Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: #1 & #1

"ARE YOU going to face Ki Gayoon?"

"Who else can face Ki Gayoon if not me?" Ryu Sungbin asked back, making it sound like Song Heejin had just asked a stupid question. "Since Ki Gayoon was able to locate this area, it’s safe to assume that the System is guiding him to us."

"I don’t think that’s the case," Song Heejin— aka ’Mother’— said while putting her hands in the pockets of her white lab coat. "Based on Ki Gayoon’s tracks, he seems to be headed to our second base."

It was unnerving to talk to Song Heejin, who was using a different body.

Mother is still possessing Eun Rina’s body— someone who’s way younger than us.

Hence, he felt awkward speaking formally to her.

"The cloning device is there, so Ki Gayoon must be after it," Song Heejin said. "Go and retrieve the cloning device before Ki Gayoon gets his hands on it. Now that Moon Noa is here, we can finally replace the ’battery.’"

"That’s the plan," Ki Gayoon said. "If you have nothing else to say, then I’m leaving."

"I expect you to bring back not only the cloning device, but Ki Gayoon as well."

"So, you want me to use the cloning device to lure Ki Gayoon here."

"Exactly," Song Heejin said, nodding. "We’ll have a new heart to restart the cloning device. So, we’ll also need a new ’main’ Esper."

Ah, that was Ryu Sungbin’s role.

Maybe it’s more appropriate to say that it used to be my role— I clearly got fired just now.

"Don’t take it to heart, Sungbin-ah. It’s just that your compatibility rate with Bambi has decreased recently," Song Heejin said, smiling sympathetically at Ryu Sungbin. "We should have Bambi and Ki Gayoon undergo another matching rate test. I have a feeling that they’ll have a decent compatibility rate this time around. It’s nothing personal, Sungbin-ah. We’re just doing this for the greater good."

"I know that," Ryu Sungbin said, walking past Song Heejin. "And I know my place, so you don’t need to overexplain."

***

HOW UGLY.

Ki Gayoon scoffed at the ’dogs’ that kept following him as he leisurely walked in the pathway of that hiking trail.

Who knew those bastards have been hiding deep into the mountains?

Well, he wouldn’t know either if the System didn’t give him a map as a reward for the side-quests that he had accomplished recently.

It seemed like he was in the right place because he was greeted by ugly ’dogs.’

With quotation marks because the ’dogs’ were obviously monsters with a slight semblance with dogs.

Like they’re the mutated version?

More like zombie dogs?

Anyway, the point was those ’dogs’ were ugly and unnecessarily huge.

They’re twice the size of an adult wolf.

To be fair, a group of those ugly zombie-like dogs could take down (inexperienced) B-Class Hunters and below.

But, of course, Ki Gayoon was above those ugly things.

In fact, all he had to do was use his ability to make the monsters’ heads explode.

He would also flick his wrist from time to time, causing boulders to fly around and hit monsters. Sometimes, he would make the boulders fall on purpose above the monsters— crushing them in the process.

This is getting boring.

And, as soon as he thought that, a strong presence disturbed his leisure strolling.

Finally, a worthy opponent.

"You’re late, Ki Gayoon."

Oh, he appeared already?

Ki Gayoon didn’t expect that the person to greet him would be Ryu Sungbin.

I’ve been a rude bastard for such a long time that people get shocked when I speak politely, huh?
