Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Even though Scar will absolutely obey Lyle's orders, but in such a situation where there are dangers and bugs running around everywhere, Scar dare not leave Lyle where he is to rescue Al, but if he wants to bring Lyle Er, Iska's speed may not be able to catch up, because they are too far away from Al, and Al is standing at such a high place.

The bug behind Al was crawling fast, if Scar couldn't arrive before the bug killed Al, then the so-called rescue would be meaningless.

When Scar took a moment to focus on his master Lyle, he found that Lyle was concentrating on his brother's situation. Scar knew that for Lyle Said, that person is too important, he is almost the pillar that supports Lyle from this terrible life, and also the protector who allows Lyle to live smoothly to this day, and his meaning to Lyle is different.

This kind of unreserved trust and attention once made Scar quite jealous.

Although Scar knows that Lyle Escal and Ai Er are two completely different feelings, and there is no need for Scar to be concerned about this and compare them, but Scar just can't bear it.

Although he couldn't bear it, Scar still acted. Instead of rushing up immediately according to Lyle's order, he first bent his knees and arched his back to make Zerg wings grow on his back. The bonus of having wings will make him faster. More than double the previous one.

In the process of growing wings, Scar took advantage of the opportunity to glance at the surrounding environment with his own senses, and after confirming that there was nothing around that could threaten his Lyle, he soared into the air like a spring and headed over there Al galloped away.

Al, who was standing on the high bridge, seemed to have noticed Scar's approaching rapidly, but he just glanced at Scar, and then continued to focus on looking at the place far away. on his own brother.

The two brothers looked at each other like this, separated by a long distance, but their eyes seemed to penetrate the fog and connect with each other.

The inside of the dock was extremely cold, and the cold air seeping in from outside the damaged skylight gradually eroded this large and empty space.It seems that it is snowing on the distant star, because some snowflakes also float in from the outside along the skylight, and the crystal clear flying catkins are blown by the wind randomly, swirling in mid-air, and the snowflakes float past one by one Al's side, the protective suit that fell on him, blurred the glass lens on his helmet, and even blurred Al's vision.

Time seems to have become stagnant at this moment, and all the sounds between the world and the earth seem to be shielded, everything has become quiet, you can't hear the hissing and howling of the bugs, the sound of climbing around, and you can't hear those who stick to it. The voices of the soldiers fighting against the bugs, Al couldn't even hear his own heartbeat and breathing.

In his frozen eyes, he could only see Lyle, standing so far away, looking up at each other.

Al and Lyle are brothers.

Although many people don't think so.

A long time ago, when they were very young, when they were still in the Hawke family, Al was told by everyone around him, they said: "You are the future of the Hawke family" "You are the future of the Hawke family." Rein's most important child" "You'll be better than anyone" "You've got to be better than anyone"... and all that kind of stuff, these things have been affecting Al, who for a while seems to be Affected by these languages, he became a little arrogant. He felt that he was indeed very good and powerful, and no one else could compare to him.

Until he found out that Lyle could easily overtake him.

When he discovered this, Al was actually very jealous and hated Lyle, his heart was full of those dark thoughts, full of disgust and disdain for Lyle, that was the most twisted moment for him, when he was surrounded by his mother When Xie Liya completely controlled himself and changed all original intentions and principles, he found himself becoming a hateful and abominable person. He became unimaginably vicious, and he was afraid of such a self.

Why is it me?

Al often thinks this way, when he is restrained by his mother and cannot do what he likes to do, when all his interests and hobbies are restricted and obliterated by rules, he looks at the free Lyle outside the window, and he will feel jealous in his heart , I would also feel disgusted, and I would be extremely puzzled, why is it him?

So Al at that time opened the window and let Lyle in.

He actually brought Lyle in with very dark thoughts. He wanted Lyle to enter his life. He wanted to extend the darkness of the family to Lyle. He even hoped that Lyle could become Like him, he is also not free and happy, and is forever bound by this kind of malice.

So at that time, Al was really bad. He was dissatisfied with others living better than him, so he wanted to drag Lyle into the water, wishing that Lyle was as bad as him.

It's just that what Al never expected was that his darkness failed to erode Lyle, but the light on Lyle's body illuminated him brightly.

That is really a warm light, the only light that can give Al a warm light in this dark world, Al is like a person who has walked in the ice and snow for too long and encountered flames when he was numb, like a hunger and thirst When he was dying, he got the nectar that continued his life.So Al was not his opponent at all, so he surrendered in an instant, so he guarded Lyle. He guarded the only bright fire in this endless night sky, and he hoped that this fire could burn forever.

Even though the darkness that has been entangled in Al is always whispering to him, the voice in the darkness tells him: "Kill him, put out that fire, it's too dazzling and hot, it will burn you all."

"Brother, do you know? I have never been paid attention to in the family before. Everyone can spurn me and ignore me, but only you are willing to accept me." Lyle lay on Al's desk with a sunny smile on his face , he said to Al, "You are like a light to me, that kind... a flame burning in the darkness, the only flame that can guide me."

"So...brother, I will protect you."

"I will help you fulfill your wishes. Your happiness is my happiness. I will be your strong arm in your future life."

Why me?

Al always asks like this, he keeps asking, he asks himself, the world, and the air, but he can’t ask Lyle who wants to ask the most, why me?Why choose me?

I'm so useless, so incompetent, so weak, so useless, but why is it me?

I am not the light, you are.

In this world, there is an existence that can always redeem me, an existence that can always tell me the direction in the dark, and an existence that can always illuminate my existence.

Obviously it's you.

……

Halleck's black puppet has been hiding in the corner silently waiting for the opportunity. This black puppet has undergone special training and also carries a high-tech device that hides its breath, which led to the black puppet He is elusive and has amazing stealth ability. Ordinary bugs can't detect his existence at all, and even Lyle's Scar can't perceive him.

Lyle's mental detection ability is good, but now Lyle's attention is completely on his brother Al, and he didn't realize that a golem full of killing intent was following behind him.

When the black-clothed puppet saw Lyle ordering his family Scarfly to save his brother, he knew his chance had come. Killing a human was not easy for the puppet. Without the protection of the puppet, the fragile puppeteer It is not much different from those ordinary humans, and it is an existence that can be easily wiped out with just one claw.

However, the puppet in black was very cautious. He made sure that Lyle's ska had flown a relatively long distance before he started to do it. The dusty little spaceship popped up from behind and approached Lyall slowly, making no sound at all.

Naturally, Lyle wouldn't notice him, but Al standing on a high place could see him from that angle. Al could see Halleck's black puppet standing not far behind Lyle. , still holding his blade in his hand.

Al couldn't help taking a step forward, walked to the edge of the iron bridge, and grabbed the railing of the iron bridge with one hand. The place he was in was too far away, and the entire dock was full of bugs and human beings. Mixed noises, he knew Lyle couldn't hear him even if he shouted.

He couldn't give him any warning, maybe today, he will just watch Lyle die, and watch the spectacular fire being extinguished in the darkness.

The voice in the darkness was still whispering in Al's ear, with a soft tone: "What's so sad? Isn't this very good? You have completed your task, you are excellent, you are excellent Al Bill Hawk, no one can surpass you, you are the only one."

"The only one..." Al also followed the voice and said to himself, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and he seemed to remember something far away.

Al said, "I am the only flame in this darkness."

"Flame?" The dark voice seemed to have some doubts, and he denied: "No, you are not Flame, you are Al Hawk, the excellent Al Hawk."

"I am the flame." Ellie ignored the dark voice, and was still repeating the words calmly. He stood on the bridge, holding the railing tightly with one hand. He held it too tightly, and the glove His knuckles turned white, but he kept repeating, he was fighting against something, he was declaring war, he kept repeating this sentence——

"I am the flame...the only flame in Lyle's heart."
