Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 203. Song Haneul and Connected Calls
Ryou shows the contact number on Seo Garam's phone screen. It says [Song Haneul-sunbae] over there.
“Ryou...you want to contact...Song Haneul-san?”
“True. If it's like this, this is the only way. I don't want to open that damn carrier app. In addition, it would be better if we could hear his voice”
“Ryou correct. That would probably be the fastest way to now” Kaito support Ryou's idea
Kino nodded. After the number was pressed by Ryou, the other two people waited for the response Ryou showed.
Intentionally at that time, Ryou did not use speaker mode because it would be very dangerous if their location was known by the zombies in front of the gate of the dorm building.
It's been almost two minutes but no one has lifted.
“Not lifted” Ryou said as he turned off his phone
“Is there a specific sound?”
“Nothing. Only sound ‘tuut..tuut..’ like that”.
“Voice ‘tuut..tuut...’ it...what sound?” ask Kaito plain
That's no surprise, since the cell phone and everything inside the campus was something new Kaito first saw.
“Oh yes, you don't know yes. That's a voice call. Before connecting there will usually be a sound like that first. Try, you listen to yourself”
Ryou presses Song Haneul's number again and gives it to Kaito, pointing his phone to his ear just like Ryou did before and hearing Ryou's voice.
“There...voice..” Kaito surprised.
“That means the number is trying to connect. But, if no one lifts–”
“Halo?”
“......!!!” Kaito was surprised to hear a voice that sounded in his ear
“Halo?”
“Kino...Ryou..phone...can say hello to me”.
“What?!” the two brothers were surprised
Kaito gives Ryou his phone back and he quickly answers the call.
“Halo? Seo Salt? Hoobae?”
“......!!!” Ryou did not believe what he heard
“What...why does anyone really answer, Kaito-san?”
“There. Female voice”
“Ryou...” Kino saw Ryou's silent face
“This. This..this Song Haneul” Ryou whispered.
Ryou gives Kino his phone and asks him to talk to her.
“Halo? Hoobae, are you safe? Where are you guys doing? What happened to the others? The salt? Seo Salt?!”
“Song...Haneul-san?”
“What? Who's this?”
“Is this really Song Hanuel-san?”
“True. But I don't know your voice. Whoareyou? This is Seo Garam-hoobae's number. What happened to her?! Are you with him?! What about the others? Is anyone safe?!”
The woman's voice seemed to sound so clear, indicating she was in a safe place. But, from his response on the phone it seems he is so panicked now and it is difficult to calm down.
Kino tried to talk to him as calmly as possible.
“Song Haneul-san, introduce my name Yuki Kino. Me...me...”
Kino glanced at the two people who were looking at her with excited faces.
“What does he say?” ask Kaito
“What should I say? I don't want to lie” Kino said frantically while covering the phone screen with her hands
“What do you want to tell him?”
“New want introduction”
“Say we're new students! From the beginning, everyone thought so! O my brother, you need to learn to lie for the good of” Ryou tries to give a little ‘support’
“.....” Kaito who heard that saw Ryou with a flat face
He even commented in his heart.
‘Gosh, she can really teach her brother like that? I'm glad Kino is a good guy. If he's too innocent, I'm sure Ryou has been able to instigate it’
Kino wasn't sure about telling a lie because she was too honest and kind. But, it seems like he has to do it.
“Halo...Yuki Kino, are you still there? What exactly is going on? Why is the signal so bad?! In a time when the world is almost doomsday here..hello...hello...heard I do not?”
Apparently, Song Haneul also slightly misunderstood this situation and Kino used it to divert the conversation.
“Song Haneul-san, has the signal improved?”
“Ah! Thank goodness you're still there, Yuki Kino! Are you with hoobae?”
“I'm with my sister and my best friend. We were at..” Kino glanced back at the two people
Ryou gave a sign for Kino to tell the truth.
“It's okay, just tell me the actual condition” Ryou whispered
“We are now behind a wall that says ‘Guilding Faculty of Fine Arts’. In front of us at the moment, there was a herd of zombies that was overwhelming and filled almost along the way to student dormitory”
“What?! They really are there? Why can?!”
“.....?” Kino was confused by this answer
‘They are really there he said?’ Kino wondered in her heart
The woman's voice spoke to Kino again.
“Seo Salt and others are still alive. They're hiding inside the archive” building
“How many people are alive?”
“In the archive building there are about 28 survivors. Coupled with the three of us so there are 31 people still alive”
“……”
“Song Haneul-san?”
The woman's voice was silent. Kino panicked why there was no talk. Not long after that, we heard the sound of crying from the cell phone. It was Song Haneul's crying voice.
“Hiks...hiks..why is it like this? Hiks..Leon-nim..Seung Chan...”.
“Song Haneul-san..don't cry..” Kino tries to surprise his interlocutor on the phone.
Kaito whispered to Ryou.
“Crying? That woman is crying?”
“It seems so. Kino, you ask me where he is. We need to find out where he is now”
“Song Haneul-san, where are you now? Is the place safe?”
“I...i am now inside the dormitory” building
“What?!” Kino was surprised
“Kino, what does he say?!” ask Kaito
“Dormitory building. Song Haneul-san is inside the dormitory building”
“Hah?! How could he hide there?!” Ryou was no less shocked and shocked like his older brother
“This is not true. Kino, ask how he got into the”
“Song Haneul-san, how can you be in–”
-Tuut.
“Eh?” Kino was surprised
The call is suddenly interrupted and he sees Seo Garam's cell phone.
“The battery runs out”
“What?! Exhausted?! Akh, that fool didn't check his battery back! Can we just throw away the phone?”
“Ryou, don't say that. Relax” the brother tried to calm the sister
“The phone is useless if there is no battery, no internet package, no wifi connected and no games in it. Salt phone has one of those reasons so we just throw it” Ryou said with his rest
“Ryou, please stop talking so”
“Huh! Trouble!” Ryou pouted
“.....” Kaito only sees without comment
Now, they're in trouble and can't do anything.
“At the time we have successfully connected with Song Haneul and know his whereabouts, our communication again interrupted. What should we do now?” ryou asked with a bit of emotion
“I don't know. We cannot go back to the archive building because it is quite far from here” replied Kaito
Kino tried to think for a moment. He was trying to come up with an idea that might not be much different from what Kaito said.
“If one of us goes back to the archive building and two other people stand guard to keep an eye on this place, what do you think?”
“Hah?”
“Communication is very necessary to find out how Song Haneul-san can exist in the building surrounded by zombies. Although they do not move at all, but it needs to be found out. It could be the power of the Kaito-san” gem
“But, isn't that also quite risky?”
Kaito looked at his pocket watch and the time showed at 02.56.
“It's almost three in the afternoon. We've taken too long. If until sunset and night comes, there may be a change in the behavior of zombies that”
“But, I'm not sure we can break inside. Inside the fence there is a dormitory building that is not less spacious than this campus area. From the picture we saw earlier it is known that there are 5 buildings inside. There's no way we're looking for him one by one”
Kino gave a reasonable explanation to Kaito. With a moment of thought, Ryou and Kaito began to consider Kino's proposal.
“This opportunity we can use to go back there because all the zombies were gathered at one point” continued Kino trying to convince
“I agree with Kino. We also do not know where Song Haneul's position with detail” Ryou supports the proposal of the brother
Now, two on one. Kaito had no choice but to agree.
“Good. Then, who wants to run to the archive building?”
“Au” Ryou points to himself
“Ryou?”
“I'd be a lot calmer if Kaito was with you Kino. Had the zombies started attacking you though, with the speed of Kaito's attack that we know all along, I know he could have protected you well”
“Ryou...” Kino looks so anxious
“Again, I have a fast running ability. What good are all the charters and trophies I've been getting? I am very confident in my abilities” Ryou smiled confidently
Not long after, he took back Seo Garam's phone.
“Wait here. I'll be back” soon
Ryou ran away stealthily to get out of there. When the distance was far away, he immediately ran over quickly.
“Ryou...be careful..” murmured the brother with an anxious face.
“Don't worry about Ryou, Kino. Your sister is besides being chatty, she is also reliable. Our job is to make sure they don't move out of place at all. It also affects our luck rate”
Kino fell silent and closed her eyes as she prayed.
‘We-sama, please do not let this plan fail. Please protect Ryou and all of us. Hopefully we can quickly end this disaster as soon as’
