Puppeteer [Interstellar]

During Lyle's coma, he had a dream.

Lyle rarely dreamed. When he was a child, he often had nightmares. People in his dreams were always chasing and killing him. He cried and went everywhere to ask for help. Whenever he met someone in his dream, he would ask him, can you help me? ?

As soon as the person in the dream turned his head, he had a super scary and bloody face, and then that person would pick up the blade and join the ranks of chasing and killing Lyle.

Lyle was being chased in a dream, and he kept running away until dawn, until he woke up.

If there are too many such nightmares, Lyle will become unwilling to sleep, even afraid of going to sleep, but it is impossible not to sleep, he has to get up on time every morning to go to class, and his lateness will only make more people sneer at him overtly and secretly.

So slowly, Lyle began to stop dreaming. Dreams were a distant thing for him, which was good, at least he didn't want to have nightmares anymore.

But today's dream is the first sweet dream in his life in more than ten years. In this dream, he saw the once green and vibrant earth. In his dream, there are grasslands, lakes, and Rivers, forests, infinite blue sky, and vast and magnificent land.

I don't know why he would have such a dream, but the world in the dream is indeed very beautiful, the air is sober, the sun is warm, the occasional wind blowing over makes people feel very comfortable, and the water touched by the fingers is also cool and refreshing .

Lyle is walking in such a dream world, he is walking along the river, in the dream he doesn't know where he is going, and he doesn't care where he is going, he just moves forward aimlessly, enjoying the The rare peace of mind.

Then he saw not far away, a figure appeared on the other side of the river.

Someone he felt familiar with.

The other party was tall and slender, and Kong Wu felt powerful from the back, with long hair reaching shoulders, which was blown up in strands by the wind.

Lyle stood on the other side of the river and looked at the man from a distance. He opened his mouth to call the other person's name, and he shouted: "Ska—"

Then Lyle awoke from the dream, and he opened his eyes.

The weak body was finally no longer in that uncontrolled state this time. Lyle moved his fingers subconsciously, and found that his stiff limbs were slowly returning to normal. He finally regained control of his body, and then he started Look around and find yourself in a cavern-like place.

There is still a desolate land outside the cave, but the sky has become dark and the temperature has dropped a lot. It seems that it is almost nightfall.

But where did Scar go?

Lyle looked left and right, but there was no trace of Scar around him. Lyle forced himself to get up, and found himself covered with a coat. After touching it, it was Scar's coat.

Lyle frowned, he felt an unusually strong fishy smell in his mouth, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Subconsciously, he reached out to wipe his mouth, but his hands were covered with blood.

This startled Lyle, who thought he was vomiting blood, but it didn't feel right...

Could Scar have fed him blood?

If there is no way to find a water source, and Lyle is in extreme need of water and nutrition, feeding him blood is indeed the best way, which can greatly relieve Lyle's dehydration symptoms.

But this conjecture shocked Lyle. He couldn't help worrying about Scar's safety. Scar had been exhausted from fighting those Zergs before, and he would take Lyle through the wormhole afterward. In the past, he didn't know how long he had been holding Lyle.

Even if a golem is not human, even if they say a golem is a monster, monsters have limits.

Even monsters will bleed and cry.

As expected, he is still very useless, and has been dragging Ska down. If he is stronger, the situation will be much better than it is now.

Thinking of this, Lyle was a little frustrated, but frustration couldn't solve the problem, so Lyle quickly cheered up. He looked around but couldn't find Scar. Where did Scar go?

Lyle is not worried, he knows that Scar will definitely come back soon, and he is not worried that the other party will leave Lyle just like this, because Lyle can still vaguely feel Scar's emotions and the existence of Scar , he knew that Scar was not far from him.

So Lyle just huddled in the cave and waited obediently, but while waiting, Lyle suddenly heard a rustling sound. Although the sound was very small, it was very obvious in the quiet environment.

Lyle was quickly attracted by the sound, and he glanced towards the source of the sound.

As a result, Lyle discovered that the thing that made the sound was a small mound outside the cave.

Lyle got up, holding Scar's coat in his hand, forced himself to walk over carefully, then squatted next to the small mound of dirt, and observed it carefully for a while.

It is estimated that there are creatures crawling or digging holes in this small mound, so the rustling sound is made, it should be some kind of small animal.

Lyle had no intention of digging up the mound of soil to have a look, because he was very tired, his limbs were limp and he had no strength at all. He was afraid of some unpredictable danger, so he decided to go back to the cave and continue to shrink.

As a result, when he got up and was about to leave, the creature in the small mound seemed to have opened the hole, and he got out of the mound. Lyle took a closer look and found that it was a creature he had seen before. .

It is the evolution or mutant of that kind of rodent creature, a furry little creature like a ball. Lyle had seen this kind of little thing when he first arrived on the earth and was still looking for the lost army base. He also let Si Ka helped catch one, but was later released by Lyall.

Didn't expect to see you here again.

Lyle lowered his head to observe this little thing carefully. The little animal dug a hole and looked up, but in vain saw a human being as big as Lyle standing in front of it. It was obviously startled by Lyle. It trembled and made a chirp. Lyall thought it would be scared and retracted into the small hole he dug, but the little thing shrank for a long time, and poked its head out again.

It not only poked its head out, but also crawled out of the small hole with its whole body, crawled and crawled, and crawled to Lyall's feet, scratching Lyall's shoes with its paws.

Lyle was surprised to find that the little animal was not afraid of him, and looked very intimate, so Lyle reached out and picked up the little thing. When he picked it up, Lyle realized that the little thing was There was a pinch of white hair on his forehead, which looked familiar to him.

"Oh it's you."

Lyle suddenly recognized this little animal. It was the same little animal that was caught by Scar and let go by Lyle before. However, it was really a coincidence that they met here again.

Wait a minute, if we meet here... Lyle suddenly had an idea.

Because the backpack was lost, Lyle and Ska didn't have many supplies on them. Of course, they didn't have a map.

But the existence of this little animal pointed out a way for Lyle.For things like animals, no matter how large their range of activities is, they should not be too far away from their nests.Lyall remembered that they had found their first source of water not long after Scar had caught and released the little creature.

In other words, the lair of this little animal is not far from the water source, and Lyle and Scar should have been to this place before.

What's more interesting is that the bottom of the first water source they found was actually one of the entrances and exits of the lost army base.

This also means that Lyle and Scar will be able to return to the Lost Army Base soon.

"It seems that we turned around for a long time, and finally returned to the same place." Lyle smiled while holding the little thing. He felt that meeting this little thing seemed to bring him some wonderful good luck, so he was very happy with the little thing. The chirping furball said, "You gave me a surprise."

The fur ball didn't understand what Lyle was talking about, and it still called to Lyle in a low voice. It just remembered that Lyle let it go, so it instinctively thought that Lyle was friendly, and wanted to get close to Lyle.

However, Scar came back quickly. As soon as Scar came back, the fur ball in Lyle's hand jumped out of Lyle's palm as if sensing danger, and then quickly crawled back to the cave. Lyle Seeing its amazing speed, in the blink of an eye, all it can see is its buttocks and tail that were still exposed when it burrowed back into its small hole.

By the time Scar stood beside Lyle, the little fur ball had completely retracted into its own mound, and there was no hair left.

Lyle thought it was funny, but before he finished laughing, Scar picked up Lyle with one hand and hugged him into his arms.

Scar was not very satisfied with Lyle's behavior of running out of the cave. He wrapped him tightly with the coat Lyle was holding in his hand. The temperature had dropped, and their clothes were slightly damaged, which was not very good for keeping out the cold. And there seemed to be Zerg wandering nearby, Scar could feel it.

However, Lyle only had time to tell Scar about his new discovery. Lyle said that he had just discovered the small animal that was released by them, and that there should be an entrance to a lost army base nearby.

Of course, in fact, Scar has already discovered this. Taking advantage of the temperature drop when the night falls, activities are not so restricted. Scar has already surveyed the vicinity and found the water source. I have to hold Lyle to find a drink of water.

However, when Scar carried Lyle away, Lyle subconsciously touched Scar's clothes to see if there were any wounds on his body. In order to keep Lyle alive, Lyle knew that Scar was definitely in Lyle. Lyle was fed blood while unconscious, and the bloody smell that remained in Lyle's mouth was the evidence.

I just turned Scar's body up and down, and Lyle didn't feel any wounds on his body. Finally, Lyle remembered that Scar's healing ability was amazing. It has already healed itself.

Lyle was worried, and pinched Scar's cheek to look carefully at his handsome face. He found that Scar's complexion was normal, and his eyes were also bright red. Scar's arms.

"Ska, let's go back to the base." Lyle said softly to Ska.

Lyle felt that this matter had come to an end, the alliance forces had blasted Pfister's spaceship, and he and Scar had successfully escaped. Although Arnold and Siri didn't know the situation yet, Lyle felt that Arnold was shrewd. Very well, nothing would happen if they thought about it. Next, they just need to go back to the base, hide them honestly, and wait for the alliance army to clean up the Zerg. After the alliance army leaves, Lyle will be completely free.

He never wants to go back to that alliance, that central galaxy, never wants to see his so-called father or other family members, he has nothing to do with the Hawk family, he is free, he can fly anywhere, and There are also many new friends and new partners. No matter what disasters and setbacks happen next, it feels as if they can be solved easily.

You can even be with Scar forever.

Lyle really felt that happiness was right in front of his eyes.
