Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: GLIMPSE OF THE PAST

WHEN KI Gayoon looked around, he realized that the "scenery" changed.

He was back at the Esper Facility that "raised" the First Generation of Espers.

To be precise, he was back in his "chamber" that looked like a psychiatric ward.

Everything is white.

"Oppa, can I stay here in your room again?" the young Lee Sarang asked meekly while walking towards him. "Mother scares me."

’Mother.’

Haaah.

Gayoon smirked bitterly.

I can’t believe I had to hear that name again.

There was only one person that all First Generation of Espers referred to as ’Mother’— and that person...

"Sarang-ah."

Gayoon called Lee Sarang the way he did when they were younger— when the kid was still a crybaby.

Well, I guess she’s still a crybaby.

"Yes, Oppa?"

"Mother is dead."

Lee Sarang looked shocked, obviously. "O-Oppa, what are you saying?"

"I killed Mother," Gayoon said bluntly, and then he grabbed "Lee Sarang" by the throat. "Like this."

"O-Oppa!"

"Lee Sarang" scratched Gayoon’s arms, but he didn’t budge.

Just when the fake was about to croak, "it" finally showed its true appearance.

The monster was a humanoid frog— it had the head of a frog and the body of a man. It had green skin and lanky limbs. Moreover, the monster’s huge amphibian eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"How fucking ugly," Gayoon said, scoffing. And then he snapped the monster’s neck with his bare hand. "I need to see Noh Yuno’s face to cleanse my eyes after this."

He then flicked the monster’s forehead— causing its head to explode right away.

Yes, that was how powerful his flick was.

I just hold back a lot when I flick Noh Yuno’s forehead.

Green blood splattered everywhere except Gayoon since he created a transparent barrier around his body.

"Oppa, are you alright?"

Gayoon dropped the headless body of the monster.

When he looked up, he saw Lee Sarang floating above him— beautiful crystal wings made from white-blue ice protruding on her back.

He also noticed that they were back on the bridge above the Han River.

Actually, the floor of the bridge was barely visible because it was now filled with humanoid frogs.

And there were more humanoid frogs in the "river."

Tsk.

"Are you alright?" Gayoon asked Lee Sarang. "This dungeon messes with our mind. It seems like it has the ability to bring out our bitter memories."

Lee Sarang had a weak mental fortitude, to say the least.

Hence, he was worried.

This kid remained #2 all this time because she often has mental breakdowns.

"Don’t worry, Oppa," Lee Sarang assured her. "My mind has never been clearer. Yuno-ssi’s Guiding is really effective."

"Keep my Guide’s name out of your mouth, crybaby."

Instead of getting scared by his threat, Lee Sarang just laughed. "Oppa, that’s what you used to call me in the past! Are we getting closer again?"

"We were never close."

"Oppa!"

"Just focus— I want to get out of this dungeon as soon as possible."

"I’ll freeze the river then," Lee Sarang said, her eyes already glowing red. "Oppa, please protect me while I’m gathering the amount of Mana I need to do that."

"Alright."

Gayoon then raised his hands, causing a huge group of humanoid frogs to float.

And then he clenched his hands.

As soon as he did, the heads of the monsters blew up.

After all, he used his <Telekineses Compression Skill> to, well, compress the heads of the monsters until those things exploded.

Gayoon smirked, thrilled that he didn’t have to hold back when using his power now.

I have my Exclusive Guide waiting for me at home, after all. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

***

BAEKHO gulped nervously when his boss, Ki Gayoon, stepped out of the dungeon with Lee Sarang.

High-ranking Espers, especially the naturally awakened S-Class Espers, were grouchy and sensitive after raiding a high-graded dungeon. Hence, they tended to snap easily— causing harm to people around them.

Moreover...

If there were Civilians here, they would have fainted already.

***

I don’t want to touch my Exclusive Guide while I’m still filthy.

I just don’t want Noh Yuno to think I was in a hurry to see him.

Why is this punk not answering?

Did he get hurt?!

That small mouth of his.

<"I’m coming, brat!">

<"Mmh!">
