Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 216

Eileen walked up to the bedroom door on the left and said, “This room should be number 443 or 445.”

Then, she kicked the door open with a bang. But the room was empty.

Eileen turned around, went to the bedroom on the right, and kicked the door open in the same manner. She shone her flashlight into the room, revealing piles of stuff.

The room didn’t have any of the usual bunk beds, wardrobes, or desks that a girls dorm room would have. Instead, it was filled with all sorts of equipment. There were three computers alone. Besides, there were listening devices, external sound cards, video recorders, and even a telescope by the window. Eileen ran over to the telescope and looked out. Sure enough, it had a view of the building across, but the angle was a bit off.

Jarvis and Simon followed her into the room.

Simon was clearly surprised, saying, “This…”

Eileen turned to the two of them and said, “Let’s piece together the timeline. Five years ago, Sally jumped to end her life. Her mother, Darcey, was heartbroken and came to work as a RA at this school. We need to note that Tessie only appeared three years ago, while Darcey has been working as a RA for five years. This means, there were two years when nothing happened in the school.”

Simon quickly added, “Right, according to the diary, the tragedy only happened after room 444 reopened three years ago.”

Eileen laughed, saying, “The tragedy has nothing to do with the dorm. Darcey didn’t want room 444 to reopen because she was using it all along!”

Eileen pointed to all the stuff in the room, saying, “You see, this is a girls’ dorm building, and the only person who has the keys to all the rooms is Darcey. So, who else could own all these things?”

Jarvis frowned, “So, the secret of room 444 isn’t some ghost story, it’s just that Darcey wanted to use the room to store these devices and spy on the building across? What’s in that building? Is there a principal’s office?”

Eileen said, “Exactly! The principal has always been her target!”

She then turned her attention back to the ghosts outside the door. The ghosts were startled. They had been watching the three in the room and didn’t expect to be noticed! Some quickly looked away.

The less intelligent ones also lowered their heads at the reminder of their peers, pretending they weren’t eavesdropping.

Eileen pointed at the group of them and said, “You think I was touching their clothes just to steal their food? You’re too nearsighted! I’m not that greedy! I was checking the material of their clothes. Most of them are wearing school uniforms, but they are not the same style. This means they are from different eras, and not all of them died within these three years.”

Jarvis said, “Indeed, it’s impossible for so many people to have died in such a short span of three years.”

Eileen picked up the two stamps in her hand and said, “We already know that the stamp with the word ‘Benevolence’ can be used to control a group of ghosts. So, what does the stamp with ‘Academy’ do?”

As she spoke, Eileen walked up to Ruby and without a word, stamped her neck with the seal. As soon as the stamp was applied; she stared at Ruby.

Ruby stared back at Eileen. Their eyes locked. After a while, Eileen blinked and asked, “Are you okay?”
