CHAPTER 276: CHANNELING TECHNIQUE

LEE SARANG scanned the instructions that the System gave through her personal Status Window.

To be honest, he didn’t know what was going on.

But she had a feeling that she had to follow the System.

Hence...

"Jericho-ssi, come here," Lee Sarang said, grabbing Jericho by the hand. The Guide looked confused, but he didn’t resist. "Guide me again. But, this time, give me your energy instead of purifying my corrupted Mana. Can you do that?"

"That’s called ’Channeling’ and not ’Guiding,’" Jericho corrected her, and then he gently squeezed her hand. "And, yes, that’s something I can do."

After Jericho said that confidently, Lee Sarang felt a warm wave of energy entering her system and spreading throughout her body.

Yes, this was really different from guiding.

Guiding usually makes me feel relaxed, but this technique is making me feel energized.

"I did it," Jericho said, and then he asked worriedly: "Is that enough?"

"Yes," Lee Sarang said, and then she looked up when her personal Status Window popped up again. "I think so."

[Esper Lee Sarang, please mix the energy that you received from Guide Jericho with your Mana. Then please use your ice to freeze the contaminated humans. The energy from Guide Jericho won’t freeze them to death.

But the System recommends thawing the ice as soon as the contaminated humans lose consciousness.

And then bring them to South Korea as soon as possible.

To be precise, bring them to Guide Noh Yuno.]

Oh.

As expected, it had something to do with Noh Yuno again.

Lee Sarang just knew that the center of all of this was the E-Class Guide.

"N-Noona, the zombies are here!"

"Yeah," Lee Sarang said while looking at the door. "I can see that."

The ’contaminated humans’ looked pretty similar to how ’zombies’ were portrayed in most media— like rotting, moving corpses with purple skin.

I just need to freeze them for a moment, right?

Lee Sarang opened her hand and summoned her crystal scythe, grabbing the handle as soon as it materialized. "Everyone, stand behind me."

It was funny how the kids— Kim Jaeha and Kwon Hojun— immediately hid behind her.

So did the Gu Twins.

Only Jericho remained standing on the spot while watching the ’zombies’ charge at them with sparkling eyes.

That Guide is a bit weird.

Anyway, Lee Sarang was about to swing her crystal scythe when she recognized one of the ’zombies’— making her eyes widen a bit out of shock.

That person...!

***

WHEN Yuno opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.

His body felt heavy, but he couldn’t care less about it at the moment.

"My patients..."

"You’ve successfully extracted the Artificial Cores of your patients, Noh Yuno."

Yuno turned to his side and, as expected, it was Ki Gayoon sitting on the chair next to the bed. "Hyung..."

"All the patients you helped are alive," Ki Gayoon said while gently caressing Yuno’s forehead. "Lee Woonhak is looking after them. According to the last report I got from him, the patients’ bodies have returned to normal."

That was a relief.

"You called Woonhak Hyung-nim?"

"Yes. We need a doctor, after all. Did I do well?"

"Only because I trained you well, Hyung."

"Oho? Are you treating me like a dog now, you punk?"

"Are you not?"

"Arf, arf."

Yuno burst out laughing when Ki Gayoon barked like a dog. "Hyung, you can be funny sometimes."

"Anything for your entertainment, Babe Princess."

Pfft.

"Hyung, come here," Yuno said, opening his arms. "I want a kiss."

"Aigoo. Since when have you become a baby?"

"It’s your fault for spoiling me all this time, Hyung."

"Yes, yes. Everything is my fault," Ki Gayoon said, and then he suddenly started unbuckling his belt. "So, I should take responsibility."

Yuno’s eyes widened in shock. "Hyung, what are you doing?"

"You said you wanted a kiss."

"Yes, a kiss. That doesn’t require you to take off your pants!"

Ki Gayoon chuckled. "Babe Princess, do you think I can stop at just kissing when this is one of the rare items you ask me for a kiss?"

Aigoo.

Yuno covered his face with his hands, not really protesting— he was just embarrassed that his body wanted what Ki Gayoon wanted as well. "Hyung, you’re really a pervert."

***

"IS THAT you now, Noa-san?"

Hmm?

Moon Noa blinked slowly until his gaze focused on Haru.

Why is Haru carrying me like I were his bride?

And then he remembered the System possessing his body.

No wonder I feel tired.

He could also imagine Haru catching him before he fell to the floor.

Hence, I’m in his arms like this.

"Where are we?" Moon Noa asked. He still felt a bit disoriented after the System took over his consciousness, so he couldn’t really tell if they were still in the same room that he remembered before ’fainting.’ "Are we still in Ki Gayoon’s dungeon?"

"No, the System brought us here..."

When Haru trailed off while his eyes were wandering around them, Moon Noa did the same.

That was when he realized they were in a room...

... a ruined room, at that.

It was obvious that a brutal fight had occurred there.

Moreover, there was a giant block of ice in the middle.

"Noa Oppa."

Moon Noa turned to Lee Sarang.

He wasn’t surprised to see their country’s #2 Esper there.

Only Lee Sarang can make a scary block of ice look that beautiful.

"Noa Oppa, Haru Oppa, look closely at the zombies I froze there," Lee Sarang said worriedly. "You’ll see a familiar face."

First of all, Moon Noa was curious about the ’zombies’ that Lee Sarang mentioned.

But that curiosity vanished when he spotted the familiar face that she was talking about.

"Osaki Shohei?"

It wasn’t Moon Noa but Haru who uttered that name.

And, yes, one of the ’zombies’ was Osaki Shohei— Haru’s (former) Guide.

What the hell is happening here?

***

OH, TENTS?

Yuno was impressed when he saw medical tents were already set up on the vast front yard of the orphanage.

We didn’t take too long, right?

Yuno was also hoping that no one would realize he just had sex with his Esper.

After all, he was able to walk out of the room on his own two legs.

Hyung and I only had a quickie, so I came out after cleaning up myself.

On the other hand, Ki Gayoon had to stay in the bathroom because he needed to take care of his erection.

My body can’t handle a second round of sex, so Hyung is taking care of it on his own.

Ahem.

Anyway, 17’s barrier was still all over the place.

Moreover, Yuno was happy to see many familiar faces there.

Lee Woonhak.

The B-Class Esper-slash-Healer in Gayoon Hyung’s team.

Kang Dabin.

Gayoon Hyung’s one and only friend.

And Lucca.

Dabin Hyung’s Exclusive Guide, and the Guide known as the ’Golden Angel.’

Yuno was about to greet his hyungs, but he stopped when his personal Status Window popped up again.

[Guide Noh Yuno, please prepare for the pandemic.]

Excuse me?
