There was a brief pause, but the recording didn't stop. Obviously, the man had located the source of the stench and was checking the floor.
Myne knew what was going to happen next. With a thud, the secret compartment opened.
"Pah!"
The recorder made a distinct sound of falling, followed by the man's trembling voice filled with disbelief and fear.
[ Oh My God! What the hell is this?! ]
The recording then cut off, apparently because the other person had discovered the inventory of corpses below. This was a significant psychological blow for someone who had been dreaming of starting a family in this creepy town.
Myne carefully reviewed the last recording and noted that it was from 8:15 PM.
Then, the recorder made a trembling sound, and he could clearly feel the man's despair and fear while speaking, which was completely different from the excited tone at the beginning.
