Overturned Tower

The stirring emotions in his heart made the humming in his head louder and louder.

finally-

For a moment, the blue song robin's face suddenly cracked.

"what…"

The barber couldn't help covering his left eye, stopped, and groaned in pain.

The intense pain made the nerves in his eyes pulsate.

"-What's wrong?"

At the first moment, Morgan heard his screams.

Although her tears hadn't been wiped dry, her eyes were blurred and red and swollen... But she still wiped her face, immediately grabbed the barber's left arm, and forcefully moved his arm The arm looked at what he was blocking.

I saw that the barber's face was like broken porcelain...

On the left side of his face, a crack about five centimeters long burst out from his forehead to his cheekbone.

The azure left eye lost its expression, became dim, and shattered like glass.

A beam of pale flame surged out from the shattered pupil.

And when Morgan moved the barber's left hand away, she saw the pale flame.

At that moment, there seemed to be a voice in my heart:

"You have the talent of a bird, Fila."

A childish voice sounded.

Who is that?

"What is the talent of Asuka?"

The next moment, a familiar voice sounded—

She recognized at once that it was Phila, who was thirteen or fourteen years old.

Ah, so it was my voice...

"That is to say... as long as you give up the things on the ground, sooner or later you will fly to the sky.

"But I'm different. I can only run on the ground...but I will try my best to chase in your direction."

"...Then I won't fly."

"You want to fly!"

"I do not!"

"Why are you so unmotivated—"

"I don't know any other birds, I only know you. If I fly away, I will have no friends."

Through her blurred vision, she seemed to hear the voice of the stubborn boy in the past: "If I can't fly with you...I won't fly."

...Where is it that you 'have no friends'?

Wherever you are, you will have many friends... It's just that I will have no friends.

But now, I would rather you fly away...fly away safely...

"-godfather?"

The vigilant voice of the lone wolf ahead sounded: "What's wrong?"

He seemed to hear the godfather's painful muffled sound, and pulled Big to stop.

"fine…"

The barber raised his voice: "Just keep going. Don't get too far away from us."

"What the hell..."

"-we know!"

Lone Wolf wanted to ask more clearly, but Bigger's louder voice immediately covered him: "Let's go ahead and check the road conditions first!"

Afterwards, he dragged the lone wolf further ahead.

After the mood gradually calmed down, the crack marks on the barber's face healed quietly.

Looking at Morgan, the barber's expression became inexplicably complicated.

…Morgan even wanted to laugh.

Although she did not know "The Godfather", she was very familiar with the blue robin.

His expression now is exactly the same as when he said something in front of himself, "I'll find a way to get you some money".

"...do you have a wish, Ms. Morgan?"

At some point, he replaced "Miss" with "Ms."

And such a title made Morgan secretly happy.

She thought about it seriously.

"It's gone..."

While wiping away tears, Morgan smiled easily: "I am very satisfied to be able to walk with him under the moon.

"Knowing that he was thinking of me until the day he died...I feel blessed."

"...other than that?"

The barber asked earnestly, "Do you have any wishes to achieve?"

"Is everything okay?"

"Well, it's okay if you can't finish it."

"...It's not that difficult. It's just that it's impossible this time."

Morgan smiled embarrassedly: "I just wanted to...

"I can lie down in a sunny place in a warm home.

"Feeling the warmth of the sun, falling asleep slowly, and dreaming about him... I can be satisfied with just this. I don't expect anything else."

Such a simple wish.

But this is so difficult to achieve.

As long as she gave up her revenge and could accept herself quietly disappearing into reincarnation alone, she could indeed do so.

But she doesn't want to give up.

Maybe eventually when she's completely worn out, tired...she'll take the poison and sleep in the sun.

——Until the end, she was unwilling to let her cause of death become "killed by Kamalthe".

If it is really impossible to change all this, at least she has to choose her own end

Way.

"That's my last wish."

she emphasized.

"I accept it. This wish."

The barber nodded slowly.

The expression is like asking about your own birthday in the past, chanting numbers, and thinking about what kind of gift you want to buy for yourself.

"So... what was your first wish?"

Suddenly, the barber seemed to remember something.

He pressed: "Before you step into this quagmire..."

Because the barber suddenly remembered.

On the day he killed little Liuli and obtained the mask of Blue Robin...

He meets Miss Morgan.

She said at the time: "In the end, looking back, it is indeed different. The drink I like to drink, the job I do, and my future dream. Everything has changed."

"—What was your dream back then?"

"...at that time?"

Hearing this, Morgan was also silent for a long time: "Let me think about it..."

She couldn't remember it for a while, so she dragged the barber and continued to move forward.

As she walked, she seriously thought and recalled.

After walking out for a long time, she suddenly exclaimed:

"...Ah, I remembered!"

"what?"

asked the barber immediately.

"Ah, it's a bit embarrassing to say..."

Morgan was a little embarrassed.

But she was silent for a while, and still replied softly: "Back then, I actually wanted to be a [hero]."

"…hero?"

"Every kid wants to be a hero, right?"

Morgan recalled with some nostalgia: "At first, I wanted to have 'admirers'.

"After that... I wanted to be his hero alone. Be his hero."

"...what do you think of heroes?"

The barber asked in a low voice, "Media darling, corporate toy, foolish lunatic...or what?"

"It's the wind. It's the light. It's any force in time enough to change everything."

Morgan replied without hesitation: "I was there whenever he needed me—I think that's a hero."

She asked back, "What about you?"

"...a hero is a powerless thing."

The barber took a deep breath: "Something has to be sacrificed and some tragedy has to happen before a hero is born.

"Many costs are borne by the heroes' relatives and friends, some are borne by the innocent...very few are borne by the heroes themselves.

"Heroes can save many people. Only those who make themselves heroes that day and night cannot be saved."

In his mind, the weak and dead mother appeared.

Those skinny limbs and pale face, just thinking about it will make your heart palpitate.

"Heroes can't do anything."

he repeated.

"If I were an unfettered demon king, maybe I could laugh and destroy this world...but I can't~www.wuxiahere.com~ My concern is too deep, my personality is weak, and I worry too much.

"If I were an omnipotent sage, I might be able to change the whole world from top to bottom and prevent tragedies from happening again. But I am too powerless...my wisdom, my will, and my talents are nothing but ordinary people's degree.

"I can't do anything..."

"That's why you awakened psychic power," Morgan said softly, "I won't blame you for using his identity. Because I know...any psychic user is sad in his heart.

"Because a person always has to fail completely before he can discover his true desire."

"I…"

The barber hesitated to speak.

He felt a rare sense of confusion.

My desire...Russell's desire, what is it?

"...I want to help others."

If he realized something, he murmured in a low voice: "I want to make myself... useful."
