"Boom! ……”

Law was startled by the sudden loud noise.

He thought the battle wasn't over yet.

But in fact, the loud bang came from the sky.

It's thunder.

A thunderclap lingered in the sky for a long time before it fell completely silent.

With that violent explosion, Luo even thought that the sky above his head had cracked.

……

He was really tired.

So much so that the dazzling lightning that appeared in the sky before the thunder did not attract his attention.

That's why I was startled by the sudden thunder.

……

After the lightning and thunder, it is estimated that it will start to rain, which is definitely a bad situation.

But Rowe didn't think much of it.

He's now where Joe and Crocodile were in the beginning.

At this time, the sky was no different from night, and it was pitch black.

Law swept the ground in front of him with the light of his watch.

The first thing he saw was the killing machine that he, Joe, and the crocodile had killed in the first place, and it had been hammered by the crocodile and had broken its bones, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Law stepped over the corpse with his feet up, not looking at it again.

Although I knew what I might face, I was still a little apprehensive when I was coming.

What if?

What if it's still alive?

I can survive like this, why can't others?

In short, Luo still has a little hope in his heart.

Although this hope seems so humble in the face of the facts.

……

Law wished he could find the trail of Joe and the crocodile leaving, or if they were seriously injured and unconscious.

But the first thing Luo found was another corpse.

The corpse fell to the ground, barely connected with a little flesh and skin on its entire neck, and a hideous expression on its pale face.

Law recognized the man.

He used the light of his watch to glance at the corpse's chest with a knife wound pierced by a whale fork.

It's this person.

The man who was attacked by Luo in the first place.

Robben thought he was going to die, but at that time, neither Luo nor Joe had discovered about the bracelet, and they didn't know that the other party had a drug that could bring the dead back to life.

After being pierced through his chest by Luo's whaling fork, the man did not immediately lose his breath.

He injected himself with drugs.

Carrying a whaling fork, he found Joe and the crocodile.

……

Luo didn't look at the miserable killing machine anymore.

Because he saw a large depression in the ground next to him.

That's something he didn't have before he left here.

It was as if someone had dug a ravine in the ground, and all the dirt was squeezed to the end of the ravine, and the surface layer of the ground behind was squeezed high and raised, and the vegetation on the surface of the ground was split into pieces the size of a fifth of a fingernail and scattered all over the ground.

Luo looked at the ravine in front of him that was more than five meters long and nearly one meter deep.

He couldn't imagine what it was.

The ground was inlaid diagonally by a large cylinder, which was then removed.

Law shone the light into the ravine.

He wanted to see if there was anything inside.

But in the ravines there were only damp soil and broken roots.

……

He walked down the ravine to the place behind him where the dirt was squeezing.

Here, Luo seems to have found something on the ground......

He bent down with difficulty, trembling as he picked up the bundle.

It's one of Joe's dreadlocks......

It was still stained with blood.

……

Law swallowed, and he continued to look around with his head down.

He wished he hadn't found anything again.

But soon.

He found the crocodile's boots.

Joe's ring.

Some broken weaponry.

……

Law collapsed.

He felt as if a knife was stirring in his head.

Blood poured out of his nostrils.

He grabbed his head with both hands and screamed.

……

In fact, he should have found out a long time ago.

It's just that the range of the watch's lighting envelope is too small.

He should have found the broken bones and teeth mixed in the wet dirt on his face......

It's just that the subconscious mind makes him focus on something inconsequential.

But his keen sense of smell still allowed Luo to smell the thick smell of blood emanating from the soil.

The reason why these mound of dirt that have been squeezed together are so wet.

It's not because they've just been turned out of the ground.

Rather, because they are soaked in blood......

……

Luo crouched in front of the pile of dirt.

I didn't straighten up for a long time.

He didn't know what kind of weapon could have caused such a horrific picture.

It's like throwing two people mixed with dirt into a churner, spinning it around, and then pouring it out.

……

He knew he had come here to see the corpses of Joe and the crocodile.

But he never imagined that he would not even see the body.

Luo couldn't even tell which ones were Joe right now...... Which are crocodiles......

……

"Vomit ......"

Luo vomited a mouthful of blood.

He turned off the light on his watch.

Plunge everything around you into darkness and allow yourself to see nothing.

And he sat quietly for a long time next to the pile of dirt that smelled of blood.

……

Two more are missing.

Someone who was talking face-to-face an hour ago.

Now it's all a puddle of mud.

Sitting next to his teammates who blended in with the dirt, at this moment, Luo even felt that he was very much like Luo Yang.

The boy who planted a tree in his yard and dug something out of the dirt that had terrified him all his life.

Since then, the tragedy has turned this child into Luo and Luo Yang, two people.

Luo Yang was right, when the grief and horror were too much to bear, Luo stuffed him with all these unbearable things, making him a demon.

And since then, Law, who has escaped from all of it, seems to have lost the ability to grieve.

He didn't know how to cry.

He is used to keeping his face strained and showing indifference to everything.

He fell in love with the feel of a whaling fork tearing open the throat of an enemy, and became a troubled teenager who kills without blinking.

Luo lacks too many emotions and experiences that an ordinary sixteen-year-old should have.

But he was only sixteen years old after all, and Luo was as overwhelmed as a child in the face of Joe and Crocodile, who had died tragically.

He should have cried, but he didn't know how.

So he could only turn off the light on his watch, hoping to escape this strange emotion for a while.

……

A strange thought popped into Law's head.

Because this is the first time he hopes that Luo Yang can take the lead.

He knew that Luo Yang should be watching him from a corner, and he was most likely taunting him and trying to escape the encounter.

And the truth is, Luo really doesn't know how to face the death of his teammates.

He could clearly feel that he was not a whole person.
