On the occasion of collapse

Thinking of this possibility, Otto shook his head and told himself not to have such unrealistic hopes.

With a slight exertion on the hand, the door was slowly pushed open...

Back in time a few minutes ago.

"Buzz..." In the dilapidated house, a black vortex appeared in the center, and then, a woman in a white dress slowly walked out.

"Ta." The tip of her toe kicked the jars scattered on the floor in the room. The woman frowned and bent down to pick up the jars.

Looking at the jar in her hand that had obviously been there for a long time, the woman frowned.

Raising her head, the woman looked around her surroundings.

There was a thick layer of dust all over the room, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.

There were two obvious footprints where the woman was standing.

Looking at the house without any trace of life, the woman put the jar in her hand on the dusty table aside.

"Strange, have Otto and Karen moved away?" The woman thought with some confusion, smelling the unpleasant smell in the air.

The woman left An's side and came back to look for Kallen and Otto's Poria.

Naturally, her first stop was this home.

But unfortunately, she seemed to have missed the mark.

Looking at the dusty ground, Fu Ling felt that she had no idea where to start.

"Let's clean it up a little." After thinking for a moment, Fu Ling raised her hand, and a gust of wind gathered in the center of her palm and slowly spread to all sides.

"Hoo!" Waves of tiny whirlwinds blew in the house, and Poria calmly formed a wall of wind in front of her to block the dust.

"Crash!" Maybe it was because Poria cocos forgot to control its strength, or maybe it was because the vase had been left there for too long, and it fell to the ground with just a slight blow from the wind, falling into pieces.

Hearing the sound, Fu Ling also knew that she must have broken something.

"...It seems I didn't use any strength." She said helplessly, and Fu Ling felt that she probably didn't use much strength.

perhaps......

"Squeak." The door that had not been opened for many years was slowly pushed open. Otto looked at the dust flying all over the room and was stunned for a moment.

So, what is the situation?

Chapter 398: Is she really sad?

The sound of the door opening was naturally noticed by Fu Ling. She looked towards the direction of the door and saw the blurry figure.

"Otto?" She shouted in an uncertain tone. Fu Ling did not deliberately feel who was coming, but simply thought that it should be Otto.

Otto, who was standing at the door hesitating whether to enter, froze when he heard this familiar voice.

He had not heard this voice for 16 years.

"...Ah, Sister Fuling, it's me." Clenching his fists, Otto watched as the dust in front of him flew out of the windows on both sides as if controlled by something, and was carried away by the wind. .

And he finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Long time no see, Otto, you seem to be more mature." The woman with the same appearance as she did 16 years ago stood there and said in a tone familiar to Otto.

"...People always grow up." Trying to control his emotions, Otto didn't want Fuling to know about Kallen now.

"That's right, ah, by the way, have you moved from here? It seems to me that no one has lived here for a long time." Poria asked with some doubts, thinking of how dusty the ground looked just now.

"Well, that's right. It's been a while since we moved out." Otto said half-truths, hoping that he could deceive Fuling.

He has become very accustomed to deceiving others over the years, and almost no one can spot his lies.

Looking at Otto's gentle smile, Fuling still saw sadness in his eyes.

"So, where's Kallen? It's been a while since you moved away. Where's Kallen?" Fuling caught something that Otto deliberately ignored in his words and asked.

"Karen...Karen, she..." Otto didn't know how to answer. What should he say?Should he tell Fuling that Kallen was dead, or should he continue to try and deceive Fuling?

He didn't know if he could deceive Fu Ling, he really didn't know.

Looking at the silent Otto, Fu Ling already had some guesses.

"Where are the gems I left for you?" Taking a deep breath, Fuling felt that she was mentally prepared to accept the truth.

"Here..." Otto slowly took out the carefully protected gem from his arms, and handed it to Fuling.

"Why didn't you crush it?" Fu Ling didn't take it and just asked lightly.

"Karen hid it." Otto also knew that Fuling had guessed it, but he said in a slightly tired voice.

"...Is this so?" Probably knowing what Kallen was thinking, Fuling looked at this gem that had not been used for more than ten years, and she was in a daze.

"So, is Kallen dead?" Finally, Fu Ling asked this question, knowing that this was an unavoidable topic.

Instead of escaping, it's better to face it sooner.

"Well, it was the second year after you left, Sister Fuling." Otto said slowly, as if he was recalling the scene that year.

"It was me, it was me who killed Kallen. If I hadn't released the Honkaimon, Kallen might not have..." Speaking slowly, Otto seemed to have returned to the nightmare of that day again. .

This nightmare has plagued him for 16 years. During these 16 years, whenever he closed his eyes, he would see Kallen being pierced by sharp thorns.

The shocking wounds and the blood all over the floor reminded Otto of what exactly happened that day.

"Otto, raise your head." Looking at Otto's appearance, Fuling didn't say anything, just asked him to raise his head.

Hearing Fu Ling's voice, Otto raised his head hesitantly, and then felt a warm hand caressing his head.

"You must have been sad for so many years, right? Otto, it's not your fault, so you don't need to blame yourself." Fuling did not blame Otto for giving the gem to Kallen, nor did she blame Otto for not protecting him Good Karen.

This was her negligence. She forgot that Otto always listened to Kallen. She forgot Kallen's willfulness and Kallen's integrity.

Looking blankly at the Poria cocos in front of him, Otto's grievances and fears over the years seemed to have found a place to vent, and they rushed out.

He has been thinking, what will happen if Sister Fuling comes back one day in the future and knows that he failed to protect Kallen?

He thought that Fu Ling would scold him, take action against him, and call him incompetent.

He thought about all kinds of terrible possibilities, but the fact was that Fuling just said lightly that it was not his fault.

He had always felt that it was his fault, that he had killed Kallen, but now, Kallen and the people closest to him said it.

It's not his fault.

"But it was because I released Honkaimon that Kallen risked her life to protect the civilians, and that's why she died at the hands of Honkaimon." There were tears in Otto's eyes, but he controlled not to let them fall. .

Looking at Otto's look, Fu Ling knew that if Otto didn't vent properly, he might go crazy.

"But I believe there is a reason why you released the Honkaiju, right?" She said slowly, although Fu Ling wanted to know what happened, but at the moment, the most important thing was to appease Otto's emotions.

| "Ah, I want to save Kallen. I don't care about the life and death of those people. As long as Kallen can live, as long as Kallen can live..." The body collapsed on the ground, Otto's voice was choked, and he passed Going through those things didn't make him cry again, but now, just a few words from Poria made him feel like crying again.

"I know, I know." She bent down and hugged Otto tenderly. Fu Ling could feel how hard Kallen's death had affected him.

"But why is Kallen unwilling to live even if she is willing to die! Why!?" Otto told Fuling in a puzzled voice, hoping to be comforted.

"Otto, tell me, what exactly happened..." Looking at Otto's tears, Fu Ling closed her eyes and asked slowly.

"Sister Fuling, after you left, the Black Death broke out..."

..........

More than an hour later, Otto leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, holding a towel in his hand and pressing it on his eyes.

The dust in the room has been completely cleaned out by Poria cocos, and it is still clean now.

"So, Kallen would rather die than obey, right?" Sitting opposite Otto, Fu Ling looked at the tired Otto and asked slowly.

"Well, Karen said, living like that is not nobler than death." Otto had calmed down a lot at this time, and his mental state seemed better now.The emotional loss just now really relaxed his tense spirit a lot.

"Is that so, this silly girl." After learning the whole story from Otto's mouth, Fuling didn't know how to evaluate who was right and who was wrong.

Karen was not wrong, she wanted to protect civilians, didn't want to involve her, and wasn't willing to give in.

Otto was not wrong, he just wanted to protect Karen, even if he used all means.

However, Kallen still broke Otto's heart and hurt her after all.

The mood was not as heavy as Fu Ling thought, and Fu Ling could only feel the moderate sadness spreading in her heart.

Is she really sad?

Chapter 399 I’m no longer young, I’ve started to get old

"Sister Fuling, now that you are back, I want to treat you..." Taking away the towel from his eyes, Otto looked at Fuling. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fuling.

"Otto, destiny is your destiny, not mine. I will not help or even manage destiny." Knowing what Otto wanted to say, Fuling rejected Otto without any hesitation.

"Otto, you possess the Key of the First God, and you should have learned about my past from it. Although I have never seen it, I know that it possesses all the data and files of the Fire Chaser Moth. So, you You should also know what my past is like."

"...I understand." Knowing what Fuling meant, Otto also understood what Fuling's position was.

"But, if you just help your younger brother as a sister, it's okay." Looking at Otto's slightly disappointed look, Fuling said slowly.

"Sister Fuling, thank you." Otto didn't say much. In this world, there were almost no people who were bound to him.

From a blood perspective, his father, mother, brothers and sisters are all no longer alive with the death of Lisa.

And the person he cared about most, Karen, also lost her life because of him.

Now, only two remain.

One is Poria in front of him, and the other is Vera who is now in charge of the church.

Other than that, he really didn't care about anyone anymore.

"Now, the new pope has been captured by you. Otto, what are you going to do?" Looking through the house, Fu Ling's eyes fell in the direction of the church, looking at the rebels who had taken control of the situation.

"I plan to take over the destiny and make it into what Kallen wants." Without any hesitation, Otto had already thought about how to take care of the destiny.

He wants to make this dilapidated destiny become what Kallen hopes it will be.

"Is this so?" Fuling didn't know what such a destiny would be like, but maybe it would be wonderful.

"Otto, I'm looking forward to that day, and I will stand by your side to support you. But Otto, you have to remember that you can't always do it for Kallen." Fuling said slowly, saying this talk.

"..." Otto was silent. Similar words were said by Kallen in her last letter.

Advise him to let go and start his own life.

As Fuling said, Otto had indeed learned about Fuling's history as a Fire Chasing Moth warrior from Void Manzang, and he also naturally learned about Fuling's past experience.

"Sister Fuling, you should know that it is not easy to let go." Otto looked at Fuling with very sincere eyes.

"Kalian persuaded me to let go, and you advised me to let go, but Sister Fuling, I can't let go. In 14 years, I haven't been able to let go of Kallen for a day. She said that the world is big and I will always meet a better girl than her. Son." At this point, Otto smiled.

"But Sister Fuling, Kallen is actually wrong. The world is indeed big, but it is not my world. My world from beginning to end is Kallen. And I will never meet a better girl than Kallen. Because Kallen is the best girl." Otto said slowly, looking at Fuling, and said seriously.

"I believe, Sister Fuling, you should be able to understand that one person is my whole world."

"..." Listening to Otto's words quietly, Fu Ling could certainly understand, because in the past, she also regarded one person as her whole world.

"I understand." Nodding, Fu Ling knew how Otto was feeling.

Letting go is not easy, and she knows this all too well.

"So, Sister Fuling, let me continue on. Even if she becomes my obsession, I am willing to do so." As he said that, Otto looked at Fuling.

"Isn't it?"

Looking into Otto's eyes, for a moment, Fu Ling felt that they were very similar.

"..." Instead of answering Otto's words, Fu Ling looked at Otto seriously.

"Otto, have you really thought about it? No matter what the price is, you must do something that is probably impossible to do?" Fuling just sat there casually, but gave Otto a The great pressure brought by trust.

This kind of pressure was different from the pressure he had felt on his father. It was unclear and seemed to be erratic, but it could still be clearly felt.

"I have already thought about it. For a person, 14 years is already half of his life." Otto understood what Fu Ling meant and knew that Fu Ling had guessed what he wanted to do.

"Where is the first stop? In other words, what are you going to do?" Looking at Otto's determined look, Fu Ling knew that she could not stop Otto from doing this.

She could understand Otto.

"I plan to go to China to find immortals." Otto told Fuling directly without hiding anything.

"When?" Fuling did not ask Otto if he knew that Hua was just a warrior left behind by the previous civilization. She knew that Otto would not give up unless he went to find it himself.
