Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Lily clutched the amulet in her hand, frowning at the tarp in the distance.

“This resentful spirit’s a tough one,” said Lilly. “She… huh?”

Blake asked, “What’s up?”

Lilly pointed at the corpse in the distance. “Daddy, her eyes are closed.”

Blake looked over. That really was the case.

No one had been paying attention to the corpse, but Lilly had been watching closely.

Her eyes had been round and open, and now they were closed.

Blake said, “But that didn’t happen to the boy’s body from last night…”

The male corpse’s eyes had been rolled back in the river. It moved twice when he got on shore, following him.

Lilly stared at the river for a long time. “I’ve got it… we were wrong, Daddy.”

Blake said, “Oh?”

Lilly replied, “There should be two resentful spirits. One of them is fierce, the other one not so much. The one who grabbed you yesterday was the fiercer one, Daddy. I think the less fierce one is in that lady’s body.”

Blake understood at once. “So there had only been two girls who fell into the water last night. This girl Jane’s been dead for a long time, and became bait. The boy saw Jane after saving the two girls, and went into the water. Then he was killed by the resentful spirit.”

Lilly nodded, holding up a thumb. “You’re a genius, Dad!”

Blake waggled his eyebrows. “Well, of course.”

Lilly said, “How’d the two girls fall into the water anyways? Did they see Jane when they fell in?”

Blake said, “I’ve looked that up for you. The girls thought the lights looked really pretty reflected onto the water, and fell in while they were trying to take photos.”
