Guide Me If You Dare Chapter 291: SYMPTOMS OF THE VIRUS

THE MONT Ki Gayoon realized how important Noh Yuno was as an E-Class Guide, he had already prepared himself to fight the entire world just to protect him.

However, Kwak Hakjae didn’t question his willingness to protect his lover.

The president of the Esper Association asked about his ability.

"It won’t be easy, but I’d die first before those bastards could touch Noh Yuno," Ki Gayoon said in a serious tone. He wasn’t being arrogant, and he wasn’t looking down on the World Rankers. It was just a fact that he would die protecting his lover. "If the World Rankers start targeting Noh Yuno, I’ll leave the country to your capable hands, Hyung-nim."

Kwak Hakjae almost choked on his saliva. "W-What did you just call ?"

Ki Gayoon just rolled his eyes. "You’re overreacting, Hyung-nim."

"Yah! You only called that way when you were a teen! When you beca an adult, you turned into a disrespectful piece of shit. Can you bla for this reaction?"

"Well, I guess I’m finally acting my age. I started calling Haru ’Hyung-nim,’ too."

"No, you’re not acting your age— this is all thanks to Noh Yuno. He turned you into a decent mber of society, Ki Gayoon."

Ki Gayoon was pissed, but he couldn’t say anything since it was true that Noh Yuno was the reason he wanted to be a decent person.

Now I’m being sappy.

Thankfully, a distraction in the form of a phone call ca.

Ki Gayoon picked up the call when he saw that it was from Lee Woonhak.

"Boss, I finally figured out the symptoms of the new virus after the System helped study the infected individuals under our care."

"The System helped you?"

"Not directly. But the System sent a huge file of data to the Madam, and the Madam handed that data to to decipher it."

Ah, right.

That happened.

"Ask either 17 or Haru Hyung-nim to escort you here," Ki Gayoon said when he realized what the governnt needed to do next. "We’re going to have a nationwide announcent."

YUNO, as soon as he entered Ki Gayoon’s dungeon, imdiately took a long bath.

Thank goodness the mansion inside the dungeon has electricity, water, and internet connection.

Plus, he didn’t have to worry about food and drinks since he could use his Inventory there.

So, after his nice bath, he put on his expensive silky pajamas.

He quickly went to bed, but not to sleep.

It’s gonna be stressful, but I need to watch the news and assess the situation.

To lessen his stress, he pulled out a box of donuts and a carton of chocolate milk from his Inventory.

He charged his phone, so he turned on the TV and watched the news there.

As expected, the ’zombie apocalypse’ was all over the news.

And, of course, that ant the Civilians were once again shaking in fear.

Tsk.

Yuno was about to turn off the TV because all the news stations were just saying the sa thing.

But he stopped when all the channels suddenly played the sa video.

It was a breaking news segnt...

... in short, all the TV stations were hijacked by the governnt.

And, by governnt, I ant the Esper Association.

Yuno imdiately tuned in when Ki Gayoon’s handso face was shown on the screen. "Oh, that’s my man."

"This is Ki Gayoon, our country’s current leader."

"We know, Hyung."

"I’m here to personally address the current ’zombie apocalypse’ situation that’s terrorizing the country at the mont. Rest assured, everything is under control. The ’zombies’ you’ve seen on the news aren’t the man-eating monsters featured in many horror movies."

"Oh, Hyung is going straight to the point."

"Those ’zombies’ are actually Civilians who were forced to awaken."

"You’re going to reveal it just like that, Hyung?"

Yes, Yuno was talking to Ki Gayoon on the TV as if his lover could hear him.

"We recently discovered a type of virus that could force a Civilian to awaken. But forced awakening is dangerous. If your body can’t handle Mana, your heart will either combust or you’ll turn into a creature that resembles ’zombies.’"

"Ah, he’s really revealing it like that."

To be fair, Yuno thought that it was the best course of action, too.

He was tired of the governnt lying to its citizens all the ti.

To be fair, I know the governnt lies to prevent mass panic. But most of the ti, the officials just lie to protect their asses.

Having said that, he prayed Ki Gayoon would handle the situation well.

If not, mass panic would surely occur.

"As of now, we can say that the ’zombies’ aren’t after flesh at. However, we can’t rule out the possibility of the infected individuals spreading the virus. For now, we strongly encourage everyone to wear a face mask when going out. And, if you can, please stay at ho in the anti."

"Aigoo," Yuno said while shaking his head. "This epidemic is gonna be a pandemic soon if other countries experience the sa thing."

After all, the ’zombies’ had already made an appearance in Japan.

It wouldn’t be far-fetched to think that it could happen to other countries.

"Here are the symptoms you might experience if you contract the ’Forced Awakening Virus."

"That na is quite mouthful."

"So of the symptoms of the virus are similar to the symptoms of a heart attack: chest pain, shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting, and— rember this, as this is the most important one— the urge to jump off a tall building."

"What?" Yuno asked in disbelief. "What kind of symptom is that? That’s scary."

He didn’t know because he didn’t understand the data that the System handed to him.

Fortunately, Lee Woonhak was a talented Healer.

"If you’re having these symptoms, imdiately go to the hospital. The Esper Association will assign Espers and Guides in every hospital and clinic in the entire country to help you."

"That’s going to be a lot of hard work..."

"And don’t worry— we’ve already made a device to detect infected individuals."

"Thank goodness for Mija and my siblings."

"Moreover, we can cure the infected individuals. We can’t say that we’ve completed the antidote yet, but we can help you. So, please— just this ti— trust the governnt."

Yuno gasped and dropped his chips when Ki Gayoon suddenly bowed his head.

It wasn’t a casual bow— it was a deep, polite one.

My man has finally beco a proper human being...!
