Chapter 215
Eileen waited there for a long time, but the ghosts didn’t say anything. Finally, she could only sigh and
say regretfully, “Seems like I can’t scare you guys. I thought Phyllis would be an easy mark…”
Phyllis was speechless.
Simon looked confused and asked, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Eileen grumbled, “My plan was to trick them into talking so I could interrogate them directly about the
plot…”
Jarvis couldn’t help but chuckle, then nodded, “That’s a neat idea. But since it didn’t work, what’s our
next move?”.
Eileen said, “We’ll just have to find the answers ourselves. Onward!”
Eileen hid behind the two guys, pushing them forward like they were shields. The trio inched forward.
When they got to the group of ghosts, Eileen suddenly stretched out a hand to feel Ruby’s pocket.
Ruby was confused.
Jarvis and Simon were also curious.
“Ms. Lopez, what are you doing?” Jarvis asked.
Eileen said, “I’m looking for clues.”
With that, she rummaged in Ruby’s pocket and surprisingly found something: a piece of chocolate!
“Wow!” Eileen didn’t expect this windfall. She immediately pocketed the chocolate!
Then she started feeling Ruby’s other pocket!
Ruby was speechless.
After feeling all over Ruby, Eileen finally found a dormitory key in the pocket of her clothes lining.
She handed the key to Jarvis and said, “Whichever door this key opens, that’s the real room number
444.”
Jarvis took the key, looked at Eileen in surprise, and laughed, “Ms. Lopez, you’re really clever.”

actor with so many lines must be playing an important role. She must have clues on her!”
After Eileen finished speaking, she reached out to the pocket of another female ghost next to Ruby.
Simon asked, “Is she an important character too?”
Eileen didn’t answer. After a few seconds, she pulled out a compressed biscuit from the ghost’s pocket!
“Wow!”
Eileen put the biscuit in her pocket and started feeling the next ghost’s pocket.
By now, Eileen wasn’t scared at all.
She even felt that Simon was in her way, so she pushed herself in front of him and started rummaging
through every ghost’s pockets.
There were biscuits, seeds, candies, and chips in those pockets!
“Were you guys having a tea party while resting? You have everything!”
Eileen was very excited and after a round of rummaging, she made quite a haul.
She happily opened a bag of jelly, eating it while saying, “I’ll go out and buy snacks to replace these for
you.”
All the ghosts looked at her impassively, obviously not believing her words.
At this moment, Jarvis’ voice came from the other end of the corridor, “Over here!”
“Coming!” Eileen shouted and ran over with Simon.
Although the ghosts were very annoyed with their Wraith Ruler, they had no choice but to follow him.
Room 444 was opposite the room where Eileen and the others had stayed.
The door to the room was open, and it had the same musty smell as the room across the hall.
Eileen shone her flashlight inside and frowned.
Jarvis went in and looked around for a while before saying, “Seems like nothing’s wrong here.”
This room was obviously unoccupied. There was no bedding on the bed, just four bare metal frames.
The drawers of the wardrobe and the desk were also empty..
It was clear that the room was empty.
Simon sighed, “Is it possible that there’s nothing wrong with room 444? Maybe the sign was changed
just because there were too many deaths on campus. Plus, Tessie, Yulia, Ghost Ruby, they all used to
live in room 444. So maybe Darcey was worried about too much gossip and changed the sign?”
Jarvis looked at Simon and nodded, “That makes sense.”
Simon grinned, feeling pretty smart.

But Eileen frowned and shook her head, “No, there is definitely something about room 444. The sign
was probably changed recently, but the diary from three years ago said that a disaster would occur if
room 444 was used again. So there must be secrets to uncover in room 444.”
Simon shrugged, “But it’s clear that there are no secrets here.”
Eileen pursed her lips and thought for a moment.
After a while, she reached out to Simon, “Let me see your seal.”
“The seal?” Simon took out the seal from his bag and handed it to Eileen, “This doesn’t seem to be of
much use?”
“It must be useful.” Eileen took the seal and also took out her own.
Eileen’s seal read “Benevolence,” while Simon’s read “Academy.”
“Benevolence Academy,” Eileen murmured, “Is that the name of this school?”
“Yes,” Jarvis said, pulling out a badge from his pocket.
It was his school doctor’s badge, which read “Benevolence High School Doctor – Jarvis.”
i
Simon looked surprised, “So, these two seals are actually the school’s emblem?”
Eileen shook her head, “This isn’t the school emblem. ‘Benevolence Academy’ and ‘Benevolence High
School’ may sound similar, but they’re different…”
“Could ‘Benevolence Academy’ be the predecessor of ‘Benevolence High School’? How old is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenevolence High School?” Simon asked, turning to Jarvis.
Jarvis looked surprised and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Why are you asking me?”
Simon frowned, “You’re a member of the school! Who else should I ask?”
Even though he was a member of the school, he was also a guest on the show, so he didn’t know
much.
Jarvis rubbed his temples, saying helplessly, “Let me think… let me think…”
“It’s celebrating its 100th anniversary.” Eileen suddenly chimed in.
Jarvis and Simon both turned to look at her.
Eileen pointed out of the window of dorm room 444.
From the window of the dorm, they could see a school building in the distance directly facing them.
The dim moonlight gently illuminated the white tiles on the outer walls of the school building.
From their perspective, they could clearly see the words “Centennial School” in large red letters on the
wall.
“I get it!”
Eileen suddenly said, “So that’s the secret of dorm room 444!”
Jarvis and Simon were both puzzled, “What secret?”
Eileen squinted her eyes, pointing to the school building, “That one.”
This school building had an old western architectural structure. It appeared broad and majestic in the
night.
Simon was clueless, “What’s so special about a school building?”
Eileen rolled her eyes at him, saying, “Don’t you get it? The window of dorm 444 faces the school
building directly. From this room, you can monitor every room in that building!”
Simon frowned, “No way! It’s so far away, how can you monitor anything?”
“With a telescope you can! Plus, dorms 443 and 445, which are right next door, also have their room
numbers changed!”
As she spoke, Eileen turned around and walked out of the room.
The moment she stepped out, she bumped into dozens of ghosts.
Eileen pushed them all away with disgust, saying, “Move, move! I’ve got stuff to do!”
The ghosts quickly moved aside to let Eileen pass.
