Masatetsu's last hope was to pray that the reason why Aota did not reply to his text message was because he was busy following Charlie, or perhaps having a fierce fight with Charlie.
Anyway, it would be fine as long as he was still alive.
Second junior picked up his cell phone and immediately tried calling Aota.
As a result, a series of prompts appeared on the cell phone, telling him that the other party’s cell phone might not be connected due to temporary lack of signal. 4
Second junior started breaking out in cold sweat. 4
He hurriedly told Masatetsu, "Senior, I cannot get through to Aota’s phone...”
"How can that be?” Masatetsu stood up immediately and blurted out, "Aota’s cell phone is always on standby around the clock. How can we be unable to get through suddenly?” 4
Third junior had a panicked look on his face as he said, “Senior, do you think that Aota has already encountered a mishap?”
Second junior replied with certainty, "Something terrible must have happened! Otherwise, Aota would not be acting so abnormally." 4
After that, he looked at Masatetsu before he said," Senior, we have to go and look for him!”
"Look for him?” Masatetsu's face twisted into a grimace and said, "We don't even know where we should start looking for him. If Aota really encountered a mishap, even if we tried to look for him, he might have already become a corpse. If we tried looking for him so recklessly, we might expose ourselves as well..." 3
"What should we do then?!" Third junior asked," Senior, we cannot possibly just sit awaiting our doom, right?”
Masatetsu gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, we cannot possibly just sit awaiting our doom! Both of you should go downstairs and keep watch first. I will g o and install a bug in that Oskian’s room. Let me know immediately when they come back.” 5
Second junior asked eagerly, "Senior, what is the point of installing a bug now? We should be looking for Aota's whereabouts now!”
