Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 212

Eileen gave a thorough check.

Seeing that those people were no longer scared, she felt relieved.

She walked up to the female Wraith Ruler.

Now she, without makeup modification, the once impressive ghostly image was gone.

Eileen turned to look aside again.

All the staff had removed their ghastly makeup, looking much more comfortable.

However, Phyllis, Jaqueline, and Hedy didn’t have ghost makeup to begin with. After they removed their makeup, they were all bare-faced.

Phyllis and Jaqueline were trying their best to squeeze into the crowd, hoping not to be caught on camera.

Actually, it was so dim that you couldn’t see anything clearly.

Eileen ignored them, waved her hand, and said, “Let’s go, we’re heading back.”

Then she led them like a mother duck with her ducklings, back to the first floor.

The Resident Advisor’s office.

Jarvis and Simon found new clues!

They found the Resident Advisor’s diary.

The Resident Advisor didn’t write in it every day. It was a thick hardcover notebook, but only a third of it was written on.

Or maybe it wasn’t really a diary, but more like a surveillance log.

She flipped to the first page, which recorded a day in September three years ago.

-[September 1st, sunny. It’s the first day of school. Room 444 is occupied. This room has been vacant, but with too many new students this year, they had to clear out the room. I hope nothing happens like before.]

Flipping to the next page.

-[September 18th, cloudy. Tessie gave me a jar of mixed vegetable canned food made by her mom, as a thank you for unlocking the door for her the other night. Lately, she and the other people in room 444 seem to be not getting along well?]

-[September 30th, cloudy. Tessie came back late again last night, but it wasn’t raining outside, so why was she soaked when she got back? Could it be that she also…] “She also what?”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind!

Jarvis and Simon both turned around!

Simon was startled!

When he saw Eileen, he breathed a sigh of relief, clutching his chest and saying, “Ms. Lopez, you scared the hell out of me!”

Eileen took the diary and opened the page. “You get scared to death so easily?” she said casually. Simon shone his flashlight outside and saw that the “ghosts” were still following her in the corridor. He

shone the flashlight back, complaining to Eileen, “Why didn’t you tell us you were back?”/

Eileen looked at them, helplessly saying, “I did tell you guys. You just didn’t hear me. You just don’t care about me!”

Simon was stunned, about to explain.

But Jarvis joked, “No way, as both of your dad, I’ll always love you.”

Eileen and Simon were both speechless.

Eileen swung at Jarvis, “Who asked you to play my dad?”

Jarvis quickly raised his hands, laughing and begging for mercy, “It was just a joke.”

With that, Jarvis looked back at Simon.

Simon showed no reaction, just reading the diary.

Jarvis was surprised.

After a while, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Didn’t Simon notice it?

Then Eileen, focusing on the diary, asked, “Who’s Tessie?”

Simon replied, “Not sure, keep reading.”

-[October 11th, raining. I saw him bringing Tessie back to school today! So, his target is pretty, innocent, naive new girls like Tessie who know nothing about the world. How should I warn her?]

[October 13th, cloudy. I told Tessie that man can’t be trusted, but she wouldn’t listen to me. She’s completely captivated by him. Is history repeating itself?]

-[January 3rd, cloudy. I got a call, Tessie is dead. The security said she fell from the sixth floor of the teaching building. But why would she be back at school during winter break… It must be that devil’s doing!]

February 2nd, raining. A transfer student moved into room 444, her name is Yulia, she’s very pretty… I have a bad feeling.]

There were many more entries in the diary.

After the three of them read through it, the RA’s office fell silent.

After a pause, Jarvis was the first to speak, “In total, five girls died in three years, which matches the information we found before…”

“The first to die was Tessie, followed by Yulia, Mamie, Hattie, and Ghost Ruby. Tessie, Yulia, and Ghost Ruby all lived in room 444 before, but the other two didn’t.”

At this point, Eileen corrected, “Actually, six people died, including the girl with the ponytail we saw yesterday.”

Jarvis paused, then nodded, “Right, six people, but what connects these six? If it’s only targeted at people in room 444, then Mamie, Hattie, and the girl with the ponytail never lived in 444.”

“And there’s that man.” Simon said, “Who is that man? Is it Latham?”

Jarvis frowned, “It’s possible. After all, Latham is a senior this year. Three years ago, he just started school. In terms of timing, he could have encountered these six girls and killed them one by one.”

“Really killed? I don’t think it’s murder.”

Eileen interrupted, “Latham is just a high school student. Do you really believe that a high school student could kill six people in three years in a school environment and not be discovered? Do you think that’s likely?”

Jarvis and Simon both fell silent.

Eileen chimed in again, “And in the diary, she referred to him as a ‘man’, not a ‘boy’, ‘man’ implies that he should be an adult, right?”

The RA’s place fell quiet once more.

After some thought, Jarvis said, “One thing you guys can’t forget is that all six of us guests here are somehow related to Latham. Eileen and Hedy have a crush on Latham, Bartley is on the basketball team, Phyllis is a cheerleader. Out of the six of us, four are somehow connected to Latham.”

Eileen looked at Jarvis and asked, “What about you and Jaqueline? Who are you guys related to? There must be some sort of connection, right?”

Jarvis mused, “Jaqueline is the school belle, and I’m the school doctor. Doesn’t sound like there’s much of a connection…”

to deep

At the RA’s place, the three of them fell into deep thought.

After a while, Eileen turned to Jarvis and asked, “Didn’t you mention that you’re related to the principal?”

Jarvis nodded, “Yes, I’m related to Decker Kendal…”

At this point Jarvis suddenly paused! Eileen was taken aback, she looked at Jarvis and asked, “Is Kendal the principal’s surname?”

Jarvis was startled by this discovery as well, he gravely said, “Yes, the principal’s name is Decker Kendal, his name and picture are on the wall of the school cafeteria…”

Simon immediately said, “So we can link him to this now. What’s the relationship between Decker Kendal and Latham Kendal? Father and son? Uncle and nephew? If they’re father and son, then your role as the school doctor could also be connected to Latham. And what does Jaqueline being the school belle represent?”

Eileen squinted and said, “What does being the school belle represent? Beauty? Isn’t it written in the diary, both Tessie and Yulia are pretty… And they’re all freshmen, just like Jaqueline, Jaqueline is the new school belle among the freshmen.”

Jarvis looked at Eileen seriously, “Are you suggesting that Jaqueline’s presence is not related to the murderer, but she could very well be the next target?”

The moment Jarvis said this, the entire RA’s place went quiet.

After a while, Eileen stood up and said, “Guessing won’t get us anywhere, let’s go check out dorm 444, maybe we’ll find other clues there?”

Jarvis and Simon got up and said, “Alright.”

The three of them turned around, about to leave the RA’s place.

Suddenly, they halted.

The hallway outside, which was bustling with noise just a moment ago, was now eerily silent, not a soul in sight.

Eileen was stunned, she pointed at the door and exclaimed in shock, “Where’s my tape recorder! I have lots of tape recorders, how come they’re all gone! Who stole them!”

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Then, footstep sounds came from outside.

It wasn’t a woman’s footsteps, but a man’s.

The footsteps were heavy, slow.

They were gradually approaching.
