It was like a slow-motion playback of a movie. He was looking for any possible flaws and loopholes that might exist in those memories.
Ah, I keep feeling like something is wrong. What is wrong?
Just as he was thinking about that, he suddenly heard a clang.
"What was that?"
He jumped up from the bed and reached his hand toward his waist.
The sound went away.
What is going on?
He carefully peeped out and looked around. It was quiet outside. He did not find anything out of the ordinary. He did not turn on the light. Instead, he searched the room and found a piece of bamboo on the ground.
Bamboo?
He picked up the bamboo and inspected it. He took out a knife from his pocket and cut it open. There was a piece of paper inside. He looked at the contents of the note using the light from his cellphone and smiled.
This is interesting!
In the village, nothing happened during the night.
