Underground passage:
It's been a few minutes since he left the crossroads. Now he is walking back to the sinkhole located at the site of the dilapidated building. He doesn't know whether those two had left or not.
He could imagine them being afraid. The network connection was cut off here in the passage. He could only inform them after going back.
It's already nighttime. He thinks that rat beasts were previously released for the nighttime intrusion. He thinks the people who released the beasts wouldn't have imagined that they would die by his hands.
Jeremy then collected his thoughts before resuming walking.
Screech!
Not long after, he hears a horrific scream. This terrible sound was louder and more powerful than before. Jeremy paused his footsteps and turned around.
He knows that it's the noise of a rat beast. He wouldn't be surprised if a rat beast appeared to attack. But he was disturbed by the sound.
