Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: THIEF

IT FELT like Yuno was submerged in water.

No, actually it felt more like mud.

It was as if he were swallowed by a quicksand— suffocating, and every time he parted his lips to gasp for air, something disgusting would enter his mouth. Hence, he chose to close it tight even if it made it harder for him to breathe.

Whoever is behind this disgusting attack, you better kill me properly— if I survive, I’m gonna bury you in mud!

[Guide Noh Yuno-nim!]

It was the System.

Yuno’s barely open eyes quickly scanned the content of the Status Window that popped up in front of him while he was struggling.

[The System will help you.

But after this, we will need at least eight minutes to recover since we’re not allowed to help Awakened People directly.

So, for the next eight minutes, try to survive until help arrives!]

Ah, fuck you.

Yuno knew he should be thankful to the System despite how bare minimum it was.

But it was hard for him to feel grateful when he didn’t know how to survive for eight minutes against an enemy who could obviously kill him easily.

Gayoon Hyung, please come and save me ASAP.

There was nothing wrong with acting like a damsel-in-distress when you have a powerful boyfriend, okay?

[Now, good luck, Guide Noh Yuno-nim!]

And then the Status Window turned into little pixels until it completely disappeared.

As soon as the Status Window disappeared, Yuno felt a strong force pulling him up.

Just like that, the drowning feeling disappeared— as well as the disgusting feeling of mud all over his body, especially on his face.

I can finally breathe again.

"How did you break free from that, Noh Yuno?"

What the...?

Yuno was still grasping for air while leaning against the wall when the enemy that he had been looking for since earlier had finally come out.

It was, indeed, Bambi.

But...

"Why do you smell like a monster?" Yuno asked weakly. "Your Mana isn’t the Mana of a Guide..."

Even Guides knew the scent of a dungeon monster.

Hence, Yuno was sure that the "person" standing in front of him wasn’t human.

It’s as if the thing in front of me is a monster wearing the human skin of Bambi-ssi...

And then he remembered what Moon Noa said earlier.

"So, Sajangnim was correct," Yuno whispered in disbelief. "You really are a monster, Bambi-ssi."

Bambi tilted his head to one side as if he were amused. "Did Moon Noa recover his memories already?"

"So, you’re really a monster. But how..."

"Do you think humans are the only species in this universe capable of evolution?" Bambi asked, scoffing, while walking towards Yuno as if he were a predator approaching his prey. "But you have to blame your fellow humans for our evolution."

Oh, that was something Yuno could agree with.

Humans’ curiosity and greed know no bounds, after all.

But, to be honest, he didn’t have the luxury to worry about that.

I should run, fight back— anything but freeze on the spot.

But Yuno’s body wasn’t listening to him.

Heck, he couldn’t even move an inch.

When he looked down, he realized that his feet were buried in what seemed like melted wax. And that was exactly the reason he couldn’t move at the moment.

Dammit!

"Noh Yuno-ssi, thank you."

Yuno lifted his head, and then knitted his eyebrows when he saw Bambi’s bright smile while looking at him. "Thank you for what?"

"For making Gayoon Hyung fall in love with you this deeply."

What the hell is this twink saying this time?

"I let you have your way with Gayoon Hyung because I needed him to fall in love with you first for my plan."

Aigoo.

He’s as strong as a high-ranking Esper...

It fucking hurts...

So, this was how Bambi-ssi stole Ryu Sungbin from Sajangnim...

***

And the presence of the thing with that kid.

Moon Noa lifted his head and met the gaze of the person guarding him in that room. "Erwan-ssi, is it?"

"Yes, that’s my name."

"Since when have you been working with that pink monster?"

Yes, he could tell that the thing torturing Noh Yuno was Bambi.

"You don’t have to worry about that," Erwan said in a snobbish tone. "You should be more worried about what will happen to Noh Yihun."

"Oh, I’m not worried about that."

"Why not?"

Moon Noa chuckled when he realized that even this person didn’t know how Noh Yuno survived in the Lab before he and Ryu Sungbin "rescued" the boy.

Yes, his remaining memories were starting to get clearer.

"What’s funny?" Erwan asked, obviously agitated. "Are you acting that way because you don’t remember Noh Yihun—"

"If that pink monster is trying what he did to me to Noh Yuno, then he’s bound to fail," Moon Noa said, smiling. "He can’t steal it from Noh Yuno."

As if on cue, another blood-curdling scream was heard from next door.

But it wasn’t Noh Yuno this time.

Moon Noa laughed while listening to Bambi’s scream. "See?"

***

"ARGH!"

That blood-curdling scream that echoed in the room was from Bambi.

He almost got all his Mana sucked out of him.

Fortunately, he was able to pull his hand out of Noh Yuno’s chest. And then he retreated, a bit spooked because of what happened.

"How?" Bambi asked in disbelief. He wasn’t sure if Noh Yuno could hear him because it seemed like the boy had fainted while still standing. Yet, he had to ask: "Why do you have so many hearts and Core in you, Noh Yuno?"
