Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Chapter 190 Three

Preventing Daryl from wanting to use violence to subdue Caesar, Lyle stepped forward slowly, approaching the crazy Caesar cautiously.

Daryl was worried that something might happen to Lyle, so he whispered to Lyle: "He is very manic, Lord Lyle... Please be careful."

Without looking back, Lyle waved his hand to show that he knew.At the same time, he kept walking, and still walked slowly to Caesar.

As Daryl says, Caesar is in a decidedly manic state.After the death of the puppeteer, the puppets will almost always fall into such a state, they will frantically attack the surrounding creatures, even including themselves, and walk towards death in such madness.

But what makes Lyle feel strange is that Caesar does seem to be manic, and his body remains in a semi-zerg state.But it didn't seem to be completely manic, at least he didn't scream hysterically.

Lyle has seen the puppet in a manic state, and Clarence showed him the related video. In the video, the frantic puppet will not be as quiet and easy to subdue as Caesar... especially the current Caesar.

The current Caesar is surrounded by many guards under Daryl. Although his face is full of excitement and vigilance, he seems to be very timid, hugging Al in his arms and huddling into a ball, not daring to break through at will.

Lyle approached him and called his name softly: "Caesar...do you still recognize me?"

Calling Caesar's name seemed to make Caesar react a bit, he raised his head in response, stared at Lyle for a long time, then suddenly brought his nose close to Lyle, and sniffed on Lyle.

This action made Lyle stiff for a moment, and then Lyle realized that Caesar might have smelled something from him.

Lyle wasn't sure exactly what Caesar smelled on him, because after Caesar sniffed Lyle for a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and offered to Lyle the master he was holding tightly in his arms and treasured.

Caesar half-kneeled on the ground and lifted Al up in a sacrifice-like posture.

He held Al up to Lyle, as if he wanted Lyle to do something, but he didn't ask, he didn't say a word.

This action made Lyall terrified, trembling all over with fright, Lyle did not dare to lower his head to take a closer look at Al, whom Caesar raised under his eyelids, because he knew that he would see a pale face.

That was something Lyle hadn't been able to accept so far—he might never be able to accept the fact that Al was dead, even if it was the truth.

So Lyle, who refused the facts, didn't look at Al, and shook his head directly at Caesar: "He is dead, Caesar."

Caesar didn't speak or move, and stubbornly maintained the posture of offering Al to Lyle like a sacrifice. Lyle knew that Caesar wanted him to save his master.

So Lyle could only continue to shake his head sadly: "I can't save him, he's dead..."

"I'm not dead." Caesar suddenly spoke, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the deep voice that came out after the damage of the vocal cords, this kind of voice made it difficult for Caesar to speak.

But Caesar still spoke calmly: "He is still alive."

Lyle didn't question whether what Caesar said was true or not, Lyle believed it easily, and immediately lowered his head to look carefully at Al's face, and it turned out that Al really didn't have the gray and dead face as Lyle had imagined. Al's face was rosy, his breathing was even, and the eyeballs under his eyelids were even rolling slightly.

"How could it be!" Lyle was surprised and delighted, and quickly reached out to pick up Al, and hugged Al into his arms. When he hugged Al, he could even feel the warmth of Al's body, which was amazing. Warmth is the temperature that human beings should have.

"How could this happen!" Lyle yelled again in surprise, but laughed excitedly: "My God! He's still alive! He's really still alive!"

"Lord Lyle." The adjutant Daryl stepped forward at the right time and suggested to Lyle: "It is indeed a blessing that Master Al is still alive, but we don't have time to cheer and celebrate now, we should send him to the doctor for examination .At the same time, Lord Lyle has other things to do."

"Yes... yes, I still have things to do." Lyle was a little nervous at the same time, and he was in a trance due to conflicting emotions. He hugged Al, who was still in a coma, and then handed him over to Dar Lil, "Dalyl, take Al to the infirmary for the doctor to see, and I'll talk to Caesar."

"Do you want me to keep a few guards by your side?" Daliel couldn't let his guard down completely, and glanced at Caesar.

"No, no need." Lyle refused, "As long as it doesn't swarm me, one or two Zergs can't pose a threat to me at all, and besides... I believe in Caesar."

"Okay, I understand." Daryl took Al from Lyle's hands and took Al to the infirmary, and Lyle watched Al being taken away with some reluctance.

He was still in a daze, feeling as if he had been hit by a huge pie falling from the sky, or as if he had won 5000 million star coins in a lottery ticket. In short, this kind of unexpected surprise made him feel elated, like a dream.

"He's still alive..." Lyall murmured, and then Lyle turned to look at Caesar, "How did you save him?"

Lyle knew that Caesar must have done something to bring Al back from the dead. After all, when Al died, Lyle witnessed it with his own eyes. At that time, his mental power even exploded because of Al's death, almost crazy.

Later, Lyle went to the college morgue to see Al's body. Al was so cold at the time that there was no possibility of resurrection.

In fact, Lyle can save Al. Alice's remaining will once told Lyle through a dream that as long as Lyle is cruel enough and willing to turn Al into a monster, with the help of the little Zerg Queen's power, Al can be revived. of.

But Lyle didn't do it, he knew that if he did, he would turn Al into a monster, like Rain, like Caesar, like Scar, like many, many other golems A half-human, half-insect monster is equivalent to destroying Al, his life and dreams, and everything about him!

This is even more embarrassing to him than killing him directly.

Lyle would not do this, but deep down in Lyle's heart, he desperately longed for Al to survive. There was a voice in Lyle's heart telling him indistinctly that neither life nor dreams were actually as important as life. Only by being alive can we create infinite possibilities.

Go revive him!Even if he turns him into a monster, he will not hesitate!Living is the most important thing, isn't it? !

My mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts like this, whispering in Lyle's ear like a devil's temptation, and Lyle was almost going to carry it out!On the day of the college's sky burial ceremony, Lyle almost ran over to snatch Al's body away. If Scar hadn't been hugging him tightly, Lyle would have done it!

All remaining sanity will be exhausted.

Unable to maintain minimal calm.

But Lyle still failed to implement it. During the short time he hesitated and contradicted, the sky burial ceremony was quickly completed, and all the corpses were projected into space. Lyle lost this last chance forever.

He once thought that death was the best ending for Al.

Until today, when Caesar held the alive Al in front of Lyle, Lyle really realized that only being alive is the most important thing.

Al is alive, which is more important than anything else, even if he becomes a monster, becomes delirious and crazy like Rain, or has no self and is controlled by others like Scarcaesar and other puppets, Lyall will Want him to live.

Even if it's selfish, Lyle's wishful thinking.

"But he survived." Lyle suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said to Caesar, "What did you do?"

"I lost half of my body." Caesar mechanically answered Lyle's question, "Below the chest, a large area of ​​internal organs, bones, and muscles was lost and damaged. Fortunately, my head is intact, which can guarantee a certain degree of consciousness and make myself The body is in a dormant state, waiting for the opportunity to regenerate."

The golem's self-healing ability is very powerful, like the Zerg, it is equivalent to high-speed regeneration.In the Puppeteer Academy before, Gaia abused and dug out one eye of his puppet Gerald every day, but that eye could grow back within an hour or two without even leaving a scar. How strong is the puppet's self-healing ability.

For Caesar, he didn’t give in too much. Being blown off his lower body wouldn’t make Caesar really dead, but regenerating limbs requires energy, so Caesar could only stay dormant, waiting for some “food” to come to his door.

The Zerg wandering around the academy base at that time became Caesar's rations.

Caesar ate a badly injured bug, recovered a little bit of strength, and ate two or three more in succession, but his limbs still hadn't fully grown, because human limbs grow too slowly.

In order to save time, Caesar chose to directly grow Zerg limbs from his lower body, and he became what Lyle saw now, with a human upper body and an insect lower body.

After he regained his ability to move, he naturally went to look for his master Al as soon as possible.

Al was indeed dead, but the strange thing is that Caesar didn't fall into excessive mania because of Al's death. Although he did feel that his mind was a little disordered, he still couldn't control his behavior.

A sane Caesar steals Al's body from the morgue, and rightly so begins figuring out how to bring his master back to life.

Caesar didn't have as many worries as Lyle, so he didn't bother to think about the consequences of resurrecting Al, and what Al would think after he came back to life. He didn't care about these, he just wanted to keep Al alive.

So Caesar began to check Al's body, and he found that the fatal wound that caused Al's death was a penetrating injury piercing the heart from behind.

Caesar's idea is really simple, he thought: If the heart is broken, just change the heart for Al.

So he took out his own heart and replaced it with Al.

Anyway, for Caesar, the heart can also be regenerated, but losing the heart will put Caesar in a state of suspended animation for a period of time, so Caesar must be prepared before changing his heart, he must eat enough food to store energy, so that After giving the heart, let himself survive the state of suspended animation, so that he can regrow the heart, otherwise he will be really dead.

Needless to say about this process, anyway, Caesar captured many nearby Zerg as food reserves, stole an escape pod with fully automatic medical equipment, and after eating and drinking, drove the escape pod to leave the distant star, and at the same time used the escape pod to An automated medical device performs a heart transplant on Al.

Maybe it's God's favor, Caesar's extremely reckless way of helping Al actually made him hit the wrong way!

There was no rejection, and the long-term death did not damage Al's body functions. In short, after replacing Caesar's heart, Al miraculously recovered his vital signs, with breathing, heartbeat, and rapid movement during sleep. The eyes represent that he is dreaming, which means that he has regained some consciousness.

Just never woke up.
