Debut or Die

Chapter 430

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 430

Knock.

The sound of dripping water echoed through the dark hallway.

“The electricity must have gone out.”

“I’m glad the emergency lights came on, though.”

While I was treating my back in the waiting room and changing my top, perhaps even the flickering lights went out, and the hallway on the second floor became bleak.

‘The wall in one corner even collapsed… .’

It was dangerous. At least, thanks to the flashlight Kim Rae-bin brought, I was able to walk slowly.

“It’s nothing. support… .”

“Because it’s okay.”

It shouldn’t have slowed down any further here. I even had to walk.

And after a while, I saw reality in front of the stairs leading to the backstage.

“hmm.”

A chunk of concrete could be seen through the gap where the ceiling material had collapsed on the stage and had been ripped open.

“I got stuck when I heard that second collapsing sound.”

It means that when the hallway on the third floor where I was was destroyed, this place was also destroyed.

‘The first time the stage set collapsed, I guess they told me not to come because it was dangerous.’

Anyway, if you clean up stones to go here, it will eat up for an hour without hesitation, so throw it away without any regrets.

In the end, there is only one way to go.

“We have to go down this way.”

I went to the place where Seon Ah-hyun caught me earlier.

The side of the hallway right next to the stage where one side of the wall had completely collapsed and was pierced through.

“… … .”

I shined down with a flashlight.

Hui-i-

yi- The space expands and the suffocating and cool air touches you.

I could see the remains of the collapsed stage, but everything that was going to collapse had already collapsed, so it looked pretty stable.

“Let’s go down here for now.”

on the collapsed stage.

The stage was huge, encompassing the first floor with audience seats and the second floor with stage equipment.

And the second floor was divided in half centered on the stage, and the right side here where the waiting room is is blocked from going upstairs.

Well, in the end, singers and agency employees are all outsiders, so it was the right design to not connect the upper floors used by those involved, but we were stuck.

‘So, in the end, there is no other way to move.’

Let’s write.

I grabbed what I had prepared in the waiting room.

It is a temporary rope made by twisting and tying thick curtains that were hung in the waiting room for the purpose of changing clothes.

It caught my eye while I was changing clothes.

“Would it be okay with a larger curtain?”

“It’s okay because I twisted it several times.”

Meanwhile, time continued to tick.

[00:33:12]

“33 minutes left. Time is running out, so we have to see if we can move somehow.”

“… … .”

Just to seize the chance to prevent another crazy accident of the building collapsing here.

Kim Rae-bin opened his mouth with a determined face.

“I will go first.”

“No, my… … .”

“Yes! I’ll catch you… !”

“thank you!”

“… … .”

yes do it your way I guess I’ll have to bend over so I can catch it.

Kim Rae-bin asked as he watched Seon Ah-hyun fixing the other side of the curtain with her waist tightly tied.

“Dae-hyung Moon, do you know how exactly the unit of an hour is measured?”

“I want to know that too.”

“It’s an uncertain situation.”

Kim Rae-bin nodded and carefully stepped down from the edge of the concrete.

“If the building collapses in exactly one hour, it sounds like someone predicted that the building would collapse rather than a prediction, so I asked.”

look at this guy

“… Let’s go downstairs and talk. be careful.”

“yes!”

Indeed, he was sharp in theory.

Even earlier, it was clear that he was holding back from wanting to ask a question, “How does the status window know such a thing?”

‘When the system says it’s after me… It will bother you.”

It wasn’t because he blamed me, but because he overprotected or worried unnecessarily, things couldn’t go ahead.

‘Let’s shut up.’

After Kim Rae-bin, I carefully descended onto the wreckage of the stage.

And after confirming that the last Seon Ah-hyun landed safely, I turned my head and looked at the audience… …

“… … .”

“… Who are you?”

There was no answer from the spectator seats covered in dust and darkness.

[—-]

Only a small echo echoes.

I felt uncomfortable…

‘Why are there no people?’

Earlier, when I met a fan who was a graduate student, he said with a nuance that there were other people besides himself who couldn’t get out of it.

‘In the first place, if someone came down from the collapsed stage with flashlights shining on it, the people in the audience would of course react.’

It was quite disconcerting that there was no sound or reaction.

“It’s nothing. first… I will find a way.”

“… yes.”

I grabbed the rope made from the curtain and carefully descended from the stage. And the result of examining it spilled in all directions of the dark audience seats.

‘… The door is pressed.’

As the graduate student said, the evacuation routes were all blocked. It is probably the shape that has been twisted and depressed because the weight balance has collapsed.

‘If you try to open it by force, but it collapses, there is no answer.’

There seemed to be no way out to the lobby on the first floor.

And there is no one else besides us.

“The big moon that Moon Dae-hyung is looking for must have come as an audience member, so it seems highly likely that he has already escaped.”

“Yeah, but I’m sure that Mundae will remain… If that’s the case, wouldn’t the fact that you’re not here mean that you’ve moved somewhere else?”

“Have you ever seen someone else, Moondae hyung?”

have seen

“… There was a fan on the other side of the emergency stairs.”

“… !!”

“We talked through the collapsed wall, but the room I was in collapsed, so I don’t know where he went after that.”

Concerns and doubts flashed across their faces, but they gave realistic answers first.

“Then you might have gone up.”

okay.

However, the emergency exit leading to the emergency stairway on the other side, which I and the graduate students used, was also half-blocked with debris.

“a moment ago… When the mumundae falls, it seems to be clogged with debris then.”

isolation.

[00:26:51]

In the meantime, the time went down to less than 30 minutes.

‘… Let’s stay calm.’

Panic doesn’t help. use your head

‘I think it would be too dangerous to clear the emergency stairs in 20 minutes.’

In the meantime, would it be better to somehow forcefully open the door and let these guys come out?

I held back my sleep. And I saw the darkness beyond the half-exposed emergency stairs.

just can’t get past too narrow

‘All three of us are tall, so no.’

I’d rather scream… Could it adversely affect the building?

‘I just need to be able to communicate somehow.’

I wish I could do a broadcast… for a moment.

“… Rabin.”

“yes?”

I lowered my gaze.

Evacuation routes were all blocked, but there was still one place to move.

The place where the staff resides while preparing for filming. The place where I ran out of panic.

backstage.

And that’s what I remember while filming.

‘I also prepared new equipment for the shoot this time.’

“Can you use a drone?”

“… ??”

This broadcasting station tried to shoot with a new product in hopes of doing a new technology PPL.

There were one or two flying around during our filming, and I saw the wreckage in front of the stage earlier.

‘then.’

Wouldn’t there be one or two spares?

I went into a kind of simple editing room that manages temporary stage transmissions backstage.

It was dark here as well, without lights, but it was obvious where to put such heavy and expensive equipment.

“… yes.”

And I found it right away, not too late. A drone in a box that had already been ripped open under the desk.

I picked up a drone.

“Let’s send this through the emergency stairs.”

“What a strange idea! I didn’t know that Moon Dae-hyung would have a hobby for drones.”

“doesn’t exist.”

“… ?”

I grabbed Kim Rae-bin’s shoulder.

“I believe you can do it.”

“… … .”

Isn’t he a guy who has mastered music equipment and various electronic devices? I believe that with amazing creativity and intuition, you can do this too.

“I will do my best… .”

okay.

“Hey there, the computer doesn’t turn on… … “

Let’s do it with a laptop.”

It’s a shame, but the internet wasn’t caught, but the drone has its own cellular system built into it, so it doesn’t work… possible.

then.

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuu]

“… ! It’s possible!”

Kim Rae-bin quickly went through the drone manual, picked up the joystick, and with her eyes shining, connected the drone in an instant and activated the drone.

“That’s great, Rabin… !”

“Yeah, that’s great.”

“no! Luckily, it was already connected to the laptop. Then we’ll move right in front of the emergency stairs!”

“Yes!”

‘… Is it a waste to only be an idol?’

I briefly thought about this guy’s abilities, but now wasn’t the time to think about things like this.

[00:17:52]

Time was cut in half again in the meantime.

‘Whoa.’

I clenched my fists and headed for the emergency stairs.

Sigh.

Open the iron door and Seon Ah-hyun fixes it with one foot.

Kim Rae-bin sat down holding a joystick.

“then… I will send it.”

“okay.”

[Wheeying-]

A drone flew through the black darkness.

“Fortunately, I have enough batteries, so the attached lights are doing their job.”

“I know… !”

In the camera linked to the laptop, you can see the screen of a drone driven by a beginner tilting and holding it awkwardly. Climb the stairs quickly and see the light… .

“There is a hole in the wall here.”

‘… You were standing here.’

This is the hole in the wall I was talking to the graduate student earlier.

Now, instead of the furnishings room that leans into the air on the stage and touches the wall on the third floor, the light from the drone simply crosses the air.

“… … .”

On the other side of it, there was a road connected to the backstage on the other side where I came out of the stage equipment, but it is an iron door, so I can’t open it with a drone.

… where did you go

“Let’s keep going.”

“yes.”

Let’s find some traces of people.

So, when you turn the corner on the railing at the top of the dark stairs colored by blue emergency exit lights and red fire hydrant lights and look up… .

“… … .”

“… I am blocked.”

thud.

Above it is again clogged with debris from the third floor entrance.

This is the floor where the furnishings room I entered earlier was located.

It seemed to be blocked by the shock of the floor collapsing.

“… … .”

The search is over. Without any trace or income.

“ah… .”

“What would you like me to do?”

[00:15:47]

X-shot.

I swallowed and worked my brain as hard as I could.

If your stomach is blocked… .

“Let’s go underground.”

“ah!”

Emergency stairs will lead to the underground parking lot.

Psychologically, people may have been reluctant to go down underground from a collapsing building, so they could have gone upstairs, but rationally, it is possible to escape that way as well.

If there was a parking lot, it would have been designed to withstand the load well, and the entrance was large, so it might not have collapsed.

‘Keundal could have remembered that.’

“Then I will go there.”

[00:14:25]

The drone flies again. Let’s go down and down… .

“… !”

“The door is open!”

Surprisingly, you can see an iron door artificially held by using a fire extinguisher.

‘I prepared for the collapse and the door to be twisted.’

“Looks like someone… !”

“Yes, let’s go in!”

Kim Rae-bin carefully moved the joystick with his impatient hand.

Hazard lights flash through the laptop screen.

There was a corridor beyond the iron gate, but no matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look like a road leading to an underground parking lot… .

It seemed like a space used by facility management staff, but I’m not sure because it was dark. There must be a resting room or a CCTV room.

‘Could everyone evacuate this way?’

But there are no traces of people… for a moment.

“that.”

“oh!”

“It’s like a person.”

At the end of the hallway, next to the rugged gray door, I saw something. As soon as Kim Rae-bin saw it, he moved the drone faster and approached… .

“… ??”

“… !?”

man was right however… .

“Seniors?”

It was a cast iron.

The guy standing in front of the door as if he were a sentry makes eye contact as if he had checked the drone, makes a mysterious expression, then puts his chin on his head and nods. Why isn’t this kid surprised… no more than that

‘Why are you here?’

Since VTIC was in the waiting room, we should have been able to get out right away… No, come to think of it, these guys were also in the waiting room and couldn’t get out.

I looked back at Seon Ah-hyun and Kim Rae-bin, but they were also in a state of infatuation with the seniors with whom they had indirectly contacted out of the blue.

‘driving me crazy.’

[00:12:46]

I alternated between the remaining time in the pop-up window and the notebook’s cycle.

‘Let’s think. If you think… .’

Then all of a sudden, when your head seems to be overloaded. A bell rang from behind.

[DING-DING-]

“… !”

No, it’s not like the ringing of a smartphone… This.

“Announcement… ?”

The moment I heard Seon Ah-hyun’s voice, I took my eyes off the laptop screen and raised my head.

Loud voices from the speakers hanging everywhere next to the collapsed stage spread throughout the audience.

[This is a guide to those who are still in the building. The vibration seems to have almost stopped. However, actions such as breaking the door can be dangerous.] [

You can wait for the rescue team in a safe place, such as near the emergency stairs or the central pillar in the bathroom.]

It was a calm and articulate male voice. .

No matter who hears it, it’s the right voice to come out as an announcement in an emergency situation.

The problem is that it’s a voice I know.

And it’s a voice that even the guys next to me know.

“… Sesejin hyung?”

That’s Sejin Bae.

Why is that bastard not going out and broadcasting over there?!
