Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 7 Reunion

It was pitch black all around, Luo Mu floated quietly in the middle of the sea, everything that Ke Er had experienced Luo Mu felt the same way, and accepted it without the slightest reservation, the endless sea water wrapped in endless darkness was like a pair of cold hands, pinching Luo Mu's neck fiercely.

Luo Mu sank slowly, and when he immediately touched the bottom of the sea, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had woken up from another world, Luo Mu exhaled a big breath, and his limbs paddled around without any strength, and then, Luo Mu finally remembered where he was, stepped on the ground at the bottom of the sea with his feet, and swam hard towards the sea level.

A few hundred meters from the shore, Luo Mu rushed out of the water, but the moon in the sky had been obscured by the clouds, Luo Mu coughed violently, and then there was a big gasp, everything when Ke Er died seemed to happen to Luo Mu himself, Luo Mu personally felt every minute when he was swallowed by endless darkness.

Death is as gloomy as the moon shrouded in clouds at this moment, leaving a mark on Luo Mu's heart, the torches on the shore in the distance are still burning, Luo Mu doesn't know how long he has been in the sea, Luo Mu swam towards the sea, found a place a little away from the torches and went ashore.

Luo Mu took off his pants and wrung out the water, and then walked to the circle of torches, Ke Rui was in the middle of the circle of torches facing the sea, Ke Rui stood quietly against the torch, there was no expression on his face, the slightly jumping flames on the torch reflected his face flickering, Ke Er's body was lying in the center of that circle of torches.

Cole's body had been soaked in the sea for nearly a month, and it was already very surprising to the people of the town that it had not been eaten by the fish, if it weren't for Cole's repeated insistence, the people in the town would have stopped looking for Cole as early as two weeks ago, but the adults really couldn't resist the repeated pleading of a child who was a single parent and now lost his father, and finally found Cole's body from a coral grove not far from the tsunami this evening.

Cole's face was extremely swollen with blisters, and the rest of his body was covered by a white cloth, and according to the people in the town who recovered Cole's body, they still recognized it by the turquoise ring on his left hand.

And at this moment, the turquoise ring was tightly held in Curry's hand, and Curry was just quietly looking at his father's face, who usually looked at him with disgust, by the light of the fire.

When Luo Mu walked over, his feet picked up the sand and made some noises, but Ke Rui didn't move as if he couldn't hear it, still leaning on the torch, and there were a few people who accompanied Ke Rui to summon the spirit, some of them were Ke Er's usual good friends in the town, and some were Ke Er's few relatives.

A woman is sitting on the beach, leaning her head on the torch pole beside her, the sea breeze on the beach at night is still a little cold, she is wearing a dark green long hooded windbreaker, her hands are wrapped around her knees, even if the face reflected by the firelight is extremely well maintained, but some subtle wrinkles can be seen, Luo Mu looked at the crowd, and recognized it at a glance, this must be the sister that Cole has never forgotten.

There seemed to be a lot of people around the torches, sitting around the torches, but most of them were talking to each other, talking about the Cole family during his lifetime, or about the future of the Cole family.

And really quietly looking at Cole's corpse, there was no shock in his eyes, and there were only three people quietly waiting for the dawn to come, Curry, the woman in the robe, and Luo Mu didn't even expect to see him so soon, Jeffrey was sitting next to Cole's sister.

Luo Mu is actually a person who is indifferent to many things, and the person he hated in this life has never appeared, and now, the first one that makes Luo Mu hate so much that he can't wait to rush up and tear that person's face to shreds is sitting in front of Ke Rui.

Luo Mu took a deep breath and walked to Ke Rui's side, Ke Rui didn't look back, so he said, "Brother Mu, it's so late, you go back and rest first, I'm fine" Luo Mu walked to Ke Rui and stood still, looked at him as if he didn't have a sad face and asked, "How do you know it's me?"

Ke Rui tilted his head slightly and looked at Luo Mu, "At this time, only you and Claire can stand by my side, and Claire doesn't dare to come out at this time."

Ke Rui is actually quite attractive, young age, a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, straight long eyebrows, and thin lips tightly pursed, but at this moment, Luo Mu can only see from Ke Rui's face that is calm, the kind of calm that doesn't care about anything.

The other people on the side of the torch only paused slightly to talk about Luo Mu's arrival, and glanced at this side, Luo Mu didn't continue to say anything, he turned around, because he "saw" that Cole's soul had slowly walked up from the sea.

The black mist around Cole's soul has disappeared, leaving only a light white and slightly transparent soul, Cole seems to be like returning from fishing every day, with a warm smile on his face, Cole slowly walked out of the dark sea, towards the circle of torches standing on the seashore, his own corpse.

Curry still didn't know anything, he looked at the sea that was still churning waves, he couldn't see Cole, Luo Mu turned his head to look at Curry's eyes, but he was asking in his heart, "Can I let him see his father again?" Luo Mu knew that Quinn would definitely be able to hear.

Ke Er had already walked to the front of the torch, Luo Mu suddenly grabbed Ke Rui's hand, Luo Mu just used this hand to pass through Ke Er's soul, dispelling the dark matter around Ke Er, the dark matter did not disappear, but turned into a small piece of black that did not reflect any light and was tightly embedded in Luo Mu's palm, as if it was integrated with him.

Luo Mu sat down cross-legged, his mind was empty, everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore, the whispers in the crowd, the small waves of the sea being swept up by the breeze, all the sounds suddenly disappeared, and the familiar heat flow gushed out from an unknown place in the body, but this time this heat flow did not run around in the body as before, but was all concentrated in the palm of Luo Mu's left hand.

That small piece of dark matter suddenly heated, and the hot Ke Rui let go of Luo Mu's hand with a scream, but Luo Mu grabbed Ke Rui's hand again, Ke Rui's palm was hot, Ke Rui broke Luo Mu's hand hard, and called "Brother Mu! What is in your hand! Why is it so hot, let go quickly", Luo Mu still closed his eyes, maintained the heat flow hard, gritted his teeth and said to Ke Rui, "Look back!"

Ke Rui shook Luo Mu's hand vigorously, while turning his head to look at the center surrounded by torches, Ke Rui was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, no longer caring about the severe pain in his palms, rubbing his eyes vigorously, and looked at Ke Er's pale white and slightly transparent body in a daze, without warning, two lines of hot tears burst out of Ke Rui's face like bursting the embankment.

"Dad..."

A force that Ke Rui didn't know where it came from, and suddenly broke free of Luo Mu's hand, and rushed frantically towards the place where Ke Er's soul was standing just now, but as soon as Ke Rui broke free of Luo Mu's hand, Ke Er immediately disappeared from Ke Rui's field of vision, and Ke Rui still maintained the posture of running forward with both hands outstretched, like a machine that was suddenly unplugged, and quietly stopped there.

Ke Rui understood at once, turned around and rushed to Luo Mu's side and held Luo Mu's hand, but the blazing burning pain never appeared again, Ke Rui raised his head and looked at Luo Mu, Luo Mu also just opened his eyes, looking at Ke Rui's bloodshot eyes full of tears, Luo Mu's heart trembled, but he still shook his head, Luo Mu pulled his hand out of Ke Rui's two tightly held hands, and the small piece of black dark matter was like a piece of debris burned by fire, blown by the wind, and disappeared with a little fire.

Curry turned around, and there was no trace of Curry in the center of the torch, but Curry still looked there fixedly, and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Right in front of you"

Curry nodded, slowly stretched out his two hands, and hugged forward.

Cole also stretched out two hands and hugged his son tightly for the last time.

I don't know how long it took, Ke Rui suddenly withdrew his hand, stood up and rubbed his eyes vigorously, "Let's go, let's go, no one will care about me anymore if you leave"

Ke Rui wiped away his tears, looked at Luo Mu, who still looked like he couldn't wake up, and asked, "Did he say anything?"

Luo Mu glanced at him, turned his head to look at the farthest sea, a dazzling red sun was rising from below the sea level.

"He said the kind of drink you like is on the third floor of the cabinet against the wall in his house."

Curry also turned his head to look at the new sun, and the golden light scattered all over the beach.

"I always knew that"
