"Dorothy, how have you been all these years?" Kasa squeezed out a smile from the corners of her chapped mouth, "It's nice to see you're okay..."

Kasa tried to reach out to touch Dorothy's face, but as soon as his hand reached midair, he fell heavily, and as his body's vitality decayed, he had completely lost control of the arm.

"Brother, I miss you so much, don't go, stay with me... I don't want to lose you..."

Dorothy held her brother's hand tightly, refusing to let go, even as it was losing its last bit of warmth.

"Little Dorothy, you still love to cry like you did when you were a child," Kasa looked at Dorothy gently, and her voice became more and more weak, "I hurt my parents and you, my brother is sorry for you... But I'm finally free... It's just that the only thing I can't worry about in this world is you..."

"Brother, don't say it, don't say it again. Dorothy cried very sadly, and there was not a single one present who was not moved.

"Over the years, I have always secretly come to see you whenever you have a birthday, you shouldn't have noticed," Kasa said slowly, "If it weren't for the impulsive and irreparable things I did when I was a child, my parents would not have been persecuted to death by the local gentry, I am afraid to see your eyes, and I don't want to break your peaceful life, Dorothy, in fact, I am not worthy of being your brother..."

"No, it's their fault, it has nothing to do with you, brother, you are my brother, my only brother. ”

"I'm sorry, Dorothy, I can't continue to protect you in the future, I have to live strong..."

The red heart A on the side clenched her fists, she was suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and finally, she wiped the tears from her face and walked towards the golden eagle on the cliff and green land without saying a word.

"A, where are you going?"

Kasa's faint voice came from the crowd, and the ace of hearts stopped.

"I won't let you die, I'm going to get you back. ”

The cold voice of the Ace of Hearts trembled a little, like a river of magma flowing slowly under the glacier.

"No need, A, it's too late, even if you find me, I'm already lacking in skills, my own body is already crippled, there's no need to make useless efforts," Kasa's voice was very soft, it was a kind of calmness in the face of death, "Stay, listen to what I have to say, okay?"

"Did you stay alone in the Sea Tower?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why don't you tell us the truth, why lie to us?"

"There are some things I have to do myself, and you don't have to die for someone who can't be saved. ”

"What are you talking about?!We're partners!" Ace of Hearts turned around angrily, her cheeks already full of tears.

"As long as there are a few of you here, the 'Joker Magic' will still be the trump card of Carlo, and it's time for me to atone for my sins. ”

The sound of the bullet being loaded sounded quietly in the dark night after the crowd, and the hat on the pressure was pressed, and a man with a blue face lifted the trench coat on his body, and walked silently towards the hillside below the cliff.

"Q, stop! I told you not to save me, so hard that you still don't understand?"

Everyone's eyes looked in the direction of Kasama's gaze, and they saw that Q, who was holding the "Viper" revolver, was silently trying to go to the Sea Prison by boat alone, and he wanted to rescue his boss.

When Q heard Kasa's scolding, he only paused slightly, and then continued to walk deeper into the woods as if no one was around, his steps were firm and powerful, and he had lost his mind a little, completely ignoring the gunshot wound on his body.

"Q, stop, are you going to disobey my orders?"

"I said I wanted to retire together and buy an island to spend my old age in peace, I can't leave you there alone, boss, I'm sorry, this time I'm going to disobey. ”

Seeing the back of square Q disappear little by little, Kasa, who lost his mobility, had to turn to the old man Guston on the side for help.

"Mr. Guston, excuse me, don't let him do anything stupid. ”

"Hey. ”

Guston let out a long sigh, then shook the kerosene lamp in his hand, and a warm green light came out of the lampshade, and then the big tree in the woods not far away seemed to suddenly come to life, and actually moved on its own.

Before Block Q, who was walking down the hill by himself, could react, two green vines suddenly emerged from between the grass and trees, and they tightly wrapped the two arms of Block Q, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free, and at this moment, many old trees nearby imprisoned him in it like wooden barrels.

The power of magic quickly caused Q to give up his resistance, his eyes reddening, and he stared painfully at the looming black tower in the distance, where his companion was located, and Q might never be seen again.

Completely in despair, Q let go of his grip on the Viper, and he knelt down in distraction with his eyes facing the sea realm.

"Boss... Boss..."

After a while, two owls flew out of the woods, both clutching a revolver in their talons, which belonged to the block Q.

Guston shook his head at the two Viper pistols, and the two revolvers turned into two white doves of peace, which hovered over people's heads for a moment, and then flew head-on towards a crescent moon in the night sky without looking back.

"Thank you. Kasa bowed slightly at Guston.

"Hmm. ”

Guston placed the kerosene lamp in his hand on the grass bed, the warm light made Kasa feel more comfortable, and then he looked at the nuns gathered nearby.

"Friends of the Rhine Abbey, please come here, my little attic, although not very large, is large enough to contain you for a little rest. ”

Guston glanced back at Kasa on the grass bed.

"Mr. Kasa, there's only so much I can do for you, and as for your body, there's nothing I can do. ”

"Mr. Guston, as a junior, Kasa is grateful. ”

"What happened recently in the imperial capital, the owl told me something, I have deep sympathy for the plight of the 'Rhine Monastery', these nuns I will personally send them to sea safely, you don't have to worry about their safety," Gustone waved his hand, and from his side to the old-fashioned attic, a path of light composed of many fireflies immediately lit up, guiding the way of the nuns, "If you have anything to say to your relatives and friends around you, please hurry up as soon as possible, thank you for the help you have given me, Mr. Kasa, please go all the way." ”

With a sad look on his face, Guston folded his hands behind his back and followed the nuns towards the attic, while the "little lights" of fireflies gradually went out behind him.

The lonely wind blew from the far blue sea, and under the thick acacia trees were only Hat, Dorothy, Ace of Hearts, and the Q of the cube returning from the woods, and his face was full of despair.

The pink fan-shaped flowers suddenly fell, and the golden eagle looked at these former companions, as an animal, it also felt the grief of the passing of life, and the crystal liquid overflowed from the corners of its eyes, perhaps with its mind, it did not realize that the thing that made it feel "sad" was called "tears".

"I have nothing left to be nostalgic for this miserable world, I don't have many friends, and it's just a few of you. ”

Kasa was already having trouble moving his neck, and the line below his neck was "papering" a little bit, and the lines of the paper had begun to appear on his skin.

"A, can you hear me," Kasa called softly, "my ears are losing hearing..."

"Boss, I'm here... I'm here..."Ace of Hearts stubbornly wiped the tears from her face, and she forced the tears from her eyes to come to Kasa's side, "If you have anything to say, just say it... A: Listen..."

"I thought you were secretly drinking again—" The corners of Kasa's mouth twitched, and it was the best smile he could make.

"No, never again..."

When the ace of hearts was crying, Kasa suddenly interrupted her and continued to say something, it seemed that his hearing was already very badly missing, and as for what the ace of hearts said, it was difficult for him to hear.

"Guys... I'll leave it to you... Protect well... They... Some words can no longer be... I can't say anything to you... You... You want to be happy..."

"Kasa... I... Love..."The Ace of Hearts burst into tears instantly, her voice seemed to be choked, and the feelings hidden in her heart were suppressed by her fiercely when she broke out, "I... Yes. ”

Nodding in satisfaction, Kasa roughly understood the meaning of the ace of hearts.

"Q, so... K, please... He's still a kid... Give him more tolerance... And Master J, if you encounter danger again... Task... Let's let him stay in Claude Carlo... Tell the Reekton Branch President... Kasa can't drink his peach blossom wine... But seriously, that stuff doesn't taste good..."

Gasa's parting words made Q's eyes moisten, and he seemed to cry and laugh, just nodding his head vigorously, and then took off his hat and covered his face tightly.

"Dorothy..."

"I'm here, brother!" Dorothy held Lisa's unconscious hands in her arms.

"Your seventeenth birthday... It's almost there... Let me think... What gift do I want to give you... It's better..."Kasa's consciousness gradually blurred, "I only have... This one..."

Kasa's pocket suddenly moved, and a paper crane flew out of it and landed in front of Dorothy.

"When I was a kid... What you taught me... Remember..."

"Remember... I remember... Brother—" Dorothy's voice choked in her throat.

In the end, Kasa's mouth only opened and closed slightly, and the sound he made was extremely small.

"I love you, brother. ”

Dorothy knew that Kasa couldn't hear herself, so she said what was in her heart with a trembling mouth, but her chin was already covered with tears.

"I... I also... Love ......"

"Love you, sister... Sister..."

Like the beak under the acacia tree, outside the frame, the figure in the upper echelons of the Sea Boundary Tower speaks the unfinished words of the Kasa.

In the black tower in the middle of the Sea Boundary Prison, a thousand paper cranes with a fire at the tail flew in front of the figure, a face full of blood and dust, with a peaceful smile, the man's mouth coughed up a large pool of blood, and before the swollen eyes lost their last brilliance, the bloodied man saw the burning paper cranes flying into the pile of paper cranes beside him.

His eyes were completely covered with a layer of gray, and the kerosene lamp on the grass bed turned into a wisp of white smoke after a few shakes and went out.

"Brother, are you leaving... Brother..."

Dorothy held Kasa's "corpse" in her arms, but Kasa's body slowly lost its human form, and the paper puppet transformed into a thousand paper cranes flying in the surging night wind.

The acacia trees are scattered with fragrant acacia flowers, and the blue sea under the moonlight is dotted with clear light, and thousands of paper cranes fall from the cliffs of the sea, and fly into the depths of the ocean with the wind, where the light dreams of the fish swim.

In the distance, the smoke gradually dissipated, and on the top floor of the dark black Sea Boundary Tower, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the night sky, and the bursting fire blasted half of the Sea Boundary Tower into pieces, and the flames even pushed away the clouds in the sky, reflecting the imperial capital red.

One of the most dazzling "fireworks" in the "Wanbang Lantern Festival" bloomed in the night sky, and even the entire imperial capital trembled.
