Chapter 256 Dark Omen Sorcery

"Tasha, what's wrong?" The three of them rushed over quickly, and Billy hugged Tasha in his arms.

"Daddy, there's a little girl lying over there!" Tasha pointed to a big rock not far away, her face turning pale.

Billy and the others looked over, only to see a small girl of fifteen or sixteen lying motionless on the ground. Her face lacked any trace of color, her lips were turning purple, and her entire body appeared as thin as a skeleton, almost as if she was just skin and bones, weighed less than forty pounds.

"Boss, there's still a faint sign of life." Stout hurried over and examined the situation, then took out a few silver needles from his pocket and inserted them into crucial acupoints on the little girl.

"Wife, you stay here with Tasha and wait for me," Billy gently set Tasha down and spoke to Harleen.

Harleen nodded slightly.

"How's it going?" Billy walked up to Stout.

"Pulse is faint, vitality is fading, it's a close call." Stout responded.

"Hmm?" Billy frowned and reached out to feel the little girl's pulse.

"Boss, there's something strange about this!" After Billy withdrew his hand, Stout spoke again with a slightly solemn expression.

"Wake her up first!" Billy's face looked grim as he nodded slightly.

The symptoms that Stout could see, he could see as well. Moreover, he could see more than Stout could. The little girl seemed possessed by a sinister spirit, enveloped in a malevolent aura. This condition was definitely not caused by an ordinary illness.

As his words trailed off, Billy placed his hand over the girl's heart. A surge of powerful and radiant energy flowed from his palm into her body.

After a few minutes, the girl coughed dryly and struggled to open her eyes. Her gaze appeared vacant and lifeless, as if she was in a detached state.

"Little one, what's your name?" Billy spoke softly.

"What's my name..." The little girl's tone was weak and she looked confused.

"Do you know why you're here?" Billy asked again.

"I... don't know..." the little girl shook her head slightly.

"Do you know where your home is? Or do you know your parents' names?" Billy furrowed his brow once again.

"I don't know..." The little girl struggled with each word she spoke.

"Boss, she's not good. I suppose that her memory has been..." Stout took a deep breath before speaking.

"Use the Nine Needles of Secret Essences!" Billy moved his hand away from her chest.

"You mean she...?" Stout was slightly taken aback.

Billy nodded. "Let's begin!"

"Alright," Stout nodded.

Right after that, Stout gave his wrist a quick twist, releasing the silver needle from his hand. The needle zipped through the air, heading straight for eight major pressure points on the little girl's forehead, solar plexus, and sternum. As a final move, Stout held the silver needle between his fingers, his gaze turning intense. He aimed the needle at the girl's lower abdomen acupuncture point. As he drove the needle in, a shadowy aura, almost like a wisp, surged out from within the girl's body. Without any delay, it swiftly darted through the air, flashing a few times before hurtling at lightning speed towards Billy's forehead. It was as if it was in a hurry to find its next host.

"Watch out!" Stout shouted.

Billy's eyes sank and a burst of momentum erupted from him, immediately wrapping tightly around the evil spirit.

"I see," Stout nodded his head.

Due to this incident, Tasha's rowing project would need to be postponed until next time. At first Tasha was naturally unhappy about this but after being comforted by Stout for a bit she became cheerful once more.

"Daddy, what kind of illness does the little girl have?" After driving away in their car Tasha looked over at the small girl sitting in passenger seat and asked curiously.

"She has an unusual illness so we're taking her straight to hospital." Billy smiled as he answered Tasha's question

"Poor little girl! She looks so skinny!" Tasha said with sadness evident in her voice

"Don't worry, Tasha. She will recover soon enough."Billy patted Tasha's small head gently.

"Really? That's great news!" Tasha said, happily relaxing her eyebrows.

"Billy, is she really okay?" Harleen furrowed her eyebrows, able to tell that the little girl's situation was far from ordinary.

"Yea, don't worry, Harleen." Billy replied with a faint smile.

Harleen nodded in agreement.

Two hours later, back in Ozin, Stout dropped off Harleen and Tasha at Royal View Villas before driving with Billy to the SHADOW base.

Upon arriving there, Stout carried the little girl into the courtyard of their base.

"Boss, what's going on?" Judge walked out from inside and asked after taking a look at the little girl in Stout's arms.
