Chapter 216 The Rest Followed the Leader's Bad Example
Ebony walked to the door of the room on the left and said, "It's either Room 443 or Room 445."
Then she directly kicked the door open!
But there was nothing in it.
Ebony turned around, walked to the room on the right and kicked its door open too.
She pointed the flashlight in it and saw many things in the room.
There were no bunk beds, wardrobes, desks or furniture that a girl's room should have.
But there were many kinds of equipment!
There were three computers.
There was some monitoring equipment, some external sound cards, video recorders and a telescope by the window.
Ebony ran over to use the telescope to look outside. As she thought, she could see the opposite teaching building, though she could not see it completely as in Room 444 because it could not be seen squarely from this room.
At this time, Justin and Moses also came in.
Moses was instantly stunned. "It..."
Ebony turned to look at the two and said, "Let's go over the whole event. Five years ago, Sarah jumped off the building and died, so her mother who was then a matron felt extremely grieved and came to this school to be its matron."
"We should notice that Nancy appeared three years ago, but the matron worked here five years ago. It means that the school was peaceful for two years before Nancy appeared."
Moses said quicky, "Yeah. According to the diary, the tragedy happened because Room 444 was reused again three years ago."
Ebony sneered, "The tragedy is not related to the dormitory. The matron didn't want Room 444 to be reused because she had been using this room in private without anyone of the school knowing it."
Ebony pointed to those things in the room. "As you know, it is the girl's dormitory. The matron is the only person who has the keys to every room of this building. If you think that these things are not hers, who else can they belong to?"
Justin frowned. "So, the secret of Room 444 is not ghosts at all. It's just that the matron used Room 444 to install this equipment so as to monitor the opposite teaching building. What does the teaching building have? The principal's office?"
Ebony said, "Yes. Her target had always been the principal!"
At the moment, Ebony suddenly looked at the group of ghosts outside the door.
The ghosts were stunned for a moment. They were just bystanders and they didn't expect that they would be suddenly stared at by Ebony!
Some clever ghosts quickly looked away.
Reminded by their companions, some dull ones quickly bent their heads to pretend that they didn't eavesdrop on them.
Ebony pointed at the group of ghosts and said, "Do you think that I touched their clothes just to steal their food? Your visions are narrow. I'm not greedy!"
"I just checked the texture of their clothes. Most of them are wearing school uniforms, but their uniforms are not the same style. It means that they are different generations of students and not all of them died in the past three years."
Justin said, "Yes. It's impossible for so many people to die in just three years. There are still men among them."
Moses disagreed with him and said, "What's the matter with men? Can't they be brought here by the female ghosts?"
Justin was speechless.
Was they brought here by the female ghosts? There was no need for they to love each other so much that the female ghosts took the male ones here...
Then Ebony walked up to the ghost of Rue and stamped a mark on her neck without saying a word.
Then she stared at the ghost of Rue!
And the ghost of Rue also stared at Ebony.
They gazed at each other.
After a long while, Ebony blinked. "Hello?"
The ghost of Rue didn't move.
Ebony frowned. "Should it not be stamped on the neck?"
Ebony grabbed the ghost of Rue's hand and stamped the mark on the back of her hand.
The ghost of Rue still remained motionless. Then Ebony stamped it on her arm.
Her thigh.
Her back.
Her face.
The top of her head.
But she still didn't move yet.
Ebony scratched her head and felt puzzled.
The ghost of Rue whose body was covered with dozen stamps was so shocked!
In the general monitoring room, the assistant director narrowed his eyes, took up a walkie-talkie and ordered. "Attention, please! Start!"
After the assistant director said that, a pop sounded in the scene. A white light was on in the playground outside the window.
Ebony immediately ran to the window to look it and found that there was a huge projector which was stealthily installed there.
Then a movie was played on the screen outdoors!
Ebony waved at those ghosts behind her and said to them, "Come here to watch the movie together. It's supposed that only me who triggered the memory can watch the movie. But I'm so generous that I invite you to watch it and will not charge you for the tickets!"
The ghosts didn't want to talk to her!
But they also wanted to watch the small movies... Anyway, it was free! They would not refuse her!
So, the ghosts quickly rushed over.
At this time, the horrid sound effect that had been played in the dormitory building stopped and was replaced by the movie soundtrack instead.
The movie started to be played.
"Vance, wait for me..."
At the beginning of the movie, young Vance, holding a stack of books, walked before a young girl with fluttering hair who caught up with him and panted.
Ebony instantly said to the female ghost behind her, "It's you. You play the role in the movie!"
The female ghost was shy. She lowered her head and flushed.
The costumes of the actor and the actress in the movie was relatively simple and conservative, and they may be in the 1980s.
There were many familiar people in the movies.
Ebony had a good memory and after a while, she pointed at a ghost behind her and shouted. "It's you. You looked ugly with a brush cut. Your hairline is so high!"
"Look. It's you. Yo, you have a big part in this movie. Eh, can I ask you that do you get more money than them because you have many lines? How much do you earn? I know you cannot say it. You can show me with your fingers. Don't be so mean. Come on."
Ebony kept talking to the ghosts.
Moses had to pulled her and said, "Miss Gibson, you should watch the plot carefully. It was quite tragic."
Then Ebony turned her head to focus on watching the movie.
In the next 15 minutes, dozens of people watched the whole life of Vance.
Vance studied in Redon Academy.
He knew his first girlfriend here who was raped by bastards and committed suicide by jumping off the building...
Seeing this, Ebony turned her head to said to the ghost of Vance's first girlfriend, "You should get one more red envelop for playing such a role. Did the general director give it to you? Don't be afraid. You're my sister now and I will ask him to give it to you!"
The ghost of Vance's first girlfriend nodded and liked Ebony at once!
The plot developed. Vance took the teaching post in the academy after he graduated.
He married the daughter of the then principal of Redon Academy. His wife who was seven years older than him was not beautiful and had divorced. But he still married her for promotion.
Vance kept promoting. A few years later, Redon Academy was renamed Redon Middle School and Vance became the principal.
Then Vance knew Sarah who looked similar to his first girlfriend.
But to his surprise, Sarah did not return to the school after she went back home in a winter vacation.
After a long time, Vance received a call saying that Sarah was dead.
He wanted to visit Sarah's grave, but was scolded by Sarah's mother!
Then the scene changed.
It became the dormitory office!
At the moment, someone outside the door was calling her.
"Aunt."
The matron looked back and saw a girl outside the door. "Nancy, you come back so early."
Nancy handed a vegetable can to her and said, "Aunt, thank you for opening the door for me the night before the last."
The matron stood up, took the can and said with a smile, "You're welcome. It's nothing."
Nancy said, "I should go to the class now."
"Wait." the matron suddenly grasped Nancy's hand, stroked the back of her hand and said slowly, "Nancy, I want you to do me a favor."
Nancy was stunned. "What's the favor?"
The matron took out a document and said, "This is the form of miscellaneous fees for this period. Can you help me send it to the principal's office?"
"The principal's office?"
The matron's voice suddenly became lighter. "Yes. Can you help me do this?"
Nancy didn't take it seriously and said cheerfully, "Okay."
"Bang." The movie ended here.
Justin took a deep breath, pursed his lips and said, "It turns out to be that all people involved are evil. Nancy was sent to the principal by the matron. Miss Gibson... Miss..."
Justin wanted to call Ebony. He turned his head and didn't see her.
Moses touched him on the arm and said coolly, "There."
Justin turned around and saw that Ebony squeezed into the group of ghosts.
She found the ghost of Nancy and asked her, "What happens next? I want to know the plot. Does the movie have season 2? Well, you just show me how much you get with your fingers and I can guess whether it has the season 2 according to your remuneration!"
Justin felt so helpless and said, "Miss Gibson, she cannot tell you..."
Before he could finish his words, Justin saw that the ghost of Nancy carefully looked around and then stealthily showed Ebony a number with her fingers.
Ebony hurriedly said, "Oh. According to your remuneration, it probably has no season 2..."
The ghost of Nancy nodded with a pout. It seemed that she also felt regretful.
At this time, another ghost also gestured to Ebony.
And the ghost next to Ebony gestured to her too.
Ebony nodded. "Um, I also think that she acts well. Her small expressions are delicate and she is gifted!"
Justin was speechless.
He numbly looked at Ebony, the queen of the ghosts, and those who were close to her and chatted with her in sign language.
At last, Justin couldn't help scolding. "The leader sets a bad example and the rest follow suit."
