Puppeteer [Interstellar]

"This is the Interstellar Central News Channel."

The holographic three-dimensional newscaster stood on the central stage of the square, with a stiff and exemplary smile, standing upright, looking almost like a robot.

The announcer explained the news to the crowd: "General Rein, who has attracted much attention, went to the distant star to exterminate the insect swarm not long ago, and according to the latest report from the relevant department, they have successfully wiped out all the insects and saved the puppet master. The academy is in the middle of the water."

"General Rein was accidentally injured in this battle, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. The general will stay in the Puppeteer Academy for a period of time to recuperate from his injuries, and help the Academy repair and rebuild the damage caused by the Zerg. The site where the equipment was attacked. At the same time, the alliance is full of doubts about the attack on the Puppet Master Academy by a large number of Zergs, and we will immediately launch a follow-up investigation to thoroughly understand the truth behind the incident.”

"Please pay attention to the next report--"

The interstellar central news channel reported the incident of the puppet master academy being attacked by the zerg with only a few short sentences, which is shockingly short!However, the news that General Rein was injured was mentioned in the report, which immediately set off an uproar on the interstellar network. A group of fans of the general began to cry, shouting at the general that you have worked so hard to defend your home and country!How great is their general who is crazy about amwaying others while going around!How amazing!A well-deserved hero!If you don't like him, who else can you like! ?

If someone is a fan, someone is black, but General Rein can be regarded as a figure at the leadership level of the alliance. Even if he wants to be black, he can't be blatantly black, so all the black people are like playing charades. That's called a watertight, no trace.

It is said that the fans of a certain family are so good at jumping up and down, who will show their presence all day long?A little injury is like the death of a parent. Why don't you join the army if you feel so distressed?

Although they didn't name them, the fans are extremely powerful. They saw the black hen splashing dirty water in the flock of cranes at a glance, and when they caught one, they circled up and sprayed each other. The spraying of each other was endless. Yes, the entire Interstellar network is in full swing.

Different from the hotness on the star network, the situation at the Puppet Master Academy is really miserable and depressed. After the reinforcements brought by Rain, the bugs were probably cleaned up by them, but too many people were injured or died, and the missing people There were also quite a few. In order to facilitate the counting of the number of people, the senior management of the college organized people to bring back all the scattered people, and gathered in the auditorium of the college.

When they gathered, Clarence walked to the confinement room in the college base. This confinement room actually has a little advantage, that is, the walls of the room are very solidly protected. There are no windows and only doors. In order to prevent the people in the confinement room from escaping, There is also a safety energy defense net, which makes the confinement room the safest place after the Zerg invasion. Anyway, the people locked inside will never be in any danger.

Caesar has been kept in the confinement room, one is to prevent him from running around, and the other is because of his fragile physique like a porcelain doll, so they locked him up like a prison.

Since the academy was attacked, the sirens and broadcasts have been ringing outside. Caesar heard it, but no one came to open the door for him to take him out, so he was kept locked inside. He even felt that people outside had given him Forgotten, forgot him inside, and he will remain in the brig until he dies.

This kind of conjecture even shocked him and made him tremble all over, but Caesar soon calmed down and kept reassuring himself that nothing would happen.

Caesar's patience made him finally wait for the savior. Clarence found him and opened the door of the confinement room for Caesar. After entering, Clarence looked carefully at Caesar and asked, "You are the one A student with S-level mental strength who was expelled?"

Caesar nodded and replied politely: "...Yes."

"Lyle entrusted you to me." Clarence deliberately made things difficult for him, and put on an arrogant look, "I really made a mess for me."

Caesar was also obsessed with the fact that he always made trouble for others. After hearing what Clarence said, he couldn't help but feel guilty and embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry sir, if you feel troublesome If so, I also..."

"Needless to say." Clarence interrupted him immediately, satisfied with Caesar's humble attitude, "I can accept your people, and you will become a member of the Alliance Research Institute from now on, and you can follow I will be my assistant by my side, and I will teach you...all the knowledge and techniques I can teach you, give you a safe haven, and you will have enough rights and money, and you can get everything you want. "

Caesar was very happy when he heard Clarence's words, and immediately looked up at Clarence, his eyes were shining, even Clarence's old wrinkled face seemed to be shining in his eyes For the statue of Jesus of Shengguang, Caesar immediately replied respectfully: "Thank you sir, I will definitely repay you well!"

Clarence said, "Don't thank me, I still have a request."

"You have an S-level mental power, no accident, you have unlimited possibilities in the future, your talent superior to others made you feel like you were opened several windows by God at the beginning, the old man not only opened windows for you The door is still open for you, as long as you are not lazy, you can break out of your own world no matter how you climb or walk."

Clarence continued: "But no matter what kind of talent you have, cultivating a qualified genius requires time, money, and energy. I provide you with these things today, and you must pay back in the future."

Caesar understood what he meant, quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, as long as I can do it in return..."

"I don't ask you to pay much in return." Clarence said directly: "I am the elder of the Alliance Research Institute, and I am directly loyal to General Rein, but from today, Rein is no longer my only object of allegiance. ...or rather, I will no longer be loyal to him."

Caesar froze for a moment when he heard these words. Of course Caesar is not stupid. He naturally knows what kind of terrifying and great figure Rein is in the league, and Clarence beside Rein has always been his right hand Assistant, such a person, publicly said in front of him today that he would no longer be loyal to Lei Yin, it was like blatantly saying in front of others: I want to quit!I'm going to betray my boss!

So Caesar was shocked at the time.

His shock was seen by Clarence. The old man smiled slyly and said, "From today onwards, I will be a follower of 'Lyle Hawke', and I ask you...to also be his loyal follower." Second's follower, all your energy, all your abilities, and everything you can contribute must be provided to him. After my death, you will also take my place and still stand behind Lyle Hawke. "

Caesar seemed to understand something: "I see, what do you mean, do you want Lyle to take the place of his father Rein?"

"Yes, that's it," Clarence admitted boldly.

Caesar felt his lips were dry, couldn't help licking them, and swallowed: "Do you trust me so much? You told me all these things as soon as we met..."

"It's not that I trust you, but that you have no choice, Caesar." Clarence stood up straight. The old man was actually quite tall. After he straightened, Caesar had to look up to him.

Clarence said: "If you don't agree today, I will kill you here."

……

There are many cages for golems in the puppet reserved area, and now Clarence called someone to move one of them, and moved it into Lyle's bedroom. Scar was closed in the cage, and Scarta squatted. Inside the iron cage, through the iron railings and the energy defense net, staring at a pair of blood-red to black eyes, he stared at Arista who was guarding him outside without blinking.

Arista felt uncomfortable being looked at by Scar, and was also a little scared.

After all, guarding a mad puppet is indeed a worrying thing.

At that time, Lyle met Arista in the ward and called him for help, asking Arista to retrieve his golem.Arista originally thought that this was actually a very simple matter, but when Arista called a companion and found Lyle's puppet at the location that Lyle explained, they found that the puppet was actually manic. !

Yes, that was an obvious state of mania. Scar had already mutated at that time, and even his face was covered with scales of Zerg.Unknowingly, Scar pulled out a hiding Zerg from there, tearing apart the Zerg's body and squatting on it to feast on it, scaring Arista and his companion enough.Especially when the manic puppet saw them, facing Scar's sharp claws, Arista and the others even thought they were going to be killed.

But in the end, it didn’t. The puppet jumped off the worm’s body, grabbed Arista and kept calling Lyle’s name.

He yelled very maniacally, howling as he yelled, his expression ferocious and crazy, giving people the feeling that he couldn't maintain his sanity at all, but he was desperately trying to maintain his sanity.

This is natural, even Lyle can't keep his mind, how can he keep his mind?

A puppet that cannot maintain its sanity is quite dangerous, but at that time, Arista could not leave Scar there and ignore it, otherwise the crazy puppet would only cause a greater threat to others, and Scar at that time It seemed that they managed to maintain a little sanity without hurting anyone, so they took Scar back.

However, after taking it back, Arista did not find Lyle in the ward, but ran into Clarence instead.

Clarence immediately took over Scar, asked someone to put Scar in a cage, and then took Arista to find Lyle.

As soon as Clarence saw Scar's appearance at that time, he knew that something had happened to Lyle.

With Lal's terrifying, crazily consumed and cathartic level of mental power, even Lyle's puppet has fallen into a state of mania, so it is absolutely impossible for Lyle himself to remain rational.It would be fine if he could take the initiative to stop this terrible consumption in the end, but if he didn't, then he would end up becoming just as crazy as Rain.

So Clarence made a decisive decision. Fortunately, he had already thought of a way to break the illusion air wall created by the "mental pressure" that Lyle imposed on him, but when he rushed over with Arista, he still came. One step late.
