Debut or Die - Chapter 547

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 547

Cheongryeo’s 100th restart.

It was here that I learned that Judan hadn’t debuted with VTIC.

But I didn’t expect to meet in such an absurd situation.

It was Cheongryeo’s status window, but it was deleted, so when I woke up, I was outside the VTIC concert hall at night.

furthermore… .

I pressed my temples and asked again.

“Embassy?”

What are you talking about knowing the number of the embassy?

“yes.”

However, Zhu Dan nodded casually.

“It’s midnight in this weather and you’re not even wearing a coat, so it looks like you got caught up in theft by drinking too much.”

“… … .”

“If you think you have a passport, why don’t you check it first.”

In a word, I am now like a tourist who got hit by a drunk while in a foreign country.

… It looks pretty miserable. I asked with my temple pressed.

“… Do you have a mirror?”

“You can use the smartphone selfie mode… .”

Zhu Dan stopped talking and looked at me with mysterious eyes.

It’s the expression that I knew it would be like that.

“It seems that your smartphone is also gone.”

“… … .”

create a reason

Rather good. No need to make excuses.

“I want to move to a warm place first.”

“Ah, a place where you can come in and out at a short distance… Hmm, this way.”

I quickly moved my feet following the guy who started giving directions.

As I walked along like that, apart from the pain, my mind slowly began to regain my composure.

‘Current status… .’

I still had the feeling that if I missed it, I would get caught up in it and lose my mind again, but I was able to endure it no matter what.

Instead, the condition of the body was like garbage.

‘The whole body seemed to be smashed.’

It was like the aftereffects of being ripped off from the status window.

Well, I thought the worst would go away, but it’s unfortunate that this is enough, but the average ride… .

“… … .”

And slowly I realized

‘Are you insane?’

What the hell are you accepting naturally?

It became a status window and I got out of the crazy experience of living in the system for 3 months. You should rather like it. What kind of idea is this crap?

Even when living in the system. Flirting and sending emoticons? I?

Instead of trembling to find a way back and rolling his head hard.

‘It’s strange.’

And the same goes for this deletion case.

It was a problem that I should have expected and prepared for when I thought of his thought circuit. No, shouldn’t I have prepared something with my teeth to grind the back of the head first.

‘… No.’

I recalled coldly.

I definitely thought so at the beginning of the status window.

‘But at some point I forgot.’

And he was beaten without preparation.

I couldn’t draw the big picture and just appealed for my usefulness to not delete it… no.

Not ‘me’, but the usefulness of the status window… it appealed

“… … .”

these X feet.

Didn’t I try to naturally equate myself with the status window?

driving me crazy. I wiped my face with both hands.

‘Am I affected by this if I’m in the system?’

So in conclusion… .

I had assimilated to the point where I felt comfortable with the resistance and pressure I had felt when accessing the system before.

to a dangerous level.

Wiping a cold sweat, I calmly thought.

‘I’m glad I bounced off.’

I’m in the worst shape right now, but I’m glad I got out of this damn mindset. Aren’t you at least feeling weird and giving me goosebumps?

The more I looked back on the three months I spent in the status window, the more absurd I felt.

… And there were things that were finally understood.

‘The big moon also went through this process.’

Personality traits disappear and the self gradually becomes assimilated as part of the system.

mouth was written Especially since I don’t know how reality works now.

‘I hope reality doesn’t have the same time flow as here.’

Park Moon-dae disappeared for 3 months? If so, there would already be an uproar on the internet, and even if I go back, I won’t be able to work like before because I’m trying to explain it.

‘after.’

how do you handle this

It was a time when I was clutching my head and getting confused about a messy family.

In the meantime, the guy next to me started talking to me.

“In case I suddenly spoke to you at the perfect timing, you might suspect another crime, such as human trafficking… .”

When is the main story coming out?

“I am a trainee at LeTi. There was something I left behind, so I came to look for it for a while.”

“Ah yes.”

“If you are wondering why I came to VTIC senior’s concert as a trainee… .”

oh it’s obvious

“Are you going to debut?”

“… … yes.”

“The company must have requested it for the purpose of gaining experience.”

The company usually brings ‘a passionate rookie who came to see the senior’s stage’ for media play and snow painting.

Since it is a company with a lot of money, they must have brought it to the LA concert to show the symbolism of America.

“… … yes.”

Ju Dan finally shut his mouth and started to move only his feet. I guess it was correct.

The place he guided us to was a cafe/bar-like place.

Well, it was an appropriate choice because most cafes abroad would be closed at this time.

The heated air was warm, but I couldn’t feel much of a difference, perhaps because my body was in so much pain.

I responded rationally.

“Thanks for the guidance. But the cafe… I have no money.”

“I will buy you a cup of coffee.”

uh i was waiting for that answer. I resisted the urge to grind whiskey and ordered something like a roughly hot latte.

“I’m sorry, but it seems difficult to accompany you after calling the embassy. It’s already close to midnight, but I can’t move after that.”

“yes. LeTi is like that. curfew.”

“… … .”

“We need to release official publicity materials, but there is also a problem with eyewitness accounts. All right.”

“… … .”

why.

Ju-dan seemed to be in serious agony about something, so he asked.

“Are you involved?”

Did you know now

I didn’t answer, but he scanned my face and nodded.

“You look decent, but as you know, the industry values age, so you probably aren’t an idol trainee. then… .”

“… … .”

Is it true that I’m sitting here at night listening to these sounds?

In fact, I figured out my appearance from the reflection in the window here.

I was Ryu Gun-woo.

That’s the look of the office worker right before the end of the day.

The good news is that it’s thin, but it’s a street wear. It would have been awesome if it was a nightgown style. I silently drank the latte served.

“Ah, have you already debuted?”

I didn’t answer.

Isn’t it ambiguous to say that we debuted or not?

In order to return to the state I debuted in the first place, I have to return to reality… There was only one clue that I was able to figure out now.

-[Rebooting]

That terminal.

The pop-up I saw in the system and contacted before being brought here in real life.

That was the only clue.

But to see it again, it means you have to access the system again, and you have to be able to endure sober while going through the symptoms of the human brain becoming flaccid again.

I frowned.

‘Then, should I contact Cheongryeo again?’

This time, I’m going to make good use of the bastard trying to restart to kill me… .

“… … .”

wait for a sec.

I recalled the situation where I was removed by him through the status window.

Cheongryeo’s attire at that time.

‘I was wearing street clothes.’

The reason why I suddenly changed my mind even though I didn’t have an outing schedule.

no way… .

“… … .”

have you already restarted

Come to think of it, it’s a natural circuit. I removed the status window saying it would delay the restart, but of course I tried to restart immediately without wasting any more time.

Then I… I mean, where are you now?

In the life he restarted for the 101st time? Or is this world going to be different again regardless of whether Chungryeo restarted it or not?

‘That wouldn’t make sense.’

In other words, the big moon had already figured out that going back to the past meant that the real world itself was rewinding backwards.

I looked down at the coffee cup I finished drinking and rolled my head.

‘It’s decided either way.’

First of all, finding out the whereabouts of Cheongryeo is the first step.

… … I mean in that sense.

I looked up.

good to use… No, I saw a very good helper.

“hmm. If you’ve calmed down, it might be a good idea to contact the embassy soon.”

While sipping the Einstephener he had ordered, Judan was shaking his lips like this.

I answered him seriously.

“There is no need for that.”

“… ! The reason is?”

His eyes flashed as if he had come up with some extraordinary idea.

Rather good.

I opened my mouth leisurely.

Something that might interest him… .

good. I can’t help it.

“I am from the future.”

“Puheap.”

Zhou Dan exhaled the Einsteppener he had been drinking.

* * *

“… therefore.”

As if he had fallen into a trance, he was talking quickly.

“The current leader of VTIC has the ability to go back to the past, and he inherited it and wrote it as a future person… .”

“yes.”

I hung up, but it didn’t matter if I let them talk freely. because it is foreign

Besides, even if you understand it, you’ll know what kind of fans are making settings and playing. Because it sounds like dog shit.

However, as expected, this nonsense worked well for Ju Dan.

With a mischievous face, he asked me a few questions about whether there was something strange in the context of my words, and he is still seriously verifying… .

“This is really interesting. Have you ever heard of Chaos Theory? It’s like the butterfly effect… .”

“yes. I looked up a lot of theories.”

I hastily cut him off.

no time It would be better for me to verify it sooner rather than later.

“If you research my personal information, you will know, but right now I’m probably still in college. It will come out that you are in Korea.”

And when he even logged in to my university account, the guy who checked the information carefully nodded his head.

It seems like the medicine is working… .

“Wouldn’t you like to meet yourself in this timeline? um no I don’t really want to recommend it. It’s a bit risky.”

“… … .”

be patient

“So do you believe me?”

“Assuming you believe, let’s act. To be honest, you seem to know me well.”

“… … .”

“I guess there was a connection in the future?”

I weakly nodded.

“great.”

The boy said it quite confidently.

Zhou Dan adjusted his outfit and said while putting on a pod.

“first… You seem older than me, but you speak comfortably.”

“okay.”

“… … .”

He nodded his head at once, and was silent as if embarrassed. what.

“… … Can I speak comfortably?”

“Yes.”

“It’s actually fine. I feel comfortable with respectful words.”

why did you ask

Anyway, I’m back to the point.

“… I get it. Anyway, so there is one thing I want to check here.”

I looked at him seriously.

“Did Cheongnyeo go back to the past?”

“… !”

Ju Dan’s complexion changed.

A little thrill added.

“If that’s the case, senior Cheongryeo could have already… .”

I nodded.

“I’ll have to check that out.”

Zhu Dan swallowed his saliva.

“All right.”

thank you for fishing

* * *

I stayed at Ju Dan’s inn for one night.

It was a suitable business hotel, but the company supported me until this point.

“Does anyone share a dorm?”

“It was originally a two-person room, but I went out to stay somewhere else with my family. Thanks to that, I was able to write comfortably.”

There is a golden spoon in the debut group. Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to avoid clumsy excuses and sleeping on the floor.

But in fact, I couldn’t fall asleep even after lying in bed that day. I’m not sure if it’s okay to sleep, and the pain is so bad.

Thanks to that, I had enough time to reflect on my judgment.

ruler.

First of all, short-term measures such as ‘how to deal with Cheongryeo depending on the situation’.

These things can be planned while checking the situation at that time. I’m not feeling well right now, but I can use my brain.

The problem is this.

fundamental threat.

-You must re-enter the system to check the clues.

When I go back, what effect will I have?

“… … .”

Damn.

Even if the clue itself was bait, I had to see it.

‘Because I have to go back.’

I stayed up all night in such fierce calculations.

and the next day.

Ju Dan led me to the VTIC concert venue again.

Actually, the concert is tomorrow, but most of the officials are here.

“If you’re my cousin, you won’t be interrogated.”

I even made some background information at will, but I just left it. We have to keep that level of fun so we can continue to cooperate.

“For reference, there are no special rumors about Cheongryeo.”

… okay.

So, since morning, I have been secretly following him to the aisle of the VTIC concert.

However, my head was cold with a problem that had not yet been answered.

‘How I can come to my senses in the system.’

I needed that.

In the meantime, I inevitably passed the place where I came to my senses yesterday.

It was enough to know that the atmosphere had changed 180 degrees even in the middle of the hectic situation.

– Ohhh!

bright and noisy

The chatter and laughter of excited people echoed here and there. And VTIC’s hit songs came in between them.

It was a spectacle like a concert audience.

What’s interesting is that you can hear things that aren’t VTIC songs at all.

[Come on baby you know it’s real!]

[It’s like sweet cotton candy!]

“Hmm, it’s like a Kpop random dance challenge. What you see on the west side looks like a professional dance team performing.”

Zhu Dan nodded while looking at the plaza-like place.

There were overflowing small stages here and there in the large space for WeTube videos or to enjoy the eve of the concert.

“VTIC is a group that represents the genre. So, there are many cases where concert commemoration becomes a festival about KPOP itself. As you already know, let me explain.”

okay. I already know.

I’ve seen it a few times at our concerts.

“… … .”

hmm.

I checked my form.

A stranger in a hat.

and asked

“Can anyone participate in something like that?”

“yes. It will be, but usually only local fans participate due to manners… … .”

I didn’t listen to the end and moved on.

“hey?”

* * *

After a while.

In the middle of a noisy and exciting festival.

A man in a black hat stood at the top of the stairs holding a simple microphone.

“… … .”

Joo Dan wondered if this was an unexpected action or if he was guiding a mentally ill person, but for now, he stood on the other side and watched his actions.

The man checked the microphone with surprising skill, but as if something was awkward.

And while trying to choose an accompaniment on Witube… .

I hesitated.

“… … .”

There are few songs sung by Testa Park Moon-dae.

All of them are songs that will come out in the future, and those are songs that will come out in a future that will develop in a different direction than now. For now, it was just an imaginary song in his head.

And of course.

‘… okay. There is none.’

There are no songs by Testa.

Not even one song.

“… … .”

But that didn’t mean it couldn’t be called.

The man finally chose a song.

Soon, with a faint accompaniment, a man picked up the microphone.

Tutuk.

at the very beginning.

A song I practiced to become an idol when I just crash landed on a new life.

That song that I practiced so often back then that still flows with the feeling of that time.

It comes out through Ryu Gun-woo’s mouth.

[I remember the me I knew.]

.

First review song for Park Moon-dae’s < Re-listed! Idol Inc. >.

This is a solo song that the youngest member of T-Holic, which disbanded, released just a few weeks ago.

Here, the song that has not even been reversed yet is now riding on Ryu Gun-woo’s voice.

“Shining and dazzling – beyond the seasons to the tired and weak days.”

Overlapped with the poor microphone quality, the live voice rang together.

“Containing my broken self oh… .”

[Only me.]

[Yes, It’s me.]

The voice spread.
