Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Receiving Ebony's letter also made Lyle very happy, but Ebony's warning in the email made Lyle's heart hang a little bit, and he couldn't help adding a bit of vigilance, so the vigilant Lyle couldn't help it. Carefully observe the surrounding environment.

The Puppeteer Academy does not stand on the central planet, but it is still in the central galaxy. It is the farthest and largest planet in the central galaxy, and that planet is named "far star".

Because the distant star is very, very far away from the star, there is no sunshine and warmth, so it is in a state of cold and freezing all year round, and the distant star becomes like a frozen planet, so some people call the distant star frozen star.

The puppeteer training base is established on this icy planet. People believe that extreme conditions can make soldiers stronger, so the puppet masters and puppets trained in such a harsh environment will naturally be stronger.

But according to Lyle's understanding, the reason why the alliance established the puppet master training base on this cold and remote planet is actually to prevent the puppet masters inside from escaping, or to better control and brainwash these young people .

Because the distant stars are very far away from the stars, there is no sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, almost no life can survive on the planet. People who live on the planet must stay indoors all the time, because they will be frozen to death if they go out. .

At the same time, because of the temperature conditions, there is no way to grow crops or raise poultry and livestock on a large scale on the planet, so the source of materials and food can only rely on the material ships that come once a month.

On a planet with such a harsh living environment, there must not be many residents willing to immigrate there, so there is only one puppet master training base on the distant star, which means that this puppet master academy is completely self-enclosed, like an isolated island in a vast ocean. If no one takes the initiative to contact, the isolated island will always be an isolated island.

For Lyle now, the Puppet Master Academy is another huge cage no less than the Hawke family, and it is also a big challenge he will face soon.

At this moment in the Hawke family, I am afraid that there are some people who are not willing to see Lyle go to the puppet master academy, because if Lyle goes, with the degree of closure and the highest security protection of the puppet master academy, it is impossible for Lyle to go to the puppeteer academy. During the year in the academy, no one can hurt Lyle, and he will spend the most closed but safest year in his life.

So if someone in the Hawke family wants to attack Lyle, the time before he leaves the Hawke family and enters the academy is the best opportunity.

It seems that Rein already knew that some people in the family had bad intentions, but Rein didn't care about this. Apart from arranging a few bodyguards for Lyle, he basically didn't express anything else.

So it's all up to Lyle himself.

During the opening period of the Puppet Master Academy, the Puppet Master Academy will send academy spaceships to the planets where the youngsters who have been selected by their spiritual power are located. These academy spaceships will send the selected young people to distant stars, and on the way Responsible for protecting the safety of students.

But before boarding the academy spacecraft, Lyle must first go to the boarding port on the central planet. The central planet has a strict management system, and it is not possible to fly a spaceship directly to take off from any place, so he and Scar must take an aircraft to go there. Embarkation port boarding.

The period of time when the aircraft is heading to the docking port is indeed the most likely period of time to be attacked. Lyle put away the personal terminal in his hand, and Scar, who had been sitting beside him, understood his meaning and subconsciously He reached out and took Lyle's hand.

Lyle looked at the staffing around him. There were three aircraft in total, arranged in a line in sequence and flying neatly at a certain speed.

Lyle and Ska sat on the aircraft in the middle, presenting a protected posture, and the rest of the bodyguards sat on the front and rear planes, and in the aircraft Lyle was sitting on, except for Lyle and others , there is only one driver and another bodyguard.

Although Rein said that he had arranged bodyguards for Lyle, these bodyguards were actually ordinary Union soldiers. To put it bluntly, they were like expendable cannon fodder. Although they were assigned a task to protect Lyle, Lyle felt that, The only one who can really protect himself is Scar by his side.

As if to confirm Lyell's idea, the aircraft team suddenly stopped slowly. Seeing that the pilot stopped driving the aircraft and continued to move forward, the bodyguard couldn't help asking, "Why did you stop?"

"There is a traffic accident ahead." The driver of the aircraft replied without turning his head: "It seems that a series of rear-end collisions blocked the road. We have to take a detour."

In this future world, the "aircraft" that people often use are actually equivalent to various vehicles in the old age, except that the aircraft can leave the ground and appear in a suspended state, and can even fly on rough roads and sea areas, but flying It should not be too high, and the height of about three or four meters above the ground is the limit.

There are lanes specially set up for flying aircraft on the central planet, extending in all directions and even in the sea area. There are such lanes. Aircraft can only walk along these lanes. If you violate the rules or deviate from the lane, you will be detained by the "traffic police" and fined a huge amount. , is a criminal act.

Aircraft also have speed limits and traffic lights. The probability of "car accidents" is not much less than that of the old days, but the transportation will be more efficient. People can ride this kind of aircraft in half a day. The north pole of the planet reaches the south pole.

The driver proposed to make a detour, and the bodyguard over there seemed a little dissenting, but he stuck his head out of the window of the aircraft to look at the road ahead. It was indeed crowded with traffic, and the aircraft of the "traffic police" was parked beside him to direct transportation.

So the bodyguard compromised and said, "Let's make a detour."

But something happened during the detour. First, the alarm system of the aircraft suddenly sounded, and an electronic sound prompted: "Warning! This aircraft is locked by missiles! Repeat! This aircraft is locked by missiles!"

The missile locking warning seemed to make everyone stunned for a moment. The driver was the first to react, and suddenly started beating the steering wheel frantically, and speeding up the aircraft, trying to take some countermeasures.

But he was still a step too late.

Before Lyle figured out what happened, Scar suddenly rushed towards Lyle, hugged Lyle quickly and completely, and Scar began to mutate his body surface almost instantly. , he grew wings, and used them to completely cover Lyle.

The aircraft was hit by a missile that flew over from nowhere, and was instantly knocked over a distance of more than ten meters. It began to be torn apart due to the explosion, and scorched aircraft parts were scattered all over the place. At the same time, sparks ignited. The three aircraft Immediately, it was bombarded by a dozen missiles, leaving nothing left.

This event, which is equivalent to a terrorist attack, was staged on the public driveway of the aircraft in a grand manner, and many other aircraft or vehicles around were also affected. Many drivers drove their aircraft desperately trying to stay away from the accident, and the scene began to happen In chaos, the drivers and passengers in some aircraft climbed out of the malfunctioning aircraft, screaming and staggering, trying to flee the scene in a hurry.

The missile attacks stopped soon, and those missiles seemed to be launched from far away, and their targets were locked in the convoy where Lyle was, so the aircraft of Lyle and others were bombed most thoroughly, and the entire aircraft was It fell apart, with charred parts all over the ground.

However, Lyle was not harmed. Scar's action was extraordinary. At the moment when he was bombarded by missiles one after another, he jumped out of the window of the aircraft with Lyle in his arms and jumped a few meters away, while protecting Lyle tightly. .

Lyle felt that Scar was very handsome when he was protecting him, so Lyle couldn't help hugging Scar's back and rubbing his head against his neck.

His Scar was so handsome, Lyle felt that he was going to fall in love with him... no, he was already in love with him.

Although Lyle and Scar were both intact, others were not so lucky, especially those bodyguards. Lyle only saw a few charred bodies lying in the ruins of the aircraft.

At the same time, on the ground not far from Lyle and Ska, there was also a person lying on the ground, that is, the driver of the aircraft that Lyle was on. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, making small and painful groans.

Some people should have called the police at the scene, but Lyle heard sirens and ambulances wailing from far away.

Lyle didn't know if those people would have a second attack. The surrounding crowd was in chaos, with smoke and dust and sparks from the wreckage of the aircraft everywhere. The driver uttered a faint cry for help.

Lyle thought for a while, got out of Scar's arms, and walked over to look at the driver. The driver's leg seemed to be crushed by a large piece of scattered parts from a certain aircraft. He was still alive, but he couldn't earn money. open, so he asked Lyle for help, hoping that Lyle could help him move the large metal part that was holding him down.

Lyle saw a lot of blood pouring from the underside of the driver, a man who appeared to be about 40 years old, his face was pale and he appeared to be dying.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but Lyle, who just wanted to save people, didn't think too much, and soon Lyle ordered Scar to help the driver lift the piece of metal that was holding down his leg. Ska did as he was ordered, and Lyle went over and grabbed the driver by the armpit, trying to drag him out from under the parts.

The driver's leg was crushed out of shape, and the leg bones came out. Lyle looked at it and felt a little unbearable. The movements under his hands were a little faster, but he was dragging someone. A shimmering dagger quickly stabbed Lyle's neck fiercely.

Scar over there was carrying the metal parts, and when he saw this, he threw the things in his hand and rushed towards Lyle.

And Lyle's mind was a little blank at that moment, he didn't think about anything, he just wanted to avoid the blow with all his strength, so he let go of the hand holding the driver's armpit, and quickly took a step back.

The blade held in the driver's hand was staggered and did not poke Lyle's neck, but he cut a knife on his neck, leaving a not very deep knife mark. At that moment, the driver knew that he had failed, so he gave up. He fell down on the ground in response to the attack, and was torn off his head by Scar's claws who rushed forward afterwards.

After killing the driver, Scar changed hands and rushed towards Lyle, and hugged Lyle forcefully.

Then Scar hurriedly tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes, and wrapped Lyle's injured neck around. Fortunately, the incision was not deep, no important blood vessels were injured, and the blood flow was not too much, but This still frightened Scar. If his Lyle had been a step slower at that time, it would not have been just the driver lying here.

At the same time, Lyle could also feel Scar's extremely flustered and terrified emotions.

This is really unprecedented.
