Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 214

Resident Advisor Darcey suddenly froze.

So did Jarvis and Simon.

Since Darcey discovered the principal Decker’s scheme when the first girl – Tessie was killed, shouldn’t she have called the cops and expose the principal after Tessie’s death?

If the principal was caught right from the start, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to the remaining five girls, right?

If the principal wasn’t caught, does that mean Darcey never called the cops?

For a moment, all three of them turned to look at Darcey!

Darcey was silent for a while, then she wiped the blood on her forehead with a tissue and said dryly, “I did call the cops, but they let him out a few days later, saying there was no evidence to arrest him…”

Eileen narrowed her eyes, “No evidence every time?”

Darcey nodded, “Yes.”

Eileen asked again, “Did you call the cops anonymously?”

Darcey responded, “I was afraid he would retaliate, so I didn’t reveal myself.”

Eileen studied Darcey for a while, then nodded without saying anything.

Simon then asked, “Ma’am, can you tell us everything you know in detail?”

Darcey crumpled the tissue in her hand and looked at the three of them, asking, “What do you want to know?”

Then, Darcey recounted her experiences over the past five years.

It was pretty much the same as what was written in the diary.

Basically, her daughter passed away five years ago, and she was devastated. Still fresh in her memory, she came to this school to be an RA. But three years ago, she discovered that the disgusting principal was back to his old tricks, preying on young girls just like he did to her daughter.

Darcey had warned those girls, but they didn’t listen, so the tragedy kept repeating.

As Darcey was nearing the end of her story, the phone in the office rang.

She picked it up, spoke for a while, then told them, “I have to go out for a bit. It’s late, you guys should go back to the dorm.”

With that, she got up and walked out.

Jarvis and Simon didn’t stop her. They knew that this was the end of this part of the story, the character had to exit.

After RA left, Simon said, “Now that we’ve sorted out all the information and the backstory is clear, the main problem is Principal Decker. So what should we do? Do we need to find evidence to put Decker in jail?”

Jarvis pondered for a moment and nodded, “I think so. I guess once we find the evidence, our mission will be complete.”

At this point, Eileen looked at Jarvis, then she looked at Simon.

She asked, “Are you guys serious?”

Both were taken aback and looked at her, “Why do you ask?”

Eileen shook her head, stood up, and walked out, saying, “Let’s go check out room 444 first.”

At the door of room 444 on the fourth floor.

The three of them stared at the locked door in front of them.

Jarvis frowned, “It seems we need to find the key first. This key might be…”

“Bang!”

Jarvis and Simon were both speechless.

Jarvis and Simon both turned to look at Eileen, who had just kicked the door open.

Eileen waved away the dust in the air and squinted into the room.

After taking a look, she didn’t go in, but said, “I see.”

Jarvis looked at her, “What’s wrong?”

Eileen snorted and said, “This isn’t room 444 at all.”

“This isn’t room 444?” Simon was stunned. He pointed to the room number and said, “But it says 444 on the room number.

Eileen thought Simon was a bit slow.

She said, “The diary wrote that the last girl to live in room 444 was Ghost Ruby, who died three months ago. Look at how abandoned this room is. Does it look like someone lived here three months ago? This

place hasn’t been lived in for at least five or six years!”

Simon finally got it.

Once he understood, he immediately turned his head and began checking the numbers on the other dorm room doors.

After checking, he said, “Why isn’t there a room 443 or 445 on this floor?”

09:52

If they could find rooms 443 or 445, they could at least determine which one was the real 444.

But now, rooms 443, 444, and 445 all seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Eileen wasn’t surprised. She said, “The room numbers here have been switched.”

Simon frowned, “Who did it? Was it Decker?”

Eileen chuckled helplessly.

Suddenly, she slapped Simon on the head and admonished, “Who do you think did it? The dorm stuff is definitely managed by the RA! Which school’s principal would have time to mess with the room numbers in a girls’ dorm?!”

Simon was speechless.

Eileen said, “Didn’t you notice something? The story Darcey just told seemed interesting, but she actually left out the most crucial point.”

Simon asked in confusion, “What crucial point?”

Eileen looked at him and said, “She kept talking about how the principal killed those girls, but don’t forget, the first page of Darcey’s diary said that room 444 was being reopened and she was worried about the things that happened in the past happening again. Room 444 holds a secret, but she never mentioned what that secret was!”

Simon said, “So that must be that her daughter used to live in room 444, right?”

Eileen shook her head, “Whether her daughter lived in room 444 or not doesn’t conflict with the fact that room 444 holds a secret. After all, the principal didn’t just target the girls who lived in room 444. Those three girls who died didn’t live in room 444.”

Simon looked a bit confused, “So what’s really going on?”

Eileen at this point pulled out a hand from her pocket, in which was a red stamp. “Don’t forget, we’re doing a devil-themed show, so what’s the role of the ‘devil’ in all this?”

In the control room behind the scenes.

The scriptwriter looked at Eileen on the monitor, a touch of surprise on his face. “Who would have guessed, she’s the smartest one.”

The assistant director held a walkie-talkie, giving orders to the crew. “Wraith Ruler has shown the stamp, you can proceed now.”

After finishing the talk, he turned off the walkie-talkie and turned to the scriptwriter. “I thought Jarvis would be the brainy one, given his Ivy League education and impressive background. But he missed some things that Eileen caught.”

The scriptwriter excitedly proposed, “Let’s make a bet on how long it’ll take them to solve the problem!”

The assistant director checked the time and said, “They might have it cracked by dawn.”

The scriptwriter chuckled, “I think an hour should do it!”

The assistant director was surprised, “You have that much faith in Eileen?”

The scriptwriter shrugged, pointing at the monitor, “Let’s just wait and see!”

A bunch of ghosts appeared again, but they’re not scary because the actors had removed their makeup.

But, with the appearance of the ghosts, the lights in the dormitory suddenly went out again!

Then the eerie sound effects started up all around once more!

“AHHH!” Eileen freaked out!

She’s brave when the lights were on, but became a total scaredy-cat when they went out!

She immediately ran behind Simon and Jarvis, clutching their clothes tightly, not daring to peek out.

A mass of dark ghosts slowly drifted over to her.

Eileen kept her head down, not daring to look at them.

Simon called out, “Ms. Lopez, you give them some orders! They only listen to you.”

Eileen, trembling, turned on her flashlight, sweeping the beam over the ghosts, then asked, “Are you all here?”

No one answered her.

Eileen said, “If you’re all here, then count off, starting with Phyllis.”

Phyllis was speechless.

Jarvis rubbed his forehead, reminding her over his shoulder, “Ms. Lopez, they can’t talk.”

Eileen remembered, then she raised the stamp, loudly declaring, “So now, I grant you the ability to speak. Now you can talk. Count off!”

The crew that played the ghosts were speechless and helpless.

Jarvis and Simon were speechless too. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

The assistant director and scriptwriter were also speechless, watching this scene.

The assistant director looked at the scriptwriter, joking, “This is the girl you had that much faith in?”

The scriptwriter felt helpless.

Meanwhile.

At a remote campsite in Verdantia.

Major Warner opened the tent curtain to see a stern man lying on the bed, his arm bandaged, holding a phone, constantly refreshing the screen.

Major Warner felt sad just looking at him, he advised, “Give it up, no amount of screen polishing’s going to make someone call.”

Egbert lifted his eyes, put down the phone, and asked coldly, “What do you want?”

Major Warner pouted, “Nothing, just brought you something.”

With that, he pulled a satellite signal detector from his pocket and tossed it over.

Egbert caught the detector, froze when he saw what it was.

Major Warner said, “Kelvin from the third squad says thanks for saving his life and getting yourself injured. As a thank you, he found this for you. It’s an old model satellite signal detector, discarded from the front line. Just use it without worries.”

The military satellite signal detector can detect the military satellite network. Although the signal is unstable, it can find a signal even in remote mountainous areas without network coverage.

Once he’s delivered the item, Major Warner left.

After he’s gone, Egbert looked at the detector in his hand, he’s silent for a moment, then turned it on, the red light on the instrument lights up.

Two minutes later, Egbert entered the live stream room of Haunted Chronicles.

After a period of darkness on the screen, a picture finally appeared.

It’s his long-lost Eileen.

A smile appeared on his face.

But the smile didn’t last for long, because he saw this frightened girl, hiding behind two tall men.

Egbert was somewhat upset.

She looked very scared, her body pressed against the two men. Her delicate little hand was clutching the corners of each man’s clothes.

Egbert thought, “What’s going on here?”

Her hand was gripping very tightly, and she herself was extremely tense. The force she’s using seemed like she would love to tear the men’s clothes off and hold them tightly!

Egbert thought, “What the hell is going on?”
