While Emmett succeeded in changing the awkward atmosphere in the room,
Nebbercracker turned his head towards Edyth, planning his next step to solve the Constance problem.
"What day is it today?"
he questioned calmly, his mind racing with plans.
"Oh~ it's Halloween,"
Edyth replied, oblivious to Nebbercracker's expression slowly changing to an ugly one.
"____"
"HOLY MOTHER FUCK!!!"
Nebbercracker's eyes widened, and he shouted in panic, becoming agitated once again.
"Cool off, old man. Why are you in a hurry again?"
Emmett attempted to calm Nebbercracker.
"I need to go. Otherwise, Constance will hunt down every kid who steps onto the lawn for Halloween,"
Nebbercracker declared, grabbing the walking stick prepared for him.
Meanwhile, at DJ's house...
DJ and Chowder were observing Nebbercracker's house with a telescope through the windows.
Whenever a kid approached the lawn, they intervened to stop them.
They even tried to put up a warning board, but the grass absorbed it underground.
VROOM...
HONK... HONK...
They heard the sound of a car engine followed by the familiar car that belonged to the DMC squad.
"DJ, they're back. Come on, let's go,"
Chowder exclaimed, hurrying out of the room.
BANG...
DJ, who had been sleeping with his legs on the desk, fell from his chair at Chowder's sudden exclamation.
After listening to Chowder's scream, DJ followed hastily.
When Jenny and the others exited the car, they were greeted by the same girl they had saved earlier.
"What are you doing here, girl?"
Jess asked, surprised to see her.
"Oh, I just arrived. I wanted to see how you guys are going to solve the monster house,"
the girl replied with a shy smile, not wanting to miss such an opportunity.
"____"
"____"
Following them, Nebbercracker also emerged from the car.
CLICK...
At that moment, the door of DJ's house opened, and Chowder came out with an excited smile.
But when he saw Nebbercracker's face, his expression turned to panic.
"GHOST! GHOST! DJ, COME HERE, NEBBERCRACKER CAME BACK AS A GHOST TO TAKE REVENGE ON US!"
Chowder shouted in panic, falling back and calling for DJ's help.
"____"
Hearing Chowder, Nebbercracker's eyebrow twitched, and his smile cracked into a scary one.
"What do you mean..."
DJ, who arrived, was shocked to see Nebbercracker alive and well.
"How are you still alive?"
"____"
Unfortunately, Nebbercracker heard DJ's whispered question, and his anger began to rise once again.
"Calm down, kids, he's alive,"
Jess reassured them, rolling her eyes at the banter.
"So, what are we going to do next?"
Alice looked around, eager to know their plan.
Everyone's eyes turned to Jenny, as she was the most experienced in their team.
"What? The old man is back on his feet, so he will be able to keep the possessed house in check, right, honey?"
Kang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking their mission was over.
"____"
"No... we need to destroy the house to free Constance's spirit,"
Jenny shook her head, explaining the situation to Constance.
"So... how are we going to do that? Are we going to burn it, or hit it with a JCB, or any other way?"
Jasper inquired, nodding thoughtfully.
"I have a bomb with me. We could use it,"
Nebbercracker revealed, taking out a bomb from the coverings of his broken arm.
"____"
"____"
"____"
"____"
'How do you manage to keep it there, old man?'
were the thoughts running through everyone's minds as they looked at him with deadpan expressions.
The sky was already starting to darken as night approached.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Nebbercracker coughed in slight embarrassment.
"You guys wait here. I will try to convince Constance to open the door, and then I will light the bomb and throw it into the house to destroy it,"
Nebbercracker explained his plan to blast the house to dust.
"But it's very dangerous for you,"
Alice interjected, disapprovingly.
"____"
"Then what should we do?"
Rosalie looked at Alice with narrowed eyes, determined not to fail their first mission.
"We need someone who could ease the atmosphere... talkative... blabber nonsense without fear,"
Jenny stated, after a moment of deep thought, describing the qualities needed for the person to take Nebbercracker's place.
"____"
"Um... someone talkative... eases the atmosphere... blabbers nonsense... there is no one present in the world who can do all three of those,"
Kang scoffed, grinning and taunting Jenny.
But everyone's gaze slowly turned towards Kang, who was making jokes and laughing himself, unknowingly becoming the center of attention.
Feeling the intense glare on him, Kang looked at the others with a questioning look.
'Why are you guys looking at me like that?'
was the only thought in his mind as the intensity of the gaze increased.
After 30 minutes...
"Go, Kang, you can do it."
"____"
"Come on, man, be a man."
"____"
"Honey, you can do it. I will show the video to Alex of how his father fought a monster."
"____"
"If you do the job correctly, Jojo might consider hiring you."
"____"
"Hey... Jenny, don't worry, don't worry... for a simple job like this, how could I, Chowder, not do it? That's why I allowed him to..."
"____"
"Even for Chowder, it was an easy job. For me, it's a breeze."
"____"
Kang stood before the lawn of Nebbercracker's mansion with a gloomy expression on his face.
For each comment, Kang's eyes and mouth twitched.
'You guys, why are you cheering as if you're watching a baseball game? And you, Jenny, recording a video of me facing this monster seriously... And Jojo, you motherfucker, where are you?'
Kang cursed silently, his blood pressure rising steadily.
'Calm down, Kang... calm down... you can do it.'
Sigh...
Kang took a step onto the lawn with determination filling his eyes.
