Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: PARASITE

"WHEN I entered this world, I originally planned to awaken the pairs of Esper and Guide with a 100% matching rate. But, as you already know—"

"You lost," Yihun said, cutting off the System. "You lost, so all your plans went downhill."

"I said I didn’t lose," the System insisted. Even without a pair of eyes, it was clear the dice-headed entity was glaring at Yijhun. "Anyway, this country sucks."

"You’re talking about South Korea, right? So, you fell into our country."

"Yes. I was initially planning to enter the biggest country in this world. But I couldn’t even do that."

"Because you lost."

"Shut up before I make you."

Yihun acted like he was zipping his mouth.

Only then did the System continue talking.

"There’s only one pair of Esper and Guide here with a 100% matching rate. Worse, I couldn’t even awaken the Guide at the time because I only had enough power to awaken the Espers here. I also prioritized awakening the natural S-Class Espers since they could, at the very least, stop the apocalypse from ending the world."

Oh.

Now it made sense as to why South Korea had more natural S-Class Espers than the others.

"Fortunately, I had enough power to awaken an S-Class Guide."

"You’re talking about Moon Noa-ssi, right?"

"Yes, that kid. Unfortunately, his fated pair wasn’t from this country. I didn’t have the power to look for his Esper."

"Oh, god— you’re useless."

"Do you want to lose your ability to speak that badly, kid?"

Again, Yihun acted like he was zipping his mouth even though he had no intention to completely shut up.

I’ll speak if I have to.

"As a last resort, I entered the Core of this country’s strongest Esper."

Ah, the System is definitely talking about Ki Gayoon-ssi.

"I borrowed some of his strength while I was guiding Kwak Hakjae in establishing the System’s Heart and the System Fragments."

Aigoo.

What a parasite.

"I thought I found a safe hiding place— until that kid went on a Rampage for the first time."

Ah.

Yihun was familiar with that incident all too well.

I almost died when I got buried in rubble caused by Ki Gayoon-ssi’s Rampage!

"When that kid went on a Rampage, his Core had become too poisonous for me. Luckily, that incident brought me to you," the System said, pointing a long and slender gloved finger at Yihun. "You are the strongest Esper’s fated pair, Noh Yihun."

First of all, eww.

Second...

So, he knows my name.

Yihun was actually surprised because the System just kept addressing anyone as ’kid.’

Anyway, this dice-headed dude was starting to sound ridiculous.

"I’m Ki Gayoon’s fated pair? Aren’t you mistaking me for someone else?"

"How could I mistake you for someone else when you awakened as a Guide the moment you met Ki Gayoon?"

Ah, so he also knows Ki Gayoon-ssi’s name.

Even so, none of it made sense.

After all...

"But I’ve never met Ki Gayoon-ssi in person before."

"You’ve awakened when you met your Esper."

"And I’m saying I haven’t met him yet—"

Yihun was forced to stop yapping when that cave— or wherever they were— started to shake hard.

It was as if they were experiencing an earthquake.

"Ah, our time is up. Let’s wrap it up here."

Yihun blinked in surprise when, all of a sudden, the System was already standing too close to him.

His size had already changed because right now, they were already the same height.

He was just towering me a moment ago...

"You were wrong when you said I lived inside your body without paying ’rent,’" the System said, poking Yihun’s chest with his sharp nail. "I expanded your Core. How do you think were you able to absorb all the hearts and Cores of your siblings?"

Oh?

The Sytem even knows that?

It fucking stings.

What the fuck is the System doing to me?

If the enemy is a Virus, then the System should change its name to ’Parasite!’

***

"GIVE UP, S-CLASS GUIDE. IF YOU STEP ASIDE, I’LL SPARE YOU. I ONLY NEED THE CHILD YOU’RE PROTECTING."

The System gave me a new skill in order to protect Noh Yihun.
