"But what does opening the sealed shelter have to do with a murderer showing up?" he asked nonchalantly.
"Should I say, the timing? As soon as we refused to open it, the rumor spread that there was a murderer around. The sound of a pounding heart, do you know about it?"
He knew a lot about it. Back then, he had run into more than two hundred murderers and had killed more than a hundred of them.
"Roughly. The sound comes when the murderer is close, doesn't it?"
"Yes... When I told my team about it, they laughed at me and said it was only something from the simulation. And after that, one of our members died while out gathering..."
"Ah... And the murderer only appeared after the proposal was refused?"
"Yes..."
"Hm... I think it has something to do with it."
