Episode 434

a few hours ago.

Kwagwagwang!

"Aaaagh!"

When the stage equipment collapsed and screams began to flow.

'Quick, quick, quick... !'

Keundal tried to connect to the status window and try to communicate with Testa Park Moon-dae, that is, Ryu Gun-woo, to see if there were any problems.

But it was impossible.

'... uh?'

And instead, I saw a bright red warning window. 'Status Failed' pop-up.

"... !!"

I swear, the big moon wasn't vigilant after returning to reality. In the first place, Park Moon-dae also gave hostages separately.

-Do you feel like you are resonating with the system like before? It seemed to be absorbed.

Naturally, he also carefully checked the system, worried that it might still be there. But he didn't look like that... .

- No, I don't feel like that anymore!

-yes. thank god.

Suddenly, a status ailment failed.

If so, if so... isn't it dying

Geonwoo's older brother.

'Uh, what should I do?'

Still, the powerful presence of the system was not felt. But things have already happened.

Even as her hair turned white, the big moon worked hard.

And miraculously, it came to mind. The clear congratulatory title he gave to Moondae Park.

"... !"

Abnormal status permanently suspended! Completely ignoring it, this situation where the abnormal status failure popped up is a contradiction!

'How to dig into this... .'

Past experience has shown that systems can work through these logical flaws. Besides, because he was the status window itself in the first place.

'Maybe it's possible!'

He gritted his teeth and began digging through the status window nervously.

* * *

"... So, instead of a status abnormality, I tried to change the disaster as lightly as possible with a mission failure. And in the process, after trying so many times, he poured all his mind into the status window and lost his body."

"Yes Yes... "

A bench in front of the broadcasting station building at sunset.

It seems quite peaceful to sit around and listen to the story without any other interruptions.

Except there isn't a single ant cub around.

I sat on the bench and saw the big moon gratefully accepting and drinking the water offered by Kim Rae-bin.

We are still in the front yard of the broadcasting station with no one around.

And it's a very positive situation to have this guy come to his senses and have my guess confirmed right, but other than that, I still don't know what the situation is.

'What else is this reward window?'

I just glanced at the pop-up that popped up at the same time as the big moon came to my senses.

[Complete Mission Failed Scenario]

Victory: Player Park Moon-dae (Ryu Gun-woo)

Reward: 1 shard of ■■■ (1/4)

There are so many things I want to ask about, from scenarios to victory and fragments, but there is a reason I can't.

"... Mmm."

There are eight people who are blind all around right now.

In addition, one guy even slightly raised his hand and intervened.

It's a big sejin

"Well, I'm sorry to hear such a personal story, but anyway, since we went through all of this together, I'm asking."

"Yes Yes!"

"Then now, Park Moon-dae knows that this happened to target him and that he might die right away... You mean you knew?"

"... ... ."

In an instant, the atmosphere cooled. I averted my gaze.

'You escaped because you didn't tell me. Fuck you.'

this is a bit embarrassing

Fortunately, there was a guy who stood up for me.

"Moondae-hyung suffered a lot. I understand you losing. He wanted people to be safe."

It is surprising that Cha Yoo-jin made the most mature judgment.

"But understanding and understanding are not synonymous words. Your brother's behavior is too cruel!"

"... ... ."

It was a build-up.

"The situation turned so fast that I couldn't even think about it. I couldn't ask anyone, so I couldn't tell you because I wasn't sure."

I quietly explained the situation.

"I moved hard because I wanted to live, and I didn't do it with the thought of sacrificing for others."

"... ... ."

The atmosphere calmed down a bit. Big Sejin wiped his face with his hand, and eventually surrendered.

"okay. It was a lot of trouble."

"... !"

great.

I quickly looked at the big moon before the backlash came in from around me. Just in time, the next questioner appeared.

"I have a question too."

It is the main stage.

That guy is the most interesting guy here.

"Then, is this place like the mental world you created last time?"

Is this what you're even curious about?

The big moon readily replied.

"No, not really. Reality is true here too... Because my brother successfully escaped, there was no penalty for collapsing the building. So this reality will soon disappear!"

"... !"

Here's the explanation.

Originally, I had to be hit until the last building collapsed to complete the 'mission failure penalty'.

'But I avoided that.'

Thanks to that, the penalty was deleted, and retroactively, the fact of the 'collapse of the building', which was a penalty for mission failure from the beginning, was eliminated.

'I think I'm talking bullshit, knowing the circumstances.

"Well, maybe maybe the system goes back to the past, it seems to have a similar power, getting rid of reality and starting over from the past... ."

"... !"

And there was one other person here besides me who could understand that.

I looked back at Cheongnyeol. The guy just listened to the words with no expression.

The big moon continued to explain.

It is said that perhaps because these guys got out of the building at the same time as me, they did not go back to the past and stayed here.

"... Anyway, so soon you'll be leaving and going back to where the building didn't collapse! Like everyone else."

"Oh oh."

"That's nice, really."

In any case, the conclusion seemed to be to their liking, as anyone could see, the speckled guys who had escaped from the disaster nodded their heads with a much calmer face.

And the questioner himself was amazed.

"Yeah, kind of... If you choose one of the parallel worlds, the rest are discarded."

"... ! Do you understand?"

"On a theoretical level, yes. If necessary, I can recommend some related materials."

I pretended not to see that Cha Yoo-jin muttered a short 'Nerd' next to Kim Rae-bin.

Liu Cheng-wu gently asked the big moon again.

"Then when can we go back?"

"uh... Now!"

"... !"

and the next moment.

[---]

The figures sitting on the bench disappeared as if evaporating.

But I didn't disappear.

Instead, I saw the big moon taking a deep breath and looking at me.

"Anyway, I have something I need to say to my brother. I sent it a little early!"

That's a pretty unique idea.

But the problem is that not all of them are gone.

"Well, I see the countdown."

"Ugh."

"Looks like you still have the GM authority."

Cheong-rye was still sitting on another bench.

And I checked the countdown he was talking about.

[100 seconds until the scenario is deleted]

It must mean 100 seconds until this place disappears. Then there's no room.

"Just don't bother and tell me quickly. It seems like we don't have enough time for the countdown."

"Yes. Yes."

I'll leave the other questions, starting with the viability of the system, for later, and I'll have to listen to what this guy has to say.

Keundal opened his mouth with a tone that seemed to be trying to stay calm.

"brother."

yes.

"If we go back like this, it will probably be before the building collapses... It must have happened before that."

"... ?"

the day before that?

And I realized a beat late.

"The reason I started interfering was after my brother was threatened with his life due to a status abnormality failure for the first time."

First abnormal status failure signal flare.

The big moon swallowed and spoke lowly.

"If you go out, it will be the point where the set is pouring over you from the stage."

"... ... ."

"That was right, right? I avoided it, but it's still dangerous, so I thought I'd be able to avoid it again if I knew this... I thought I should tell you."

I realized there

'They don't know I was hurt then.'

This guy is just a little nervous because he thinks I safely dodged the first one.

"I get it. Just in case, I'll be more careful and avoid it."

"... Yes."

I looked at Cheongnyeo to mean to shut up, but soon realized that this guy had to worry about himself too.

"... The collapse of the stage set will hurt you too, so why don't you think about how to respond from now on."

Isn't it a donation concert hosted by VTIC? The moment accidents and events are linked by keywords, it will become a mess.

But Chung-rye laughed... no, i didn't laugh

The boy opened his mouth with an expressionless expression.

"Why don't you worry about yourself?"

"... ... ."

No, even if you pay attention... well, that's it It's true that my nose sleeps three.

"Protect your head first and foremost."

"uh. I know everything."

I took a deep breath and reviewed my actions going forward. Fortunately, time runs out before Big Moon notices the strange appearance.

"The countdown is almost over."

"Yes... ."

I read the numbers

3.

2.

One.

And when you blink your eyes

"Park Moon-dae... !"

I was running on stage again.

Instead of the musty air from the dust pouring from the cracks, you can feel the smell of dry ice on the stage and the warmth of the harsh lighting heating up the air-conditioned air.

'come.'

And devices that fall upwards.

Wooded Deuk!!

But this time, with a clear mind, I know exactly what to do.

I don't know how far it falls.

'More quickly... !'

Instead of running aimlessly this time, I accelerated and slipped.

to warm your thighs.

Cuckoo coo coo!

in the roar.

It turns into rubble with a chilling sound behind it. A scream rang out.

"Aww!"

"Ouch!"

And,

"Hoo-wook."

The moment my sliding stopped, I knew where I was.

It was backstage, completely off the stage.

"... ... ."

I looked back.

Then I saw the stage equipment that was smashed and collapsed, but this time... It's as far as my height.

complete avoidance.

'It's a success.'

My back and ribs don't hurt like before.

waited a little longer

My thighs are hot from friction, but that's all.

That was it.

"you!"

The members who appeared around the backstage with shocked faces suddenly came running in relief.

And the building doesn't collapse or shake any more there.

"after"

I stretched out without a circle and lay down.

There are still many unanswered questions and problems to ponder, but I couldn't help laughing.

"Smile?"

'I lived.'

No one died, no one got hurt, and got out.

* * *

Things went oddly after that.

Of course, as soon as the audience received their smartphones and evacuated, they posted all sorts of articles on social media and articles appeared one after another.

[SBC Station Stage Collapse (Breaking News)]

['Unprecedented Stage Collapse'] No casualties... All safe]

Ties were chosen terribly, but the original article is like that. Fortunately, no one was hurt, so the public repercussions didn't seem to last long.

No matter how big the collapse was, there is no stage proof photo because all the smartphones were taken away.

But it's not even a human accident? Then the actual shelf life is shortened.

I was wondering if the pre-recording schedule would be rescheduled somewhere else... .

[Testa member Park Moon-dae, who avoided a stage accident by a hair's breadth... "I plan to recuperate"]

Who are you?

- He looks like he's being threatened by a steel frame every time he sees an article.

-Park Moondae Isn't it necessary to do a trick soldering?

-I heard you ran out onto the stage, but why are you doing that all of a sudden? Who did you want to let go of? Stage manager?

└ People almost died, but there is a bastard who comments like this

└ Good-looking idols who earn a lot of money, why would they gamble on their lives?

I don't know who leaked it, but thanks to that, the brakes were put on the activity. Thank you very much.

Moreover, since then, the arrow has returned to whom due to the collapse of the stage equipment, and we have yet to see how VTIC responded to the situation.

because... .

Because I am like this now.

"I want to contact the company... ."

"Um, just lie down. Get some rest."

"... ??"

"Sah, do you want to eat an apple, Moondae? ?"

Yes.

... I've been in the hospital for a week.

For reference, there were no injuries other than a minor laceration to the thigh.

Even that got better in two days.

'why.'

"I am discharged... ."

"Ah, they say you can't be a doctor~"

"No, that's right."

"... ... ."

Where did these bastards come from kissing and telling obvious lies... .

'driving me crazy.'

And so the forced break began.

Episode 435

Are you hospitalized when there are no injuries?

Thanks to the traits 'Bacchus' and 'Nectar', the days of having to deceive people with superhuman resilience are over, but I didn't know that I would do such a thing.

'no.'

It seems that my brain is degenerating like this. I said, putting down the ebook reader Bae Se-jin brought me as a 'gift'.

It was at this point that four days had passed since he was hospitalized.

"There is also a problem of lack of hospital beds, but isn't it a little harsh to use it like this?"

"Ah~ It's a special room here, so it's rarer to have a complete room."

"I'd rather go home anyway."

"Moondaemun University, even if you tell me, I am not a medical staff. Do you understand that I have no choice?"

"... ... ."

this heinous... for a moment. Could this bastard copy what I did when the building collapsed?

I looked at Sejin in awe, but left the room with a big smile.

"Relax~"

"... ... ."

Let's catch the next guy.

Surprisingly, Rabin Kim came to visit the hospital in the evening with a turntable capable of playing LPs.

"Classical music is said to help calm the mind and body!"

I will avoid the latest music.

To anyone who seemed to have consciously blocked the topics of 'album' and 'activity' from his brain, he took a logical approach.

"It's strange that I'm in the hospital even though I'm not sick."

"As you have been through a very dangerous situation, they say you will have to wait a few more days."

Kim Rae-bin really seemed to believe that. It seems that a few guys made a really plausible justification because of conspiracies.

"You can do that at the dorm, honestly, it's a waste of money."

"You don't have to worry about that. The company says it will be covered!"

"It is a structure in which net profit decreases by that amount when expenses are processed, and eventually our settlement amount decreases."

"... ??"

For a moment, question marks and exclamation marks passed across Kim Rae-bin's face, but he nodded as if he understood.

Did it work?

"it's okay! I believe that all the members will not mind spending that much for hyung's peaceful rest."

"... ... ."

The halo of the copyright holder was visible on the face of the guy who said he would pay for it if he really cared about it.

I lay back on the bed, enduring a long sob.

next batter.

"All my muscles will disappear. I need to get back to my routine soon."

"yes?"

Ryu Chung-woo, who visited in the morning, responded positively to Jebib. I was thinking of slowly building up from here, but... .

Nom reserved a one-person exercise room next to the hospital's rehab room.

"... ... ."

Come to think of it, if the company paid for the hospital room, this guy, the leader, would have convinced me.

In fact, he was trying to build up to the guy who was the instigator of this situation. can you get through

"Facility was good. Oh, if you want to write longer, tell me."

done.

I gave up and went to the balloon.

Let's lower body... .

"I am self-employed."

"Self-employed."

"Whatever."

Cha Yoo-jin, who was sitting in the caregiver's seat, shrugged and chewed the whole apple. I gritted my teeth and spoke lowly.

"Anyway, ask for a smartphone."

"I don't have one. Watch it on your smart TV."

"... ... ."

Needless to say, I burst into anger at the special room with 4 OTTs installed.

There is no delay as the Wi-Fi works so well. And it's a situation where you can't use that exploding Wi-Fi for internet purposes.

'It's over the line.'

I asked for a smartphone from the manager I saw two days ago, but the excuse that came back was obvious.

-There is a doctor's advice that it may adversely affect your mental health, so I ask you to exercise a little restraint.

'It's a trick.'

Too much was too much.

"But you have to be patient."

"... ... ."

[You already know, right? You're in a situation where you need to get the most important thing back. trust.]

yes.

I pressed my temples.

To be honest, it's not that difficult to catch the pod in this ridiculous situation and get discharged.

The difficult thing is the persuasion process to convince the people around me that I will be discharged.

But this time it was hard to ignore it. After all, they've been trapped in a collapsing building because of me...

'I must have been nervous that I might have searched.'

If you think this is your own revenge in a situation where you are not willing to consult with anyone because everything has happened, you will not.

... But.

"How much should that be?"

No, how long do you think you're going to keep it here? When do you release your album, when do you prepare for the end of the year, and when do you plan your next year's activities?

There is a limit to being patient by looking at the atmosphere.

Still, I decided to exercise my last patience.

"Hey."

"What."

"At least tell me how it goes outside."

You can endure a few days just by gathering information. Cha Yujin shrugged her shoulders.

"No big deal. [No terrorism, no buzz, um, I think I've only seen casual car accidents in headlines? Oh, and bank fraud."

"... not like that"

Who asked about current affairs in modern society?

"How is the public opinion on the Internet in our group or VTIC going?"

"I don't know. That's not my interest."

I was ready to clenched my fist, but I calmly imagined Cha Yoo-jin exploring the internet community and SNS.

And he admitted that he didn't like it.

Let's find the next hitter.

I listened to jazz on LPs all afternoon and relieved my stress with detective stories.

And meeting Bae Se-jin who visited in the evening... .

"no."

"... ... ."

Bae Se-jin avoided her gaze.

"... I can recommend more books."

Not required.
