Chapter 211
“What?” The chief director exclaimed, struggling to get up.
However, as soon as he attempted to rise, a sharp pain shot through his butt.
With no other choice, he laid back down, asking in disbelief, “Wraith Ruler?”
The crew members turned on a tablet, switching to the live stream of Haunted Chronicles.
On the screen, Eileen stood behind Jarvis and Bartley, looking utterly bewildered! |
She was timidly glancing at the hordes of ghosts surrounding her.
All the staff members playing ghosts had actually all appeared!
“Who the hell let them out?!” The chief director shouted.
These ghosts were supposed to appear in batches according to the development of the plot, but now they’re all pouring out!
The crew pointed at a female staff member dressed as a ghost and said, “Hedy told her to come out.”
The chief director was so furious he was huffing and puffing, “Is Hedy out of her mind?!”
The chief director couldn’t believe that the plot had completely spiraled out of control just because he stepped out for a bit!
The cause of all this started back in the daytime.
At noon, Eileen suggested that the six guests split up and gather information.
They all set off on their own, Hedy heading towards the basketball team captain Latham’s classroom, presumably to ask him for some information.
But Latham wasn’t there, and Hedy came up empty-handed, so she started rifling through his backpack.
She was in luck and found a specially wrapped seal.
The seal was a crucial clue.
Once the seal fell into Hedy’s hands, the relevant clues were automatically triggered.
The production team relayed this information to Hedy through her earpiece, which left Hedy with two options.
One, share the information about the seal with the rest of the team, brainstorm together, and continue exploring the story behind the ghosts;
Or two, go alone and volunteer to play the ghost. This seal could make Wraith Ruler trust her.
Hedy chose the latter!
The chief director thought it was a good twist at the time.
Having one of the six guests become a ghost added a thrilling element to the plot.
But no one could have predicted that Hedy would take it to such an extreme, not only awakening Ruby but also summoning all the ghosts in the building! The entire pace of the story had been thrown off.
The current plot had collapsed into complete nonsense!
How would they continue the story from here?
The chief director, fed up, tried to get up from the bed, prepared to rush back to the scene!
The staff stopped him, comforting him, “You should rest. The assistant director has already taken over.”
The chief director frowned, asking, “How is he gonna deal with it?”
The staff handed the chief director the tablet, saying, “No idea, let’s wait and see.”
On the other side, in the girls’ dormitory on the first floor.
In the dimly lit hallway, the flashlight illuminated a row of demonic faces, making it particularly eerie!
The tension in the room was palpable.
Eileen poked her head out from behind Simon.
She shouted at the ghosts, “I’ve already created a seal for you guys, you should have all disappeared! Why are you still here?”
Puppets couldn’t speak.
All the ghosts stared at her and remained motionless.
Simon shook his head, he also had no idea. He turned to Jarvis.
Seeing this, Eileen also turned to Jarvis.
Faced with two pairs of hopeful eyes, Jarvis laughed, “Am I in charge here? Why are you all looking at me?”
Simon was speechless. He could still joke in this situation!
He said, “I was asking for your opinion.”
Jarvis thought for a moment, “At least they’re not attacking us. Maybe they’ll disappear when daylight comes?”
That was a possibility.
Simon paused, then told Eileen, “Since they’re not moving, let’s go check the Ghostly Registrar. There might be some information we haven’t found yet.”
Eileen nodded and quickly headed towards the office.
Just as they started moving, the ghosts behind them began to move as well.
In an instant, all three of them stopped, tensely watching the ghosts.
But when they stopped moving, the ghosts also stopped.
Jarvis furrowed his brow, “Are they following us? Should we try again?”
As he spoke, he cautiously took a step to the side.
The ghosts didn’t move.
Jarvis look at Simon.
Simon also took a step to the side.
The ghosts still didn’t move.
The two guys turned to look at Eileen.
Eileen blinked, lifting her right leg to take a step…
Suddenly, the ghosts behind her also lifted their right legs!
Eileen froze, her right leg still in the midair.
She hesitated, and with her left leg, jumped on one foot in place.
The ghosts were speechless.
The ghosts had no choice but to follow Eileen like a fool, right foot in the air, standing on left foot and jumping in place like a chicken. “Wow!”
Eileen realized and she said, “They’re obeying me! They’re mimicking me!”
Both Jarvis and Simon were speechless.
So were the ghosts.
In the comment section:
-[Oh my god! The ghosts are mimicking humans! They’re puppets! Puppets!]
-[Hahaha, humans do love to mimic each other!]
Eileen suddenly found it amusing.
She looked at the ghosts, her eyes spinning, and then suddenly slapped herself hard across the face!
Both Jarvis and Simon were speechless at her actions.
So were the ghosts.
Eileen urged with gloating, “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.”
The ghosts glared at Eileen, almost driven mad with anger.
But they had no choice. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and slap themselves!
The sound of slapping echoed in the hall for a long time.
“Hahaha!” Eileen sat on the ground, laughing so hard her stomach hurt.
Simon couldn’t stand to see it anymore, he gently tugged at his aunt, saying, “Ms. Lopez, we should go to the Resident Advisor first.”
Eileen pushed Simon’s hand aside, saying, “I’m not going, you guys go first, I’ll catch up with you later.”
Simon furrowed his brows, “You should stop playing around with them.”
Eileen responded nonchalantly, “I know, I know.”
Simon said, “You…”
Jarvis cut him off with a light pat on his shoulder, “If she wants to have her fun, let her be. It’s not the end of the world. Let’s head to the RA.”
Simon grumbled, “She’s so mischievous!”
Jarvis pulled Simon along, saying, “She’s all grown up now, you can’t worry about her like this. She knows what she’s doing. We gotta trust her.”
“But she…”
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
After Jarvis left with Simon, Eileen and dozens of staff were the only people left in the hall. Eileen, sitting on the floor and stroking her chin, pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she scrambled to her feet and announced, “Let’s move, follow me!”
The chief director, propped up in his hospital bed, watched the live feed with anticipation, eager to see what Eileen would do next.
Ten minutes later, the chief director watched, face deadpan, as Eileen washed her face at a sink.
Behind, dozens of staff members playing ghosts also followed her to wash their faces. After a few washes, their heavy makeup was almost completely scrubbed off.
Their painted green skins were gone, the red blood streaks on their faces disappeared, even the white contact lenses were removed.
In an instant, the dozen people dressed as ghosts turned into ordinary staff members.
They stood around looking confused, like tourists who had accidentally wandered onto a movie set.
And Eileen, she was like their tour guide.
