods. Gaia weighed it up. In order to find Lyle, he decided to hold back his breath, and when the matter is over, he will teach this impolite bastard a lesson later.

The clown really didn't lie to him, he took Gaia to find Lyle, and when he found Lyle, Lyle was dancing with his puppet, a priest in priest clothes and a knight in knight clothes stood together , Inexplicable harmony, they turned around each other, and then the music stopped, taking advantage of this gap, Gaia stepped forward to talk to Lyle.

Seeing that it was Gaia, Lyle's tone was also full of surprise: "I thought you would never come."

"How is this possible?" Gaia laughed at herself, "I always have to use actions to tell you that I am on your side."

Lyle said: "Thank you for your support, I hope it didn't cause you any trouble. But I'm sorry, Mr. Dean, I don't have time to accompany you. I wish you a happy dance tonight."

After a few boring polite words, Lyle took his Scar and left. Gaia looked at his back. The so-called power in this world is so boring. In order to seize the opportunity, you have to show it all the time. From your standpoint, use all the means you can imagine to please people who are higher than you, and the process is often just a few words, just a few words, Gaia really doesn't understand why she came here Participated in this so-called prom.

He thought he should go back, back to his room, and he didn't want to bother wherever his golem was.

So Gaia also turned around and wanted to leave, but at this time, the clown beside him who brought him reached out and grabbed his wrist again, the inexplicable clown said: "You want to dance with me, you promised. "

Gaia is not a person who breaks promises, although he does not want to dance with a clown at all, it is really ridiculous, although there are indeed many ridiculous combinations in this ball, kangaroo and catwoman, vampire and priest, elf and The dragon-horned witch can have all kinds of weird costumes, so it's not so ridiculous for him to dance with a clown.

Gaia finally decided to fulfill his promise, so he followed the clown. When the next dance sounded, he was surrounded by the clown's arms. The clown was much taller than him, and his body was actually the same as that of Gerald he added. It is very similar, but the clothes are too baggy and baggy, and there is a crooked hat on the top of the head, which makes Gaia not sure whether the clown in front of him is his puppet.

He tried to use his mental power to locate his puppet. His puppet must be in the venue of the dance, but the music was too loud, and there were too many crowds. These disturbing things interfered with Gaia's Concentrating, his mind was filled with many colors and pictures. When he was led by the clown around the dance floor, he felt that his head became heavier and more dizzy.

The clown hugged him very tightly, so Gaia didn't need to worry that he would fall to the ground because of dizziness, he could lie on the other's shoulder, and he vaguely smelled the familiar smell of this person, which made Gaia A little confused.

He must not be confused, he must wake up, and he must not relax at all.

Gaia told himself so, he heard the dance music stop, he had fulfilled the promise to dance with the clown, now he should go back, leave this dance and go back to his own room, but just as he pushed the clown's embrace and turned around and thought When he was leaving, the clown over there stepped forward again and grabbed his waist and directly fished him back.

"What are you going to do!?" Gaia almost screamed and asked, but he restrained himself and lowered his voice. No one around him cared about the interaction between them, and Gaia didn't want to make himself the center of attention .

The clown hugged Gaia's waist, he was very strong, Gaia struggled a bit, but couldn't break free, the clown forcibly hugged him, left the dance floor with his arms, and walked to the backstage of the ball, here is Many single rooms are prepared for the guests to rest or date. This clown actually brought him to this place, and opened an unoccupied room randomly. He pushed Gaia in with great strength, and Gaia was pushed by him. Staggered and fell to the ground.

After the clown entered, he locked the door of the room behind him.

So now, the two of them are alone, just the two of them.

"What do you want to do? Gerald." Gaia recognized who the clown was at about the moment when the other party forcibly hugged him. The strength of that hug was too familiar, Gaia thought It would be strange not to come out.But it's unfortunate, as expected he shouldn't have followed Clarence's wishes to issue this order to free the golem, it's too dangerous, when the golems realize they can fight back, they will just go crazy the beast.

Gaia got up from the ground and stood up straight. He stretched his hands behind his waist. He remembered that there was a dagger hanging around his waist. It was usually used for self-defense. In fact, he basically didn’t use it much, but he would still Habitually put the knife on his body, but now when he touched it, he was surprised to find that the knife on his body was gone.

The clown over there showed the dagger that he took away from Gaia at some point.

But the clown didn't use the dagger, he just threw it on the ground, took off the ridiculous hat he was wearing on his head, and also took off the mask. Under the mask was Gerald's face. Gaia's disgusted face.

Why am I a puppeteer?

Gaia would ask herself this question over and over again every time she saw Gerald.

He doesn't want to be a puppeteer, doesn't want to go to a puppeteer school, he has his own dreams and life plans, but his father ignores his pleas and pushes him into this nightmare.

Everything I experienced in this academy was a nightmare.

Endless training and learning, teachers are cold and cruel, students are numb and gloomy, and even the puppet who is praised as "get it and get everything" is full of deep malice.

Gaia can't feel any happiness, and he doesn't have much expectation for the future. He gradually lives in numbness like other people. He knows that all puppets are the tools of the puppet master, but why is the puppet master not a tool of the alliance? ?

Freedom doesn't seem to exist in this world.

Gerald opened his collar, took off the clown suit that was wearing on his body, and then he took a step towards Gaia, the blood red color in his eyes was very conspicuous, which made Gaia Realizing, he wanted to do something terrible to Gaia.

And Gaia can't order him now, because Gaia issued a "liberation" order to his puppet according to Clarence's opinion. Within 24 hours, any order from Gaia will no longer have any effect on him, and he cannot order , which is equal to being unable to resist.
