If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 178
Some time later. The point at which time cannot be measured because of the blackout curtains.
“Let’s wrap things up from here. Was your junior’s participation in < Idol Inc. > a good choice?”
Cheong-ryeo, who sat across from her again, calmly explained while writing down keywords in a notebook.
“It is highly efficient to pass the initial mission right away. My junior must have chosen the next mission without knowing its existence… That’s a great judgement.”
thank you not at all
“But in the long run, it’s a disappointing choice. Because the image was consumed too much in a short period of 5 years… The company has no system and it is unclear whether the contract will be renewed.”
Cheongryeo gave a weak smile.
“If you are confident that you can get past the initial stage, it is better to skip the survival program.”
“….”
“When I restart, it comes back to LeTi. I’ll put you in a position where you can debut right away.”
I think I can hear the inner thoughts of ‘if my team fails again, I’ll keep it nearby so I can reset it right away’.
I held back a snort.
‘Correction’ is disabled in the condition window that causes the reset of the ‘bastard”’s status window
.
In other words, the way to restart by dying is already blocked.
And this bastard, who grasped the concept of ‘If the mission fails, you die and return’, must have guessed that now that the mission is over, you can’t go back even if you die.
That’s why you want to use me… I’m a bit stuck here.
‘How can I be so sure?’
Why are you so sure that when I die, I will start over? Even a madman fanatic about this?
I’d love to dig into this and shake it off a bit, but the timing wasn’t good.
‘If you do, it’s Ohama Gak.’
It’s not good to provoke this bastard right now.
‘Anyway, you have no intention of leaving this life voluntarily. Then try a taste of ohamma’
because I don’t know what to hit.
So I have to believe the other corner.
My vantage point that this guy doesn’t know and only I know.
my status bar. those are the characteristics.
‘Let’s think.’
Before that, I’ll get angry and grind my teeth, so give me an answer like this.
“So, if you debut in LeTi and there is another problem with your career, reset it again. Is this the purpose?”
“no. No way.”
…Cheong-rye had a slightly embarrassed face.
“I’m sorry this time. As my juniors have heard, it is because there is no correct answer. If you want, I’ll make sure to help you finish the mission faster next time.”
“….”
“Of course, let’s make a plan together so that group activities can be more convenient and beneficial than now.”
It hurt the most that this seemed to be true right now.
‘If something like this happens again, this bastard will urge you to reset the road.’
Of course, I don’t think I can restart again if I die, but isn’t it obvious anyway. I’ve done it once, I’ll keep doing it.
However, it was more problematic to think that the present situation would be an exceptional one-off in this madman’s accident circuit and that he had provided me with a sufficient compensation plan.
‘It feels like it’s not such a big deal.’
Since the reference point is different, I think that forcing a reset once is just a bit embarrassing and apologetic. Of course, I can’t hear any more.
I sighed and got up from the chair again.
“You seem tired, so let’s stop here for now…Is there anything you want to eat for dinner? I will give it to you if possible.”
First of all, the current time zone is evening. only got one
“doesn’t exist. Why don’t you just let me go so I can take care of myself?”
“That would be difficult. Um, hold on.”
And Cheong-rye left the room on the road.
I didn’t expect it, but seeing that natural reaction, I can’t appeal to my emotions.
…It means that there is no build-up.
‘I hope this works.’
I checked one of my traits that I had singled out in my head during the useless conversation.
[Attribute: Bacchus 500 (B)]
– Clear mind and healthy body!
: All fatigue cumulative speed – 50%
Bacchus 500.
It is a characteristic for maintaining my condition. Thanks to this, I can survive with only one or two hours of sleep for a few days in the week of my comeback.
Of course, I don’t mean to use this to sound like a dream to start searching while that bastard is asleep.
‘It’s dirty and carefully cleaned.’
In the first place, there was nothing in this room. Even the bathroom, which I confirmed with an uncomfortable and funny gesture earlier, only bare facilities remained.
‘It feels like I’ve already done it a few times.’
I don’t know what kind of official he got the information from by threatening the earthen pot during the reset, but it seems like a reasonable guess.
Anyway, so the situation where I will use this characteristic will come at a different timing, not ‘while everyone is asleep’.
‘Wait until then.’
Until he thinks I’ve given up, I watch the situation carefully until he thinks I’ve adapted.
I looked down at the handcuffs and clicked my tongue.
It seemed like it would be a tough vacation.
and a few days after that.
Considering the sleeping interval and meal timing, I guess about four or three days.
In the meantime, I controlled my remarks as if I was slowly sympathizing with the ‘New Life Plan’ so that the suicide recommendation would not become more violent.
It’s like this.
“Does LeTi also start paying after all the trainee fees are charged?”
“no. As soon as there is profit at the time of debut, it starts right away. Are you okay?”
“It’s a nice place. …I have no intention of going, but.”
“haha.”
After repeating this pattern a few times, I start touching the slightly sensitive material to gather information.
“No matter how much I am on vacation, if I don’t hear from you, you will definitely be suspicious. Any contact?”
“well.”
“…Looks like you got a call.”
“Ha ha is it obvious? Don’t worry, I replied moderately. In the tone of your junior.”
“….”
Does this bastard even know my screen lock pattern?
‘It’s about that insurance advertisement.’
At the time, I remembered unlocking my smartphone while taking pictures of the puppy.
‘Damn it.’
I can’t expect outside help until the vacation is over.
Still, I found out that this guy keeps checking my smartphone.
If so, there is a high probability that it is in this house. I decided to keep that in mind.
Even after that, meaningless persuasion and excuses, unfortunately, several days continued with relatively high-quality idol-related tip briefings pouring in.
The time has finally come.
“today…junior?”
“…Seniors.”
third wake. Maybe morning or dawn.
I put my head on the pillow and sighed. The nose and throat where the breath passed through were hot.
My head was heavy. I spoke slowly.
“Do you have any body ailments?”
It was a terrible body aches that came every time I took a break.
This time, in line with the timing of the vacation, the tremendous heat and burden poured into my body.
Even though it wasn’t the timing for me to relax mentally.
‘As expected.’
I mean my guess was correct.
‘I guess it’s a reaction against the physical condition characteristic.’
It was the same for Bacchus, but also for the one-time trait ‘Sleep is to die and sleep’.
It only hurts when I don’t have an ‘activity schedule’ after using those traits to the full every time.
So I set up a hypothesis, but with this one, I’m almost certain.
‘It’s a mechanical classification like the status window intervened.’
It’s only when you take a break from celebrity activities that the burden on your body comes on.
And this painful timing was fully exploitable.
“…approximately?”
To embarrass this bastard.
It would have been difficult to imagine that I would lie down with body aches and not trauma after three or three days.
“for a moment.”
Cheongryeo who came in closed the door again and went out.
‘good.’
First of all, I didn’t say something like, ‘I’m sick, so I just want to die’, so the direction was very good.
‘I was careless.’
The thought that he was in control of the situation made him reflexively relieved. You’re probably already thinking of resetting in a few days as a fait accompli in your head.
Cheongryeo came back with medicine and water in her hands.
It is a drug that can be bought without a prescription.
‘…I’ve prepared household medicine.’
this is a bit disappointing A meticulous psychopath.
“It’s a pain reliever and antipyretic. Eat some.”
contained within the packaging. There was no need to mix other potions, so I took it.
And a little bit of luck
“…Maybe a hospital.”
“I thought it would stand out too much if it were just the two of us. sorry. hmm…If you restart, your body will be fine right away.”
In the end, I came back with these words. Although recommended.
‘I stab now.’
I hesitated, then spoke in a low voice.
“…Again, I actually like the team right now. Even if you start over and build the same team, it will never be the same as it is now. Because the events and stories shared will be different.”
“….”
“I just… Could you please let me go so I can continue to live here? please.”
Well, it was a remark that didn’t fit my personality, but if it hurts, I might change a little emotionally.
In addition, the characteristics exploded at the right time.
[‘Okay, it turns out you’re right (A)’ activates!]
Excellent.
Of course, it does not guarantee persuasion as it is to elicit the ’emotional agitation’ of the other person.
look
“…sorry.”
Cheong-ryeo muttered briefly with a slightly expressionless face.
It seems that there is only a feeling of ‘sorry’. 알겠다 개새끼야.
Exactly as planned.
“….”
I was deliberately silent for a while, then slowly opened my mouth.
“…My head hurts and it’s hard to move, so I go to the bathroom… Please give me a little support up to the front.”
“is it so.”
I knew you wouldn’t refuse.
Cheongryeo held me under my shoulders as if she were helping a person with moderately disabled legs.
The moment your mind wanders and your attention is distracted.
therefore…The moment when you are more conscious of your thoughts than your actions.
‘Now.’
I turned my arms around and put them on Cheongryeo’s head.
“…!”
Then he began to pull the handcuffs around his neck.
“…this!”
The metal between the handcuffs pressed down on the guy’s neck, and of course, the resistance was strong. Even if you change your posture uneasy by pressing all the weight, the price continues to come in.
‘X feet.’
Looks like a broken rib. But you can never let go.
I forcibly twisted my arm and broke his neck.
“…!!”
“Big.”
Anyway, in this condition, you can’t break the neck of a strong adult with both hands inconvenient.
Just press it until this bastard’s mind goes hazy… !
“….”
It’s fucking creepy to turn your eyes away and stare this way even though you’re turning pale because oxygen is blocked… ….
Does not matter.
‘Only as the simulation!’
I twisted the handcuffs one last time and hit him on the back of the head.
puck.
The pressure dissipated with a short, violent sound.
“….”
subdued
“Huh.”
I shuddered and got up.
“Fuck feet really.”
My wrists are all shattered. It’s like a dog, really.
Still, I don’t know the pain because of the euphoria.
I wriggled open the door and went out, fortunately finding a useful blade.
as soon as…it’s a light bulb
Papabak!
The light shattered on the thrown book, and sharp pieces fell to the floor.
It was worse because it was an old product.
“good.”
I cut my hands a few times, but I undid the bundle of cable ties that bound my legs.
Now that it has become easier to escape in case of emergency, we move as planned.
I moved my sore neck. There was still a long way to go.
* * *
“….”
“You’ve come to your senses.”
Cheong-ryeo, who was tied tightly with cable ties to the chair across from her, lifted her head without a moan.
“You bought a lot of extra cable ties.”
“….”
“I prepared plenty of tools, so I was able to remove the handcuffs well.”
I showed my free hands.
“You are thoroughly prepared, senior. Thanks to you, it was comfortable.”
And grinned.
