Guide Me If You Dare-Chapter 285: KIDNAPPERS’ DEMANDS?

YUNO kind of felt helpless after his ’students’ said that it was impossible for them to copy what he had just done.

But we’re all Guides here...

Was it the difference in class that was the problem?

As if on cue, his personal Status Window popped up.

[Correct. Only E-Class Guides can do what you just did, Guide Noh Yuno.]

Haaah.

"Can I try?" Jericho asked excitedly, raising a hand. "I’ve already seen you work twice, Yuno. I want to see if I’m as capable as you as a fellow E-Class Guide."

The people around them who didn’t know about Jericho’s real class all looked shocked.

I guess Jericho-nim has no reason to hide his class anymore.

"Go ahead, sir," Yuno said, pointing to the other zombie on the table. "Please do as I did earlier. Will you be fine without the Items I have?"

"I think so," Jericho said while washing his hands using the travel soap and bottled water that he pulled out of his Inventory. "Let me just wash my hands first."

Yuno nodded, and then he looked at the Artificial Core that he had just extracted.

Half of it was corrupted, as expected.

Can normal Guides purify it?

Yuno didn’t know why, but he just felt like the Artificial Cores still had some use.

Hmm.

"Luca-ssi, Sajangnim, can you try purifying the Artificial Core with your Mana?" Yuno asked curiously. "I think it’s something that other Guides could do."

Seeing that the System didn’t object, it seemed like it was plausible.

Jericho-nim and I fainted when we tried to purify Osaki Shohei’s Core, but it’s because his Core was genuine.

"I’ll try," Lucca said, and then he politely pointed at the Artificial Core with both hands while looking at Moon Noa. "Please go ahead first, sir."

Right.

Moon Noa was an S-Class Guide, after all.

He’s the boss of Guides.

"Alright, I’ll go first," Moon Noa said while rolling up his sleeves. "I just have to use my Mana as if I’m guiding an Esper, correct?"

Yuno nodded. "Yes, Sajangnim."

While Moon Noa and Lucca talked about how they would split the task, Yuno’s Status Window popped up again.

[Guide Noh Yuno, the result of the virus that we analyzed is out.

Please find a doctor or Healer that you can trust.]

Oh, that task was easy.

Yuno immediately looked at Lee Woonhak. "Woonhak Hyung-nim, I need your help."

"DON’T WORRY, Boss Oppa! I got kidnapped with Baekho Oppa!"

Aigoo.

Ki Gayoon pinched the bridge of his nose.

He had actually been wondering why he couldn’t contact Baekho.

The last time he saw his right-hand man was when he asked him and Kang Dabin to look for Noh Yuno.

It was around the time his lover was kidnapped.

"Baekho Hyung and I got separated because he got an emergency call. I didn’t get to ask what the emergency was since he was in a hurry. After that, I got busy dealing with the other stuff that you asked me to do in secret."

That was what Kang Dabin told Ki Gayoon when Ki Gayoon asked about Baekho.

I expected them to come here together, after all.

So, hearing that Baekho and Yu Minju got kidnapped was infuriating.

"Woah, dude. Calm down," 17, who hadn’t left his side yet, said cheerfully. "Your Guide is still recovering. Are you going to waste his energy by making him guide you when he already has too much on his plate?"

Haaah.

Ki Gayoon ignored 17, but he did his best to calm down.

After all, he didn’t want Noh Yuno to waste his energy on him.

"Boss Oppa, don’t worry too much. The Madam’s siblings are treating us well. In fact, they’re willing to let us go now that we’ve completed the device that we need!"

"What’s the catch?" Ki Gayoon asked coldly. "I wasn’t born yesterday."

There was no free thing in this apocalyptic world anymore.

Yu Minju suddenly fell silent.

And then...

"We’re going to let Yu Minju and Baekho go, but we want a private conversation with Noh Yihun."

It was a voice of a woman, but that was definitely not Yu Minju.

Moreover, only people from Noh Yuno’s past still addressed him as Noh Yihun.

"If you want to talk to someone, then talk to me," Ki Gayoon said coldly. "I’ll never let you see Noh Yuno—"

"Alright, you’ll do." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Huh?

Ki Gayoon was under the impression that Noh Yuno’s ’sibling’ wouldn’t accept his offer.

Not that I wasn’t serious with what I said.

He was just simply taken aback that the enemies agreed.

"We’ll let you trade places with our hostages, Ki Gayoon-ssi."

***

YUNO handed all the Items that the System gave to him to Lee Woonhak, and then Lee Woonhak quickly went to the corner of the room and began his new task.

Those Items would, apparently, tell them what the virus was.

However, the result could only be deciphered by a doctor or a Healer.

It’s a job for Woonhak Hyung-nim.

Yuno then looked at his ’students.’

Jericho was still in the process of opening a portal on the zombie’s chest in order for his hands to stab through the chest without spilling blood.

On the other hand, Moon Noa had already started purifying the Artificial Core.

Lucca was watching closely and taking notes literally.

They’re all doing well.

Everyone was focused on their tasks, so it was only Yuno who turned his head when he heard a knock on the door.

He didn’t want to disrupt everyone’s concentration.

Hence, he quickly went out of the room and closed the door behind him gently.

"Hello, Yuno."

It was 17.

"Jericho-nim is busy with the task I gave him, Hyung-nim. If you have a message for him, I can relay it for you."

"Oh, I’m here for you, though?"

"What can I help you with, Hyung-nim?"

"I’m actually here to snitch," 17 said, grinning. "Gayoon left to meet your ’siblings.’"

Yuno’s eyes widened in shock. "That reckless Hyung...!"
