Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Someone is crying.

Lyle heard the sound of someone crying. It should be a child crying. That sound feels very immature. Maybe it is because of immaturity that it is difficult to distinguish male and female. After hearing this sound, Lyle couldn't help but look around. stand up.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness all around, and I felt that there should be some scenery in the distance, but when Lyle looked over carefully, he felt that he couldn't see anything clearly. In such a blurry scene, the only thing he heard clearly was the cry of the child , so Lyle had no choice but to follow the cry.

After walking some distance, Lyle finally found the crying child.

It's a little girl.

A little girl about three or four years old, with small stature and small hands and feet, squatted in the corner with her back to Lyle. Lyle saw that she was wearing a white dress and had very beautiful blond hair. She gave Lyle I feel a bit like Alice.

So Lyall walked over, got behind the kid, and he asked the girl, "Why are you crying here?"

As soon as he asked the question, the little girl over there stopped crying, and the crying stopped abruptly, and then the girl seemed to be dull for a while, and slowly turned around.

Lyle froze for a moment, he saw that the girl had a pair of blood-red eyes, which inexplicably matched her golden hair, her small face had delicate features, and she was very cute, although her eye circles were red because of crying.

There was one thing about the child, however, that terribly dismayed Lyle, who noticed that the girl had horns on her head.

Yes, it was the horn that grew on her forehead, the shape of the horn, and the soft scales on it, which made Lyle realize that the girl's horn looked like a Zerg horn.

Zerg have these horns on their heads.

"I'm looking for my mother." The girl said suddenly, her voice was soft and cute.

Lyle approached her and squatted down, squatting in front of the little girl, so that his eyes were at the same level as hers. Lyle asked, "Where did your mother go?"

"She's dead." The little girl's voice suddenly turned cold, and her blood-red eyes stared at Lyle without blinking. Then the girl suddenly took a step towards Lyle, and reached out to grab Lyle's hand. This move Lyall was slightly taken aback.

"I don't have a mother anymore," the little girl continued, tightly tugging on Lyle's fingers. Her hands were so small that she could only hold a few of Lyall's fingers. She said, "I want you to be my mother." Mother."

Lyle couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not your mother, and I can't be your mother."

"Why?" The little girl looked at him suspiciously, "Why can't you be my mother?"

"Because..." Lyle paused, "If I want to be, I can only be your father."

"Then be a father." The little girl stubbornly grabbed Lyle's hand and called him, "Daddy."

Lyle was even more dumbfounded, "I'm not old enough to be your father, you should call me brother."

"Brother?" The little girl tilted her head and blinked her big eyes.

"Yes, brother." Lyle stretched out his other hand, and he gently stroked the little girl's head and her golden hair.

The little girl obediently called Lyle brother, and then the girl asked Lyle again: "Brother, can you help me find my mother?"

After that, Lyle woke up from the dream. When he woke up, he was lying on a hospital bed with some strange infusion tubes attached to his body. Scar was sitting beside him as usual, lying on the edge of the bed and guarding him.

Lyle felt that his body was a little heavy. He tried to lift his arm slightly, but found that his arm hadn't moved at all. His body seemed to be no longer under his command, and the connection between nerve and body seemed to be cut off by something. , and this feeling is very familiar to him.

I remember that when Ska and Lyle just escaped from the wormhole, Lyle also had the same symptoms, but it would return to normal after a few hours.

"He is in good health and has no adverse symptoms." The door of the ward was opened, and Rein and another military doctor walked in. While entering the door, the military doctor was still talking. Lyle on the bed, the military doctor sighed and said, "It's just for unknown reasons, he hasn't woken up."

Didn't wake up?

Lyle felt strange, isn't he awake?Why did the military doctor still point to him and say that he didn't wake up?

Strange Lyle turned his gaze to Scar, and Scar was looking at him, his beautiful red eyes blinked, but he was really looking at Lyle, and when Lyle blinked, Scar blinked too Eye.

Then Lyle began to feel that something was wrong. He found that he hadn't woken up, because his body couldn't move, his limbs and head couldn't move. In fact, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and his eyes didn't open at all, but he But you can "see" everything around you.

If I had to describe it, it was actually a bit like an out-of-body experience. His perception was out of his body, and he was observing everything around him from a strange perspective. Others couldn't see him, but Scar could.

Only Scar can see him.

……

The Zerg in Rain's ship has not been completely expelled, because the ship's defense net was accidentally released before, causing several of the bugs outside to climb into the spaceship without anyone noticing. The interior of the ship, so the alliance soldiers in the ship are hurrying to search the entire ship, trying to find out the few bugs that got in.

On the other side, several soldiers lifted up Alice's body, and according to the military doctor's order, they sent the body to the refrigerator for storage.The military doctors decided to deal with the sterile room and the wounded doctors in the sterile room first. After dealing with these things, they had to bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

After all these things came to an end, they would go to dissect Alice's body, so Alice's body was sent to the cabinet in the cold room, the kind of drawer-style long cabinet specially placed for corpses.

The soldiers put the corpses in the cabinet casually, stuffed them in, and then left one after another. Usually, no one came to a place like the corpse freezer. There was nothing to see in it except corpses. For the Union Army who was always on the verge of life and death The dead are the least of all things to fear.

So Alice was lying there alone, and then after an unknowingly long time, the cabinet in the refrigerator suddenly opened by itself.

Yes, it opened by itself!

Alice, who was lying inside, pushed the drawer of the cabinet open with all her strength, turned over inside, then crawled out, and slipped and fell to the ground.When she landed, her body made a heavy sound, but the cold room was empty, and no one noticed the horrifying scene.

Alice lay on the ground for a long time, and then she got up and stood up slowly. The clothes on her body were still stained with blood, but her blood had solidified and would never flow all over the floor again.

If there were people in this cold room, they would definitely find that Alice really didn't look like a living person at this moment. Her skin was still pale or even blue, without the slightest trace of blood. Her standing posture was very distorted, her head and His hands were hanging down limply, and he staggered when he walked, a bit like a walking corpse.

Like a walking corpse, Alice staggered to the door of the cold room, but the door of the cold room was closed and locked tightly, and Alice couldn't open it. She lowered her head and seemed to be staring at the door lock. .

I don't know how long it has passed, the door of the refrigerator suddenly vibrated, it was the kind of vibration that was hit by some powerful force from the outside, something was hitting the door of the refrigerator, and the door did not It was as tenacious as imagined, and was soon deformed by the impact.

Alice was still standing at the door, and she seemed to be waiting.

Her waiting paid off. The door of the cold storage room was finally knocked open, or directly opened. A pair of sharp claws penetrated the door panel, stuck the door crack, and pulled the entire metal door directly from the door frame. Picked it off, and threw the door panel on the floor casually.

It was a Zerg that opened the door.

It is true that a lot of bugs have mixed in on the warship, and many soldiers are hurrying to disperse them. It stands to reason that although these bugs are very smart, they are not as intelligent as humans, but for some reason, these bugs seem to be particularly cunning. Although they They are huge, but they hide very flexibly. They will even destroy the surveillance on the ship to avoid the sight of the soldiers.

The soldiers didn't notice this at first, but when the surveillance cameras were removed one by one and the patrolling soldiers lost contact one by one, the Union Army realized that something was wrong.

But even if found, there seems to be no better way to deal with them.

The purpose of the bugs is no longer to eat people, such as the one in front of Alice, it just destroyed the door panel, allowing Alice to stagger out from inside, and Alice came out like this, from the refrigerator. Went to the aisle outside.

Then the Zerg next to it seemed to make a strange roar at Alice. It was roaring with a big mouth, but it didn't make any sound, or it was a sound that the human sensory system could not hear.

But this sound was heard by Lyle who was lying on the hospital bed at this moment, unable to move. He heard the voice of the Zerg, and he even understood the meaning of the roar of the Zerg!

Yes, he understood, he understood the words of the bugs, he knew that the roar was calling for retreat, to the effect that he had found the queen and made all the other bugs retreat.

The roaring bug then stretched out its sharp claws, it carefully hooked Alice's waist, put her gently in his arms, then shook its wings, and climbed up the wall of the passage The ceiling began to move rapidly, and it took Alice and disappeared into this passage in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, all the Zergs in the ship who caught the roar also started to retreat at the same time. They rushed past the human beings, but turned a blind eye to these terrified and delicious soldiers. They found breakthrough points from various places, and collectively Jumping out of the ship, these creatures are very powerful, once they want to escape, no one can stop them.

So in the end, Rain only received the news that the Zergs were all expelled, or that they all fled.

The refugees who were released before also disappeared without a trace. At least on this desolate land, there were no traces of those refugees. Only the Union Army, which suffered heavy casualties, was here to clean up the mess.
