Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Let Scar take the little queen to assassinate the big queen, which was a plan formulated by Lyle and others.

It is almost the only opportunity for human beings to defeat the Zerg. Once successful, human beings will avoid the end of being destroyed and survive in this vast universe and in this dark jungle.

However, this plan was temporarily formulated by Lyle and others, and it is full of uncertainty and surprise. The probability of success and failure is [-]-[-]. Prepare.

From the standpoint of human beings, they undoubtedly hope to succeed.Because this is their last chance to turn the tables. If they win, they will live; if they lose, they will die.

There was no time for Lyle and them to hesitate, because they had already become bait, driving an X-79006 interstellar space carrier, guiding the tracking insect swarm, and leading them in another direction.

Lyle can drive the mothership to continue traveling in the interstellar space, thereby guiding the swarm to a place farther away from the human star field, but sooner or later they will consume all the fuel, and then they will be pursued by the The swarm drowned.

If they were submerged, the swarm might return to the human star field in order to retaliate, and wipe out the remaining humans in the star field.

Of course, the bugs may not do anything, just take back their little queen, and return to their territory surrounded by the new queen.

These are all things that can happen.

Lyle didn't dare to make too many guesses. What will happen in the future is beyond the scope of Lyle's grasp. He can only grasp the present and try his best to make the greatest effort for survival.

At this moment, inside the space carrier X-79006, Lyle is alone with his puppet.

This is the last battle, so they need to prepare for the next battle, whether it is physically or psychologically.

So Lyle had to make a little time alone with his Scar.

Lyle sat on the bed, and Scar stood in front of him.Scar lowered his head slightly, and stroked Lyle's cheek with his hands, his movements were very gentle, showing his cherishment and love.

Lyle, who was favored, raised his eyelids and looked at Scar. After watching for a while, Lyle said to Scar: "In the Puppeteer Academy, I asked those students to release their puppets through a series of commands, so as to To achieve the condition of equal communication between the puppeteer and the puppet... Do you remember?"

Scar nodded silently.

Lyle asked again: "Then you remember, at that time I did not free you like other students liberated their puppet."

Scar continued to nod, "I know."

"Now I'm going to liberate you." Lyle looked into Scar's eyes very seriously, "I hope you can recall the memory of when you were a human... No, or you never forgot, but when you After being transformed into a puppet by Clarence, Clarence did some mental suppression methods on you, making you forget the feeling of being a human being to the greatest extent, making you without human memory and mental state, making you Lost myself."

"He turned you into a monster, a hybrid of humans and Zerg, and forced you to obey certain habits of Zerg, such as modifying the recognition system in your brain, so that you regard me as a 'queen', like a bird The way real bugs do to the 'queen', obey me, sacrifice everything to protect me, and then you just become a puppet... a slave."

When Lyle said this, he lowered his head unconsciously, avoiding Ska's staring eyes at him.Then Lyle tried to calm the slight trembling of his body, trying to ease the anxiety and anxiety in his heart.

Lyle said softly: "Not long ago, I ordered Clarence to make an 'antidote'."

Scar was very calm. He was very calm when listening to Lyle's words, as if he was listening to someone else's story.

Feeling his calmness, Lyle looked up helplessly at the puppet in front of him, and said, "Ska, do you understand what I mean? I'll wait... I will inject you with this antidote, which will relieve What Clarence did to you back then will allow you to restore your memory, restore your memory and spirit as a human being, and you will regain yourself again... You can even completely break away from all my control over you."

"You don't have to do this." Surprisingly, Scar actually said such a sentence, and he looked at Lyle seriously, "Whether I have myself, I know very well."

"No...you don't know." Lyle covered his face with his hands, and said sullenly, "You just feel that your will is in your own hands now, but when you recover the memory of being a human being, I'm afraid you won't would think so."

Lyle said: "From the day you became my puppet, I have always had this idea. I can't let the person I love the most... Always follow me like a puppet or a slave, without self-will, Without the ability to choose, it comes and goes like a dog."

"Although I have said that I love you countless times, and you have expressed your love to me countless times, I once thought that we were absolutely in love and partners who worked hard together to live and die, but when human beings face such desperate situations, we When we were all about to perish, I suddenly realized...maybe we never fell in love, because it's not fair to you at all."

"We are in love, I don't need this kind of fairness." Scar frowned and seemed a little angry.

"You need it!" Lyle's tone became a little more intense, he gritted his teeth, "What you need...Ska, you say you don't need it now, just because you are a puppet, and the memory of those bugs in your body is causing trouble, They are affecting your judgment, they make you think of me as the supreme 'master', and your thoughts... probably never were your own thoughts."

Scar actually retorted angrily, "That's what I thought."

"Is it true? We can try it." Lyle opened the small incubator that Clarence gave him, and there was an injection in it.

"Inject this, Scar." Lyle said to him in a commanding tone, "I will release all the shackles on you from now on, you can stop listening to my orders, stop trying to protect me, and regain all you This is your freedom, and this order is effective immediately and indefinitely."

Scar didn't listen to Lyle's order, even though Lyle had given the order completely and accurately, but he still stood there, staring at Lyle motionless.

"Listen to me, Scar...execute the order." Lyle inexplicably felt that his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible thing, making it difficult for him to breathe, his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't even maintain normal thinking ability. He felt very scared.

Today, when there may be no tomorrow, and now, when you may die anytime, anywhere.

Lyle didn't want Scar to die with him, and he didn't want Scar to be someone's "accessory" until his death.

Scar used to be a great soldier who fought for the alliance. He was brave, brave and good at fighting. He had his own parents, relatives and friends, life and dreams. He should have lived a free life instead of becoming a stick around Lyle. dog.

Lyle loves him, and the more he loves him, the more he understands that he has no right to restrain such an excellent man.

"Ska, listen to my order, please." With tears in his eyes, Lyle smiled and said to Scar, "I was always cowardly, selfish, and persistently holding on to you and refused to let go. You could have asked Clarence to come up with this antidote that would liberate your mind, and not say a word about it."

"I'm terribly afraid that once I free you, you'll just turn around and leave without mercy."

Lyle shook his head slightly, and smiled wryly at himself: "But if you want to leave, I obviously have no right to keep you. I've been making excuses to comfort myself, it's Clarence and the alliance that made you look like this, it doesn't matter My business. But thinking about it now... this just further shows my stupidity and selfishness, and I have also become an accomplice in ruthlessly depriving you of your free life, and I am even complacent about it."

"I'm sorry, Scar, I didn't figure this out until now, and it's such an emergency." Lyle raised a smile again and looked at the puppet, "When I release your shackles, you want to leave directly, It's okay, I won't force you to fight, or do anything you don't want to do..."

"If you feel dissatisfied, you can even kill me directly."

"I won't hurt you." Scar looked at Lyle tenderly, "I won't leave you either."

Lyle seemed very happy, but the tears in his eyes slid down the corners of his eyes, "Really?"

"Really," Scar said.

"Then inject." Lyle put the incubator with the injection in front of Scar, "Prove it to me."

Even if it fails, Lyle will not have any complaints.

He felt that the current self had finally matured.Perhaps because of too many experiences, or because the threat of death is close at hand, Lyle finally crawled out of the eggshell that protected him, and looked up at this extremely vast and terrifying world.

He always has to face, whether it is the future or love.

Scar obeyed Lyle's order, and slowly reached out to get the injection in the incubator. The injection contained a colorless and transparent liquid. This liquid was a reverse program, reversing the original program that suppressed Scar's mental memory and self. Conversely, Scar will regain the consciousness of ordinary people, and the regained Scar is very likely to cut off the spiritual connection with Lyle. After that... all orders from Lyle, Scar will no longer have to obey.

This is the last battle, which determines the life and death of human beings, and Lyle does not want Ska to be like a machine, mechanically accepting orders, mechanically going to fight, and mechanically meeting death.

He had to give Scar a right to choose on his own, so that Scar could evade and leave, ignore it, and get rid of this damn alliance and damn Lyle in one fell swoop.

This is the way for mature adults to express mature love.

It is also the proof that Lyle really loves Scar.
