Chapter 429

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 429

Talking directly with a fan.

In fact, it’s rare. Most of them communicate indirectly with light sticks shaking on stage or through texts posted on the Internet.

Even at a fan signing event, they lined up and had a short conversation in a space where many people were together.

So it’s extremely rare to have a one-on-one conversation like this.

“… … .”

Even though I am in a suspended room leaning over a collapsed stage. And even though I could die right now.

“Why are you here? Why are you here?!”

A cry was heard from beyond the wall. sound bewildered.

There is little fear or panic. Just about this situation where the stage collapsed.

‘… I don’t know.’

I slowly regained my senses and judged.

The light stick that the fan is holding is quite bright, but it doesn’t shoot forward, so it doesn’t have much of an effect on lighting beyond the field of vision. I’d rather just make that fan look good.

So, that fan is enough to recognize my clothes or my overall outline.

I don’t see my situation or opponent well.

I swallowed and opened my mouth.

“… I came to get something and got stuck. are you okay.”

Are you okay?

A wall was blocking it anyway. In such an unstable situation, why would something crazy and bizarre happen that even involved that person… .

‘Idiot.’

It was right to just send it. Why are you trying to create a variable?

“What can I do? Wait a minute. I will call people… .”

“no. It shouldn’t be too noisy.”

Sending it now would be a problem. I’ll call other people.

The problem is that it was reassuring.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh well… . sorry sorry! then… Shall I go to the other side and open the door?”

“It could be dangerous, so why don’t we wait like this until rescue comes.”

“Yes… .”

I’m glad to have to spend time talking. The eyes are hot.

I never thought the day would come when I felt this way, but it was so funny that I almost laughed out loud.

‘Stupid bastard.’

I stepped back further and leaned against the door as if I were leaning against a wall and again grabbed the iron ledge. As the distance increased, it became more peaceful.

won’t dry up

And he inadvertently opened his mouth.

“Are other people okay?”

“I don’t know, but maybe all the members left. An announcement came out and everyone went out with the audience… .”

fortunately it was I asked, biting my tongue to avoid needlessly feeling relieved.

“… Who is your sister?”

“Nana? I am… oh okay! I’m not sick, and the shaking of the building seems to have almost stopped.”

This person said that he was looking for a place where the production team had collected the stolen cell phones for the purpose of preventing spoilers.

And he found me over the collapsed wall while carefully climbing the emergency stairs.

“I’m a little late to go out, so I’m stuck. I was sitting in the front seat.”

I laughed helplessly. It made my mouth dry.

“yes. saw.”

“… Did you see me?!”

“yes. You were sitting in the front left. So, by my older sister’s standards, she’s on the right side.”

“Huh.”

To be honest, I think I’ve seen it from time to time since my debut, but let’s not bother talking about things like that.

just… let’s keep talking

“How did you come? Is it time for the weekend?”

“Ah yes. I’m not working, I… I am a graduate student.”

Majored in biotechnology, raised a dog… .

In fact, perhaps that person was also quite anxious, so he usually tells personal stories that he would not have bothered to tell to strangers.

Also, why do you like me, which stage and which broadcast scene did you like and support?

There is a warmth that does not match the situation in the familiar and unfamiliar story.

So will you do more? to forget the situation.

“… I see.”

I listened to it quietly.

This one wasn’t bad either.

Then, as the other party gradually relaxed, he asked if he had realized that he was trapped in the building again.

“excuse me… Did you stop the performance earlier because it felt weird?”

“It’s similar.”

Probably didn’t see me fall.

Besides, thinking about it, he didn’t seem to be surprised that I was alive, so he didn’t even see that I was the one who jumped out.

I won’t talk about someone who seems to have been crushed to death by a stage set for fear of disturbing me.

“… Thank you. for your concern.”

“… !! What are you talking about, of course… ah. We’re here in the middle of Seoul, and we’re coming to the rescue soon. do not worry… Let’s wait a little longer!”

It is a courageous voice that is deliberately raised a tone.

I laughed.

“yes.”

A decision was made.

at the same time.

sigh.

There was a sound from the door behind me.

and foreboding.

The cold sweat and nervousness, as if everything was over, the sense of near-miss failure returned again.

‘… … It’s over.’

Sharp judgment that returns in an instant. Why don’t you jump out right now and somehow get over the hole in the wall where the fan is standing?

Like jumping into this furnishings room.

‘If the timing is right… .’

“… … .”

“… Are you Mundae? Are you hurt or sick somewhere?”

Then the chance of getting involved with that fan is extremely high.

“no.”

okay.

I put an iron shelf.

At the same time, an ominous crushing sound rang from behind.

The sound of a door being smashed.

“… !”

“ah.”

Support-support-support-

concrete scraping each other and breaking.

The small supply room fell down and descended with an eerie sound.

At the same time, I ran through the broken door.

thud.

But the corridor is already broken. Moreover, because the furnishings room tilted, it was so high that your hands, not your feet, could barely touch the hallway floor.

All that remains is a black void.

“Suck!”

Tup.

I barely managed to grab hold of the broken hallway and cling to it.

‘… no.’

But the goddamn hand lacks strength.

The output of the limbs, which have already been used several times, has significantly decreased, and even one hand cannot sustain my body.

‘It will fall soon.’

I felt like I could hear a scream calling me from behind the roar.

“… … .”

But it’s okay.

This is the right choice, not the other side.

If I can’t avoid it no matter what, at least I have to choose how to get rid of it.

I hung on to a piece of concrete protruding from the material, thinking I might be the last one.

-brother!

“… … .”

Now that this had happened, there was only one last attempt left.

‘Status window.’

Aim at the status window to contact Big Moon… .

[Settling]

At that moment, the bloody hand slips like a lie.

“… !!”

I just fell into the void.

A short thrill.

Soon, a tremendous sense of blow and pain in the cool darkness should cover the whole body… at the time.

… …

[??’s search request! (101)]

[??’s search request! (102)]

[??’s search request! (103)]

[OK]

The world has stopped.

As if it had slowed down infinitely, it accelerated as if seeing a kaleidoscope.

And the display of the status window that appears in front of you is suddenly opaque and clearly visible. Hundreds of pop-ups overlap and shine.

Even a new pop-up on top of that.

[Search complete!]

[Result value: Check ‘title’]

What is this?

[Title: Successful (Idol)]

-You have succeeded.

: Permanent removal of abnormal status

‘A.’

Seeing that, I remember.

I cleared the last status ailment before… This is a privilege received after completing the truth check at Bae Se-jin’s house.

A law received from the system by Big Moon and expressed in language.

… The guarantee of the status window that you will not be affected by status abnormalities again in the future.

If so,

‘the situation like this X… Contrasting with the title.’

It was then.

swish

ache.

I stopped in the air at the tremendous pressure that began as I grabbed my wrist and the force that seemed to cut it off.

Time goes by again.

A voice was heard.

“Mundae… !”

I looked up.

on concrete. I see a white face and a hand holding my arm.

It was Seon Ah-hyun.

“… !”

I don’t know why I’m here or what the situation is.

But I screamed that the pain was real.

“Wait a minute.”

Seon Ah-hyun pulled me with amazing power. And beyond the status window, a phrase appeared on that earnest face.

[Error!]

[Check error: status abnormality occurred]

[Recovery attempt]

I was out of breath.

[Correcting]

[‘Status Failed’ – > ‘Mission Failed’]

[Penalty recovery… .]

The status window changes.

[Breakout!]

Mission failed: Building collapse

one hour until the next disaster.

“Huh.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay… .”

short of breath The tension and irrational pressure that filled you up to the top of your head are scrutinized like the ebb and flow, leaving fatigue, pain, and reasonable anxiety to melt away for a while.

“are you okay… .”

I accepted it slowly, almost leaning on Seon Ah-hyun.

“… … .”

that you are still alive.

* * *

“Hey water here.”

“… thanks.”

I accepted the plastic bottle of mineral water offered by Seon Ah-hyun. It was a bit difficult to drink because my teeth clashed, but I drank as much as I could and wiped my mouth, and the label came into view.

‘This.’

I didn’t prepare for being caught on camera.

‘… If you pulled it from a vending machine, you wouldn’t have any coins.’

Basically, we were all bare-chested, wearing only our stage costumes. Isn’t it funny to go on stage with something in your pocket? This question will come to light after a while.

“… !! Moondae hyung! Are you okay?”

As she moved a little with Seon Ah-hyeon’s support, she soon ran into Kim Rae-bin, who had packed an emergency flashlight and was carrying a lot of water.

It turns out that as soon as they thought I looked cold, they rushed to the waiting room to find blankets, but they broke up and separated from the members.

‘I don’t know that the stage set has been poured over me.’

I don’t need to talk about it.

“… You are seriously injured. There is a first aid kit in the waiting room, so after disinfecting first… ”

“Okay.”

I asked Rabin Kim, who was about to cry, as calmly as possible.

“Then this is the second floor with a waiting room.”

“You are correct… The source of this

water was the waiting room. The road down to the backstage on the first floor was blocked when the ceiling of the stage poured down.

If so.

“What about the other staff?”

“We broke up during the evacuation… I’m not sure where it went.”

“… … .”

I narrowed my eyes and saw the two guys. Now that I look at it, these guys look like they’ve been rolling in a pit of dust.

I don’t think these bastards heard something strange during the evacuation and stayed here to find me.

But it’s not too late to talk about that after escaping, so let’s move on.

‘okay.’

escape.

I checked the status window pop-up that appeared earlier.

In fact, I didn’t even put it in.

… I’m afraid it will disappear.

[Mission Failed: Building Collapse]

– Disaster of Collapsing Death

: Until the next accident 00:55:37

Changed from abnormal status failure to mission failure, and the range became narrower and a little kinder.

‘Did I connect with it because I have a ‘mission constitution’?’

It seems to have been put together somehow.

Still, if I had seen that phrase in the status window before this shit started, I would have wanted to turn around.

But doing this makes me feel at ease. where is an hour

‘I can try at least once.’

It is really traumatic when an idol you like gets killed while having a conversation right in front of you. At least I want to leave a trace that I lived a little after that.

I went to the waiting room and received the first aid that Kim Rae-bin insisted on.

“The back… .”

“You just have to go out and get proper treatment.

The hand that heals the back trembled.

“What the hell were you doing upstairs while all this was happening… ?”

“… … .”

After a moment of hesitation, I changed my mind.

for work to be done in the future.

“Actually, I was looking for the big moon.”

“Big moon… ?”

“I saw you in that gold chat before.”

“ah!”

He must have been the one I just tried countless times to search on my status bar. Because he’s the only one who can access the status window.

‘And I think I somehow created a gap in the interpretation by intertwining my title and mission constitution.’

It was similar to what I had done to him a lot.

… He was trying to save me somehow.

then.

‘… I’ll have to see if Big Moon knows more and see if I can deal with this again in a similar way.’

But now communication is impossible.

[‘Mission Failed’ penalty: Restricting use of the status window add-on.]

Now, whenever I try to have a pop-up chat with Keundal, this pops up.

‘We have no choice but to meet in person.’

So let’s be honest here for cooperation.

“This situation appeared on the status window as a preview.”

After explaining the general situation, I swallowed and said with a dry mouth.

“So, find the big moon somehow and discuss if you know anything… .”

“Oh, no.”

“… ?!”

“Right now, Mundae is so hurt. I’ll buy it and look at it until it’s rescued.”

“I want to too.”

Actually, I don’t really want to do that, but let’s do it at least with words.

anyway.

“If you stay still… They say this building will collapse again in 49 minutes and 31 seconds.”

“… !!”

“I might find a way to stop it, so I’ll do something.”

I got up. It seemed that some strength had returned.

let’s move

If it was that guy, he would have stayed in the building while watching this.

“… … .”

Cheong-rye pressed the call on her smartphone.

The customer’s phone is off, so it connects to voicemail…

Beep.

It still made the same sound.

no response.

But the traces in front of my eyes don’t lie.

He opened the emergency door and saw a collapsed third-floor hallway.

would have jumped here. and… .

‘I was alive.’

At least so far.

He looked down and turned on the flashlight function on his smartphone. There is a mess of concrete and iron.

no bloodstains

“I’d rather find a place that has announcements… ”

“Quiet.”

“… … .”

Ju Dan shut his mouth.

‘Did I follow you for no reason?’

When I saw the leader who left the waiting room, I followed the premonition of the incident and came out, but I was trapped in a collapsed building.

‘There was a game like this… .’

Ju-dan frowned and chased Cheong-ryeo down the emergency stairs.
