Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

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. | 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.” “They didn't see Jane, but felt like they were being dragged out. They were too terrified at the moment to be sure if it was just the current.” “The boy just happened to pass by, and rescued them immediately. The boy had just reached shore when he heard a splash and someone screaming for help...” Both father and daughter understood now. The boy had saved both girls, and no one was supposed to die in the first place.

The problem was with Jane.

Blake saw the already dead Jane standing upright underneath the banyan tree by the river when he went there to check...

The tide had been low lately, so Jane would have no way of climbing onto shore. Even if she had been caught by a branch, there was no way she would be able to stand upright.

Lilly fiddled with the amulet in her hands, her tone nothing but worried. “Now we get it. We just don’t know how to catch the two resentful spirits.” The two spirits had probably already seen her, and were most likely not going to go close to the riverbank anytime soon.

Blake lowered his gaze and whispered, “Lilly, how about | take you on a boat trip tonight?” Lilly perked up at once, raising a hand. “Yes, please!” “But Dad, the ghost will probably recognize us. We should dress up a little.” She covered her mouth with her palm, whispering as well.

Blake hauled her into his arms. “You mean to disguise ourselves.” Lilly said, “Yep, so you should dress up as a woman so you won't be recognized, Daddy!” Blake was baffled by this.

Upon finding out that Blake and Lilly were leaving, Harvard finally put his phones away and left in a hurry.

More and more streamers crowded over, trying to get firsthand footage of the corpse. They were all stopped by security outside the garden.

Harvard kept walking, not even caring about getting a shot.

He had breaking news! Upon returning to his room, Harvard got to work immediately.

After being done with editing ‘Dead Female Body Found’, ‘Man Watches Woman Drown’, ‘Deceased’s Mother Curses At Rescue Team’ had just hit the top searches.

Most of the comments under “Dead Female Body Found” were about the same, reading something like.

“Rest in peace!” “I cried...” “Hope there is no suffering in Heaven!” Following this, was the video of Blake stopping people from rescuing the girl.

“Who's this? He's not going to rescue the girl, but not letting others do so either?” “I'm speechless. How do people like this exist?” “Yeah, but | saw another video of the girl's mother blaming the rescue team for coming too late to save her daughter LOL. | think people like this should just die! They don't deserve any sympathy at all!” The tide had been low lately, so Jane would have no way of climbing onto shore. Even if she had been caught by a branch, there was no way she would be able to stand upright.

“I saw that too! Gosh, my blood pressure spiked watching that old hag scream her head off...” “That's true, but that tall dude isn’t exactly an angel either? Why'd he stop the rest from helping?” “I don’t think everyone should speak too soon. There was probably danger in the water, and that was why the tall dude didn’t let them go in!” To avoid further confusion, the netizens scrambled for related videos just to get a clearer glimpse of what had been in the water.

And they found a blurry video of the middle-aged woman being dragged down the water by a floating corpse...

The netizens were shocked. “F*cking hell, is my vision screwing with me?” “It's fake, isn’t it? All the videos are really blurry, I'm pretty sure someone edited them!” “LMAO. What year are we living in? All phones have HD cameras until it comes to the supernatural or UFOs! You're making all this up!” “It's not fake, | was there! | think | saw that corpse move...” And so, the topic ‘Fake Dead Body’ hit the top searches.

This was what Harvard had been waiting for. He had ultra-clear footage.

“Ha ha! They don’t know what's coming!” He was going to go viral for sure this time! Harvard uploaded the video immediately.

He was smart about it, uploading the video of the corpse dragging her mother into the water first.

“The Full Story: Part One — Drowned Girl Wilds Out, Drags Mother Underwater!” Sure enough, the video blew up like a cannon within less than half an hour of being uploaded! The netizens were all scared out of their wits.

“Gosh, that's a clear video. | just sh*t my pants! | even saw how pale that girl's face was!" “I'm a good person and | believe in kindness, grace, love, trust, the law, my country...” “I'm so sorry | watched this. Please watch over me God, and keep my family and | from harm...” There were even comments of religious texts.

Of course, there were the doubters as well: “That's such a clear video. Was it edited in post? LOL, | can’t believe people are believing this crap.” “It has to be edited. I'll bet my life savings on it.”
