Chapter 215 The King of Ghosts
Ebony waited there for a long time but no ghost answered her.
In the end, she could only sigh and regretfully said, "It seems that I can't fool you. I think Rita was stupid and I can cheat her easily..."
Rita didn't say anything.
Moses didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ebony muttered, "I intend to cheat them into speaking to us and we can ask them things about the plot..."
Justin couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Good idea but they are not fooled. What shall we do now?"
Ebony said, "Okay, we'll do it ourselves. Walk ahead!"
Ebony hid behind the two boys and pushed their backs as if she was holding two shields. They moved a few steps forward.
When they walked in front of the ghosts, Ebony suddenly stretched out one of her hands to search the pocket of the ghost, Rue.
Both Justin and Moses were confused.
"Miss Gibson, what are you doing?" Justin asked.
Ebony said, "I'm looking for the evidence."
While speaking to him, Ebony was searching Rue's pocket and she really found something there.
It was a piece of chocolate!
"Wow!" Ebony didn't expect to get something unexpected. She rolled her eyes. Without thinking too much, she took back the chocolate and put it into her pocket!
And then, she continued searching Rue's pocket!
Rue was speechless.
Ebony touched Rue's whole body and finally found a key to one of the dormitories in the pocket of the lining of her coat.
She handed the key to Justin and said, "The dormitory can be unlocked by the key must be 444."
Justin took the key and glanced at Ebony in surprise. He smiled, "You are so clever, Miss Gibson."
Ebony said proudly, "Yep! When she knocked on our door and asked for kids, I guessed that staff with so many lines must be an important role! And there must be clues on her!"
After saying that, Ebony reached out to the pocket of another female ghost next to Rue.
Moses asked, "Is she also an important role?"
Ebony didn't answer him. A few seconds later, she found a wafer biscuit in her pocket!
"Wow!"
Ebony put the biscuits in her pocket and continued to touch another ghost.
Moses didn't know what she was doing.
Ebony was no longer afraid now.
She even thought Moses was getting in the way and directly pushed her way to stand in front of him. She then started to search all the ghosts' pockets.
She got cookies, melon seeds, candies, and crisps!
"Were you having a tea party when taking a rest just now? How come there are so many foods!"
Ebony was extremely excited. She went back with so many snacks after searching their pockets!
She opened a bag of jelly happily. Ebony sucked and said, "I'll give them back to you after I go out."
All the ghosts stared at her and no one believed in her nonsense!
At this time, there came Justin's voice from the other side of the corridor, "Come over here."
"We're coming!" Ebony shouted and ran there with Moses.
Although the ghosts behind them thought the king of ghosts was annoyed, they had to run with her because of the binding relationship between them.
The real room 444 was the one that was across from Ebony's dormitory.
The door was opened and there was a rotten smell inside that was the same as that of the room across from it.
Ebony lit up the room with the flashlight and frowned.
Justin walked inside and checked it for a while. He then said, "There seems to be nothing wrong here."
Nobody might have lived in this dormitory. There were no sheets or quilt covers on the bed and only four empty iron shelves left here.
It was also empty in the wardrobe and on the desk.
It was clear at a glance that there was nothing here.
Moses sighed, "Is it possible that there's nothing wrong with room 444? The room number was changed just because there were too many murder cases on campus. Moreover, Nancy, Dora, and Rue were the girls who used to live in dormitory 444. The dormitory keeper worried there would be too many rumors so she took away the room number and changed it to another one?"
Justin looked at Moses and nodded. She flattered, "It makes sense, Moses."
Moses smiled and thought he was clever enough.
But Ebony frowned and shook her head, "No. There must be something wrong with dormitory 444. Changing its room number was probably done recently. But it's written in the diary three years ago that there will be something ominous if reopens dormitory 444. Therefore, there must be something wrong in dormitory 444."
Moses spread out his hands, "But it's clear at a glance that there's nothing here."
Ebony pursed her lips and thought about it.
"Redon Academy," Ebony muttered, "Is it the name of the school?"
"Yes," Justin said. He then took out a nameplate from his pocket.
It was his nameplate as a school doctor, saying- - Justin Graham, school doctor in Redon Middle School.
"Was it the predecessor of 'Redon Middle School'? How many years has Redon Middle School been established?" Moses looked at Justin and asked.
Justin was stunned and raised his eyebrows, "Why ask me?"
Moses frowned, "You are the teacher. Who else can I ask?"
Although Justin was a teacher, he was also a guest. He didn't know much information.
Justin rubbed the middle part of his eyebrows and said helplessly, "OK, let me think, think about it..."
"The school has been established for a hundred years," Ebony suddenly said at this time.
Justin and Moses turned to look at her at the same time.
Ebony pointed outside the window of dormitory 444.
Outside the window, in the distance, what was exactly across from it was the teaching building of the school.
The dim moonlight gently hit the white tiles on the exterior wall of the teaching building.
From their angle, they could clearly see the huge red characters. " Century-Old Prestigious School" appeared in front of them.
"I got it!"
At this moment, Ebony suddenly said, "This is the secret of dormitory 444!"
Neither Justin nor Moses understood, "What's it?"
Ebony narrowed her eyes and pointed forward. What she pointed at was the teaching building that was across from her. She said, "That's the secret."
The teaching building was an old western architectural structure. It looked high, wide, and magnificent at night.
Moses didn't understand, "What's wrong with the teaching building?"
Ebony glared at him in disgust and said, "Don't you understand yet? The window of dormitory 444 is facing the teaching building, so it is in this dormitory that people can monitor every room in the teaching building which is across from it!"
Moses frowned, "It couldn't be true. How can they monitor it at such a distance?"
"Telescope could do it! Besides, the room numbers of dormitory 443 and 445 were also changed and they were next to 444!"
While saying it to them, Ebony turned around and walked straight out of the dormitory.
As soon as she went out, she ran into dozens of ghosts.
Ebony disliked them and pushed them away. She said, "Get out of the way, I'm busy!"
Dozens of ghosts hurriedly stepped backward to make room for the king of ghosts!
