The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 255 Sticking to One's Convictions

Despite Ava’s uncertain tone, she was determined to stick to her convictions. Even if this incident was related to ghosts, she would definitely not ask for help from the scumbag. She was set on having her team members bring down Jennflower's body, refusing to give the scumbag the satisfaction of shaming her.

Ava glanced towards LightS, the tallest on the team, standing at six feet five inches tall. He wouldn’t need a stool; he could reach Jennflower's body just by stretching his arms slightly.

"LightS, you go take down Jennflower's body."

"Yes, Sarge!"

LightS jumped into action. Yet, before he could reach out, just as he stepped near Jennflower’s feet, her body, whose legs were dangling naturally, suddenly lifted one leg and kicked LightS. Caught off guard, LightS was kicked squarely in the face and sent tumbling to the ground.

Everyone saw what happened and were stunned—gleamed over, petrified by the incident.

"What just happened? Did Jennflower's body move?"

"It seemed like it kicked LightS, didn’t it?"

"She's dead, right? Shitstrong declared her dead back at King’s! If she's dead, why can her feet move? Why can she kick?"

The team members discussed among themselves. The building had been strange enough to start with, and the recent incident just added an extra layer of creepiness to the atmosphere.

Ava couldn’t quite believe what she had just witnessed and asked LightS, "Did you get kicked just now?"

"Uh..."

Picking himself up from the floor and rubbing his sore face, LightS couldn’t be sure one way or the other. "I'm not certain, but it felt like my face was hit. It could be that I was just moving too quickly, and perhaps my face ran into Jennflower's foot."

LightS couldn’t entertain the idea he had been kicked by a female corpse. Like the other officers, he was also highly educated and skeptical about the existence of spirits and demons. The possibility that he had hurried into Jennflower's foot seemed more plausible.

The explanation that he had accidentally collided with Jennflower's foot was grudgingly accepted by the other members as it seemed like the most rational one they could come up with for the situation.

"Since it was an accident, this time be more careful when you go to bring down her body. Don’t run into her foot again," Ava commanded LightS.

As LightS prepared to make another attempt, Daniel offered a friendly warning, "You were kicked by Jennflower once already. If you go there again, you'll get kicked once more."

"Nonsense! Jennflower is dead; that’s just a body. How could a body kick someone? I was just moving too quickly before and that's why I bumped into her foot; it’s not the body kicking me!"

LightS was as unconvinced as Shitstrong. To those who didn’t believe in him, Daniel had little more to say. Since LightS didn’t trust Daniel’s warning, there was no use in trying to convince him further. Let LightS go and get kicked again. After all, Jennflower was possessed only by the little boy, and he didn't pack a strong punch—he couldn't kill LightS. At worst, the little boy might just kick out a couple of LightS’s teeth.

Daniel casually put his hands in his pockets, ready to watch what was about to unfold.
