Debut or Die - Chapter 299
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 299
It’s not surprising that you can usually hear your roommate’s voice at dawn, but right now the situation is a bit exceptional.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
Today, Chungwoo Ryu went as a guest to a camping variety show that lasts for 2 days and 1 night.
So, in fact, I was in a solitary room, so I was able to comfortably conduct video calls.
[oh… .]
“Wait.”
widely.
I closed my laptop once. Then I got up and headed for the door.
“Brother, wait a minute.”
and opened the door
Liu Chengyu, lightly dressed, stood with a somewhat puzzled expression. I’m curious too. why are you here
“Hmm, I thought you were filming.”
“Ah, due to a cast issue, we decided to rejoin tomorrow evening.”
Liu Qingyu touched the back of his neck a few times and said in a slightly embarrassed tone.
“But the door is locked… If you were sleeping, I was just going to sleep in the living room, but I heard a noise.”
“… … .”
I couldn’t be so calm if I heard what you were saying.
‘It’s also a place with good soundproofing in the first place.’
I sighed and moved away.
“There are a lot of noisy guys, so I guess I locked it up and forgot about it. sorry.”
“There is nothing to be sorry about.”
I mean that, but it’s even funnier that you seem to understand this excuse. I briefly thanked Cha Yoo-jin and sat down on my bed.
After waiting for a while, when Ryu Cheong-wu goes to wash up, he takes his laptop and goes out… .
“Moondae, the laptop light is on.”
“I just played a game.”
Liu Qingyu seemed a little shocked.
“Until this dawn?”
“Yes what. I think it will be fine for a day or so.”
This excuse came to mind because he had been thinking of Cha Yu-jin until right before. I feel like my dignity is being shattered.
A vague answer came back.
“hmm… It can be bad for your health, so let’s moderate it.”
“yes.”
I answered with difficulty.
“I will sort it out now.”
“okay. Even if tomorrow’s schedule is afternoon, it’s already 3 in the morning.”
Liu Qingyu smiled faintly and began to take out his pajamas.
I made a rational decision, holding back the desire to punch the bed.
‘I’ll go in to wash in 30 seconds.’
So get ready to pretend to organize your laptop… .
“Um, Moondae. Just because the situation… Is it okay if I ask you something?”
“sure.”
Liu Cheng-wu, who was holding the clothes, spoke a little cautiously.
I should have guessed there.
“About that VTIC senior.”
oh shit
I swallowed my saliva at the topic of the bastard in my laptop.
‘It’s covered, so I won’t be able to hear it.’
“Listening to what Sejin said, it seemed like there was an incident. What did that old man do?”
“hmm… ”
I calculated briefly. How close to the truth are you going to tell them specifically?
And made the right concentration.
First of all, it is implied that it is a thing of the past so that the reaction does not grow unnecessarily.
“I had some work before.”
And it changes the atmosphere by focusing on the explanation that it is not my fault rather than the incident itself.
“It was because they fought because they were fighting. I didn’t hit you first, I hit you back.”
“A fight?”
“yes. So each other… We fought with fist fights.”
“… … .”
I was a bit perplexed.
good. I think it will flow into a situation similar to the last two guys with the same name.
“that… It sounds like you were hit back while trying to hit your junior.”
Accurate.
“Yes. Apparently, there is also a yearly difference… Hierarchically, it was their fault. I did a good job fighting back.”
“okay.”
Is it the end?
It’s time to start listening to comfort and advice… .
“But did you become close enough to play games with that senior?”
“… !”
shit.
I don’t know how many times this surprises me.
However, it seems that Ryu Cheng-wu did not intend to question him, but was just curious.
“I came in earlier, but I heard a sound through your earphones. I didn’t mean to listen.”
As soon as the laptop was closed, it did not go back to dormancy, but it must have been alive for a while. No matter what, he’s a damn good guy.
“Do you have any concerns or inconveniences? About there.”
… It seems a bit worried too.
Perhaps, as I add up various circumstances from the recording of my profane speech, I suspect that there is some kind of situation in which I am constantly being disciplined and harassed.
Is it speculation that it will be used as a production bot in the game until dawn to harass juniors?
‘Because he’s a guy who used to exercise, he must’ve come across a lot of examples.’
I shrugged.
“Nothing. Fighting makes me feel comfortable, so I’m contacting you. I got enough apologies.”
“hmm.”
“I’m using it well, so you don’t have to worry.”
“… Do you use it?”
“what… It’s enough once you’ve got it sorted out. Don’t worry, it’s easy to mobilize from time to time.”
“Only… .”
Ryu Cheng-wu seemed to understand something, but soon a worry flashed across his face.
and asked hastily.
“Mundae, doesn’t that mean you’re harassing me on the contrary?”
It’s me who gets angry every time. It’s a baby.
“sure.”
I took some time to reassure Liu Cheng-wu, who was starting to worry about the situation on the contrary.
“Hyung, I don’t think I look like that person.”
“No. Of course not. But um, since you’re so smart… … If you ever want revenge, you know you don’t have to be the same person… .”
“Don’t say it for granted, let’s go wash up.”
Ryu Cheong-wu entered the bathroom only then with a shy smile, and I came out to the living room with my laptop with the words ‘I will explain that I will finish the game and leave’.
And I opened my laptop with my back to the veranda. I was thinking of stopping the app and turning off the power, but… Surprisingly, Cheongryeo’s face popped up.
[Ah.]
It looks like he was writing something down.
But you didn’t bother hanging up this video call?
[Is the story over?]
“I didn’t know you were still online.”
[I want to hear the answer to the question.]
Ah, it comes back to that in the end.
‘Why are there so many people asking for clarification on this and that?’
I pressed my throbbing forehead and answered lowly.
“It’s difficult to speak out loud, so chatting.”
[Good.]
-CHR: Like this?
-Apple : Yes
-CHR : ^^
-CHR : So why do analyzes that are not available?
did you leave it?
I felt skeptical for a moment, but quickly typed in consideration of this guy’s merits.
-Apple: After analyzing the pattern completely, there is something I want to infer.
-CHR: What?
-Apple: I don’t know why I’m here.
-Apple: I don’t remember that time,
so I hear him making a low sound through my earphones.
I thought I was lost in thought, but soon an absurd article came to my mind.
-CHR: Wasn’t it your wish to become an idol with a new identity?
-Apple: I was a public official.
-Apple: My relationship was just taking and selling data
-CHR: Could it be that I secretly developed a longing for idols?
this kid is real
I deliberately didn’t express emotion and calmly operated the keyboard.
-Apple: Looking at the cases of you and Kwon Hee-seung, it seems that they had very specific wishes
-Apple: Do you think I would?
Laughter came from the earphones. I tried to change the setting to silent and it only stopped right before.
-CHR: Okay
yes.
-CHR: But I don’t think that’s the only thing.
what?
-CHR: I don’t think he was the one who showed all his hands just because he wanted to be cool.
-CHR: Any other reason?
okay. I had the exceptional means of status windows and missions, so more things were possible.
But even if you don’t have to explain it, there is an explanation that can be done. I paused for a moment and then slowly wrote my answer.
-Apple: I hope this crazy thing doesn’t happen in the future, so
it ends up here again.
It is a well-spoken wish, but it is crazy to go through ‘status abnormalities’ in a state where there is virtually no status window.
How many times have I almost died right now?
… I don’t even know how many times the guy on the other side died.
‘It’s already crazy in that it has neither choice nor knowledge.’
This must be the reason why I took action as soon as I got a clue instead of waiting for the ‘conversation with Park Moon-dae’.
However, the person chatting didn’t seem to agree very much. Cheong-rye glanced at the monitor.
-CHR: So you mean you’d rather just die?
-Apple: It can’t be.
It’s extreme again.
-Apple: If you don’t want people to die, you can use another method
-Apple: Whether you’re running a donation campaign
-Apple: It doesn’t look good to send it to the past and make it die again if you can’t clear it, but a
short answer came back.
-CHR: Are you unhappy now?
It’s funny because it’s said by someone who has benefited.
I typed again.
-Apple: We are a case of success
-Apple: We do not know what happened to the person who failed
.
Clearly, only ‘failure’ was written, but the effect was not written.
‘The request was clearly specified until restart.’
If so, it usually means that in case of ‘failure’, it may just end like my status abnormality.
What will happen after that… That doesn’t sound very positive.
-Apple: It must be difficult to catch the next target
-Apple: But if you analyze the pattern, you might come up with a way to stop it
-Apple: It’s worth a try, because
time and space are controllable factors.
[…] … ]
Cheong-Ryung didn’t answer for a few seconds. He only moved his hand on the mouse a few times.
By the time I realized it was like petting a dog, the answer came back.
[Maybe.]
I nodded slowly.
And the guy on the screen suddenly laughed heartily.
‘what?’
-CHR: And
-CHR: To prevent variables in activities due to someone with future knowledge?
“… … .”
-Apple: What are you checking when you know
[Hahaha!!]
You can hear it through the earphones. I was disgusted and turned the setting to silent this time.
-CHR: Kicking the ladder is good.
-CHR: Yes. I will cooperate well in the future, junior-nim
“This new… .”
“Are you still playing the game?”
At that moment, I realized again that I was sitting in the living room of the hostel.
“no. wait a minute.”
Good job putting it back to silence.
-Apple: Turn off.
This time I closed the app and turned off the laptop completely.
Liu Cheng-wu was sticking out his upper body from the room with a subtle smile.
“It looks like the game was a lot of fun.”
“I will delete it.”
“I don’t think so… .”
“no. I will do that for myself.”
After silently enduring Liu Cheng-wu’s encouragement, I lay down on the bed.
“I will close the door.”
“yes.”
‘Let’s sleep properly.’
After asking Ryu Cheng-wu for his understanding, I set the alarm for 10 o’clock and put my smartphone down.
I was more tired than I thought, maybe it was because I said a lot of things that I wouldn’t normally do as a typewriter.
‘… I’ve guessed everything I can think of right now.’
A system that transfers to a candidate closer in time and space.
Finding that pattern was an achievement. However, the more it happened, the more eerie corners were revealed in detail.
‘The system knows how to transfer people who will voluntarily die in the future.’
No, it was a transcendental ability that allowed me to return to the past at the point of death in the first place.
I inadvertently called the status window once.
[Name: Park Moon-dae (Ryu Gun-woo)]
A list of lines starting like that.
Why does this remain with me even though the transfer system has left?
The more I analyzed the pattern, the more my uniqueness was revealed, which was a strange feeling.
And in the end, I realize that my choice was not wrong.
‘In the end, it is necessary to talk to ‘Park Moon-dae’.’
I couldn’t deny it. There was a high probability that the blank I had could be found there.
‘And if it goes on like this, at least one target… .’
When I thought that far, I fell asleep.
It was a deep sleep without long dreams.
and the next day.
Gyeeing-!
“… … .”
You slept well.
I turned off the 10 o’clock alarm and erased the message notifications and pop-ups on the screen.
And among them, I didn’t pay much attention to, was the entertainment newsletter app I recently subscribed to.
[“I can’t feel the military spirit” 6-member T-Holic comeback]
I found out later that it was like a disaster alert.
