Chapter 209

Eileen had no idea that the director had been carted off to the hospital again.

She came to the dorm room where the freckled girl had turned into a ghost, with five people in tow, treading lightly.

She switched on the light. The room was just as she had left it, looking run down, with a musty smell of rotting wood hanging in the air.

Phyllis clung to Eileen, saying in fear, “I don’t want to stay here…”

Jaqueline also chimed in, holding onto Phyllis and saying with shaking voice, “I don’t want to stay here either.”

The room was indeed in bad condition, and it didn’t look fit for living at all.

Simon had already ditched his skirt and wig, he said, “I’ll go have a look outside, see if there’s any other room we can use.”

Jarvis responded, “I’ll go with you.”

Simon looked at him.

Jarvis walked over and gave Simon a pat on the shoulder, saying, “It’s a horror movie rule, you know. If you’re alone, you’re more likely to be in trouble.” Simon thought for a moment. It was indeed safer to go in pairs, so he said, “Alright then.”

Once the guys left, Eileen started to inspect the room.

The camera and microphone on the floor had been reinstalled. The room was a mess, and dust littered the table.

Eileen walked over to a lower bunk, running her hand over the sheets, she said, “At least the bedding’s clean.”

Phyllis shook her head resolutely, “Even if it’s clean I’m not sleeping on it! I’d rather stay up all night!”

Jaqueline agreed, “Me too! Me too!”

Eileen turned around. She looked at Hedy who hadn’t spoken a word since they arrived, and asked with a frown, “Hedy, you’ve been quiet. What’s your opinion?” Hedy glanced quickly at the trio through her bangs, then quickly stuffed a small red object into her pocket and muttered, “I don’t have an opinion. I don’t know about this stuff. I’ll just go along with what you guys decide.”

Eileen narrowed her eyes, sizing up Hedy.

Finally, her gaze landed on Hedy’s bulging pocket.

Comments:

-[What’s that thing? When did she get it?]

-[She’s had it the whole time, since she turned into a ghost.]

-[There are only four girls in the room now. Is Hedy going to make a move? But she’s alone, she can’t possibly take on three people.]

[She can’t make a move now, doing so would blow her cover. Eileen could squash her like a bug.]

About ten minutes later, the guys returned.

Simon reported, “Most of the other dorm rooms are locked. The ones that aren’t are even more run down than this one.”
