Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: UNINVITED GUESTS (1)

[During the Top 5 Guides’ video call meeting a few days ago...]

"SO, SINCE I pissed off Eun Rina, I’m sure she’ll target me during the party. She’ll probably use Yang Youngjae since I can tell that Yang Youngjae is already under her control. I’m 100% sure they’ll attack me once they get the chance."

Bambi nodded, agreeing with Noh Yuno’s claim. "Yes, that’s what I thought as well. You’re good at pissing off your opponents, after all, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi."

He could see the different reactions of the other four elite Guides on the split screen.

Noh Yuno remained stoic.

Mo Hanjin was, as usual, busy playing a mobile game on his phone.

Kim Jaeha, the youngest, looked flustered as if he was afraid a confrontation would happen.

Only Rebecca showed a lively reaction by laughing out loud while slamming her hands on the table.

I don’t think my silly banter with Noh Yuno is that funny, though.

Anyway...

"Then we don’t have to worry about you even if you become Guide Eun Rina-ssi’s target," Bambi said calmly. "I’m sure Gayoon Hyung won’t let anything bad happen to you."

"Right. I’m confident I’ll survive because I have Gayoon Hyung. But I’m worried about you all," Noh Yuno said bluntly. "We suspect that we have at least two serial killers on the loose. Attacking me might be just their way to distract you. So, we have to make a plan with the assumption that we’re dealing with two serial killers."

"Yah. Wait a minute," Rebecca complained. "You make it sound like our Espers can’t protect us, Noh Yuno. Whether it’s two or ten serial killers, our Espers are capable of protecting us. So, why are you worried about us, huh? That’s insulting."

"Oh, it’s not like that," Noh Yuno said, still indifferent. "Of course, I know that your Espers will protect you. But I’m worried because you’re not as skilled as me as a Guide."

It may sound arrogant to other people.

But all of them who had witnessed Noh Yuno’s excellent skills as a Guide couldn’t refute his claim.

Hence, everyone was rendered speechless.

Everyone knows Guide Noh Yuno-ssi is from the Lab— but only a few know that he’s an E-Class Guide. Most Guides just think Guides from the Lab are a bit more special than those who weren’t raised there.

"Alright, you already made your point," Bambi said, and then he quickly changed the topic. "Guide Noh Yuno-ssi, who do you think the second serial killer will attack after you?"

It could be anyone among the remaining Top 5 Guides.

But, even though Bambi hated to admit it, Noh Yuno’s insights as an E-Class Guide might be more useful than any of the other Guides’ ideas combined.

Hence, he had to ask.

And Noh Yuno didn’t disappoint him.

"This is just my hunch, but I think the serial killer’s next target would be..."

[Present...]

IT HAPPENED so fast.

Bambi froze in shock when Yang Youngjae and Eun Rina suddenly shot up in the air, bringing Noh Yuno with them using Yang Youngjae’s ability to control gravity.

He thought Ki Gayoon would immediately follow.

However...

"Are you not going after them, Gayoon Hyung?" Bambi asked, confused. "Guide Noh Yuno-ssi was just taken away."

"Not yet," Ki Gayoon said, looking up at the hole above where they could see Noh Yuno flying upwards nonstop. "Three minutes— that punk asked me to wait for three minutes before coming to his rescue."

And you’re listening to him even though you’re known for doing whatever you want?

Ki Gayoon may look calm outside, but anyone he could sense Mana could tell that Ki Gayoon was seething inside.

That made Bambi jealous.

I doubt Gayoon Hyung would make that expression if I was the one taken away.

"Bambi," Ryu Sungbin called him, covering his nose and his mouth with his hand. "The second serial killer is here."

As if on cue, the weaker Espers in the hall fell one by one— unconscious.

Ah, it must be that strange powder that Sungbin Hyung discovered.

"Espers, protect all the Guides here with your lives!" Bambi yelled, and then his eyes searched for the person he needed at the moment. "Esper Matthew-ssi!"

"I’m on it, Bambi-ssi."

Matthew then hopped into the air as if he were stepping on invisible steps, and then he clapped his hands once.

A strong gust of wind blew into the grand ballroom.

Everything became chaotic because of that, but it was needed to blow away the strange dust in the air.

However, since they didn’t give a public announcement, the Espers who fell unconscious earlier had now woken up— and were on the verge of a Rampage. Hence, their Guides immediately cane to their aid.

On the other hand, the undercover Awakened Department Police agents were busy evacuating the guests and the Civilians.

And the Top 5 Guides...

Bambi let out a sharp gasp when a severed hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere, clutching at his chest.

This hand is trying to break my Core!

But if Guide Noh Yuno-ssi didn’t teach us how to protect our Cores, I would have died.

No...!
