Otto became a shadow, committing numerous irreparable mistakes.

Both of them were tragic figures, and this letter was the very source of that tragedy.

"Otto ..."

Kallen hugged Otto, tears streaming down her face.

From God's perspective, she could see Otto's sacrifices and inner turmoil after his death, and her heart ached.

Otto wiped away Kallen's tears with his sleeve. He didn't care at all that his custom-made suit, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, was stained with tears and snot.

"Otto, this is just a story... right?"

Kallen was like a drowning person grasping at a straw, pleading for help from Otto.

Seeing Kallen's pitiful expression, Otto nodded, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

"Of course, Kallen, this is just a story."

Otto was momentarily stunned.

This is just a story...?

"Otto, let's beat up Yaqing when Yaqing gets back to headquarters!"

After a long while, Kallen finally calmed down, her eyes still red and her fists clenched tightly.

Okay~

Otto stroked Kallen's soft white hair, as gently as if he were coaxing a child.

At the same time, he also really wanted to beat Yaqing up.

Even though Yaqing had given him a heads-up and explained the plot to him in general terms.

But how can the general plot you describe compare to the anime right in front of you?

Otto broke down, though he wouldn't admit it, he did.

"Yaqing is getting more and more disobedient as she grows up!"

Kallen pouted. The farewell letter she had just received had made her break down her defenses, and for a moment she forgot that it was just an anime.

Or perhaps, at that moment, she believed that this moment of farewell was truly unfolding in some parallel universe.

Kallen had completely forgotten that she had once said something to Yaqing.

That is: current TV dramas treat the audience like idiots, they have no logic at all, and they don't evoke any tears at all.

"A fledgling bird will always spread its wings and soar into the sky. Only when it encounters setbacks will it remember the teachings of its elders."

Speak like a human.

Kallen pinched Otto's cheek in annoyance.

Otto smiled.

Even if he becomes independent, we are still his elders.

"Um!"

Kallen nodded excitedly and snuggled closer to Otto.

Otto skillfully put his arm around Kallen's slender waist, staring blankly at her flawless face, his turquoise eyes widening in surprise.

"..."

Kallen suddenly felt her cheeks wet and tilted her head back.

But she saw Otto with a complex expression on his face, and the tear stains under his eyes had not yet disappeared. It was the first time she had seen Otto with such an expression, and the first time she had seen Otto shed tears.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, Otto ~, it's just a story, it's all in the past."

The two poles reversed.

When it was Kallen's turn, she wiped away Otto's tears and offered gentle comfort.

Otto hugged Kallen tightly.

"Kallen, can you say something to me..."

Kallen was puzzled, but noticing that Otto's mood was off, she still smiled gently and spoke softly to him.

"Welcome back, my great inventor."

Golden Courtyard.

Kallen's farewell letter is like a tangible knife.

This made Elysia unable to hold back her tears.

"Eden... why can't Kallen and Otto be together? She wouldn't have to die if she had just kept her marriage vows..."

Eden put his arm around Elysia's shoulder.

"Elysia, if Kallen chooses to live, then she will be the one in Otto's heart. Otto knows this clearly, but he is unwilling to give up and unwilling to watch Kallen die."

"Eden said softly."

"But..."

How could Elysia not know this?

She felt the same way as Otto at that time; she didn't want to believe it, nor did she want to watch Kallen die.

"Really..."

Little Knowledge gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears. She would never admit that she would cry, that she would shed tears because of something related to Otto.

"With this plot development, even I'm starting to want to support that bastard Otto."

Little Knowledge gritted his teeth.

Fu Hua nodded.

Love is one of the most unpredictable human emotions.

Some people, because they hate what Otto did, will ignore Otto's 500 years of love, while others, because of Otto's 500 years of perseverance, will choose to help him in his final performance.

"Although it's very untimely, I still want to say that I'm starting to support Otto."

Sakura paused for a moment before speaking.

If she had to choose, she would go through a long period of psychological torment before choosing to resurrect her sister, between saving humanity and reviving her.

The cinema doors were suddenly pushed open.

Kalpas and Su are back.

Having overheard the events unfolding outside, Kalpas let out a cold snort.

"In the end, it was because of his own cowardice. If he had been strong enough to disregard all the rules, Kallen would have died."

Kalpas sat down in the row with Ying and Pardo.

Sue sat down in the row in front of Kevin.

"Kalpas, you can't say that. Kevin is very strong, ridiculously strong, but he still couldn't save Mei's life, could he?"

Sakura said earnestly.

"Cut."

Kalpas scoffed in annoyance.

Kevin, sitting in the back row, had already widened his eyes.

He wondered how he could have been dragged into this when he hadn't said anything.

"Pfft."

Su couldn't help but smile.

"Su, don't laugh. As a doctor, you can't save Mei from her Collapse Disease either."

Su's laughter stopped abruptly when she heard Ying's words.

"Hahaha."

Yaqing finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Yaqing, you wrote a script that made everyone cry, do you have anything to be proud of? People online are even wondering if the screenwriter has some kind of mental illness?"

Yaqing silently lowered her head.

Sakura went completely berserk.

Chapter 476 The Twilight of the Fool.

This week's update ends with Kallen's farewell letter.

The so-called tragedy is the tragedy of Otto and Kallen.

This time, headquarters seems to have lost its mind, releasing three weeks' worth of episodes on April Fool's Day. And after "The Birth of Tragedy," the new chapter is titled...

Twilight of the Fool

Elysia and the others, who were in the front rows, were all getting up to leave the Home Theater after reading Kallen's farewell letter.

"Aren't you going to watch the rest of the show?"

Yaqing suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Elysia stopped pushing the door open and turned her head in disbelief.

"Anything else? Yaqing, have you changed your mind?"

Elysia smiled radiantly and took Eden's hand as they sat back down.

Yaqing sighed silently to herself.

Doesn't he want the story to end abruptly?

By making viewers wait another week in the intermission, the hype and viewership can be better ensured.

But... someone called specifically to request the release all at once, not wanting to endure another two agonizing weeks of waiting to see the final outcome.

He wanted to end the story too!

"The Twilight of the Fool?"

Mobius was the first to notice the set title.

Fool?

Besides Otto, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

"You really hate that Otto isn't dead, don't you?"

Mobius patted Yaqing on the shoulder.

She seemed to already see the end of the story, Otto's death.

"Aren't you afraid Otto will come after you?"

Concerns about Mobius.

Yaqing couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Looking for trouble? Guess why I released the entire story in just one week, even though it could have been covered in three weeks?"

Mobius understood instantly.

"The Twilight of the Fool... Am I finally going to see Otto die?!"

Little Knowledge was excited.

Although she didn't recall that she had just seemed to want to help Otto.

The puppets, aligned with Otto, surrounded the Hyperion. Just as Theresa ordered the Hyperion's main cannon to charge, the puppet Otto suddenly made contact with the Hyperion.

He demanded that all personnel, whether or not they were ordained by Schicksal, remain in place and obey orders, and warned that anyone who left their post without Schicksal would bear the consequences.
