Chapter 255 Sticking to One's Convictions
The Understated Dragon Lord
Despite Avaâs 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 wouldnât
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 Jennflowerâs 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 stunnedâgleamed over, petrified by the incident.
"What just happened? Did Jennflower's body move?"
"It seemed like it kicked LightS, didnât it?"
"She's dead, right? Shitstrong declared her dead back at Kingâs! 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 couldnât 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 couldnât 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 couldnât 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. Donât 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; thatâs 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; itâs not the body kicking me!"
LightS was as unconvinced as Shitstrong. To those who didnât believe in him, Daniel had little more
to say. Since LightS didnât trust Danielâs 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 punchâhe couldn't kill LightS. At worst, the little boy might just kick out a
couple of LightSâs teeth.
Daniel casually put his hands in his pockets, ready to watch what was about to unfold.
