Chapter 218

— “What?”

— “The show staff are slacking, aren’t they?”

— “Look at this handsome face with your little peepers, do I look like a singer to you?”

— “Alright, I’ll put on my own background music, you start talking.”

Eileen strolled up to the ghost gang, picking out Tessie, Ghost Ruby, and three other lady ghosts. She then lined them up.

She said, “Long story short, Darcey came to the school five years ago but couldn’t find anything fishy about the principal in two years. Three years ago, Room 444 was about to be reopened. With the surveillance equipment in it no longer usable, Darcey had no choice but to start the so-called ‘fishing expedition’.”

Eileen pointed at Tessie and continued, “With the reopening of Room 444, Darcey was bummed. This frustration made her pay extra attention to the girls in this room. Then Darcey noticed Tessie, a girl with a heart of gold and a face that could launch a thousand ships. She thought Tessie could be the perfect bait and sent her to the principal. Unfortunately, the principal didn’t bite.”

“Hold up.” Jarvis interrupted Eileen, “The principal didn’t fall for it?”

Eileen replied, “Right, surprise. Tessie and the principal didn’t get it on.”

Jarvis frowned, “Why not?”

Eileen explained, “Well, if the principal had hooked up with Tessie three years ago, the tragedies that followed wouldn’t have happened. If the fish bit the first bait, there would be no need for the rest.”

Jarvis thought for a moment, then nodded, “Makes sense. Keep going.”

Eileen continued her story, pointing at Yulia, “After Tessie, it was Yulia’s turn. When Yulia also failed, there were no more good-looking girls left in Room 444. So Darcey turned her attention to girls in other dorms. She found Mamie and Hattie. But they all failed as well, until Ghost Ruby appeared.” Eileen moved to stand in front of Ghost Ruby, “Ghost Ruby was successful because she, like Sally, looked like the principal’s first love.” Simon looked at Ghost Ruby, then at the principal’s first love in the crowd, puzzled, “Do they really look alike?”
