After the Water Ghost left, the two continued on their way, guided by the map, until they reached the entrance of the dark and deep underground tunnel.
Here, Kato Shinjiro first checked the rack at the tunnel entrance and found explosives and an old-fashioned hand-cranked flashlight.
These items were originally packed in crates, wooden crates, and it's obvious that Yamamoto Chunai had opened them last night.
So far, the information provided by Chu Xi has all matched, which made Kato Shinjiro feel a little relieved.
He knew Chu Xi was wary of him, and he was also wary of Chu Xi, but he dared to venture alone tonight not out of recklessness, but because he had some confidence.
This confidence came from his family's influence; in the prophecy, someone saw his future, which was enough to prove that he wouldn't die on this mission.
This prophecy, combined with the various clues he possessed, gave Kato Shinjiro at least a 90% certainty of ending the nightmare.
