Puppeteer [Interstellar]

At the ball of the Okan family, in order to stir up the enthusiasm, the host of the ball came to the front of the stage, held a microphone and said in an elegant voice: "All members of the Okan family, I would like to wish everyone who came to the ball tonight Happy! In order to offer this blessing, we have specially invited the famous bel canto singer of the League——Welcome Miss Madeleine to come on stage and sing a 'Hymn of the Century' for us!"

What the host said immediately ignited the high-pitched enthusiasm of a group of people in the dance venue.

Madeleine Leakey is a famous bel canto singer in the league.In this avant-garde era full of gunpowder, many entertainment stars will undergo some special operations to change their "innate conditions" in order to gain more popularity.

For example, vocal cord adjustment surgery, by transforming the vocal cords, the original bad voice becomes pleasing to the public.

This actually has the same meaning as plastic surgery, and modern plastic surgery is no longer about fixing those superficial things. They all like to change their appearance by optimizing their genes, and then fine-tune them through some minor plastic surgery.After these surgeries are performed in succession, no matter how ugly or ugly she looks, or how unpleasant her voice is, she will become a great beauty when she finally appears in front of others.

Ever since, in such an era when celebrities will try their best to package themselves, pure natural things will appear extraordinarily different in the eyes of the masses.

Madeleine is such a typical example. Since her debut, she has shown all the medical operations and diagnosis records she has done in her life to prove that she is "all natural" and has not undergone any plastic surgery. After posing these, she stood on the stage and conquered the ears of people all over the league with her stunning voice.

Compared with those artificially modified sweet voices, Madeleine's voice is very unique and cannot be said to be perfect, but it is because of the existence of flaws that many people feel the truth, which is better than those packaged voices. The perfect voice, Madeleine's voice is much more real and simple.

So soon, she became famous in the league, and was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Bel Canto Singer", standing at the top of the league's vocal field.

Hearing that the host said that Madeleine was invited to the scene, everyone present couldn't help feeling some anticipation in their hearts. Immediately after the soundtrack sounded, a person came up from the back of the stage, and all the crowd widened their eyes and thought that That was the singer Madeleine they were expecting, but when this person stood completely under the light and was under the spotlight, the crowd at the ball was shocked to find that it was not the singer they were expecting.

Although it does look like a woman.

The woman had long golden curly hair, light makeup on her face, and her slightly lighter pupils looked hazy under the light.She wears a pink silk scarf around her neck, a bright red dress, and red high-heeled shoes. She is very tall, and the high-heeled shoes are 1.8 meters tall. It's not that no woman can grow so tall, but it's a little rare. .

As soon as this woman appeared on the stage, all the audience whispered. The dance host next to him also found that the singer who was on stage was not Madeleine, so he immediately frowned and walked to the woman's side, which was considered polite. Started to chase people away: "I'm sorry miss, I think you must have gone to the wrong place, the understage is for the guests..."

"Why, are you not allowed to sing?" The woman interrupted the host. She stood in front of the microphone, held the microphone in one hand, and brushed her hair with the other hand. Her posture was charming and coquettish.

The woman said: "Isn't there even a place for people to sing at such a big dance? Or do you think I can't sing well, so you want to drive me down?"

The host was a little embarrassed, and when he wanted to say something more, some of the guests below suddenly said: "It's okay, let her sing! Such a beautiful lady wants to sing a song for everyone, how can she not buy it?" Where is the account of the family!?"

I don't know what kind of psychology it is. Once someone starts such a start, other people will follow suit: "Yes, yes! Sing and sing!"

So many guests started booing, and the host couldn't say much, so he casually said some scenes, and then asked the woman who appeared out of nowhere, "What song do you want to sing? I asked the bandstand to Change the accompaniment..."

"You don't need to change it, that's it." The woman heard the music start, it was the soundtrack of Madeleine's "Hymn of the Century".

Then, as the music soared, the woman whom no one knew began to sing.

It stands to reason that the Okan family invited some celebrities. The circle of these people is actually so big inside and out. Anyone present can recognize all the people casually, but such a woman with a face , a woman who has never seen anyone and knows no one, she just stood on the stage and sang, and no one realized that something was wrong!

Because as soon as the woman spoke, everyone couldn't help being attracted by her voice.

It is indeed the soundtrack of Madeleine's "Hymn of the Century", but the words sung by the woman on the stage have nothing to do with "Hymn of the Century". Even so, her lyrics are still perfectly integrated with the soundtrack, It became a piece of music that, although weird, is wonderfully exquisite.

However, no one could understand her lyrics. It was not a language familiar to everyone present. If there were some scholars who knew the ancient languages ​​of the earth, they would probably be able to recognize that it was a lost oriental language.

Unfortunately, no one in the ballroom was such a scholar, and naturally they couldn't understand the meaning of the woman's lyrics, but they were all attracted, and the wonderful language made their attention uncontrollably focused on the woman. body.

They were all staring at her, so they didn't see that behind them, Osway was carrying a black suitcase he brought over, and then knelt on the ground to open it. Inside the box were densely packed mechanical gadgets.

Osway made some simple operations, and he quickly made his box of small things move. These small mechanical things looked like miniature metal spiders from the outside. They crawled out of the box and spread out densely. When everyone was staring at the woman singing on the stage, these rattling things crawling around did not attract much attention from others.

By the time they noticed, it was already too late. These scattered mechanical metal spiders crawled along the guests' shoes and trouser legs one by one, and they were still a bit heavy. When they climbed on other people's clothes, some The man noticed this, turned his attention away from the woman on the stage, and looked down at his clothes.

Seeing a palm-sized metal spider lying on his clothes, the weird shape and sharp fangs frightened some timid people to scream on the spot, but just as they opened their mouths to scream , that ferocious spider suddenly jumped quickly, jumped directly from the person's clothes to the person's neck, stretched out countless things that were thinner than needle tubes and similar to silk threads, and stuck into the person's neck among.

Then the guy who was about to scream fell silent, his eyes turned white, his body became limp, some stood unsteadily on the spot, and some even sat down on the ground directly.

The person next to him didn't know what to do, he stretched out his hand to help him, and he could see the strange spider clinging to his neck when he lowered his head. When he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, he suddenly found that the ground was almost full of spiders crawling around. .

Then, the screams began to be heard endlessly, and Arnold, who was singing on the stage, also stopped singing. He stood on the stage expressionlessly watching the group of people jumping around, screaming in horror while trying to get rid of or trample to death Those metal spiders crawling all over the place.

The dance host who was also standing on the stage with him was also at a loss, and after a long time in a daze, he seemed to remember something and started calling for the security guard loudly.

But at this moment, even the security guards stationed on the edge of the ball have been crawled up by those terrible spiders, or rather they were the first batch to be captured by spiders, and those spiders climbed up their bodies majestically, clinging to them From the neck or the back of the neck, countless tentacles-like things protruded through the skin and penetrated into the flesh and blood of the person, tightly entwined on the spinal nerves, instantly making the person lose all ability to resist.

"What's going on here!?" The host was terrified, and immediately wanted to find the real owner of the ball. The owner of the Okan family should be in the room on the second floor of the ballroom, and there should be some powerful people around the owner. Subordinates, people who can handle these emergencies.

Just when the host turned back to find the owner, A Nuo stepped forward and stopped the host. The host saw the "woman" who was inexplicably blocking the way in front of him, and stretched out his hand impatiently to push "her".

But he couldn't do it, his hand didn't even touch Arnold, his arm was already grabbed by Arnold's long-awaited puppet Siri, the puppet's strength was unusually strong, and soon The host's arm was twisted and deformed. The host screamed, his body began to twitch due to the pain, and he knelt on the ground involuntarily.

The poor host didn't figure out what happened at all. He could only raise his head and saw that the graceful "woman" in front of him tore off the golden wig from her head and threw it on the ground, revealing her hair. shoulder-length black hair.

Then Arnold walked up to Siri's side and put his head on Siri's shoulder.

Siri couldn't help it, and instinctively stretched out his arms to embrace him.
